Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letterThe 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 公共英语3级(PET3)模拟试题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' dailypossessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco cameWilliams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he worea 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公共英语3级(PET3)模拟试题A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow andice 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 untilhe 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.

Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything a stranin shades of green—In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully.

Look round you and try toBirds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours.

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,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 fearThere are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, c., do not exist;and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, 公共英语3级(PET3)模拟试题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.

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.If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heartdisease 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.Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost likea tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of 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.公共英语3级(PET3)模拟试题The 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 stit is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.Of 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.Smoking can provide constant consolation.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1I'd been living with my wife for eight years and one night “morn” says, “I guess you guys are never gonna get married. I mean, you've been through jail together, you' e living together, but.., oh, forget it.”“Oh, well,” I said, “put it like that and I'll marry your daughter tomorrow.”Actually, I don't know what we were waiting for, except that for a guy it's never the right time to get married. I' m also suspicious of any two people who don' t struggle with that decision. Part of my problem was that I was still lusting in my heart after other ladies. But somehow I knew that I wasn't going to find another woman remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife. It's a good thing my mother-in-law finally spoke up.I finally gathered my courage one day when we were having a picnic, and popped the question. I also gave my wife a big tourist pamphlet about Switzerland. I wasn't taking any chances.She said no.It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my appetite. Our dog just stared at me, thinking, “If you're not going to eat your lunch, I will.” Finally, I said, “But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say yes.”“Switzerland,” she said, “is filled with precise, humorless people.”“Ma ybe I should have suggested Paris?”For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans would rate a solid “maybe”. But she said no again.When we woke up the next morning, she told me that she'd slept on my proposal. “I guess I was a little rude to you last night,” she explained. Meanwhile, I' m figuring I' m off the hook for this marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be generous.“I asked, you said no. It's okay,” I said. I might have looked a little too relieved because later that day she gave me a little box. Inside was a gold watch. On the back was inscribed. “Yes. I've reconsidered.”I liked the watch, so I did the right thing.46.The reason why the man had waited so long was that he .[ A ] didn' t think eight years was long enough[ B ] suspected that husband and wife would often quarrel[ C ] didn' t think he was ready to propose to her[ D ] was waiting for his mother-in-law' s approval47.The man proposed to the woman because .[ A] he realized he could find no other woman better[ B ] he was afraid that the woman might leave him[ C ] he was eager to visit Switzerland with the woman[ D ] he could finally overcome his fear for marriage48.By saying “I could afford to be generous.” (third paragraph from the bottom) the man implied that he .[ A ] wouldn' t care too much if he stayed single[ B ] could take her to a better place than Paris[ C ] was rich enough to support his wife[ D ] didn't care what she thought about his proposal49.The last sentence “I did the right thing” implied he .[ A ] traveled with his wife[ B ] had a successful marriage[ C ] liked the watch very much[ D ] waited for another eight years50.The best title for this text would be .[ A ] How My Mother-In-Law Helped Me[ B ] How I Received a Gold Watch I Liked[ C ] How I Made My Wife Travel With Me[ D ] How I Came to Marry-My WifeText 2“Hi there. How's it going?”“Oh, fine. Fine. How about this weather, huh ?”“Well, I guess we can always use the rain.”What's that? This story ? Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day, Maybe you' re waiting for the elevator.Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter about traffic doesn' t do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives.Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, “Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion. It's so powerful. It does som ething to you.” “Everymorning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary,” Oliver says, “If I don't make small connection with another person, I can' t work.”What causes it? As a rule, you' re either trying to force something into your life, or you' re using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation.The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time.Take the elevator, for instance. Now there's prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and there's no reason to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does. Making conversation in such peaceful social settings, according to Oliver, “can confirm your territory. It's a way of feeling liked and accepted.”The topics of small talk don't matter. In fact, you don't want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic. It's non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when you're with lots of people doing lots of talking.Let's say you're at a party. Now it' s time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around you, so you don' t look silly standing by the food table alone all night.51.“Small talk”, as interpreted by the author, .[ A ] has no real function in communication at all[ B ] is usually meaningless and therefore useless[ C ] is not as idle as it may seem to be[ D ] is restricted to certain topics only52.According to the author, small talk is often used .[ A ] to invade other' s private affairs[ B ] to share a secret between intimate friends[ C ] to open and maintain channels of communication[ D ] to protect one' s own privacy53.According to the author, topics of small talk may include comments on .[ A ] some political issues[ B ] one' s physical condition[ C ] other' s ways of dress[ D ] the traffic jam54.Why is small talk described as “non-threatening talk in a threatening situation”?[ A] It is used by people to encourage those who are confronted with danger.[ B ] It is used to show that one is enthusiastic and hospitable.[ C ] It is used to create a more friendly atmosphere and to avoid embarrassment.[ D ] It is used by people to protect others in the threatening situation.55.According to the author, at a big party, small talk is used with the purpose of .[ A ] making both others and yourself feel at ease[ B ] excluding those you don't like from joining you[ C ] keeping your voice low so only your friends can hear you[ D ] comforting those who feel lonelyText 3Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money. The back of all dollar bills are green (hence “greenbacks”). The commonly used coi ns are: one cent (penny ), five cents (nickel), 10 cents(dime), and 25 cents (quarter).50 pieces (half dollar) and silver dollars (not really silver anymore) are gaining in usage, while there has been talk of phasing out the penny that's inflation for you. “Always carry plenty of quarters when travelling. Very useful for phones, soda machines, laundry machines, etc.”There is generally no problem in using US dollars in Canada, but this is never possible in reverse.It's useful always to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not carry large sums of cash. Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers' cheques which can be purchased both in the US and abroad and should be in dollar denominations. The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places. Thomas Cook travellers' cheques are also acceptable,especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies. Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank: use them instead to pay for meals, supermarket purchases or whatever. Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you' 11 be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bills. Be prepared to show I.D. when you cash your cheques.Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers' cheques, as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car--indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. The major credit cards are VISA, Master Charge and Access, Diners Club and American Express. If you hold a bank card, it could well be worthwhileto increase your credit limit for travel purposes--you should ask your bank manager.56.Why is it useful to carry enough 25-cent coins with you?[ A ] They can act as small change for the-exact bus fares.[ B ] There is- generally no problem in using them in Canada.[ C ] As a basic unit of money, they are gradually gaining in usage.[ D ] They may come in handy for pay phones or laundry machines.57.It is not necessary to carry cash instead of dollar travellers' cheques because the latter can be .[ A ] used for phones, bus fares and hotel reservations[ B ] used to pay in restaurants and big stores[ C ] used like credit cards, even in remote areas[ D ] exchanged easily, even at car rental companies58.The p hrase …in lieu of‟ (line 2, paragraph 4) most probably means .[ A ] on behalf of[ B ] in line with[ C ] with regard to[ D ] instead of59.Which of the following statements is TRUE?[ A ] Credit cards have more advantages than travellers' cheques.[ B ] Dollar bills are as convenient as credit cards.[ C ] One-cent coins have been withdrawn from circulation.[ D ] You can increase your credit limit as you like.60.This passage is most probably taken from[ A ] a tourist guide[ B ] a bank brochure[ C ] a booklet about car rental[ D ] a handbook on U.S. currencyPart BDirections:Read the texts from a cyber saloon in which five people talked about Tofu (also known as bean curd), a traditional Chinese and Japanese food. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) that he or she is most likely to say. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Jenise:I love peas and beans more than most people, so tofu is a natural choice for me. My Chinese friend Annabelle loves them too, and tells me that soy beans contain an ingredient not present in any other food source, or at least in that concentration, that helps prevent breast cancer. When we share a big bowl of these, we eat with abandon “for medicinal purposes”! I like i t plain although there may be many different ways to prepare it and it may cure other diseases.Lee:In fact, I was probably preprogrammed to like it: as a kid one of my favorite books was Toru and the Tofu (hope I' m remembering the title right), a story about a young Tokyo boy, named Toru, who was given the assignment, his first, of going to the neighborhood tofu maker' s by himself and bringing back some fleshly made cubes for dinner. I can still recall Toru' s unique way of getting it home intact ( with a jar filled with water). It all seemed very strange to the five-year old me in semi-rural Southern California.Hoke:It's great in spicy Sichuan style soups, especially with fish, but I like it fried quickly to give a crisp exterior whilst retaining a moist, soft interior. Steaming is another option, with a pork and prawn mince ( with spring onion) on top of each cube. The thing that I love most is ,the texture--really good tofu is just amazing in the mouth, poised as it is between solidity and fluidity. I' m definitely a fan.Nyby:It's sort of weird to me. You go in to one of those “Mock Vegetarian” restaurants only to find everything on the menu “mock”--mock chicken, mock beef, mock pork, etc. Now whatever you order, it' s tofu molded into something that looks like that particular meat. I don't know about you, but if I' m eating a vegetarian I don' t need to go through a fantasy of pretending I' m eating a veal cutlet or a pork chop or a chicken breast. Is this to delude someone, or distract them from thinking they are eating vegetarian food?Robin:Precisely because it is so “tasteless”, I eat. it like a madman: I like the way it picks up the flavors of the dishes it' s served with. I can enjoy it in lots of different cuisine, in moderate quantities in relation to other ingredients in each dish. If you try them and tell me that you don't think they have much flavor, I' 11 have to disagree because that's not true of tofu. The flavor's mild and you can combine that with the hottest spices in the world, which for me illustrates its most endearing attribute. It does a reasonably good job of absorbing a great many flavors.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61.Jenise [ A ] Real or unreal, who knows?62.Lee [ B ] Don' t deceive yourself and others: tofu is no meat.63.Hoke [ C ] Amazing texture, I enjoy tofu inside out.64.Nyby [ D ] I am constantly at war with tofu.65.Robin [ E ] Tofu hasn' t got a unique taste of its own, but it goes well with any food.[ F ] Eating tofu is a strong childhood memory.[ G ] Tofu is the best medicine.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 received the invitation below, but you will not be able to attend the party.Write a letter to Mr. Smith, explaining the reason why you cannot go and how you plan to make up for it.You should write approximately 100 words.

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 wouldmurmur “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 andrecognized 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 ofcolour 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 mi llions 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 notattract 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 humanbeings.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.下载文档。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的公共英语pets-3精选阅读题模拟测试，希望能给大家带来帮助!Passage Thirteen (Cryptic Coloring)Cryptic coloring is by far the commonest use of color in the struggle for existence. It is employed for the purpose of attack (aggressive resemblance or anticryptic coloring ) as well as of defense (protective resemblance or procryptic coloring ). The fact that the same method concealment, may be used both for attack and defense has been well explained by T.Belt who suggests as an illustration the rapidity of movement which is also made use of by both pursuer and pursued, which is similarly raised to a maximum in both by the gradual dying out of the slowest through a series of generations. Cryptic coloring is commonly associated with other aids in the struggle for life. Thus well-concealed mammals and birds, when discovered, will generally endeavor to escape by speed and will often attempt to defend themselves actively. On the other hand, small animals which have no means of active defense, such as large, numbers of insects, frequently depend upon concealment alone. Protective resemblance is far commoner among animals than aggressive resemblance, in correspondence with the fact that predaceous forms are as a rule much larger and much less numerous than their prey. In the case of insectivorous Vertebrata and their prey such differences exist in an exaggerated form. Cryptic coloring, whether used for defense of attack, may be either general or special. In general resemblance the animal, in consequence of itscoloring, produces the same effect as its environment, but the conditions do not require any special adaptation of shape and outline. General resemblance is especially common among the animal inhabiting some uniformly colored expanse of the earth’s surface, such as an ocean or a desert. In the former, animals of all shapes are frequently protected by their transparent blue color, on the latter, equally diverse forms are defended by their sandy appearance. The effect of a uniform appearance may be produced by a combination of tints in startling contrast. Thus the black and white stripes of the zebra blend together at a little distance, and “t heir proportion is such as exactly to match the pale tint which arid ground possesses when seen by moonlight.” Special resemblance is far commoner than general and is the form which is usually met with on the diversified surface of the earth, on the shores, and in shallow water, as well as on the floating masses of algae on the surface of the ocean, such as the Sargasso Sea. In these environments the cryptic coloring of animals is usually aided by special modifications of shape, and by the instinct which leads them to assume particular attitudes. Complete stillness and the assumption of a certain attitude play an essential part in general resemblance on land; but in special resemblance the attitude is often highly specialized, and perhaps more important than any other element in the complex method by which concealment is effected. In special resemblance the combination of coloring, shape, and attitude is such as to produce a more or less exact resemblance to some one of the objects in the environment, such as a leaf of twig, a patch of lichen, a flake of bark. In all cases the resemblance is to some object which is of no interest to the enemy or prey respectively. The animal is not hidden from viewby becoming indistinguishable from its background as in the case of general resemblance, but it is mistaken for some well-know object.In seeking the interpretation of these most interesting and elaborate adaptations, attempts have been made along two lines. The first seeks to explain the effect as a result of the direct influence of the environment upon the individual (G.L.L.Buffon), or by the inherited effects of efforts and the use and disuse of parts (marck). The second believes that natural selection produced the result and afterwards maintained it by the survival of the best concealed in each generation. The former suggestion breaks down when the complex nature of numerous special resemblances is appreciated. Thus the arrangement of colors of many kinds into an appropriate pattern requires the cooperation of a suitable shape and the rigidly exact adoption of a certain elaborate attitude. The latter is instinctive and thus depends on the central nervous system. The cryptic effect is due to the exact cooperation of all these factors; and in the present state of science, the only possible hole of an interpretation lies in the theory of natural selection, which can accumulate any and every variation which tends toward survival. A few of the chief types of methods by which concealment is effected may be briefly described. The colors of large numbers of vertebrate animals are darkest on the back and become gradually lighter on the sides, passing into white on the belly. Abbot H. Thayer has suggested that this gradation obliterates the appearance of solidity, which is due to shadow. The color harmony, which is also essential to concealment, is produced because the back is of the same tint as the environment (e. g. earth), bathed in the cold blue-white of the sky, while the belly, being cold blue-white and bathed inshadow and yellow earth reflections produces the same effects. This method of neutralizing shadow for the purpose of concealment by increased lightness of tint was first suggested by E.B.Poulton in the case of a larva and a pupa, but he did not appreciate the great importance of the principle. In an analogous method an animal in front of a background of dark shadow may have part of its body obliterated by the existence of a dark tint, the remainder resembling, e.g., a part of a leaf. This method of rendering invisible any part which would interfere with the resemblance is well know in mimicry.1. The black and white stripes of the zebra are most useful form[A]. hunters. [B]. nocturnal predators[C]. lions and tigers. [C]. insectivorous Vertrbrata2. Aggressive resemblance occurs when[A]. a predaceous attitude is assumed.[B]. special resemblance is utilized.[C]. an animal relies on speed.[D]. an animal blends in with its background.3. Special resemblance differs from general resemblance in that the animal relies on[A]. its ability to frighten its adversary. [B]. speed.[C]. its ability to assume an attitude. [D]. mistaken identify4. The title below that best expresses the ides of this passage is[A]. Cryptic coloration for Protection. [B]. How Animals Survive.[C]. The uses of Mimicry in Nature. [D]. Resemblances of Animals.5. Of the following which is the least common?[A]. protective resemblance. [B]. General resemblance.[C]. Aggressive resemblance. [D].

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。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1In November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure. The authorities promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were certain that it would occur again within five years at the latest. In July 1997, there was a repeat performance which produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965, the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of comparative prosperity. In 1997, the disaster was much more serious because it came when unemployment was high and the city was suffering form one of its worst heat waves.In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1997, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted. Looters smashed shop windows and helped themselves to jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs which far outnumbered them and included armed men.Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 p.m., when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.The vast majority of New Yorkers , however, were not involved in looting. They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerator, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.46. From the first paragraph, we know that _____ were right.A. the authoritiesB. the pessimistsC. both the authorities and the pessimistsD. neither the authorities nor the pessimists47. In what way was the blackout of 1997 not really a repeat performance?A. There was much more disorder.B. This time the electricity supply failed.C. It was quite unexpected.D. It did not occur within five years of 1965.48. As far as maintaining the peace was concerned, conditions in 1997 were comparatively ___________.A. more favorableB. less favorableC. unchargedD. improved49. What caused the blackout in July 1997?A. Excessive heat probably made people switch on too manyelectrical appliances.B. Because of unemployment, some machines were not in proper working order.C.

Many of the looters were armed with guns.C. There were not enough policemen to catch them all.D. They were hidden inside big buildings.Test 2Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. In the 1960s a new tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery.The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world, for a year large number of different complaints. The word “laser” means: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. As we all know, light is hot, any source of light ------- from the sun itself down to a humble match burning ------ will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb becomes intensely strong as it is concentrated to a pinpoint-sized beam.Experiments with these pinpoint beams showed researchers that different energy sources produce beams that have aparticular effect on certain living cells. It is now possible for eye surgeons to operate on the back of human eye without harming the front of the eye, simply by passing a laser beam right through the eye-ball. No knives, no stitches, no unwanted damage----a true surgical wonder. Operations which once left patients exhausted and in need of long period of recovery time now leave them feeling relaxed and comfortable. So much more difficult operations can now be tired.The rapid development of laser techniques in the past ten years has made it clear that the future is likely to be very exciting. Perhaps some cancers will be treated with laser in a way that makes surgery not only safer but also more effective. Altogether, tomorrow may see more and more information coming to light on the diseases which can be treated medically.51. Which of the following would be appropriate to describe the instruments of surgical operations up until 1960s?A. Traditional.B. ComplicatedC. Remarkable.D. Revolutionary52. What do we find after the development of the laser in the 1960s?A. Industrial revolution brought surgery changed greatly.B. Medical help became available for industrial workers.C. The study of art went through a complete revolution.D. Human being’s methods in surgery changed greatly.53. The reason why the laser beam is very strong is that ____________.A. it is artificially illuminatedB. it is made up of a concentrated beam of lightC. it sends out heat in all directions.D. its heat is increased by the heat of the sun54. After the use of the laser beam, surgeons can perform operation which __________.A. leave their patients with negative effectsB. can treat only human eye diseasesC. do little damage to their patientsD. make their patients need a long time to recover55. The rapid development of laser techniques has meant that __________.A. surgery is likely to improve considerablyB. in another ten years we shall be able to cure cancerC. in future all the diseases can certainly be curedD. operations will be performed more complicatedly in the futureText 3Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its motivating force is, in the broadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money mean competition and competition is stressful; it is often most intense in the larges cities, where opportunities are greatest. The presence of huge numbers of people inevitably involves more conflict, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and criminals who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity of urban life, but today’s ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that is extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them.As a defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves; contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory; journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure. There are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individuals, for example, reducing awareness through drugs or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general; they cause widespread loneliness and destroy the community’s concern for its members. Lack of informal social contact and indifference to the misfortunes of others, if they are not personally known to oneself, are amongst the major causes of urban crime.【2016年公共英语PETS-3阅读理解模拟题】。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEETl.Text 1It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "Smith Enter- prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardlylooked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone washard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. ThenMarie realized that the day's work in the office began justbefore Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he livedin Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same trainevery morning, arriving in the office at 9 ：35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.46.Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _ .[A]it was her first day in a new job[B]she was a little bit late for work[C]she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place[D]there was no answer from inside the office47. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went intoas .[A]she had been there only once[B]Mr. Smith was not in the office[C]nobody was doing any work[D]the office had a new appearance48.The people in the office suddenly startedworking because .[A]they saw a stranger in the office[B]their morning break was ended[C]no one wanted to talk to Marie[D]the boss was about to arrive49.We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise . .[A] would start their work by listening to a joke. [B] were cold to newcomers[C]were always punctual for work[D]lacked devotion to the company50.The best title for this text would be. .[A] Punctual Like a Clock[B] A Cold Welcome[C]An Unpunctual Manager[D]Better Late Than NeverText 2For most of us, dieting is a frustrating fact of life.With so much conflicting nutritional information about, itcan be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let' s start by discounting these confusing myths.1. All calories are created equalWhat you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain, according to research.Calories from fat pack on the pounds. The reason ： during digestion, the body burns many more calories metabolizing protein and carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat.2. Desserts are tabooCakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet, the expert says. Moderation is the key. CVt down on other meals if you'll be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets.Or indulge, but take only a few bites.3. Fast foods are forbiddenA plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice.So is grilled chicken or a green salad with low-cal dressing. But watch out for French fries, milkshakes and batter-dipped chicken or fish.4. Fasting is the fastest dietSome studies suggest that drastically reducing calorie intake switches the body into a " starvationmode", which conserves calories and decreases your metabolic rate. The more frequently you deprive yourself of food, the better your body may get at storing calories. So,in the long run, repeated fasting may actually undermine your weight-loss efforts.5. To keep weight off, simply watch what you eat .According to experts, exercise combined with dieting ensures weight Joss better than dieting alone does. Experts also agree that sticking with regular, moderate exercise is more important that occasional vigorous workouts are. Obesity-researcher Kelly Brownell encourages patients to makea series of small physical efforts ： taking the stairs insteadof the elevator and parking the car far from where you are going and walking.Most important, before getting caught up in dietary myths, let good sense shape your eating habits. Your body will thank you for it.51. It cannot be inferred from the first paragraph that_ .[A]the information about dieting is always-contradictory[B]there are too many weight-loss strategies to choose from[C]dieting is always troublesome to most people[D]people should not believe the ideas of dieting52. One of the elements to gain weight is _ .[A]the amount of the food you eat[B]over sleeping[C]laziness[D]the kind of food you eat53.Which of the following saying is true about dieting?[A] You can't eat sweets.[B] Fast foods are not good.[C] You should not neglect any meals.[D] Fasting is always helpful54.The phrase "starvation mode" means .[A] being very hungry[B]eating what you like when you are hungry[C]weight-loss efforts[D]being ready to eat55.The word "shape" in the last sentence means .[A] break [B] form[C] get rid of [D] changeText 3Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employees and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services required by the community. .Though the size of the workforce relies greatly on the size of the total population,there are several other aspects which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work,then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution.If the population grows rapidly from natural increase,i. e. the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths,then as a total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging,which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing veryslowly,and as people retire from the workforce, there are inadequate numbers of young people entering it to take placeof those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate. 'The age distribution of the population has several important influences on the economy. If the population isaging and there is an increase in the number of peopleretiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the abilityof the economy to provide a reasonable level of socialservices to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared forin special homes or hotels,finance must be available forthat purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative tothe total population,then the government tax receipts are relatively low and either the govemment has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxedmore heavily.56. Labor force is composed of .[A]people who are available to work and earn income[B]self-employed people only[C]only those who are looking for an employment[D]only the employees57.The factor which does NOT influence the size ofthe worldorce is _ .[A]the size of population[B]age distribution of the population[C]national economy[D]natural increase58.The conclusion which can be drawn safely fromthe second paragraph is that _[A]a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the work-force[B]a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce[C]the larger the number of the aged in a population,the higher the proportion of the workforce[D]if the population has an evenly spreaded age distribution,the workforce will be lower59. When a population is said to be aging,_ .[A]more people are retiring than people entering the workforce[B]the birth rate is growing '[C]there is an oversupply of workforce[D]young people outnumber old people60.The population which is top-heavy with olderpeople poses a problem to _ .[A] the government [B] the economy[C]the workforce [D] all of the abovePart BDirections ：Read the following discussion. among five people about workplace dress, for questions 61 t0 65,match the name of each person. (61 t0 65) to one of the statements (A to G ) given below. Mark you answers on. you.r ANSWER SHEETl.Marian ：I have a friend who is a team leader of about 25 employees who are primarily women. She' s found a trick that works for her most of the time, but -not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a pictureof them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. Ifthey say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visualproof drives her message home.Catherine：I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom areroutinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It' s okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeal, but you won't getnoticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tonsof styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way.Roget：A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate ( 不适宜的 ) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn' t mean you're excused from ironing and it's certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on apair of socks!Briggs ：I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no bare feet or legs and that type of thing. I guessI agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office. I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there.BiH：You're forgetting the most important point-it's "their" business.

PETS-3模拟题2PartⅠReading ComprehensionPassage 1Very high waves are destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens. One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its strength.But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave, 25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms (600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.1. According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs _______.A. regularlyB. rarelyC. alwaysD. predictably2. We know from this passage that out at sea, when waves going in opposite directions meet,their force __________.A. causes great damageB. extends to the ocean floorC. is liable to lessenD. increase rapidly3. It is clear from the passage that coastal depth _________.A. is the only factor influencing the strength of high wavesB. influences the power of high wavesC. has no in influence upon the strength of very high wavesD. is irrelevant to the question of the power of high waves4. From the second paragraph of the passage we know that power of very high wavesstriking the shore is _________.A. constantB. equalizedC. variableD. perpetual5. From your reading of the passage, which of the following is true?A. At a depth of 1,200 feet the effects of a violent surface storm are frightful.B. A submarine commander navigating his vessel at a depth of 700 feet will not beaffected by a raging surface storm.C. A typhoon 500miles out at sea can stir up the ocean floor.D. If high waves cab strike the shore with a horizontal force of 75 million pounds, thevertical force of such waves can have an even greater effect upon the ocean floor.Passage 2To the Editor:Your article on plans for aiding the elderly to pay their housing costs was not quiteclear in several aspects. I would like to clarify the requirements and exemptions (豁免) available for those who qualify.In the first place, a tenant 62 years old or older must live in a rent-controlled or rent-stabilized dwelling, pay more than one-third of his or her income for rent, and have a yearly income of $8,000 or less. Such a tenant must reapply each year thereafter. Once is not enough. It is understood, however, that should the landlord make a major improvement, a new furnace for example, all tenants are not excluded from such a rent increase.Landlords receive tax exemptions as reimbursement (赔偿) for the money they lose in not increasing rent for the elderly. In New York City the cost of these tax reductions is $ 41 million a year, a tremendous figure, but likely to be higher if more of the elderly poor learn they may apply for exemptions. The city is so slow in processing applications that some tenants have paid the full rent. They ought to have done so. They are fully protected by the law and once they have applied for exemption, they do not have to pay rent increases.I appeal to you to clarify this issue so that the poor elderly of our city may become aware of the housing benefits for which they qualify.Clara TorresOffice of Housing for the Elderly6. Would an unemployed woman, 65 years old, with an income of $ 6,000 in SocialSecurity and $ 3,000 in aid from her children qualify for exemption from rent increases?A.

Which of the following does New York City provide to the landlords who do not increaserent for the elderly?A. A list of restrictions.B. $ 41 million a year in cash refunds.C.

Elderly tenants who qualify for exemptions from rent increases have nevertheless paidrent increases because ____________.A. they have the necessary incomeB. they are old and ignorantC. their applications are not processed quicklyD. the law does not protect them10. The word "clarify" is related to the word “_______”.A. classicB. clashC. classifyD. clearPassage 3Grandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself, “I would never sit back in rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me.” No one could have had a more productive old age.She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modem Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous sense of color and form. “I think real hard till I think of something real p retty, and then I paint it.” she said.11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Grandma Moses: A Biographical Sketch.B. The Children of Grandma Moses.C. Grandma Moses: Her Best Exhibition.D. Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists.12. According to the passage. Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to__________.A. decorate her homeB. keep activeC. improve her salaryD. gain an international reputation13. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. Her husband's death had so great impact on Grandma Moses that she turned topainting for relief.B. Grandma Moses knew nothing about painting before she was in her seventies.C. Most of her pictures are concerned about rural life.D. Her pictures were attractive once appearing in the market.14. Grandma Moses spent most of her life________.A. nursingB. paintingC. embroideringD. farming15. The word “spotted” (Para. 3) could best be replaced by_________.A. speckledB. featuredC. noticedD. damagedPassage 4By 1970, according to a World Wildlife Fund report, only about 4,500 tigers survived throughout the world—half of them in India. Mr. Foresters, who followed and counted tiger footprints, estimated that in May 1972 only about 1,800 tigers existed in India. Project Tiger supported by W. W. F. was immediately launched. Nine tiger reserves were created, with armed guards protecting them.The project provided opportunities for researchers from India and abroad to study tigers in the reserves and gather previously unavailable information about their habits. Studies show that a male tiger may control a hunting territory of between 10 and 20 sq. kms. depending on its age, size and strength. The territory of male includes the smaller territories of three or four tigresses.A tiger marks the boundaries of its territories by spraying urine (尿) and other bodily liquids on bushes. But it tries to avoid territorial fights, being guided by the distinctive body smell of other tigers. Tigers fight to death only when a tigress is defending her young, or when a tiger is guarding a tigress from the attentions of other males.The popular image of the tiger is that of a merciless and unconquerable hunter. But studies show that it catches only one of 20 victims (牺牲品) it tries to attack.Fears have recently developed that Project Tiger has been too successful. It has enabled the tiger population to double (by mid-80s), but India's human population has also grown out of control. Currently it is 750 million and likely to be 900 million by the end of the century. Land problem is becoming serious and many rural people feel bitter about the fact that some rich forests are reserved for tigers. A growing number of attacks by tigers on man has added to the hostility (敌意).16. The ultimate aim of Project Tiger is to_________.A. study the growth rate of tigersB. protect tigers from being killedC. promote the breeding of young tigersD. analyze the behavioral patterns of tigers17. Studies have shown that________.A. a tigress never attacks until attackedB. the tigress is not as fierce as the tigersC. a tiger usually fights another tiger to defend its own territoryD. the tiger is not an efficient hunter as is commonly described18 According to the passage, a tiger's territory_________.A. remains unchangedB. is often defended by tigressesC. expands as the tiger grows upD. is the cause of most fights19. Some people are afraid that Project Tiger_________.A. has been carried too farB. has not received enough attentionC. has failed to achieve its goalD. is not worth the money spent on it20. The author seems___________.A. to be enthusiastic about Project TigerB. to have a matter-of-fact attitude towards Project TigerC. to have a hostile attitude towards Project TigerD. to be satisfied with Project TigerPart II ClozeSome people believe that international sports create good will between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.____21____say that the opposite is true: that international competitions_____22_____false national pride and _____23____to misunderstanding and____24____.
