2013年12月三级真题的答案
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 eitherPart II Reading ComprehensionSection A Passage Reading31-35 CDAAC 36-40 CCDBD 41-45 DABDB .Section B46-50 HNAGO 51-55 LDJCBPart III Integrated TestingSection A Cloze56-60DBDAA 61-65ACDBD 66-70BBAAA 71-75 DBCCDSection B76. 【答案】It means network.77. 【答案】People can find various types of information.78. 【答案】communicating79. 【答案】any personal information80. 【答案】Be careful to decide whether the information is true.。

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip（扭转把手）on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope（陀螺仪）detects your movements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public. They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of tourists passing on Segways.36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A. A pole that connects two handlebars.B.A newly appeared public traffic vehicle.C. A bicycle with a platform between two wheels.D. An electric two-wheeled vehicle for short trips.37.How do you turn to the left on Segways of newer models?A.Lean to the leftB.Adjust the twist gripC.Press the left barD.Control the gyroscope38.How far can you travel on a Segway at most?A..Less than 19 kmB..About 19 kmC. About 38 kmD.More than 38 km39.The last paragraph focuses on ____?A.What a Segway is likeB.Where to find a SegwayC. How to control a SegwayD. When a Segway is usefulPassage TwoNancy Bright and her husband John had been working overtime and saving for a long time so that they could pay the advance for Nancy’s dream house. Today was the day that they had enough money in hand to make a down payment on the house. But the real estate （房地产）agent informed them that she had received another offer for the house. Although the other offer was slightly less than that of Nancy and John’s, that person with the new offer was willing to pay the whole amount at once .The owner, in urgent need of money, wanted to accept the second offer.Nancy and John looked at each other with disappointed looks. They walked back home feeling very low about having lost the house. Soon they recovered and involved themselves into their daily lives, though once in a while Nancy would sink into a mild depression over losing the house.One day Nancy woke up in the morning feeling even lower than usual. She kept feeling sick, even lost interest in her routine coffee. She pull all these symptoms down to the stress of working hard and losing her dream house. A week passed and she seemed to get worse. John was worried and insisted on taking her to the doctor. The doctor, after taking a few tests, informed them with a huge smile that Nancy was two months pregnant! John and Nancy were overjoyed but also worried about not having their own house before the baby was born.One evening Nancy wandered into the street where her dream house was, and as she passed by it, she was surprised to see that there were notices stuck on all the house. On closer examination she found that the notices were for all the residents to move out of the house as they were building a highway and the whole row of the houses needed to be pulled down. Nancy suddenly realized that not getting her dream house had been a blessing in disguise. She thanked God and decided to be happy with the blessings she had and started looking forward to the birth of her child.40.Why did Nancy and her husband lose their dream house?A.They couldn’t pay the whole amount for the house at once.B.Someone else offered more money for the house.C.They couldn’t afford the advance for the house.D.The house owner decided not to sell the house.41.How did they feel after they lost their dream house?A.They felt sorry and hardly recovered.B.They felt relieved but with little regent.C.They enjoyed their daily lives all the same.D.They were depressed but tried to adjust themselves.42.What did Nancy find about the house one day?A.It would be on sale again.B.It would be pulled down.C.It had been redecorated.D.It had been emptied.43.What does the phrase “a blessing in disguise” in the last paragraph mean?A.A good luckB.A dirty trickC.A secret wishD.A false alarmPassage ThreeMost of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same question in advance of a trip. So here I will give you some travel tips.What should I wear?If you are lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it --the desert gets chilly at night.. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you are going to phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies bathing suits are normal if there’s a pool where you’re going, but leave the string bikini at home --it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you’re planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbows, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head, and your body temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 to 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it----AT&T and sprint both work internationally for sure, but may sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called “Pharoah’s Revenge”The thing that knocks out Pharoah’s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine ,and is available at every drugstore for $ 1 a box. DON’T drink local water, DO drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you will be fine.44.What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A.string bikinisB.Long-sleeve closesC.Bathing suitsD.Shorts45.What’s the use of an Evian Mister?A.to relieve your thirstB.To prevent sunburnsC.To cool yourself downD.To drive away insects46.What information is provided about distance communication?A.A cell phone is enough for most people.B.AT&T and sprint offer free service in Egypt.C.A satellite phone does not work in Mid-Egypt.D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.47.What does “Pharoah’s Revenge” probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A curseB.A legendC.DiseaseD.Vegetable缺passage four49. Which word best describe the homeless man?A. AngryB. UntidyC. SensitiveD. Impolite50. Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?A. She wanted to thank the hot dog sellerB. The homeless man asked for a hot dogC. She wanted to buy a hot dog for the homeless manD. The hot dog was so delicious that Robby wanted another51. What is the theme of this passage?A. The rich should help the poorB. One good turn deserves anotherC. Kindness is the greatest wisdomD. A kindness shown, a kindness sownPassage FiveWhatever you do, don’t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been, in order from 1 to 9.People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp’s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu’s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the numbers disappears. Then, instead of remembering the numbers, he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example, a person may see the number “5” as the color blue. Until now, scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu’s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories ofchimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.52.What is Ayumu famous for?A.His gift in playing computers.B.His talent in calculating numbers.C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.D.His amazing performance in memory game.53.Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011conference.54.Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?A.From an experimentB.From a conferenceC.From a research on chimpanzeesD.From the color blue55.How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu’s performance in the game?A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.C.Chimps recall things faster than people.D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.E.Ⅴ.Daily Conversation (15 points)Direction: Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Mary: Well, Susan, how was your shopping trip with Nancy this afternoon?Susan: Don’t ask. _56_ HMary: What do you mean? Something went wrong?Susan: Went wrong? _57_ E ! Nancy thought I had said I would meet her at the department store at 2:30 when I really said 2:00.Then she thought we would meet at the main entrance in front when I really said at the east entrance on the Twelfth Street.Mary:_58_ B ?Susan: Yes! _59_ C I had given up waiting and went inside the women’s clothing department. So did she. Thus we met finally and it was 3:00 by then.Mary: Did you get what you wanted? _60_ DSusan: A blouse, as a matter of fact. But by that time, all those on sale were gong. So I settled for a skirt.Ⅵ.Writing (25 points)Direction: For this part, you are supposed to write an essay in English in 100～120 words based on the following information. Remember to write it clearly.61.你（Li Yuan) 收到朋友Xiao Ming 的e-mail，他在邮件中谈及买车计划。

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.

M: Good evening. My name is Tom Smith, may I know your name?W: My name is Mary Class on.M: Mary, would you care to dance?W: I' d love to, but I have to be off with something important to do.2. M: We' d better start to eat onions frequently, Linda.W: But you hate onions, don't you?M: Until I learned from a report from today' s paper that they protect people from flu and colds. After all, compared with health, taste is not so important.3. W: When do you think that I can go home, Doctor Smith?M: Well, you came in on Monday and today is Friday. I say that you could probably leave tomorrow. But you should stay at home and not go back to work too soon.4. M: Laura, I ran into David today.W: Really? Did he say anything about his sister?M: Yes.

That means it won' t be leaving until 3:30 in the afternoon.W: What shall we do in the meantime?M: Let' s find some seats in the quiet part of the terminal to take a nap.W: Good idea. 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。

SECTION II Use of English(15 minutes) 26、根据下列材料，请回答26-45题： I don't know what it is about English pubs that I find so disappointing． 26 , pubs are supposed to be the Englishman' s 27 meeting place, where he can get together with a few friends 28 a glass of beer and talk about football, or horse racing, or business or whatever else 29 his thoughts．You notice that the pub is the Englishman' s meeting place, not the English-woman's．Even in our liberated times it is still not quite 30 for a woman to go into a pub alone; she must have a man to 31 and protect her．Perhaps that' s partly 32 pubs disappoint me--they are 33 mainly to provide for male interests, which are often pretty 34 ． I think this male-dominated atmosphere 35 reminds me of being back at school, or in the army, neither of which is an 36 I much want to relive. 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.

2013年成人英语三级模拟试题
2013年成人英语三级模拟试题Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At the speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor windows. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to ￡50. it will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver‟s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear you seat belt.(76) Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.1. This text is taken from ________.A) a medical magazine B) a police reportC) a legal document D) a government information booklet(D)2. Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle ________.A) reduces road accidents by more than halfB) saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hourC) reduces the death rate in traffic accidents D) saves more than 15,000 lives each year(C)3. It is the driver‟s responsibility to ________.A) make the front seat passenger wear a seat beltB) make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat beltC) stop children riding in the front seat D) wear a seat belt each time he drives4. According to the text, which of the following people riding in the front dos not have to wear a seat belt?A) Someone who is backing into a parking space.B) Someone who is picking up the children from the local school.C) Someone who is delivering invitation letters.D) Someone who is under 14.(A)5. For some people, it may be better ________.A) to wear a seat belt for health reasonsB) not to wear a seat belt for health reasonsC) to get valid medical certificate before wearing a seat beltD) to pay a fine rather than wear a seat beltPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. (77)Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.(78)I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon‟s long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and thetechnology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.6. In what way can we make a machine intelligent?A) By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B) By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C) By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D) By reproducing it.(C)7. What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?A) He believes they will be useful to human beings.B) He believes that they will control us in the future.C) He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D) He doesn‟t consider the construction o f such machines possible.(A)8. The word “carbon” (Line 4, Para. 2) stands for ________.A) intelligent robots B) a chemical element C) an organic substance D) human beings(D)9. A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when ________.A) its intelligence and cost are beyond questionB) it is able to bear the rough environmentC) it is made as complex as the human brainD) its architecture is different from that of the present ones(A)10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproductionB) with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC) once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will posses intelligenceD) robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in spacePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:“... We are not about to enter the Information Age but instead are rather well into it.” Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all United States high schools owned one or more computers for student use.(79) In the fall of 1985, a new survey revealed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become “computer literate (慢点…的).” “By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print illiterate today.”What is “computer literacy”? The term itself seems to imply soon extent of “knowing” about computers, but knowing what. The current opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate.Therefore, it is vital that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adults are capable of utilising a motor vehicle without the slightest knowledge of how theinternal-combustion engine works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work. (80)Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever known how to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work?Rather, we first must concentrate on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is.“Knowing how to use a computer is what‟s going to be important, we don‟t talk about …automobile literacy. … We just get in our cars and drive them.”11. In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to ________.A) 79 million B) 30 million C) 70 million D) 100 million(C)12. The expression “Print illiterate” (Para. 1, Line 16) refers to ________.A) one who has never learnt printing B) one who is not computer literateC) one who has never learnt to read D) one who is not able to use a typewriter(C)13. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) recent predictions of computer-related jobs B) the wide use of computers in schoolsC) the urgency of computer education D) public interest in computers(C)14.According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers is to teach ____.A) what computers are B) how to use computersC) where computers can be used D) how computers work(B)15. Which of the following statements is FALSE?A) What to teach about computers should be reconsidered.B) Those who are not educated in computer use will find it difficult to get a job.C) Human society has already entered the Information Age.D) Those who want to use computers should know how computers operate.答案：1—15 DCBAB CADAB CCCBD。
2013年5月北京地区成人英语三级试题及答案解析
Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages inthis 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 decideon the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Is that 6 a.m. workout getting in the way of good sleep? Don’t think your fat cells won’t notice. A new study published in The Annals of Internal Medicine (a medical journal) finds that inadequate shut-eye has a harmful effect on fat cells, reducing their ability to respond to insulin (胰岛素) by about 30 percent. Over the long-term, this decreased response could set the stage for type-2 diabetes(a medical condition in which someone has too much sugar in his or her blood),fatty liver disease and weight gain.The study adds to a growing body of evidence that there’s “an intimate relationship between the amount of sleep we get and our ability to maintain a good, healthy body weight,” says sleep expert Helene Emsellem, director of the Center for Sleep and Wake Disorders in Chevy Chase, Maryland. (76) But Americans don’t seem to be getting the message that we need seven to nine hours per night. More than 1 in 5 of us, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is getting six or fewer hours of sleep per night, on average.So how did researchers study fat cells in the Annals paper? Matthew Brady of the University of Chicago and a group of colleagues selected and persuaded seven volunteers to take part in the research project. They were all young,thin and healthy and agreed to sleep for eight nights in a sleep lab. “For four nights they were allowed to stay in bed for 8.5 hour s a night,” says Brady.Then, a month later, they came back for four additional nights—but this time they were allowed just 4.5 hours of sleep per night. And after each visit,researchers got a sample of their fat. (77) Brady explains that the fat cells responded significantly to the loss of sleep. “I was very surprised to be honest,” he says.Bad things can happen when fat cells become less responsive to insulin.“Fat cells are actually your friend,” he says. “They’re there to store lipids (血脂).” when lipids stay inside the cells, your body can utilize the fat when you’re exercising or sleeping or going about your day. “However, when fat cells start to become insulin resistant, the lipids start to leach out of the fat cells and rise in the bloodstream,” Brady says.1. According to the passage, lack of sleepfor a long while can probably lead to all of the following EXCEPT_____.A. heart diseaseB. weight gainC. diabetesD. liver disease2. The main idea of the third paragraph is_____.A. how to write a medical research paperB. how to avoid sleep lossC. how the research was conductedD. how to conduct a medical experiment3. What does the word “leach” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Leap. C. Lean.B. Lead. D. Leak.4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. We will be in trouble if our fat cells become less responsive to insulin.B. More and more studies are done to study the link between sleep and weight.C. More than 20% of Americans are not getting enough sleep.D. Fat cells are there to help us maintain a good health.5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Poor Sleep May Lead to Too Much Stored Fat and DiseaseB. Sleep Experts Had Exciting Findings in a Fat StudyC. Americans Should Have More Than Six Hours of SleepD. Bad Things Happen if Fat Cells Become Our Friend1.【答案】A。

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 OneAsk a mom if she's happier now that she has a child, and she'll usually say yes. But psychologists who study happiness often report a different picture. Being the mom of a young child (especially one under 3) is rewarding, but also a real strain on your mood. "Moment to moment, you may be tired and sometimes angry, though kids do bring joy" says Peter Ubel, M.D., a professor of medicine and psychology at the University of Michigan. In fact,on their list of enjoyable activities, moms rank childcare lower than eating, exercising, or watching TV, according to a University of Michigan study, and kid care rates only slightly higher than housework, working, or commuting!One reason for the difference between moms and experts: selective memory. When psychologists ask moms in a general way if they like spending time with their kids, the overwhelming majority say they do because they're thinking of fun activities like reading a book or playing in the park. When they're specifically asked to describe their actual daily routine, they remember the hours they spent struggling to get their child dressed or ready for bed.Maybe, though, the psychologists are missing the intensity of joy that time spent with your child can bring. Luckily, those moments can overcome your daily frustrations. "Happiness is more than just that smiley feeling," says Karen Reivich, Ph.D., a research associate in the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania. "It's also feeling a connection to something larger than yourself. When people are in service to something bigger, they describe their lives as filled with meaning."第16题：Which of the following best summarizes Peter Ubel’s opinion of being the mom of a young child?A. It makes the mom exhausted.B. It is both rewarding and stressful.C. It makes the mom easily irritated.D. It is quite frustrating an experience.【正确答案】：B第17题：According to a University of Michigan study, which of the following ranks higher than childcare on moms’ list of enjoyable activities?A. eating, housework or commutingB. eating, exercising or watching TVC. exercising, housework or watching TVD. exercising, commuting or watching TV【正确答案】：B第18题：What does the underlined phrase selective memory in thethird paragraph mean?A. Moms often tend to remember only the happy moments with their children.B. Moms often tend to remember only the hours they spent taking care of their children.C. Experts tend to remember only the happy moments the moms spend with their children.D. Experts tend to remember only the hours the moms spend with their children.【正确答案】：A第19题：According to Karen Reivich, how do the moms’ moments of intense joy compare with their daily frustrations?A. Those moments make them feel more excited.B. Those moments make them feel more relaxed.C. Those moments can overcome their daily frustrations.D. Those moments can do nothing about their daily frustrations.【正确答案】：C第20题：From the last sentence of the passage we can inferthat__________.A. Moms have only the smiley feeling about childcare.B. Moms feel frustrated at taking care of their children.C. Moms enjoy doing housework as a part of their childcare.D. Moms regard childcare as a meaningful part of their lives.【正确答案】：DPassage TwoDo you go to bed without brushing your teeth? You may think that not brushing is not a big deal. But caring for your mouth can prevent serious (and even embarrassing) problems.Cavities happen to just about everyone. A cavity is a diseased spot in the tooth. It all starts with a sticky film made up of bacteria. That film coats your teeth and gums. The bacteria eat sugars from things you eat and drink. That produces acids. Then, the acids eat away at your teeth's hard outer coating, called enamel.If you don't brush regularly to remove the film, or if you keep missing a spot, those acids keep eating away the teeth's enamel. That is how you get a cavity. "The larger it gets, the closer it gets to the nerve, increasing the chance of severe pain," says Lynn Ramer, president of the American Dentists' Association.A cavity will never just go away by itself. It will only get worse. "Left untreated, 100 percent of the time a cavity will spread," says Dr. William Berlocher, a dentist who is also president of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.If a cavity is caught early enough, your dentist will be able to fix your tooth. The area of the tooth where the cavity was will be replaced with a special material called a filling. Some fillings are made of a metal blend containing silver. Other fillings are a tooth-colored mix of glass and a strong material called resin.If you ignore a cavity, it will spread. It can go into the tooth's root. At that point, the dentist will have to do a root canal. In that procedure, the dentist removes the tooth's nerve.第21题：According to the second paragraph, what is a cavity?A. a diseased spot in the toothB. a film of acids coating the teethC. a sticky film made up of bacteriaD. a hard outer coating covering the teeth【正确答案】：A第22题：What would happen if you do not brush regularly?A. The film coating your teeth would be removed.B. There would be less diseased spots in your teeth.C. The film coating your teeth would be less sticky.D. The acids would keep eating away your teeth’s hard outer coating.【正确答案】：D第23题：If a cavity reaches the tooth’s root, how would a dentist treat it?A. Replace the cavity with a fillingB. Replace the tooth’s enamelC. Remove the tooth’s nerveD. Pull out the tooth【正确答案】：C第24题：According to the fifth paragraph, what are some fillings made of?A. a mix of silver and resinB. a metal blend containing glassC. a metal blend containing copperD. a mix of glass and resin【正确答案】：D第25题：The main purpose of the passage is to __________.A. explain the formation and treatment of cavityB. emphasize the importance of brushing teethC. discuss the proper ways of brushing teethD. describe how a dentist treats a cavity【正确答案】：APassage ThreeSmall talk is like having loose change in your pocket. Like quarters for a pay phone, loose change comes in handy when you least expect it. But when it comes to small talk, you must know when to spend it or save it.All small talk is not the same. With some people, you walk away having killed a few moments. With others, you feel a connection and want to get to know them better. The difference is the effort one or both of you made at making a connection. It helps to call the person by name, mention things you have in common (mutual acquaintances, places you've been, experiences you've shared, career or personal goals), show interest in that person's views or hobbies, and match the other person's speaking style, voice, emotion and body language as you talk.People feel being related to others who like them, appreciate them, enjoy the same things they do and are helpful to them. Time and attention make connections that last.When you're considering small talk, be sensitive to the other person's mood and circumstances. When your airplane seatmate is obviously preoccupied, leave him or her alone. Neither would you approach someone when the person is dashing down a hallway to a meeting. On other occasions, small talk is inappropriate because of the person involved. If the CEO has unexpectedly called you in for "a little chat," this is not the time to take the lead. Let him or her dictate the topic and pace. The same is true with customers. Develop a sixth sense about those who appreciate small talk and those who don't.第26题：What is the meaning of the underlined phrase comes in handy in the first paragraph?A. becomes very usefulB. becomes very specialC. becomes very importantD. becomes very inconvenient【正确答案】：A第27题：According to the second paragraph, how can you make a connection with others？A. mention your unique experiencesB. describe others’ dressing stylesC. talk about others’ hobbiesD. discuss others’ names【正确答案】：C第28题：If you want to make others’ feel related to you, you may need to__________.A. spend time chatting with themB. show how excellent you areC. give presents to themD. be helpful to them【正确答案】：D第29题：According to the fourth paragraph, on what occasion should you avoid making small talk with others?A. when others are strolling on the streetB. when your airplane seatmate asks you for a favorC. when your airplane seatmate is absorbed in thoughtD. when others are walking down the hallway after a meeting【正确答案】：C第30题：According to the last paragraph, what should you do when your CEO has unexpectedly called you in for “a little chat”?A.let the CEO dictate the topic and paceB.talk about the difficulties in your workC.take the lead to make small talkD.decide on the topic of talk【正确答案】：APassage FourA biological clock is what tells plants, animals, and other organisms how to organize their time. This ‘clock’helps plants and animals change their routine when they move to places with different climates and environments. Most biological clocks are based on the movement of the sun and follow a twenty-four hour cycle called a circadian rhythm. Some animals sleep only at night, making them diurnal. Animals that sleep during daytime are nocturnal. Flowers are diurnal because they close their petals at night but they open again in the morning. Bats sleep in the daytime so they are nocturnal.Some biological clocks also follow an annual cycle, especially in animals that have annual migrations. Animals that have annual cycles do different things at different times of year. Their actions are determined by the seasons.Different animals can live in the same area when their biological clocks make them look for food at different times of day. This process also keeps them out of each other's way. Biological clocks help plants and animals prepare for changes in the seasons. Animals need to know what time of year to reproduce so their offspring will be born when the conditions for survival are good.Human beings' sleep cycle is a circadian rhythm, a system based on the twenty-four hour day. In the circadian rhythm most humans sleep at night. When people travel to different time zones their biological clocks have to adjust. In humans, the biological clock is in a group of cells called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN.) The SCN is located near the bottom middle part of the brain.Scientists are continuing to research the biological clock and circadian rhythms. Scientists discovered thefirst circadian gene in a mammal (a mouse) in 1997. It is only a matter of time before your own biological clockwill tell YOU the time!第31题：Which of the following type of animal or plant is nocturnal?A. human beingsB. flowersC. batsD. cows【正确答案】：C第32题：What is a circadian rhythm?A.a twenty-four hour cycle of most biological blocksB.the closure and opening of the petals of flowersC.a cycle of some animals’ annual migrationD.the movement rhythm of the sun【正确答案】：A第33题：According to the third paragraph, why can different animals live in the same area peacefully?A.Because they look for different types of food.B.Because their conditions for survival are good.C.Because they do different things at different times of year.D.Because their biological clocks keep them out of each other’s way.【正确答案】：D第34题：Where is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) located?A.the bottom middle part of the brainB.the bottom left part of the brainC.the top right part of the brainD.the top left part of the brain【正确答案】：A第35题：From the last sentence of the passage we can infer that__________.A.We still lack a full understanding of our own biological clock.B.Our own biological clock is a lot different from that of a mouse.C.We have already known much about the circadian rhythms of mammals.D.There is still a lot to be done before your own biological clock will tell you the time.【正确答案】：APart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Researchers at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California found that a 12-minute bedside 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 Foundation, 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 he patient´ s. Most patients petted the dog, while others engaged human volunteers in conversation about the dog.Dogs used in the study are specially trained animal-assisted therapy dogs that undergo aseries of trainings, evaluations and certifications to qualify as therapy dogs. Dog breeds varied. Researchers 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.第46题We learn from the text that heart patients benefit most from visits______.A.by a volunteer with a dogB.by a volunteer on his ownC.by a well-trained dog aloneD.by a non-profit organization第47题The study shows that, for heart patients, ______.A.their anxiety is reduced if they stay longer in hospitalB.their contact with animals improves their conditionC.their heart pressure decreases if they remain at restD.their recovery relies on contact with animals第48题According to Cole, the change of patients´ facial expression indicates that______.A.they are happy with the experimentB.they are psychologically comfortedC.their hospitalization may be shortenedD.their heart function is returning to normal第49题Cole believes that dogs are helpful to the patients if______.A.they are limited to certain breedsB.they are specially trained onesC.they have meaning to themD.they stay with them all day第50题This report focuses on______.A.the healing power of animalsB.the treatment of heart diseaseC.the relationship between dogs and humansD.the promotion of human-animal interaction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.In many respects, Katsura Okiyama is a typical Japanese woman in her 20s. She enjoys spending time with her friends and loves Disney. But, less typically, she is a writer. And, quite exceptionally, 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 sellin 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 cellphone novels is simple and peppered with emoticons—signs that represent various attitudes or emotions. 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.第51题In Japan, cell-phone writers______.A.upload their stories bit by bit to websitesB.pay to have their novels printed as booksC.spend almost one month to finish a novelD.send SMS-length texts to readers´ phones第52题According to Katsura Okiyama, she is able to write because______.A.she has an insight into literatureB.she has training in storytellingC.she is skilled in text messaging .D.she is free from literary rules第53题According to John Possman, the Japanese publishing industry______.A.is pushed forward by the pop cultureB.is strengthened by cell-phone novelsC.has been shrinking for many yearsD.has been creating a generation of young readers第54题We learn from the text that cell-phone novels______.A.feature moving dialoguesB.have different writing stylesck variety in subject matterD.encourage readers to read others第55题It can be inferred that Japan´ s literary establishment can´t______.A.settle the dispute between the two sidespete with cell-phone novelsC.adapt to the new technologiesD.change their writing styles上一题下一题(56~60/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.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 Po-lanyi, 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 ideas for 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 modern 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. "第56题According to John Polany, a seemingly all-time successful person may in fact______.A.be very adventurousB.be very competitiveC.be very sensitiveD.be very cautious第57题The Hollywood example is used to show that to succeed you should______.A.avoid mistakesB.live with failuresC.avoid competitionD.live with new ideas第58题When it comes to trying new things, people should know it is natural that______.A.success results from trial and errorB.they might miss something importantC.success requires safety guaranteesD.they will hit more than they miss第59题According to Nina Spencer, the key to acquiring a new skill lies in______.A.practiceB.persistencepetenceD.performance第60题The writer of the text wants to tell people not to______.A.be frightened by failureB.repeat the same failureC.underestimate failureD.be misled by failure上一题下一题(61~65/共5题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. 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. Consequently, 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 becomes 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.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 Holmari: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 be 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 me somewhere. So marks aren´ t everything.Statements[A]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 they are self-driven.第61题Charles Swecker________第62题Sandy Simonson ________第63题Bridget Boyle ______第64题Deborah Curtin ______第65题Alan Holman ______上一题下一题(1/1)WritingDirections:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET.Part A第66题You have read the following notice about a lost handbag.

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 f inds 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 nonw orking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21.

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.

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 belo ng to the same tribe with the manager.D. His questions annoyed the receptionist.32.

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 IV Cloze Test (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.
