以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的公共英语等级考试三级阅读试题及答案,希望能给大家带来帮助!Every year for more than a decade I've gone with some good male friends to the music festi- val. Women are not invited, but they do prepare a picnic for our trip. The better the food, the more likely we are to continue our annual tradition and give them peace at least one week out of the year.When we're not eating, we sit around in circles and talk about manly stuff: women, mostly.After years of this special journey I have figured out women are different from us, especially when it comes to how we communicate. Women don't need to manufacture reasons to chat, but guys need excuses like outings or organized events.And I've noticed that when women are in groups there can be several conversations going on at once. When men are in a group, one man talks, and everybody else listens. It's like bluegrass jamming in a way; one musician plays the lead, and the rest try to follow.I've had more heartfelt conversations with other men at the festival than I've had at any other time in my life, partly because there are no women there, and partly because we're all a little drunk. It was males bonding over whatever parts we still had left. The festival is also the only place I've ever cried in front of other men.As the years have slipped by, some in our group have lost parents and grandparents, some have divorced, and others havechanged careers, not always on purpose. It seems that every year something distressing has happened to at least one member of our crew, and the rest of us are there to listen and offer support.I hope that this column can offer some comfort to women: if your man heads out on a bowling or poker night with the guys, be happy. Chances are good he's not fleeing you and the kids, but he's running toward the conversations he can only have with other men, and he'll come home the better for it.51. It is implied in the first paragraph thatA. the trip is a relief for both men and women________B. the trip will continue in spite of everythingC. the quality of the picnic needs improvementD. the women can rarely get peace themselves52. Men and women differ in the way they talk in that________A. men like to play the lead in conversationsB. women can strike up a talk for any reasonC. men can be engaged in several talks at onceD. women are good listeners in conversations53. That the author cried in front of other men reveals________A. the effect of bluegrass music upon menB. the effect of alcohol on men's behaviorsC. men's need to release their deep emotionsD. men's need to cultivate intimate friendship54. What is the idea that the author wants to convey in paragraph 5 ?A. Life is doomed to be full of distresses.B. Changes are the constant theme of life.C. Friendship stays despite changes in life.D. Life consists of sweating and harvesting.55. In the last paragraph, the author advises womento________A. encourage their husbands to improve their life styleB. encourage their husbands to go bowling or play pokerC. give their husbands chances to flee from houseworkD. give their husbands chances for male communication参考译文近十几年来,每年我都会和一些男性好友去参加音乐节。

公共英语PETS三级阅读与翻译试题训练三3.We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person’s knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to device anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. 我们可能对学科的每个领域所取得的进步感到大为惊异,然而测试一个人的知识和能力的方法依然原始如初。

确实是令人吃惊,这么多年以后,教育家们还没有找到比考试更为有效和可靠的手段。

For all the pious claim that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person’s true ability and aptitude.考试就是测验你知道什么,对于所有这些虔诚的说法,普遍认为往往适得其反。

考试可能是检验记忆力,或者在极度紧张的情况下发现快速工作窍门的好方法。

但是它不能告诉你一个人的真正能力和智能究竟怎样。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hire d. 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 correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a life- time of security if I stuck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s of- rice. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk." I be.- gan 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. " "T o 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 en-gaged in the change. "I’ m glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came froma 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 con- cluded. "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. Aftera 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.

When the writer decided to resign, the Globe was facedwith[ A ] a trouble, with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ] an uncontrollable business situation50.

Seven hours is about the average amount, 38 strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache 39 of making you feel more refreshed.Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important.

And in different countries it has different meanings. Butwhen British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family"in itsnarrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own houseas an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in-dependentstarting one’s own life. The man’s first duty willthen be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibilityand their alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts oruncles, have any right to interfere with them-they are their own masters.Readers of novels likeJane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the "parents' duty tofind a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement tolead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected andmaintainedin the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in theirgiving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before theirmarriage. This has had two results. A girlthing for all of thegirls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate(部下,下级) oftheir parents and husbands.What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"?A.Different families have different ways of life.B.Different definitions could be given to the word.C.Different nations have different families.D.Different times produce different families.47、For an English family, the husband’s duty is________A.supporting the family while the wife is working outB.defending the family while the wife is running the homeC.providing financial support while the wife is running the homeD.independent while his wife is also independent48、Everything is decided in a family________A.by the coupleB.with the help of their parentsC.by brothers and sistersD.with the help of aunts and uncles49、What is TRUE conceming the book Pride and Prejudice?A.It is the best book on marriage.B.It is a handbook on marriage.C.It gives some idea of English social life in the past.D.It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.50、With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in________A.the right familyB.more parental supportC.choosing husbandsD.social position51、根据资料,回答51-65题:You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.What if you say it first and your partner doesn' t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don't feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn' t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?"A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal. " All relationships go through power struggles but, he says ,if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of ' I' ve always loved you more' may be subverted(颠覆,破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels"The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ' I love you' first may also be the one who says ' I' m bored with you' first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it."Is it said when they' re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is ' Please don' t be unfaithful to me' ? By saying I love you' ,they really say' Do you love me?' If so, wouldn' t it just be more honest to say that?" Collins agrees that intention iseverything."It' s not what is said, but how it' s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. "What is the main idea of this passage?A.The importance of "I love you"B.The meaning of "I love you"C.The time of saying "I love you"D.The place of saying "I love you"52、In the first sentence the author means that__________.A.it is easy to say "I love you"B.it is hard to say "I love you"C.we have many troubles in our lifeD.people usually do not know when to say "I love you"53、According to the expert, a good relationship should be__________.A.fair and equalB.fair and kindC.powerful and equalD.confident and fair54、In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means__________.A.being low in spiritB.having only one handC.being activeD.being passive55、What is the most important for you to consider when somebody says "I love you" to you?A.The intention.B.The place.C.The time.D.The determination.56、根据材料,回答56-70题:Technology has been an encouragement of historical change. It acted as such a force in Eng-land beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth.Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods,which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes was that other forms of energy havetaken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufac-ture products in less time.People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: each nail wasexactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. Thismeans that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking productiondown into smaller and smaller tasks.Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. In-stead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workerscompleting their own parts in cer-tain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today’s standards. Highlyskilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production al-lowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand.But the skilled worker wasn’t the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forcedfarmers away. The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers fromploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidlydeveloping industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longerowned their own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer pos-sible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans atgreatly reduced cost.In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods?A.Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.B.The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.C.The increased use of machines to make products in less time.D.The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.57、The underlined word "this" in the first paragraph refers to ______A.the use of scientific findingsB.the practice of producing the same parts for a productC.the human power being replaced by other forms of energyD.the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change58、The underlined word "this" in the second paragraph refers to the change that ______A.each nail could be taken the place of by every other nailB.each nail was exactly like every other nailC.producing tasks became smaller and smallerD.goods could be mass produced59、According to the writer, highly skilled workers______pletely disappeared with the coming of the factory systemB.were dismissed by the bossC.were unable to produce goods of high standardD.were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines60、According to the passage, what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?A.Many of them had to leave their farmland for industrial centers.B.They stuck to their farm work.C.They refused to use machines.D.They did their best to leam how to use the machines.SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes)61、根据下列材料,请回答61-65题:Paula:The furore is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the fu-ture begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future-that the future is not somethingimposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future boththrough what we do and what we do not do.Mrs. John:The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict theirperformance from the strength of the brain’s electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that thestrength of the brain’s electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses couldmeasure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard,or too tired to do the job properly.Mary:In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart issaid to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical ge-latin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the ap-petite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin.Judy:In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play animportant part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen andvisual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results whichwill affect you if you act in a certain way.Carrie:In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Alsodoctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doingmore exercise as a means to keep fit.Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A]You build your own future.[B]Healthy lifestyle will be a more popular way to keep fit.[C]Computer will be an effective tool for doctors.[D]Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or over[E]Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance.[F]People will be able to visit doctors more frequently.[G]Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.Paula62、Mrs. John 63、Mary64、Judy65、Carrieweight.SECTION IV Writing Part A(40 minutes)66、You have read the following magazine advertisement in which an American girl is looking for pen-friends and you want to get in touch with her.Write a letter to her (Andy Lewis), telling her about:1 ) your family2) your schooling or work3) your hobbiesYou should write approximately 100 words.

It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feeling of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a childis left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters, others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality(道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parent's principles and their moral can be a dangerous disappointment.1. Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills ______.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things[答案]A【精析】第一段讲到了父母急切盼望孩子们掌握新技能的这种心情所带来的各种负面影响,B、C、D三项均是负面影响的内容,因此要尽量避免,所以只选一项的就选A.2. In the process of children's learning new skills parents ______.A. should encourage them to read before know the meaning of the words they readB. Should not expect too much of themC. Should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. Should create as many learning opportunities as possible[答案]C【精析】根据第一段中所提到的父母太急于盼望孩子们掌握新技能对孩子们产生的不良影响可以得出一个结论:父母应该在强迫孩子和给予他们自由之间保持平衡。

练习:The circumstances surrounding the birth of a female infant in Kosciusko, Mississippi, on Jan.29, 1954,were not promising present was the usual mix that had so often accumulated into a burden too heavy for a single-parent household like the one Oprah Winfrey grew up in. The state in which she was born had laws in place waiting to characterize her as unwelcome, to bar her participation in otherwise accebtable social activities, to shackle her to the residue of slavery and other injustices of the past. The simple truth is that her grandmother, her great-grandmother and all thegreat-great-grandmothers before them never experienced one day of life free from the harsh decrees of state-sponsored racial repression.In hindsight, it appears that her birth was an uneventful one. But at age three she was reciting speeches from church pulpits. Upon discovering books, the child delved into the written word, turning out weekly book reports for her father. Even during turbulent times, not a moment was wasted. Seeds were being planted, watered, and nurtured. On April 13, 1964, nearly an adolescent and watching television from the linoleum floor of her mother’s walk-up flat in something deep inside of her. She was watching the live broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony and saw a young African-American actor receiving the film industry’s highest honor. Sharing in that moment and all it implied she later told me, caused her to say softly to herself, “If he can do that, I wonder what I could do?”The ground had been set. The journey of Oprah Winfrey had begun. The babe, the child, the adolescent, the young woman-all their strengths were harnessed into a force of astonishing power that placed itself in the service of nature and the human family. That the world has changed in meaningful ways since 1954 is beyond question. Oprah and her activities were driving forces in many of those changes. Her enormously influential talk show, her philanthropic work with children in africa and elsewhere, her popular book club and magazine, her empowering spiritual message, her contribution (by action and example) to improving race relations-all speak to the human family, touching hearts and leaving each one uplifted.Mississippi too seems to be mellowing out into a more congenial place than it was in 1954. that may also be partly due to the very sbecial enerav that is Oprah Winfrey-a courageous, funny, compassionate, well-informed, dazzlingly curious person, as down-to-earth and loving as any human being I’ve ever known. 参考译文:故事的详情围绕在1954年六月29日出生于密西西比,科修斯科山的一个女婴。

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 the evening. 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 witha 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.1. 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.2. 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.3. 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 earlier4. 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 day5. 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.参考答案:1. D 第二段“The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening”。

In 2006, she started her own consulting practice, but by 2008, most of her larger clients had to drop her because of the economy. In 2011, she was undertaking irregular assignments and knew she needed a steady job. The first job she considered was Director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’ s culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’ s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same. “Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn’ t do that,” Isabel says. She called the recruiter to turn down the job and explained that she didn’ t feel there was a cultural fit. A few months later, she interviewed for another job: a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives: it was a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employee-friendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down. “It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night,” she says. In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’ t taking the jobs. “ In the past, it felt like dating, I was worried about hurting people’ s feelings,” she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.1.In 2011, Isabel_________.A.did consulting now and thenB.found a job close to her homeC.refused several job interviewsD.ran a successful consulting firm正确答案:A解析:推断题。

The expression most monly used to describe the type of program is "relationship banking." A good definition is provided in the 1985 book Marketing Financial Services:In relationship banking the emphasis is on establishing a long-term, multiple-service relationship; on satisfying the totality of the client's financial need; on minimizing the need or desire of clients to splinter their financial business among various institutions.Implicit within any definition of relationship banking is recognition that the financial-service requirements of one individual or relationship group. A suessful relationship-banking program is, therefore, independent individual in a large part on the development of a series of financial-service "package," each designed to meet the needs of identifiably homogeneous groups.Another dimension of relationship banking is the development of highly personalized relationships between employee and client. In most financial institutions today the client is serviced by any employee who happens to be free at the time, regardless of the nature of the transaction. personalized relationships are therefore difficult to establish. In a full relationship-banking program, however, the client knows there is one individual within the institution who has intimate knowledge of the client's requirements and preferences regarding plex transactions. over time, the client develops a high level of confidence in this employee. In short, a personalized relationship evolves between client and employee.1. With what subject is the passage mainly concerned?A. the decline of the financial-service industryB. variety within financial servicesC. a way making more personalD. increasing everyday banking transaction2.

Aording to the passage, what is a necessary first step in instituting relationship banking?A. resigning bank buildings.B. hiring congenial staff who make clients wele.C. recognizing the needs of groups and individuals.D. teaching bank employees to be more confident.1.

Jenise:I love peas and beans more than most people, so tofu is a natural choice for me. My Chinese friend Annabelle loves them too, and tells me that soy beans contain an ingredient not present in any other food source, or at least in that concentration, that helps prevent breast cancer. When we share a big bowl of these, we eat with abandon "for medicinal purposes11! I like it plain although there may be many different ways to prepare it and it may cure other diseases.Lee:In fact, I was probably preprogrammed to like it: as a kid one of my favorite books was Toru and the Tofu (hope F m remembering the title right), a story about a young Tokyo boy, named Toru, who was given the assignment, his first, of going to the neighborhood tofu maker1 s by himself and bringing back some fleshly made cubes for dinner. I can still recall Toru* s unique way of getting it home intact ( with a jar filled with water). It all seemed very strange to the five-year old me in semi-rural Southern California.Hoke:It's great in spicy Sichuan style soups, especially with fish, but I like it fried quickly to give a crisp exterior whilst retaining a moist, soft interior. Steaming is another option, with a pork and prawn mince ( with spring onion) on top of each cube. The thing that I love most is Jhe texture—really good tofu is just amazing in the mouth, poised as it is between solidity and fluidity. F m definitely a fan.Nyby:It's sort of weird to me. You go in to one of those "Mock Vegetarian” restaurants only to find everything o n the menu ”mock”・-mock chicken, mock beef, mock pork, etc. Now whatever you order, if s tofu molded into something that looks like that particular meat. I don't know about you, but if I1 m eating a vegetarian I don't need to go through a fantasy of pretending F m eating a veal cutlet or a pork chop or a chicken breast. Is this to delude someone, or distract them from thinking they are eating vegetarian food?Robin:Precisely because it is so "tasteless", I eat. it like a madman: I like the way it picks up the flavors of the dishes it' s served with. I can enjoy it in lots of different cuisine, in moderate quantities in relation to other ingredients in each dish. If you try them and tell me that you don't think they have much flavor, I' 11 have to disagree because that's not true of tofu. The flavor's mild and you can combine that with the hottest spices in the world, which for me illustrates its most endearing attribute. It does a reasonably good job of absorbing a great many flavors.Now match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note :there are two extra statements.Statements61.Jenise (A) Real or unreal, who knows?62.Lee (B) Don't deceive yourself and others: tofu is no meat.63.Hoke (C) Amazing texture, I enjoy tofu inside out.64.Nyby (D) I am constantly at war with tofu.65.Robin (E) Tofu hasn r t got a unique taste of its own, but it goes well with any food.(F)Eating tofu is a strong childhood memory.(G)Tofu is the best medicine.PartBJackson:Viewed from a scientist's standpoint, all of the energy contained in fuel either now or in the future becomes heat. Some of the heat is used directly or produces useful work. The rest is lost or rejected. That is to say, it is radiated into the atmosphere from the engines, motors, furnaces, power lines, television sets, boilers and all the other energy-consuming machinery that makes our wheels go around.Browning:It is necessary to improve the efficiency with, which we use energy in order to do more work. But improvement cannot come overnight, and there are limits beyond which not even science can help. According to the Center for Strategic and International studies, about three quarters of the energy we use to move things, including ourselves, accomplishes no useful work.Jeffrey:In terms of efficiency, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation may be using en-ergy more efficiently than private automobiles. Unless private automobiles can operate at near capacity, their overall efficiency is poor. For example, an urban bus carrying 36 passengers may achieve an efficiency of around 120 passcngcr-milcs per gallon of gasoline. But buses arc not al-ways fully loaded, and sometimes they carry no passengers at all.Vandenberg:It is true that buses can sometimes run without passengers. City trains seem to be very cffi-cicnt, but they suffer the same shortcomings as buses and cost more. Except for rush hours, com-muter trains seldom run at full capacity. This wastes even more energy and is more than the management can afford. As a result, commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people.Nathan:For some people, mass transportation may serve their needs. For others, a combination of mass transportation and private transportation may be preferable. Better design and wise use of both mass transportation systems and private vehicles will play an important part in helping us make full-er use of energy for transportation.Now match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note :there are two extra statements.Statements61. Jackson (A) City trains and buses have different faults to overcome.62. Browning (B ) The efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population.63. Jeffrey (C ) Public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.64. Vandenberg (D ) Private cars usually run at full capacity.65 - Nathan (E ) No fuel energy is fully used.(F) A combined means of transport can help increase energy efficiency.(G ) Problems of energy loss can never be completely solved.PartBMaguel de Icaza:Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete control of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is the foundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built.Austin Hill:Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors will emerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand.NgEde Phang:This will be the year that plain old text e mail sits up and starts talking - and talking a lot. The human voice is a powerful weapon. An e mail doesn't tell me whether youre happy, sad or excited, whereas Internet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e mail just cannotmatch.Murray Goldman:For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry on a trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing devices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities.Christine Karman:Well see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and information. Venture capitalists arc shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don't have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I'd go to California or Boston.Now match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note :there are two extra statements.Statements61 . Maguel de Icaza (A) Business travelers will set the trend of future computer market.62. Austin Hill (B) Europe will catch up with America in the hi-tech industry.63. Ng Ede Phang (C) Privacy needs special protection in the information age.64. Murray Goldman (D) Voice e-mail adds a human touch to online communication.65. Christine Karman (E)Compactness and multi function will be a trend in the futuremarket.(F)Free software helps bring about digital equality.(G)The digital divide between Europe and the US may widen.Part BPeter:My favorite childhood play area was the back garden. Back in the days when I was growing up on a large housing estate, the 'goals' would be a pair of garage doors or two jackets laid out in the garden. I would spend hours kicking a ball about with my dad, learning how to control, dribble or kick it.Simon:The playground was quite small. The floor was covered with flat bricks and there were many that were cracked or broken or missing, and a few weeds struggled through. It was totally enclosed on one side by the school and on the other by high brick walls. It was more like a prison yard on top of the walls was a layer of concrete into which pieces of broken glass had been stuck. After school was finished my friends and I would climb a lamppost outside the school and sit on top of the wall, slowly breaking off the bits of glass.Alan:I come from an area of terraced houses, pavements and streets. There were no gardens. My first school was Prince's Street Primary and the room in which I received my first lessons had large, folding glass doors that opened onto a small playground that had grass, bushes and flowers, my amazement at seeing these items, which arc normal to most of the world, has stayed with me all my life.Nick:I was strictly forbidden from the obvious playground a long, overgrown ditch running through waste ground, mainly built to take away the rain. It was irresistible to us local schoolchildren. Its charm, compared with the surrounding tennis courts, football pitches and farmland, was purely because it was out of bounds. That area was truly where I grew up, more than in the rest of the little town's correct and neat suburbia, where my house was.Julie:Until I was twelve I was brought up on airforce camps and each camp had a small playground in the middle of the houses. It was always a great meeting place and I remember sitting with my friends on the swings many evenings until dark. You would often go out and swing for hours until someone else came out. I always liked swinging.Now match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note :there are tyvo extra statements.Statements61.Peter (A)I developed sporting skills there.62.Simon (B)I never went straight home from school.63.Alan (C)I enjoyed the feeling of flying.64.Nick (D)My play area was just outside my classroom.65.Julie (E)I enjoyed both being alone and with friends.(F)I played in a place dangerous in others'eyes-(G)Thcrc were some playground equipment around my play area.AFDGC。
