And then Jack was certain that nobody was sleeping under it when he got into bed. 2 The answer is open-ended. For example, you might have the fear of darkness, the fear of heights, the fear of snakes or spiders, the fear of flying, etc. Some suggestions on how to overcome fears are listed below for reference. First, you analyzed your fear and had a clear picture of what your fear was. Then you took control of your fear. You decided to expose yourself to that fear in small doses doses until until until you you you gained gained gained a a a better better better understanding understanding understanding of of of it. it. it.

You started seeing fear as a source of energy and embraced its role in your life. Scripts: Jack went to a doctor. “Doctor,” he said, “I’ve got trouble. Every time I lie in bed, I think there’s somebody under it. I get under the bed; then I think there’s somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You’ve got to help me! It almost drives me mad!”“Just put yourself in my hands for two years,” said the doctor. “Come to me three times a week, and I’ll cure your fears.”“How much do you charge?”“A hundred dollars a visit.”“I’ll think about it,” said Jack.Six months later the doctor met Jack by chance. “Why didn’t you ever come to see me again?” asked the doctor.“For a hundred bucks a visit? A carpenter cured me for 10 dollars.”“Is that so? How?”“He told me to cut the legs off the bed!”Reading comprehension Understanding the text 1 1 Because when he once hopped from the highest diving board at the pool, he hit the water with an incredible impact and blacked out. 2 No, t hey couldn’t. Because with the water’s tow, they’dthey couldn’t. Because with the water’s tow, they’d never get to the drowning boy. 3 Because nobody except Jason saw that going out onto the jetty, which was close to the boy, was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy. 4 Because his fear of water suddenly struck him. 5 He felt like he was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified. 6 The boy popped back up, eyes wide with terror, pawing and twisting against Jason. 7 No, it wasn’t. At first when Jason swam against the rip current, it was for cibly dragging them out to the sea. Then he decided to swim sideways to the pull of the current and slowly made their way back to shore. Finally he made his way back to safety. 8 8 Because Because Because Jason Jason Jason had had had already already already conquered conquered conquered his his his inner inner inner fear fear fear of of of water water water and and and he he he also also also felt felt felt relieved relieved relieved and and delighted when he saw the boy was hugged tightly by his mother. Critical thinking 2 1 To overcome the inner fear of water, we need to: • conquer ourselves with courage by helping others, step up and face our fear; • practice controlled breathing and alternately tense and relax muscle groups to bring into physical awareness the differences between being tense and being relaxed; • make the victim stop struggling. In this way he / she can be pulled to safety. 2 The fears may come from: • our own past experience; • ther people’s fears we witness;• someone’s description about their fears;• influence of specific cultural and historical context. 3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how to approach the situation with confidence: • Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there. Explain to him that asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate, as it will show her how serious he is. However, if he thinks that is too daring, then suggest sending her a text message or calling her on the phone. • encourage the guy to be assertive and not beat around the bush. Confidence is admirable, and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man with confidence. If he is asking the girl in person, he should speak as though he knew she would say yes. Tell him not to hesitate and to get straight to the point. • suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a date. If he is unsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this is a great opportunity for him to learn more about her and show her that he cares about her. 4 Obsessive fear leads to anxiety, panic attacks and a variety of psychological problems. We all know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by fea r, but fear, as it turns out, is a fundamental part of our lives, and has some positive effects on our lives: • Fear increases and enhances our sensory awareness of the environment, so that we can be prepared to protect ourselves from anything potentially threatening or harmful. • Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get ready for the future. It isn’t there to stop us; it’s there to tell us that we are about to grow.• Fear pushes us beyond our limits. Fear motivates us. It drives us to find new resources and options within ourselves. Fear compels us to make extra efforts to succeed and achieve what we desire. • Fear Fear is is is necessary necessary necessary in in in developing developing developing our our our courage. courage. courage.

He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the car’s side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot then jumped out of the car, grabbed the where the brick had been thrown. The angry executive nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?”The young boy was apologetic. “Please mister ... please, I’m sorry ... I didn’t know what else to do,” he pleaded. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop ...”With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the curb and fell out of the wheelchair, and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?

Reading Comprehension (40 points)Directions: Read the following passage(s); carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.(10 points)Text 1Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion（拥挤）. One proposed solution to this problem is the autom ated highwaysystem.When the auto enters the highway system, retractable（可伸缩的）arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. (285 words)21. One significant improvem ent in the future car will probably be ________.A) its power source B) its driving systemC) its monitoring system D) its seating capacity22. What is the author's main concern?A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D) How to develop an automated subway system.23. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A) A rail. B) An engine.C) A retractable arm. D) A computer controller.24. In an autom ated highway system, all the driver needs to do is ________.A) keep in the right laneB) wait to arrive at his destinationC) keep in constant touch with the computer centerD) inform the system of his destination by phone25. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A) Enthusiastic. B) Pessimistic. C) Optimistic. D) Cautious.Text 2What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at someschool subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to rem ember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. (303 words)26. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A) The importance of doing well at school.B) Using school performance to help to choose a career.C) The importance of being good at all subjects.D) The indirect value of schoolwork.27. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ______.A) a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB) useful for his future workC) a good way to earn extra moneyD) a good way to find out his weak points28. According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ______.A) will be a complete failure in his future workB) will not be able to find a suitable jobC) will regret not having worked harder at schoolD) may do well in his future work29. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for jot hunting?A) Mathematics. B) English. C) Technical Drawing. D) History.30. The whole passage centers on ______.A) choosing a career according to what one is skilled inB) acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC) finding one's strong and weak pointsD) developing one's abilities useful in school workText 3As a Canadian bilingual (双语的) teacher, I agree that the Canadian bilingual schools have been successful in producing functionally bilingual students. However, Mr. Whelpton's suggested condition that teachers in these schools must be fully bilingual may be unnecessary. For example, primary teachers can and do function with a smaller vocabulary than secondary teachers.Secondly, it is doubtful that students will use English because the y "understand and accept the objective of making English the language of the classroom" which is a rather sterile motive. One reason that Canadian bilingual programs work is because of the commitment to Whole Language Learning, that is, children learn a language, (first or second), by using it to transmit (播送) or receive meaningful messages that are interesting, real and important. They want to make their needs and desires known and to understand the world around them. Bilingual programs integrate language and content in an activity-based, child-centred manner so that the child is motivated to use the second language as a tool to transmit and receive messages related to social and academic interests.Mr. Whelpton's third argument that all the students in one class need to be at approximately the same level of English proficiency (熟练) when they switch to English is unrealistic and unprofitable. How does a teacher group children who have a huge vocabulary but poor grammar skills and others who have correct grammar but a poor vocabulary? Also, suppose the students have similar language abilities but different learning styles! Hence the concept of co-operative learning: students with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses (a more realistic reflection of life) learn better as they co-operate (合作), instead of compete, and depend on each other for support and information. (280 words)31. How would you describe the writer's style?A) The passage is written in an academic style.B) The passage is written in a journalistic style.C) The passage is written in a personal style.D) The passage is written on the basis of widespread research in the areA)32. How would you describe the writer's attitude towards the Canadian bilingual programmes?A) Balanced. B) Unenthusiastic. C) Supportive. D) Critical.33. In paragraph 1 the writer ________.A) agrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentB) agrees partially with Mr. Whelpton's argumentC) disagrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentD) is overwhelmingly critical of Mr. Whelpton's argument34. In paragraph 2 "sterile" is closest in meaning to________.A) uninformative B) unusual C) stereotypical D) uninspiring35. According to the writer the Canadian bilingual programs have been a success ________.A) because students accept the objective of making English the language of the classroomB) because students study in classrooms where everybody is at about the sam e levelC) because the students can use their first language freelyD) because they work towards real life goalsText 4If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired rented at the lowest possible cost much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of hum an resource managem ent is central usually the second most important, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy.While American firms often have the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact, they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do).the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipm ent is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff theprocesses that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.36. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?A) They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.B) They see the gaining of skills as their employees’ own bu siness.C) They attach more importance to workers than to equipment.D) They only hired skilled workers because of keen competition.37. What is the position of the head of human resource managem ent?A) He is one of the most important executives in the firm.B) His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.C) He is directly under the chief financial executive.D) He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.38. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to________.A) workers who can operate new equipmentB) technological and managerial staffC) workers who lack basic ground skillsD) top executives39. What's the main idea of the passage?A) American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.B) Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human resource management.C) The head of human resource management must be in the central position in a firm's hierarchy.D) The human resource management strategies of American firms will affect their competitive capacity.40. According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is ___________.A) the introduction of new technologiesB) the improvem ent of workers' skillsC) the rational composition of professional and managerial employeesD) the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employeesIII.

Both the eye and thecamera have a lens, and both produce a picture on a screen. In each case the picture is made up of millions of spots of light.Let us see how the eye works. When we look at an object — a person, a house, or whatever it may be — we do not see all the details of the object in one piece. We imagine that we do, but this is not the case. In fact, the eye builds up the picture for us in our brain, which controls our sight, in millions of separate parts, and, although we do not realize it, all these details are seen separately.This is what happens when we look at something. Beams of light of different degrees of intensity, reflected from all parts of the objects, strike the lens of the eye. The lens then gathers together the spots of light from these beams and focuses them on to a light-sensitive plate — the retina — at the back of the eyeball. In this way an image of the object is produced on the retina in the form of a pattern of lights.The retina contains millions of minute light-sensitive elements, each of which is separately connected to the brain by a tiny fiber in the optic nerve. These nerve fibers, working independently, pick out minute details from the image on the retina and turn the small spots of light into nerve impulses of different strengths. They then transmit these impulses to the brain. They do this all at the same time.All the details of the image are fed to the brain, and, as we taught our brain to add them together correctly, we see a clear picture of the object as a whole.Television, which means vision at a distance, operates on a similar principle. A television picture is built up in thousands of separate parts.Beams of light reflected from the subject being televised strike the lens of the television camera, which corresponds to the lens of the eye. The camera lens gathers together the spots of light from these beams and focuses an image of the subject on to a place, the surface of which is coated with millions of photo-electric elements sensitive to light.The spots of light forming the image on the plate cannot be transmitted as light. So they are temporarily converted by an electronic device into millions of electrical impulses; that is, into charges of electricity.These electrical impulses are then sent through space on a wireless wave to the homes of the viewers. They are picked up by the aerials and conveyed to theIII. Reading Comprehension （30%）receivers — to the television sets. There, they are finally converted back into the spots of light that make up the picture on the television screen.41. In the first paragraph we are told that the television camera resembles thehuman eye in ________________.A. one wayB. two waysC. three waysD. a large number of ways42. The retina is _______________.A. a lensB. a beam of lightC. a part of the brainD. a light-sensitive plate43. The nerve fibers connecting these light-sensitive elements to the brain________________.A. all work togetherB. help each otherC. work independentlyD. work in small groups44. A camera lens focuses an image on to _______________.A. the subjectB. a surface made up of millions of light-sensitive elementsC. a television setD. millions of photo-electric beams of light45. The spots of light forming the image on the plate in a television camera areconverted into _____________.A. electricityB. picturesC. an electronic deviceD. a wirelessPassage twoAt sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,”he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen with-out.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished his sandwich, the woman had taken him for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quite times, Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.46. Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen?A. His father made him leave.B. He had reached the age when he had to leave.C. He left because he was worried about the future.D. He left because he wanted to start work.47. What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school?A. He thought his son was doing the right thing.B. He advised him to stay at school to complete his education.C. He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.D. He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.48. It took about a year for Ron to realize that _____________.A. he worked well because he was interested in the job.B. his work at the supermarket was dull.C. being at work was much better than going to school.D. the stone manager wanted to get rid of him.49. Why did Ron leave the supermarket?A. He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.B. he took a job as a lorry driver.C. he gave up the job because he felt unwell.D. he wanted to work at the seaside.50. Ron was able to take over the shoe shop because _____________.A. he got on well with the manager there.B. he knew how to keep the accounts of the business.C. he had had experience of selling books.D. he was young and strong.Passage threeA strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything derived from animals. The main objection to vegetarianism（素食主义）on a long-term basis is the difficulty of getting enough protein—the body-building element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days of weeks (say, for religious reasons) you will have notice that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast（禁食）is over and you get your reward of a delicious meat meal.Proteins are built up from about twenty food elements called “amino-acid” (氨基酸), which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino-acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological（生理学的）point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism.The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food. However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams (克) of protein a day, has to consume a great bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day.51. A strict vegetarian _________________.A. rarely eats animal productsB. sometimes eats eggsC. never eats any animal productsD. never eats protein52. We feel weak when we go without meat and other animal products_________________.A. because we are reducing our food amountB. because we do not get enough proteinC. because vegetables do not contain proteinD. unless we take plenty of exercise53. Proteins are built up from _________________.A. about twenty different foodsB. about twenty different vegetablesC. various fats and sugarsD. about twenty different amino-acids54. Physiologically, life-long vegetarianism may not be good because_________________.A. it makes people very thinB. the body must process too much wasteC. the farmer lose moneyD. vitamin-deficiency diseases may result55. One thing in favor of vegetarianism is that __________________.A. vegetable food is easier to digestB. animal food is less expensiveC. vegetable food is cheaperD. it is good for the digestionPassage fourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while quite young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles — styles which were at first scorned by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third row. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage, took it from its support, stroked it, pressed it to his lips.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life. Crosby’s music was soothing; Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbances they could handle in their private lives; they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admirers always said how “relaxed” he was, how “natural and easygoing.” When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of troubled times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was not soothing, and who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley was loud, gaudy, and vulgar— and he was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing. Crosby’s songs were saying something; their “message” was as important to the audience as the music. The words were often sweet and sentimental; ordinary, perhaps, but Crosby — and Frank Sinatra after him — gave them life and meaning. People remembered them, sang them, and thought of them as true to life. Although many of Presley’s songs were, in fact, quite sentimental too, it was mostly the song that moved the audiences. Rock’n’roll was a “sound” event. Songs stopped being songs and turned into noise.The Crosby generation has trouble with r ock’n’roll because it makes the mistake of trying to understand the words. The Presley generation has trouble with Crosby because it finds the music unexciting and the words empty. The mutuallack of understanding may be a sign of how far we have come from troubled times, and how deeply we now distrust the value of words.56. Crosby and Presley’s music was ___________________.A. criticized and then recognized as innovativeB. appreciated by the critics immediatelyC. praised by the critics and then studiedD. developed by the critics57. The difference between the two men ______________ the changing values inAmerican life.A. ruinsB. disturbsC. soothesD. mirrors58. Presley’s admirers found Crosby’s work _________________.A. boringB. easy-goingC. too relaxedD. natural59. “Rock’n’roll was a ‘sound’event” means r ock’n’roll was ____________.A. musicalB. movingC. noisyD. sentimental60. This passage is chiefly about ___________________.A. the troubled times that Crosby and Presley lived inB. the contrast between Presley’s and Crosby’s music and their audiencesC. wartime AmericaD. noisy r ock’n’roll新视野大学英语三级期末考试试卷(A) 考生注意：本试卷满分100分，考试时间120分钟 （试卷二）Directions : Translate the following English into Chinese, or Chinese into English. 61.

新视野试卷三级试卷及答案
Text 1Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a dayin the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urbantravel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should becomesmaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. Thecar of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urbantraffic congestion（拥挤）. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highwaysystem.When the auto enters the highway system, retractable（可伸缩的）arm will drop from the autoand make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically.Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, andcontrol of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of thecar's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. Thecomputer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correctexit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be ableto handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can becarried by a present-day highway. (285 words)21. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.A) its power source B) its driving systemC) its monitoring system D) its seating capacity22. What is the author's main concern?A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D) How to develop an automated subway system.23. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A) A rail. B) An engine.C) A retractable arm. D) A computer controller.24. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is ________.A) keep in the right laneB) wait to arrive at his destinationC) keep in constant touch with the computer centerD) inform the system of his destination by phone25. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A) Enthusiastic. B) Pessimistic. C) Optimistic. D) Cautious.Text 2What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at someschool subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boywho is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any speciallystrong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although notall subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of historyis not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learnedto remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructionsand to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, forexample. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career yousee from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when youhandle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitterto face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance,may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not beapologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.(303 words)26. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A) The importance of doing well at school.B) Using school performance to help to choose a career.C) The importance of being good at all subjects.D) The indirect value of schoolwork.27. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ______.A) a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB) useful for his future workC) a good way to earn extra moneyD) a good way to find out his weak points28. According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ______.A) will be a complete failure in his future workB) will not be able to find a suitable jobC) will regret not having worked harder at schoolD) may do well in his future work29. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for jot hunting?A) Mathematics. B) English. C) Technical Drawing. D) History.30. The whole passage centers on ______.A) choosing a career according to what one is skilled inB) acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC) finding one's strong and weak pointsD) developing one's abilities useful in school workText 3As a Canadian bilingual (双语的) teacher, I agree that the Canadian bilingual schools havebeen successful in producing functionally bilingual students. However, Mr. Whelpton's suggested condition that teachers in these schools must be fully bilingual may be unnecessary. For example, primary teachers can and do function with a smaller vocabularythan secondary teachers.Secondly, it is doubtful that students will use English because they "understand and acceptthe objective of making English the language of the classroom" which is a rather sterile motive. One reason that Canadian bilingual programs work is because of the commitment toWhole Language Learning, that is, children learn a language, (first or second), by using it totransmit (播送) or receive meaningful messages that are interesting, real and important. Theywant to make their needs and desires known and to understand the world around them.Bilingual programs integrate language and content in an activity-based, child-centred manner so that the child is motivated to use the second language as a tool to transmit andreceive messages related to social and academic interests.Mr. Whelpton's third argument that all the students in one class need to be at approximatelythe same level of English proficiency (熟练) when they switch to English is unrealistic and unprofitable. How does a teacher group children who have a huge vocabulary but poor grammar skills and others who have correct grammar but a poor vocabulary? Also, supposethe students have similar language abilities but different learning styles! Hence the conceptof co-operative learning: students with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses (amore realistic reflection of life) learn better as they co-operate (合作), instead of compete,and depend on each other for support and information.

How would you describe the writer's style?A) The passage is written in an academic style.B) The passage is written in a journalistic style.C) The passage is written in a personal style.D) The passage is written on the basis of widespread research in the areA)32. How would you describe the writer's attitude towards the Canadian bilingual programmes?A) Balanced. B) Unenthusiastic. C) Supportive. D) Critical.33. In paragraph 1 the writer ________.A) agrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentB) agrees partially with Mr. Whelpton's argumentC) disagrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentD) is overwhelmingly critical of Mr. Whelpton's argument34. In paragraph 2 "sterile" is closest in meaning to________.A) uninformative B) unusual C) stereotypical D) uninspiring35. According to the writer the Canadian bilingual programs have been a success ________.A) because students accept the objective of making English the language of the classroomB) because students study in classrooms where everybody is at about the same levelC) because the students can use their first language freelyD) because they work towards real life goalsText 4If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitivesurvival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired rented at the lowestpossible cost much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second incommand. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, offat the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on majorstrategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way ofcontrast, in Japan the head of human resource management is central usually the secondmost important, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy.While American firms often have the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact,they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. Themoney they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also muchmore narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on thebasic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturingstations than workers in Germany (as they do).the effective cost of those stations is lower inGermany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up andrunning at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is aslower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go withthese processes will disappear.36. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?A) They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.ss.B) They see the gaining of skills as their employees’ own busineC) They attach more importance to workers than to equipment.D) They only hired skilled workers because of keen competition.37. What is the position of the head of human resource management?A) He is one of the most important executives in the firm.B) His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.C) He is directly under the chief financial executive.D) He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.38. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to________.A) workers who can operate new equipmentB) technological and managerial staffC) workers who lack basic ground skillsD) top executives39. What's the main idea of the passage?A) American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.B) Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human resource management.C) The head of human resource management must be in the central position in a firm's hierarchy.D) The human resource management strategies of American firms will affect their competitive capacity.40. According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is ___________.A) the introduction of new technologiesB) the improvement of workers' skillsC) the rational composition of professional and managerial employeesD) the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employeesIII.

Finally her husband said, “Choose me or the computer.” She divorced him.Psychologist Kimberly Young, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh?s Bradford campus, found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spends anaverage of 40 hours a week on the Internet.Of 396 people who met Young?s criteria （标准）for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29; the women average 43 years of age.The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside the home; that is, homemakers, students and those who were disabled or retired.In a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in Toronto, 82 percent of the addicted users said that they had slowly drifted into their addictions.（278 words ）36.

A. those who are busy with their work.B. those who are not employedC. those who want to escape from their boring lifeD. those who want to make friends40. The writer ?s attitude towards surfing the Internet is.A. appreciativeB. satiric （讽刺的）C. criticalD. solemnPassage 2In the summer of 1978 an English farmer named Ian Stevens was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat waslying flat on the ground. The flattened （被压平的）wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. In the following years more and more similar circles were found in a field of wheat or corn. So people cannot help but ask the question: What causes the circles?At first, people suspected that the circles were a trick. To prove that the circles were a trick, people tried to copy them: they tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn't do it. They couldn't enter a field of grain without leaving tracks,and they couldn't flatten the grain without breaking it. The circles are apparently not a trick.Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles. Some think that the beings are trying to communicate with us from far away and that the circles are messages from them. Others believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and that the circles are marks left by their spaceships. Several times people reported seeing strange flying objects near fields where circles later appeared.Scientists say they're not sure what causes them. They have suggested several theories. For example, some scientists say that "microbursts" of wind created the circles. A microburst is a downward rush of cool air —the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. But circles often appear in forms. It is hard to believe that any natural force could create those forms. And recently farmers have discovered not only circles but also other shapes such as triangles in their fields. Could any natural force created a perfect triangle in a field of grain?In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment. This equipment —worth 1.8 million dollars —recorded nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, circles formed in the field behind them. These circles are shown in the photograph. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything. (402 words)41. What causes the circles?A. Teenagers.B. Farmers.C. Flying objects.D. None of the above.42. The thing that proves that the circles were not a trick is that ________.A. two men said they made the circles themselvesB. farmers were making the circles to attract touristsC. people cannot copy the circles without leaving marks or breaking the grainD. scientists suggest theories that support the idea that circles were made bynatural forces43.

A proper title for this passage is ________.A. An Unsolved MysteryB. Strange Flying ObjectsC. The Power of Natural ForcesD. The Discovery of Strange CirclesPassage 3Accidents are caused; they don?t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with（和…人争执）themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the ideawhich used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused a majority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness of thoughtlessness.It is not always, clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.46. This passage might be taken from _____________.A. a text bookB. a science fictionC. a popular magazineD. an annual report of a company47. The writer indicates that ___________.A. British people are often absent-minded.B. doctors should work in factories to avoid accidents.C. drivers are the only factor leading to road accidents.D. there are always some people who fail to observe regulations.48. Which of the following is not mentioned as a factor of accidents?A. anxietyB. tirednessC. bad weatherD. carelessness49. “Accident-prone”(Para.2) probably means “___________.”A. liable to have accidentsB. likely to be killed in accidentsC. responsible for road accidentsD. possible to avoid accidents50. Which of the following could serve as the best title for this passage?A. Causes of AccidentsB. Prevention of AccidentsC. Results of AccidentsD. Accidents and anxietyPassage 4America?s most creative playwright today is a 47-year-old black man who grew up ina Pittsburgh slum, dropped out of secondary school, did most of his reading at the neighborhood public library, and never saw plays until he started to write them. His nameis August Wilson, and his plays, which all are about the 20th century black experience in urban America, have won him audience?s acclaim(喝彩), critical approval and innumerable awards, including two Pulitzer Prizes, in 1987 for “Fences” and in 1990 for “The Piano Lesson”.August Wilson was born in 1945 in Pittsburgh, of a white father and a black mother. His father , a baker of German descent, had just about abandoned the family and was rarely at home. His mother, Daisy Wilson, who had migrated north from North Carolina, raised August and his three sisters on her scanty wages as a cleaning lady and on her welfare checks, in a two-room cold-water flat. His friends, his neighbors, his surroundings all were black, and he became familiar with black speech and thought-processes. Later on, when the family moved to a somewhat better, more mixed neighborhood, he still retained his black connections and interests. But he developed affinities（爱好）of his own, too. Especially an affinity for reading, which his mother taught him by age five.“My mother believed that if you could read, anything was possible,” he has said. “I read everything there was at the Carnegie Library, two blocks from the house. When I was 14, I discovered the ,Negro Section?. That?s what it was called. It consisted of 30 books or so on two little shelves. I still can remember how great it was when I read Ralph Ellison?s ,Invisible Man?. I guess from the time I was 12 I wanted to write poetry. Not plays. Poems.”51. “Fences” and “The Piano Lesson” in the first paragraph are names of ________.A. subjectsB. filmsC. playsD. novels52. The evidence of this passage suggests that August Wilson .A. didn?t enjoy his childhood.B. didn?t finish elementary school.C. did most of his reading at a public library.D. was born in 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.53. The word “scanty”(Para.2) probably means .A. plentifulB. meagerC. excessiveD. enough54. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. August Wilson is a successful American playwright.B. Wilson?s plays deals with the urban black American today.C. Wilson became interested in writing poems at the age of five.D.

新视野试卷三级试卷及答案
新视野试卷三级试卷及答案-CAL-FENGHAI.-(YICAI)-Company One1Text 1Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion （拥挤）. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, retractable（可伸缩的）arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. (285 words)21. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.A) its power source B) its driving systemC) its monitoring system D) its seating capacity22. What is the author's main concern?A) How to render automobiles pollution-free.B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D) How to develop an automated subway system.23. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?A) A rail. B) An engine.C) A retractable arm. D) A computer controller.24. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is ________.A) keep in the right laneB) wait to arrive at his destinationC) keep in constant touch with the computer centerD) inform the system of his destination by phone25. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A) Enthusiastic. B) Pessimistic. C) Optimistic. D) Cautious.Text 2What should you think about in trying to find your careerYou are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work. (303 words)26. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A) The importance of doing well at school.B) Using school performance to help to choose a career.C) The importance of being good at all subjects.D) The indirect value of schoolwork.27. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ______.A) a waste of time that could have been spent on studyB) useful for his future workC) a good way to earn extra moneyD) a good way to find out his weak points28. According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ______.A) will be a complete failure in his future workB) will not be able to find a suitable jobC) will regret not having worked harder at schoolD) may do well in his future work29. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for jot hunting?A) Mathematics. B) English. C) Technical Drawing. D) History.30. The whole passage centers on ______.A) choosing a career according to what one is skilled inB) acquiring knowledge by working hard at schoolC) finding one's strong and weak pointsD) developing one's abilities useful in school workText 3As a Canadian bilingual (双语的) teacher, I agree that the Canadian bilingual schools have been successful in producing functionally bilingual students. However, Mr. Whelpton's suggested condition that teachers in these schools must be fully bilingual may be unnecessary. For example, primary teachers can and do function with a smaller vocabulary than secondary teachers.Secondly, it is doubtful that students will use English because they "understand and accept the objective of making English the language of the classroom" which is a rather sterile motive. One reason that Canadian bilingual programs work is because of the commitment to Whole Language Learning, that is, children learn a language, (first or second), by using it to transmit (播送) or receive meaningful messages that are interesting, real and important. They want to make their needs and desires known and to understand the world around them. Bilingual programs integrate language and content in an activity-based, child-centred manner so that the child is motivated to use the second language as a tool to transmit and receive messages related to social and academic interests.Mr. Whelpton's third argument that all the students in one class need to be at approximately the same level of English proficiency (熟练) when they switch to English is unrealistic and unprofitable. How does a teacher group children who have a huge vocabulary but poor grammar skills and others who have correct grammar but a poor vocabularyAlso, suppose the students have similar language abilities but different learning styles! Hence the concept of co-operative learning: students with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses (a more realistic reflection of life) learn better as they co-operate (合作), instead of compete, and depend on each other for support and information. (280 words)31. How would you describe the writer's style?A) The passage is written in an academic style.B) The passage is written in a journalistic style.C) The passage is written in a personal style.D) The passage is written on the basis of widespread research in the areA)32. How would you describe the writer's attitude towards the Canadian bilingual programmes?A) Balanced. B) Unenthusiastic. C) Supportive. D) Critical.33. In paragraph 1 the writer ________.A) agrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentB) agrees partially with Mr. Whelpton's argumentC) disagrees completely with Mr. Whelpton's argumentD) is overwhelmingly critical of Mr. Whelpton's argument34. In paragraph 2 "sterile" is closest in meaning to________.A) uninformative B) unusual C) stereotypical D) uninspiring35. According to the writer the Canadian bilingual programs have been a success ________.A) because students accept the objective of making English the language of the classroomB) because students study in classrooms where everybody is at about the same levelC) because the students can use their first language freelyD) because they work towards real life goalsText 4If sustainable competitive advantage depends on workforce skills, American firms have a problem. Human-resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm in the United States. Skill acquisition is considered an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired rented at the lowest possible cost much as one buys raw materials or equipment.The lack of importance attached to human-resource management can be seen in the corporate hierarchy. In an American firm the chief financial officer is almost always second in command. The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chance to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human resource management is central usually the second most important, after the CEO, in the firm's hierarchy.While American firms often have the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact, they invest less in the skills of their employees than do either Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do).the effective cost of those stations is lower in Germany than it is in the United States. More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is a slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.36. Which of the following applies to the management of human resources in American companies?A) They hire people at the lowest cost regardless of their skills.B) They see the gaining of skills as their employees’ own business.C) They attach more importance to workers than to equipment.D) They only hired skilled workers because of keen competition.37. What is the position of the head of human resource management?A) He is one of the most important executives in the firm.B) His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.C) He is directly under the chief financial executive.D) He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.38. The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to________.A) workers who can operate new equipmentB) technological and managerial staffC) workers who lack basic ground skillsD) top executives39. What's the main idea of the passage?A) American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.B) Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human resource management.C) The head of human resource management must be in the central position in a firm's hierarchy.D) The human resource management strategies of American firms will affect their competitive capacity.40. According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is ___________.A) the introduction of new technologiesB) the improvement of workers' skillsC) the rational composition of professional and managerial employeesD) the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employeesIII.

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage isfollowed bysomequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorrespondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage 1Having raised eight children of my own, I know the dilemma parents face. In aworld increasingly hostile to children, we want to show we care by acting on our loving impulses, which usually means spending. But when our kids came home asking for the latest designer wear, my wife and I knew we had to say “no”more often than not. Of course, deciding tohave no TV in the house was the first real breakthrough; Idoubt wewould have won this battle without freeing ourselves from its influence.As a child, I grew up in what I now see was poverty. For the first few years of mylife, I ate only the smallest amount. Yet, I would find it hard to imagine a happierchildhood. Why? Because my parents gave us children time and attention on a dailybasis. For instance, no mater how busy they were, they tried to eat breakfast with usbefore we went off to school each morning.No child should have to live in poverty. ButI firmly believe that the happiness of achild does not depend on his or her access to material wealth.After all, it is the love wegive our children, and not the things, that will remain with them for life.Havingworked thirty years as a family counselor, I know that parents really to lovetheir children, and want to do what is best for them. But what does it mean to give achild love? Next time you feel that your have failed your kids, and are tempted to relievethose feeling by bringing home gifts, remember thatwe can't buy our children's affection.All they really want, and need, is time and attentiveness, a listening ear and anencouraging word.

They had thought they'd never be able to get away on this holiday, their first holiday alone, without the family, since their honeymoon. They had had to arrange for Mrs. Malloy's mother to look after Freddie and George, their children, while a neighbor had kindly agreed to look after Annabelle their cat, for the two weeks of their of their holiday. Then there'd been the problem of arranging both to take their annual leave from work at the same time, all the bother of getting passports (it was their first holiday abroad) and finally the last minute rush to pack, getthe children off to their grandmother and make sure the neighbor had precise instructions as to what Annabelle liked to eat. Sometimes they'd wondered whether it was all worth while. But there they were at last, on an aeroplane heading for the unknown pleasures of a holiday resort in Spain.Mrs. Malloy was still a bit worriedabout the thought of eating strange foreign foodand had some real English tea and tins in her luggage, just in case. Mr. Malloy wondered d learned in six weeks of evening classes would be'whether the few Spanish phrases heenough to talk to the natives, and anxiously thumbed his bilingual (双语的) phrase book.21.

新视野试卷三级试卷及答案
新视野试卷三级试卷及答案第一篇：新视野试卷三级试卷及答案Text 1Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse.They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned.Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay.They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years.It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine.The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion（拥挤）.One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, retractable （可伸缩的）arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically.Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer.The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system.The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway.The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit.It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-dayhighway.(285 words)21.One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.A)its power source B)its driving system C)its monitoring system D)its seating capacity22.What is the author's main concern? A)How to render automobiles pollution-free.B)How to make smaller and safer automobiles.C)How to solve the problem of traffic jams.D)How to develop an automated subway system.23.What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system? A)A rail.B)An engine.C)A retractable arm.D)A computer controller.24.In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is ________.A)keep in the right lane B)wait to arrive at his destination C)keep in constant touch with the computer center D)inform the system of his destination by phone25.What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?A)Enthusiastic.B)Pessimistic.C)Optimistic.D)Cautious.Text 2What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it.If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work ontime, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example.Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be all thumbs when you handle tools;perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background.You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.(303 words)26.Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?A)The importance of doing well at school.B)Using school performance to help to choose a career.C)The importance of being good at all subjects.D)The indirect value of schoolwork.27.The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ______.A)a waste of time that could have been spent on study B)useful for his future work C)a good way to earn extra money D)a good way to find out his weak points28.According to the passage, if a student's school record is not good, he ______.A)will be a complete failure in his future work B)will not be able to find a suitable job C)will regret not having worked harder at school D)may do well in his future work29.Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for jot hunting?

Also, suppose the students have similar language abilities but different learning styles!Hence the concept of co-operative learning: students with a mixture of personalities, talents and weaknesses(a more realistic reflection of life)learn better as they co-operate(合作), instead of compete, and depend on each other for support and information.(280words)31.How would you describe the writer's style?

A)He is one of the most important executives in the firm.B)His post is likely to disappear when new technologies are introduced.C)He is directly under the chief financial executive.D)He has no say in making important decisions in the firm.38.The money most American firms put in training mainly goes to________.A)workers who can operate new equipment B)technological and managerial staff C)workers who lack basic ground skills D)top executives 39.What's the main idea of the passage? A)American firms are different from Japanese and German firms in human-resource management.B)Extensive retraining is indispensable to effective human resource management.C)The head of human resource management must be in the central position in a firm's hierarchy.D)The human resource management strategies of American firms will affect their competitive capacity.40.According to the passage, the decisive factor in maintaining a firm's competitive advantage is ___________.A)the introduction of new technologies B)the improvement of workers' skills C)the rational composition of professional and managerial employees D)the attachment of importance to the bottom half of the employeesIII.Vocabulary and Structure(15 points)Directions: Choose the best one to complete each sentence.41.I much prefer

Finally her husband said, “Choose me or the computer.”She divorced him.Psychologist Kimberly Young, assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh's Bradford campus, found that 76 percent of the subjects in the study spends an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet.Of 396 people who met Young ' criteria （标准）for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29; the women average 43 years of age.The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside the home; that is, homemakers, students and those who were disabled or retired.In a presentation at the annual meeting of the American Psychological Association in Toronto, 82 percent of the addicted users said that they had slowly drifted into their addictions. （278 words）36.

The writer 's attitude towards surfing the Internet is.A. appreciativeB. satiric （讽刺的）C. criticalD. solemnPassage 2In the summer of 1978 an English farmer named Ian Stevens was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered something strange. Some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The flattened （被压平的）wheat formed a circle about six meters across. Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. In the following years more and more similar circles were found in a field of wheat or corn. So people cannot help but ask the question: What causes the circles?At first, people suspected that the circles were a trick. To prove that the circles were a trick, people tried to copy them: they tried to make circles exactly like the ones the farmers had found. They couldn't do it. They couldn't enter a field of grain without leaving tracks, and they couldn't flatten the grain without breaking it. The circles are apparently not a trick.Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles. Some think that the beings are trying to communicate with us from far away and that the circles are messages from them. Others believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and that the circles are marks left by their spaceships. Several times people reported seeing strange flying objects near fields where circles later appeared.Scientists say they're not sure what causes them. They have suggested several theories. For example, some scientists say that "microbursts" of wind created the circles. A microburst is a downward rush of cool air —the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash. Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear. But circles often appear in forms. It is hard to believe that any natural force could create those forms. And recently farmers have discovered not only circles but also other shapes such as triangles in their fields. Could any natural force created a perfect triangle in a field of grain?In the summer of 1990 some scientists spent three weeks in the part of England where many circles have appeared. They had all the latest high-tech equipment. This equipment —worth 1.8 million dollars —recorded nothing. But one night, as the scientists were watching a field, circles formed in the field behind them. These circles are shown in the photograph. The scientists had neither seen nor heard anything. (402 words)41. What causes the circles?A. Teenagers.B. Farmers.C. Flying objects.D. None of the above.42. The thing that proves that the circles were not a trick is that _______ .A. two men said they made the circles themselvesB. farmers were making the circles to attract touristsC. people cannot copy the circles without leaving marks or breaking the grainD. scientists suggest theories that support the idea that circles were made by naturalforces43. The circles mean _______ .A. that beings from outer space are trying to communicate with human beingsB. that beings from outer space have visited the earthC. that there do exist strange flying objectsD. none of the above44. The only thing for the scientists to be happy about in the summer of 1990 is possibly .A. that they discovered how the circles were madeB. that they saw the circles with the help of the latest high-tech equipmentC. that they were able to show the circles in a photographD. none of the above45. A proper title for this passage is ______ .A. An Unsolved MysteryB. Strange Flying ObjectsC. The Power of Natural ForcesD. The Discovery of Strange CirclesPassage 3Accidents are caused; they don't just happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with (和…人争执)themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused a majority of criminallycareless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness of thoughtlessness.It is not always, clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.46.
