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 veryfirst 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 shecould get on one going to the sixth floor. When shefinally reached the office marked "Smith Enter-prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the dooragain, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound ofvoices, 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 hadthe interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an officeat 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 asshe 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 was hard 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. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he livedin Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every 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 into as .[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 started working 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 Never。

It acted as such a force in Eng-land beginning in the eighteenth century, and across the entire Western World inthe nineteenth.Rapid advances were made in the use ofscientific findings in the manufacture (制造) of goods,which has changed ideas about work. One of the first changes wasthat other forms of energy havetaken the place of human power. Along with this came the increased use of machines tomanufac-ture products in less time.People also developed machines that could produce thesame parts for a product： each nail wasexactly like every other nail, meaning that each nail could be changed for every other nail. Thismeans that goods could be mass produced, though mass production required breaking productiondown into smaller and smaller tasks.Once this was done, workers no longer started on the product and labored to complete it. In-stead, they might work only one thousandth of it, other workers completing their own parts in cer-tain order. There is nothing strange about this manufacturing work by today’s standards. Highlyskilled workers were unable to compare with the new production techniques, as mass production al-lowed goods of highstandard to be produced in greater number than could ever be done by hand.But the skilled worker wasn’t the only loser,the common workers lost too. Similar changes forcedfarmers away. The increased mechanization(机械化) of agriculturefreed masses of workers fromploughing the land and harvesting its crops. They had little choice but to stream toward the rapidlydeveloping industrial centers. Increasingly, standards were set by machines. Workers no longerowned their own tools,their skill was no longer valued, and pride in their work was no longer pos-sible. Workers fed, looked after and repaired the machines that could work faster than humans atgreatly reduced cost.46. In this passage, which of the following is NOT considered as a change caused by the use of scientific findings in the production of goods?[A]Other forms of energy have taken the place of human power.[B]The increased exploitation of workers in the 19th century.[C]The increased use of machines to make products in less time.[D]The use of machines producing parts of the same standard.47. The underlined word "this" in the first paragraph refers to ______[A]the use of scientific findings[B]the practice of producing the same parts for a product[C]the human power being replaced by other forms of energy[D]the technology becoming the encouragement ofhistorical change48. The underlined word "this" in the second paragraph refers to the change that ______[A]each nail could be taken the place of by every other nail[B]each nail was exactly like every other nail[C]producing tasks became smaller and smaller[D]goods could be mass produced49. According to the writer, highly skilled workers______[A]completely disappeared with the coming of the factory system[B]were dismissed by the boss[C]were unable to produce goods of high standard[D]were unable to produce fine goods at that same speed as machines50. According to the passage, what did the farmers have to do with the coming of mechanization of agriculture?[A]Many of them had to leave their farmland forindustrial centers.[B]They stuck to their farm work.[C]They refused to use machines.[D]They did their best to leam how to use the machines.Text 2"We are not about to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it." Presentpredictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, orabout thirty percentof the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American highschools owned one or two computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new study showed thathalf of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And noweducational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students be-come "computer-literate". By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in overeighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be comparedto those who are print-illiterate today.What is "computer literacy"? The term itself seems to imply some degree of "knowing" aboutcomputers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a generalknowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how theyoperate.Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adults are able to use a motor car without the slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine(内燃机) works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histo-ries to explain how they work.Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet fewhave ever known how to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how orwhy they work?Rather, we first must fix our mind on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is."Knowing how to use a computer is what’s going to be important. We don’t talk about ‘au-tomobile literacy'. We just get in our cars and drive them."51. In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to_______[A]79 million[B]100 million[C]30 million[D]70 million52. The underlined part "print-illiterate" in the text refers to_______[A]one who has never learnt printing[B]one who has never learnt to read[C]one who is not a computer literate[D]one who is not able to use a typewriter53. What is the first paragraph mainly about?[A]Recent predictions of computer-related jobs.[B]The wide of computers in schools.[C]The urgency of computers education.[D]Public interest in computers.54. According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers is to teach_______[A]how to use computers[B]what computers use[C]where computers can be used[D]how computers work55. From the text, we can infer that[A]computers will be easy to operate[B]automobile will be move comfortable[C]illiteracy rate will be down[D]computers will be set in.automobilesText 3Everything living on earth each plant and animal needs other living things. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a tree or a plant grows close together with othersof the same kind. Sometimes one living thing hunts another, one eats and the other is eaten. Eachkind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain. Somefood chains are simple, others are complicated. But all have two things in common-all foodchains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.All life depends on energy from sunlight. Only plants can use this energy directly. Their leaves are little factories that use sunlight to make food from water and things in the soil and air.Plants in turn feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals.Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vege-tables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. This means the sun’s energy passesthrough plant to animal before it reaches us.Nature is a greater thing. Any food chain always produces enough for each of its members if itis left alone. When there isn’t enough food for any link in the chain, some of its members die off.So the balanee is always kept.But men in their greed and ignorance often break up the food chain and do great harm not onlyto one plant or animal, but to all the links in the chain. People make seas andrivers dirty. They de-stroy whole forests and kill many kinds of wild animals and birds. When a river becomes dirty,thefish cannot be eaten. Men eat the fish and get strange diseases. In some places men have no fish toeat any more, because the fish have died off. Each form of life is linked to all others. Breaking thelinks puts all life in danger.56. How does everything living on earth live?[A]Each plant can live alone.[B]Each animal can live alone.[C]Everything living on earth can not live without needing other living things.[D]If living things want to live they must kill each other.57. How is food for plants made? Food for plants is made______[A]from water[B]from the air in the sky[C]from the soil[D]from water, things in the soil and air, sunlight58. How do all food chains break? All food chains are broken if______[A]one kind of animal is eaten up[B]one kind of plant is destroyed[C]one kind of animal eats another[D]one of the links is destroyed59. Which living things can use energy directly?[A]Animals.[B]Plants.[C]Both animals and plants.[D]All living things,.60. Why is all life in danger? Becausebreak up the food chains.[A]human beings[B]animals[C]plants and animals[D]man and wild animalson ANSWER SHEET 1.Erum Nadeem：Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note： the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultur-al tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no misunderstand-ing-only happiness.Sander Tideman：I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more.complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of"gross national happiness" or GNH. This concept is based on the recognition that gross nationalproduct does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reachingeffects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger socialscale.Paul Aboh：Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poor have the ability to cultivate and sharehappiness. We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helpinghand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you dis-cover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but it never destroys.Mansoor Malik：Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind tothe environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of well-being. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-help, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile.Peter Fischer：At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your spe-cial report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are oftenhungry are the ones with the most reasons to be unhappy. What can possibly make them smile? Asyour article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make ushappy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note： there are two extra statements.Statements61. Erum Nadeem62.Sander Tideman63. Paul Aboh64. Mansoor Malik65. Peter Fischer[A]A rich person is not necessarily happy.[B]Things people often overlook may be the very source of happiness.[C]Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis.[D]We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness.[E]Happiness lies in giving instead of taking.[F]The environment is a source of happiness.[G]Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.Part A66. You have been entertained by your friend Gao Jie when you stayed in Beijing on vacation.Write a letter to him. Your letter should include：1) thank him for entertaining you2) describe your feeling3) invite him to visit your hometownYou should write approximately 100 words.

2020年公共英语三级pets3写作模拟试题（一）A survey conducted in Tianjin found that 98% of high school students and 92% of elementary school students have to spend most of their weekends doing homework.Write an essay of about 120 words. You may include the following points：1. Discuss the negative effects of too much homework on children.2. Discuss the disadvantages of the present exam-oriented education system.3. Call for efforts to ease students' burden and help them lead a colorful and enjoyable life.「参考范文」Too much homework has become a common complaint in high schools and elementary schools. Students have to spend most of their time doing homework, even on weekends. As a result, they have no time for their hobbies, or for their parents or friends. All they do is what they have to do, not what they like to do.The underlying cause for this phenomenon lies in the present exam-oriented education system. National College Entrance Examination has become the sole focus of teachers, parents, and students themselves. High score becomes the ultimate goal, to the neglect of practical abilities, personality development, and all that.It is urgent that we deepen our educational reform. We must allow for students' overall development, not just evaluate their test scores.。

Then about 3months later, we traveled to New York. As we were waiting for our plane in the airport, I looked out of a huge window. At that very moment, I saw the largest truck in the world. I had totell someone about this. I turned my father, who was standing to next about a thousand people waiting for flight, and screamed "Truck ! Truck !"

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B,C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAmericans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States.For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is tochew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family.Myth 1： The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on thespecific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2： Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children.“There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than frommothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories： simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. D r. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that_________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce?A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage.B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason.C. Less and less people plan to get married.D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage.24. For the children whose mothers go out to work,__________.A. it is better to have mothers at homeB. almost no attention is paid to themC. no less attention is paid to themD. a lot of time is spent playing gamespared with nonworking mothers, workingmothers________.A. spare less time to stay with their childrenB. do more educational activities with childrenC. do very little simple physical houseworkD. avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage ThreeCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal： it is a weekend crime. Itis also a nighttime crime： 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington's studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mental hospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is provedby_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27. According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on _________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28. What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job wastold to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe(部落) is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I'll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism(部落主义). There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalt y to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time.Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.

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.

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 ( 不合适的 ) 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 fromironing 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. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line ： who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad ： who are providing employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the rules. If that includes a dress code,then that's their right. If you'd like a differentdress code-start your own business.Now match each of the people (61 t0 65) to the appropriate statement.Note： there are two extra statements.Statements61.Marian [A] We shall not be moved.62.Catherine [B] Money means freedom.63.Roget [C] Photos taking are pleasant.64.Briggs [D] There are people who are so careless about dressing.65.Bill [E] Action speaks louder than words.[F]It is our society that must be blamed.[G]You should wear appropriately where you are.SectionIV 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 borrowed a novel from your friend Jane. However, after several days you suddenly found that you lost it. Write a letter of apology to Jane.

2020 年全国公共英语等级考试PETS 三级模拟试题TextMost young people enjoy physical activities, walking,cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are menand women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by thedifference between mountaineering and other forms ofactivities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golfand football. There are, of course, rules of different kindswhich it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom fromman-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 .If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports,we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering isnot a “team work ” . However, it is only ourmisunderstanding. There are, in fact, no ：matches” 37“teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock facelinked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously,there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fightwith natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man.His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climbthe highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.26.[A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of27.[A]looked up to [B]looked forward [C]looked into [D] looked upon28.[A]willing [B]reluctant [C]unwilling [D] probable29.[A]take pains [B]run risk [C] take a risk [D] make efforts30.[A]to [B]with [C]for [D]towards31.[A]so [B] various [C] different [D]such32.[A] apply [B] worry [C] ignore [D] notice33.[A] which [B] that [C] how [D] why34.[A] methods [B] forms [C] rules [D] activities35.[A] correlate [B] relate [C] compare [D] contrast36.[A] for [B] what [C] which [D] that37.[A]within [B]from [C]beyond [D]between38.[A]exist [B]go [C]depend [D]confide39.[A]strength [B]storms [C]powers [D]forces40.[A]physician [B]physical[C]physiological [D]psychological41.[A]tries [B]continues [C]wants [D]decides42.[A]will be [B]appear [C]are [D]is43.[A]unusual [B]normal [C]common [D]strange44.[A]strength [B]efforts [C]energy [D]time45.[A]shortage [B]lack [C]rubbish [D]wasteSection Ⅱ 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 wasa 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. For15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senioreditor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck withit. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered myboss’s office. Would he rage? I wonde red. 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, butdidn ’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new mediacompany. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wantedto be directly engaged in the change. “I ’m glad for you, ”he said, quite ou t 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 ofit 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 thenewsroom 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 hadcarefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman andpublisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into abillion- dollar property.“I’m resigning, Bill,”I said. He listened while I gave him the st ory. 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.If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in apublishing house.49.When the writer decided to resign the Globe wasfaced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50.

This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved thateveryone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work youmay say that you ’re “hot ”. That ’s true. The time of daywhen you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comesduring the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads’ll be to such familiar monologues as ：“Get up, Peter! You latefor work again! ” The possible explanation to thetrouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peakin the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbandsand wives realize what these energy cycles mean, andwhich cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn tomake your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you ’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay uplate anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. Ifyour energy is low in the morning, but you have an importantto do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. Thiswon’t change your cycle, but you ’ll get up steam and workbetter 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 familyquarrels 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 otherfamily members.53.If one wants to work efficiently at his low pointin 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 andstretch 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.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution,the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings inrural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the veryclimate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning offossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect ”—conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view iscorrect and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities suchas New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature—a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas.Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditionswill happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible) Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment causedby the“advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56.As pointed out at the beginning of the passage,people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the UnitedStates[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soonbe58. The word“offset” in the second paragraph couldreplaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degreeswould not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a fewdegrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C]almost no temperature variations have occurredover the past decade.[D]the world's temperature will remain constant in theyears to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect ⋯⋯[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels ⋯⋯[C]the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part BDirections：Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to C ) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.AbbeyYou can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!MarlinI began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; Ican maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.MaggieDuring my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that Iwas in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! Peoplesay all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't.It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get onit. "BelindaIf you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting.Then things will turn out to be even worse.WoodI went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realizethe danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietarychanges in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note： there are two extra statements.Statements61.Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62.Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63.Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64.Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65.Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing (40 minutes)You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.Suppose you have got the news that the university of Science and Technology of China is offering a scholarship for chemistry majors and that you have just received an MS degree in chemistry and are eager to have a personal interview with Dr. Wu Han wei , the Chairman.
