Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B ,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1One day in my class, Mafia shared her feelings about money, "Money worries me. I think I want to live without money because I hate it. I HATE MONEY. " We were all touched by Mafia' s words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us. After class I offered to help Mafia deal with her financial problems. She hesitated to accept my offer, and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve. I quickly assured her that I wouldn' t make her do more than she was able to. I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn' t burden her with guilt, judgments, or impossible tasks. All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.Maria still resisted my offer, and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people. "I' 11 never understand money," she said. "My facts are meaningless. " "I don't deserve to have money. " "I never have enough. " "I have too little to manage. " "My financial position isn't worth looking at;" and the most devastating one of all, "I just can' t do it. "Going home that day, I couldn' t get Maria out of my mind. Her attitude conveyed the same negativity and fear that I believed annoyed many people. I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively. My counseling has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear for survival. Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don' t believe we can do it well, and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life, but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were. It locks us up in self-doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power, our spirit.46. Maria's words moved the author and others because they were____.( A ) in the same financial trouble( B ) in the same finacial condition( C )of the same family background( D ) of the same feeling over the issue47. Maria wouldn' t take the author' s offer of help the fear of____( A ) being forced to share her money with others( B ) having to do something beyond her reach( C ) being found guilty of making impossible errors( D ) revealing her judgment about money48. As for money managing, the author intended to tell Maria how to ____.( A ) overcome her fears( B ) make wise decisions( C ) avoid making mistakes( D ) learn the necessary skills49. The word "devastating" (in boldface in paragraph 2) probably means ____( A ) convincing ( B ) instructive ( C ) shocking ( D ) shameful50. According to the author, people's anxieties about managing money result from their under-standing of money as the only source of__( A ) life ( B ) evil ( C ) spirit ( D ) peaceText 2Every newborn baby is dealt a hand of cards which helps to determine how long he or she will be allowed to play the game of life. Good cards will help those who havethem to have a long and healthy existence, while bad cards will bring to those who have them terrible diseases like high blood pressure and heart disease. Occasionally, cards are dealt out that doom their holders to an early death. In the past, people never knew exactly which cards they had been dealt. They could guess at the future only by looking at the kind of health problems experienced by their parents or grandparents.Genetic testing, which makes it possible to find dangerous genes, has changed all this. But, until recently, if you were tested positive the a bad gene you were not obliged to reveal this to anyone else except in a few extreme circumstances. This month, however, Britain became the first country in the world to allow life insurers to ask for test results.So far, approval has been given only for a test for a fatal brain disorder known as Huntington' s disease. But ten other tests (for seven diseases) are already in use and are awaiting similar approval.The independent body that gives approval, the Department of Health' s genetics and insurance committee, does not have to decide whether the use of genetic information in insurance is ethical. It must judge only whether the tests are reliable to insurers. In the case of Huntington' s disease the answer is clear-cut. People unlucky enough to have this gene will die early, and cost life insurers dearly.This is only the start. Clear-cut genetic answers, where a gene is simply and directly related to a person' s risk of death, are uncommon. More usually, a group of genes is associated with the risk of developing a common disease, dependent on the presence of other genetic or environmental factors. But, as tests improve, it will become possible to predict whether or not a particular individual is at risk. In the next few years researchers will discover more and more about the functions of individual genes and what health risks--or benefits--are associated with them.51. The word "cards" in Line 1 refers to( A ) diseases ( B ) genes ( C ) problems ( D ) tests52. The function of genetic testing is to ___( A ) enable people to change genes( B ) help people to create good genes( C ) predict diseases people may have( D ) detect what diseases people have accurately53. Health authorities allow insurers to use genetic information for the purpose of ________( A ) improving genetic testing technology( B ) safeguarding patients' interests( C ) promoting disease prevention( D ) reducing insurance payments54. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?( A ) Genes may contribute to some common diseases.( B ) Environmental factors cause more diseases than genes.( C ) It is common that most fatal diseases are caused by genes.( D ) It is impossible to get clear-cut genetic answers at present.55. The author's purpose in writing the passage is to__( A ) indicate the way genetic testing works( B ) show the power of one' s genetic makeup( C ) introduce genetic testing and its function( D ) reveal the influence of environment on genesText 3Just outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow. In Bra, that' s close enough to being right on time. Though not far from the industrial city of Turin, Bra smells of roses, and leisure is the law. It is both the home of an international movement that promotes "slow food" ( the opposite of American fast food) and one of 31 Italian municipalities that have joined a sister cause, the "slow cities. " These cities have declared themselves paradises from the accelerating pace of life in the global economy. In Bin, population 27,866, the town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday. They forbid cars in the town square. All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic. The city offers cut-rate mortgages to homeowners who do up their houses using a local butter-colored ma-terial and reserves choice commercial real estate for family shops selling handmade chocolates or specialty cheeses. And if the movement leaders get their way, the slow conception will gradually spread across Europe.The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that slow is good, but also that it can work. The Slow City movement, which started in 1999, has turned around local economies by promoting local goods and tourism. Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra, where unemployment is only 5 percent, about half the nationwide rate. Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year. Shops are thriving, many with sales rising at a rate of 15 percent per year. "This is our answer to globalization," says Paolo Satumini, the founder of Slow Cities.France is the favored proving ground for supporters of what might be called slow economics. Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model : short hoursand long vacations. Yet the French are more productive on an hourly basis than counterparts in the United States and Britain, and have been for years.The mystery of French productivity has fueled a Europe-wide debate about the merits of working more slowly.56. The church clock that is a half hour slow serves as a symbol of___ _( A ) industrial development( B ) slow movement( C ) global economy( D ) city growth57. In Bra, local specialty businesses__( A ) are not open on Thursdays and Sundays( B ) are not allowed in the town square( C ) enjoy low-rate loans from the bank( D ) enjoy priority in business sites58. The low unemployment in Bra is mentioned to prove that__( A ) unemployment is in proportion to population( B ) a good concept works well in its birthplace( C ) the Slow City movement is successful in Bra( D ) tourism brings great job opportunities59. It can be inferred from the passage that__( A ) British workers work longer hours than the French( B ) French workers work longer hours than the Italians( C ) Italian workers are less productive than the Americans( D ) American workers are more productive than the British60. The increased French productivity tends to__( A ) throw doubt on slow economics( B ) confirm merits of slow economics( C ) favor an accelerating pace of life( D ) encourage a slow economic growthPart BDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the importance of doing exercise. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of eachperson to one qf the statements ( A to G)given below. Mark your answers onANSWER SHEET 1.Kenneth Cole:I take pride that our company is one of the leading leather goods manufacturers in the world. We study the consumers' needs carefully and appeal to them in various ways--through wholesale, retail, footwear, leather goods and other related accessories. For me, the ability to relate to the consumer through all these vehicles is very inspiring, and doing business around the world makes it even more exciting.Anita Roddick:Every time I walk by one of my shops and see what an educational role my company plays in a community, it sends chills down my spine. What we do brilliantly is using our facilities in the street and shopping malls to talk about real human issues like AIDS, recycling and community service or to encourage people to speak out against anything they perceive to be unjust. The pride that our shops bring to the staff and local residents motivates me.Sheri Poe:Since l started this company seven years ago, I always dreamt of what it would be some day. Focusing on that vision helps me get through the tough times and find it great fun to meet all the challenges. Also, I think it' s really important that the people you' re working with are as committed to the same vision as you are, so you can support each other and keep each other motivated.Frank Token:One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, "I hate makeup, but I love your company. " That's what motivates me. Even people who don't wear makeup may like our company and our ways of doing business. We work from an inverted pyramid, where the customers are always at the top. They give me the energy to move on. If I had stayed in this business just for the money, I would have de-motivated and closed down years ago.Jerry Greenfield:I'm inspired by doing things that are not normal and that most people think don't make sense. Once 1' m struck with a brilliant idea, I' 11 stick to it and work hard until the dream becomes true. In short, creating something from nothing; discovering innovative ways of doing things give me much pleasure. I' m also inspired by the people I work with. I' m very relationship driven, which is different from most entrepreneurs.Now match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note :there are two extra statements.Statements61. Kenneth Cole62. Anita Roddick63. Sheri Poe64. Frank Token65. Jerry Greenfield (A) We try to satisfy different needs of the consumers.(B) We have a highly efficient team of market researchers.(C) Originality and cooperation with others help me move on.(D) Our shops' strong sense of social responsibility really motivates me.(E) Our customers inspire and motivate me more than anything else.(F) I pursue a goal with determination and dedication.(G) We persist in developing new products.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．Suppose you are the secretary of the manager of a company．Now You are asked to informby efnail all personnel in your company of the dinner party to be held on Christmas Eve Your email should include the following information：date and place of tile party，who(maybe someone important)is coming to the party，and some interesting activitiesoYou should write approximately l00 words。

2007年3月公共英语考试三级模拟试题一及答案(3)

2007年3月公共英语考试三级模拟试题一及答案(3)Text 3Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in the way of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite from one to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope（摸索） in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck （受到严重伤害的人）and a bitter person.56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they _____ .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential57. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_____ .A. much competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experienceC. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance58. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?A. Your job must suit your interest.B. Your job must set a pattern of life.C. Your job must offer you a high salary.D. Your job must not ruin your talents.59.The best title for this passage would be ____.A. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A LivingC. Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD. How To Choose A Job60. The word "pathetic"in paragraph 2 most probably means ____ .A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touchingPart BDirections:The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers' Union on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For question 61-65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That's all. It's pity so many people haveto be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown:It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.Mr. Bob Davis:Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don't we all?Mr. Baker:My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody 's forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut then.Miss Slater:Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less.

PETS3_2007.3_答案精讲

2007年3月PETS3笔试答案及精析第一部分听力1一25略第二部分英语知识运用参考译文当两手相握，我们就向对方传递一些自己的东西。

海伦o凯勒双耳失聪．双目失明。

在别人介绍她认识马克o吐温之后，她评价说："和他握手，我可以感觉到他眼睛里的光芒。

"透过某种难以言喻的方式，吐温向凯勒展现了自己的魅力。

追溯到刚开始流行握手的时候，这样的说法大概也是正确的，虽然没人知道握手这种礼节究竟是如何发展起来的。

一种普遍的解释是，很早以前当人们遇到陌生人时伸出手以显示他没有武器。

据推测，握手就是这样出现的。

然而历史学家布莱恩-伯克说不是这么回事。

他认为握手暗含以血起誓"的意思。

他解释说，古代的人们不会光凭别人说的话就信任他，他们要握紧双手来显示他们是以心脏的力量来起誓，也就是他们的血液，因此握手就预示着信任。

这种信任的意义一直流传至今。

商场上的人常常仅仅通过说"让我们为此握手。

"来表示遵守协议。

，或许最值得信赖的握手发生在1975年7月17日，当阿波罗一苏伊士(联盟)号宇宙飞船太空对接试验成功的时候。

在这两艘宇宙飞船对接时，美国宇航员托马斯o斯坦福德抓住苏联宇航员阿列克塞o列昂诺夫伸过来的手。

他们的握手向世界传递了和平和友谊的信号。

26．C【精析】本题考查语态。

这个句子的主语是Helen Keller，主语与introduce的关系是被动关系，而after在这里作介词，后面应该接动名词，故选C。

27．A【精析】本题考查介词的用法。

in在…之内(上)，在…期间，从事于，符合，穿着；of…的，由…制成的；with有，以，用，同…，由于，和…一致，赞成，关于，就；0ver在…之上，越过。

此题指的是凯勒在和吐温握手的过程中所产生的感觉，故选A。

28．A【精析】本题考查近义词辨析。

communicate沟通，通信，传递、传达(意见、感情、信息等)；convert使转变，转换…，使…改变信仰；shift替换，转移，改变，移转，推卸，变速；suggest建议，提出，使想起，暗示。

全国英语等级考试（PETS）三级笔试模拟试题及详解（⼀）【圣才出品】全国英语等级考试（PETS）三级笔试模拟试题及详解（⼀）考试时间：120分钟SECTION I Listening(1～25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 1Help, I’ve fallen into a sea of personal identification numbers (PIN)—and I can’t get out.It’s my third call in as many weeks and I recognize Beth’s voice immediately, I’ m hoping she doesn’t recognize mine, but it’s obvious by her sudden shift from warm to frosty that she does. “You probably know why I’ve called,” I say. “I can guess,” Beth responds flatly, having dealt with my type dozens of times already today. “Password problem?” She was right, I had forgotten it again.Like millions of others, I’ m stuck in password hell. With computer key chains, bank card PINs, voice-mail codes, and home alarm systems, things have spun out of control. I have 32 secret codes (that I can think of).Experts warn that the best way to protect against identity theft is to never reuse or write down your passwords and always be casual in your selections--don’t use pet names, or especially the names of ex-girlfriends. And it’s recommended to change passwords often. But come on. Making it impossible for others to access your life only makes living your life impossible. Surveys indicate that most people use the same one or two passwords for everything. After all, it’s not easy to produce something casual, yet memorable. “When the information doesn’t apply to anything in the real world, it’s very hard to get from the brain,” says Albert Katz, a psychology professor. That’s why some are shifting to picture passwords. Since the pictures can’t be written down or shared with another person, they’re more secure. And pictures, says Katz, are easier for the human brain to remember than numbers and letters.Better still is the day when access to everything will be just a fingerprint. But poor Beth will remain my Internet-banking savior. “All you need to do,” says Beth, “is tell me the secret password you set up for security purposes. “ What? If I can’t remember my PIN, how do you expect me to remember some secret w ord? But on my third try I guess it and am once again allowed access to my very small fortune. I thank Beth, but don’t make any promises. Both of us know we’ll speak again soon.26. From the text we learn that the writer______.[A] has a declining memory[B] has too many secret codes[C] has trouble dealing with Beth[D] has problems with his bank accounts27. According to the text, Beth replied to the writer______.[A] uncooperatively[B] sympathetically[C] considerately[D] impatiently28. It is recommended by experts to______.[A] use the same one or two PINs all the time[B] keep passwords in mind instead of on paper[C] set up several codes for Internet-banking accounts[D] keep both number passwords and picture passwords29. It would be easier to memorize your PINs if you______.[A] produce them in a casual manner[B] use numbers instead of letters[C] relate them to the real world[D] change them frequently30. Which word best describes the tone of the writer?[A] Critical.[B] Scornful.[C] Humorous.[D] Matter-of-fact.【答案及解析】26.B 细节题。

Answer the questions on each text by choosingA, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before.As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which standsfor rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46 A good title for this passage is ___ .A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means _ .A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy48. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ___ .A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly49. During REM, __ .A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B50. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don't have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they haveto so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Somepeople, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one's sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. Weget so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn't it?There are many other arguments for and against television. Wemust realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader's concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ____ .A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap53. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that _____A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _____A. its qualityB. people 's attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use itText 3Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not knowing what lies in theway of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security.leavers face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they As a result,they are employed doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our schoolcan earn a living . Some stay long at a job and learn to like it ;others quite fromone to another looking for something to suit them, the young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation. Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope（摸索） in the dark and their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them, Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment, It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest .Noting is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and ultimately make you an emotional wreck （受到严重伤害的人）anda bitter person.56. The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they ______________ .A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on an unsuitable jobC. think of nothing but their salaryD. are not aware of their own potential57. The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that __ .A. much competition has to be facedB. many employees have no working experienceC. the young people only care about how much they can earnD. schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance58. Which of the following statements is most important according to the passage?A. Your job must suit your interest.B. Your job must set a pattern of life.C. Your job must offer you a high salary.D. Your job must not ruin your talents.59. __________________________________ The best title for this passage would beA. What Can A Good Job OfferB. Earning A LivingC. Correct Attitude On Job-huntingD. How To Choose A Job60. The word "pathetic"in paragraph 2 most probably means __A. splendidB. miserableC. disgustedD. touchingPart BDirections:The 12,000 membersof the Electricity Workers' Union on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For question 61-65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Mr. Mike Smith:It wasn't an easy decision, but we've been asking for a decent wage for years.Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We're only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250 dollars a week. That's all. It's pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by out strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the governmentfor refusing our claim.Mr. Tom Brown:It's totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. Weoffer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that's already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.Mr. Bob Davis:Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big unions have too much power and shouldn't be allowed to strike. O course the electricity want to get more money. Don't we all?Mr. Baker:My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That's what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don't like their jobs, nobody 's forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week likeI have to. Perhaps they'd keep their mouths shut then.Miss Slater:Let's face it. It's neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Perhaps we can't do anything bout it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much"?Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It's just one of those things.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Mr. Mike Smith62. Mr. Tom Brown63. Mr. Bob David64. Mrs. baker65. Miss Slater[A] A % increase is already too much, and I'm here to persuade the Union to see reason.[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability.[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity worker's demands.[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.[F] I must take you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.[G] Weare forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.Section IV Writing (40 mi nutes)You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66. Write a letter to a publishing house asking for information on a book about American culture. Your letter should include:1. the name of the book2. the price of the book3. the discount of group orderYou should write approximately 100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.

2007年3月公共英语考试三级模拟试题二及答案(2)SectionⅡ Reading Comprehension（40 minutes）Part ADirections:Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn't easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there - moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss's office. Would he rage?I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk," I began awkwardly. "I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I'm forty. There's a lot I want to do in life. I'm resigning." "To another paper?" he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn't say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. "I'm glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can't, " he went on. "I wish you all the luck in the world," he concluded. "And if it doesn't work out, remember, your star is always high here."Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody - even though I'd be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. "I'm resigning, Bill, "I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn't looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, "Golly, I wish I were in your shoes."46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______.[A] newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47.

This mightbe called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, Peter! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member's energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day's work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day[C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy.[B] Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.。

2007年3月公共英语考试二级模拟试题一及答案(2)第三部分阅读理解AWhat will man be like in the future-in 5000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain's capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man's eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with use. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.36. The passage mainly tells us that____.A. man's life will be different in the futureB. future man will look quite different from usC. man is growing taller and uglier as time passesD. man's organs' functions will be one the wane37. What serves as the evidence that man is changing?A. Man has got stronger eyes now than he ever had.B. Man's hair is getting thinner and thinner.C. Man's arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.D. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years.38. The change in man's size of forehead is probably because____A. he makes use only 20 % of the brain's capacity.B. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.C. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due time.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.39. What is true about a human being in the future?A. He is hairless because hair is no longer useful.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. His fingers grow weaker because he doesn't have to make use of them.D. He thinks and feels in different way.40. It is implied that ____.A. human beings will become less attractive in the future.B. less use of a bodily organ may lead to its degenerationC. human beings hope for a change in the future lifeD. future life is always predictable.BWith the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today, the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily increasing. One of the biggest such industries is the tourist industry. Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists -- and guides, brochures,souvenirs -- is one of the major industries in many countries. Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the world, this business will no doubt continue to grow. Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment. Movies, TV shows, concerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure. The same can be said of most books, except textbooks. Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time. This list could be greatly extended. But even among these industries, we have mentioned only part of the picture. The people who make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as much a part of the leisure industry as the singers or the hotel clerks.41. What makes leisure business important according to the passage?A. People's leisure time is increasing.B. More and more people begin to show great interests in seeing other parts of the world.C. Improved transportation and accommodation conditions.D. Longer vacations are offered than before.42. What do we know about entertainment from the passage?A. It is the biggest leisure industry.B. Movies, TV shows, concerts and books are usually intended for our leisure.C. People are usually reluctant to pay to watch professional sports.D. Making TV sets and building theatres are also part of entertainment industry.43.What's main idea of this passage?A. With people having more leisure time, tourist industry becomes the biggest industry in many countries.B. With people having more leisure time, entertainment industry becomes one of the major industries in many countries.C. With people having more leisure time, leisure business is becoming more important in economic life.D. With people having more leisure time, leisure business list is beingextended.CThirty years ago not many people would have dreamed of doing the repairs and decorations in their own homes. In those days labor was fairly cheap and most people would have thought it worthwhile to employ a professional painter and decorator, unless of course they were either very hand up or were in the trade themselves. Today, however, it is quite a different story. Men and women in all walks of life turn their hands to all sorts of jobs round the house including painting, papering, putting up shelves and wall units, and tiling walls and floors. Some people with no professional training of any kind have even successfully built their own houses. These jobs have been made easier today by the introduction of prepared materials, which require the minimum amount of skill to use. In every high street through out Britain nowadays there is at least one "Do-it-Yourself" shop containing a vast range of timber, tiles, paints, wallpapers and floor coverings besides tools of every description including power drills and many accessories. "Do-it-Yourself" is a booming business; all these shops do a roaring trade and look like continuing to do so. Probably the main reason for the craze is the high cost of present-day labor and the shortage of building firms willing to do small jobs.44.Why did people employ professional workers to decorate homes thirty years ago?A. Because they could not do it themselves.B. Because professional workers were very cheap.C. Because they had no time.D. Because professional workers could do much better.45.Thirty years later what changes took place?A. People could do everything themselves.B. Few people chose to be a professional workerC. People with no professional training successfully built their own houses.D. New expensive materials required no skills at all.46.What caused the DIY craze?A.

How DIY comes into being.B. Changes in building.C. Changes in housing.D. Great changes in these thirty years.。
