2014年公共英语考试三级模拟题(3)
Section ⅢReading Comprehension (40 minutes)Part ADirections:Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The 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 but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams 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 previously undelivered.A 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. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?[A] He was delighted to show them off.[B] He did his best but was not often successful.[C] He did them quickly to get them over.[D] He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?[A] They are the fastest runners of all dogs.[B] Their teeth are removed when they are young.[C] They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.[D] They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .[A] he did not get enough sleep[B] there was an oily smell from his clothes[C] the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train[D] the dog was confused about the time of the day49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .[A] Williams had to go to work at night[B] the dog made too much noise in the house[C] Williams made them all get up early[D] the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .[A] he trusted the dog to find the wallet[B] he was unconscious all that time[C] he thought the wallet was in the house[D] he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. 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—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights offlares 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 if somebody 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 see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. 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 as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem 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. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .[A] some may see everything in shades of green[B] few can tell the difference between blue and green[C] few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green[D] very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.[A] colours only[B] shapes and colours[C] shapes only[D] darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.[A] because they hunt at night[B] because they cannot see light[C] because they have no cones and rods[D] because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.[A] as well as human beings can not see some colours[B] have fewer cones than human beings[C] have less rods than human beings[D] can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?[A] Insects can see more colours than human beings.[B] Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.[C] All insects have their favorite colours.[D] The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. 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, sadisticimpulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, 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 their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .[A] cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it[B] will be more effective if it is adapted by parents[C] must be made easy so that children can read it on their own[D] is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that .[A] fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children[B] fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent[C] fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children[D] children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.[A] told only once[B] repeated many times[C] told in a realistic setting[D] presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .[A] have a very bad effect on children[B] have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity[C] help children to come to terms with fears[D] harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?[A] If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of beingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.[B] Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.[C] Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.[D] Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco 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.SampsonThe 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 always depict handsome, clean shaven young men.They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums 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.BerniceSmoking 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 bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.62. Randy63. Sampson64. Rowley65. BerniceStatements[A] Smoking brings many psychological benefits.[B] Tobacco is an important source of income to the government.[C] Smoking is sure to cause diseases.[D] It's a short sighted policy to depend on tobacco for money.[E] The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful.[F] The tobacco industry makes high quality advertisement for smoking.[G] It's doubtful whether there is link between smoking and cancer.参考答案Section Ⅲ46.

2014年9月公共英语考试(三级)模拟冲刺试题Section I Listening Comprehension(25 minutes) (略)Section Ⅱ Use of English(15 minutes)Directions:Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B,C, or Don your ANSWER SHEET 1.TextMost young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 .If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches”37 “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may38 , obviously, there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.26. [A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of27.

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

2013年12月三级试题答案Part I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 CCDBA 6-10 AAACDSection B11-15 BCABC 16-20 DADAASection CThe roots of Canadian English can be found in the events which follow the American Revolution of 1776. Those who had supported Britain found themselves unable to stay in the new United States, and most went to the Ontario region of Canada. From there they spread to all parts of the country. They were soon followed by many thousands who were attracted by the cheapness of land. Within fifty years, the population of Upper Canada had reached 100,000-- mainly people from the United Sates.In the east, the Atlantic Provinces had been settled with English speakers much earlier. But even today these areas contain less than 10 percent of the population, so that they have only a minor role in the development of Canadian ‘norm’. In Quebec, the use of French language and culture remains from the first period of exploration, with the majority of people using French as the mother tongue : here English and French coexist uneasily.Because of its origins, Canadian English has a great deal in common with the rest of the English spoken in North America--and it’s often difficult to distinguish for people who live outside the region. To British people, Canadians may sound American; to Americans, they may sound British. Canadians themselves insist on not being identified with either, and certainly there is a great deal of evidence in support of this view.21. supported22. spread23. cheapness24. reached25. even26. minor27. remains28. using French as the mother tongue29. it’s often difficult to distinguish for people30. not being identified with either76. 【答案】Network77. 【答案】All kinds of information78. 【答案】communication79. 【答案】their personal information80. 【答案】They have to be careful。

Several hospitals in the United States are now experimenting with acupuncture as a way of treating pain.An American journalist who stood beside a patient during an operation in Shanghai recently described the process and its effects. T o keep the patient from feeling pain during the operation, four needles were used, each about an inch and a half long. Two needles were ed under the skin on each side of the patient's neck. The top of the needles were attached to wires which led to a small electrical device.Throughout the operation the patient talked calmly to those standing around him, insisting that he felt perfectly normal.How does acupuncture work? How is it able to keep a patient from feeling pain? No very satisfactory answer has been given, but there are at least three theories.Some doctors believe that acupuncture somehow produces an effect upon the central nervous system. Others believe that acupuncture produces a chemical change in the body's fluids. Still another theory is that the needles make contact with an unknown system of energy in the body which travels along certain routes under the skin. The true explanation may be one of these or a combination of more than one. Or it may be something entirely different.11.How long has acupuncture been practised in China?A.For nearly 2,000 years.B.For 200 years.C.For about 200 years.D.For over 2,000 years.12.What are doctors in the United States doing with acupuncture?A.

It is true that all of us need recreation. We cannot work all the time if we are going to maintain good health, and enjoy life. Good physical and mental health in fact enables us to work more efficiently. Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to participate in sports. There are team sports, such as baseball, basketball and football. There are individual sports, also, such as golf and swimming. In addition, hiking, fishing, skiing and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors. Not everyone who enjoys sporting events likes to participate in them. Many people prefer to be spectators, either by attending the games in person, watching them on television, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match, it is almost impossible to get tickets: everyone wants to attend. Chess, card-playing, and dancing are forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people. It doesn’t matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong, concentrate over the bridge table, or go walking through the woods on a brisk autumn afternoon. II is important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some form of recreation. A. maintain B. woods C. bridge D. individual E. events F. participatingG. dull1．Some sports are for teams to play; others are for ______.正确答案：D解析：参考第二段第三和第四句话。

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAmericans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family.Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children.“There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,”says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce?A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage.B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason.C. Less and less people plan to get married.D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage.24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________.A. it is better to have mothers at homeB. almost no attention is paid to themC. no less attention is paid to themD. a lot of time is spent playing gamespared with nonworking mothers, working mothers________.A. spare less time to stay with their childrenB. do more educational activities with childrenC. do very little simple physical houseworkD. avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage ThreeCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27. According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on _________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28. What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe(部落) is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time.Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.31. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B. He belonged to the same tribe with the manager.C. He didn’t belong to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.32. The situation in the first paragraph is an example of_______.A. the difficulty of getting a job in AfricaB. the disagreement on tribalism among AfricansC. the great numbers of tribes in AfricaD. the importance of tribalism in Africa33. What might be the common attitudes of Westerners towards tribalism?A. positiveB. indifferentC. negativeD. none of the above34. According to the article, which of the following is NOT an evidence of tribalism?A. Sergeants maintain security in his own tribe.B.Politicians choose men from his own tribe as intimate advisers.C. Military leaders promote fellow tribesmen to higher positions.D. Managers give jobs to fellow tribesmen.35. What would be the future of tribalism?A. It will soon be destroyed by modern politicians.B. It will remain as strong as it is today and never be changed.C. It will gradually disappear as the society develops.D. It will speed up further division of tribes.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Above all, it offers people freedom to go wherever and whenever they want to go. The basic purpose of a motor vehicle is to get from point A to point B as cheaply, quickly, and safely as possible. However, to most people, cars are also personal fantasy machines that serve as symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and adventure.In addition, much of the world ' s economy is built on producingmotor supplying roads, services, and repairs for those vehicles. Half of the world' s paychecks are auto related. In the United States, one of every six dollars spent and one of every six non-farm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries, such as oil, steel, rubber, plastics, automobile services, and highway construction.In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land, and wildlife resources. The automobile may be the most destructive machine ever invented. Though we tend to deny it, riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives.Since 1885, when Karl Benz built the first automobile, almost 18 million people have been killed by motor vehicles. Every year, cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250,000 people－as many as were killed in the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki－and injure or permanently disable ten million more. Half of the world ' s people will be involved in an auto accident at some time during their lives.Since the automobile was introduced, almost three million Americans have been killed on the highways－about twice the number of Americans killed on the battlefield in all U.S. wars. In addition to the tragic loss of life, these accidents cost American society about $60 billion annually in lost income and in insurance, administrative, and legal expenses.Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestrians and people riding bicycles in the streets are subjected to noise, pollution, stress, and danger.Motor vehicles are the largest source of air pollution, producing a haze of smog over the world ' s cities. In the United States, they produce at least 50% of the country's air pollution.46. Cars represent people' s _________.A.occupationB.identityC.life styleD.fame47.
