The following is a list of careers that are disappearing.Stage performersThe five-year decline for this career was a surprising 61%.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here: the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere: and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were living in New York. These are the three states of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it´ s a city of dreamers.What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its specialness—but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it´ s the capital of the world?People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $3.7 million a year for the city´s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city´ s bottom 10 percent.So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illusion that draws them?They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They are not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, eventhe illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city´ s economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.第46题The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that______.A.they share the same longingB.they are in pursuit of dreamsC.they are proud of their birthplaceD.they wish to live in another place第47题In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is______.A.powerfulB.diverseC.specialrge第48题The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York______.A.favors the luckyB.favors the localsC.is a city of inequalityD.is a city of opportunities第49题People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that______.A.challenge themB.suit them wellC.pay them wellD.raise their status第50题It is implied in the text that New York is______.A.a tolerant cityB.a wealthy cityC.a mythical cityD.a historical city上一题下一题(51~55/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.We´ ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the more men disagree about a woman´s looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your´weaknesses´ is the opposite of what you should do," says the site´s co-founder, Christian Rudder. "If you´re a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who don´ t like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be all the more excited. "The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive don´t always have an advantage.Beauty creates more competition—among women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction: and among men, who are competing for the most attractive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it´s possible for a woman to suffer for being " too good-looking": why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers: or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up contacting women who may ultimately be less attractive—because it removes the opposition. " If you suspect other men are uninterested, it means less competition," explains Rudder. " You might start thinking: maybe she´ s lonely... maybe she´ s just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her... at least I won´ t get lost in the crowd. "In the end, being beautiful will always have its blessings—but sometimes, there´ s more to an advantage than meets the eye.第51题It is generally believed that beautiful people______.A.have less difficulty in lifeB.are less worried about loveC.pay less attention to othersD.like to gaze at lovely babies第52题The OK Cupid survey found that men´ s arguments over a woman´ s looks______.A.have little meaningB.benefit online datingC.will actually hurt herD.add to her popularity第53题Christian Rudder advises women to______.A.play up their physical advantagesB.view their popularity scientificallyC.highlight their physical weaknessesD.accept guys who are willing to help第54题The attitude of women toward their attractive peers is______.A.criticalB.friendlyC.conservativeD.straightforward第55题The main idea of the text is that a woman´ s good looks______.A.help to shape ideas of beauty。

2014年5月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及答案解析..
Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong". This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. It later became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school.based early education. 1．Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of_______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four 2．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C. Rich pre.school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D. President Obama's education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids start kindergarten early.3．Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B. New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4．The phrase "single out" in the last paragraph means _______.A. chooseB. think aboutC. countD. depend on 5．Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Secondary EducationB. Pre.school EducationC. Poor Kids’ Educ ationD. Rich Kids' Education答案详解：1. D four第一段第一句说美国的幼儿园一般在五到六岁开始，第二句说在富裕国家里这么晚才开始是十分奇怪的，所以是在五岁以前，综合答案选择D，四岁。

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。

Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to tho se fighters who fight for their country.

阅读 Part ADireefions:Read the following three texts—— Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Nisaburo and I-Iiroko Ohata are unlike most Japanese couples their age. Sure, Hiroko, 58, is worried about her husband' s high blood pressure, while Nisaburo, 60, promises his wife that if she loses 18 pounds they'll take a trip abroad. What makes the Ohatas different is how they met, through a matchmaking organization for single seniors. "On the second date, he asked if I wanted to meet his family," says Hiroko. "I took that as a proposal. " A little rushed, perhaps, but 17 years after his wife' s death, Nisaburo knew he' d found a new wife. The couple just celebrated four years of marital happiness last month.In the past, people like Nisaburo and Hiroko might have chosen to live out their lives alone. But as Japan' s society ages, attitudes about love and remarriage late in life are changing. In 2006, according to government data, three times more men and nearly five times more women in their 60s and 70s married for at least the second time, compared with 20 years before.Granted, change is slow. For this silver-haired population, the concept of "dating" is still masked by the term ocha nomi tomodachi (friends having tea together). And older people often need help meeting I rospective mates. That' s where specialized matchmaking services such as Ai Senior--" Love Senior"--come in. When Shunichi Ikeda started the online service three years ago, he was surprised by how many visits he was getting from people in their 60s.I keda says that his clienls have an "American perspective" about the dating scene. And theirchildren are often very supportive, sometimes being the ones to register parents. "More older peo-ple are realizing that life is supposed to be enjoyable--not lonely," says Ikeda. About 17% of the matchmaking clients in Japan are over 50 years old, according to Ai Senior, and seniors' market share has more than doubled over the past three years. "For older, single men, even doing laundry or cooking is difficult," says Ikeda. "They want to live with a woman. Likewise, it can be boring for women living alone. They want to provide for someone.46. According to the writer, the Ohatas are different from most senior Japanese couples in that_______A. they remarried with the help of an agencyB. they decided to marry on the second dateC. the husband suffers from a health problemD. the wife is concerned about losing weight47. As is implied in the text, Nisaburo' s proposal on the second date might be considered______A. typical of single seniorsB. irresponsible to his familyC. a surprise to the womanD. a decision made in haste48. In Japan, the change in attitudes about remarriage results from an increase in______A. its populationB. single womenC. senior peopleD. the divorced49. According to Ai Senior, the matchmaking clients in JapanA. admire the American lifestyleB. are mostly under 50 years of ageC. share a vague term for "dating"D. doubled over the past three years50. According to Ikeda, more single seniors remarry in order to______A. live a longer lifeB. solve financial problemsC. make their life enjoyableD. support their children together阅读 Part A2When you become a parent, much of your focus shifts from your own future to your kids' fu- ture. But one of the most effective ways to help your children learn to dream big is to ensure that your own dreams don't get pushed aside by everyday demands.Our everyday experiences provide learning opportunities. When you tap into them, you create a lifelong learning habit that will always keep you growing. Even your most disappointing experi-ences can be turned into breakthroughs. Every dream begins in the imagination. Take a few minutes to sit down with a notebook and think about where you would like to be in 20 years. Write down details about all aspects of your ideal life. Feel freeto imagine. Don't worry about whether you know how to get there now--you have 20 years to figure that out. You can also start by picking a year in the future and making a collection of things you'd like in your life by then. Check in on it from time to time to see where you've made progress.We're often encouraged to work on our weaknesses, but working on your strengths is easier and creates better results. For help of identifying them, ask some friends, or colleagues to write down what they most appreciate about you. They' 11 enjoy doing this, and you' 11 feel great when you read the responses. Once you know your strengths, you can put them to work to help you achieve your dreams.Confidence is the foundation for all your other abilities. "Progress, not perfection" is a great saying to keep your confidence high. Every night, write down five achievements that happened that day. Big or small, it doesn' t matter. If proper, add ideas for further progress and actions you can take to get started.Find ways to add what you love to do to your life now. This will give you more energy and keep you connected with your bigger dreams. Making a list of old hobbies is a great way to restore your old passions. Things you' re enthusiastic about come with their own store of energy. Connect-ing with them can give you a push when you most need it.51. In order to help your children to dream big you mustA. fulfill everyday tasksB. build your own careerC. keep your own dreamsD. make them look ahead52. The writer suggests that, to begin your big dream, you shouldA. stretch your imaginationB. have a best-laid plan for 20 yearsC. recollect all your likes and dislikesD. engage yourself in lifelong learning53. According to the writer, to achieve our dreams, we shouldA. work on our strengthsB. develop our creativityC. identify our weaknessesD. seek advice from friends54. To keep high confidence, it is important for one toA. take appropriate actionsB. notice his daily progressC. try his best in everythingD. form new ideas every day55. The writer thinks that one can hold fast to his dream byA. listing the details of his ideal lifeB. improving some of his old hobbiesC. adding new ideas to his old dreamsD. energizing himself with old passions阅读 Part A3Commercial classical music radio in North America has changed dramatically over the past decade. The number of stations has shnmk very rapidly--many operators dropped the format in favor of something more profitable, like pop or rock, with their crazy youthful audience. But the availability of satellite radio, Interact streaming and digital technologies has introduced new options for classical fans.In the city of Toronto, a familiar media player entered the tray last year: Moses Znaimer, 65, the famous brave television pioneer who was the driving force behind T oronto' s CITY-TV. Elevenmonths ago, he took ownership of Classical 96.3 FM, Canada' s first and largest commercial clas- sical station, which "re-launched" this month with some new on-air hosts, a totally new schedule, and more attention to singing art and less to full-length symphonies.The popular station airs selections (usually no more than 10 to 15 minutes long) of greatest- hits classical works, 24 hours a day. This usually means single movements of larger works and oth- er pieces, with commercial ads in between. The station may never be the preferred destination of highbrow classical fans, who seek full-length symphonies and operas. But this doesn' t seem to trouble Znaimer, who says of his main competitor, CBC Radio Two: "They play classical, and they do it well when they do it, but they don' t do it all the time, and they' re doing it less and less. "Marilyn Gilbert, a Toronto artist manager, also makes a comparison to Canada' s national broadcaster when she praises Znaimer' s station: "Classical 96.3 FM is very important for the com- munity and the country, especially in view of the changes that are going on at CBC. "Znaimer is best-known for his influential work in television, but he was also one of the crea- tors of Cross Country Checkup, the longest-running show on CBC Radio. Today he calls Classical 96.3 FM "arguably the most successful of all classical music stations on the continent. At about 800,000 listeners per week, we are larger even than the New York Times classical station E WQXR- FM]." And under his excellent and creative leadership, the sound of the station has become livelier.56. Many operators have dropped commercial classical radio in order to_______A. make more profitsB. promote pop musicC. use new technologyD. attract classical fans57. From the text we learn that Moses Znaimer wanted to_______A. consolidate his position at Classical 96.3 FMB. acquaint classical fans with some new radio stationsC. help expand Toronto' s CCTY-TV into a bigger businessD. make Classical 96.3 FM more satisfying to classical fans58. It can be inferred that Classical 96.3 FM makes money by_______A. attracting and broadcasting commercialsB. showing carefully selected programsC. competing with CBC Radio TwoD. pleasing highbrow classical fang59. Marilyn Gilbert believes Classical 96.3 FM_______A. encourages people to learn classical musicB. introduces a new idea to broadcasting reformC. matters a lot to the community and the countryD. causes CBC to change its way of program arrangement60. The success of Classical 96.3 FM lies in the fact that______A. it has reformed its traditional program styleB. it is more diverse than WQXR-FM in New YorkC. it has attracted audiences of different age groupsD. it is the biggest broadcasting station on the continent阅读 Part BDirections:Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions responding to an article on the issue ofsocial networking. 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 your AN-SWER SHEET.Laura:I think that I have to agree with you. The idea to surround yourself with good and successful people stil rings true. The electronic age may aid contact and communication. However, it does not substitute for looking someone in the eye. One has to have that person-to-person feel to instinc- tively grasp inner character. I' m sure that a combination of the two types of interaction will lend flavor to the future.Mike:I naturally tend to prefer face-to-face relationship building. However, having friends and busi- ness acquaintances all over the world, I find that tools such as Linkedln are quite useful. Both enable me to maintain old connections and make new connections with people I find I have something in common with. Learning how to use these vehicles is the key. I think we are presently in the process of doing just that.Nick:Just like what you have already mentioned, there is obviously a big difference between how people meet and interact on the net and in real world. What the network world offers is a more re- laxed, fun, expressive place to be. I like social networking particularly because it offers me a chance to make a lot of friends. That social networking sites do not build long-lasting relationships is just a misconception.Linda:It is all about a combination of various networking sites, and, if you want to do business, just a few e-mall exchanges. That' show I get to know my clients. Face-to-face networking is not al- ways possible for me. I have clients around the globe, 99% of whom I' ve never met in person. People who oppose social-networking sites don' t understand the real changes that have taken place in the last decade.Helen:Sure enough, social networks are used to reconnect with friends. But they are also a tool for getting your business recognized. They are great places to place ads or comments about your busi-ness, because they are open to the public to view. It can be used as a way to network with would-be consumers. It is a perfect way to promote your business to the widest range of people globally.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Laura62. Mike63. Nick64. Linda65. HelenA. I do not think that online friendships are short-lived.B. Networking can make your companies better known.C. I doubt if people could use networking vehicles properly.D. To benefit from networking, you should learn how to use it.E. To understand people better, you have to meet them in person.F. Social networking reflects the new demands of thechanging time.G. In my opinion, networking has more disadvantages than advantages.参考答案：阅读PartAText lNisaburo和Hiroko Ohata与大多数日本同龄的夫妻不同。
