9月公共英语三级阅读考试练习及答案2017年9月公共英语三级阅读考试练习及答案Where there is life, there is hope.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的2017年9月公共英语三级阅读考试练习及答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!Directions: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 allof 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.参考答案：61-65 ABCGD。

Section II Reading( 50 minutes)PartADirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Ma——your ansumrs on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1An embarrassing experienceIt was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport.I had cabled Lond trom Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before Ireached my fiat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do morethan state that I carried no goods liable to duty. I was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed mydiplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so fired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, "have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness, "Yes, hundreds of times. ""And you have nothing to declare?""Nothing. ""How long have you been out of this country?""About three months. ""And during that time you have acquired nothing?""Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. "He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected."Where did you get that watch?"I could have kicked myself. Two days ago, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement."It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a finefor failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?"It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.26. When did the writer arrive at London airport?[A] In the early morning. [B] Late at night.[ C] At noon. [ D] Late in the morning.27. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?[ A] He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.[ B ] He must have noticed the writer' s ugly watch.[ C ] He wanted to embarrass the writer.[ D] He must have noticed the writer's tiredness.28. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?[ A] He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.[ B ] He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.[ C ] He didn't like the watch at all.[D] He was indifferent to the watch.29. What must have happened to the writer in the end?[ A] He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment.[ B ] He must have been given a fine as a punishment.[ C] His Rolex must have been confiscated.[ D ]His cheap watch must have been confiscated.30. What do you think is the tone of the story?[ A] Humorous. [ B] Sarcastic.[ C 1 Solemn. [ D ] Matter-of-fact.参考译文一次尴尬的经历当我们到达伦敦机场的时候还是凌晨，我已经从阿姆斯特丹往伦敦过电报了，预租了一辆车等我们，但是在我到达公寓之前又发生了一倒霉的事。

9月公共英语三级考试阅读习题及答案

9月公共英语三级考试阅读习题及答案2017年9月公共英语三级考试阅读习题及答案Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的2017年9月公共英语三级考试阅读习题及答案，希望能给大家带来帮助!Do 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 o f 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 stea m 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.1. 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.2. 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.3. 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 earlier4. 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 day5. 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.参考答案：1. D 第二段“The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening”。

Part CDirections：Reading the following text from which five sentences have removed.Choose from the$enl,ences A—G the most suitable one tofill each numbered gap in the text(41一45).There are Two extra senteaces that you do not need to use.Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.Everywhere you look.you see kids bouncing a basketball or waving a tennis racquet(网球拍).And these kids are getting younger and younger.In some countries，children Call compete on basketball，baseball，and volleyball teams starting at age nine. 41 And swimming and gymnastics classes begin at age four，to pmpare children for competition。

It’S true that a few of these kids will develop into highly skilled athletes and may even become members of the national Olympic teams. 42 This emphasis on competition in sports is haying serious negative effects.Children who get involved in competitive sports at a young age often grow tired of their sport.Many parents pressure their kids to choose one sport and devote all their time to it. 43 But66 percent of the young athletes wanted to play more than one sport for fun.Another problem is the pmssure imposed by over—competitive parents and coaches.Children are not naturallycompetitive.In fact，a rec：ent study by Paulo David found that most children don't even understand the idea of competition until they ale seven years old.The third，and biggest，problem for young athletes is the lack of time to do their homework， have fun，be with friends--in short，time to be kids.When they ale forced to spend every aftemotm at sports practice，they often start to hate their chosen sport.A searchers found that 70 percent of kids who take part ill competitive sports before the age of twelve quit before they turn eighteen. Excessive competitive away all the enjoyment.Need to remember the purpose of youth spons—to give kids a chance to have developing stron9，healthy bodies.[A]Survey found that 79 percent of parents of young athletes wanted their children to concentrate on one sports[B ]Many of them completely lose interest in sports.[c]Very young kids don’t know why their p arents are pushing them SO hard. The[d]young soccer organization has teams for children as young as five.[e]children should have a regular time for sports.[f] But what about the others，the average kids?[g]Sports for children have two important purposes.参考译文四下望望，你会看到孩子们打篮球或挥舞网球拍。

Answer the questions on eachtext by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. “Angel money” it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.As I was searching for “angel money”, I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arriv al, my company suddenly had a major technology “guy” in-house.Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had beenwatching my progress closely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven.“I have confidence in your plan,” she said. “You' 11 do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company.”Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.46. For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.[ A ] the salary it pays to its staff[ B ] the interest it pays to the bank[ C ] the way in which it raises capital[ D ] the speed at which it spends money47. By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.[ A ] the money borrowed from banks[ B ] the money spent to promote sales[ C ] the money raised from close friends[ D ] the money needed to start a business48. To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.[ A ] put up with unfair terms[ B ] change your business line[ C ] enlarge your business scope[ D ] let them operate your business49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________.[ A ] they were underpaid at their previous jobs[ B ] they were turned down by other companies[ C ] they were confident of the author and his business[ D ] they were satisfied with the salaries in his company50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.[ A ] she wanted to join his company[ B ] she knew he would build a team[ C ] she knew his plan would succeed[ D ] she wanted to help promote his salesText 2Nearly all “speed reading” courses have a “pacing” element--some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a pub-lic clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up.Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter ( if you are reading a novel) or every section orgroup of ten or twelve pages ( if it is a text-book) and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter.You can also try “lightning speed” exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your "normal" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a ‘lightning speed' reading through (probably 600 w. p. m. ) you will usually find that your “normal” speed has increased-perhaps. by as much as 50-100 w. p.m. This is the technique sportsmen use when they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.51. According to the passage, a “pacing” device_________.[ A ]is used to time student' s reading speed[ B ]is. not used in most, speed reading courses[ C ] is used as .an aid to vocabulary learning[ D ] should be used whenever we read alone52. In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_________.[ A ] avoids the need for reading faster[ B ] is not the same as pacing[ C ] may seem unworkable at first[ D ] helps you to remember your page number53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_______.[ A ] every chapter[ B ] every section[ C ] every four or five pages[ D ] every ten or twelve pages54. The purpose of the “lightning speed” exercise is to_________.[ A ] increase your speed by scanning the text first[ B ] test your maximum reading speed[ C ] help you understand more of the content of the book [ D ] enable you to win reading races against your friends55. The best title for this passage would be_________.[ A ] Hints for Successful Reading[ B ] Hints for Speed Reading[ C ] Effective Reading[ D ] Lightning Speed ExercisesText 3There is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study agree: men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in 2-year-olds. It continues through school days and persists into adulthood. It is even constant across cultures. And there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology in the male sex hormone testosterone.If there's a feminine trait that's the counterpart of male aggressiveness, it's what social scien-tists awkwardly refer to as "nurturance". Feminists have argued that the nurturing nature of women is not biological in origin, but rather has been drummed into women by a society that wanted to keep them in the home. But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numerous to ignore. Just as tiny infant girls respond more readily to human faces, female toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal cues from others. And grown women are far more adept than men at interpreting facial expressions: A recent studyby University of Pennsylvania brain researcher Ru-ben Gur showed that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. The only such e-motion men could pick up was disgust.What difference do such differences make in the real world? Among other things, women appear to be somewhat less competitive--or at least competitive in different ways--than men. At the Harvard Law School, for instance, female students enter with credentials just as outstanding as those of their male peers. But they don' t qualify for the prestigious Law Review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials attribute to women' s discomfort in the incredibly competitive atmosphere.Students of management styles have found fewer differences than they expected between men and women who reach leadership positions, perhaps because many successful women deliberately imitate masculine ways. But an analysis by Purdue social psychologist Alice Eagly of 166 studies of leadership style did find one consistent difference: Men tend to be more “autocratic”-making decisions on their own--while women tend to consult colleagues and subordinates more often. Studies of behavior in small groups turn up even more differences. Men will typically domi-nate the discussion, says University of Toronto psychologist Kenneth Dion, spending more time talking and less time listening.56. The passage mainly discusses__________.[ A ] how sex differences are demonstrated in social relations [ B ] how hormone determines sex differences[ C ] why there are differences between males and females [ D ] why men and women have different social roles57. Which of the following is true of women's nurturing nature according to the passage?[ A ] It is not inborn in any sense.[ B ] It is inspired by women' s families.[ C ] It is caused by social prejudice.[ D ] It is partly biological in origin.58.

It can be inferred from the passage that the writer_________.[ A ] denies the difference sexes make in real life[ B ] is prejudiced against men[ C ] discourages women to be competitive[ D ] treats sex difference objectivelyPart BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about energy and making use of it. For questions 61 to 65, matchthe name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.Jackson:Viewed from a scientist's standpoint, all of the energy contained in fuel either now or in the future becomes heat. Some of the heat is used directly or produces useful work. The rest is lost or rejected. That is to say, it is radiated into the atmosphere from the engines, motors, furnaces, power lines, television sets, boilers and all the other energy-consuming machinery that makes our wheels go around.Browning:It is necessary to improve the efficiency with. which we use energy in order to do more work. But improvement cannot come overnight, and there are limits beyond which not even science can help. According to the Center for Strategic and International studies, about three quarters of the energy we use to move things, including ourselves, accomplishes no useful work.Jeffrey:In terms of efficiency, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation may be using en-ergy more efficiently than private automobiles. Unless private automobiles can operate at near capacity, their overall efficiency is poor. For example, an urban bus carrying 36 passengers may achieve an efficiency of around 120 passenger-miles per gallon of gasoline. But buses are not al-ways fully loaded, and sometimes they carry no passengers at all.Vandenberg:It is true that buses can sometimes run without passengers. City trains seem to be very effi-cient, but they suffer the same shortcomings as buses and cost more. Except for rush hours,com-muter trains seldom run at full capacity. This wastes even more energy and is more than the management can afford. As a result, commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people.Nathan:For some people, mass transportation may serve their needs. For others, a combination of mass transportation and private transportation may be preferable. Better design and wise use of both mass transportation systems and private vehicles will play an important part in helping us make full-er use of energy for transportation.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Jackson 62. Browning 63. Jeffrey 64. Vandenberg 65. Nathan[ A ] City trains and buses have different faults to overcome.[ B ] The efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population.[ C ] Public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.[ D ] Private cars usually run at full capacity.[ E ] No fuel energy is fully used.[ F ] A combined means of transport can help increase energy efficiency.[ G ] Problems of energy loss can never be completely solved.。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular.“123456” or "12345"are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers(and hackers) create dictionaries which list com- mon passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small sam- ples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date—70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games."Nag screens" that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt: "An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts.' And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it's time for users to consider the altenatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out2017年3月笔试真卷第6页(共12页)[C] random numbers [D] popular names27.Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to[A] lack of research tools [B] lack of research funds[C] limited time of studies [D] limited size of samples28. It is indicated in the text that[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] young people tend to have secure passwords[C} nag screens help little in password security[D] passwords for credit cards are usually safe29.

The last paragraph of the text suggests that[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C] big websites limit the number of guesses[D] big websites offer users convenient accessText2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain's heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones' foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them,says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historie remains,which were disappearing fast. Threats also in- cluded farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain's largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved."Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,"says Glancey."At the time places like Stonchenge were just sen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.""Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history."2017年3月笔试真卷第7页(共12页)But Lubbock couldn't buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed govemment powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally, in 1882, it was voted into law. It had, however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain's heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 1800s was[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C] legally protected [D] a public property32. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because[A] rats weakened its foundation [B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it [D] visitors chipped pieces off it33.Lubbock proposed a bill to[A] push people to learn history [B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection [D] push visitors to behave properly34. When the bill was voted into law in 1882,it had been made less[A] severe [B] biased[C] implicit [D] complex35. This text is mainly about[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments BillPart BDirections:Read the texis from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship.

Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy:As the mother of two girls, I was moved to tears by your article, because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don't think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it's really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.2017年3月笔试真卷第8页(共12页)Anna;My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings.and celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth:There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later 、my own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creep- ing in.Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on things like wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming, and hope that she enjoys her life.RuthI think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a news- paper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom are hotter and smarter than I was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them.Now match the name of each person(36-40) to the appropriate statement.Note; there are nwo extra statements.Statements36.Lucy37.

Walking barefoot to the lake, playing shirtless in the sunlight, and breathing fresh air feel good. 4]Studics have found higher rates of high blood pressure among people with the lowest sun expo- sure. One reason may be due to nitric oxide, a gas whose production is stimulated when your skin is exposed to the sun's rays. 42 Vitamin D, which sunlight helps your body produce, is also linked to berter heart health. So walk outdoors for 15 to 30 minutes daily.43 Research on 280 volunteers there found that people had a reduced heart rate, and lower blood pressure when they walked through a forest than when they spent time in an urban area.One of the consequences of modern society is that rarely is our body in direct contact with the ground. The earth has an electrical current. 44 Although"earthing" or "grounding" is con- sidered alternative by mainstream medicine, research shows that the practice seems to be able to re- duce heart discasc risk. So, walk around barefoot whenever possible, let your backyard grass tickle your feet, and dig your toes into sandy beaches.45 A 2011 British review of 11 studies found that people who exercised outside generally reported morc energy and less anger, tension, and depression—all factors contributing to heart attack—than those who worked out indoors.「A] Exercising indoors is another option.[B] It reduces both heart attack and stroke risks.C1Excrcising outdoors may be more beneficial than working out indoors.[D] In Japan, walking through forests for healing has become a popular practice.[E] Direct contact with it may be a stabilizing force for good health.[F] As a doctor, I can tell you they are also very good for your heart.[G]You'll get greater health benefits exercising where it's green.Part DDirections:Read the following text from which 10 words harve been removed.

Try to use your own words.Lee Rodriguez-Espada, 12,was late to the Wegmans Family 5k Sunday in Rochester,New York. To save time, her mom dropped her near the starting line before parking the car. Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line, expec- ting to congratulate her daughter within the hour.Concentrating on running,Lee didn't realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Tuming to another runner,she asked how much further."That's when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,"Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running.Realizing Lee wasn't among the runners crossing the 5k finish line, her mom alerted race of- ficials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worried but she couldn't quit. She needed to fin- ish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line,after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy."I see her with a medal and I thought,'Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real,'" she said."She decided to just keep running and not give up." "I'm really proud," said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.THAT IS THE END OF THE TEST.2017年3月笔试真卷第12页(共12页)参考答案及精析第一部分听力1-5 BACDA 6- 10 BCDDB II- 15 CDBBA 16-20 CDCCD21-25 ABAAD听力眼分录音材料Purt A1.M:Hey,Shelly, I am going to get some chips and water, what aan I getfor you?W;Well, I don't roaly nesd anything, maybe just a eoke, bet huny up, the movie will start soon.M: Dun't wory, I'll be righ back.2.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Sometime in the middle of the 15th century, a well-to-do merchant from London buried more than 6,700 gold and silver coins on a sloping, hillside in Surrey. He was fleeing the War of the Ro-ses and planned to return during better times. But he never did. The coins lay undisturbed until one September evening in 1990, when local resident Roger Mintey chanced upon them with a metal de-tector, a device used to determine the presence of metals. Mintey's find much of.which now sits in the British Museum-earned him roughly $350,000, enough to quit his job with a small manu- facturer and spend more time pursuing lost treasure.But digging up the past is controversial in Britain. In many European countries, metal detecto- fists, or people using metal detectors, face tough regulations. In the U. K., however, officials in- troduced a scheme in 1997 encouraging hobbyists to report their discoveries (except for those fall- ing under the definition of treasure, like Mintey's find, which they are required to report)--but al- lowing them to keep what they find, or receive a reward. Last year, a hidden store was uncoveredin a field outside Birmingham. It consists of more than 1,500 gold and silver objects from the sev- enth century and was valued at more than $4.5 million. While local museums hurry to raise enough money to keep the find off the open market, it sits in limbo, owned by the Crown but fa- cing claims by the landowner and the metal detectorist who found it.The find marks the latest battleground in the increasingly heated conflict between the country's 10,000-20,000 metal detectorists and the museum workers determined to protect its precious old objects. Supporters say the scheme stems the loss of valuable information about precious old ob-jects, while opponents argue that metal detectorists don't report everything.The debate centers on the larger question of who owns the past. "There's been a slow move over the centuries that precious old things belong to us all," says Professor Christopher Chippindale of Cambridge University. But in Britain at least, the temptation of buried treasure could change all that.46. According to the first paragraph, the coins in Surrey wereA. worth roughly $350,000B. possessed by a local residentC. unearthed about 500 years agoD. left by a merchant during a war47. What do we know about Roger Mintey?A. He produces metal detectors.B. He owns a manufacturing firm.C. He works for the British Museum.D. He seeks buried treasure as a hobby.48. In the U. K., metal detectoristsA. are rewarded for whatever they findB. are forced to obey tough regulationsC. may keep what they have discoveredD. should report whatever they discover49. As for the find outside Birmingham, it is still unclearA. how much it is worthB. how it was discoveredC. who is entitled to itD. what it is made up of50.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year, Rowena will be attending Harvard University. Billy, her younger brother, hopes to go to Com ell. What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school. In fact, they've never been to school. Since kindergarten, they've studied at home. Neither Rowena nor Billy feels as if they've missed out on anything by being taught at home. Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education.The home-schooling trend began in the U.S. in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today, as the home-schooling trend continues to grow, parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionallydangerous places. But can parents really do a better job?The answer in many cases is yes. In many studies, students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools. More importantly, these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge. "They are very well prepared for academic challenges," says Patricia Riordan, the dean of admissions at George MasonUniversity.One such student, Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling. Still, not every student is as successful as Robert."For every home-schooling success story, there are an equal number of failures," states Henry Lipscomb, an educational researcher. "There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome. " For example, they have fewer chances to interact with others of their own age. Consequently, they sometimes lack the usual social skills. "No matter what, though," states Lipscomb, "home-schooling is a growing trend. I think we'll be seeing more and more of this. "26. Compared with other students, the most different thing Rowena and Billy do is that________A. they study hardB . they do extremely well on achievement testsC . they never go to schoolD . they feel they have gotten a good education27. At first in the 1980s parents gave home-schooling to children for________A. better educationB . religious educationC . safetyD . all the above28. According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?A. Home is a safer place for children.B . Students taught at home are more self-directed.C . Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge.D . Students taught at home can go to good universities.29. The Walter thinksA.parents can do a better job than schoolsB . home-schooling will be more and more usefulC . students taught at home make greater achievementsD . home-schooling is good in some aspects30. The best title of this text might be________A. Home-schooling: A Growing TrendB . Home-schooling: A Better ChoiceC . Home-schooling: A Way to SuccessD . Home-schooling: A New Method of EducationText 2A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate. It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back. When you smile, you show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result? That person will usually smile back.You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin. This is often called the "thinking pose". Askyourself this question: Are you going to interrupt someone who appears .to be deep in thought? This position gives off "stay away" signs and prevents your main "sign sender" ( your mouth) from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs.The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other person--that is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someone's "personal space" by getting too close, too soon.Leaning forward a little while a person is talking shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what you're saying, and I'm interested in--keep talking!Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth, chin, or behind their head in the "thinking" pose. This position gives off signs of judgment, doubt, and lack of interest from the listener. Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged, this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing.In many cultures the most common form of first contact between two people is a handshake. Be the first to extend your hand in greeting. Couple this with a friendly "Hello", a nice smile, and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication.Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Direct eye contact shows you are listening to the other person and that you want to know about her.31. A person smiles to show________A. he is kind and usefulB . he is happy all the timeC . he is ready to talk with youD . he sees something funny32. According to the text, troubles in communication may result from________A. a dosed body positionB . an open body positionC . no smileD . the main " sign senders"33. Leaning back with your hands behind your head in deep thought while a person is talking________A. shows you are interested in and listening to what the speaker is sayingB . shows you want to keep some distance from the speakerC . makes him think-you are thinking about something elseD . makes him believe you are not interested in his talk34. All of the following gestures encourage communication except________A. leaning forward a little while a person is talkingB . crossing your armsC . looking in others' eyesD . extending your hand in greeting35. From the text we know that________A. communication depends.ads little on verbal language and much on body languageB . gestures always prevent the "sign sender" (mouth)C . we should pay much attention to body languageD . eye contact is always helpful答案及解析26.【答案】c【题型】细节题【解析】题干意为“与其他学生相比，Rowena和Billy最不同寻常的地方是什么?”从文章第一段第五句话“What makes Rowena and Billy differ-ent from most students is that they don’t go to school.”可以看出，他们最与众不同之处在于他们从来没有去过学校上学，因此正确答案为C。

When you log onto a website, a small pop-up invites you to book a bouquet for mercial warmth and gratitude are the atmosphere being spread around for this special Sunday in May.41 The popularity of Mother' s Day around the world suggests that Jarvis got all she wanted. In fact, she got more enough to make her horrified.42 They buy, among other things,132 million cards. Mother' s Day is the No.1 holiday for flower purchases. Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother' s Day. One protest against the commercialization of Mother' s Day even got her arrested--for disturbing the peace, interestingly.43 As Ralph Fevre, a reporter at the UK newspaper TheGuardian, observed, traditionally "motherhood is something that we do because we think it' s right. " But in the logic of commercialism, people need something in exchange for their time and energy. A career serves this purpose better.44 So they work hard and play hard. Becoming a mother, however, inevitably handicaps career anticipation.45 According to The Guardian, there are twice as many child-free young women as there were a generation ago. Or, they put off the responsibility of parenting until later in their lives.So, Fevre writes that the meaning of celebrating Mother' s Day needs to be updated: "It is to persuade people that parenting is a good idea and to honor people for their attempt to be good people. "A. According to a research by the US card company Hallmark,96 percent of American consumers celebrate the holiday.B. But what' s more, commercialism changes young people' s attitude towards motherhood.C. Obviously, the best gift will be a phone call or a visit.D. The American version of Mother' s Day was thought up as early as 1905, by Anna Jarvis, as a way of recognizing the real value of motherhood.E. In addition, women are being encouraged to pursue any career they desire.F. As a result, motherhood has suffered a huge drop in status since the 1950s.G.

Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this year' s world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world?No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games sim- ilar to soccer.Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today.26. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?[A] Americans were preparing for the world cup when the author wrote this article.[ B ] More younger Americans became interested in soccer in the last 30 years.[ C] Soccer is the fastest developing sport in the world.[ D ] The article was written before the world cup held in the United States.27. Which was the most popular sport as a traditional game among students?[ A ] Basketball.[ B ] American football.[C] Soccer.[D] Tennis.28. For how long has soccer been played in the United States?[ A] About a hundred years.[ B ] About fifty years.[ C ] Only recently.[ D ] About thirty years.29. Who invented the modem soccer game?[ A ] American Indians. [ B ] British.[c] Geeks [D] Romans.30. What is the author going to state in the next paragraph?[A] There have been attempts to start a professional soccer organization in the U. S..[ B ] In the 12th century soccer games in Britain often involved whole towns.[C] Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe.[D] Experts believed that the United States would win.Text 2The cohesiveness(内聚力) of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine prac- tices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours--what we here call "shift work"--makes the lives of families difficult.Existing re.search shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do "whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage,in- cluding sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is character- ized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers" whose major responsibility is to sup- port the family ;wives arc "homemakers" who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.The women's definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife's response:I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me,expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speak- ing, wben it' s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything.T o husbands,a good wife is someone who is:Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work,I hope I get it al work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don' t want her to give me a lot of shil when I come home from work because I don' t know if this makes much sense.These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.31. Despite , shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life.[ A ] traditional beliefs about marriage[ B ] Jack of control over time[ C ] a very clear division of roles[ D ] the demands of work32.

In order to continue the marriages of the shift workers,[ A] wives must learn to care for the children when their husbands are absent[ B ] shift work couples must administer their time and activities[ C ] wives mustn' t adapt their own feelings of boredom to their husbands'[ D ] all of thesework35.

PUBLIC ENGLISH TEST SYSTEM (PETS) LEVEL 3 2017年3月全国英语等级考试第三级笔试真题试卷SECTION ⅠListening（25 minutes）答案：BACDA BCDDB CDBBA CDCCD ABAADSECTION II Reading （50 minutes）Part ADirections: Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess，but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “123456” or “12345” are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure，working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!，Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date— 70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords；those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games. “Nag screens” that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences，the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt：“An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts. ” And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it’s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are _____.[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out[C] random numbers [D ] popular names【答案】A27. Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to _____.[A ] lack of research tools [C] limited time of studies[B ] lack of research funds [D] limited size of samples【答案】D28. It is indicated in the text that _____.[A] Indonesians are sensitive to password security[B] young people tend to have secure passwords[C] nag screens help little in password security[D] passwords for credit cards are usually safe【答案】C29. The underlined word “compromise” in Para. 5 most probably means _____.[A ] comprise [ B ] compensate[C] endanger [D] encounter【答案】C30. The last paragraph of the text suggests that _____.[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C ] big websites limit the number of guesses[D ] big websites offer users convenient access【答案】BText 2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain' s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones’ foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angr y, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain’ s largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved.“Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,’’ says Glancey. “At the time places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.”“Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural histor y. ”But Lubbock couldn’t buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally，in 1882，it was voted into law. It had，however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain' s heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 18(K)s was _____.[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C] legally protected [D] a public property【答案】B32. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because _____.[A] rats weakened its foundation[B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it[D] visitors chipped pieces off it【答案】A33.Lubbock proposed a bill to _____.[A] push people to learn history[B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection[D]push visitors to behave properly【答案】C34. When the bill was voted into law in 1882, it had been made less _____.[A] severe [B] biased [C] implicit [D] complex【答案】A35. This text is mainly about _____.[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments Bill【答案】DPart BDirections: Read the texts from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship. For questions 36 —40，match the name of each person to one of the statements (A -G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy：As the mother of two girls，I was moved to tears by your article，because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don，t think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it’s really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.Anna:My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotion between children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings. And celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth：There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later. My own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in...Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in herloveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on thingslike wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming，and hope that she enjoys her life.Ruth：I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities.

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的2017年下半年公共英语等级考试pets-3阅读完整试题，希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!Part ADirections :Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEETl.Text 1It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her veryfirst job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before shecould get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "Smith Enter-prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the dooragain, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound ofvoices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she hadthe interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. Infact, it hardly looked like an officeat all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room,somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter asshe came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.46. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _ .[A] it was her first day in a new job[B] she was a little bit late for work[C] she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place[D] there was no answer from inside the office47. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as .[A] she had been there only once[B] Mr. Smith was not in the office[C] nobody was doing any work[D] the office had a new appearance48. The people in the office suddenly started working because .[A] they saw a stranger in the office[B] their morning break was ended[C] no one wanted to talk to Marie[D] the boss was about to arrive49. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise . .[A] would start their work by listening to a joke. [B] were cold to newcomers[C] were always punctual for work[D] lacked devotion to the company50. The best title for this text would be. .[A] Punctual Like a Clock[B] A Cold Welcome[C] An Unpunctual Manager[D] Better Late Than NeverText 2For most of us, dieting is a frustrating fact of life. With so much conflicting nutritional information about, it can be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let' s start by discounting these confusing myths.1. All calories are created equalWhat you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain, according to research.Calories from fat pack on the pounds. The reason: during digestion, the body burns many more calories metabolizing protein and carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat.2. Desserts are tabooCakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet,the expert says. Moderation is the key. CVt down on other meals if you'll be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets.Or indulge, but take only a few bites.3. Fast foods are forbiddenA plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice. So is grilled chicken or a green salad with low-cal dressing. But watch out for French fries, milkshakes and batter-dipped chicken or fish.4. Fasting is the fastest dietSome studies suggest that drastically reducing calorie intake switches the body into a " starvationmode", which conserves calories and decreases your metabolic rate. The more frequently you deprive yourself of food, the better your body may get at storing calories. So, in the long run, repeated fasting may actually undermine your weight-loss efforts.5. To keep weight off, simply watch what you eat .According to experts, exercise combined with dieting ensures weight Joss better than dieting alone does. Experts also agree that sticking with regular, moderate exercise is more important that occasional vigorous workouts are. Obesity-researcher Kelly Brownell encourages patients to make a series of small physical efforts: taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking the car far from where you are going and walking.Most important, before getting caught up in dietary myths, let good sense shape your eating habits. Your body will thank you for it.51. It cannot be inferred from the first paragraph that _ .[A] the information about dieting is always- contradictory[B] there are too many weight-loss strategies to choose from[C] dieting is always troublesome to most people[D] people should not believe the ideas of dieting52. One of the elements to gain weight is _ .[A] the amount of the food you eat[B] over sleeping[C] laziness[D] the kind of food you eat53. Which of the following saying is true about dieting?[A] You can't eat sweets.[B] Fast foods are not good.[C] You should not neglect any meals.[D] Fasting is always helpful54. The phrase "starvation mode" means .[A] being very hungry[B] eating what you like when you are hungry[C] weight-loss efforts[D] being ready to eat55. The word "shape" in the last sentence means .[A] break [B] form[C] get rid of [D] changeText 3Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employees and the self-employed. Labor is one of the country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services required by the community. .Though the size of the workforce relies greatly on the size of the total population,there are several other aspects which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a verymarked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work,then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution.If the population grows rapidly from natural increase,i. e. the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths,then as a total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described as aging,which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly,and as people retire from the workforce, there are inadequate numbers of young people entering it to take place of those who are leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the population in the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate. ' The age distribution of the population has several important influences on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hotels,finance must be available for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population,then the government tax receipts are relatively low and either the govemment has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.56. Labor force is composed of .[A] people who are available to work and earn income[B] self-employed people only[C] only those who are looking for an employment[D] only the employees57. The factor which does NOT influence the size of the worldorce is _ .[A] the size of population[B] age distribution of the population[C] national economy[D] natural increase58. The conclusion which can be drawn safely from the second paragraph is that _[A] a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the work-force[B] a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce[C] the larger the number of the aged in a population,the higher the proportion of the workforce[D] if the population has an evenly spreaded age distribution,the workforce will be lower59. When a population is said to be aging,_ .[A] more people are retiring than people entering the workforce[B] the birth rate is growing '[C] there is an oversupply of workforce[D] young people outnumber old people60. The population which is top-heavy with older people poses a problem to _ .[A] the government [B] the economy[C] the workforce [D] all of the above。

全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案2017全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案导语：阅读理解是公共英语当中对考生来说比较难的一个题目，因为选项当中有很多迷惑人的答案，下面是YJBYS店铺提供的2017全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案，大家先练练手吧! 【2017全国英语等级考试三级阅读真题及译文答案一】Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here; the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere; and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were hying in New York. These are the three States of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it' s a city of dreamers.What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its speciainess--but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it' s the capital of the world?People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $ 3.7 million a year for the city' s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city's bottom 10 percent.So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illu- sion that draws them?They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, theowner might be British. They arc not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, even the illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city' s econ- omy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.46. The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that_______A. they share the same longingB. they are in pursuit of dreamsC. they are proud of their birthplaceD. they wish to live in another place47. In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is_______A. powerfulB. diverseC. specialD. large48. The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York_______A. favors the luckyB. favors tue localsC. is a city of inequalityD. is a city of opportunities49. People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that_______A. challenge themB. suit them wellC. pay them wellD. raise their status50. It is hnplied in the text that New York is_______A. a tolerant cityB. a wealthy cityC. a mythical cityD. a historical city译文当今有三种不同类型的纽约人：第一种表现得好像他们生来就在纽约;第二种虽然在纽约却希望生活在别处;第三种是来自世界各地的一群希望生活在纽约的虚拟纽约人。
