Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main th ing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervousExactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what youwrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper(1). The topic of the passage is ________A. how to be a good writerB. how to be a good speakerC. how to express yourself with your wordsD. how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2). The public speech course mainly teaches students ______A. how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB. how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC. how to collect data needed and organize itD. how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3). The similarity between making a public speech and writing isthat _______A. you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB. you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC. you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD. both of them have audience(4). In the opinion of the author, public speaking is much easier than writing because _______A. public speaking requires less effort than writingB. it’ s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC. you face the audience directly in public speaking; while writingis otherwiseD. in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5). The author of this passage probably is a ________A. bossB. politicianC. writerD. professor2."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil warwas the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B. "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" was not very interestingC. those who don''t speak English can not have read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D. the book "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" did a great deal in the American Civil War(2). How old was Mrs. Stowe when her world famous book was published? ( )A. About 60 years old.B.Over 50 years old.C.In her forties.D. Around 30 years old.(3). What do you learn about Mrs. Stowe from the passage? ( )A. AShe had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War.B. She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C. She was better as writing as using a sword.D. She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America? ( )A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B. She disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.(5). What can we learn from the passage? ( )A. We needn''t use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".3. The ordinary raindrop is a mighty earth mover with sufficient strength to cut rock. When rainwater collects on the surface of the ground, some of it evaporates and some of it sinks into the earth.The remainder begins to flow downhill, commencing its lengthy journey form brook to stream to lake, or to a river that will carry it to the sea.As water flows along the ground, it picks up sand, pebbles, even boulders. It uses them to gnaw at the sides and bottom of its channel, gradually loosening more earth.By this process enormous amounts of mud and rock are moved from the land to the sea. Each year the Mississippi River carries 730 million tons of solid matter into the Gulf of Mexico.This constant hauling of land into the sea is lowering the United States’ average height above sea level at a rate of about one foot every 9000 years. If erosion continues at the same rate, the United States will be worn completely down to sea level in about 23 million years.(1). Flowing water gradually makes its channel ______.A. narrowerB. deeperC. widerD. both B and C(2). The average height of the United States above sea level ___.A. is being raised each yearB. remains constantC. will reach sea level in 9000 yearsD. is being lowered little by little(3). Erosion by water results in _______.A. wearing down the soilB. building up landC. enriching the soilD. both B and C(4). Implied but not stated: ________A. Millions of years ago the United States was higher than it is nowB. Great amounts of land are moved to the sea by riversC. The water that sinks into the earth also reaches the oceanD. The Gulf of Mexico will be filled up in about 23 million years(5). The best title for this selection is ________.A. How Water Destroys MountainsB. How Rivers Help UsC. The Average Height of the United StatesD. The Mighty Raindrop4. It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it. Then life is no longer difficult. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent ( 代表 ) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.(1). From the passage, it can be inferred that ( ).A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is difficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems(2). The writer probably used one short sentence in the first paragraph to ( ).A. save spaceB. persuade readersC. make readers laughD. get readers'' attention(3). The main idea of paragraph three is that ( ).A. most people feel life is easyB. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. Problem solving is part of life(4). According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ( ).A. encourage them to learnB. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problemC. help them learn to deal with painD. teach them how to respect from problems(5). The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt, instruct" suggest that ( ).A. we do not learn from experienceB. we do not learn when we are painC. pain teaches us important lessonsD. pain cannot be avoid答案:一、单项选择题(60分,共 60 题,每小题 1 分)1.

(阅读理解题)The comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustomed to. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.Young people are very adaptable; they can adjust to changing comfort zones with ease. They can socialize with homeless people in the morning and be equally at ease at a formal banquet in the evening. As we age, the ability to adapt towide-ranging comfort zones becomes more difficult. Social prejudice narrows the comfort zone range. The comfort zone can be a decision making tool.Comfort zones are directly related to our dreams or goals, which is associated with self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). In order to grow and change, we must first be discontent with our current comfort zone. We must realize that all meaningful and lasting changes occur first in daydreaming and then they work their way into reality. The more clearly and vividly we fantasize our dream, the stronger and more real the pictures on the subconscious level will become. Once our subconscious accepts thisimage and its expectation, it will go to work, searching for a way to bring it into reality. If we feel that these things are too good for us, we will find ways to fail. If, however, we intentionally imagine the change we want, build an expectation of the change mentally and emotionally, and we will find ways to acquire dream and, when mentally ready, it will arrive faster than we ever thought possible.For some people, problems, suffering, poverty, bad breaks are their comfort zone. They find comfort in finding fault and complaining about their misfortune. The same is true for businesses. Management and workers have grown used to seeing things go wrong and expect them too. Management finds comfort in finding fault with workers and workers and vice versa.Note: If the comfort zone we are seeking is beyond our current income, then, we need to develop a service that has greater value than our current one. Money, power and influence are not goals; they are rewards ONLY for personal achievement.(1). (单选题) As one grows older, ______.

(阅读理解题)Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feeling must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself o r herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism: they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one: “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in buildingself-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weakness as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.(1). (单选题) What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” in Para.1?(本题3.0分)A、Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B、People’s shyness made them care too much about their appearance and actions.C、It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D、Shy people think they are different from others.学生答案: B解析:得分: 3(2).

Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement.Passage OneIn the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.11. Scientific evidence shows overeating is the obvious cause of weight problem.A) TB) F12. American people of the 1910s were thinner than today.A) TB) F13. Several modem studies show that fatter people eat more on average than thinner people.A) TB) F14. Studies show that fat people are less active than slim people.A) TB) F15. Those who ran the most lost the greatest amount of body fat.A) TB) FPassage TwoOne way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals, such as mice and monkeys. The scientists in this laboratory are experimenting on mice. They are studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time, over one hundred experiments are being done in this laboratory.In one of these experiments, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three cups.After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.The second group of mice is normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years, not the three years or more of the thinner mice.The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought - about a year and a half. But they aren't as healthy. They're sick more often than the other two groups.16. The scientists in the laboratory are studying the relationship between the amount of food anddiet.A) TB) F17. The first two groups are receiving the most fooD)A) TB) F18. The first group is the thinnest because they do not have a healthy diet.A) TB) F19. Normal mice usually live for two years.A) TB) F20. The text tells us that mice that eat less and exercise more will live longer.A) TB) FPassage ThreeA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did:to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.21.The first paragraph tells us that ________.A) the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB) it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC) children and parents are trying to understand each otherD) it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other22.In a more traditional society, old people ________.A) have their children respect and listen to themB) do not care for their children at allC) expect their children to rebel against themD) do not live together with their children23.In American society young people ________.A) do not need to find jobsB) marry people younger than themC) have better education than their parentsD) leave home at an early age24.Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A) Young people like to depend more on themselves.B) Parents do not love their children dearly.C) American society changes rapidly.D) Parents expect too much of their children.25.The main idea of the passage is ________.A) that the generation gap needs consideringB) when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC) why the generation gap existsD) how we can reduce the generation gapPassage FourIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of l ife or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.26. What is the main idea of this passage?A) It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B) The role of time in social life over the world.C) If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in theU.S.D) Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.27. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?A) A matter of work.B) A matter of life or death.C) You want to see him or her.D) You want to make an appointment with him or her.28. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?A) at 7: 00 am. B) at 4:00 pm. C) at the midnight. D) at 4:00 am.29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner partyis extended only three or four days before the party date.B) There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about theconcept of time.C) It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A.D) Promptness is valued highly in American life.30. From the passage we can safely infer that ________.A) it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB) the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC) it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD) if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanationPart III Grammar and Vocabulary (20 points)Directions:There are ten incomplete sentences in this part.

One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniquesthat learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them becomebetter learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learningprocess and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, andevaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).A. funB.interestingC.efficientD.exciting(2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.A. thinkingB.evaluationC.performanceD. activities(3). Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( )A. booksB.notesC.tutorsD.themselves(4). Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them ( )A.simplerB.more familiarC.more concreteD. more applicable(5). Which of the following statements is true? ( )A. Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.B.Learning strategies are completely unobservable.C.Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.D.Teache rs are the sole judges of students’ progress.2. Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does goodto both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they havetiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form the corals and giving inreturn oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.(1). Some birds like to sit ona sheep because ( ).A. they can eat its parasitesB. they depend on the sheep for existenceC. they enjoy traveling with the sheepD. they find the position most comfortable(2). The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ( ).A. birds and parasitesB. birds and sheepC. parasites and sheepD. sheep, birds and parasites(3). What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ( )A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.C. Some plants depend on each other for fooD. Some animals live better together.(4). What does this article talk about? ( )A. Two kinds of animals for a partnership.B. Most animals only have connection with animals.C. The connection between the living things.D. Corals have some connection with plants.3. Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary.A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.(1). According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ( )A. It can help you keep good health.B.It can help you maintain body weight.C. It can help you get rid of illness.D.It can help you find a good job.(2). When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ( )A. To do exercise.B. To try some “light” beer.C. To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread.D. To try both A and C.(3). The following statements are true except ( ).A. If people try some special food such as “light” beer when they want to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight.B. Both the diet and exercise play an important role in losing weight.C. Few American people who were trying to reduce weight would do exercise with their diet.D. If people walk one mile daily, and keep doing so for one year with diet, he would lost tenpounds.(4). The word “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ( ).A. decreaseB. loseC. lessenD. cut down(5). This passage is mainly about ( ).A. the meaning of exerciseB. the way to reduce weightC. the relation between lose weight and exerciseD. the importance of losing weight4. Bill Gates, the head of the world’s biggest computer softwarecompany, the Microsoft Corporation, has a mission: “to put a computer on every office desk and in every home”. Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. This deep personal interest, together with his technical skills and his business marketing skills helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.The central vision of Bill Gates is the “information highway”. This is a network for computers that will link every home, office and shop in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them. But is this communication by computer along the “information highway” really a good thing? Won’t we be sitting at home, only “socializing” with our computer, paying big compani es money so that we can receive information that some large communication corporation somewhere had decided is “acceptable” for us to read? No, says Bill Gates, he thinks that the phrase “information highway” is aterrible phrase. It makes people think that we are all going down the same road, he says. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between the rich and the poor will narrow.In the meantime, however, the gap between the rich and the poor is still there. To be added to this now is the gap between those with computers and those without.(1). Ever since he was a college student, Bill Gates has ________.A. become very interested in the computerB. set up a goal to popularize the computerC. discovered great potentials in computer businessD. dreamed of having a giant computer company(2). Bill Gates’ success depends on the following except__________A. his vision and his travel over the globeB. his technical skills and business marketing skillsC. his deep personal interest in developing computer scienceD. his strong desire to make big money(3). The word “vision” ( para.3) probably means________.A. SightB. ideaC. effortD. daydream(4). The “information highway” will mainly be used _______A. in human communicationB. to help link every home, office and shopC. in business, shopping and educationD. to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor(5). The best title for this passage is probably _________A. Bill Gates, his Vision and MissionB. Computer and InformationC. Advantages of the Computer NetworkD.

Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement.Passage OneIn the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.11. Scientific evidence shows overeating is the obvious cause of weight problem.A) TB) F12. American people of the 1910s were thinner than today.A) TB) F13. Several modem studies show that fatter people eat more on average than thinner people.A) TB) F14. Studies show that fat people are less active than slim people.A) TB) F15. Those who ran the most lost the greatest amount of body fat.A) TB) FPassage TwoOne way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals, such as mice and monkeys. The scientists in this laboratory are experimenting on mice. They are studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time, over one hundred experiments are being done in this laboratory.In one of these experiments, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three cups.After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.The second group of mice is normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years, not the three years or more of the thinner mice.The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought - about a year and a half. But they aren't as healthy. They're sick more often than the other two groups.16. The scientists in the laboratory are studying the relationship between the amount of food anddiet.A) TB) F17.

The text tells us that mice that eat less and exercise more will live longer.A) TB) FPassage ThreeA few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did:to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.21.The first paragraph tells us that ________.A) the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from peopleB) it is out of date to talk about the generation gapC) children and parents are trying to understand each otherD) it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other22.In a more traditional society, old people ________.A) have their children respect and listen to themB) do not care for their children at allC) expect their children to rebel against themD) do not live together with their children23.In American society young people ________.A) do not need to find jobsB) marry people younger than themC) have better education than their parentsD) leave home at an early age24.Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?A) Young people like to depend more on themselves.B) Parents do not love their children dearly.C) American society changes rapidly.D) Parents expect too much of their children.25.The main idea of the passage is ________.A) that the generation gap needs consideringB) when the generation gap is necessary in American societyC) why the generation gap existsD) how we can reduce the generation gapPassage FourIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of l ife or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.26. What is the main idea of this passage?A) It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B) The role of time in social life over the world.C) If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in theU.S.D) Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.27. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?A) A matter of work.B) A matter of life or death.C) You want to see him or her.D) You want to make an appointment with him or her.28. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?A) at 7: 00 am. B) at 4:00 pm. C) at the midnight. D) at 4:00 am.29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner partyis extended only three or four days before the party date.B) There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about theconcept of time.C) It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A.D) Promptness is valued highly in American life.30. From the passage we can safely infer that ________.A) it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB) the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC) it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business partyD) if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanationPart III Grammar and Vocabulary (20 points)Directions:There are ten incomplete sentences in this part.

Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community, so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work.. The area's city councilwoman (女议员) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing . The neighborhood faced many problems.Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls. There are charts for parking problems, crime, and for problems in vacant buildings . People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman..It was too much for Mark. " The problems are too big ," he thought . He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time . Nothing I could do would make a difference here."Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. "People should just take care of themselves , " he decided. "That's enough to do . I can't take on all the problems of the world."As he neared the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn't have a free hand . As Mark got closer, her other child , a littlle boy , suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out . Mark ran to take the boy's arm and led him backto his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks!" she said . " You've got great timing!"" Just being neighborly," Mark said . As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus. On one of them was " Small acts of kindness add up ."

The passage is mainly about ____________.A) how individuals can help make a differenceB) running a neighborhood meeting to solve its problemsC) citizens' reactions to the problems they faceD) solving problems through group action2. Lord Woolf, the most senior judge in Britain believes that the civil courts are a nightmare for those trapped in their procedures. The average High Court case takes more than three years from the legal document to trial. Many personal injury cases take twice as long. The costs of these legal cases are out of proportion to the stakes. Lawyer’s fees in personal injury cases amount to more than half the claim. Some multinational (跨国的) companies complain that the British court system is slower and more expensive than any other.The new Lord Chief Justice, Lord Bingham, describes the excessive costs of civil litigation (诉讼) as a cancer eating at the heart of the administration of justice. His point is that when justice is expensive, most people do not have access to it. These days, only the very rich or the very poor (whose costs will be paid by the state) can afford to go to court. Rising costs, therefore, also means a growing burden on the taxpayer: public expenditure on civil legal aid has increased a lot since 1983.Cases have allowed running on and on because, at present, the lawyers set the pace, and theyhave no interest in seeing a quick result. Lord Woolf’s remedy is to shift control of litigation (诉讼)from lawyers to judges.Quicker, cheaper justice is in almost everybody’s interests; but there will be opposition from two sources. The Treasury (财政部)is worried that, even though the court costs per case should fail, the costs to the state of the system as a whole will probably rise: there will have to be more judges, more staff members in the court, and the court system will need to be computerized. But such objections can be easily met. Higher court costs could be passed onto the litigants who would still pay less overall because their lawyer bills would be so much smaller.Opposition may also come from lawyers. Some of them will complain that handing power to the courts will restrict their ability to represent their client’s interests. If justice is cheaper, it will also be rougher. Such an outcome is possible, but it is far from inevitable. In any case, the finest legal system in the world would still not provide justice if most people do not have access to it.36. Lord Woolf describes the British court system as a nightmare because _________.A) many people are trapped in its proceduresB) it takes at least 3 years before any court decision is madeC) it is expensive and inefficientD) it is irresponsible and indifferent37. As a result of the high costs of civil litigation, _____________.A) the poor are actually not protected by lawB) few people in Britain go to courtC) justice is hardly existent in BritainD) most people can not afford to go to court38. In order to avoid the delay of cases, Lord Woolf suggests that _________.A) lawyer’ s fees be reducedB) judges take over the control of litigationC) lawyers no longer set the paceD) the court prescribes a time limit for each case39. Lord Woolf’s remedy is opposed to by lawyers because ___________.A) the cheaper a thing is, the poorer the quality will beB) the court will restrict their ability to represent their client’ s interestsC) the costs to the state of the system as a whole will probably riseD) the lack of money and time will result in a decline in the quality of their work40. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the last sentence of the passage?A) In dealing with any legal cases, the finest legal system is not necessarily the most efficientif people do not have faith in it.B) It is not always the case that the best legal system is still able to provide justice even if mostpeople do not have access to it.C) Whatever happens, the finest legal system in the world will not do people justice if peopledo not go to court.D) No matter how good a legal system is, it would not be able to perform its duty if people are denied access to it.3. A number of recent books have reworked subjects, forms and writing techniques. Today's children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution, political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator, all kinds of books are being published.Before they know to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical(立方形)or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like work-books which come with watercolors and paintbrushes, and comic books(漫画册)filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others.Not that the traditional children's books are being neglected. There are still storybooks where the pages pop up(跳起)when they are opened, to make a forest or a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot(情节)or ending they want, and books on CD, which are very popular in rich industrialized countries.The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. "Previously, giving a child a book as often seen as improper," says Canadian author Marie-France Hebért. Her books, published by a French-language publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. "There's a real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin."41."Reworked" as used in Paragraph 1 means "___________________".A) rewordedB) rewrittenC) processedD) revised42.In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books ___________________.A) recently publishedB) of various shapesC) babies likeD) popular among children43.Which of the following statements is true?A) Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books.B) When you buy work-books you will be given free comic books.C) Traditional children's books are not being removed from market.D) Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.44. The expression "get across to children" in the last paragraph probably means"___________________".A) pass on to childrenB) make children believeC) teach childrenD) get around to children45.The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have ___________________.A) warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth shown by publishersB) warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity shown by publishersC) showed great enthusiasm in publishers of treat wealthD) reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers4. Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes ourenvironment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere, they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damage, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation, and during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.46. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that________________.A) it protects him against the harmful rays from spaceB) it provides sufficient light for plant growthC) it supplies the heat necessary for human survivalD) it screens off the falling meteors47. We know from the passage that _________________.A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatalB) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in comingC) radiation is avoidable in space explorationD) astronauts in spacesuits needn’t worry about radiation damage48. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ______________.A) is insignificant B) seems overestimatedC) is enormous D) remains unknown49. It can be inferred from the passage that _________________.A) the Apollo mission was very successfulB) protection from space radiation is no easy jobC) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenD) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers50. The best title for this passage would be ___________________.A) The Atmosphere and Our EnvironmentB) Research on RadiationC) Effects of Space RadiationD) Importance of Protection against RadiationPassage 5Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learnto recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from other.Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words charactering differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.51.

大学公共英语三级(PETS 3)真题试卷及答案

大学公共英语三级(PETS 3)真题试卷及答案

大学公共英语三级(PETS 3)真题试卷及答案SECTION Ⅱ Reading(50 minutes)Part ADirectionsRead the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A、B、C、D.Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. "123456"or“12345” are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers (and hackers ) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo !, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date-70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords;those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games."Nag screens" that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For despite their differences,the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt:“An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.”And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures,many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it's time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are _________.[A] easy to remember[B] hard to figure out[C] random numbers[D] popular names27. Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to_______.[A] lack of research tools[B] lack of research funds[C] limited time of studies[D] limited size of samples28. It is indicated in the text that________.[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] young people tend to have secure passwords[C] nag screens help little in password security[D] passwords for credit cards are usually safe29. The underlined word"compromise"in Para. 5 most probably means_______.[A] comprise[B] compensate[C] endanger[D] encounter30. The last paragraph of the text suggests that______.[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C] big websites limit the number of guesses[D] big websites offer users convenient accessText 2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain' s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made hole s at the stones’ foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain’ s largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved.“Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments," says Glancey. “At the time places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.”“Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural histo ry. ”But Lubbock couldn’t buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally,in 1882,it was voted into law. It had,however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain' s heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31.According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was _____.[A]a royal property[B]utterly neglected[C]legally protected[D]a public property32.One stone in Stonehenge fell over because _____.[A] rats weakened its foundation[B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it[D]visitors chipped pieces off it33.Lubbock proposed a bill to _____.[A]push people to learn history[B]ensure government function[C]enforce ancient site protection[D]push visitors to behave properly34.When the bill was voted into law in 1882, it had been made less _____.[A] severe[B] biased[C] implicit[D] complex35.This text is mainly about _____.[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments BillPart BDirections: Read the texts from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship. For questions 36 —40,match the name of each person to one of the statements (A -G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy:As the mother of two girls,I was moved to tears by your article,because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don,t think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel likethis. I think it’s really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.Anna:My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings. And celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth:There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later. My own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in...Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I acceptedthis and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming,and hope that she enjoys her life.Ruth:I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a newspaper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom are hotter and smarter than 1 was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them.Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.Note:there are two extra statements.Statements:36. Lucy37. Anna38. Beth39. Clare40. Ruth[A] You have spoken out the true feelings of mothers like me.[B] It is helpful for mothers to reveal their hidden feelings.[C] Emotionally mature mothers understand their daughters.[D] I understand my mother now,being a mother myself.[E] You have expressed what most mothers feel but dare not say.[F] Do your duty as a mother and hope for the best for your daughter.[G] A mother should not envy her children and make public her improper feelings.Part CDirection:Read the following text from which five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences -C the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text (41 -45). There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Whenever I hear a recording of John Denver singing "Sunshine on My Shoulders," I find myself smiling, drawn to a love of the sun and outdoors I´ ve had for decades as a Michigan native. Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shirtless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good.(41)_____Studies have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun expo-sure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the sun´ s rays. (42)_____Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to better heart health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily.(43)_____ Research on 280 volunteers there found that people hada reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground.

Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line,expecting to congratulate her daughter within the hour.Concentrating on running,Lee didn’t realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Turning to another runner, she asked how mu ch further. “That’s when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,” Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running.Realizing Lee wasn’t among the runners crossing the 5k finish line,her mom alerted race officials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worried but she couldn’t quit. She needed to finish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line,after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy. “I see her with a medal and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real’” she said. “She decided to just keep running and not give up. " “I’m really proud,” said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.第二部分阅读Part AText 126.A 27.D 28.C 29.C 30.B Text 231.B 32.A 33.C 34.A 35.D Part B36.A 37.E 38.D 39.F 40.G Part C41.F 42.B 43.D 44.E 45.C Part D46.G 47.I 48.J 49.F 50.L 51.E 52.B 53.O 54.K 55.A 第三部分写作【高分范文】Part ADear sir/ Madam,I bought Pride and Prejudice from online bookstore last Friday, and I received it yesterday.

She finished the race and won a medal. When asked, she said she decided to just keep running and not give up. This moved us greatly, as well as her own mother.In daily life, many people give up easily for hardship, for money, for something else. Maybe they have a lot of reasons for the giving-up, but that s why they cannot taste the happiness when they stick to the end and finally achieve something.For students, study also requires long-term hardworking. We should not give up, but keep it up .Thus, we can equip us with useful knowledge and have a bright future.。

trained specialists risk their lives every day fighting fires. it’s eas y to see why so many people are eager to become firefighters: serving as oneis heroic and adventurous. but becoming a firefighter takes more than merely strength and bravery. before you canbecome an active-duty firefighter, you need to spend about 600 ho urs in training, over the course of 12 to 14 weeks. that’s somewhere from 40 to 48 hours per week, which makes firefighter training a full-time job. training typically occurs at a fire academy, which is often run by the fire department, a division of the state government or a university.much of this training is actually in the classroom. during their academic coursework at the fire academy, students study english, physics, chemistry, mathematics and fire science in relation to real-life fire situations. to be effective problem solvers and keep up good communication on the job, a fire fighter needs to be well-rounded. the requirements to enter a training program vary from department to department, but typically, firefighters must: ? ? ? ? ?be at least 18 years old (sometimes 21).have a high school diploma or equivalent, though many fire departments now require a college education. be physically fit.have a clean criminal record.have corrected 20 / 20 vision.firefighting is a highly competitive field. thousands of applicants apply every year across the country, butmost are rejected. many departments hire every two years,and typically give staff positions to about 30 applicants at atime. while some fire departments only require applicants to hold a high school diploma, many look for applicants with two years of college credit from an accredited college or university. firefighting is so competitive, in fact, that many applicants obtain emt certification before applying to be a firefighter, making them more desirable to departments that are hiring. today, more applicants than ever have four-year degrees in fire science or a related field, which has made the field even more competitive.to enter a training program, applicants should take three exams: a written test, a candidate physical ability test (cpat) and an ability test. the written exam typically consists of around 100 multiple choice questions and covers spatial awareness, reading comprehension, mechanical reasoning, logic, observation and memory. the primary focus of the physical ability test is agility, upper body strength and endurance. each task is timed and tests the applicant’s ability to endure sustained physical activity. these tasks reflect what students do day in and day out in the fire academy. it’s unlikely that an applicant who struggles to complete the tasks will survive 14 weeks of training, and so it is a strong indicator of future success. physical tests vary from academy to academy, but here are some common tasks:climb and descend an aerial ladder set at 60 degrees up 50 feet. ? drag a 2-inch tube charged with water 100 to 200 feet.operate a 30-foot extension ladder, which requires pulling a rope with tension equivalent to lifting a50-pound bag of cement. ? carry a 12-foot ladder through an obstacle course.perform an attic, or crawl space, crawl in full firefighter gear, including scba (self-contained breathing apparatus).complete search and rescue drills.in order to survive, firefighters must be able to think critically and clearly and solve problems quickly under extreme stress. this can be especially difficult in an actual fire, so training instructors conduct live fire training drills where they purposely set buildings on fire to give students opportunities to develop these skills. the overall goal of this behavioral training is to form good habits in students through repeated exposure, live fire training is conducted in burn buildings,which are structures, built or acquired, to be intentionally burned for firefighter training. let’s take a look at what a typical live fire training looks like.an instructor gives a briefing of the day’s activities, and students dress in their high-tech, multi-layered specialty clothing. these clothes can withstand temperatures up to 1,200 degrees fahrenheit. next, the students enter the burning building. one instructor goes before the students, and one trails behind. the students place themselves on the same side of the tube and distance themselves an arm’s leng th from each other. other students, who won’t be operating the tube in the structure, prepare to move the tube line forward as the crew goes further into the structure. the crew gets down into a crawling position as they enter the burning area, making sure to keep the tube line between themselves and the flames. as the students approach the area they will attack, they take their positions on the line, one operating the nozzle(喷嘴), the others supporting. the instructor gives the go-ahead and the students open the nozzle, attacking the flames. at the instructor’s command, the crew closes the nozzle positioned away from their bodies to avoid steam burns on exposed skin. the nozzle operator moves to the back of the line and everyone else moves forward. the crew repeats this process until everyone has a turn operating the nozzle. when they put out the fire, the crew leaves the structure quickly but safely, leaving only the nozzle operator and a back-up crew member behind. when it’s clear the fire is completely put out, the crew works together to retract the tube line from the structure.after the training drill, the instructor checks the students for injuries. once everyone is checked out and accounted for, the instructor reviews the activity and provides constructive feedback.1. people can take firefighter training as a part-time job.2. the academic coursework only focuses on the skills of firefighting.3. a 30-year-old physically fit man, who was a criminal many years ago, is not allowed to enter a trainingprogram.4. 5. 6. 7.the three exams which are required to enter a trainingprogram are irrelevant to the firefighter training. after entering the burning building, students should stay very close to each other. the students should make sure that the building won’t burn again before they leave.there are usually no students who get injured in the live firefighter training.8. typically, firefighter training takes place ____________ run by the fire department, which is a division of the state government or a university.9. today, more applicants than ever before have____________, which has made the field even morecompetitive.10. the goal of live fire training is to form good habits in students through ____________.part iii listening comprehension (30 minutes,30%)section adirections: in this section, you
