全国英语等级考试全真模拟卷第三级(附光盘)全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1National English Test Level 3 - A Student's ViewWow, the National English Level Test Level 3! That sounds like a really big deal. I remember when my teacher first told our class about it. We had just finished our English lesson, and she said we would be taking this important test soon. A bunch of my classmates got really excited, but I was a little nervous. Tests can be scary, especially really important ones!My teacher could see some of us were worried, so she explained what the test was all about. She said it's a way for students like us to show how good our English skills are. The test has listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections to check all the different things we've learned in English class.The listening part sounded kind of fun. The teacher said we'd hear conversations and stories, then have to answer questions about them. In class, we always enjoyed the listening exercises, especially the funny dialogues. My best friend Lily and I would try to imitate the voices and make each other laugh.Then there's the reading section, which is about understanding passages. That doesn't sound too bad, since we read lots of stories and articles for homework anyway. Though I'm a little slower at reading than some of my classmates. I'll have to practice more.Writing is one part I'm kind of nervous about. We'll have to write a short essay on a topic they give us. Essays are hard! You have to organize all your thoughts and make sure your grammar and spelling are perfect. Miss Lee has been helping us practice timed writings though, so that should help.The speaking section might be the trickiest for me. We'll have to answer questions and describe pictures out loud. I sometimes stumble over words when I get nervous. But Miss Lee said the test instructors are really nice, so maybe that will help me relax. Plus, we've done lots of partner speaking activities to prepare.To get ready, Miss Lee had us do some practice test materials. They came with a CD too, so we could listen to the audio at home. The practice tests showed us what types of questions would be on the real test. There were multiple choice questions, fill in the blanks, and short answers. It was good practice, but some of the questions were pretty hard!A couple weeks before the test, my parents got me some other sample test books from the bookstore to work through. I spent a lot of time reviewing vocabulary, grammar points, and doing listening exercises with my headphones on. The more I practiced, the more confident I started to feel.Finally, the day of the big test came! A bunch of kids from other schools came to take it too. We all had to sit at desks spread out in the school auditorium. It was a little intimidating with so many people around. The nice test teachers passed out the test booklets and CDs, then explained very clearly how everything would work.The listening section was just as I expected - we heard conversations and stories through headphones, then had to answer comprehension questions. I missed a few, but I tried my best. The reading passages were interesting topics like animals and sports, which made them easier to understand. Phew, made it through those two sections!We took a short break before starting the writing section. I had a hard time coming up with ideas for my essay at first, but then I remembered the tips for brainstorming from class. Once I got my thoughts sorted out, the actual writing went pretty smoothly. Hopefully I organised it well enough!Then came speaking time. The teachers called students one-by-one into another room to do the speaking section. When it was my turn, I felt a little shaky but took a deep breath. The test teacher was so friendly and encouraging, which helped me relax a lot. We talked about some pictures, answered hypothetical questions, and did a role-play. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.Phew, after the speaking part was done, the whole test was finally over! I felt so relieved, but also proud for giving it my all. It was tough, but our preparation in class with Miss Lee really paid off. I can't wait to get my results back and see how I did. Hopefully I score high enough to get that fancy certificate!I'd definitely recommend the National English Test Level 3 to other students. It's challenging for sure, but taking it was a great way to show off all the English I've learned so far. Plus, it helped me get much more confident at reading, writing, listening and speaking. Maybe I'll aim for Level 4 next year - gotta keep leveling up those English skills! If I can make it through that tough test, I'll be like a real pro. Just call me the English master!篇2My Big Day for the English Test!Hi there! My name is Emily and I'm a 5th grader. Today was a super important day because I took the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 exam! I've been studying really hard for months to get ready. My parents and teachers told me this test is a big deal and shows how good my English skills are. I was a little nervous, but also excited to show off what I've learned.The test had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. We started with the listening part first thing in the morning. The nice test proctor played audio clips from a CD and we had to mark our answers on a special bubble sheet. Some of the questions asked us to listen for specific details, while others wanted us to get the main idea. There were conversations between kids and adults as well as lectures on topics like animals and vacations. I tried my best to listen really carefully!After listening, we moved on to the reading section. This part had lots of different passages - stories, advertisements, instructions, and more. We had to read each one and then answer comprehension questions about things like the main idea, vocabulary in context, making inferences, and author's purpose. The passages covered all kinds of subjects that kids might be interested in like sports, science experiments, and school events. My favorite was the funny story about a boy and his pet frog!By the time the reading section was over, it was lunchtime. We got to go outside and run around for a bit to rest our brains. Some of my friends were feeling tired, but I had brought an energy bar that my mom packed to refuel. After our break, it was time to tackle the writing tasks.For the writing portion, we had two assignments. First, we had to read a short prompt about an everyday situation and write a response of 100-120 words giving our opinion and reasons. The prompt I got was about whether kids should have set bedtimes or be allowed to go to bed whenever they want. I wrote all about how a regular bedtime schedule helps kids get the sleep they need to stay healthy and do well at school.The second writing task was harder. We were given a topic and some guiding questions, and then had to write an essay of 200-250 words developing our ideas with examples and details. My topic was "An Activity I Enjoy," so I chose to write about my favorite hobby of playing soccer. I described the equipment and rules, explained why I like the teamwork and exercise, and gave an example of scoring an exciting goal during my last game. Organizing and developing an whole essay in English was definitely challenging, but I tried my best!Last but not least was the speaking section. One at a time, we went into a private room and spoke our responses into a recording device while the proctor gave us prompts from the test booklet. First, I had to describe a set of pictures that told a story, like making sure to hit all the key details in my narration. Then I had to listen to a prompt and give my opinion, using reasons and examples to back up what I said. Finally, I got a hypothetical situation and had to propose a solution, again supporting my ideas with clear explanations.Speaking in English without stopping to think too hard was probably the most nerve-wracking part! But I took a deep breath each time and just tried my best to respond naturally and completely. When I finally finished that last speaking task, I was so relieved and proud of myself for making it through such a long, challenging test.Overall, the whole experience of taking the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 was pretty intense! My brain definitely feels a little fried after concentrating so hard for hours. But I'm really glad I prepared as much as I did by practicing tests from previous years, working on skills with my English tutors, and staying after school for extra help. Thanks to all that hard work, Ifelt mostly confident going into each section, even if some parts were tougher than others.Now it's just a waiting game until I get my scores back in a couple months! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I did well enough to prove my English abilities and get that certificate. No matter what though, I know I grew a lot as an English learner just by taking on this big challenge. Tests may be stressful, but they help show how far you've come and what to work on next. I'm feeling inspired to keep practicing my English skills through reading, games, movies, and conversations with native speakers.Whew, what a big day! I'd better go rest up now. Tackling that huge exam honestly knocked me out. But I'm so proud of myself for persevering through all those listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections. Wish me luck on a great score! Labors Cantantas Forever! (That's "Go Songbirds!" in Latin, my school's motto.) Thanks for letting me share my testing experience!篇3National English Level Test Time!Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about the National English Level Test that Ijust took. It's a really big deal test that lets you see how good your English is compared to other kids across the whole country. The version I took was the Third Level, which is the level for upper elementary students like me.First off, let me just say - PHEW! I'm so glad that test is over. It was pretty tough, not gonna lie. But I studied really hard, so I think I did ok. My mom signed me up for this special English class to get ready. We did tons of practice tests and learned all kinds of strategies. I may have gotten a little sick of English by the end, but it was worth it!Ok, so the test had four sections - Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. The Listening part had different recordings that we had to listen to very carefully and answer questions about. Some were conversations between people, while others were talks or instructions. I had to use those funny-looking headphones that go over your whole ear. That part wasn't too bad for me since I love listening to English songs, shows, and movies.Then there was the Reading section where we had different passages to read - stories, advertisements, tables, you name it! The questions asked things like what the main idea was, what certain details were, or what vocabulary words meant in context.I read a lottt during my studying, so that helped me get faster at reading in English.Writing is probably the hardest part for me. We had to write a letter and an essay responding to different prompts. It's just so much work putting all the grammar rules together while trying to make your writing flow nicely and get your point across clearly. I made sure to leave time at the end to check over my writing.Finally, there was the Speaking section which was pretty nerve-wracking if I'm being honest. You have to go one-by-one into a separate room with a recording device. The questions came through headphones and you had to speak your responses out loud to get recorded. Topics could be anything - describing a scene, stating an opinion, retelling a story. I tried to speak slowly and clearly like we practiced. Hopefully I didn't say anything too silly!The whole test took almost three hours from start to finish which felt like forever to my short student attention span. We did get a couple short breaks, thank goodness. I just tried to shake out my arms and legs when I could to stay focused. I also packed a healthy snack to nibble on during the breaks.After it was all over, I just felt relieved and proud of myself for pushing through. My teacher said she was already proud ofus all no matter what our scores end up being. She knows how hard we worked. Though I must admit, I am really hoping I did well enough to earn a certificate!The best part is, the test came with a CD full of learning games, videos, songs, you name it! I love playing the cool English games and watching the funny videos. It makes practicing English feel way more fun than just reading textbooks all the time. I really think using that CD helped prepare me.Some of my friends are hoping their scores qualify them to participate in an English summer camp where you go stay overnight and do all kinds of fun English activities. That would be so awesome! Even if I don't get to go this year, I'll just study harder for the next level test.Anyway, those are all my thoughts on this huge English test I just conquered. It was definitely challenging, but also kinda exciting getting to showcase my English skills after working so hard on them. I'm just relieved it's over for now so I can finally read my English novels for fun again instead of just studying! Fingers crossed I did well. Wish me luck!篇4The National English Test Adventure!Hey there, friends! It's me, your pal Timmy. I've got the most exciting story to share with you all today. Brace yourselves for an adventure that will take you through the thrilling world of the National English Proficiency Test!It all started one sunny morning when I arrived at school, my backpack stuffed with pencils, erasers, and a rumbling tummy (I may have skipped breakfast for an extra few minutes of video games). Mrs. Robinson, our awesome English teacher, greeted us with her usual warm smile and a surprise announcement."Class, today we'll be taking the National English Proficiency Test Simulation Paper Level 3!"A collective gasp filled the classroom. Some of my classmates looked puzzled, while others wore expressions of sheer determination. As for me, well, let's just say I was somewhere in between – a little nervous but mostly excited!Mrs. Robinson handed out the test booklets, and the adventure began. The first section was all about listening comprehension. We put on our headphones and tuned in to dialogues and stories, trying our best to answer the questions that followed. I gotta admit, some of those conversations were pretty tricky! But hey, that's half the fun, right?Next up was the reading section. We tackled passages about everything from science experiments to tales of brave explorers. I found myself completely immersed in the stories, like I was right there alongside the characters, navigating through their adventures.Then came the writing part. We had to put our creative juices to the test and pen a short story or essay. Now, I won't lie – this was the part that had me sweating a little. But with Mrs. Robinson's helpful tips and a deep breath, I let my imagination run wild!Finally, we tackled the speaking section. One by one, we stepped up to the microphone and unleashed our English speaking skills. Some of us chatted about our hobbies, while others described their favorite places or fictional characters. It was like we were putting on our own little theater performance!After what felt like an eternity (but was probably just a couple of hours), we handed in our test booklets, feeling a mix of relief and accomplishment. Mrs. Robinson congratulated us on our hard work and promised to go over the answers together in the next class.As I walked home that day, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Sure, the National English Proficiency Test was no walk inthe park, but we had taken it head-on and given it our best shot. And you know what? That's what really matters!So, there you have it, my dear friends – the tale of my first encounter with the National English Test. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, challenges, and triumphs. But most importantly, it was an adventure that brought our class together, pushing us to explore the depths of our English skills.Who knows what other linguistic quests await us in the future? But one thing's for sure – with determination, hard work, and a sprinkle of fun, we'll conquer them all! Stay tuned for more exciting tales from the English-learning trenches!篇5The Big English Test Adventure!Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm a fifth-grader. I just had the craziest experience with this huge English test called the National English Proficiency Test Level 3. Let me tell you all about my big adventure!It all started a few months ago when my English teacher Ms. Roberts told our class that we'd be taking this really important test. She said it would show how good our English skills were inlistening, reading, writing, and speaking. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous at first. Tests can be super scary, especially really long ones!But Ms. Roberts helped us get ready by giving us lots of practice tests and activities from this big blue book called the "National English Proficiency Test Level 3 Simulation." It had ALL sorts of listening exercises, reading passages, writing prompts, and speaking questions, just like the real test. We did practice tests what felt like a million times!My favorite sections were the listening and reading parts. The listening had these fun conversations between kids and there were always silly jokes or stories that made me laugh. The reading passages were really interesting too - they had articles about animals, different countries, hobbies, you name it! I learned so many new words and facts.I definitely struggled more with the writing and speaking sections though. For the writing, we had to write letters, essays, and all sorts of paragraphs. Making sure I used proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation was hard. Speaking out loud was even harder for me because I'm pretty shy. But Ms. Roberts had us practice giving speeches and having conversations until I got more comfortable.Finally, test day arrived! I was pretty nervous waiting in line, clutching my pencil case and my lucky teddy bear. But when I sat down and got my test booklet, I told myself "You got this, Emma!" because I had practiced so much.The listening section went by super fast. The conversations and stories were just like the practice ones, so I didn't get too flustered. Same with the reading - I kept reminding myself to read carefully and double check if I was unsure of an answer.Writing was still hard, but I took my time and reread the questions over and over. I made sure to plan out my essays and letters first before writing them out. Ms. Roberts always said the brainstorming step was just as important as the writing part.When it was time for speaking, I did get a little sweaty! But I looked at the friendly test grader, took a deep breath, and just pretended I was talking to my stuffed animals at home. I stated my answers clearly and threw in some of those transition words and idioms we had practiced.After what felt like AGES, the test was finally over! I was so tired but really proud that I had given it my all. While I waited for my results, I worked on even more practice tests from the Simulation book and its CD of audio files. I wanted to be absolutely ready in case I needed to take any sections again.A few weeks later, the scores came in the mail. I had passed all four sections!! I was overjoyed and gave the biggest hug to Ms. Roberts and my parents. All that hard work and practice from the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 Simulation had really paid off. The test may have been hard, but it was also an awesome, rewarding experience!So to all my fellow test takers out there - study hard, practice tons, and don't be nervous! If you prepare well with materials like the Simulation tests, you'll do wonderfully. Just think of it as one big, exciting English adventure! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go celebrate with some ice cream. Testing is tough work!篇6Hi there! I'm Sam, a 5th grade student, and I want to tell you about this really cool English test I took recently called the National English Proficiency Test Level 3. It was kind of like a big exam, but it was actually really fun!First off, we had to buy this big book and CD to prepare for the test. The book was filled with all kinds of practice questions and exercises to get us ready. There were reading passages, grammar drills, listening exercises, and even speaking practice. We used the CD to listen to the audio parts at home. My favoritesections were the dialogues – they were like little stories of kids my age talking about everyday things like school, friends, and hobbies.When the test day arrived, I was a tiny bit nervous, but mostly excited! We had to go to a special testing center with lots of other students. First up was the listening section. We put on headphones and listened to conversations, stories, and instructions. Then we had to answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. It was kind of challenging having to listen so carefully, but also pretty engaging with all the different voices and situations.After listening, we moved right into the reading part. There were passages about topics like science, narratives, and school life. The passages weren't too long, but there were a bunch of questions following each one that really made you think deeply about whatyou read. You had to identify main ideas, make inferences, figure out vocabulary from context, and more. It was a good mental workout!Then came the grammar and writing sections. These involved things like filling in blanks, rewriting sentences, and short answer writing. I'm not gonna lie - the grammar questions were pretty tough! You really had to know your verb tenses,sentence structures, and the nitty gritty details. The writing prompts weren't too bad though. We had to write a paragraph or two about common topics like our hobbies and experiences.Last but not least was the speaking section. We wentone-by-one into a room and spoke into a recorder. The tasks included introducing ourselves, describing pictures, androle-playing conversations. It felt a little weird talking to a machine at first, but I tried to just imagine I was chatting with a friend and it went smoothly.After almost four hours of awesomely exhausting English skills, the test was finally over! A few weeks later, I received my score report and...I passed! I earned a nifty certificate too. While the exam wasn't easy, I actually had a great time putting my English abilities to the test in all areas like listening, reading, writing, speaking, and even my grammar ninja skills. It felt like such an accomplishment.To anyone thinking of taking this test, I'd say go for it! It's challenging for sure, but also an amazing way to practice and showcase your practical English communication skills. Just study hard with those practice materials, don't stress too much, and most importantly - have fun with the language. Who knows, youmight just earn an English level up like I did! Let me know if you have any other questions!。

One branch led to Harvard Medical School,which is exactly what her mother had hoped for when the Chons moved to the U.S. from South Korea to give their three children opportunities.Always a diligent student, Katherine started to learn medieine at Brown. But then she added a new limb to her drcam tree 一one that her mother still doesn't understand. Shocked by the misfortune of some South Korean women,Katherine joined forces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project, now one of the largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country. "It was really hard for my parents,” says Katherine. u They had so many life stresses so their children could ger a great education and have a comfortable life.”The drcams of parents and children often differ, but the conflict can be especially painful in first-generation immigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices- Lisa Park, an assistant professor at the University of California,San Diego, says that the focus of every family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for their children is almost always on the future, with little mention of the circumstances that compelled them to move.And even though the parents arc the ones working 12-hour days, the children arc also under intense pressure to perform in ways that will justify the parents^sacrifice.The contrast between parents' dreams and children's realities can be pareicularly sharp for daughters who have grown up with almost infinite opportunities. Their mothers often came from places where opportunities for women were limited, which makes the daughers5choices even harder to understand. Mary Lugcmwa's parents encouraged her to study math or science at Harvard. She complied at first, majoring in computer science. But she is cuiTently working as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media. "I sometimes feel guilty; she says, "having chosen tobe an artist, because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background, I could help my parents a lot more.”46.When Katherine Chon was a fifth-grader,・[A]she had a great interest in drawing[B]she had a clear vision of her future[C]she had an independent personality[DJ she had a desire to study in the U.S.47.It can be inferred form the text that Katherine's mother.[A]was disappointed at her daughter's decision[B]was shocked by the suffering of some womenLCJ failed to give her kids enough opportunities[D]failed to realize her own dream to be a doctor48- According to the text, in first-generation immigrant families, the parents feel furstrated if .[A] they fail to adjust to the circumstancesfB] they are forced to make great sacrifices[C]their children fail to focus on the future[D]their children develop against their wishes49According to Lisa Park, first-generation immigrant children.[A]avoid the slightest mention of their parents5past[B]focus on seizing chances for futuer development[CJwork very hard to justify their parents' sacrifices[DJare under pressure to fulfill teir parents' deams50We learn from Mary Lugemwa's case that・[AJher parents cherished opportunities more than she did[B]her parents9dreams and her reality could be balanced[Clshe had a quite different view of life from her parents[D]s hc enjoyed infinite opportunities in career developmentText 2Monther Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has launched a new public awareness campaign aimed at Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotier. "Enough is Enough" advocates dropping the Criminal Code's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit form 0.08 to 0.05 percent, to "protect innocent drivers on our roads." MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks that lowering the BAC limit could result in a 6-to-18 percent reduction in crash deaths.But questions have been raised about the science behind that campaign.MADD selectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the Mental Health Centre. Mann, in turn, had got those number form two separate studies whose data was selected from Swedenand Australia. The conclusion in mann's report seem to ignore the Swedish authors' numerous warnings and cautions, as welll as the limitations in the Australian study. First, the Australian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing, not lowered BAC levels, on fatal traffic crashes. Also, that research was started in 1970 when "liquid lunches^were far more common. What's more, the Australian data varied:whereas the state of Queensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD's Murie, in neighboring New South Wales, fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent.It is also reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of dricers in alcohol-rclatcd fatal crashes arc repeat offenders with BACs over 0.15 percent - meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheel with BAC levels twice the legal limit,not social drinkers who consume a glass of wine or two.This makes MADD's concern seem wasteful, given the downward trend in alcohol-related traffic deaths.The Canada Safety Council, the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD's campaign.Even the Ontario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean more work for police and the courts. But to MADD's Murie, the math question is simple :"If you lower BAC limits, regardless to what level, you'll save Canadian lives.” Unfortunately, the math doesn't quite add up.51. MADD launched a public awareness campaign in order to.[A]criticize the Justice Minister[B]improve BAC measurement[C]restrict drivers9access to alcohol[D]revise the law regarding drunk driving52From the text we learn that MADD cites a report that.[A]justifies its new campaign[B]cs favored by the authorities[C]sums up major public concerns[DJ es mentioned in two other studies53It is implied in the text that Mann's report is unreliable because.[A]it was based on some unsound research[B]it got its data from two inconsistent studies[CJ it was written in conditions no longer valid[D]it ignored the limitations of the studies cited54The text indicates that MADD's campaign.[A] will not affect social drinkersLBJ may turn out to be of little value[Cl is goingto reduce governmental labor[D]has won support from somcorganizations55The writer's attitude towards the campaign is[A] satiricalfB] scornful[C]suspicious[D]supportiveTEXT 3A recent study demon started how pwerful a few words can be : Forty competitive tennis players were shown digital images of ball coming their way . Just before each ball appeared ,the players sawor head comments like "Good short" or "Bad short." The reactions times of players hearing negative remarks were measurably slower. And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistent game and not make unforced errors.What is the explanation? Negative feedback weakens anyone's belief in his or her ability to succeed. But if you can hold on to a winning attitude, you'll make a gerater effort and slso create positive drive. Confident people inspire others;opportunities seem to come their way more often. They become magnrts for success.Learn the importeance of giving yourself pep talks, and keep the voice in your head positiive. The best athletes9 success is rrely due to raw talent alone. It's because they're simply better prepared. They stay focused, they're willing to work as hard as they need to, and they keep the positive voice in their heads switched on.Perhaps the most important aspect of being your own coach is to do what any outside adviser - or a good parent, for that matter 一would preach: practice, practice, practice. Avoid individuals who suck your energy and diminish your confidcncc.Hang out with the people who see you at your best, and remind you about it every so often. Pessimists drag you down, as do whiners and critics.If there's one winning behavior that people building confidence should model, it's the willingness to get back into the game after a setback. Don't nurse your wounds.There are, however, important warnings. Panicking can compound a small misstep by causing you to lose your head and forget to think clearly. If you suffer a terrible loss, give yourself time to absorb the blow. Don't deny the hurt or try to solve the problem immediately.Gather your support system around you and simply get nurtured. Sitting around and thinking about your loss is the worst thing you can do to solve your problem.56.We learn from the first paragraph that・LAJ excellent performance often goes with well- trained players[B]excellent performance often goes with positive comments[C]high- tech methods help players avoid unforced errors[D]high -tech methods increase players' competitiveness57.People who want to succeed should first imagine themselves to be.[A]an observer[B]an inspircr[C]a creator[DJ a winner58.The phrase “pep talks” in Paragraph 3 means 'talks' which.[A]encourage people[B]entertain peopleLCJ impress people[D]interest people59.The writer thinks that you should keep company with those who[A]point out your mistakes[B]tolerate your weaknesses[CJ emphasize your strengths[D] understand your complaints60.In the face of a severe loss, the best thing you can do is to.[A] deny the hurtLBJ try to forget it[CJ solve it at once[D] accept it calmlyPartBDirections:Read the texts from a magazine section called " Letters n in which five people commented on a special report on new medicines.

2020年全国英语等级三级试题及答案(卷二)A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew,the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome youngman came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter,”the young man replied poetically(得体地). He then began this well-known story: “Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop,”shouted the Prince. “I can’t,”answered the young man.“I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.”“But that will go on for ever.”The Prince protested. “Exactly,”the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.1.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET 1 by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.TextIt was a quarter 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 fewminutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises," she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone 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. Hardlylooking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realised that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in 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.1. 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 office2. Marie could hardly recognise the office she went into as _______.[A she had been there only once[B Mr. King was not in the office[C nobody was doing any work[D the office had a new appearance3. The people in the office suddenly started working because _______.[A they saw a stranger in the office[B they had finished their morning break[C no one wanted to talk to Marie[D the boss was about to arrive4. 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 forwork[D lacked devotion to the company5. 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 NeverPart B Read the texts from a magazine article in which five women talked about their slimming failures. For questions 1 to 5, match the name of each woman (1 to 5) to each of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Glynis Davis:I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and I couldn't lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone 2lbs in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year... but it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I'd lost the willpower and tried to convince myself that the odd bag of crisps didn't make any difference - but the scales don't lie.Roz Juma:To be honest, I never weigh myself any more - I've learned to be happy with myself. It seemed ridiculous to feel guilty about every morsel that passed my lips. Myphilosophy is simple: You shouldn't be preoccupied with food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming about a super-thin body. This is obviously the size I'm meant to be and, most of all, I'm happy with it.Lesley Godwin:I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I'd look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was me. That might have been my problem - perhaps I didn't relate to my reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are on you. I feel a failure because I've put on weight again... I find it humiliating and embarrassing.Ros Langford:Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I'd always been about 8 stone, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and I put on 2 stone in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet... I'm really good for a few days, then end up eating the children's leftovers or gorging on chocolate - my weakness. I'd like to be slim, but right now my priorities are the children and home. I may be more motivated when the kids are older.Julia Minifie:I'm a compulsive eater. I can't control my urges and I really love cakes. When I'm slim I feel like a milliondollars - and when I'm not I get very depressed. Over the years I'd tried and failed with just about every diet. I was determined I'd never put the weight back on, but at some stage along the line I lost my resolution, and it started to creep on again... Certainly I will face the same problem in the future.Now match each of the women (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements. Statements1. Glynis Davis [A I put on weight after I got married.2. Roz Juma [B The heavier, the merrier.3. Lesley Godwin [C Facts speak louder than words.4. Ros Langford [D I like myself as I am.5. Julia Minifie [E I'm constantly at war with my weight.[F Fame doesn't necessarily mean success.[G I think I'll be slim again.Section IV: WritingYou should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A You have read the following magazine advertisement in which a British girl is looking for pen-friends and you want to get in touch with her.Name: Helen YoungAge: 21.Interest: collecting coins, stamps and postcards; learningDifferent languages.All letters will be answered.Address: 42 Johnson Street, Edinburgh, EH9 1LN, UKWrite a letter to her (Helen Young), telling her about . your family2. your schooling/work3. your hobbiesYou should write approximately 100 words.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Isabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. In 2006, she started her own consulting practice, but by 2008, most of her larger clients had to drop her because of the economy. In 2011, she was undertaking irregular assignments and knew she needed a steady job. The first job she considered was Director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm's culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company's CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same. "Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn't do that," Isabel says. She called the recruiter to turn down the job and explained that she didn't feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she interviewed for another job: a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives : it was a low-stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employee-friendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn't be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down. "It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night," she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn't taking the jobs."In the past, it felt like dating, I was worried about hurting people's feelings," she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.26. In 2011, Isabel_______A. did consulting now and thenB. found a job close to her homeC. refused several job interviewsD. ran a successful consulting firm27. Isabel turned down the first job offer mainly because of its_______A. CEOB. cultureC. locationD. recruiter28. Isabel was dissatisfied with the second job due to its_______A. junior rifleB. low benefitsC. EnvironmentD. lack of challenge29. Isabel believed that her rejection of the jobs was______A. harmfulB. surprisingC. justifiableD. troublesome30. According to Isabel, it is important to______A. look for jobs with little stressB. look for jobs with great benefitsC. be truthful in declining job offersD. be cautious in declining job offersText 2You do not usually get something for nothing. Now, a new study reveals that the evolution of an improved learning ability could come at a particularly high price: an earlier death.Past experiments have demonstrated that it is relatively easy .through selective breeding to make rats, honey bees and-that great favourite of researchers-fruit flies a lot better at learning. Animals that are better learners should be competitive and, thus, over time, come to dominate a population by natural selection. But improved learning ability does not get selected amongst these animals in the wild. No one really understands why.Tadeusz Kawecki and his colleagues at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have measured the effects of improved learning on the lives of fruit flies. The flies were given two different fruits as egg-laying sites. One of these was laced with a bitter additive that could be detected only on contact. The flies were then given the same fruit but without an additive. Flies that avoided the fruit which had been bitter were deemed to have learned from their experience. Their children were reared and the experiment was run again.After repeating the experiment for 30 generations, the children of the learned flies were com- pared with normal flies. The researchers report in a forthcoming edition of Evolution that although learning ability could be bred into a population of fruit flies, it shortened their lives by 15%. When the researchers compared their learned flies to colonies selectively bred to live long lives, they found even greater differences. Whereas learned flies had reduced their life spans, the long-lived flies learned less well than even average flies.The authors suggest that evolving an improved learning ability may require a greater investment in the nervous system which takes resources away from processes that delay ageing. However, Dr. Kawecki thinks the effect could also be a by-product of greater brain activity increasing the production of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), which can increase oxidation in the body and damage health.No one knows whether the phenomenon holds true for other animals. So, biologists, at least, still have a lot to learn.31. Past experiments prove selective breeding can make animals better_______A. CommandersB. CompetitorsC. survivorsD. learners32. In this experiment, scientists observed that________A. some flies avoided the fruit without an addictiveB. some flies preferred the fruit with an addictiveC. the eggs of the flies were not damagedD. the impact on the flies did not last long33. The forthcoming report says that_______A. long-lived flies are better at laying eggsB. long-lived flies are poorer in learningC. learned flies have a relatively long lifeD. learned flies live as long as average ones34. According to Dr.Kawecki, greater brain activity______A. reduces oxygen consumptionB. regulates the nervous systemC. speeds up the ageing processD. stabilizes the ageing process35. We learn from the text that_______A. the research findings need to be tested furtherB. biologists are doing similar research on other animalsC. the animal world usually follows the same universal lawsD. biologists are applying their findings to other areasPart BDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A- G) given below.Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Richard:I've always viewed tipping as a way of saying "thank you" to the one who serves me. I believe what is bad is when no tip is left at all. The better the service, the higher the tip. Unless the service is literally perfect, I never tip more than 10% of the bill. Much like the harder teachers in school, I never give an easy “A.”My assessment is honest.Daniel:A tip is a "thank you," but in truth, a tip is payment for service. 20% is a standard tip. Servers deserve it for their hard work. Restaurants will never pay more for labor unless they are forced to do so by new laws. Tips make up about 97% of a server'stotal income. Those tips are needed for survival. So, before servers are paid a living wage, tip 20%.Kate:Why should I pay the difference between what the restaurant is willing to pay the employee and what an acceptable wage is? I do pay 20%, but I hate it. A friend of mine left Europe for New York City, found a job in a restaurant there and ended up making $5,500 a month. Enough above mini- mum wage? How about miners, construction workers, resident doctors, etc? Do they get tipped?Patricia:18 -20% for good service is today's standard. The restaurant and its employees arc too polite to tell you this or to put it on their menus, but that is their expectation and you need to understand that. I believe it is good manners to respect this. To do otherwise is to be openly rude. If you disagree, you arc wise to cat elsewhere, as you are hurting a hardworking professional.Michael:Tipping has gotten out of control. I always had thought it was 15%, and now suddenly servers have made it 20%. I tip 15%, and that's it. If the service is really superior, then I work higher from there. Interesting to be told ,“If you can't afford to tip 20%, then you should cat at home.”If all those people stayed away, the restaurant would not even be in business.Now match the name of each person (36 - 40) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements.Statements36.Richard37. Daniel38. Kate39. Patricia40. MichaelA. It's rude not to tip.B. I do tip, though I don't like it.C. Tipping shouldn't be compulsory.D. Tips are essential to servers' survival.E. If you don't tip, you are punishing the server.F. I think the current tipping standard is too high.G. My tip faithfully reflects how good the service is.Part CDirections:Read the following text from which five sentences have been removed.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It's difficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not have enough to eat.41Hunger kills more people per year thandiseases such as AIDS, malaria and TB combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world's hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world' s most populous continent.42 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean, In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don' t have enough to eat.There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars, droughts, floods, and the over- use of fanning land.43Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around. 44 In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food.45The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution around the whole world. Everyone will have enough to eat, but not overeat.A. The basic problem seems to be not a lack of food, but its distribution.B. More than a quarter are in sub-Saharan Africa.C. All these factors affect food production.D. It takes the effort of every country to fight against world hunger.E. In those places, obesity is a far bigger problem than hunger.F. Those places need far more food than they actually get.G. By the end of this year, more than 35 million people will have died as a result of not having enough to eat.Part DDirections:Read the following text from which 10 words have been removed.

Key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. Dear Sally,It was amazing to see your dance performance last weekend. I felt so proud of you when your teacher and schoolmates congratulated you upon your completion of the performance.While you continue to enjoy the moment, I'd like to share with you a small quote from Abraham Lincoln, “This, too, shall pass away.”I want these words to be your guide at every turning point in your life.When you're feeling very proud of yourself at an achievement, knowing no boundsat that moment, remember that “Tiffs, too, shall pass away.”When you're at a difficult moment in your life and don't know what to do, find comfort in the same words-" This, too, shall pass away. "I' m not saying that the ache of some losses and setbacks will completely go away from your life. In fact, often the memories of painful events will hit you unexpectedly like tons Of bricks and take your breath away years after they happen. But, like all humans, you have an almost infinite capacity to adapt to life's changes and a great ability to bounce back from trying times. This understanding should give you a spark of hope when you're in a season of despair; it should also build up your confidence for taking risks in the future.Sally, our lives are made up of several peaks and several valleys. That's the nature of life. Live each moment as it comes. And always remember “This, too, shall pass away.”Love,Papa参考答案及精析1-5 CBBCD6-10 DDACA11 -15 DABDA16 -20 DDBBB21 -25 CCCCB听力部分录音材料Part A1.

I particularly enjoy cross-country running, where you have to run across fields, jump over streams and so on. While I'm running I think about all sorts of things, and at the end of a run I'm sometimes surprised to find that I've managed to solve a problem that was on my mind.Next year I'm going to try the London Marathon. It's a long, hard race-26 miles, or 42 kilometers-and you have to be tough to finish, but I very much want to do it. I worry a bit about getting old, and I'd like to prove to myself that I'm still almost as fit as I was twenty years ago.I 'm interested in climbing as well as running. I'll never become an expert climber, but I know what I'm doing in the mountains. I successfully completed a course in snow and ice climbing when I was younger, and I've done a series of easy climbs in the Alps during the last few years. My wife doesn't share my interest in Mountains. She agreed to go climbing with me once, but she found that she felt ill as soon as she got above 1,000 meters, so we decide to follow different hobbies.W: You certainly seem to enjoy various types of recreation.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET 1 by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.TextIt was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises," she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone 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 doorand 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. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realised that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in 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.1. 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 office2. Marie could hardly recognise the office she went into as _______.[A] she had been there only once[B] Mr. King was not in the office[C] nobody was doing any work[D] the office had a new appearance3. The people in the office suddenly started working because _______.[A] they saw a stranger in the office[B] they had finished their morning break[C] no one wanted to talk to Marie[D] the boss was about to arrive4. 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 company5. 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 NeverPart BRead the texts from a magazine article in which five women talked about their slimming failures. For questions 1 to 5, match the name of each woman (1 to 5) to each of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Glynis Davis:I first piled on the pounds when I was pregnant and I couldn't lose them afterwards. Then I joined a slimming club. My target was 10 stone and I lost 2 stone 2lbs in six months. I felt great and people kept saying how good I looked. But Christmas came and I started to slip back into my old eating habits. I told myself I'd lose the weight at slimming classes in the new year... but it didn't happen. Instead of losing the pounds, I put them on. I'd lost the willpower and tried to convince myself that the odd bag of crisps didn't make any difference - but the scales don't lie.Roz Juma:To be honest, I never weigh myself any more - I've learned to be happy with myself. It seemed ridiculous to feel guilty about every morsel that passed my lips. My philosophy is simple: You shouldn't be preoccupied with food and dieting. Instead, you should get on with life and stop dreaming about a super-thin body. This is obviously the size I'm meant to be and, most of all, I'm happy with it.Lesley Godwin:I was very happy after winning Young Slimmer of the Year. I'd look in the mirror unable to believe this slim creature was me. That might have been my problem - perhaps I didn't relate to my reflection any more. Winning a national competition makes everything worse, though, because you feel the eyes of the world are on you. I feel a failure because I've put on weight again... I find it humiliating and embarrassing.Ros Langford:Before moving in with my husband Gavin, I'd always been about 8 stone, but domestic bliss went straight to my waist and I put on 2 stone in a year. Every so often I try to go on a diet... I'm really good for a few days, then end up eating the children's leftovers or gorging on chocolate - my weakness. I'd like to be slim, but right now my priorities are the children and home. I may be more motivated when the kids are older.Julia Minifie:I'm a compulsive eater. I can't control my urges and I really love cakes. When I'm slim I feel like a million dollars - and when I'm not I get very depressed. Over the years I'd tried and failed with just about every diet. I was determined I'd never put the weight back on, but at some stage along the line I lost my resolution, and it started to creep on again... Certainly I will face the same problem in the future.Now match each of the women (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements. Statements1. Glynis Davis [A] I put on weight after I got married.2. Roz Juma [B] The heavier, the merrier.3. Lesley Godwin [C] Facts speak louder than words.4. Ros Langford [D] I like myself as I am.5. Julia Minifie [E] I'm constantly at war with my weight.[F] Fame doesn't necessarily mean success.[G] I think I'll be slim again.Section IV: WritingYou should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part AYou have read the following magazine advertisement in which a British girl is looking for pen-friends and you want to get in touch with her.Name: Helen YoungAge: 21.Interest: collecting coins, stamps and postcards; learningDifferent languages.All letters will be answered.Address: 42 Johnson Street, Edinburgh, EH9 1LN, UKWrite a letter to her (Helen Young), telling her about:1. your family2. your schooling/work3. your hobbiesYou should write approximately 100 words.

Part 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 each person to one qf the statements (A to G)given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Patricia:I went by Inter-Rail this summer with a group of friends from university. I think it worked very well, although a few of them said they'd never do it again—I guess it wasn r t quite like they thought it was going to be~not as comfortable probably. We usually slept in hostels or on the train so we were completely exhausted but 1 think we had a great time. Next year V 11 see if 1 can perhaps visit fewer places and not get so worn out.Davis:I traveled about 6,000 kilometres in four weeks with a couple of friends from college. We spent weeks planning out the route and all the places we were intending to go to. Would I do it again? Well, f d have to think carefully about that but, on the whole the trip was good for me as I was the official translator, which was great as V m normally a bit shy of talking to people 1 don't know. On the last night of the holiday they treated me to a really expensive meal for helping them out. It was terrific!Jenise:Well, I guess I had a good time now when I look back on it, and I saw eight countries in four weeks. Everything went well but I think that from now on 1' 11 probably choose to do something else. I want to meet local people rather than just people who work for the train service ! I did get to know quite a few other English and American students and they were great but it didn* t do much for my French and Gennan.Nigel:I think it's definitely the best way of getting around Europe even though you have to spend money on the Inter-Rail ticket before you leave. I have a friend who hitch-hikes and he says that's the only way to travel because it's free and you see more interesting places. But I knew I could jump on a train wherever I wanted in the morning, while he would still be standing in the rain hoping for a lift. So all in all I think I got the better deal, especially as 1 could take the night train and save on hotel bills.Hawk:F vc done it quite a few times now and V m used to the kind of problems that arisc—likc having to sleep in a park because the train arrived too late for me to get a hotel bed, and trying to keep to a tight budget. The mistake people often make is to just get off at the tourist spots. Try getting off the train at the little villages, like I do. They1 re usually fascinating and the people are friendlier, too. Even if they don't understand your miserable attempt at their language they still smile and nod.Now match the name of each person ( 61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note:there are tivo extra statements.Statements61.Patricia ( A ) T d like to try something different from this trip.62.Davis ( B ) I saw something most people missed.63.Jenise ( C ) The trip didn't work out as expected.64.Nigel ( D ) The trip gave me a chance to socialize with people.65.Hawk ( E ) I wish I had seen more places on the trip.(F ) The trip was tiring yet enjoyable.(G ) The trip was good value for the money.Part BDirections: Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talked about the importance of doing exercise. For questions 61 to65, match the name of eachperson to one qf the statements ( A to G)given below. Mark your answers onANSWER SHEET 1.Mikhil Jaisinghani:After reading your article "The Truth About Global Warming 二 F m no less concerned about the earth's environmental condition. You say "Scientists arc still differing with huge gaps in their knowledge. H But Lindzen, the writer of the article, is no closer to the truth simply because he can criticize. Global warming may be far from understood, but let us act to prevent it anyway, just in case the effects are real.John Leaver:It* s shameful that you present Lindzen1s views on climate change as H The Truth About Global Warming. ” It seems that your magazine is keeping an open mind, even though you admit that most climate scientists disagree with Lindzen1s opinions. You characterize the view that waste gases should be cut as "very European. u I take it that it is very American to pursue a policy of unlimited energy consumption without considering what most scientists and other countries think.Thomas Hervouet:How can we believe a mall who holds that there is only a very weak link between lung cancer and cigarette smoking ? Lindzcn's position is unacceptable because it shows his lack of knowledge 1 about cancer. I believe that French President Jacques Chirac is more informed on global warming which no serious scientist denies-than President Bush, whose interests depend on the oilindustry.Hans-Joachim Hell:What Lindzen says makes sense to me. For years I've read articles on negative climatic change and greenhouse effect. The only agreement seems to be "We agree that we disagree . "Considering the recent chilly summers in Germany , Fvc no idea where the H warmin9,,Call be found. In past decades, summers were hot, almost unbearable. Now, in the midst of summer, we turn the I heaters on and wear warm clothes.Derek Kickinson:The U. S. government should act for the American people by signing the Kyoto Agreement, instead of acting for Big Oil in America. Even if scientists cannot agree on the numbers, global warming is taking place, and this is not beneficial for the planet. The anti-Kyoto position of the U. S. government is a short-term political move, but the long-term losers will be the American people and the environment.Now match the name of each person(61 to 6 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61.Mikhil Jaisinghani (A) Lindzen really has a point to make on global warming.62.John Leaver (B) America will pay a price for its shortsightedness some day.63- Thomas Hervouet (C) Though opinions on global warming vary, we have to dosomething about it.64.Hans-Joachim Hell 6(D)Lindzen seems unqualified to speak of the effects of global65.Derek Kickinson 'warming on health.(E)You really have an open mind to present Lindzen's position onglobal warming.(F)It's good that Lindzen's article helps further the discussion onglobal warming.(G)America's attitude toward waste gas control is to be blamedrather than Europe's.。
