III Reading Comprehension Part A(40 minutes)Text 146、根据下列材料，请回答46-60题：In 1997, 25 Japanese citizens, all older than 60, launched Jeeba (the name means "old man and old woman") to make senior-friendly products．They knew they were making history when they coined their company motto : "Of the elderly, by the elderly and for the elderly" They do not hire young people, and the oldest of their workers is 75．Firms run by senior citizens are still a rarity, in Japan and worldwide．But the elderly have numbers on their side．Healthier and longer-living seniors, born immediately after World War II,are reaching retirement age in huge numbers all over the developed world．Extremely low birthrates in those same countries mean there are far fewer young workers to take their place．One likely consequence is now clear: shrinking work forces．While the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing shortage of young workers．One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, whether they like it or not．Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages．Others are under severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Commission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a growing contribution from the elderly．Whether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on whether they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread．In the United States, half of working-age Americans now expect to work into their 70s, whether by financial necessity or by lifestyle choice, according to a new study by Putnam Investments．Contrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that companies cannot stay competitive with a rising share of older workers．At 13ritish hardware chain B&Q, its "elder worker" stores in Manchester and Exmouth were 18 percent more profitable than its regular outlets--due in part, the company says, to six times less employee turnover and 60 percent less shoplifting and breakage．46、Jeeba' s difference from a conventional company mainly lies inA．the age of its employeesB．the number of its ownersC．the quality of its productsD．the scope of its operations47、In the developed world, compared with young people, the elderlyA．are better at businessB．are greater in numberC．have healthier lifestylesD．have more job opportunities48、According to the writer, in the current situation companies are faced with the tough task of A．creating good positionsB．employing retired workersC．filling vacant positionsD．replacing unskilled workers49、For future prosperity, many European countries will have toA．increase the number of young workersB．offer many senior-friendly jobsC．improve services for seniorsD．raise their retirement ages50、B&Q' s "elder worker" stores are mentioned to show that the employment of older work-ers A．does not reduce a company' s competitivenessB．does not affect older workers' lifestyle ChoicesC．is not a usual practice among competitive firmsD．is not good news to those who are eager to retireText 2根据下列材料，请回答51-65题：Here' s how I want to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics．I want to go to a Web site to see any event I want, whenever I want to watch it, on whatever screen I choose．I' 11 gladly pay．The technology exists to make this happen today．Yet nearly two decades after the introduction of the World Wide Web, this remains a fantasy NBC, which broadcasted the Vancouver Olympics in the United States, wouldn' t put videos on its Web site until they had been shown on prime-time TV．So Americans had the weird experience of learning from a news report during the day that something fantastic had just happened, and then having to wait until that night' s broadcast to see it．Bloggers complained, but NBC wouldn' t give way．Its research shows that people like me, who want to watch the Olympics online, represent only 7 percent of the total audience．The other, bigger concern is: the Internet doesn' t deliver any money．Advertisers remain willing to pay big money to show their commercials on prime-time TV．But on the Internet? Not so much．So NBC clings to the old way of doing things．As it sees it, the prime-time show is the most important．To make matters worse, NBC was already expecting to lose $ 250 million on the 2010 Vancouver Games．Good luck persuading it to invest in a risky Web project．It's easy to blame the network executives．But the NBC guys and their like are only doing what makes sense．They're going where the money is．That needs to change．Yes, selling reporting of Olympic events over the Internet would drain away some of the prime-time audience, but my sense is many of the online subscribers would still watch the prime-time show．And over time, the subscription dollars could become a substantial rev- enue stream．Instead of viewing the Internet as a threat to prime time, the TV networks should see the Web as a way to sell even more of their product to a small but passionate subset of their audi-ence．I' m hoping that by 2014, that will have changed．51、According to the writer, watching the Olympics online as one likesA．is technologically impossibleB．is still denied to the audienceC．has been a dream for 20 yearsD．will no longer be free in 201452、We learn that what Americans saw about the Vancouver OlympicsA．was unavailable onlineB．differed from the newsC．seemed weird to themD．was first shown on TV53、Bloggers complained about NBC' sA．neglect of those in the minorityB．excessive online advertisementsC．delay in providing videos onlineD．limited reporting on sports news54、After the 2010 Vancouver Games, NBC is likely toA．improve its prime-time showB．continue its current practiceC．raise its price for advertisingD．try its luck in a web program55、The writer thinks the TV networks should view the Web as a potential to help them to A．make dramatic profitsB．develop new productsC．satisfy their subscribersD．divide prime-time revenuesText 3根据下列材料，请回答56-70题：One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter' s kindergarten report card．She got high praise for her reading, vocabulary and overall enthusiasm．On the other hand, we learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her efforts．A number system indicates how she' s measuring up in each area without any mention of passing or failing．All of which seems to make my daughter' s school neither fish nor fowl when it comes to thedebate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids．At one level, the advantages and disadvantages are obvious．A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing at school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children．But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, "Grades can deceive．" The aim should be "to measure learning, not simply what a student can recall on a test．" The two aren' t the same--and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high school-level examinations．If you' re old enough, you' ve lived through this debate before．At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided．The intention behind that may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the will to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition．This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different rea-sons．The thing is, that approach is much more commonplace in the adult workplace than is the traditional pass-fail system we place on our children．Many workplaces conduct regular employee evaluations．There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those evaluations-and even then, negative evaluations can be challenged by the employee．No matter where you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it' s so good for kids, why isn't that also true for adults?56、The school report indicates that the writer' s daughterA．lacks interest in her school workB．ranks among the best at languageC．has some trouble with her handwritingD．needs to improve in math and computer skills57、We can learn that the girl' s school tries to deliver the reportA．in a positive wayB．in a scientific wayC．in an attractive wayD．in an enthusiastic way58、Sue Ferguson seems dissatisfied with the grade system for its focus onA．the process of getting the knowledgeB．the capability of memorizing for the testC．the procedure of measuring learningD．the standard of comparing schools59、The writer would agree that cutting children off from competition isA．fit for human developmentB．fit for their age and experienceC．against a key part of human natureD．out of consideration for children60、It can be learned that today's educators supporting the no-grades approach insist that A．kids be allowed to challenge the negative evaluationsB．the traditional teacher-student relationship be changedC．the evaluation system for kids be similar to that for adultsD．strict rules be set up in evaluating school childrenSECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes)61、根据下列材料，请回答61-65题：Directions:Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions in response to an article on the issue of praising．For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1．Mike :Praise often and sincerely--it' s as simple as that．Employees want to feel needed and appreci-ated．By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you' ll go far in creating an energetic team．Meanwhile, I don't agree with the assertion that "to focus on what needs im-proving isn' t good management．" In fact, it' s the balance of praise along with constructive criti-cism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher．Frank:This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood, especially for the new generation of workers, my generation．We don' t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark to work．My generation needs respect in return from our employer, we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it' s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job．Joyce :One skill missing in today's workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships．At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback．"How am I doing?" is a ques-tion that should be answered consistently．When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader--build skills, provide feedback and help the em-ployee grow and develop．Ellen:I don' t see a problem with praising employees when it' s truly deserved ( insincere praise isan entirely different story)．It' s a cost-free "benefit", if you will, in that it allows employees to see that their efforts are both noticed and valued．In the work world there are always people available to tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told that they've done something right!Diana:Praise what the employee did．Be specific about why it was helpful．An employee who contin-ually earns your praise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior．Mean-ingful praise encourages people beyond anything else．Written comments are available for later re-view．They give them confidence that they can "do it again．" I never regretted praising an employ-ee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity．Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statementNote: there are two extra statements．Statements：[A]Praise combined with criticism is helpful．[B] Praise can bring about many kinds of desired behavior．[C] Employees may feel it hard to accept．insincere praise．[D] Let employees know exactly for what they are praised．[E] In my opinion, we are not generous enough to give praise．[F] Employees need helpful advice on a regular basis．[G] Money alone cannot guarantee a sense of career fulfillment for me．61、Mike62、Frank63、Joyce64、Ellen65、Diana第二部分英语知识运用参考译文我想要什么?这是个非常简单的问题；虽然我们很多人都不能确定。

However, I' m 37 in the minority．Most Englishmen have their local, where they can escape from the 38 of family life or work, and if they are 39 , tell their troubles to a pretty barmaid. 40 , many men dream of retiring from their nine-to-five jobs and 41 a little country pub, where they imagine they' ll be the 42 of a seven-nights-a-week party．This 43 usually dies when they think of having to clean up spilled beer at one o' clock in the morning. Still, there' s a pub for every type of man, and a man for every type of pub．And I must 44 that, for someone who doesn' t like them, I' ve 45 a lot of time in pubs of various kinds.26、 A．After all B．In addition C．As a result D．For example27、 A．favorite B．proper C．formal D．exclusive28、 A．by B．over C．upon D．to29、 A．forms B．influences C．occupies D．troubles30、 A．lawful B．meaningful C．impressive D．respectable31、 A．accompany B．comfort C．encourage D．support32、 A．how B．when C．where D．why33、 A．forced B．enabled C．intended D．claimed34、 A．narrow B．noble C．practical D．personal35、 A．also B．hence C．yet D．only36、 A．existence B．experience C．interest D．incident37、 A．naturally B．normally C．obviously D．oddly38、 A．needs B．objectives C．pressures D．requirements39、 A．careful B．honest C．doubtful D．lucky40、 A．Still B．Indeed C．Thus D．Nevertheless41、 A．decorating B．buying C．designing D．visiting42、 A．host B．member C．servant D．sponsor43、 A．hobby B．project C．habit D．dream44、 A．recognize B．remember C．believe D．admit45、 A．found B．recovered C．spent D．saved SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part A(40 minutes) 根据下列材料，请回答46-60题： Text 1 Researchers at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California found that a 12-minute bed-side visit with a dog can help ease anxiety levels by 24 percent in heart failure patients, compared to a 10 percent drop when patients had a visit from a human volunteer, and no drop in patients who had no visit. Results of the 76-patient study were presented last week at the American Heart Association' s annual Scientific Sessions in Dallas, Texas. The study was funded by the Pet Care Trust Founda-tion, a non-profit organization which promotes human-animal interaction and bonding. In the stud-y, effects of dog and volunteer visits were compared with those of volunteers only, and with patients who had no visits and remained at rest. Heart pressures were monitored and patients were asked to answer a list of anxiety assessment questions before and after the visits. Although critical pressure measures also decreased, suggesting improved cardiac function, the most marked response was seen in anxiety levels. "The first thing you notice is that the patient' s facial expression ,changes to a smile and the stress of the world seems to be lifted off their shoulders," study author Kathy Cole said. Feelings of depression and helplessness are common among heart patients, Cole said, and just three nights in a hospital is enough to make some patients feel anxious and unsettled. During the visit, the furry friend is allowed to lie on the bed next to the patient with its head within two feet of the patient' s. Most patients petted the dog, whileothers engaged human volunteers in conversation about the dog. Dogs used in the study are specially trained animal-assisted therapy dogs that undergo a series of trainings, evaluations and certifications to qualify as therapy dogs. Dog breeds varied. Research-ers used everything from Bernese mountain dogs to small schnauzers. However, a dog doesn't have to be specially trained to have a calming effect on its human counterparts. In fact, the animal doesn' t even have to be a dog in order to help. "As long as the animal has meaning to the patient, or a relationship with the patient, it can help calm the patient," Cole said.46、We learn from the text that heart patients benefit most from visits A．by a volunteer with a dog B．by a volunteer on his own C．by a well-trained dog alone D．by a non-profit organization47、 The study shows that, for heart patients, A．their anxiety is reduced if they stay longer in hospital B．their contact with animals improves their condition C．their heart pressure decreases if they remain at rest D．their recovery relies on contact with animals48、 According to Cole, the change of patients' facial expression indicates that A．they are happy with the experiment B．they are psychologically comforted C．their hospitalization may be shortened D．their heart function is returning to normal49、 Cole believes that dogs are helpful to the patients if A．they are limited to certain breeds B．they are specially trained ones C．they have meaning to them D．they stay with them all day50、 This report focuses on A．the healing power of animals B．the treatment of heart disease C．the relationship between dogs and humans D．the promotion of human-animal interaction 根据下列材料，请回答51-65题： Text 2 In many respects, Katsura Okiyama is a typical Japanese woman in her 20s. She enjoys spend-ing time with her friends and loves Disney. But, less typically, she is a writer. And, quite excep-tionally, her medium is a cell phone. In Japan, not only are people reading novels on their cell phones; they're also writing novels with them--uploading SMS-length chapters to specialist websites where they are in turn downloaded to the phones of millions of readers. The most popular are printed as books and sell in the hundreds of thousands. In book form, K, Okiyama' s first cell-phone novel, is 235 pages long. "I think I was writing 20 pages in two hours per day at the most, and it took me almost a month," she says. Although she was used to writing around 100 text messages daily, Okiyama never expected that thumbing her keypad would enable her to become one of the country' s hot new writers. "I had never written a story," she says. "I never had the idea of how a real novel should be, so that might be why I could do it. " "Cell-phone novels are created and consumed by a generation of young people in Japan that demands to be heard," says John Possman, an entertainment consultant. "It is truly pop culture. It has also become big business, shaking up a publishing industry whose sales have been declining for a decade. " Individual voices are hard to find, however. As dictated by the medium, the language of cell-phone novels is simple and peppered with emoticons--signs that represent various attitudes or emo-tions. Dialogue and description are scarce. Subject matter is always the same. Typically, a heroine loses her first love and then later struggles to find love again. "The stories are often told in the first person and lack diversity," agrees Possman. But that hasn't been a problem with consumers yet. "Why don't you write a novel and move me?" read one angry schoolgirl' s recent online post, in response to a fierce opponent of cell-phone novels. So far, Japan' s literary establishment hasn' t come up with an answer.51、In Japan, cell-phone writers A．upload their stories bit by bit to websites B．pay to have their novels printed as books C．spend almost one month to finish a novel D．send SMS-length texts to readers'phones52、 According to Katsura Okiyama, she is able to write because A．she has an insight into literature B．she has training in storytelling C．she is skilled in text messaging D．she is free from literary rules53、 According to John Possman, the Japanese publishing industry A．is pushed forward by the pop culture B．is strengthened by cell-phone novels C．has been shrinking for many years D．has been creating a generation of young readers54、 We learn from the text that cell-phone novels" A．feature moving dialogues B．have different writing styles C．lack variety in subject matter D．encourage readers to read others55、 It can be inferred that Japan' s literary establishment can' t A．settle the dispute between the two sides B．compete with cell-phone novels C．adapt to the new technologies D．change their writing styles 根据下列材料，请回答56-70题： Text 3 Too many people fear failure. Some of us let it keep us from trying new things, telling ourselves we' d be no good at it. Some limit our goals to only what we feel absolutely sure we can accomplish. Others among us try something once and when it doesn't work out, we decide that course is not for us.That' s unfortunate because, according to many top scientists, failure is nothing to fear. Not only is it inevitable, they say, it is even an indispensable ally. "In the research lab," says John Polanyi, the Nobel prize-winning chemist," failure is a good thing. If everything you try is very successful, it means you' re playing it safe; you' re not out on the edge. Failure means that you' re learning. To ask a scientist whether he has experienced failure is like asking an artist whether he has ever made a sketch. The answer is, ' a million times. ' That is the price of success. " Failure is not the opposite of success. It' s more like an ingredient. In Hollywood, thousands of ideasfor new TV shows are pitched each year, but only a select few get to the screen, let alone survive their first season. In real life, misses outnumber hits whenever people try something new.Nina Spencer, a motivational speaker and author of Getting Passion out of Your Profession, likes to remind audiences that whenever we try a new skill, we go through four stages. "There' s the point when you don' t know about the skill, and because you don' t know about it, you' re no good at it. Eventually, you come to know about the skill, but you' re incompetent to perform it. Then, as long as you think carefully and go slowly, you can do it. Eventually, it becomes so practiced, it' s easy. " The secret is not to give up at stage two. In short, the seeds of success almost always flourish best in the well-turned soil of failure. As Charles Kettering, inventor of the modem electric ignition system for cars and the holder of nearly 200 patents, once said, "failures, repeated failures, are finger-posts on the road to achievements-- one fails forward towards success. "56、According to John Polany, a seemingly all-time successful person may in fact A．be very adventurous B．be very competitive C．be very sensitive D．be very cautious57、 The Hollywood example is used to show that to succeed you should A．avoid mistakes B．live with failures C．avoid competition D．live with new ideas58、 When it comes to trying new things, people should know it is natural that A．success results from trial and error B．they might miss something important C．success requires safety guarantees D．they will hit more than they miss59、 According to Nina Spencer, the key to acquiring a new skill lies in A．practice B．persistence C．competence D．performance60、 The writer of the text wants to tell people not to A．be frightened by failure B．repeat the same failure C．underestimate failure D．be misled by failure SECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes) 根据下列材料，请回答61-65题： Charles Swecker: Thank you for getting it right in your articles on how to make a better student. As an educator, I' m sure I speak for others in saying parents who encourage learning at home ultimately have kids who perform at a higher level in class. School systems have been trying to get that message out for years. Imagine, excellent teachers working with students who have a drive and desire to learn. What a perfect world! Sandy Simonson: The students you pictured have positive attitudes; they expect to work hard on their own. Con-sequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We' ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they' ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible. Bridget Boyle : Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading be-comes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television was the best thing we ever did.

The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural preference, not an economic one. Knowing our own psychological space needs is important because they strongly influence your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two child. family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you also will provide separate bedrooms for them. In America they train people to have their own private rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many cultures the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in a small bed near his parents' bed.The area in the home also reveals a lot about psychological space needs. Although it is true that psychological space needs are not determined by economic factors, they sometimes have to be limited a little because of economic pressures.It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.答案及解析 第一部分听力1．D 2．D 3．B 4．C 5．C 6．A 7．D8．D9．A10．D 11．D 12．B 13．A l4．A15．D16．B17．C18．D 19．D 20．A 21．C 22．D23．A24．C25．A1～25题解析略。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1I'd been living with my wife for eight years and one night “mor “I guess you guys are never gonna get married. I mean, you've been throughjail together, you' e living together, but.., oh, forget it.”I said, “put i t like that and I'll marry your daughter“Oh, w ell,” tomorrow.”Actually, I don't know what we were waiting for, except that for a guyit's never the right time to get married. I' m also suspicious of any two peoplewho don' t struggle with that decision. Part of my problem was that I was stilllusting in my heart after other ladies. But somehow I knew that I wasn't goingto find another woman remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife. It's a goodthing my mother-in-law finally spoke up.I finally gathered my courage one day when we were having a picnic,and popped the question. I also gave my wife a big tourist pamphlet about Switzerland. I wasn't taking any chances.She said no.It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my appetite. Our dog juststared at me, thinking, “If you're not going to eat your lunch, I will.yes.”I said, “But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say“Switzerland,” she said, “is filled with precise, humorlesspeople.” “Ma ybe I should have suggested P aris?”For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans would rate a solid “maybe”. But she said no again.When we woke up the next morning, she toldme that she'd slept on my proposal. “I guess I was a little rude to you last she explained. Meanwhile, I' m figuring I' m off the hook for thisnight,” marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be generous.“I asked, you said no. It's okay,” I said. I might have looked a little too relieved because l ater that day she gave me a little box. Inside was a goldwatch. On the back was inscribed. “Yes. I've reconsidered.”I liked the watch, so I did the right thing.46.The reason why the man had waited so long was that he .[ A ] didn' t think eight years was long enough[ B ] suspected that husband and wife would often quarrel[ C ] didn' t think he was ready to propose to her[ D ] was waiting for his mother-in-law' s approval47.The man proposed to the woman because .[ A] he realized he could find no other woman better[ B ] he was afraid that the woman might leave him[ C ] he was eager to visit Switzerland with the woman[ D ] he could finally overcome his fear for marriage48.By saying “I could afford to be generous.” (third paragraph from t bottom) the man implied that he .[ A ] wouldn' t care too much if he stayed single[ B ] could take her to a better place than Paris[ C ] was rich enough to support his wife[ D ] didn't care what she thought about his proposalimplied he .49.The last sentence “I did the right thing”[ A ] traveled with his wife[ B ] had a successful marriage[ C ] liked the watch very much[ D ] waited for another eight years50.The best title for this text would be .[ A ] How My Mother-In-Law Helped Me[ B ] How I Received a Gold Watch I Liked[ C ] How I Made My Wife Travel With Me[ D ] How I Came to Marry-My WifeText 2“Hi there. How's it going?”“Oh, fine. Fine. How about this weather, huh ?” “Well, I guess we can always use the rain.”What's that? This story ? Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know,those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day,Maybe you' re waiting for the elevator.Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter abouttraffic doesn' t do much more than fill the air with empty words that arequickly forgotten. But you should know that small talk actually has a bigplace in our lives.Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, “Left unchecke talk can be an invasion. It's so powerful. It does something to you.”“Everymorning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day withsmall talk with my secretary,” Oliver says, “If I don't make small connec with another person, I can' t work.”What causes it? As a rule, you' re either trying to force something intoyour life, or you' re using conversation as an invisible force field to keepthem out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talkis your introduction to more meaningful conversation.The way people use small talk is usually determined by where theyhappen to be at the time.Take the elevator, for instance. Now there's prime territory. Nobodyknows anyone and there's no reason to start a conversation, but invariably,someone does. Making conversation in such peaceful social settings,feeling likedaccording to Oliver, “can confirm your territory. It's a way ofand accepted.”The topics of small talk don't matter. In fact, you don't want anythingmore taxing than the weather or the traffic. It's non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when you're withlots of people doing lots of talking.Let's say you're at a party. Now it' s time to use small talk as a way ofmaking others feel more comfortable around you, so you don' t look sillystanding by the food table alone all night.51.“Small talk”, as interpreted bythe author, .[ A ] has no real function in communication at all[ B ] is usually meaningless and therefore useless[ C ] is not as idle as it may seem to be[ D ] is restricted to certain topics only52.According to the author, small talk is often used .[ A ] to invade other' s private affairs[ B ] to share a secret between intimate friends[ C ] to open and maintain channels of communication[ D ] to protect one' s own privacy53.According to the author, topics of small talk may include commentson .[ A ] some political issues[ B ] one' s physical condition[ C ] other' s ways of dress[ D ] the traffic jam-threatening talk in a threatening54.Why is small talk described as “nonsituation”？[ A] It is used by people to encourage those who are confronted with danger.[ B ] It is used to show that one is enthusiastic and hospitable.[ C ] It is used to create a more friendly atmosphere and to avoid embarrassment.[ D ] It is used by people to protect others in the threatening situation.55.According to the author, at a big party, small talk is used with the purpose of .[ A ] making both others and yourself feel at ease[ B ] excluding those you don't like from joining you[ C ] keeping your voice low so only your friends can hear you[ D ] comforting those who feel lonelyText 3Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money. The back of allThe commonly used coins are: dollar bills are green (hence “greenbacks”).one cent (penny ), five cents (nickel), 10 cents(dime), and 25 cents (quarter).50 pieces (half dollar) and silver dollars (not really silver anymore) are gaining in usage, while there has been talk of phasing out the penny that's inflation for you. “Always c arry plenty of quarters when travelling. Very useful for phones, soda machines, laundry machines, etc.”There is generally no problem in using US dollars in Canada, but this is never possible in reverse.It's useful always to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not carry large sums of cash. Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers' cheques which can be purchased both in the US and abroad and should be in dollar denominations. The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places. Thomas Cook travellers' cheques are also acceptable,especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies. Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank: use them instead to pay for meals, supermarket purchases or whatever. Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you' 11 be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bills. Be prepared to show I.D. when you cash your cheques.Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers' cheques, as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car--indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. The major credit cards are VISA, Master Charge and Access, Diners Club and American Express. If you hold a bank card, it could well be worthwhileto increase your credit limit for travel purposes--you should ask your bank manager.56.Why is it useful to carry enough 25-cent coins with you?[ A ] They can act as small change for the-exact bus fares.[ B ] There is- generally no problem in using them in Canada.[ C ] As a basic unit of money, they are gradually gaining in usage.[ D ] They may come in handy for pay phones or laundry machines.57.It is not necessary to carry cash instead of dollar travellers' cheques because the latter can be .[ A ] used for phones, bus fares and hotel reservations[ B ] used to pay in restaurants and big stores[ C ] used like credit cards, even in remote areas[ D ] exchanged easily, even at car rental companies58.The phrase ,in lieu of? (line 2, paragraph 4) most probably means .[ A ] on behalf of[ B ] in line with[ C ] with regard to[ D ] instead of59.Which of the following statements is TRUE?[ A ] Credit cards have more advantages than travellers' cheques.[ B ] Dollar bills are as convenient as credit cards.[ C ] One-cent coins have been withdrawn from circulation.[ D ] You can increase your credit limit as you like.60.This passage is most probably taken from[ A ] a tourist guide[ B ] a bank brochure[ C ] a booklet about car rental[ D ] a handbook on U.S. currencyPart BDirections:Read the texts from a cyber saloon in which five people talked aboutTofu (also known as bean curd), a traditional Chinese and Japanese food. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements(A to G) that he or she is most likely to say. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Jenise:I love peas and beans more than most people, so tofu is a natural choicefor me. My Chinese friend Annabelle loves them too, and tells me that soybeans contain an ingredient not present in any other food source, or at least inthat concentration, that helps prevent breast cancer. When we share a bigbowl of these, we eat with abandon “for medicinal purposes”! I like it plain although there may be many different ways to prepare it and it may cure other diseases.Lee:In fact, I was probably preprogrammed to like it: as a kid one of myfavorite books was Toru and the Tofu (hope I' m remembering the title right),a story about a young Tokyo boy, named Toru, who was given the assignment, his first, of going to the neighborhood tofu maker' s by himselfand bringing back some fleshly made cubes for dinner. I can still recall Toru's unique way of getting it home intact ( with a jar filled with water). It allseemed very strange to the five-year old me in semi-rural Southern California.Hoke:。

The letter from her principal says she did a wonderful job. Do you think she’ll be a good programmer?M: I bet she will.

Everybody’s life is busy. There is so much happening in everybody’ s life. That what happens is they might have a goal and then something will get in the way of that. Maybe their goal is that they want to go on a holiday every year and they put in their leave form with their boss and their boss may ask them to wait for another month and then for another month. That is, so different things get in their way and people don’ t stand up for their goals. They don’t struggle for them. They let other forces push them around a little bit. Also, a lot of people don’t set goals: they think they do. But it’ s either a dream of very loose goal. So when they have to make a decision about a necessary action in their life the goal is so far back in their mind that they don’ t act in its best interest. Also because people will sit down and say “oh, here are my goals”and forget all about them. Revisiting them every week is a good way. They stay at the top of your mind so you can take actions based on them.22．What does the woman say about everybody’ s life?A．It’ s like a road.B．It’ s like a struggle.C．There’s much business.D．There’s much happiness.正确答案：C23．Why do most people fail to reach goals according to the woman?A．They give in to a lot of interruptions.B．They tend to set too ambitious goals.C．They change their goals very often.D．They have too many goals at once.正确答案：A24．What does the woman think of the goals that some people claim to have?A．Serious.B．Sensible.C．Interesting.D．Impractical.正确答案：D25．What does the woman suggest those with goals do?A．Make important decisions about life first.B．Remind oneself of the goals frequently.C．Think of the goal in its best interests.D．Take necessary actions in one’ s life.正确答案：BSection II Use of English (15 minutes)Directions: Read the following text.

2013年3月公共英语三级真题及解析
2013年3月公共英语三级真题及解析Sandy Simonson:The students you pictured have positive attitudes; they expect to work hard on their own. Con-sequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We' ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they' ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible.Bridget Boyle :Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading be-comes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television wasthe best thing we ever did.Deborah Curtin:Your report provided a glimpse into the life of young geniuses, but nobody made these kids better students. Each one can obviously grasp any task. Each could have been left in a box with a book and would have ended up self-taught. You did, however, confirm my belief that most teachers are only capable of communicating information to ready-made A students. Of course, there are a few good teachers, but they cannot overcome the defective system we have.Alan Holman:I don' t think that the success of students really depends on marks. I just finished writing my second average-length stage play, which is going to bc produced at my high school. And I' m also playing a part in Hamlet. Despite all these really great things, my marks in school are really bad. I pay more attention to my hobbies than to school, and it' s actually getting mc somewhere. So marks aren't everything.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.StatementsA．Grades cannot fully reflect the whole picture of a student.B．Try your best to make your children habitual readers.C．Tolerant parents are sure to shape successful children.D．Parents' encouragement helps to improve children' s performance at school.E．Schooling is very different from educating.F．Good students are actually not made but born.G．Students cannot become better at school unless theyare self-driven.61、Charles Swecker62、Sandy Simonson63、Bridget Boyle64、Deborah Curtin65、Alan HolmanSECTION IV Writing Part A(40 minutes)66、You have read the following notice about a lost handbag.

W: When do you usually go to the bank, John?M: Anytime I have to. Why did you ask?W: You' d better avoid Friday mornings. I' m reading an interesting book these days. And it says most robberies happen on Friday mornings.8. W : What do you think of your father?M: Oh, he was the first stable male figure in my life. The best attribute a parent can have is con-sistency. When he said he would be there at 3 o'clock, he was there. That meant more to me than anything.9. M: How do you like your new room, Jane?W: It' s not big; the rent is high. And I' m far away from work. But I enjoy myself very much.M : Why?W : I am able to get rid of that annoying roommate at last.10. M: Our flight will be delayed by 6 hours.

I am pretty tired.Part BQuestions 11 ~ 13W: Wow, look at the line. It' s worse than I expected. We are lucky we got here an hour earlier. Or else we will definitely have had problems getting tickets. I'm glad we made the effort to come early.M: Me too. I learned my lesson the last time I went to a new film. I didn' t arrive early enough and ended up with a terrible seat all the way in the front row. Believe me, it was one of the worst movie experiences ever.W: Yeah. I hate sitting in the first row.M: By the way, it was really nice of you to get this ticket for me. Why don' t I show you a bit of appreciation by gettingyou a drink?W: That would be great.M: OK. What kind of soda do you want?W : Let me see. I' ll take a large coke. Thanks a lot.M: I' d better get going. You hold my place and I' ll be back really quick. Oh, I almost forget. I' d better hold on to my ticket in case you get let in before I get back. If that happens, just save me a seat and I'll meet you inside.W: OK. It' s a plan.Questions 14 ~ 17W: You two are quite different. How did your company put you two together as a team?M: At first, they wanted to hear our harmony. We sang to them and they really liked to. So they decided that it would be best to put us together as a group.W: What are some of the distinctive features of your music?M: We have a variety of different songs; we have four different styles: soft rock, slow music, love songs and country music. But we are most at home with soft rock. I really like our voices merged together and I like how it sounds. Actually, there is a song called Studying. Our company really likes the song because it represents our voice.W: What would you like to bring to the audience through your music?M : I' d like to recommend our first song to everyone. The name of the song is Believe. The main idea we want to share is that we want to tell everyone you have to believe in yourself before people can believe in you. Actually we want to bring our music to everyone and make everyone happy. Music is something all around you. You can listen to music and you can feel what the music says.Questions 18 ～21W: I don' t think Poppas is right for this position.M: I agree. He' s got experience as a computer operator but he has very little training in programming. What about Anderson?W: I like him. He seems very enthusiastic and he knows a lot about programming.M: That' s true. Do you think he is dependable enough, though? He' s already had two different jobs this year. He might work for a couple of months and then decide to leave.W: I suppose so. But his last supervisor wrote a three-page letter of recommendation. He says Anderson is an excellent programmer.M: He probably is. But we don' t want him to leave after we' ve spent a lot of time training him. Actually, I think Logan is the best candidate.W: She hash' t worked since she got married, hash' t she ?M: She' s been taking care of her family. But she is really devoted.W: Oh, yes. The letter from her principal says she did a wonderful job. Do you think she' ll be a good programmer?M: I bet she will. She has an excellent letter of recommendation from her teacher at the institute she attended.W: That' s true.M: And Logan seems more professional. She was well-dressed and seemed to have a very positive attitude about working for us.Questions 22 ～25M: Well, what do you think is the reason most people do so badly at reaching goals?W: They lose focus. Everybody' s life is busy. There is so much happening in everybody' s life. That what happens is they might have a goal and then something will get in the way of that. Maybe their goal is that they want to go on a holiday every year and they put in their leave form with their boss and their boss may ask them to wait for another month and then for another month. That is, so different things get in their way and people don' t stand up for their goals. They don' t struggle for them. They let other forces push them around a little bit. Also, a lot of people don' t set goals ; they think they do. But it' s either a dream of very loose goal. So when they have to make a decision about a necessary action in their life the goal is so far back in their mind that they don' t act in its best interest. Also because people will sit down and say "oh, here are my goals" and forget all about them. Revisiting them every week is a good way. They stay at the top of your mind so you can take actions based on them.第二部分英语知识运用第一节单项填空参考译文我不知道为什么英国的酒吧让我感到失望，毕竟酒吧是英国男性最喜欢的聚会场所，在那里，他们可以和朋友聚会，一起喝啤酒、讨论足球或者赛马，抑或谈生意或者任何他们脑子里想的事情。
