The 28 student is considered to be 29 who is motivated to learn for the sake of 30, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 31 brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is 32 for learning the material assigned. When research is 33, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with 34 guidance. It is the 35 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 36 a university library works; they expect students, 37 graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference 38 in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but 39 that their students should not be 40 dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties 41 teaching, such as administrative or research work. 42, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is 43.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots〞and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days〞, “late days〞or “nights〞. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?［A］He was delighted to show them off.［B］He did his best but was not often successful.［C］He did them quickly to get them over.［D］He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .［A］he did not get enough sleep［B］there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train［D］the dog was confused about the time of the day49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］Williams had to go to work at night［B］the dog made too much noise in the house［C］Williams made them all get up early［D］the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］he was unconscious all that time［C］he thought the wallet was in the house［D］he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance〞and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!〞, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones〞, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods〞but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or nocones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］some may see everything in shades of green［B］few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green［D］very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］colours only［B］shapes and colours［C］shapes only［D］darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.［A］because they hunt at night［B］because they cannot see light［C］because they have no cones and rods［D］because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］as well as human beings can not see some colours［B］have fewer cones than human beings［C］have less rods than human beings［D］can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.［C］All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［A］cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it［B］will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］must be made easy so that children can read it on their own［D］is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that .［A］fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children［B］fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent［C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［D］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］told only once［B］repeated many times［C］told in a realistic setting［D］presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］have a very bad effect on children［B］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］help children to come to terms with fears［D］harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of beingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.［C］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease.公共英语三级考试模拟试题及答案Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟试题及答案〔1〕有关内容:。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots”and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days”or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?［A］He was delighted to show them off.［B］He did his best but was not often successful.［C］He did them quickly to get them over.［D］He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .［A］he did not get enough sleep［B］there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train ［D］the dog was confused about the time of the day 49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］Williams had to go to work at night［B］the dog made too much noise in the house［C］Williams made them all get up early［D］the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］he was unconscious all that time［C］he thought the wallet was in the house［D］he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness.A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance”and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference betweencolours. There are also millions of “rods”but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］some may see everything in shades of green［B］few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green［D］very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］colours only［B］shapes and colours［C］shapes only［D］darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.［A］because they hunt at night［B］because they cannot see light［C］because they have no cones and rods［D］because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］as well as human beings can not see some colours［B］have fewer cones than human beings［C］have less rods than human beings［D］can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.［C］All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear facedand mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［A］cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it［B］will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］must be made easy so that children can read it on their own［D］is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openlyagainst fairy tales argue that .［A］fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children［B］fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent［C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［D］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］told only once［B］repeated many times［C］told in a realistic setting［D］presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］have a very bad effect on children［B］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］help children to come to terms with fears［D］harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead ofbeingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.［C］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even thesefew people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be muchbetter off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案（1）相关内容:。

It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］Williams had to go to work at night［B］the dog made too much noise in the house［C］Williams made them all get up early［D］the dog would not let them see the newspaper50.

There are different forms of colour blindness.A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance”and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference betweencolours. There are also millions of “rods”but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］some may see everything in shades of green［B］few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green［D］very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］colours only［B］shapes and colours［C］shapes only［D］darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.［A］because they hunt at night［B］because they cannot see light［C］because they have no cones and rods［D］because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］as well as human beings can not see some colours［B］have fewer cones than human beings［C］have less rods than human beings［D］can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.［C］All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear facedand mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［A］cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it［B］will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］must be made easy so that children can read it on their own［D］is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openlyagainst fairy tales argue that .［A］fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children［B］fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent［C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［D］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］told only once［B］repeated many times［C］told in a realistic setting［D］presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］have a very bad effect on children［B］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］help children to come to terms with fears［D］harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead ofbeingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.［C］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even thesefew people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be muchbetter off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案（1）相关内容:。

Sometimes homework is returned 31 brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is 32 for learning the material assigned. When research is 33, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with 34 guidance. It is the 35 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “ Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet o f Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“ days”, “ late days” or “ nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work andrest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46.How did the dog perform his duties?［A］ He was delighted to show them off.［B］ He did his best but was not often successful.［C］ He did them quickly to get them over.［D］ He had few opportunities to do them.47.What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］ They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］ Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］ They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］ They breed well, producing many young dogs.48.As a result of Williams' work .［A］ he did not get enough sleep［B］ there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］ the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train ［D］ the dog was confused about the time of the day49.It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］ Williams had to go to work at night［B］ the dog made too much noise in the house［C］ Williams made them all get up early［D］ the dog would not let them see the newspaper50.Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］ he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］ he was unconscious all that time［C］ he thought the wallet was in the house［D］ he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance” and a red light may mean “ Danger! Keep back!” , You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In asingle eye there are millions of very small things called “ cones” , These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51.Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］ some may see everything in shades of green［B］ few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］ few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green［D］ very few may think that everything in the world is in green52.When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］ colours only［B］ shapes and colours［C］ shapes only［D］ darkness only53.According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.［A］ because they hunt at night［B］ because they cannot see light［C］ because they have no cones and rods［D］ because they have no cones54.According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］ as well as human beings can not see some colours ［B］ have fewer cones than human beings［C］ have less rods than human beings［D］ can see colours as well as human beings55.Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］ Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］ Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.［C］ All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not.Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56.In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［ A］cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it［B］ will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］ must be made easy so that children can read it on their own［ D］is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57.According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that .［A］ fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children［B］ fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent［ C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［ D］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58.In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］ told only once［B］ repeated many times［C］ told in a realistic setting［D］ presented vividly59.In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］ have a very bad effect on children［B］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］ help children to come to terms with fears［D］ harm children greatly60.According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of beingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.［C］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. Weare never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of everyday life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案（1）相关内容:“”“”At the end, Xiao Bian gives you a passage.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.As I was searching for “angel money”,I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn’t have money for paychecks yet.Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house.Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.We had some really good people, but we still didn’t have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.Louise was brilliant and missednothing. She had been watching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.“I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You’ 11 do well. You’re going to work hard for it, but it’ s satisfying when you build your own company.”Who would have thought I’d find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.46. For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.[ A ] the salary it pays to its staff[ B ] the interest it pays to the bank[ C ] the way in which it raises capital[ D ] the speed at which it spends money47. By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.[ A ] the money borrowed from banks[ B ] the money spent to promote sales[ C ] the money raised from close friends[ D ] the money needed to start a business48. To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.[ A ] put up with unfair terms[ B ] change your business line[ C ] enlarge your business scope[ D ] let them operate your business49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________.[ A ] they were underpaid at theirprevious jobs[ B ] they were turned down by other companies[ C ] they were confident of the author and his business[ D ] they were satisfied with the salaries in his company50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.[ A ] she wanted to join his company[ B ] she knew he would build a team[ C ] she knew his plan would succeed[ D ] she wanted to help promote his salesText 2Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element--some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check theaverage number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a pub-lic clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up.Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter ( if you are reading a novel) or every section or group of ten or twelve pages ( if it is a text-book) and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If youfind you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter.You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your "normal" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a ‘lightning speed’ reading through (probably 600 w. p. m. ) you will usually find that your “normal” speed has increased-perhaps. by as much as 50-100 w. p.m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.51. According to the passage, a “pacing” device_________.[ A ]is used to time student’ s reading speed[ B ]is. not used in most, speed reading courses[ C ] is used as .an aid to vocabulary learning[ D ] should be used whenever we read alone52. In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_________.[ A ] avoids the need for reading faster[ B ] is not the same as pacing[ C ] may seem unworkable at first[ D ] helps you to remember your page number53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_______.[ A ] every chapter[ B ] every section[ C ] every four or five pages[ D ] every ten or twelve pages54. The purpose of the “lightningspeed” exercise is to_________.[ A ] increase your speed by scanning the text first[ B ] test your maximum reading speed[ C ] help you understand more of the content of the book[ D ] enable you to win reading races against your friends55. The best title for this passage wouldbe_________.[ A ] Hints for Successful Reading[ B ] Hints for Speed Reading[ C ] Effective Reading[ D ] Lightning Speed ExercisesText 3There is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study agree: men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in 2-year-olds. It continues through school days and persists into adulthood. It is even constant acrosscultures. And there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology in the male sex hormone testosterone.If there’s a feminine trait that’s the counterpart of male aggressiveness, it’s what social scien-tists awkwardly refer to as "nurturance". Feminists have argued that the nurturing nature of women is not biological in origin, but rather has been drummed into women by a society that wanted to keep them in the home. But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numerous to ignore. Just as tiny infant girls respond more readily to human faces, female toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal cues from others. And grown women are far more adept than men at interpreting facial expressions: A recent study by University of Pennsylvania brain researcher Ru-ben Gur showed that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. The only suche-motion men could pick up was disgust.What difference do such differences make in the real world? Among other things, women appear to be somewhat less competitive--or at least competitive in different ways--than men. At the Harvard Law School, for instance, female students enter with credentials just as outstanding as those of their male peers. But they don’ t qualify for the prestigious Law Review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials attribute to women’ s discomfort in the incredibly competitive atmosphere.Students of management styles have found fewer differences than they expected between men and women who reach leadership positions, perhaps because many successful women deliberately imitate masculine ways. But an analysis by Purdue social psychologist Alice Eagly of 166 studies of leadership style did find one consistent difference: Men tend to be more“autocratic”-making decisions on their own--while women tend to consult colleagues and subordinates more often. Studies of behavior in small groups turn up even more differences. Men will typically domi-nate the discussion, says University of Toronto psychologist Kenneth Dion, spending more time talking and less time listening.56. The passage mainly discusses__________.[ A ] how sex differences are demonstrated in social relations[ B ] how hormone determines sex differences[ C ] why there are differences between males and females[ D ] why men and women have different social roles57. Which of the following is true of wome n’s nurturing nature according to the passage?[ A ] It is not inborn in any sense.[ B ] It is inspired by women’ s families.[ C ] It is caused by social prejudice.[ D ] It is partly biological in origin.58.

It can be inferred from the passage that the writer_________.[ A ] denies the difference sexes make in real life[ B ] is prejudiced against men[ C ] discourages women to be competitive[ D ] treats sex difference objectivelyPart BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about energy and making use of it. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.Jackson:Viewed from a scientist’s standpoint, all of the energy contained in fuel either now or in the future becomes heat. Some ofthe heat is used directly or produces useful work. The rest is lost or rejected. That is to say, it is radiated into the atmosphere from the engines, motors, furnaces, power lines, television sets, boilers and all the other energy-consuming machinery that makes our wheels go around.Browning:It is necessary to improve the efficiency with. which we use energy in order to do more work. But improvement cannot come overnight, and there are limits beyond which not even science can help. According to the Center for Strategic and International studies, about three quarters of the energy we use to move things, including ourselves, accomplishes no useful work.Jeffrey:In terms of efficiency, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation may be using en-ergy more efficiently thanprivate automobiles. Unless private automobiles can operate at near capacity, their overall efficiency is poor. For example, an urban bus carrying 36 passengers may achieve an efficiency of around 120 passenger-miles per gallon of gasoline. But buses are not al-ways fully loaded, and sometimes they carry no passengers at all.Vandenberg:It is true that buses can sometimes run without passengers. City trains seem to be very effi-cient, but they suffer the same shortcomings as buses and cost more. Except for rush hours, com-muter trains seldom run at full capacity. This wastes even more energy and is more than the management can afford. As a result, commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people.Nathan:For some people, mass transportation may serve their needs. For others, acombination of mass transportation and private transportation may be preferable. Better design and wise use of both mass transportation systems and private vehicles will play an important part in helping us make full-er use of energy for transportation.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Jackson [ A ] City trains and buses have different faults to overcome.62. Browning [ B ] The efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population.63. Jeffrey [ C ] Public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.64. Vandenberg [ D ] Private cars usually run at full capacity.65. Nathan [ E ] No fuel energy is fully used.[ F ] A combined means of transportcan help increase energy efficiency.[ G ] Problems of energy loss can never be completely solved.SECTION IV Writing(40 minutes)Directions:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66. You have read the job advertisement below in a newspaper and you want to apply for the job. Write a letter of application to the manager of the company, Mr. Meed, giving all the necessary personal information.

Here is a picture of a traffic accident caused by a man crossing the street in a hurry.Write an essay of approximately 120 words describing the accident and giving your comment on it.THIS IS THE END OF THE TEST.第一部分听力1～25略第二部分英语知识运用参考译文结婚二十多年后，一个丈夫可能依然不能理解她的妻子. 她怎么能从来不会语塞呢?她是如何记得数年前度假时遇到的夫妻的名字的?现在我们知道该怎么告诉她了：那是因为她的大脑.尽管情绪和行为上的差异明显有文化上的原因，但最近有一项重大突破性的研究表明男女间令人迷惑的差异可能源于大脑. 男性和女性的大脑大部分都一样，可是她们大脑的大小、结构和观察力绝对不一样.大致上说，女人的大脑，就像她们的身体一样，比男人的大脑小10％-15％．因此她们大脑里用于语言的区域里脑细胞要比男人的密集.女孩子一般说话比较早，读书比较快. 原因可能在于女性在阅读的时候左右脑都用上了. 相反，男人在阅读的时候只用左脑.在任何年龄女人的记忆力都比男人好. 她们将名字与人物对应起来的能力比男人强，而且她们记清单的能力也比男人强. 人们所记的最清楚的事件是与情感联系在一起的. 因为女人用产生情绪的右脑比男人用的多，因此她们会自动记忆。

PETS三级考试模拟试题及详解【圣才出品】

模拟试题及详解全国英语等级考试（PEST）三级笔试模拟试题及详解（一）SECTION I Listening （略）SECTION II ReadingPart ADirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes(运动员). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place, young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain othersocial skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷)in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.26. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is _____.[A] to make sports less competitive[B] to make sports more challenging[C] to reduce their mental stress[D] to increase their sense of success27. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _____.[A] it can help them learn more about society[B] it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves[C] it enables them to find flaws in themselves[D] it can provide them with valuable experiences28. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes_____.[A] without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidence[B] in order to make them remember life’s lessons[C] believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development[D] so as to put more pressure on them29. According to the passage parents and coaches should _____.[A] help children to win every game[B] pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports[C] enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports[D] train children to cope with stress30. The author’s purpose in writing the passage is _____.[A] to persuade young children not to worry about criticism[B] to stress the importance of positive reinforcement to children[C] to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement[D] to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout【答案及解析】26.C 推论题。

Traffic jam is very common in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, especially in the rush hour. As people’ s life standard improves, private cars become very popular. People regard them as a symbol of wealth and status. But does it really increase people’ s welfare? It is hard to say. If you are stuck on the road for two hours a day, how can you say it is a kind of enjoyment of life? Furthermore, the increase of private cars has a very bad effect on environment. The green - house effect and the acid rain are both closely related to the air pollution. Therefore, private cars should not be encouraged in our society.B: I completely agree with Candidate A. Traffic jam has already become more and more severe in big cities. A lot of peoplespend more than three hours on the road to and from work, and at least half an hour is wasted on waiting in the traffic jam. It is really annoying.题目2B: This picture shows that a thief in a bus is stealing a person ‘ s purse, but no one wants to stop him. They are pretending that they don’ t see it. The reason why people are so cold - hearted is that they don’ t want to get into trouble. Life is becoming busy nowadays. There are always too many things to deal with. People don’t want to put their energy on something that is none of their own business. It seems that people are becoming more selfish. But should we blame them? I don’ t think so. They have already got too much burden in their life, so it is reasonable that they only think about themselves.A: I am afraid I can’ t agree with Candidate B. Busy life can not be the reason for people to become cold - hearted. The whole society is a big family. People should try to help each other. Every body will meet some trouble in their life and people should rely on each other.。
