2019年公共英语三级阅读理解试题（15）Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A),B), C)or D) ,You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Interact use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless, bodilessvirtual(虚的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.But it’ s important to remember this is not about the technology, it’ s about how it is used,says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’ s sponsors (发起人). It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.36. What’s the finding of the research undertaken at Carnegie Mellon University?A) People spend more time on the Internet now.B) People spend less time with their families and friends now.C) The Net proves socially healthier than television.D) Internet use may cause a drop in psychological health.37.

Which is not true according to the passage?A) The Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.B) Internet communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation.C) Undeveloped Internet technology causes the drop in psychological health.D) The wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.39. What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest?A) It’s necessar y to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.B) It’s important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.C) Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.D) No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.40.

Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员)in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events:the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and filed events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, "Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world." Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, "Thanks, King."11. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden答案：C12. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT _______.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing答案：D13. Jim Thorpe started to play sports _______.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away答案：B14.

In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.答案：ASince its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger(汉堡包)stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald's is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald's, called the Big Mac Index(巨无霸指数).That's not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald's in India doesn't serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism(沙文主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald's,killing a 27-year-old employee.(78) No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald's is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.16. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.B. McDonald's has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald's has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald's was very small in scale in the beginning.答案：B17. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently答案：C18. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald's designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald'sC. the McDonald's menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald's bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day答案：A19. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald's.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald's.D. They destroyed a McDonald's under construction.答案：D20. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald's restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001答案：CIt can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的)for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group.Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合)to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的)windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80)Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it's a step in the right direction.21. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite答案：A22. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that _______.A. most large gym chains really don't want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don't accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym答案：B23. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.答案：A24. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.答案：C25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women's Self-confidence through Exercises.B. The traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its Customers.C. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New Directions.D. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight People.答案：D四、翻译(英译汉)51."The biggest construction project of this century", explained French President Francois Mitterand in January, 1986 as he and then British prime minister Margaret Thatcher jointly announced that the two countries would finally overcome ancient quarrels and prejudices and forge a link across the narrow Channel separating them.答案：1986年1月，法国总统弗兰西斯。
2019年全国英语等级三级考前训练题：阅读(A)
2019年全国英语等级三级考前训练题：阅读(A)Text 1Mistakes are the things that nobody wants, but we still make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. Some are about work or jobs. But most mistakes are about people."Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? And why didn't Andy pick up that I was friendly just because 1 had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. We need to listen and think for some time. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog" that's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little, what he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck."Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you'tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.26. This passage is mainly aboutA. how to interpret what people sayB. what to do when you listen to others talkingC. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with peopleD. why we go wrong with people sometimes27. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that .A. we fail to listen carefully when they talkB. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC. people usually state one thing but means anotherD. we tend to doubt what our friends say28. In the sentence "Maybe he doesn't see it himself" in the second paragraph, the pronoun"it" refers to .A. being friendlyB. a bit of envyC. lucky dogD. your luck29. When we listen to a person talking, the most important thing for us to do is .A. notice the way the person is talkingB. take a good look at the person talkingC. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyesD. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture30. The author most probably is a .A. teacherB. philosopherC. psychologistD. doctorText 2SMS (Short Message Service) gradually becomes the main service for cell phone users for its great charming. In addition, the development of mobile communications technology and service has created favorable condition for SMS. For example, MMS, multi-media messaging service, is a new type of message service on the basis of SMS. It allows transmission of multi-media messages between cell phone and computer, as well as between cell phones. Communication with SMS is quite convenient. You can write a message after carefully thinking what you want to say with many words without worrying about money. Actually, SMS enjoys the absolute majority utilization。

2019年成人英语三级考试《阅读理解》练习题
2019年成人英语三级考试《阅读理解》练习题The way people hold to the belief that a fun filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equalto happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true： more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that arethe source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, self-improvement.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest hewill tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life isfilled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a wholenight's sleep or a three day vacation. I don't know anyparent who would choose the fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know thejoys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothingto do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations.

2019年成人英语三级考试阅读典型练习题5Interact use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on theInternet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized (推测). Faceless,bodiless“virtual”(虚的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through theNet makes users less satisfied with their lives.转自环球网校“But it' s important to remember this is not about the technology, it' s about how it is used,”says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study' s sponsors (发起人).
