At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics.In fact,his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman,and incomplete.For unlike other young Virginian of that day,he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginia Williamsburg.In terms of formal training then,Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as JohnAdams.Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.In later years,Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training.He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress(国会),or on any subject that had not todo with everyday,practical matters.And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders,he did not visit the country he admired so much.Thus,unlike Jefferson and Adams,he never reached Europe.11.Why didn’t Washington go to college?A.His family could not afford it.B.A college education was rather uncommon in his time.C.He didn’t like the young Virginian gentlemen.D.The author doesn’t give any reason.12.Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he__________.cked practice in public speakingB.felt his education was not good enoughC.didn’t like arguing and debating with peopleD.felt that debating was like intellectual training13.The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he__________.A.didn’t really care about goingB.didn’t know French leadersC.couldn’t communicate directly with the French leadersD.was too busy to travel14.According to the author,__________.A.Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later lifeB.Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak FrenchC.Washington was not as good a president as Adams,Jefferson or MadisonD.Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen15.The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education __________.A.was of great variety,covering many subjectsB.was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his timeC.may seem poor by modern standards,but was good enough for his timeD.was rather limited for a presidentPassage 2Like most people,I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting.It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery:giving–away makes life so much more exciting.You need not worry if you lack money.This is how I experimented with giving–away.If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me,I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper.One discovery I made about giving–away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without gettingsomething back,though the return often comes in an unexpected form.One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home,though it was addressed to me at my office.I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation.More than a year later I needed a post–office box for a new business I was starting.I was told at the window that there were no boxes left,and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list.As I was about to leave,the postmaster appeared in the doorway.He had overheard(无意中听到)our conversation.“Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?”I said yes.“Well,you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you.You don’t know what a letter like that means to us.We usually get nothing but complaints.”16.From the passage,we understand that __________.A.the author did not understand the importance of giving until he was in late thirtiesB.the author was like most people who were mostly receivers rather than giversC.the author received the same education as most people during his childhoodD.the author liked most people as they looked upon life as a process of getting17.According to the author __________.A.giving means you will lack moneyB.the excitement of giving can bring you moneyC.you don’t have to be rich in order to giveD.when you give away money,you will be rich18.The author would make the suggestion to the storekeeper __________.A.in writingB.in personC.in the window displayD.about the neighborhood19.When the author needed a post–office box,__________.A.he had to put his name on a waiting listB.he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC.many people had applied for post–office boxes before himD.he asked the postmaster to make one for him20.In reply to the postmaster’s question,the author said __________.A.it was the special deliveryB.it was the post–office boxC.it was the note of appreciation he wroteD.it was he who wrote him a letter a year agoPassage 3Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than of their families.Television is the most significant of these influences,because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children.The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them.Studies indicate that,when children are exposed to violence,they many become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials during programs for children.And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of.The most famous of these is Sesame Street,which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet(字母)and numbers.It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live. Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality,some critics argue that all television,whether educational or not,is harmful to children.These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive(被动的)consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.21.Which of the following statements is NOT based on the passage?A.Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.B.Television has much influence on children.C.Both parents and their children like watching educational television.D.Some critics think that television is no good for children.22.In what ways do children suffer from television?A.They become the victims of social violence.B.They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.C.The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D.The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’money.23.Parents would not like their children to see commercials because __________.A.they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingmercials teach children alphabet and numbersmercials help to sell productsD.they don’t like commercialscational television is widely appreciated because __________.A.it does have the same commercials as othersB.it offers programs for both children and their parentsC.many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD.children can learn some school subjects before they go to school25.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young MindsB.Television Is More Harmful than EducationalC.Television’s Influence on ChildrenE.More Education TelevisionPassage 4There was a bad storm last night.Power lines were blown down by the high winds.Electric service was cut to more than a thousand homes,stores,and offices in the area.As a result,the two telephones on Dwayne Lederer’s desk have been ringing all day.He works in the public relations office of the utility company that provides electricity for the region.When service is interrupted,as it was by last night’s storm,Dwayne has to inform the public what the company is doing about the problem.He issues statements to the press,radio,and TV about the progress of repair work.He also answers dozens of phone calls from customers who want to know when their electric service is going to be restored.Right now he’s talking to the maintenance section.The supervisor is telling him where the crews are working and how long it will take to complete the repairs.His second phone is ringing,,and he picks it up as soon as he hangs up the first phone.This time it is a customer,and Dwayne is able to tell her that her electricity will be restored in an hour or less.Before he finishes the call,the other phone is ringing again.Dwayne isn’t always as busy as he is today.He spends a great deal of his time writing stories about the utility company and placing them in the local newspapers.Of course the stories show the company in a favorable light.At other times,he takes visitors through the company’s plants.He has also been working on a new project.He’s arranging to visit schools in the area to explain to the students how electricity is generated and distributed.He thinks this will help the public to understand some of the company’s polices.Public relations is a field that has grown very rapidly in recent years.People have become aware of the effect that industry has on their lives.Now there are movements to protect the environment and to protect consumers.Many companies have found that they need to explain their policies to the public.Some of them have found it necessary to respond to bad publicity.Tourism and entertainment businesses have slways needed favorable publicity to attract customers.Dwayne worked as a reporter on a local newspaper for several months after he graduated from school.At the same time,the management of the utility company decided that it was necessary to do a better job in public relations.The company hired several men and women to fill vacancies in the public relations department.Dwayne was interviewed and chosen for one of the positions.26.The company Dwayne works

(20 points)Questions 31~35 are based on the Passage 1.Passage 1All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This may be your lucky day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hope. The cupboards in her kitchen were full of things which she did not need. In vain her husband tried to dissuade（劝阻）her. She dreamed of the day when the manager of thesupermarket would come to her and say: “Madam, this is your lucky day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea.

Mr. Hammond washes up the dishes every night and lays the breakfast for the morning. Mr. Clark said that on Sunday mornings “I usually hover（徘徊；转悠）around for her while she does a bit of washing.”Mr. Davis polishes the floors and helps to make the beds at the weekends, and during the week takes the dog out for one of his twice-daily walks.

Geographers compare and contrast21places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 22, The word geography comes from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth”and graphein, 23means “to write”, the English word Geography means “to describe the earth”. Some geography books focus on a small area 24 a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an entire continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another 25to divide the study of geography is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 26starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act 27each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, neither branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be described 28one who observes, records, and explains the differences between places.If places 29alike, there would be little need for geographers.We know, however, that no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 30isa point of view, a special way of looking at places.21. A.similar B.various C.distant D.famous22. A.whole B.unit C.part D.total23. A.what B.that C.which D.it24.

A.still B.then C.nevertheless D.moreoverIV. Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Learning a foreign language is not a matter of reading some grammar rules and memorizing （牢记、记忆）some vocabulary words—although those are important activities not to be ignored. Acquiring a language is learning a skill, not a body of information. It's as much like learning to swim or ride a bike as it is like learning about the Second World War. That is, you must not only understand the ideas and concepts, have information at hand, but also make your body accustomed to using that information in physical activity: in this case the physical activity involved is speaking, listening, writing and reading.You need, then, not only to memorize and understand, but also to practice!Here are a few brief suggestions on effective practice/study techniques.1. Make your mouth or hand do what your mind is learning. Study out loud. Do go to the lab and work on the tapes. Study with a friend, thus involving yourself in speaking and listening. Try to write sentences or a short paragraph using the skills you have practiced orally.2. Study day by day. You cannot get by in a foreign language course by cramming (临时抱佛脚) at the last minute. You may be able to "learn" vocabulary items that way, but you cannot teach your mouth to use them in sentences.3. Occasionally go back and review "old" topics and vocabulary. Language learning is cumulative (积累的). You learn new skills on the basis of old ones. The more you "recycle"（循环）familiar information and skills, the better you will be able to absorb new ones.4. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Self-consciousness (自我意识) can be a mighty obstacle to learning a language. Perhaps part of the reason small children readily acquire languages is that they are not afraid of making mistakes.31. The first paragraph of the passage is to emphasize that.A. memorizing vocabulary words is necessary in language learningB.learning to swim is quite similar to learning about the Second World WarC.understanding the ideas and concepts is more important than anything elsenguage learning is a process of acquiring different language skills32. One of the advantages of studying with a friend is that.A.it makes one talk in a particular languageB.it strengthens the friendship between two friendsC.friends can share tapes or other learning materialsD.one studies better in a friendly atmosphere33. Cramming should be avoided while learning a language because.A.it is of little use to study without a clear purposeB.nothing can be learnt through crammingC.anything learnt that way can hardly be put into useD.one may not find enough time to use at the last minute34. The purpose of reviewing old topics is.A. to build up a good foundation for new skillsB.to appreciate the good ideas contained in themC.to throw away the old, useless informationD.to avoid making mistakes in the future35.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Why Children Are Capable of Learning a Language Better Than Grown-upsB.A Few Brief Suggestions on Studying a Foreign LanguageC.Why Learning a Foreign Language Is More Difficult Than Anything ElseD.An Introduction to Language Teaching and LearningIV. Reading ComprehensionPassage 2Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become "computer-literate." But not all experts agree that this is a good idea. One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK.Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to people and make them “people-literate." David Tebbutt thinks Computertowns are most successful when tied to a computer club but he insists there is an important difference between the two; the clubs are for people who have some computer knowledge already. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers for them to experiment on. With experts to encourage them and answer any questions they have, they are not told what to do. They find out. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to answer all questions people ask. People don't have to learn computer terms, but the experts have to explain in plain language. The computers are becoming "people-literate."36. Which of the following is David Tebbutt's idea on the relationship between people and computers?A. Computer learning should be made easier.B.There should be more computer clubs for experts.C.People should work harder to master computer use.puters should be made cheaper so that people can afford them.37. We can infer from the text that "computer-literate" means.A.being able to afford a computerB.being able to write computer programsC.working with the computer and finding out its valueD.understanding the computer and knowing how to use it38. The underlined word "it" in the second paragraph refers to the idea that Computertowns .A.help to set up more computer clubsB.bring people to learn to use computersC.bring more experts to work togetherD.help to sell computers to the public39. David Tebbutt started Computertown UK with the purpose of.A.making better use of computer expertsB.improving computer programsC.increasing computer salesD.popularizing computers40. Which of the following is NOT true?.A.Many people think that Computertown UK is a good way to bring peoplecloser to the computer.puter clubs are for those computer-literate people.C.Everyone think people should be “computer-literate.”D.The computer experts have to be able to answer all questions in plain language.V. Translation41. To tell the truth, we don't really have much in common, but we get along really well.参考答案：说实话，我俩相同的地方实际上很少，不过我们相处得很好。

A Beggar

At a street corner squats a beggar. He is always there, under the tree, in the shade. Senile as he is, he crouches(蹲；蹲伏) in some ragged pieces of cloth. He is there, always there, like a sculpture（雕塑品） in the street. Day after day, thousands of people pass by hurriedly. Some spare coins, most give a quick glance in disgus/gΛ/ （反感、厌恶、嫌弃）. It shocks me very much. What a miserable life a human being can bear!
Figure sb./sth. Out(esp. US)：come to understand sb./sth by thinking理解、弄明白;discover sth by using artithmetic ;calculate sth、计算出

范文一点评：

本文用生动的语言形象地刻画了一位在路边以乞讨为生的孤苦老人。作者非常注重细节的描写，如乞讨者布满皱纹、饱经风霜的脸，乱蓬蓬油腻的头发，半张半合的眼睛，粗糙的手，瘦弱的腿和脖子，他面前的破碗，破烂的衣服等。还包括乞讨者的动作，如向行人点头，伸手乞讨等。此外，作者还描述了行人厌恶的神色，进一步渲染了乞讨者艰难的处境，以唤起读者的共鸣。

He loved painting, and he was a very talented painter. However, nobody could understand his pictures, nor could any one be aware of their value. His pictures could only be left in a tiny gallery administered（管理、治理） by his brother, but none of them was sold for years. Because of that, his brother was almost fired by the gallery holder. Perhaps there was only one picture finally sold out during his lifetime, which was named “Red Vineyard”/i ә/(葡萄园), at a price of four pounds. But the fact was that it was bought by his brother and friends who wanted to help him.

The man replied that he was very _24_, but that those were his instructions. People complained that they could not get to and from their _25_ comfortably, because other people’s legs were alwa ys in the way, and it had, therefore, been decided that _26_ should leave their legs outside. It seemed to me that the management, in making this order, had gone _27_ their legal right; and, under ordinary circumstances, I should have disputed it. However, I didn't want to _28_ a disturbance; so I sat down and meekly prepared to comply with the demand. I had never before _29_ that the human leg could be unscrewed. I had always thought it was more securely fixed. But the man showed me how to undo them, and I found that they came off quite easily.The discovery did not surprise _30_ any more than the original request that I should take them off. Nothing does surprise one in a dream.21. A. was B. saw C. had D. wanted22. A. leave B. leaves C. leaving D. left23. A. before B. after C. during D. so24. A. angry B. sorry C. friendly D. helpful25.

He lay on his back in narrow tunnels and cut the coal from above his head. He came out black, wet, stiff and sore. He told his manager to make the tunnels wider and to improve and repair the miner’s hous es.When he got tired of waiting for the railways to deliver his coal, Henry Ford bought an old railway, which ran between Ohio and Detroit. People laughed. But he ran that railway and at a time when locomotive burnt coal and made everything dirty, his engines sheds and stations were painted white and kept that way.He did not like the quality of the glass he was getting for his windscreens. So he bought a glass factory, improved it, and became—quite by accident—one of the world’s biggest glass producers. And yet all he wanted to do was build cars.He was interested in everything, in radios, clocks and planes. He flew with Lindbergh just before the famous pilot made his first flight alone across the Atlantic. He even began to build planes.Meanwhile, Henry and his wife Clara were as happy a couple as ever. They both loved birds, and often watched them together. Once, when a bird made its nests by the front door, everyone used the back door until the mother bird had brought up herfamily.They also loved dancing, even in old age, and organized dancing classes for the school children in their town.Running was Henry’s favorite exercise. Early one morning a guest on the Ford pri vate train noticed that they were going rather slowly. He looked out and saw Henry Ford running along behind the train, getting his morning exercise.31.

Henry flew with Lindbergh because he _______.A. was learning to fly a planeB. wanted to be a famous pilotC. was planning to fly alone across the AtlanticD. was interested in planes35. The Henrys used the back door because ________.A. they had children to bring upB. it was easier to watch the birdsC. they didn't want to disturb the mother bird nesting by the front doorD. there was a bird nest there and they wanted to watch itQuestions 36~40 are based on the following passage.Nearly all energy comes from the sun, either in a roundabout way or straight from it, in the form of heat and light rays. The light from the moon, too, comes from the sun. the moon can be said to be like a large mirror which throws back he sun’s light to the earth.Electrical energy comes from the sun in a roundabout way. It can come from the power of water falling down mountainside. The water fell there as rain, and we know that rain is made by the sun’s heat evaporating(使蒸发) the water on the earth’s surface. The water vapor rises, condenses(凝结) on cooling, and falls as rain.The light and heat energy from coal also comes from the sun in a roundabout way. Coal was made by the rockets pressing on tress and plants which died millions of years ago. Those trees and plants grew with the aid of sunlight, from which they made carbohydrates(碳水化合物), in this way hanging the sun’s energy into chemical energy. When we burn coal, some of this energy is set free.Energy which we use to drive car engines comes from petrol, which also was made with the aid of the sun in a roundabout way. Plants and animals which ate the plants, died millions of year ago, and the parts of them that were left were pressed under the rocksin the earth. These parts left from dead animals made petroleum, from which petrol and oil are now obtained.Thus, we can say that the sun is the place where nearly all energy comes from, and that without the sun’s heat and light, there could be no life on earth.36. Nearly all energy is derived from the sun, _______.A. in the form of heatB. in the form of light reflected by the moon.C. in the form of light raysD. in the form of heat and light rays.37. The power of water falling down mountainside comes from the sun because ___________.A. the sun heats the water in the mountainsB. the water comes from the rain which is heated by the sunC. the water comes from vapor, which is made by the sun’s heatD. the water is heated by the sun38. When coal is burnt, some of the chemical energy is ______.A. condensedB. cooled\\C. releasedD. lost39. Which of the following is Not true?A. Petrol can be used as energy to drive car engines.B. Coal was formed by trees and plants which died millions of years ago.C. Plants and animals which died millions of year ago formed oil.D. The sun’s heat and light caused dead animals and plants to become oil.40. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us that ______.A. the sun can be said to be the source of nearly all energyB. rain is made by the sun’s heat evaporating the water on the earth’s surfaceC. many forms of energy are derived indirectly from the sunD. human beings cannot live without the sunSection V Translation (15 points)41.

2021年公共英语一级考试模拟练习题3Antarctica and EnvironmentAntarctica has actually become a kind of space station - a unique observation post for detecting important changes in the world‘s environment. Remote from major sources of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevail elsewhere， Antarctica makes possiblescientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distant-early-warning sensor， where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from the United States， Switzerland，and France are pursuing seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet - a concern they believe the world at large should share.The Transantarctic Mountain， some of them more than 14，000 feet high， divide the continent into two very different regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain， the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet， but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared， the western part of the continent would be reduced to a sparse cluster of island.While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments， others focus on the mysterious “dry valley” of Antarctica， valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southern Victoria Land， these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descended 9，000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea. Now the glaciers are gone， perhaps a casualty of the global warming trend during the 10，000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roars down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges， rippled fields of sanddunes， clusters of boulders sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100-mile-an-hour winds， and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys， some scientists believe they may carry a message of hope of the verdant parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutants faster than pollutants enter them.1. What is the best title for this passage?[A]Antarctica and environmental Problems.[B]Antarctica： Earth‘s Early-Warning station.[C]Antarctica： a Unique Observation Post.[D]Antarctica： a Mysterious Place.2. What would the result be if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared?[A]The western part of the continent would be disappeared.[B]The western part of the continent would be reduced.[C]The western part of the continent would become scattered Islands.[D]The western part of the continent would be reduced to a cluster of Islands.3. Why are the Dry Valleys left bare?[A]Vicious wind blasts the snow away.[B]It rarely snows.[C]Because of the global warming trend and fierce wind.[D]Sand dunes.4. Which of the following is true?[A]The “Dry Valleys” have nothing left inside.[B]The “Dry Valleys” never held glaciers.[C]The “Dry Valleys” may carry a message of hope for the verdant.[D]The “Dry Valleys” are useless to scientists.Vocabulary1. distant-early-warning sensor 远距离早期报警传感器2. plateau 高原，高地3. slash 挥砍4. blast 一阵疾风/狂风5. vicious 邪恶的，凶魔般的6. gorge 峡谷7. ripple 起伏，使起微波8. sand dune 沙丘9. verdant 绿色10. extraterrestrial 地球之外的11. aura 气氛难句译注1.
