公共英语等级考试三级临考冲刺试题公共英语等级考试三级临考冲刺试题Do what you say,say what you do.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的公共英语等级考试三级临考冲刺试题，希望能给大家带来帮助!The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classical rational model of first clarifying goals, assessing the problem, formulating options, estimating likelihoods of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical maneuvers, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed “intuition” to manage a network of interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambiguity, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise; and to integrate action into the process of thinking.Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing managers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality; others view it as an excuse for capriciousness.Isenberg’s recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers reveals that managers’ intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned behavior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is based on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skills. A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and practice into an integrated picture, often in an “Aha!” experience. Fourth, somemanagers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most senior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tools, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasionally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to bypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution. Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which a manager recognizes familiar patterns.One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is that “thinking” is inseparable from acting. Since managers often “know” what is right before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in which managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by analyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but by acting and analyzing in close concert.Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face, senior managers often instigate a course of action simply to learn more about an issue. They then use the results of the action to develop a more complete understanding of the issue. One implication of thinking/acting cycles is that action is often part of defining the problem, not just of implementing the solution.1. According to the text, senior managers use intuition in all of the following ways EXCEPT to[A] speed up of the creation of a solution to a problem.[B] identify a problem.[C] bring together disparate facts.[D] stipulate clear goals.2. The text suggests which of the following about the “writers on management” mentioned in line 1, paragraph 2?[A] They have criticized managers for not following the classical rational model of decision analysis.[B] They have not based their analyses on a sufficiently large sample of actual managers.[C] They have relied in drawing their conclusions on what managers say rather than on what managers do.[D] They have misunderstood how managers use intuition in making business decisions.3. It can be inferred from the text that which of the following would most probably be one major difference in behavior between Manager X, who uses intuition to reach decisions, and Manager Y, who uses only formal decision analysis?[A] Manager X analyzes first and then acts; Manager Y does not.[B] Manager X checks possible solutions to a problem by systematic analysis; Manager Y does not.[C] Manager X takes action in order to arrive at the solution to a problem; Manager Y does not.[D] Manager Y draws on years of hands-on experience in creating a solution to a problem; Manager X does not.4. The text provides support for which of the following statements?[A] Managers who rely on intuition are more successful than those who rely on formal decision analysis.[B] Managers cannot justify their intuitive decisions.[C] Managers’ intuition works contrary to their rational and analytical skills.[D] Intuition enables managers to employ their practical experience more efficiently.5. Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph of the text?[A] An assertion is made and a specific supporting example is given.[B] A conventional model is dismissed and an alternative introduced.[C] The results of recent research are introduced and summarized.[D] Two opposing points of view are presented and evaluated. 解析1. 【答案】D【考点解析】这是一道归纳推导题。

公共英语三级强化练习题及答案

公共英语三级强化练习题及答案2017年公共英语三级强化练习题及答案ReadingAn embarrassing experienceIt was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled Lond trom Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my fiat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. I was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so fired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, "have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness, "Yes, hundreds of times. ""And you have nothing to declare?""Nothing. ""How long have you been out of this country?""About three months. ""And during that time you have acquired nothing?""Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. "He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected."Where did you get that watch?"I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice,without any reason, during the journey.I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement."It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?"It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.26. When did the writer arrive at London airport?[A] In the early morning. [B] Late at night.[ C] At noon. [ D] Late in the morning.27. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?[ A] He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.[ B ] He must have noticed the writer' s ugly watch.[ C ] He wanted to embarrass the writer.[ D] He must have noticed the writer's tiredness.28. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?[ A] He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.[ B ] He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.[ C ] He didn't like the watch at all.[D] He was indifferent to the watch.29. What must have happened to the writer in the end?[ A] He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment.[ B ] He must have been given a fine as a punishment.[ C] His Rolex must have been confiscated.[ D ]His cheap watch must have been confiscated.30. What do you think is the tone of the story?[ A] Humorous. [ B] Sarcastic.[ C 1 Solemn. [ D ] Matter-of-fact.Part A Text l参考译文一次尴尬的经历当我们到达伦敦机场的时候还是凌晨，我已经从阿姆斯特丹往伦敦过电报了，预租了一辆车等我们，但是在我到达公寓之前又发生了一倒霉的事。

公共英语三级阅读专项强化试题通用一篇

公共英语三级阅读专项强化试题通用一篇公共英语三级阅读专项强化试题 1Part ADirections :Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEETl.Text 1It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her veryfirst job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before shecould get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enter-prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the dooragain, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound ofvoices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she hadthe interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an officeat all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room,somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter asshe came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from hiswork, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.46. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _ .[A] it was her first day in a new job[B] she was a little bit late for work[C] she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place[D] there was no answer from inside the office47. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as .[A] she had been there only once[B] Mr. Smith was not in the office[C] nobody was doing any work[D] the office had a new appearance48. The people in the office suddenly started working because .[A] they saw a stranger in the office[B] their morning break was ended[C] no one wanted to talk to Marie[D] the boss was about to arrive49. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise . .[A] would start their work by listening to a joke. [B] were cold to ers[C] were always punctual for work[D] lacked devotion to the pany50. The best title for this text would be. .[A] Punctual Like a Clock[B] A Cold e[C] An Unpunctual Manager[D] Better Late Than NeverText 2For most of us, dieting is a frustrating fact of life. With so much conflicting nutritional information about, it can be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let' s start by discounting these confusing myths.1. All calories are created equalWhat you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain, according to research.Calories from fat pack on thepounds. The reason: during digestion, the body burns many more calories metabolizing protein and carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat.2. Desserts are tabooCakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet, the expert says. Moderation is the key. CVt down on other meals if you'll be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets.Or indulge, but take only a few bites.3. Fast foods are forbiddenA plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice. So is grilled chicken or a green salad with low-cal dressing. But watch out for French fries, milkshakes and batter-dipped chicken or fish.4. Fasting is the fastest dietSome studies suggest that drastically reducing calorie intake switches the body into a " starvationmode", which conserves calories and decreases your metabolic rate. The more frequently you deprive yourself of food, the better your body may get at storing calories. So, in the long run, repeated fasting may actually undermine your weight-loss efforts.5. To keep weight off, simply watch what you eat .According to experts, exercise bined with dieting ensures weight Joss better than dieting alone does. Experts also agree that sticking with regular, moderate exercise is more important that occasional vigorous workouts are. Obesity-researcher Kelly Brownell encourages patients to make a series of small physical efforts: taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking the car far from where you are going and walking.Most important, before getting caught up in dietary myths, let good sense shape your eating habits. Your body will thank you for it.51. It cannot be inferred from the first paragraph that _ .[A] the information about dieting is always- contradictory[B] there are too many weight-loss strategies to choose from[C] dieting is always troublesome to most people[D] people should not believe the ideas of dieting52. One of the elements to gain weight is _ .[A] the amount of the food you eat[B] over sleeping[C] laziness[D] the kind of food you eat53. Which of the following saying is true about dieting?[A] You can't eat sweets.[B] Fast foods are not good.[C] You should not neglect any meals.[D] Fasting is always helpful54. The phrase "starvation mode" means .[A] being very hungry[B] eating what you like when you are hungry[C] weight-loss efforts[D] being ready to eat55. The word "shape" in the last sentence means .[A] break [B] form[C] get rid of [D] changeText 3Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn e. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employees and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country's resources which can be bined with other resources to produce the goods and services required by the munity. .Though the size of the workforce relies greatly on the size of the total population,there are several other aspects which alsoaffect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work,then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution.If the population grows rapidly from natural increase,i. e. the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths,then as a total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging,which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly,and as people retire from the workforce, there are inadequate numbers of young people entering it to take place of those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate. ' The age distribution of the population has several important influences on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the agedare to be cared for in special homes or hotels,finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population,then the government tax receipts are relatively low and either the govemment has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.56. Labor force is posed of .[A] people who are available to work and earn e[B] self-employed people only[C] only those who are looking for an employment[D] only the employees57. The factor which does NOT influence the size of the worldorce is _ .[A] the size of population[B] age distribution of the population[C] national economy[D] natural increase58. The conclusion which can be drawn safely from the second paragraph is that _[A] a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the work-force[B] a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce[C] the larger the number of the aged in a population,the higher the proportion of the workforce[D] if the population has an evenly spreaded age distribution,the workforce will be lower59. When a population is said to be aging,_ .[A] more people are retiring than people entering the workforce[B] the birth rate is growing '[C] there is an oversupply of workforce[D] young people outnumber old people60. The population which is top-heavy with older people poses a problem to _ .[A] the government [B] the economy[C] the workforce [D] all of the above。

公共英语等级考试三级考前训练题附答案

公共英语等级考试三级考前训练题附答案公共英语等级考试三级考前训练题附答案For man is man and master of his fate.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的公共英语等级考试三级考前训练题附答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate. It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back. When you smile, you show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result? That person will usually smile back.You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin. This is often called the "thinking pose". Ask yourself this question: Are you going to interrupt someone who appears. to be deep in thought? This position gives off "stay away" signs and prevents your main "sign sender" (your mouth) from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs.The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other person--that is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someone's "personal space" by getting too close, too soon.Leaning forward a little while a person is talking shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what you're saying, and I'm interested in--keep talking!Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth, chin, or behind their head in the "thinking" pose. This positiongives off signs of judgment, doubt, and lack of interest from the listener. Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged, this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing.In many cultures the most common form of first contact between two people is a handshake. Be the first to extend your hand in greeting. Couple this with a friendly "Hello", a nice smile, and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication.Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Direct eye contact shows you are listening to the other person and that you want to know about her.1. A person smiles to show _____.A. he is kind and usefulB. he is happy all the timeC. he is ready to talk with youD. he sees something funny2. According to the text, troubles in communication may result from _____.A. a dosed body positionB. an open body positionC. no smileD. the main " sign senders"3. Leaning back with your hands behind your head in deep thought while a person is talking _____.A. shows you are interested in and listening to what the speaker is sayingB. shows you want to keep some distance from the speakerC. makes him think-you are thinking about something elseD. makes him believe you are not interested in his talk4. All of the following gestures encourage communication except _____.A. leaning forward a little while a person is talkingB. crossing your armsC. looking in others' eyesD. extending your hand in greeting5. From the text we know that _____.A. communication depends.ads little on verbal language and much on body languageB. gestures always prevent the "sign sender" (mouth)C. we should pay much attention to body languageD. eye contact is always helpful篇章分析本文是一篇说明文，介绍了姿势或肢体语言对于交流的重要性。

And in different countries it has different meanings. Butwhen British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family"in itsnarrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own houseas an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in-dependentstarting one’s own life. The man’s first duty willthen be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibilityand their alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts oruncles, have any right to interfere with them-they are their own masters.Readers of novels likeJane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the "parents' duty tofind a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement tolead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected andmaintainedin the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in theirgiving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today.Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before theirmarriage. This has had two results. A girlthing for all of thegirls, as their social status are much higher and they are no longer the subordinate(部下，下级) oftheir parents and husbands.What does the author mean by "Family is of course an elastic word"?A.Different families have different ways of life.B.Different definitions could be given to the word.C.Different nations have different families.D.Different times produce different families.47、For an English family, the husband’s duty is________A.supporting the family while the wife is working outB.defending the family while the wife is running the homeC.providing financial support while the wife is running the homeD.independent while his wife is also independent48、Everything is decided in a family________A.by the coupleB.with the help of their parentsC.by brothers and sistersD.with the help of aunts and uncles49、What is TRUE conceming the book Pride and Prejudice?A.It is the best book on marriage.B.It is a handbook on marriage.C.It gives some idea of English social life in the past.D.It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.50、With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former-time girls in________A.the right familyB.more parental supportC.choosing husbandsD.social position51、根据资料，回答51-65题：You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.What if you say it first and your partner doesn' t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don't feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn' t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?"A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal. " All relationships go through power struggles but, he says ,if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of ' I' ve always loved you more' may be subverted(颠覆，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels"The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ' I love you' first may also be the one who says ' I' m bored with you' first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it."Is it said when they' re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is ' Please don' t be unfaithful to me' ? By saying I love you' ,they really say' Do you love me?'

It acted as such a force in Eng-land beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World in the nineteenth.Rapid advances were made in the use of scientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods,which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes was that other forms of energy havetaken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines to manufac-ture products in less time.People also developed machines that could produce the same parts for a product: each nail wasexactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. Thismeans that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking productiondown into smaller and smaller tasks.Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. In-stead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workerscompleting their own parts in cer-tain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today’s standards. Highlyskilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production al-lowed goods of high standard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand.But the skilled worker wasn’t the only loser, the common workers lost too. Similar changes forcedfarmers away. The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculture freed masses of workers fromploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidlydeveloping industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longerowned their own tools, their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer pos-sible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans atgreatly reduced cost.In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods?A.Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.B.The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.C.The increased use of machines to make products in less time.D.The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.57、The underlined word "this" in the first paragraph refers to ______A.the use of scientific findingsB.the practice of producing the same parts for a productC.the human power being replaced by other forms of energyD.the technology becoming the encouragement of historical change58、The underlined word "this" in the second paragraph refers to the change that ______A.each nail could be taken the place of by every other nailB.each nail was exactly like every other nailC.producing tasks became smaller and smallerD.goods could be mass produced59、According to the writer, highly skilled workers______pletely disappeared with the coming of the factory systemB.were dismissed by the bossC.were unable to produce goods of high standardD.were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines60、According to the passage, what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?A.Many of them had to leave their farmland for industrial centers.B.They stuck to their farm work.C.They refused to use machines.D.They did their best to leam how to use the machines.SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes)61、根据下列材料，请回答61-65题：Paula:The furore is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the fu-ture begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future-that the future is not somethingimposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future boththrough what we do and what we do not do.Mrs. John:The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict theirperformance from the strength of the brain’s electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that thestrength of the brain’s electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses couldmeasure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard,or too tired to do the job properly.Mary:In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart issaid to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of this chemical ge-latin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the ap-petite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin.Judy:In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play animportant part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen andvisual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results whichwill affect you if you act in a certain way.Carrie:In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Alsodoctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doingmore exercise as a means to keep fit.Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A]You build your own future.[B]Healthy lifestyle will be a more popular way to keep fit.[C]Computer will be an effective tool for doctors.[D]Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or over[E]Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance.[F]People will be able to visit doctors more frequently.[G]Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.Paula62、Mrs. John 63、Mary64、Judy65、Carrieweight.SECTION IV Writing Part A(40 minutes)66、You have read the following magazine advertisement in which an American girl is looking for pen-friends and you want to get in touch with her.Write a letter to her (Andy Lewis), telling her about:1 ) your family2) your schooling or work3) your hobbiesYou should write approximately 100 words.

Almost immediately, consumers began switching to smaller, more fuel-efficient cars, which were the strengths of the major auto importers. This shift in demand from large tosmaller cars did not reverse itself later in the 1970s, and the foreign importers continued to gain market share. Detroits efforts to produce competitive small cars were limited by its continuing expectation that large-car demand would soon resume. So only slowly did the domestic industry put its resources into small-car production, resulting in inadequate supply as well as inadequate concern for quality and performance. During this period, consumers discovered that similarly priced imports generally offered better performance and fewer problems than US-produced cars. According to a recently-made study named Some Estimates for Major Automotive Producers, even GM, the most cost-efficient US producer averages close to $900 more per car than the least cost-efficient Japanese producer, Toyota. Notice the single most important factor in Japanese competitiveness is not government subsidies (津贴) or a policy of “dumping” cars in the US market. Rather, it is labor cost. This difference of almost $2,000 per car favors the Japanese producers so strongly that all other comparisons virtually can be ignored.1、Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40.For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.The decline in the auto motive industry began with the oil crisis of 1973—1994, when gasoline prices rose over 300 percent.

Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimate to have risen by 8%. Althoughthe share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building. Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capital personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963 . The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase.

We use it to communicate with friends and family, to do research, to shop, and to bank. But how much do we know about the history of the Internet?The Internet began as a military project in the 1960s. The United States Department of Defense wanted to create a network that would allow computers to communicate with each other. This network was called the ARPANET.The ARPANET was a success, and soon other organizations began to connect to it. By the 1980s, the ARPANET had grown into a global network. This network was called the Internet.In the 1990s, the Internet became accessible to the general public. This led to a boom in the number of people using the Internet. Today, billions of people around the world use the Internet.The Internet has revolutionized the way we live. It has made it easier for us to communicate with each other, to do research, to shop, and to bank. It has also made it possible for us to access information and entertainment from all over the world. Questions:1.What was the original purpose of the ARPANET?(A)To allow computers to communicate with each other.(B)To connect military bases.(C)To provide access to information.(D)To create a global network.2.When did the Internet become accessible to the general public?(A)In the 1960s.(B)In the 1970s.(C)In the 1980s.(D)In the 1990s.3.What has the Internet made it easier for us to do?(A)Communicate with each other.(B)Do research.(C)Shop.(D)Bank.(E)All of the above.4.What has the Internet made it possible for us to do?(A)Access information and entertainment from all over the world.(B)Communicate with each other.(C)Do research.(D)Shop.(E)Bank.5.How has the Internet revolutionized the way we live?(A)It has made it easier for us to communicate with each other.(B)It has made it easier for us to do research.(C)It has made it easier for us to shop.(D)It has made it easier for us to bank.(E)All of the above.Passage 2Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. The Earth’s climate is changing at an unprecedented rate, and the consequences are already being felt around the world.The main cause of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. When these fuels are burned, they release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases trap heat, which causes the Earth’s temperature to rise.The rise in global temperatures is having a devastating impact on the planet. We are seeing more extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, and droughts. We are also seeing sea levels rise, which is threatening coastal communities.Climate change is also having a negative impact on human health. For example, the rise in temperatures is leading to an increase in heat-related illnesses. Climate change is also making it easier for diseases to spread.If we do not take action to address climate change, the consequences will be catastrophic. We need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and switch to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. We also need to make changes to our lifestyles, such as driving less and eating less meat.Questions:1.What is the main cause of climate change?(A)The burning of fossil fuels.(B)The destruction of forests.(C)The increase in population.(D)The use of chemicals.2.What are the consequences of climate change?(A)More extreme weather events.(B)Rising sea levels.(C)Negative impacts on human health.(D)All of the above.3.What can we do to address climate change?(A)Reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.(B)Switch to renewable energy sources.(C)Make changes to our lifestyles.(D)All of the above.4.What will happen if we do not take action to address climate change?(A)The consequences will be catastrophic.(B)The Earth will be destroyed.(C)The human race will become extinct.(D)All of the above.5.What is the most important thing we can do to address climate change?(A)Reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.(B)Switch to renewable energy sources.(C)Make changes to our lifestyles.(D)All of the above.。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的全国公共英语三级考试考前辅导试题，希望能给大家带来帮助!DirectionsRead the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure. The authorities promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were certain that it would occur again within five years at the latest. In July 1997, there was a repeat performance which produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965, the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of comparative prosperity. In 1997, the disaster was much more serious because it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering form one of its worst heat waves.In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1997, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted. Looters smashed shop windows and helped themselves to jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs which far outnumbered them and included armed men.Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass fromshop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 p.m., when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.The vast majority of New Yorkers , however, were not involved in looting. They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerator, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.46. From the first paragraph, we know that _____ were right.A. the authoritiesB. the pessimistsC. both the authorities and the pessimistsD. neither the authorities nor the pessimists47. In what way was the blackout of 1997 not really a repeat performance?A. There was much more disorder.B. This time the electricity supply failed.C. It was quite unexpected.D. It did not occur within five years of 1965.48. As far as maintaining the peace was concerned, conditions in 1997 were comparatively ___________.A. more favorableB. less favorableC. unchargedD. improved49. What caused the blackout in July 1997?A. Excessive heat probably made people switch on too many electrical appliances.B. Because of unemployment, some machines were not in proper working order.C. During a storm, lightning damaged supply cables.D. The passage does not mention the cause.50. Why did many looters manage to escape?A. The police could not see them in the dark.B. Many of the looters were armed with guns.C. There were not enough policemen to catch them all.D. They were hidden inside big buildings.参考答案：46 D 47 A 48 B 49 C 50 C。

2023全国英语等级考试三级最后冲刺习题

2023全国英语等级考试三级最后冲刺习题2023全国英语等级考试三级最后冲刺习题Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s office. Would he r age? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,” I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.” “To another paper?” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him aletter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media pany. We were at a rareturning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,” he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,” he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes.

A. W. Tabor and his second wife, Eliza-beth McCourt. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. He went to Kansas in 1855. Perhaps he was lured by rumors offortunes to be made in Colorado mines. So a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here. " he said.As it turned out, it was silver that was to make Leadville' s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective miners to supply them with food and supplies, or "grub", while they looked for ore, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, two miners came in and asked for "grub". Tabor had decided to quit supplying it for having lost too much money that way. They were persistent, however ,and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won' t make any difference," he said and went on selling shoes and hats. The two miners took $17 worth of sup-plies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the"Pittsburgh Mine," made $1,300,000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for$117,000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $ 35,000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieu-tenant governor of the state.Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPTA.because Tabor became its leading citizenB.because great deposits of lead is expected to be found thereC.because it could bring good fortune to TaborD.because it was renamed47、The word "grubstake" in paragraph 2 meansA.to supply miners with food and suppliesB.to open a general storeC.to do one' s contribution to the development of the mineD.to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered48、Tabor made his first fortuneA.by supplying two prospective miners and getting in return a one-third interest in the findingsB.because he was persuaded by the two miners to quit supplyingC.by buying the shares of the otherD.as a land speculator49、The underlying reason for Tabor' s life career isA.purely accidentalB.based on the analysis of miner' s being very poor and their possibility of discovering profitable mining siteC.through the help from his second wifeD.he planned well and accomplished targets step by step50、If this passage is the first part of an article, who might be introduced in the following part?A.Tabor' s life.B.Tabor' s second wife, Elizabeth McCourt.C.Other colorful characters.D.Tabor' s other careers.51、根据下列材料，请回答51-65题：When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merely a cold. Butwhen the sneezes continued for hours, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl wasstill sneezing, thousands of times a day, and her case had attracted worldwide attention.Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from"put a clothes pin on her nose"to "have her stand on herhead"poured in. But nothing did any good. Finally,she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital whereDr. Leo Kanner, one of the world’s top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling (难以理解的)problem with great speed.He used neither drugs nor surgery, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in anancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in her mind, hesaid, a view which Aristotle, some 3,000 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily.Dr. Kanner simply gave a modem psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too muchsneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; and he began to treat the girl accordingly."Less than two days in a hospital room, a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment,and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer to anex-sneezer," he reported.Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder, awe and puzzlement. Dr. Kanner has collectedthousands of superstitions concerning it. The most universalone is the custom of begging for theblessing of God when a person sneezes a practice Dr. Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that asneeze was an indicationWhen scientists look at the sneeze, they see a remarkable mechanism which, without any con-scious help from you, takes on a job that has to be done. When you need to sneeze you sneeze, thisbeing nature’s clever way of getting rid of an annoying object from the nose. The object may be justsome dust in the nose which nature is striving to remove.The girl sneezed continuously because she ________A.was illB.was mentally illC.had heavy mental burdenD.had attracted world-wide attention52、When the girl began to sneeze continuously,________A.a lot of people offered their adviceB.she was taken to Johns Hopkins HospitalC.she was given a treatment found in ancient superstitionD.many doctors treated her in different ways53、Dr. Kanner cured the girl by________ing Aristotle's methodB.giving her psychological treatmentC.practicing superstitionD.treating her tuberculosis54、When a person sneezes, we say" God bless you" because __________A.it’s a traditionB.the person is possessed of an evil spiritC.the person is illD.God will bless those who sneeze55、According to scientists, people sneeze because________A.they are illB.to sneeze is human natureC.they do not need any conscious helpD.there are unwanted things in their noses56、根据下列材料，请回答56-70题：There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, werealize that although these are the areaswith the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the pastdecade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought healthwarnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobileconcentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels(coal and oil) is creating a "greenhouse effect" conserving heat reflected from the earth and raisingthe world’s average temperature. If this view is correct and the world’s temperature is raised only afew degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, andNew Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blockingsunlight and lowering the earth’s temperature--a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop ofjust a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would make agriculture difficultor impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of theseconditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concludedthat the greenhouse effect is very possible). Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies willoffset each other and the world’s temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by eco-nomic profit, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the "advancedcivilization".Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution________A.caused widespread damage in the countrysideB.affected the entire eastern half of the United StatesC.had damaged effect on healthD.existed merely in urban and industries areas57、As to the greenhouse effect, the author________A.shares the same view with the scientistsB.is uncertain of its occurrenceC.rejects it as being ungroundedD.thinks that it will destroy the world soon58、The word "offset" in the second paragraph could be replaced by________A.slip intoB.make up forC.set upD.catch up with59、It can be concluded that________A.raising the world’s temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earthC.almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decadeD.the world’s temperature will remain constant in the years to come60、This passage is primarily about________A.the greenhouse effectB.the burning of fossil fuelsC.the potential effect of air pollutionD.the likelihood of a new ice ageSECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes)61、根据资料，回答61-65题：Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn' t an easy decision, but we' ve been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We' re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250dollars a week, that' s all. It' s a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown:It' s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable resultpoor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that' s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.Mr. Bob Davis:Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big union shave too much power and shouldn' t be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all?Mrs. Baker:My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That' s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don' t like their jobs, nobody' s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they' d keep their mouths shut then .Miss Siater:Let' s face it. It' s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Per-haps we can' t do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much" ? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It' s just one of those things.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement .Note: there are two extra statements.StatementsA.A 10% increase is already too much, and I' m here to persuade the Union to see reason.B.I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability.D.I think that the government should give in to the electricity workers' demands.E.I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.F.I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.G.We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.Mr. Mike Smith62、Mr. Tom Brown 63、Mr. Bob Davis64、Mrs. Baker65、Miss SlaterSECTION IV Writing Part A(40 minutes)66、You have been entertained by your friend Gao Jie when you stayed in Beijing on vacation.Write a letter to him. Your letter should include:1) thank him for entertaining you2) describe your feeling3) invite him to visit your hometownYou should write approximately 100 words.

Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across theThe dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper butsoft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of huntedcreatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, neverWilliams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days” or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previouslyA curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand.

There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance” and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen ifsomebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to seeBirds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours asseem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow.

It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolicverbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think,rously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fearThere are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches,instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was theirNo fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external56.

For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Markyour answers on your ANSWER SHEET.If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements alwaysmanly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associatedwith the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why botherNow match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate61. Hadley C63.65.

Americans spend most of their lives working. For most Americans, their work defines them. They are what they do. What happensd, then, when a person can no longer work? Most Americans stop working at the age of sixty-five or seventy and retire. Becausework is such an important part of life in American culture, retirement can be very difficult for Americans. Retirees often feel that they are useless and unproductive. Of course, some people are happy to retire, but leaving one’s job, whatever it is, is a difficult change, even for those who look forward to retiring. Retirement can also bring financial problems. Many people depend on Social Security checks every month. During their working years, employees contribute a certain percentage of their salaries to the government. Each employer also gives a certain percentage to the government. When people retire, they receive this money as income. Sometimes these checks do not provide enough money to live on, because prices are prone to increasing, a process known as “inflation”. Seni or citizens, those over sixty-five, typically have to have savings in the bank or other retirement plans to make ends meet. In addition, many senior citizens have to change their lifestyles after retirement. They have to spend carefully to be sure that they can afford to buy food, fuel and other necessities(必需品). Of course, many senior citizens are happy with their retirement. They have time to spend with their families or to enjoy their hobbies. Some continue to work part-time, others do volunteer work. Some, like those in the Retired BusinessExecutives Association, even help young people to start new businesses. Many retired citizens also belong to “Golden Age” groups. These organizations plan trips and social events. There are many other opportunities for retirees.1、Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice.Work is a very important part of life in the United States.

Have you seen films in which a train crashed or a ship sank into the ocean? If so, you may have wondered how these things could happen without harming the people in the film. The person who knows the answer is the “special-effects” person. He has one of the most important jobs in the film industry. In a scene for one movie there was a big glass bowl filled with the water in which small fishwere swimming. The director of the movie wanted the fish to stop swimming suddenly while they seemed to stare at the actor. Then the director wanted the fish to stop staring and swim away. This was quite a challenge, since fish generally can’t be forced to do anything. The special-effects person thought about this problem for a long time. The result was an idea for controlling the fish using of electricity. First he applied electricity to the fish bowl, causing the fish to be absolutely still. Then he rapidly reduced the amount of electricity, allowing the fish to swim away. Thus, he got the humorous effect that the director wanted without harming the fish. As in other parts of movie making, there are people who have developed particular skill in creating all kinds of effects. Jim White, who has been a special-effects specialist for thirty-two years, is best known for work with ships and airplanes. Calmly he builds and crashes airplane; or sends tiny models of ships on dangerous voyages. For a movie about World War Ⅱ, he built a boat which was a copy of a real ship. The copy was made of wood and was 165 feet long. As it sailed along at a speed of seven sea miles an hour in the Pacific Ocean, it seemed so real that a United States military airplane flew down near it, trying to discover which country owned it.All special effectsproduction requires training, skill, and experience. It also can add a great deal to the expense of producing the film.1、Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.Have you ever seen a movie in which a building was burned down or a bridge was destroyed?

全国公共英语三级备考冲刺试题及答案全国公共英语三级备考冲刺试题及答案Experience is the mother of wisdom.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的全国公共英语三级备考冲刺试题及答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!Section II Reading( 50 minutes)Part ADirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Mistakes are the things that nobody wants, but we still make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. Some are about work or jobs. But most mistakes are about people."Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And why didn't Andy pick up that I was friendly just because 1 had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. We need to listen and think for some time. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog" that's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little, what he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck."Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you'tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.26. This passage is mainly aboutA. how to interpret what people sayB. what to do when you listen to others talkingC. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with peopleD. why we go wrong with people sometimes27. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .A. we fail to listen carefully when they talkB. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC. people usually state one thing but means anotherD. we tend to doubt what our friends say28. In the sentence "Maybe he doesn't see it himself" in the second paragraph, the pronoun"it" refers to .A. being friendlyB. a bit of envyC. lucky dogD. your luck29. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is .A. notice the way the person is talkingB. take a good look at the person talkingC. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyesD. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture30. The author most probably is a .A. teacherB. philosopherC. psychologistD. doctorText 2SMS (Short Message Service) gradually becomes the main service for cell phone users for its great charming. In addition, the development of mobile communications technology and service has created favorable condition for SMS. For example, MMS, multi-media messaging service, is a new type of message service on the basis of SMS. It allows transmission of multi-media messages between cell phone and computer, as well as between cell phones. Communication with SMS is quite convenient. You can write a message after carefully thinking what you want to say with many words without worrying about money. Actually, SMS enjoys the absolute majority utilizationamong mobile service. In China, the number of short message transmitted is 2,200 billion in 2003.People, however, feel angry and anxious sometimes while enjoying SMS. More and more rubbish short messages that contain such content as erotic, gambling, or advertising are sentto cell phone users, which seriously violated the user's privacy. Because the sender of these rubbish short messages do not take into ——account whether people need them or not, and do not get the permission from users to transmit these rubbish short messages to them.As we know, everyone has the right to communication freely with other people, and the right to refuse communication with people they don't like to. But these rights were not guaranteed in SMS. Users do not receive rubbish short messages on a voluntary basis. If you fell angry and disgusted with some rubbish message to your cell phone, and do not want to see it again, that means such message is in contradiction with your wish, and violates your privacy. MMS also promote the transmission of unhealthy information on the Internet from computer to cell phone, which must extend the scope and influence of rubbish short message.The rapid development of mobile communications may suffer a lot if there is no change in the way of transmitting SMS. More and more users of cell phone are disturbed by rubbish short messages, and their privacy is violated by mobile communications service, which is also not a benefit for the development of mobile communications service.31. has created a good condition for SMS.A. Multi-media messaging serviceB. Mobile communications technologyC. Mobile communications serviceD. Mobile communications technology and service32. By MMS, short messages can be transmitted except between .A. cell phonesB. computersC. cell phone and computerD. mobile phone and computer33. People sometimes don't enjoy SMS because .A. SMS also sends rubbish short messagesB. SMS violates their privacyC.SMS does not consider whether people need it or notD. SMS doesn't get people's permission to send them messages34. MMS may violate people's privacy because .A. SIMS doesn't take measures to forbidden itB.SMS doesn't guarantee people's privacyC. it makes rubbish short messages transmission easierD. it extends the scope and influence of rubbish short message35. From the text we know that .A. people should refuse rubbish short messagesB. SMS should think of a way to get rid of rubbish short messagesC. MMS should not allow people to send messages from the Internet to cell phonesD. SMS benefits from rubbish short messagesPartAText l篇章分析本文是一篇议论文。
