Answer the questions on each text by choosing A,B,C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the surprise sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by firhouse in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Appleyard‟s terminology while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) had 9,000 cars a day and Franklin Street (HEA VY street) had around 16,000 cars a day.Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn‟t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldo m picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved. And more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.46.Appleyard‟s study focuses on the influence of ______.A.traffic volume on the residentsB.rate of crime on the neighborhoodC.social classes on the transportationD.degree of pollution on the environment47.Appleyard discovered that increase in the volume of traffic ______.A.made people more violentB.would lead to increase in crimeC.was accompanied by increase in crimeD.had the same effect on people as increase in crime48.The author‟s main purpose in the second paragraph is to ______.A.discuss the problem of handling trashB.suggest ways to cope with traffic problemsC.point out the disadvantages of heavy trafficD.propose an alternative system of transportation49.People on Gough Street ______.A.felt sorry that their block had been pulled downB.felt indifferent about people moving outC.thought their old community was goneD.thought mostly of themselves50.What can we learn about Franklin StreetA.It is not a nice neighborhood for childreB.People often throw trash out as they drive througC.People there have made friends with people on OctaviD.People there own twice as many cars as people on Gough StreeText 2Imagine, if you will, the average games player. What do you see A guy who never grew up Or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world Sorry, you lose. The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person. For the first time, according to a US poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game—whether on a PC, a cell phone or another handheld device—for an average of three hours every week.The games people play say a lot about who they are. Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports …stars and racing drivers. Men 50 and older prefer military games. Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line.Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers find it impossible to resist games; 1 in 4 admits to losing a night‟s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.But don‟t think we‟re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game. Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes. According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA-whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events. More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world (34 hours).51. The AOL survey finds that electronic games ______.A.do not present a violent onscreen worldB.no longer keep gamers from growing upC.are no longer exclusive to young peopleD.are not as popular with teenagers as before52.Who does the author say tend to identify themselves with the characters in the gameA.Teenage girlB.Older womeC.Men in their 20D.Men 50 and olde53.When asked about the extent of their habit, some players ______.A.refused to provide an answer to this questionB.denied they were affected by electronic gamesC.wondered why they were asked such a questionD.stressed their interest in playing electronic games54.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.electronic games are less harmful than televisionB.television viewers are more realistic than gamersC.television is more popular than electronic gamesD.gamers have less self-control than TV viewers55.According to the writer, the ESA members ______.A.have sufficient knowledge of gamesB.think their games are healthy productsC.serve as the role models for game playersD.are concerned about gamers' cultural activitiesText 3The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female‟s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.56.We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______.A.it is a special kind of birdB.it lives in large desert areasC.it has special wings and legsD.it is the largest bird in the world57.Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______.A.12 eggs in her nestB.18 eggs in her nestC.20 eggs in her nestD.30 eggs in her nest58.The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because ______.A.she can only hatch her own eggsB.those eggs are unlikely to be hatchedC.those eggs are to be hatched by othersD.she can only hatch a limited number of eggs59.The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and ______.A.colorB.numberC.shapeD.weight60.The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors' nests most probably because ______.A.her nest -is not big enoughB.she cannot protect all her eggsC.she cannot tolerate all her eggsD.her nest is not comfortable enoughPart BDirections: Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today‟s single women. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn‟t hav e to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn‟t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men.Grise LevisonI think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you‟d want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.Marry BrownIn recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them.Donna SmithI think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren‟t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.Elizabeth BudyI think that people who have clone at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It‟s also true that they‟re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning pow er, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.Now match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable mar riage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn‟t a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance is needed for today‟s single women.61.____________________62.____________________63.____________________64.____________________65.____________________Section ⅣWritingDirections: Y ou should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A1.

In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading （封锁）fleet. There was always the chance，and it is that chance which has excited and befooled （愚弄）the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted，and when we see the originality of malice （怨恨），the ingenuity of aggression，which our enemy displays，we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem （战略）and every kind of brutal and treacherous （奸诈）maneuver （花招）。

You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer sheet with a single line through thecenter.Passage OneQuestions 61-65 are based on the following passage:As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once You are in the habit of rushing through life and working from morning till night , it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natu5ral part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation(动机) and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress and such characters are obviously the best material for managerial responsibilities Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between life “flight or fight” and in more primitive(原始的)days the choices made the difference between life and death. The crises(危机) we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseased links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could),we need to find ways to deal with it.61.Which of the following is a possible consequence of the increased pace of life?A. One will overwork himselfB. One will have more time for relaxation.C. One will no longer be used to the slow pace of life.D. One will get physically weaker but mentally stronger.62.What does the writer mainly want to tell us in the second paragraph?A. How stress affects usB. What she thinks stress is \C. Why people misunderstand stressD. How people may benefit from stress63. Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “withstand” in Paragraph 3?A. bearB. fearC. produceD. reduce64. Which of the following is false according to the last paragraph ?A. Some people can handle stress better than othersB. Once exposed to stress, people‟s health is harmedC. People react to stress both physically and mentallyD. People do not often meet life-or-death crises in modern times65. What do you think the writer will go on to discuss in the following paragraphs?A. Ways to avoid stressB. Ways to broaden our mindC. Ways to keep fit physicallyD. Ways to bring stress under controlPassage TwoQuestions 66-70 are based on the following passage:Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover or merely you are there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive duet jacket(护套) is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of abookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart‟s content. No assistant will approach you with inevitable (必有的) greeting: “Can I hope you, sir?” You needn‟t buy anything you don‟t want.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop in a bookshop .It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about painting-something that had only vaguely interested you up until then. Maybe that part of the book you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. A part from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.66. What does the writer mean when he mentions a person who finds shelter in abookshop?A. The person likes a quite placeB. The person enjoys reading booksC. The person goes there by accidentD. The person seldom goes to bookshops67. What does the writer mean by his example of a book with a dust jacket?A. A dull book may have a beautiful lookB. An interesting book can be very expensiveC. People buy books they fail in love with at first sightD. Everyone likes to buy books with attractive appearance68. How do people generally feel when staying in a bookshop?A. ExcitedB. RelaxedC. CarefreeD. Watchful69. What happens if you buy books you actually do not want?A. You may think you have wasted moneyB. You may develop an interest in them laterC. You may give them to whoever needs themD . You may end up reading them from cover to cover70. Which of the following is the best title for the passageA. Bookshop: An Attractive But Wrong PlaceB. Bookshop: A Place You Can‟t Help Going toC. Bookshop: A Wonderful Gold Mine to ExploreD. Bookshop: An Enjoyable But Dangerous PlacePassage ThreeQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:Going to court can be frightening, especially if you are a child. You may have to stand up in the witness box, and swear to tell the truth and answer questions in front of a crowd of adults. It would be even more frightening if you were the victim of a crime and you had to sit in the same courtroom with the person accused of attacking you, for instance. So the law in Britain has made it easier for children to act as witnesses. Children are allowed to tell what they know, form another room in the same courthouse. This way they do not have to face all those people in the courtroom.It works on a closed-circuit(闭路)television link, which means that the TV only operates Inside the court. The child witness sits in a room with a social worker in front of a TV camera. Everyone in the courtroom can see the child on a TV screen, but the child can only see the judge And the lawyers who will ask him or her questions. The system has been so successful that it will Be extended to more courts this year.Another way to make it easy for a child to act as a witness is to set up screen in theCourtroom around the winters box so that the child cannot see the defendant(被告).Information given by children can be very important to a court trial, but before 1988 the law Did not really recognize that children told the truth. t stated that anything a child said in court Had to be supported by other evidence of the case.71.What is the most frightening to a child witness?A)He has to stand before many adults.B)He has to tell all he knows about the case.C)He has to answer many questions in court.D)He has to face his attacker in the same room.72.Who is/are not allowed to appear in a courtroom together with a child witness?A)The judge of the case.B)The lawyers involved.C)The suspect of the crime.D)The social workers involved.73.Which of the following statements is false according to the passage?A)A child witness can watch TV programs while the court trial is going on.B)A child witness can appear in the courtroom without facing the defendant.D)Advanced technology helps separate a child witness from the main courtroom.74.What is implied in the last paragraph?A) A child witness was not considered reliable until 1988.B)Information from adults is considered true in court now.C)The court dose not trust anyone without enough evidence.D)Other evidence than a child witness was more important before 1988.75.What is the main idea of the passage?A)How people in the courthouse hear a child witness.B)How a child acts as a witness in the British courthouse.C)How a child witness can appear in the courthouse calmly.D)How a child witness can tell the truth in the British courthouse.Part V Translation from English into ChineseDirections: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76 to 80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the numbered parts intoChinese. Remember to write your translation on the Translation sheet.There are two factors which determine an individual‟s intelligence. The first is the sort of Brain he is born with.76)Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a lower order of Intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.77)So the second factor is what happens to the Individual—the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped (智力低下的)environmentally, it is likely that has brain will fail to develop and he will never Attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.The importance of environment in determining an individual‟s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical(同卵的)twins, Peter and Mark.78)Being Identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same, When The twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes.Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to school. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated Intellectually.79)This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark‟s I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.80)Givenequal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.76．Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others.77. So the second factor is what happens to the individual－the sort of environment in which heis brought up78. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were thesame.79. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their teens, when they weregiven tests to measure their intelligence.80. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughlythe same levelPart VI Translation from Chinese into EnglishDirections: Translate the following sentences into English .

2009年12月山东省英语三级真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)
2009年12月山东省英语三级真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Start a discussion, bringing up new ideas and topics, and making suggestions. 2. Asking people for opinions, information, and explanations.3. Repeating ideas and explanations for those who can’t understand you.4. Encouraging people to speak by accepting different points of view. If an employee appears to be passive at a meeting, Americans may feel that the person is not contributing to the meeting. “Brainstorming” is a common practice at American meetings. The purpose of brainstorming is to express as many ideas as possible on a given question or problem. This technique is used to collect all the ideas of the group, without stopping to discuss the value of each suggestion. First people brainstorm freely; then they narrow down and get rid of ideas or suggestions that are not workable. Brainstorming is a creative process that demands full verbal participation. This method of creating, exploring, and solving problems is foreign to many people who are not culturally comfortable with “blurting out” (不加考虑的说出) ideas.21．If you are attending business meeting in America, you’d better ______ .A．speak out your own ideas activelyB．keep silent and listen to the others carefullyC．appear uninterested in the meetingsD．wait for your turn to speak正确答案：A解析：推论题。
