The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and parrtner, ED Rickets.I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that three are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.My three teachers han these things in common: They all loved what they were doing; they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation (思绪) ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies (萤火虫).She was fired, and perhaps rightly fightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion (激情) in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers eho told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude a new hunger. What deathless power lies inthe hands of such a person?31. In the writer’s opinion, school life is usually .A) exciting B) interestingC) tiresome D) challenging32. We can infer from Paragraph 2 that .A) it is easy to find great artists as well as great teachers.B) there are few great teachers but many great artists.C) the greastest artists are not easy to find; nor are the greatest teachers.D) being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge.33.In the writer’s opinion, a good teacher should .A) teach students the fundamental thingsB) stick to one subject and be strict with studentsC) teach students the knowledge ranging the worldD) arouse students’ curiosity and desire the world34. The writer’s first teacher was dismissed mainly bacause .A) her class was the noisiest in schoolB) she did not teach basic knowledge in classC) she let students shout and wave books in classD) she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively35. What is the best title of this article?A) The Teachers in My Life B) How to Become a TeacherC) What to Teach at School D) What Makes a Good TeacherPassage TwoQuestions 36-40 based on the following passage:According to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is arouse when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it , we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person’s thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns hoe to act in certain situdtions bacause of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are tow types of emotion: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfoed. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some string emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try every means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.Strong emotions can make it hard think and to solve problems. They may prevent a personfrom learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that ba cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.36. We leaen from the passage that an emotion is created by something .A) one feels in danger B) one faces in the outside worldC) one thinks bad or good D) one tries to escape from real life37. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A) Babies are born with emotions.B) Emotions fall into two types in genersl.C) Children learn emotions as they grow up.D) People can cope with the negative emotions in life.38. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .A) explain why people have emotionsB) define and classify people’s emotionsC) show how people avoid the negative emotionsD) explain what people should do about emotions39. When a student is too worried about failing in the exam, .A) he will simply give up B) he will not be able to think properlyC) he will need extra mental energy D) he will try very hard to solve the problems40. The word “drain” (para. 5) most probably means .A) ties B) stops C) flows D) weakensPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer’ and writing. In moet cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write.” I say to them,” not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poorly-paid affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose londing is never reward. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由职业) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter and felt like a genuine writer.After a yeqr or so, however ,I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to writer, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41. The word “prospects” (para.2) is closest in meaning to .A) rich resource B) reasonable hopesC) strong desires D) enormous advantages42.The writer mentions his 20-year career in the US Coast Guard in order to show .A) his regret at leaving the armyB) his determination to realize his dreamC) his disappointment with the army lifeD) his excitemnet with the new life in the big city43.

Then answer the questions or complete theatatemnets with no more than 10 words. Please write your answer on AnswerSheet 2.The advantages of some form of international in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more eaily and mor equickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise an there can be no real comminication between people of different nationalities.There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the exisiting major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple beause no exisiting major language, such as Esperanto (世界语), has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners.It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers, but there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language.First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps evendomination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and school abrosd, the process in not always popular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their educational system.Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use thoughout world. It could break up, with language developing from dialects (方言) of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other’s English.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2作答。

At the time France was in a crisis. The government was badly run and people's lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror.

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 OneIt is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don't believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts.I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn't even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.She was fired and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten backs but only three who created in me a new attitude and a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?31、 In the writer's opinion, school life is usually ______.A. excitingB. interestingC. tiresomeD. challenging32、 We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______.A. it is easy to find great artists as well as good teachersB. there are fewer great teachers but many great artistsC. the greatest artists are not easy to find; nor are the greatest teachersD. being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge33、 In the writer's opinion, a good teacher should ______.A. teach students the fundamental thingsB. stick to one subject and be strict with studentsC. teach students the knowledge ranging the worldD. arouse students' curiosity and desire to know the world34、 The writer's first teacher was dismissed mainly because ______.A. her class was the noisiest in schoolB. she did not teach basic knowledge in classC. she let the students shout and wave books in classD. she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively35、 What is the best title of this article?A. The Teachers in My LifeB. How to Become A TeacherC. What to teach at SchoolD. What Makes A Good Teacher Passage TwoAccording to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person's thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion, positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.36、 We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something ______.A. one feels in dangerB. one faces in the outside worldC. one thinks bad or goodD. one tries to escape from real life37、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Babies are born with emotions.B. Emotions fall into two types in general.C. Children learn emotions as they grow up.D. People learn to cope with the negative emotions in life as they grow up.38、 The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. explain why people have emotionsB. define and classify people's emotionsC. show how people avoid the negative emotionsD. explain what people should do about emotions39、 When a student is too worried about failing in the exam, ______.A. He will simply give upB. He will not be able to think properlyC. He will need extra energyD. He will try very hard to solve problems40、 The word "drains" (Para. 5) means ______.A. tiesB. stopsC. flowsD. weakensPassage ThreeMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and "writing". In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer".The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由栏目) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41、 The word "prospects" (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.A. rich resourcesB. reasonable hopesC. strong desiresD. enormous advantages42、 The writer mentions his 20-year career in the U. S. Coast Guard in order to show ______.A. his regret at leaving the armyB. his determination to realize his dreamC. his disappointment with the army lifeD. his excitement with the new life in the big city43、 The writer would use all the following words to describe his life as a writer except ______.A. failureB. lonelinessC. wealthD. hard work44、 What is the main idea of the passage?A. One may become a writer if he loves writing.B. One may become a writer if he keeps on writing.C. One will surely become a writer if he works hard.D. One will surely become a writer if he learns to write.45、 Who do you think most likely wrote this passage?A. A poor dreamer.B. A successful writer.C. A journal editor.D. A literature professor.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 beforemaking 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.CATV is a short way of saying "community antenna television". But "cable television" is the term most people use. Cable television allows 46 to receive TV programs that they cannot pick up with their 47 antennas. Television signals do not 48 the curve of the earth. They travel in straight lines in all directions. Signals from a TV station 49 toward the horizon and then go into space. If you live only a few miles 50 a station, you may not get any picture at all.CATV began in 1984. People in places far from TV stations shared the 51 of putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain, or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the station thick wires called cables ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly 52 .CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found 53 it. Local stations could feed programs into 54 channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather reports, and farm and school news at no 55 charge.Today, cable television has moved into cities. It brings in extra programs that city viewers with ordinary antennas cannot see. It is also used in many classrooms throughout the country.A. follow F. special K. moneyB. into G. empty L. chargeC. move H. for M. costD. regular I. reach N. viewersE. from J. watchers O. extraPart ⅢIntegrated TestingSection ADirections:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Smoking is considered dangerous to the health. Our tobacco-seller Mr. Johnson, therefore, always asks his 56 if they are very young, and whom the cigarettes are bought for.One day, a little girl whom he had never seen 57 walked boldly into his shop and demanded twenty cigarettes.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.The advantages of some form of international language in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise and there can be no real contact between people of different nationalities.There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the existing major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple because no existing major language will be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial language, such as Esperanto, has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners.It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers. But there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language.First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps even domination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and more schools abroad, the process is not always p opular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their education system.Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use throughout the world. It could break up, with languages developing from dialects of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other's English.76、 Why can we travel more easily nowadays?______________________________________________77、 Why is there no real communication between people of different nationalities?______________________________________________78、 Which language is spoken by more people than any other language?______________________________________________79、 Why do many people dislike about English?______________________________________________80、 Why can't Indian teachers and Nigerian students understand each other's English?______________________________________________Part ⅣWriting81、Directions: Some students prefer to start their own business after graduation. Others prefer to work for an employer. Which do you prefer? Give reasons to support your answer. Write a short essay of about 100 words on this topic. Write your essay on Answer Sheet 2.答案:Part ⅠListening ComprehensionSection A1、A[听力原文]W: You will get my car fixed today, will you?M: I don't see any problem.

2012年成人英语三级预测试题及答案
2012年成人英语三级预测试题及答案Part I Reading Comprehension(30%)Directions:There are three 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.Passage1(Questions1-5are based on this passage)Trees are useful to man in three important ways：they provide him with wood and other products;they give him shade;and they help to prevent droughts and floods.Unfortunately,in many parts of the world,man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important.76)In his eagerness to make money from trees, he has cut them down in large numbers,only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.And besides,he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees.So the forests slowly disappear.This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees.The results are even more serious:for where there are trees,their roots break up soil---allowing the rain to sink in---and also bind the soil,thus preventing it from being washed away easily;but where there are no trees,the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil.When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to buildwarships,with which to gain itself an empire.It set up the empire but,without its trees,its soil became poor and it grew weak.When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced with floods and starvation.1.What is the most important service of trees to man according to the passage?A.They help him make money.B.They give him wood and other products.C.They help him prevent droughts and floods.D.They give him shade.2.Why do forests in many parts of the world slowly disappear?A.New trees are not looked after properly.B.Many trees have been cut down by man.C.Man has not paid enough attention to planting trees.D.All of the above.3.Why did the country mentioned in the passage suffer from floods and starvation?A.Because an empire was set up.B.Because the empire fell to pieces.C.Because it lost all its trees.D.Because too much had been spent on wars.4.Why does land become desert after all trees are cut down?A.Because nothing remains on land except floods.B.Because there are no longer trees to keep the rain and protect the top-soil.C.Because too much rain sinks in and washes away the top-soil.D.Because roots of the trees break up the soil.5.What does the author tell us in this passage?A.How trees help prevent droughts and floods.B.The relationship between trees and man.C.How an empire fell to pieces in ancient times.D.A story of trees.Passage2(Questions6—10are based on the following passage)People travel for a lot of reason.Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines.Others are looking for culture,or simply want to have their picture taken in front of famous places.But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.77)Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it.Residents of cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short,and much of the rest of the year in the rain.Thisis the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them.Every summer,more than 25million people travel to Mediterranean resort and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason:sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediteranean countries. Italy’s30,000hotels are booked solid every summer.And13million people camp out on French beaches,parks and roadsides.Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37million tourists visit yearly,or one tourist for every person living in Spain.78)But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth.And with increased tourism,it’s getting worse.The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St.Tropez.And in many places,swimming is dangerous because of pollution.None of this,however,is spoiling anyone’s fun.The Mediteranean gets more popular every year with tourists.Obviously,they don’t go there for clean water and solitude.They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches.They don’t even mind the pollution.No matter how dirty the water is,the coastline still looks beautiful.And as long as the sun shines,it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin,London,or Oslo.6.The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that__________.A.they want to see historic remains or religious spots.B.they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs.C.they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites.D.they wish to escape from the cold,dark and rainy days back at home.7.In paragraph2,cities like London,Copenhagen,and Amsterdam are mentioned __________.A.to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate.B.to tell us how wealthy their residents are.C.to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.D.to prove that they have got more tourism than they an handle.8.According to the passage,which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?A.ItalyB.SpainC.FranceD.Greece.9.The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph3,i.e.,“or one tourist for every person living in Spain”means__________.A.all the37million people living in Spain are tourists.B.every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that country.C.every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist.D.every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.10.According to the passage,which of the following factors might spoil the tourists’fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?A.Polluted water.B.Crowded busesC.Traffic jams.D.Rainy weather.Passage3(Questions11-15are based on the passage)To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours.It’s a hard work and it makes you short of breath.To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes (as long as you’re not held up at the airport),but it’s an expensive way to travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you don’t mind the noise,and that takes forty minutes.Otherwise you can go by boat,if you remember your sea-sickness ills.All these means of transport have their problems and the weary(不耐烦的)traveler often dreams of being able to drive to France in his own car.“Not possible”,you say. Well wait a minute.People are once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnelor bridge.This time,the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel link straight to London.79)A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go by rail or by car on a bridge,whereas a tunnel would provide a rail link only.Why is this idea being discussed again?Is Britain becoming more conscious of the need for links with Europe as a result of joining the EEC(欧共体)?Well,perhaps. The main reason,though,is that a tunnel or bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London’s disused dockland(船坞地).A link from London to the continent would stimulate trade and re-vitalize(使…重新具有活力)the port,and would make London a main trading center in Europe.80)With a link over the Channel, you could buy your fish and chips in England and be able to eat them in France while they were still warm!11.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Swimming across the Channel takes less than four hours.B.The idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge is a very new one.C.It is considered to be more difficult to swim across the channel than any other means.D.A tunnel or bridge would only reach as far as the coast.12.A tunnel would be__________.A.less expensive to be built than a bridgeB.more expensive to be built than a bridgeC.less expensive to be built than a railD.more expensive to be built than a rail13.If they built a Channel tunnel,you would_______.A.neither take a train nor go by carB.either take a train or go by carC.only take a trainD.only take a bus14.It can be concluded that many of London’s dockyards are_____________.A.not usedB.fully usedC.seriously blockedD.opened again15.Channel link would________.A.allow us to by fish and chips in FranceB.make the journey from Europe to England dangerous but easier and fasterC.decrease more trade for London’s
