Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy48. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly49. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B50. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they haveto so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn't it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader's concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap53. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people 's attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use itText 3Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our schoolleavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope(摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential57. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ .A. much competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experienceC. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance58. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?A. Your job must suit your interest.B. Your job must set a pattern of life.C. Your job must offer you a high salary.D. Your job must not ruin your talents.59.The best title for this passage would be ____.A. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A LivingC. Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD. How To Choose A Job60. The word "pathetic"in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ .A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touchingPart BDirections:The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers' Union on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For question 61-65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That's all. It's pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown:It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.Mr. Bob Davis:Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don't we all?Mr. Baker:My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody 's forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut then.Miss Slater:Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Mr. Mike Smith62. Mr. Tom Brown63.Mr. Bob David64.Mrs. baker65. Miss Slater[A] A % increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason.[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation'ssecurity and stability.[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker's demands.[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.[F] I must take you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.Section Ⅳ Writing (40 minutes)You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66. Write a letter to a publishing house asking for information on a book about American culture. Your letter should include:1. the name of the book2. the price of the book3. the discount of group orderYou should write approximately 100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.

2007年3月公共英语考试三级模拟试题二及答案Section I Listening Comprehension(25 minutes) （略）Section Ⅱ Use of English(15 minutes)Directions:Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B,C, or Don your ANSWER SHEET 1.TextMost young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 .If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact,no :matches” 37“teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may takemore 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill andless 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.26. [A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of27.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there —moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondentand finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,” I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.”“To another paper?” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history.I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,”he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,”he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody — even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______.[A] newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47. If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in a publishing house.49. When the writer decided to resign the Globe was faced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By “:I wish I were in your shoes.”(in the last paragraph) Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in theevening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will__________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day[C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B] Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect”—conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature —a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible) Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the United States[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soon58. The word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world’s temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[D] the world’s temperature will remain constant in the years to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect..[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels..[C] the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to C ) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.AbbeyYou can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!MarlinI began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer;I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.MaggieDuring my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. "BelindaIf you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles ofmouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse.WoodI went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I’ve got something valuable. That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62. Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63. Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64. Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65. Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing (40 minutes)You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly （Although your eyelids are closed）. This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy48. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly49. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B50. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they havesuddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn't it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader's concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap53. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people 's attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use it。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on theANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and aslave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams wasat home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearlydefined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots ”and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to thegeneral store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paperand the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a toothmark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he worea blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days ”,“late days ”or “nights ”. Overthe years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest,knew when his master would leave the house and return, andthe dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, ashe often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke,much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams'slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on theicy pavement somewhere between the village and his home.He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days;and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover thathe had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The housewas turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was notfound. However, two days later —that was five days after thefall —Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still containedfifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?［A］He was delighted to show them off.［B］He did his best but was not often successful.［C］He did them quickly to get them over.［D］He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .［A］he did not get enough sleep［B］there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train［D］the dog was confused about the time of the day49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］Williams had to go to work at night［B］the dog made too much noise in the house［C］Williams made them all get up early［D］the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］he was unconscious all that time［C］he thought the wallet was in the house［D］he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one intwo hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deepred.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades ofgreen. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference betweenblue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green — a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerousand candidates are tested most carefully. For example, whenfighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to eachother. A green light may mean “Advance ”and a red light maymean “Danger! Keep back! ”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in humanbeings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there aremillions of very small things called “cones ”, These help to seein a bright light and to tell the difference between colours.There are also millions of “rods ”but these are used for seeingwhen it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Waituntil it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you andtry to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. Asfar as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at allonly light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot seecolours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us,and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a mothmay seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appearbeautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects cansee but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］some may see everything in shades of green［B］few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］few may think that red, orange and yellow are allshades of green［D］very few may think that everything in the world is ingreen52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］colours only［B］shapes and colours［C］shapes only［D］darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannotsee colours.［A］because they hunt at night［B］because they cannot see light［C］because they have no cones and rods［D］because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］as well as human beings can not see some colours［B］have fewer cones than human beings［C］have less rods than human beings［D］can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisibleto men.［C］All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule,to have it retold in identically the same words, but this shouldnot lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. Itis always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book,and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstancesof the time and the individual child, is an improvement on theprinted text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. Toprove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and,on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As tofears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fearinto the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches,two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; andthat, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the childshould be taught how to adapt to reality by studying historyand mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to arguewith them. If their case were sound, the world should be full ofmadmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［A］cannot be read to children without variation becausethey find no pleasure in it［B］will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］must be made easy so that children can read it ontheir own［D］is no longer needed in developing children's powerof memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that .［A］fairy tales are harmful to children in that they showthe primitive cruelty in children［B］fairy tales are harmful to children unless they havebeen adapted by their parent［C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［D ］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］told only once［B］repeated many times［C］told in a realistic setting［D］presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］have a very bad effect on children［ B ］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］help children to come to terms with fears［D］harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A ］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of beingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairystory is heard for the first time.［C ］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginaryfigures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talkedabout smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name ofeach person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) givenbelow. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few peoplemight be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like atax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the governmentof Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever socarefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shouttoo loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We arenever shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lingsearly in the morning. That would never do. The advertisementsalways depict handsome, clean shaven young men. Theysuggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smokingis associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums withone hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and onefforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seemto get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It'sso enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every daylife. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案（1）相关内容:。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B ,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1One day in my class, Mafia shared her feelings about money, "Money worries me. I think I want to live without money because I hate it. I HATE MONEY. " We were all touched by Mafia' s words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us. After class I offered to help Mafia deal with her financial problems. She hesitated to accept my offer, and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve. I quickly assured her that I wouldn' t make her do more than she was able to. I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn' t burden her with guilt, judgments, or impossible tasks. All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.Maria still resisted my offer, and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people. "I' 11 never understand money," she said. "My facts are meaningless. " "I don't deserve to have money. " "I never have enough. " "I have too little to manage. " "My financial position isn't worth looking at;" and the most devastating one of all, "I just can' t do it. "Going home that day, I couldn' t get Maria out of my mind. Her attitude conveyed the same negativity and fear that I believed annoyed many people. I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively. My counseling has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear for survival. Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don' t believe we can do it well, and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life, but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were. It locks us up in self-doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power, our spirit.46. Maria's words moved the author and others because they were____.( A ) in the same financial trouble( B ) in the same finacial condition( C )of the same family background( D ) of the same feeling over the issue47. Maria wouldn' t take the author' s offer of help the fear of____( A ) being forced to share her money with others( B ) having to do something beyond her reach( C ) being found guilty of making impossible errors( D ) revealing her judgment about money48. As for money managing, the author intended to tell Maria how to ____.( A ) overcome her fears( B ) make wise decisions( C ) avoid making mistakes( D ) learn the necessary skills49. The word "devastating" (in boldface in paragraph 2) probably means ____( A ) convincing ( B ) instructive ( C ) shocking ( D ) shameful50. According to the author, people's anxieties about managing money result from their under-standing of money as the only source of__( A ) life ( B ) evil ( C ) spirit ( D ) peaceText 2Every newborn baby is dealt a hand of cards which helps to determine how long he or she will be allowed to play the game of life. Good cards will help those who havethem to have a long and healthy existence, while bad cards will bring to those who have them terrible diseases like high blood pressure and heart disease. Occasionally, cards are dealt out that doom their holders to an early death. In the past, people never knew exactly which cards they had been dealt. They could guess at the future only by looking at the kind of health problems experienced by their parents or grandparents.Genetic testing, which makes it possible to find dangerous genes, has changed all this. But, until recently, if you were tested positive the a bad gene you were not obliged to reveal this to anyone else except in a few extreme circumstances. This month, however, Britain became the first country in the world to allow life insurers to ask for test results.So far, approval has been given only for a test for a fatal brain disorder known as Huntington' s disease. But ten other tests (for seven diseases) are already in use and are awaiting similar approval.The independent body that gives approval, the Department of Health' s genetics and insurance committee, does not have to decide whether the use of genetic information in insurance is ethical. It must judge only whether the tests are reliable to insurers. In the case of Huntington' s disease the answer is clear-cut. People unlucky enough to have this gene will die early, and cost life insurers dearly.This is only the start. Clear-cut genetic answers, where a gene is simply and directly related to a person' s risk of death, are uncommon. More usually, a group of genes is associated with the risk of developing a common disease, dependent on the presence of other genetic or environmental factors. But, as tests improve, it will become possible to predict whether or not a particular individual is at risk. In the next few years researchers will discover more and more about the functions of individual genes and what health risks--or benefits--are associated with them.51. The word "cards" in Line 1 refers to( A ) diseases ( B ) genes ( C ) problems ( D ) tests52. The function of genetic testing is to ___( A ) enable people to change genes( B ) help people to create good genes( C ) predict diseases people may have( D ) detect what diseases people have accurately53. Health authorities allow insurers to use genetic information for the purpose of ________( A ) improving genetic testing technology( B ) safeguarding patients' interests( C ) promoting disease prevention( D ) reducing insurance payments54. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?( A ) Genes may contribute to some common diseases.( B ) Environmental factors cause more diseases than genes.( C ) It is common that most fatal diseases are caused by genes.( D ) It is impossible to get clear-cut genetic answers at present.55. The author's purpose in writing the passage is to__( A ) indicate the way genetic testing works( B ) show the power of one' s genetic makeup( C ) introduce genetic testing and its function( D ) reveal the influence of environment on genesText 3Just outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow. In Bra, that' s close enough to being right on time. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin, Bra smells of roses, and leisure is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes "slow food" ( the opposite of American fast food) and one of 31 Italian municipalities that have joined a sister cause, the "slow cities. " These cities have declared themselves paradises from the accelerating pace of life in the global economy. In Bin, population 27,866, the town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic. The city offers cut-rate mortgages to homeowners who do up their houses using a local butter-colored ma-terial and reserves choice commercial real estate for family shops selling handmade chocolates or specialty cheeses. And if the movement leaders get their way, the slow conception will gradually spread across Europe.The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that slow is good, but also that it can work. The Slow City movement, which started in 1999, has turned around local economies by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra, where unemployment is only 5 percent, about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are thriving, many with sales rising at a rate of 15 percent per year. "This is our answer to globalization," says Paolo Satumini, the founder of Slow Cities.France is the favored proving ground for supporters of what might be called slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model : short hoursand long vacations. Yet the French are more productive on an hourly basis than counterparts in the United States and Britain, and have been for years.The mystery of French productivity has fueled a Europe-wide debate about the merits of working more slowly.56. The church clock that is a half hour slow serves as a symbol of___ _( A ) industrial development( B ) slow movement( C ) global economy( D ) city growth57. In Bra, local specialty businesses__( A ) are not open on Thursdays and Sundays( B ) are not allowed in the town square( C ) enjoy low-rate loans from the bank( D ) enjoy priority in business sites58. The low unemployment in Bra is mentioned to prove that__( A ) unemployment is in proportion to population( B ) a good concept works well in its birthplace( C ) the Slow City movement is successful in Bra( D ) tourism brings great job opportunities59. It can be inferred from the passage that__( A ) British workers work longer hours than the French( B ) French workers work longer hours than the Italians( C ) Italian workers are less productive than the Americans( D ) American workers are more productive than the British60. The increased French productivity tends to__( A ) throw doubt on slow economics( B ) confirm merits of slow economics( C ) favor an accelerating pace of life( D ) encourage a slow economic growthPart BDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the importance of doing exercise. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of eachperson to one qf the statements ( A to G)given below. Mark your answers onANSWER SHEET 1.Kenneth Cole:I take pride that our company is one of the leading leather goods manufacturers in the world. We study the consumers' needs carefully and appeal to them in various ways--through wholesale, retail, footwear, leather goods and other related accessories. For me, the ability to relate to the consumer through all these vehicles is very inspiring, and doing business around the world makes it even more exciting.Anita Roddick:Every time I walk by one of my shops and see what an educational role my company plays in a community, it sends chills down my spine. What we do brilliantly is using our facilities in the street and shopping malls to talk about real human issues like AIDS, recycling and community service or to encourage people to speak out against anything they perceive to be unjust. The pride that our shops bring to the staff and local residents motivates me.Sheri Poe:Since l started this company seven years ago, I always dreamt of what it would be some day. Focusing on that vision helps me get through the tough times and find it great fun to meet all the challenges. Also, I think it' s really important that the people you' re working with are as committed to the same vision as you are, so you can support each other and keep each other motivated.Frank Token:One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, "I hate makeup, but I love your company. " That's what motivates me. Even people who don't wear makeup may like our company and our ways of doing business. We work from an inverted pyramid, where the customers are always at the top. They give me the energy to move on. If I had stayed in this business just for the money, I would have de-motivated and closed down years ago.Jerry Greenfield:I'm inspired by doing things that are not normal and that most people think don't make sense. Once 1' m struck with a brilliant idea, I' 11 stick to it and work hard until the dream becomes true. In short, creating something from nothing; discovering innovative ways of doing things give me much pleasure. I' m also inspired by the people I work with. I' m very relationship driven, which is different from most entrepreneurs.Now match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note :there are two extra statements.Statements61. Kenneth Cole62. Anita Roddick63. Sheri Poe64. Frank Token65. Jerry Greenfield (A) We try to satisfy different needs of the consumers.(B) We have a highly efficient team of market researchers.(C) Originality and cooperation with others help me move on.(D) Our shops' strong sense of social responsibility really motivates me.(E) Our customers inspire and motivate me more than anything else.(F) I pursue a goal with determination and dedication.(G) We persist in developing new products.SECTION IV Writing( 40 minutes) Directions: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66．Suppose you are the secretary of the manager of a company．Now You are asked to informby efnail all personnel in your company of the dinner party to be held on Christmas Eve Your email should include the following information：date and place of tile party，who(maybe someone important)is coming to the party，and some interesting activitiesoYou should write approximately l00 words。

2007年3月公共英语考试三级模拟试题一及答案(3)

2007年3月公共英语考试三级模拟试题一及答案(3)Text 3Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope（摸索） in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck （受到严重伤害的人）and a bitter person.56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential57. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ .A. much competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experienceC. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance58. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?A. Your job must suit your interest.B. Your job must set a pattern of life.C. Your job must offer you a high salary.D. Your job must not ruin your talents.59.The best title for this passage would be ____.A. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A LivingC. Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD. How To Choose A Job60. The word "pathetic"in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ .A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touchingPart BDirections:The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers' Union on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For question 61-65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That's all. It's pity so many people haveto be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown:It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.Mr. Bob Davis:Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don't we all?Mr. Baker:My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody 's forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut then.Miss Slater:Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things.Now match each of the persons （61 to 65） to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Mr. Mike Smith62. Mr. Tom Brown63.Mr. Bob David64.Mrs. baker65. Miss Slater[A] A % increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason.[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability.[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker's demands.[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.[F] I must take you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.Section Ⅳ Writing （40 minutes）You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2。

In one 26 there are as many different kinds of English as there are speakers of it. 27 two speakers speak in exactly the same 28 . We can always hear differences 29 them, and the pronunciation of English 30 a great deal in different geographical 31 . How do we decide what sort of English to use as a 32?

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy48. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly49. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B50. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have topay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader’s concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap53. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people ’s attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use itText 3Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, notknowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living .

They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck (受到严重伤害的人)and a bitter person.56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential57.

The word “pathetic”in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ .A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touchingPart BDirections:The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers’Union on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For question 61-65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn’t an easy decision, but we’ve been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We’re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That’s all. It’s pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don’t blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown:It’s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we’re trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that’s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.Mr. Bob Davis:Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn’t be allowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don’t we all?Mr. Baker:My opinion is “Get the Army in”. All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That’s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don’t like their jobs, nobody ‘s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they’d keep their mouths shut then.Miss Slater:Let’s face it. It’s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can’t do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers’money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is “too much”? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It’s just one of those things.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Mr. Mike Smith62. Mr. Tom Brown63.Mr. Bob David64.Mrs. baker65. Miss Slater[A] A % increase is already too much, and I’m here to persuade the Union to see reason.[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation’s security and stability.[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker’s demands.[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.[F] I must take you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.Section ⅣWriting (40 minutes)You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.
