2011年12月英语三级考试最后冲刺试题及答案（第十三套）Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) (40%)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage IQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Why? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some small green plants growing there. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land.He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the rows of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away.Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and all of the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.21. A desert is probably _______.A) grassyB) treelessC) wetD) muddy22. Land is becoming desert because of lack of _______.A) rainB) windC) peopleD) plants23. Which of the following is NOT the reason why small green plants are very important to dry places?A) They keep the earth from becoming even drier.B) They do not let wind blow the earth away.C) They add color to the dry places.D) They hold water.24. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A) it is bad to plant in rows in a dry place.B) it is better to raise animals on dry land than to make a farm.C) it is bad to make a farm in a dry place, but it is good to raise animals there.D) all lands that don’t get very rain are deserts.25. What’s the purpose of the writer to give a n example of the man?A) To criticize him.B) To tell an interesting story.C) To prove man makes deserts.D) To prove the hot sun makes a desert.Passage IIQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Museums are places where collections of objects are preserved and displayed. The objects may be anything found in nature or made by man. There are museums devoted to art, science, history, industry, and technology.But museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums, large or small, carry on educational programs. Museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music and art lessons, and other attractions.Museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of displaying them. All museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. Works of art are bought from art dealers and collectors or at auction( 拍卖)sales. Museums also accept gifts and bequests（遗物），but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. They accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.What is to be gained from visiting museums? Museum exhibits can teach us about the world in which we live—the materials it is made of , the trees and plants that covers it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. We can learn about the activities of man—his history and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.26.The first paragraph deals with ____.A) what museums preserveB) what kind of objects museums displayC) where museums obtain their objectsD) how museums function27. Which statement is not true?A) Museums are not only storehouses for collections.B) Museums are places where you can learn something.C) Museums preserve and display only things found in nature.D) Museums carry on educational and research programs.28. Where do objects at museums usually come from?A) From auction salesB) From art dealers and collectorsC) From gifts and bequestsD) All the above.29. The large museums accept _____.A) everything offered to themB) all the gifts and bequestsC) only objects that meet their high standardD) only things that small museums do not have30. The last paragraph is about_____.A) the knowledge one gets from visiting museumsB) the things one can see in museumC) the world and the people living in itD) museum collections from other landsPassage IIIQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeatthat makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. I f you let a baby grasp a rod and to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.31. The author _______.A) orders you to analyze defeatB) wants you to face defeatC) advises you to let a baby grasp a rodD) warns you not to confuse defeat with failure32. Defeat is valuable _______.A) because it is a factorB) because it isn’t defeat that makes you failC) because it provides the guide and encouragement to successD) because it is not a thing to be ashamed of33. What does the author know?A) He knows every success in life.B) He knows the factor making for success.C) He knows every man who is able to analyze defeat.D) He knows the life of every man.34. The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely _______A) to be a successorB) to face it with feeling ashamedC) to achieve successD) to be ashamed of it35. What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives?A) One should explore it.B) One should explain it.C) One should let a baby grasp a rod.D) One should learn it.Passage IVQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Through a series of experiments an American scientist has obtained an understanding of the social structure of the most complex of ant societies. The ants examined are the only creatures other than man to have given up hunting and collecting for a completely agricultural way of life. In their underground nests they cultivate gardens on soil made from finely chopped leaves. This is a complex operation requiring considerable division of labor. The workers of this type of ant can be divided into four groups according to size. Each of the groups performs a particular set of jobs.The making and care of the gardens and the nursing of the young ants are done by the smallest workers. Slightly larger workers are responsible for chopping up leaves to make them suitable for use in the gardens and for cleaning the nest. A third group of still larger ants do the construction work and collect fresh leaves from outside the nest. The largest are the soldier ants, responsible for defending the nest.To find out how good the various size-groups are at different tasks, the scientist measured the amount of work done by the ants against the amount of energy they used. He examined first the gathering and carrying of leaves. He selected one of the size-groups, and then measured how efficiently these ants could find leaves and run back to the nest. Then he repeated the experiment for each of the other size-groups. In this way he could see whether any group could do the job more efficiently than the group normally undertaking it.The intermediate-sized ants that normally perform this task proved to be the most efficient for their energy costs, but when the scientist examined the whole set of jobs performed by each group of ants it appeared that some sizes of worker ant were not ideally suited to the particular jobs they performed.36. In which way are the ants different from other non-human societies?A) Individuals perform different functions.B) They do not need to look for shelter.C) Individuals vary in social status.D) They do not need to search for food.37. It seems that smaller ants perform more of the _______.A) construction tasksB) domestic tasksC) defensive workD) heavy work38. "Good" (par. 3, Line 1) refers to the ants’_______.A) co-operation in workB) sense of responsibilityC) work efficiencyD) willingness to work hard39. The scientist’s work was based on _______.A) occasional observationsB) biological theoriesC) observations of several nestsD) observations of an undisturbed nest.40. The organization of the ants has the effect of _______.A) getting the most work doneB) each ant doing what it can do bestC) each ant helping with all the tasksD) dividing the work up systematicallyPart III Vocabulary and Structure (15%)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

My idea was to create a small business profiling (介绍；概述) site that would make it easy for people to find places to go when they needed or wanted a particular service or item. I thought I should keep the idea a secret until it had been completely developed so no one could steal it. However, I should have talked to businesses and their customers to see if they would use a service like this. At the rime, I thought this idea was brilliant. I outsourced (把…外包) the coding work, and spent $1000 of my own money, to build a product that was far from the one I expected. My money was wasted, and I had found out the hard way that my idea couldn‟t work.From this experience I learned a couple of things, one of which was that outsourcing work is a very risky move that should only be done with care and great attention. The other thing I learned was that sharing your idea with others is much more valuable than keeping it to yourself. By giving others an idea of what you aretrying to do, you will get valuable feedback as well as figure out whether or not your idea has legs.33．The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _____.A) emphasize the importance of the urge to start a companyB) explain his idea about creating a business websiteC) share some lessons he learned in starting a businessD) give warnings to the readers against outsourcing34. The author decided to create a website because he believed it would _____.A) provide a convenient service B) lead people to small businessesC) be completely developed D) bring ideas to make his business grow35. The author started creating his business profiling site without _____.A) a unique service for customers B) an intension for investmentC) an investigation into the business D) outsourcing the coding work36. The author felt very much disappointed when _____.A) he talked to businesses and customersB) he finally finished his coding workC) he found his brilliant idea stolenD) he saw he finished product of the website37. If the author has another great idea to start a business, he would first _____.A) try harder to keep the idea a secret B) talk with people for their feedbackC) start it together with other people D) avoid investing with his own money Passage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Beijing is asking its citizens for opinions about the proposed garbage classification rules that it intends to introduce to better manage trash. As the most effective way to reduce harmful gases emitted from trash-burners, classification is a step toward the goal of reducing the total amount of trash.So far, classification of trash has only been practiced in some communities on a trial basis and investigations show that most residents haven‟t developed the awareness or habit of sorting trash into different containers. Some residents ignore the different trash cans and throw bags of mixed waste into the nearest can.How to make residents cooperate in garbage sorting remains the sticking point. Grassroots government, such as district committees and neighborhood committees, must be well organized and take responsibility for helping the public understand why trash classification is important and how it is done.In addition, community workers need to play a much more active role. Community workers need to guide residents so they know what kind of trash to put in which can. They also need to find whether there are residents who disobey the rules and throw away mixed trash.It is perhaps not easy for some residents to develop the new habit of putting different trash into different bags, but they must change. The safe disposal of urban waste will never be realized without trash sorting by residents.That process is a must for the rules to work.38. As the government prepares to introduce rules for garbage classification, citizens of Beijing are asked to _____.A) throw out less garbage B) tell what they think about the rulesC) reduce trash burning D) improve management of trash39. At present, classification of garbage in Beijing _____.A) is regarded as impractical B) is unknown to the residentsC) has met objection from residents D) has begun in some places40. Investigations show that most residents dispose mixed waste without _____.A) habit of putting garbage into trash cans B) practice of using garbage bagsC) awareness of trash classification D) guidance to use different containers41. The word “grassroots” (line 1, paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _____.A) “directly facing the residents”B) “in relation with grasslands”C) “in the countryside”D) “responsible for environment”42. The biggest challenge for the city to realize safe garbage disposal lies in _____.A) getting the public to cooperateB) reducing the emission of harmful gasesC) finding the residents who ignore the rulesD) organizing district and community committeesPassage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.In the United States, the handshake has become an extremely ambiguous (含糊的) symbol. At one level, it just means “hello”or “goodbye.”But it can also be interpreted as “we‟re in agreement.”And on a still deeper level, it can mean “everything‟s OK between us,” particularly after some conflict has been settled. But sometimes social custom awkwardly calls for shaking hands to signify (表示) the end of a meeting, even though no agreement has been reached or a state of conflict still exists.Then, of course, business types will read all sorts of meaning into the very style of your handshake. Even if you execute it under exactly the right circumstances, it must be firm but not too firm; it must be held for exactly the right amount of time but no longer; it must be accompanied by direct eye contact; and, to be more sincere, you should add your left hand to make a “hand sandwich.” You may also be judged on the angle of your hand and the number and intensity of shakes.And if this kind of confusion isn‟t bad enough, that‟s just the standard, ordinary handshake. Gangs (黑帮团伙) sometimes use special handshakes to signify group membership, and use “secret handshakes” as a kind of password, a symbolic way of saying, “We‟re insiders.”So if someone outside the group incorrectly attempts a handshake, the results can be quite serious. On the other hand, a high five (arguably a variety of handshake) pretty unambiguously expresses satisfaction or congratulations --- but that‟s the exception.43. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A) Handshaking is ambiguous because it causes confusion.B) Handshaking is an awkward practice of social custom.C) Handshaking signifies that an agreement has been reached.D) Handshaking may mean differently in different situations.44. In business handshakes, “a hand sandwich” is made when _____.A) you shake for a longer amount of timeB) you want to show you are very sincereC) you make eye contact and shake firmlyD) you use your left hand for shaking45. The number and intensity of shakes would be judged on business occasionsbecause _____.A)they show your personal preferenceB)they convey extra meanings in the handshakeC)they would possibly cause conflictsD)they signify your style of handshakes46. Gangs sometimes use special handshakes to _____.A) keep a gang secret among themselvesB) admit a new member into their groupC) show that they belong to the same groupD) pass a password to all the insiders47. A high five is usually used for _____.A) the end of an argument B) a password among gang membersC) satisfaction or congratulations D) an exceptional occasionPassage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.According to a recent food survey by the European food Safety Authority (EFSA), most Europeans aren‟t overly concerned about …food scares,‟ or food-related risks.Around 27,000 consumers across the European Union were asked a range of questions relating to the possible risks associated with food and the level of confidence in public authorities on food safety-related issues.When it came to the response to the threat of food scares, UK respondents (应答人) were less worried about all of the perceived food-related risks than their European counterparts (相对应的人或物) but were most concerned about the welfare of farmed animals and the quality and freshness of food. Only 29 percent of UK respondents thought that food could possibly damage their health, as opposed to 48 percent in the rest of the respondents were also less likely to permanently change their eating habits after hearing that a type of food was unsafe from media stories (only seven percent as opposed to 11 percent in the rest of Europe).Asked how they respond to information on food-related matters communicated in the media or on the Internet, about half of the EU respondents said they ignored stories in the media or worried about them but did not change their eating habits.The findings provide an important resource for carrying out further research on the relation between trust in information sources, confidence in public authorities and perception (看法) of food-related risks。

2011年12月三级考试真题答案

1-5 B C A A A 6-10 D B D C C11-13 C A C 14-16 C C B 17-20 D C D CFor Americans, time is money. They say, “You only get so much time in this life: you’d better use it wisely.” The future will not be 21 better than the past or present, 22 unless people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans 23 admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a 24 schedule for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other people’s time. They do not 25 waste people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no 26 visible beneficial outcome.The American attitude toward time is not necessarily 27 shared by others, especially non- Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as 28 something that simply there around them not something they can use. One of the more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.In this context the fast food industry can be seen as 29 a clear example of American culture product McDonal d’s, KFC, and other fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as 30 a symbol of American society and culture bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.Passage one31.

For blanks numbered from 28 to 30 you are required to fill in the missing information For these blanks, you can either use the, exact words you haw just heard or write down the main points in your own words Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.For Americans, time is money. They say, "Y ou only get so much lime in this life, you'd better use it wisely." The future will not be (21)________than the past or present, (22)________people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans (23)________ a "well-organized" person, one who has a written list of things to do and a (24)________for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other people's time. They do not (25)________people's time with conversation or other activity that has no (26)________beneficial outcome.The American attitude toward time is not necessarily (27)________by others, especially non-Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as (28)_____________________________, not something they can use.

McDonald's, KFC, and other fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald's restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as (30)_____________________________, bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.Part II Reading Comprehension (40 marks, 40 minutes)Section ADirections:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A). B), C) and D) You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31-35 are based on the following passage;A moment's drilling by the dentist (牙医) may make us nervous and upset. Many of us cannot stand pain. To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the “needled”—a shot of pain-killer—that deadens the nerves around the tooth.Now it's true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly sensitive to what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the world. Without our nerves, and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves, we wouldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of your body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to painBut there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (行僧), who sits on a bed of nails fakirs can put a needle right through an army and feel no pain, This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation, we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life31. The passage is mainly about__________.A) how to suffer pain B) how to stop painC) how to handle pain D) how to avoid pain32. The sentence "we pay for our sensitivity" in the second paragraph implies that ______.A) it pays to be sensitive B) torture is not necessarily a bad thingC) our pain is worth feeling D) when we have pain, we feel it strongly33. When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he suggests that__________.A) Indians arc insensitive to pain B) fakirs have some kind of magic powerC) some people may not feel pain D) the ability to handle pain lies in the mind34 The key to handling pain is__________.A) how we look at pain B) to accept the pain calmlyC) to show an interest in pain D) to feel pain as much as possible35. The word "withstanding" in the last paragraph most probably means_________A) bearing B) suffering C) killing D) stoppingPassage T woQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:For the past few weeks, we have been discussing national energy conservation alternatives for the future. Today I'm going to talk about what one community's presently doing to conserve (保存) energy. The people of Davis, California, have succeeded in cutting their energy consumption by1/3 since 1973. The first energy saving action that was taken in the early 70's was the legislation (立法) of street building codes. All new houses in Davis must have the proper insulation (绝缘) so that heat will not escape unnecessarily during the winter. New houses must also face north or south, so that they will not be overheated by the sun in summer. The law has definitely had an effect. Since 1976, there has been a 50 percent saving in the amount of natural gas and electricity used in healing and air conditioning. There are other energy saving features about Davis. Buses partially supported by the city transport university students throughout the area. There are 24 miles of bicycle paths, and today there are twice as many bicycles as cars in the city. By reducing the available parking space, the city council has succeeded in reducing the number or cars in t he city every day. Another benefit of the reduced parking is the greater number of small cars. People are saving gas because they are choosing no, to drive, or because they are driving fuel-economic car. Davis, California has become an energy saving model for other cities.Time is up for today. Next week, we'll return to our regular topic of national energy alternatives.36. The people of Davis now consume only __________of the energy they did before 1973A) 33% B)50% C)66% D) 75%37. It is forbidden to build houses facing the east or the west in Davis because theyA) would consume more energy B) would let heat escape more easilyC) would be built at a higher cost D) would be overheated during winter38. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) Buses are privately owned in the city.B) Buses carry students throughout the city.C) There are many more bicycles than cars in the city.D) Bicycle paths are longer than bus routes in the city.39. Which of the following is NOT an effect of reduced parking?A) The total number of cars is reduced. B) The number of small cars has increased.C) People like keeping fit by walking to work. D) People prefer using energy-saving vehicles.40. The speaker talks about the practice of Davis as a model of__________.A) energy recycling B) energy consumptionC) energy production D) energy conservationPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire (帝国). It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation.Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the villager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with; and hecan earn money by making charcoal (木炭) or selling wood to the townsman. He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappearThis does not only mean that the villagers’ s ons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up -allowing the rain to sink in—and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.41. What is the most important function of trees?A) Providing fuel. B) Providing nice scenery.C) Offering shade. D) Preventing natural disasters.42. What happened eventually to the rich, powerful country 2000 years ago?A) It broke down. B) It became a giant empire.C) Its people died of hunger. D) It built many ships with wood.43. It is implied in the passage that the villager__________.A) wants fire wood B) wants to cut down treesC) wants to make money D) wants to take care of trees44. Which of the following is NOT the role trees play?A) Loosening the soil. B) Giving man the shade.C) Hardening the soil D) Keeping the soil in position.45. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A) Benefits of trees for soil. B) V arious uses of trees.C) Functions of soil for trees. D) People's attitudes toward trees.Section BDirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.The study of history provides many benefits. First, we learn from the 46 . We may repeat mistakes, but, at least, we have the 47 to avoid them. Second, history teaches us what questions to 48 about the present. Contrary to some people's view, the study of history is not the memorization of names, dates, and places. It is the thoughtful 49 of the forces that have shaped the courses of human life. We can examine events from the past and then draw inferences about current events. History teaches us about likely 50 . Another benefit of the study of history is the 51 range of human experience which is covered. War and peace are 52 covered as are national and international affairs. However, matters of 53 (art, literature, and music) are also included in historical study.

People have been chewing gum-like substances since the early times. Some were made from thickened resin(树脂), a substance that comes from plants. Others were made from grains and waxes. But chewing gum, as we know it today, was invented by mistake, in 1870 when Thomas Adams, a photographer, became friends with a Mexican military general, Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna.After Santa Anna defeated the Texans at the Alamo, he was forced to leave his home country Mexico. Santa Anna stayed with Thomas Adams in New Y ork and introduced him to a gummy substance people in Mexico liked to chew called chicle. Chicle was the milky substance from certain trees that grew in the tropical rain forests in Central America. Adams wanted to use the chicle to invent a cheaper substitute for rubber. He tried to make all sorts of items out of chicle, including toys and rubber boots, but each of his experiments failed.One day, while he was thinking about his failures, he remembered that people in Mexico chewed chicle. Curious, he put a piece of the chicle into his mouth and began to chew on it. Adams added licorice (甘草) to the chicle and opened the world's first chewing gum factory.Much like Adams's discovery of chewing gum, the invention of bubble gum was also an accident. In 1928, Walter Diemer, an accountant for the Fleer Gum Company in Philadelphia. stumbled upon the invention while experimenting with new recipes (配方) for chewing gum. Diemer created a gum that was less sticky and more stretchy than regular chewing gum. Diemer learned he could blow bubbles with this new gum.Accidents or not, chewing gum and bubble gum are two inventions that people across the globe like!Questions:76. People were able to acquire thickened resin from__________.77. In his experiments, Adams originally intended to replace rubber with78. The phrase "stumbled upon" (Para. 4) most probably means________79. Compared with regular chewing gums, bubble gums were__________80.

2011年全国公共英语三级模拟试题及答案

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 men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-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 is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches”37 “teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may 38 , obviously, there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural39 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 internationaltennis champions 42 in their early twenties. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the 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.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there —moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage?I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,”I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.”“To another paper?”he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,”he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ”he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,”he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody —even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry ordismayed 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 a publishing house.49. When the writer decided to resign the Globe was faced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By “:I wish I were in your shoes.”（in the last paragraph）Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day[C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B] Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.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 in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate 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 of fossil 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 is correct and the world'stemperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as 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 conditions will 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 caused by 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 United States[ 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 soon58. The word “offset”in the second paragraph could be replaced 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 degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[D] the world's temperature will remain constant in the years 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; I can 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 I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say 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 on it. "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 realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes 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.

2011年12月英语三级考试最后冲刺试题及答案（第十一套）

2011年12月英语三级考试最后冲刺试题及答案（第十一套）Part II Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices mark ed A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the correspondin g letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage IQuestions 1 to 4 are based on the following passages:These days there are so many stories about the criminal activities of athletes that sports pages are beginning to look like po lice reports. What’s going on? American sports fans ask over their morning toast and coffee, What’s happening to our heroes?It’s not difficult to understand our desire for athletes to be heroes. On the surface, at least, athletes display a vital and indomitable spirit; they are gloriously alive inside the ir bodies. And sports do allow us to witness acts that can legitimately be described as c ourageous, thrilling, beautiful, even noble. In an increasingly complicated and disorderly world, sports are still an arena in which we can regularly witness a certain kind of great ness.Yet there’s something of a paradox here, for the very qualities a society tends to se ek in its heroes –selflessness, social consciousness, and the like –are precisely the op posite of those needed to transform a talented but otherwise unremarkable neighborhood kid into a Michael Jordan. To become a star athlete, you have to have an extremely co mpetitive outlook and you have to be totally focused on the development of our own ph ysical skills. These qualities may well make a great athlete, butthey don’t necessarily m ake a great person. On top of this, our society reinforces these traits by the system it h as created to produce athletes –a system characterized by limited responsibility and en ormous privilege.The athletes themselves suffer the costs of this system. Trained to measure themsel ves perpetually against the achievements of those around them, many young athletes de velop a sense of what sociologist Walter Schafer has terme d ―conditional self-worth‖. Th ey learn very quickly that they will be accepted by the important figures in their lives –parents, coaches and peers as long as they are perceived as ―winners‖. Unfortunately th ey become conceited and behave as if their athletic success will last forever.1. In paragraph 1, we know that when Americans read the sports pages they _____ _.A) are able to get information about sports gamesB) know more about athletes’private livesC) are like reading police reports.D) are surprised to find that their heroes are committing various crimes.2. The author suggests that people want athletes to be heroes because ______.A) athletes don’t display a vital and indomitable spiritB) athletes stand for successC) in sports we can see a certain kind of greatnessD) all athletes are courageous and noble3. The author argues that __________.A) the qualities a society seeks in its heroes are precisely the ones needed to trans form a talented child into a great athleteB) the qualities that make a successful athlete don’tnecessarily make a great perso nC) our society has created an effective system to transform athletes into heroesD) our society is responsible for reinforcing the qualities of great athletes4. By saying that young athletes develop a sense of ―conditional self-worth‖(paragra ph 4), the author means that _______.A) they are valued by others as long as they winB) young athletes are easily accepted by their parents, coaches and peersC) young athletes are always perceived as winnersD) young athletes lack the sense of self-worthPassage IIQuestions 5 to 8 are based on the following passage:On average, American kids ages 3 to 12 spent 29 hours a week in school, eight h ours more than they did in 1981. They also did more household work and participated i n more of such organized activities as soccer and ballet. Involvement in sports, in partic ular, rose almost 50% from 1981 to 1997: boy now spend an average of four hours a w eek playing sports; girls log half that time. All in all, however, children’s leisure time dro pped from 40% of the day in 1981 to 25%.―Children are affected by the same time crunch(危机)that affects their parents,‖says Sandra Hofferth, who headed the recent study of children’s timetable. A chief reason, s he sa ys, is that more mothers are working outside the home. (Nevertheless, children in both double-income and ―make breadwinner‖households spent comparable amounts of ti me interacting with their parents, 19 hours and 22 hours respectively.In contrast, childre n spent only 9 hours with their single mother.) All work and no play could make for some very messed-up kids. ―Play is the most powerful way a child explores the world and learns about himself,‖says T. Berry Brazelt on, professor at Harvard Medical School. Unstructured play encourages independent thin king and allows the young to negotiate their relationships with their peers, but kids ages 3 to 12 spend only 12 hours a week engaged in it.The children sampled spent a quarter of their rapidly decreasing ―free time‖watchin g television. But that, believe it or not, was one of the findings parents might regard as good news. If they’re spending less time in front of the TV set, however, kids aren’t rep lacing it with reading. Despite efforts to get kids more interested in books, the children s pent just over an hour a week reading. Let’s face it, who’s got the time?5. According to the author, the reason given by Sandra Hofferth for the time crunch is _______..A) quite convincing C) partially trueB) rather confusing D) totally groudless6. According to the author a child develops better if _______.A) he has plenty of time reading and studyingB) he is left to play with his peers in his own wayC) he has more time participating in school activitiesD) he is free to interact with his working parents7. The author is concerned about the fact that American kids ______.A) are engaged in more and more structured activitiesB) are increasingly neglected by their working mothersC) are spending more and more time watching TVD) are involved less and less in household work8. We can infer from the passage that ______.A) extracurricular activities promote children’s intelligenceB) most children will turn to reading with TV sets switched offC) efforts to get kids interested in reading have been fruitfulD) most parents believe reading to be beneficial to childrenPassage IIIQuestions 9 to 12 are based on the following passage:There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in sp elling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. T he problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writ ing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright chil d wi ll be likely to ―play safe‖. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: ―This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and yo ur writing is illegible.‖It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teac her was not wrong to drawattention to the error, but if his priorities had centered on th e child’s ideas, an expression his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.9. Teachers differ in their opinions about _____.A) the difficulties in teaching spellingB) the role of spelling in general language developmentC) the complexities of the basic writing skillsD) the necessity of teaching spelling10. The expression ―play safe‖probably means _____.A) to write carefullyB) to do as teachers sayC) to use dictionaries frequentlyD)to avoid using words one is not sure of11. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _____.A) students will be able to express their ideas more freelyB) teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakesC) students will have more confidence in writingD) students will learn to be independent of teachers12. The major point discussed in the passage is ______.A) the importance of developing writing skillsB) the complexities of spellingC) the correct way making compositionsD) the relationship between spelling and the content of a compositionPassage IVQuestions 13 to 15 are based on the following passage:Humanity’s primal efforts to systematize the concepts of size, shape, and number a re usually regarded as the earliest mathematics. However, the concept of number and th e countingprocess developed so long before the time of recorded history ( there is arch aeological evidence that counting was employed by humans as far back as 50,000 years ago) that the manner of this development is largely conjectural. Imagining how it proba bly came about is not difficult. The argument that humans, even in prehistoric times, had some number sense, at least to the extent of recognizing the concepts of more and les s when some objects were added to or taken away from a small group, seems fair, forstudies have shown that some animals possess such a sense.With the gradual evolution of society, simply counting became imperative. A tribe ha d to know how many members it had and how many enemies, and a shepherd needed to know if the flock of sheep was decreasing in size. Probably the earliest way of keepi ng a count was by some simple tally method, employing the principle of one-to-one corr espondence. In keeping a count of sheep, for example, one finger per sheep could be t urned under, counts could also be maintained by making scratches in the dirt or on a st one, by cutting notches in a piece of wood, or by tying knots in a string.Then, perhaps later, an assortment of vocal sounds was developed as a word tally against the number of objects in a small group. And still late, with the refinement of writi ng, a set of sighs was devised to stand for these numbers. Such an imagined developm ent is supported by reports of anthropologists in their studies of present-day societies tha t are thought to be similar to those of early humans.13. What does the passage mainly discuss?＿＿＿A) The efforts of early humans to care for herds of animals.B) The development of writing.C) The beginnings of mathematics.D) Similarities in number sense between humans and animals.14. The word ―conjectural‖in line 4 is closest in meaning to ＿＿＿.A. complexB. based on guessingC. unbelievableD. supported by careful research15. What is the basic principle of the tally method described in the second paragrap h?A) The count is recorded permanently.B) Calculations provide the total count.C) Large quantities are represented by symbols.D) Each marker represents a single object.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20%)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). Choose the ONE that best completes the se ntence. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throu gh the center.1. There is no ______ in insisting on the impossible.A) mind C) meaningB) sense D) help2.
