11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案_1

11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案Part I Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines mu ch less and didn’t watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.(76) [Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.][文章大意及重要词汇]美国30%的成人(adult)都有“体重(weight)问题”。

北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案

北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案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.Passage 1Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76)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, h owever, 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 ? (77 )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, andanyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to ______.A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameD. encourage young people to pursue a writing career2. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.D. The chances for writer to become successful are small3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He hadn’t seen aching for the better.C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He though that he lacked imagination.4. “…people who die wondering: What if ?”(Lin4-5, Para-3) refers to “those _____”.A. who think too much of the dark side of lifeB. who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decisionD. who are full of imagination even upon death5. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____.A. the wonderland on often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationPassage 2uestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the wo rld’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.(78)In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply man y of man’s needs in the future.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79)By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.6. What is the beat title for the passage?A. Needs of Man.B. Sea Harvest and FoodC. Sea and Sources of EnergyD. Sea Exploring Technology.7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn’t completely made use of the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been solvedC. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possibleD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor8. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.C. To argue that man should use steamships.D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.9. According to the author, technology is important because ______.A. resources on land are running short in ten yearsB. man can use it to explore the deeper seaC. it is a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used it to explore the sea10. According to the author, when will the problems to explore the deeper sea largely be solved?A. In the next generation.B. By the end of the 20th century.C. In the near future.D. By the middle of the 21st century.Passage 3estions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.Income, education, and occupation all play a p art in determining a person’s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women.(80)There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.11. What do we know from the first paragraph ?A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.B. There are more smoking women than smoking men in USA.C. It is good news that more people have given up smoking.D. The U.S. has more smoking people than any other country.12.What factors determine a person’s smoking habits ?A. Age, income and education.B. Age, sex and income.C. Occupation, income and sex.D. Occupation, income and education.13.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?A. City people are less likely to smoke.B. People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.C. Men with higher income tend to smoke.D. Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.14.What is the smoking situation for women ?A. The situation is quite the same for women as for men .B. Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.C. There are more women smokers with low incomes.D. Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.15.What can we say about teenaged smokers ?A. The picture about the teenage smokers is similar to that of women smokers.B. The situation among teenagers is quite the same with men.C. High school students are more likely to smoke than college students.D. Farmers’ children tend to smoke more.Part ⅡV ocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .

11月北京地区成人英语三级考试全真试题及答案(以下资料未经同意请勿转载)新大纲后的第一套题PartⅠReading ComprehensionPassage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day.(76) The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly ( although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.(77) If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believed that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep!【文章大意及重要词汇】在繁忙的工作和活动了一天之后,你的身体需要休息。

北京英语水平考试（BETS）三级笔试模拟试卷4(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. Part 1 2. Part 2 3. Part 3 4. Part 4 5. Part 5 6. Part 6 7. Part 7 8. Part 8 9. Part 9 10. Part 10 11. Part 11Part 1You are going to read a magazine article about a man who teaches children how to improve their memory Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-I for each part (1-7) of the article. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. There is an example at the beginning (0). A An obvious need B Gaining attention C The odder the better D Making sense of information E Trade secrets F Academic approval G A change of focus H Selected memories I An ancient skill Memory test Jerome Burne talks to a magician who teaches children ways to remember facts. The Greek philosophers knew about it and it could still dramatically improve children’s school results today, except that no one teaches it. “It’ is a very old technique for making your memory better. Try memorising this series of random numbers: 3, 6, 5, 5, 2, 1,2, 4. About as meaningful as dates in history or equations in maths, aren’t they? Chances are you won’t remember them in five minutes, let alone in five hours. However, had you been at a lecture given at a school in the south of England last month, you would now be able to fix them in your head for five days, five weeks, in fact for ever.”【B1】______ ‘I am going to give you five techniques that will enable you to remember anything you need to know at school,”promised lecturer lan Robinson to a fascinated audience of a hundred schoolchildren. He slapped his hand down on the table. In his other life, Robinson is an entertainer, and he was using all the tricks he had picked up in his career. “When I’ve finished in two hours’ time, your work will be far more effective and productive. Anyone not interested, leave now.”The entire room sat still, glued to their seats. 【B2】______ When he entertains, Robinson calls himself the Mind Magician. He specialises in doing magic tricks that look totally impossible, and then he reveals that they involve nothing more mysterious than good old-fashioned trickery. ‘1 have always been interested in tricks involving memory being able to reel off the order of cards in a pack, that sort of thing,”he explains. 【B3】______ Robinson was already lecturing to schools on his magic techniques when it struck him that students might find memory techniques even more valuable. “It wasn’t a difficult area to move into, as the stutf’s all there in books.” So he summarised everything to make a two-hour lecture about five techniques. 【B4】______ What Robinson’s schoolchildren get are methods that will be familiar to anyone who has dipped into any one of a dozen books on memory. The difference is that Robinson’s approach is firmly aimed at schoolchildren. The basic idea is to take material that is random and meaningless—musical scales, the bones of the arm—and give them a structure. That series of numbers at the beginning of the article fits in here. Once you think of it as the number of days in the year—365—and the number of weeks—52—and so on, itsuddenly becomes permanently memorable. 【B5】______ “You want to learn a list of a hundred things? A thousand? No problem,” says Robinson. The scandal is that every child is not taught the techniques from the beginning of their school life. The schoolchildren who were watching him thought it was brilliant. “1 wish I’d been told this earlier,” commented Mark, after Robinson had shown them how to construct “mental journeys.”【B6】______ Essentially, you visualise a walk down a street, or a trip round a room, and pick the points where you will put the things you want to remember—the lamppost, the fruit bowl. Then in each location you put a visual representation of your list—phrasal verbs, historical dates, whatever—making them as strange as possible. It is that simple, and it works. 【B7】______ The reaction of schools has been uniformly enthusiastic. “The pupils benefited enormously from lan’s presentation,”says Dr Johnston, head of the school where Robinson was speaking. “Ideally we should run a regular class in memory techniques so pupils can pick it up gradually.”1．【B1】______正确答案：B解析：“Gaining attention”即“吸引学生注意力”。

北京英语水平考试(BETS)三级听力模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析)

北京英语水平考试（BETS）三级听力模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1. Part 1 2. Part 2 3. Part 3 5. Part 5Part 1 You will hear people talking in eight different situations. For questions 1-8, choose the best answer (A, B or C).听力原文：Man: Because you need water for various reasons, you often end up making your overnight camp by a river. Providing you take care to keep insects away, this can be as healthy a place as any. Much as you might feel you need a good wash, one trap not to fall into, though, is the use of soap or shampoo. These may make you feel good, but actually give off unnatural smells in the jungle which act as a magnet to insects, thus increasing the chances of your getting bitten. Better to actually go in for a dip, being careful to dry off and re-apply your anti-insect cream immediately afterwards.1．You hear a man talking to a group of people who are going on an expedition into the rainforest. What does he advise them against? ......A．sleeping in places where insects are found.B．using substances which attract insects.C．bathing in areas where insects are common.正确答案：B听力原文：Man: So, how did the school football competition go on Saturday? Sorry I didn’t turn up to help, but I had so much to do, you know how it is.Woman: Oh, don’t worry-luckily some of the other parents came along to help. We just didn’t attract as many teams as we thought we would, and I thought the whole thing lacked any excitement as a result. You know, of course, that the point was to raise some money to pay for new trees in the school grounds? Well, we achieved that, and my kids thought the whole afternoon was great, so I guess it was OK.2．You overhear two people talking about a school football competition. What did the woman think of the event?A．She didn’t think anyone had enjoyed it.B．It managed to fulfil its aims.C．Not enough people had helped to set it up.正确答案：B听力原文：Woman: I was twenty-four when I went to China and persuaded the Beijing Opera School to take me on as their first Western pupil. I was twice the age of the other students and hardly spoke their language. At the interview I arrived with my little Chinese-English dictionary, which was quite funny as it helped towards persuading them ‘cause they thought this girl is so determined. When I actuallystarted the lessons it was very irritating both for me and my teacher. Most of the time we were making signs at each other and misunderstanding. I just had to remain as patient as they were. I learnt the lesson of patience through that school ...3．You hear a woman talking about her studies at the Beijing Opera School. How did she feel when she first started her classes?A．Worried about being much older than the other students.B．Disappointed because her dictionary was unhelpful.C．Annoyed by the lack of communication with her teacher.正确答案：C听力原文：Man: To be honest I sort of fell on my feet. I was doing this course in media studies which meant, you know, looking at cameras and drinking lots of coffee. And one day, we visited a television station as, like, work experience. And they were making this variety show and said they were looking for a new comedian because someone had let them down and so myself and my friend volunteered. It’s still a mystery to me why, but they liked us and so I was on live television at the age of about seventeen. We thought we were absolutely brilliant, but I’m glad to say no copy exists of those programmes.4．You hear a famous comedian talking on the radio about his early career. Why is he telling this stow?A．To show how lucky he was at the beginning.B．To show the value of a good course.C．To show that he has always been a good comedian.正确答案：A听力原文：Woman: So tell me again, what time does that train get in? I see. That’s a bit late, because I wouldn’t really have enough time to get from the station to my meeting. What about the one before that, what time does that one arrive? Yes, that sounds better. Is it necessary to book? Will you see to that for me and leave the tickets on my desk? No, on second thoughts, I’ll be at my mother’s for the weekend. Can you post them to me there? It’ll save time all round. Thanks.5．You hear someone talking on the phone. Who is she talking to?A．Someone at her office.B．Someone at a travel information centre.C．A family member.正确答案：A听力原文：Woman: I get lots of ideas for novels, but I don’t necessarily follow them all up. Only when they stick around over a period of years do I realise that a particular idea has really got a hold on me. That’s certainly what happened with my latest novel, ‘The Red Cord’. Although it’s set in my home city of Sydney, Australia,the stirrings of an idea came about ten years ago when I was travelling in China. This was followed by a long period when the idea occasionally came back into my consciousness, each time refined a little more, until I reached a point where I thought I’d better start writing.6．You hear a novelist talking about how she writes. How does she get her ideas for her novels?A．She bases her novels on personal experiences.B．Ideas come to her once she starts writing.C．She lets ideas develop gradually in her mind.正确答案：C听力原文：Sue: What do you mean, Mary, when you say, ‘I never invite friends round to my house?’ No, sorry, I can’t accept that. I invited everybody round here for a party on my last birthday, remember? I was going to cook something special for you all and then Henry and Mark insisted on taking us out to that new Japanese restaurant in town. It’s true that I accepted their offer, but I thought it would be very rude to refuse.7．You hear a woman talking to a friend on the phone. What is she doing?A．Refusing an invitation.B．Denying an accusation.C．A pologising for a mistake.正确答案：B听力原文：Man: Memories of long summer days by the sea are recalled in ‘The Last Summer’, our family drama this afternoon. The Finnish children’s writer Tova Janssen, well known for her stories about family life, wrote ‘The Last Summer’, a magical recreation of her own long childhood summers spent on an isolated island with her grandmother. There are superb performances by Moira Harmer and Alice Williams. Tune in to ‘The Last Summer’at two o’clock this afternoon and be transported to an island in a blue sea far away from the world of work.8．You hear a radio announcement about a future programme. What kind of programme is it?A．A play about a child.B．A reading from a children’s book.C．A holiday programme.正确答案：APart 2 You will hear a radio interview . For questions 9-18, complete the sentences.听力原文：Interviewer: Good morning, and today was are continuing with ourseries on careers for young people. In the studio today we have Sylvia Short, who works for a company that produces guidebooks for serious travellers. Now, Sylvia, I believe you left Essex University with a degree in German and Spanish. Tell us something about how you got your job.Sylvia: My main interest has always been travel. I spent every holiday, when I was a student, travelling abroad. After I left university I spent a year as an English teacher in Spain, followed by six months as a tour guide in Italy. When I returned to England I applied for loads of jobs advertised in the newspaper, but didn’t have any success. So I decided to make a list of every company I wanted to work for and write to them directly, rather than wait for them to advertise.Interviewer: Good advice to anyone, I think.Sylvia: Yes, and I was very lucky as the company ‘World Travel’ needed an assistant in their office in London, I dealt mainly with the post at first, just to get used to their way of doing things. Obviously, I was qualified to do more, but I wasn’t in a hurry. Then the manager’s assistant announced she was leaving after only being with the company for twelve months, and I applied for her job. The company encourages their staff to apply for higher-level jobs and I was promoted four months after joining.Interviewer: Good for you! What does the job involve?Sylvia: Well, I’ve expanded the role since I took it on. I’m in charge of all the advertising in the press whenever we publish a new guidebook and I sometimes give talks to people in the travel industry.Interviewer: Do you find the work interesting?Sylvia: Oh, yes, it’s never boring. We often get odd requests from journalists. They assume we know everything there is to know about travel so they often ring us to see if we can help them. One rang to say he was writing an article and wanted to know whether there were any female football teams in China.Interviewer: Really? And what other things do you find yourself doing?Sylvia: Oh, a large part of my job is to make sure my boss is where she should be. She does a lot of TV interviews on all aspects of travel and she also presents a radio programme about adventure holidays every Friday night. In between she writes articles and now and again comes into the office to find out what’s going on there. My job is to keep her fully informed.Interviewer: What do you think you’ve learnt from working for her?Sylvia: Oh, she’s an excellent writer and she’s helped me, especially when I have to do press releases -- she suggests changes, but she’s very encouraging, not bossy. She even suggested I did part of a chapter in a new guidebook to Great Britain on my home town, which I enjoyed a lot.Interviewer: So, how do you see your career developing?Sylvia: Well, I don’t think I’m good enough to be a full-time writer. But my boss has a lot of contacts in the TV world, and I fancy becoming a TV presenter. However, at the moment I’m enjoying my job far too much to give it up.Interviewer: Do you get to go abroad as part of your job?Sylvia: Not as often as you’d think] I do spend a lot of time doing things like answering the phone, but I did manage to go to the company’s head office in Australia last year for a conference. That was terrific.Interviewer: Sounds to me like you’ve got the perfect job, Sylvia! Next ...9．You will hear part of a radio programme in which a woman called Sylvia Short is interviewed about her job. For questions 9-18, complete the sentences. Sylvia studied and (9)______ at university. After university, Sylvia worked as a(10)______ in Italy. The company which employs Sylvia is called (11)______ Sylvia worked for the company for (12)______ before becoming the manager’s assistant. Part of Sylvia’s job is to organise the (13)______ in newspapers and magazines. Sylvia often has to deal with strange questions from (14)______ Sylvia’s boss has a radio show on Fridays on the subject of (15)______ Sylvia has written about her (16)______ for a new book on Britain. Sylvia says that in the future she would like to be a (17)______ on television. Last year, Sylvia enjoyed attending a (18)______ in Australia.正确答案：German (and) Spanish10．正确答案：(tour) guide11．正确答案：World Travel12．正确答案：4 months13．正确答案：advertising14．正确答案：journalists15．正确答案：adventure holidays16．正确答案：home town17．正确答案：presenter18．正确答案：conferencePart 3 For questions 19-23, choose from the list (A-F) which of the opinions each speaker expresses. Use the letters only once. There is one extra letter which you do not need to use.听力原文：Man: I deal with anything to do with entertainment on board, and that covers guest lecturers, cabaret artists, the show company and any special nights. I have to plan each cruise with all the performers and then introduce them at the beginning of the show. There’s never a dull moment and if I want time to myself, I have to escape to my cabin because a huge part of my job is to mix with people. There are often parties to attend ... and then, sometimes, dance nights to organize. So, if I’m not in the shows, I’ll be out there dancing with the passengers, because that’s part of my job too.You will hear five different people talking about their work on a cruise ship. For questions 19- 23, choose from the list (A-F) what each speaker says about their work. Use the letters only once. There is one extra letter which you do net need to use.A One aspect of my job is less interesting than others.B My job involves planning for the unexpected.C You have to be sociable to do my job.D I don’t like routine in my working life.E There’s not much work to do during the day.F I provide passengers with a souvenir of their trip.19．Speaker 1正确答案：C听力原文：Woman: I’m in charge of reception at the Health and Fitness Centre, so I greet passengers and organize their individual fitness programmers and beauty treatments. I wouldn’t say it was glamorous because it’s very hard work, but the rewards for me are meeting really interesting people, and the system of working, We do eight-month contracts, and once you’ve finished, it’s up to you how much time you have off. Then you renew your contract when you’re ready. I like working on a contract basis; I don’t like to feel as if I’m stuck somewhere. At home, everyone follows the same nine-to-five pattern. Here, time just has a different meaning.20．Speaker 2正确答案：A听力原文：Man: I’m responsible for the safety of the passengers. That means that, apart from keeping an eye on things on a day-to-day basis, I have to make sure that passengers can be safely evacuated if there’s an emergency. So, 1 do a lot of staff training, to make sure each member of staff knows exactly what to do if there’s a problem ... and, of course, we do emergency drills with the passengers. In theory, I’m on call for twenty-four hours a day, but, in fact, I’m generally on duty for aboutfifteen so I do get the chance to socialise a bit too. When we’re in port, though, I get the whole time off.21．Speaker 3正确答案：D听力原文：Woman: There are six photographers here, and we take photos of passengers in various locations on the ship. My main role, though, is to develop and print all the passenger film so I’m less in evidence socially. We don’t have set hours because every cruise programmed is different and, because I print the photos, I frequently carry on working until six in the morning -- getting them ready for the next day. It’s quite exciting. People like having their pictures taken with the captain, and we also do quite a few shots in the restaurant and on party nights, but -- generally -- people come to us with their own requests.22．Speaker 4正确答案：F听力原文：Man: I’m in charge of all the restaurants on board. So, menus, castings and the quality of food, plus any staff issues --it’s all down to me, 1 love all that even if the paperwork and accounts can be a bit dull sometimes. But I’ve worked for this company for nearly 24 years, and I haven’t regretted it for one minute. Even though we can’t choose where we go, we can put in requests for certain cruises. So, normally, I do four months away and then two months’ leave. Where else could you get a job like that and get paid for it? You miss your friends and family, but you don’t get time to think about it.23．Speaker 5正确答案：EPart 4 You will hear a radio interview . For questions 24-30, choose the best answer (A, B or C).听力原文：Interviewer: My guest today is Douglas Turner, who recently spent a weekend climbing a mountain in Africa. Douglas, how did this come about?Douglas: Well, I suppose it started with seeing adverts for activity holidays in the national press week after week; it somehow got into my subconscious. Then there was one which said, ‘Are you ready for the greatest physical challenge of your life? 5,000 metres. One weekend’, and somewhat against my better judgement, I found myself picking up the phone straight away. You see, I simply hadn’t trained for it, the nearest I’d got was a bit of hill-walking five years ago.Interviewer: What did you think you would get out of the weekend?Douglas: Generally when I go to things I enjoy meeting people, but in this case I was afraid the rest of the group would be a bunch of healthy types, and I wouldn’t have much in common with them. And as for the physical effort ofclimbing the mountain, I thought I’d be lucky if I survived the weekend at all! It was more a kind of wanting to see what I was mentally capable of doing, would I get cold feet and not go at all, or go, but give up halfway up, that sort of thing.Interviewer: But you made it to the top.Douglas: Yes, I did. Much to my surprise, I can tell you.Interviewer: And were you right about the other people?Douglas: No, actually. There were a few serious walkers and climbers, but most of the participants were professional people who wanted to do something ,quite different once in a while, more or less like me, in fact. So not intimidating after all. Though I have to admit that nearly all of them were fleer than me. Actually I hadn’t realised so many people did this sort of thing. It was funny, when I told a friend that I was going, she said, ‘Oh, not another one. Everyone I know’s going climbing this year. There’s a big thing about pushing yourself to your limit at the moment, isn’t there? You’re welcome to it,’ she said. ‘You won’t catch me up there.’Interviewer: How did you all get on together?Douglas: I suppose we were a bit suspicious of each other at first, but that soon went, and we somehow developed a really close group feeling, and nobody complained about having to wait for the slow ones, which usually included me. Or at least, if they did complain, they did it out of earshot. In fact, on the flight home we were busy exchanging cards and decided to book another weekend trip as a party-- but without a mountain in sight this time.Interviewer: Se how did the weekend compare with your expectations?Douglas: It was much better than I’d expected. It made me change, in subtle ways. As I’d hoped, I gained in self-knowledge, and I learnt to get on with people I couldn’t escape from, but I also became much more observant, of the tiny little wild flowers, for instance, and that was quite a bonus.Interviewer: I suppose you’re going to be a regular mountain climber now.Douglas: The pair of boots I wore, I’m keeping with the mud still on them, on my desk at work. They’re a kind of trophy, to prove to myself that rve done it. But I somehow don’t think I’ll be using them again. I’m going to have to put them somewhere less visible, though, because it’s sometimes a bit embarrassing when other people are impressed.Interviewer: Douglas Turner, thank you very much.Douglas: Thank you.24．How did Douglas feel when he booked the weekend?A．sure that he would enjoy training for itB．uncertain if it was a good idea for himC．surprised that such activities were organised正确答案：B25．Douglas expected that the experience would help him toA．meet people with similar interests.B．improve his physical fitness.C．discover his psychological limits.正确答案：C26．He was surprised that the other participantsA．were there for reasons like his.B．were experienced climbers.C．were in better condition than him.正确答案：A27．What did one of his friends say to him?A．He was making a mistake.B．Climbing was fashionable.C．She was envious of him.正确答案：B28．What did the people plan at the end of the trip?A．to send each other postcardsB．to take a different sort of trip togetherC．to go on another climbing trip together正确答案：B29．In what way did Douglas change as a result of the trip? A．He developed more interest in people.B．He became more ambitious.C．He began to notice more things around him.正确答案：C30．Douglas’s boots are still muddy because he wants them to A．remind him of what he has achieved.B．warn him not to do it again.C．show other people what he has done.正确答案：A。

北京成人三级英语真题及答案

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试真题(A卷)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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage1Questions1to5are based on the following passage: According to a recent survey,employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in1979.They also take shorter vacations than employees in1979.It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before.Or are they?A management consultant.Bill Meyer,decided to find out.For three days,he observed an investment banker hard at work.Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period,Meyer reviewed the banker's activities with him.What did they find out?They discovered that the man spent80percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example,he attended unnecessary meetings,made redundant (多余的)telephone calls,and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76)Apparently,many people believe that the more time a person spends at work,the more he or she accomplishes.When employers evaluate employees,they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance.Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular40-hour work week,they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters(猪头)were asked their opinion about a situation.They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company.The candidates had similar qualifications for the job.For example,they were both reliable.One could do the job well in a40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an80-hour work week just as well.According to a headhunting expert,the80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job.The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too.Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However,the connection between time and productivity(生产率)is not always positive.(77)In fact,many studies indicate that after a certain point,anyone's productivity and creativity begin to decrease.Some employees are not willingto spend so much extra,unproductive time at the office.Once they finish their work satisfactorily,they want to relax and enjoy themselves.For these people,the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1.What is the main idea of this passage?A.Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B.Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C.Most Americans work80hours a week,and some work even longer.D.People can make more money by working longer hours.2.The management consultant wanted to find out______.A.how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB.when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC.if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD.whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The more time a person spends at work,the more he or she accomplishes.B.Employers do not judge their employees'job performanceaccording to the amount of working time.C.Some people work more than40hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D.All employees are willing to spend extra time at work.4.The80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe______.A.that he is more reliableB.his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC.he has better qualificationsD.he could encourage other employees to do a better job5.The expression“to do both”in the last paragraph is______.A.to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB.to pay attention to both performance and productivityC.to work long hours and have short vacationsD.to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequently Passage2Questions6to10are based on the following passage:Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger.Not all will be saved,and perhaps not all deserve to be saved.There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses.We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutionsthat deserve to continue are threatened.They are doing a fine job educationally,but they are caught in a financial difficulty,with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues(收入)significantly.Raising fees doesn't bring in more revenue,for each time fees go up,the enrollment(注册人数)goes down,or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up.(78)Schools are bad businesses,whether public or private,not usually because of bad management but because of the nature of the business.They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students.Even a very good college is a very bad business. It is such colleges,thriving but threatened,that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem.Even with full enrollments,they may go under.Efforts to save them,and preferably to keep them private,are a national necessity.(79) There is no basis for arguing that private schools are bound to be better than public schools.There are plentiful examples to the contrary.Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity(多样性)is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education.In an imperfectsociety such as ours,uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous.In an imperfect society,diversity is a positive good.Eager supporters of public higher education know the importance of keeping private higher education healthy.6.In the passage,the author asks the public to support_____.A.private higher education in generalB.public higher education in generalC.high-quality private universities and collegesD.high-quality state universities and colleges7.According to the passage,schools are bad businesses because of____.A.the nature of schoolB.poor teachersC.bad managementD.too few students8.The phrase“go under”in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to_____.A.have low feesB.get into difficultiesC.do a bad job educationallyD.have low teaching standards9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.There are many cases indicating that private schools are superior to public schools.B.The author thinks diversity of education is preferable touniformity of education.C.A high-quality university is always a good business.D.Each time fees are raised,the enrollment goes up.10.In the author's opinion,the way that can save private schools lies in____.A.full enrollmentB.raising feesC.reducing student aidD.national support Passage3Questions11to15are based on the following passage:The fourth-graders at Chicago's McCormick Elementary School don't know Chinese is supposed to be hard to learn.For most, who speak Spanish at home,it's becoming their third language. They've been hearing and using Chinese words since nursery,and it's natural to give a"ni hao"when strangers enter the classroom,“It's really fun!”says Miranda Lucas,taking a break from a lesson that includes a Chinese interview with Jackie Chan.“I'm teaching my mom to speak Chinese.”The classroom scene at McCormick is unusual,but it may soon be a common phenomenon in American schools,where Chinese is rapidly becoming the hot new ernment officials have long wanted more focus on useful languages like Chinese, and pressure from them—as well as from business leaders, politicians,and parents—has produced a quick growth in thenumber of programs.Chicago city officials make their best effort to include Chinese in their public schools.Their program has grown to include3,000students in20schools,with more schools on a waiting list.Programs have also spread to places like Los Angeles,New York City,and North Carolina.Supporters see knowledge of the Chinese language and culture as an advantage in a global economy where China is growing in importance.“This is an interesting way to begin to engage with the world's next superpower,”says Michael Levine,director of education at the Asia Society,which has started five new public high schools that offer Chinese.“Globalization has already changed the arrangements in terms of how children today are going to think about their careers.The question is when,not whether,the schools are going to adjust”(80)The number of students learning Chinese is tiny compared with how many study Spanish or French.But one report shows that before-college enrollment(报名人数)nearly quadrupled between1992and2002,from6,000to24,000.Despite the demand, though,developing programs isn't easy.And the No.one difficulty,everyone agrees,is having enough teachers.

11月成人英语三级考试：北京学学位英语试题解析

11月成人英语三级考试：北京学学位英语试题解析第一篇阅读一、文章大意与结构分析这篇文章主要介绍了以弗里德曼为首的科学家们对咖啡和人体健康之间的关系展开的研究，并总结了该研究的意义。

一直以来，科学家一直在研究咖啡是否对人体有益。

但是研究结果却不是那么明确的，有的证据显示咖啡有害处，另一些证据显示它对人体有益。

弗里德曼的研究并没有得出咖啡能够使人长寿的结论，但是却为其他研究人员的进一步研究指引了方向。

二、试题解析1.【答案】D。

细节题。

由题干可以定位到第一段。

根据第一段It seems journalists are pretty interested in wine research and the same might be said for coffee.。

可知新闻工作者们（journalists），即题干中的reporters Grimm，对酒（wine）和咖啡（coffee）的研究感兴趣，选项中只有coffee，因此选择D。

2. 【答案】C。

细节题。

根据第二段They analyzed data collected frommore than 400,000 Americans ages 50 to 71 participating in the study，可知选项C正确，故为答案。

3. 【答案】C。

细节题。

根据第三段的A study like this can never prove a cause-and-effect relationship. All it can really do is to point researchers in the right direction for further investigation.可知弗里德曼的研究已经得出不能证明a cause-and-effect relationship的结论，以后科学家们可以避免用这种方法研究咖啡，所以选项C为答案。

While it provides us with opportunities to connect with others and share our thoughts and experiences, it also has a significant impact on society as a whole. One major effect of social media is its influence on our mental health. Studies have shown that excessive use of social media can lead to feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Furthermore, the constant comparison to others' seemingly perfect lives can contribute to low self-esteem and insecurity.Additionally, social media has transformed the way we communicate and interact with one another. While it has made it easier to stay in touch with friends and family, it has also led to a decrease in face-to-face interactions. This can have negative consequences on our relationships and social skills. Moreover, the spread of fake news and misinformation on social media can have a detrimental impact on society, leading to division and polarization.In conclusion, while social media has its benefits, it is important to acknowledge its drawbacks and take steps to mitigate its negative effects. By being mindful of our socialmedia usage and promoting positive online communities, we can create a healthier and more connected society.Overall, the 2024 English Level Three exam is designed to test students' reading comprehension and writing abilities, as well as their critical thinking skills. The exam covers a range of topics, from technology and mental health to social media and society. By preparing thoroughly and practicing regularly, students can improve their English skills and succeed in the exam. Good luck!。

2015-11-07北京地区成人学士学位英语考试试题I. Reading comprehensionPassage 1Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数).That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protestglobalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) (76)No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of pea ceful globalization.1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very deanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McDonald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.5. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 2Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区）that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76)He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also anOlympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball team. (77) The team paid him only $15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U. S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events, including the long jump and the 1,500-meter race. The decathlon hasten track and field and filed events, with running, jumping, and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.”Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”6. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in ______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden7. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT _____.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing8. Jim Thorpe started to play sports _____.A. before he was nine years old.B. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away9. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events10. Which of the flowing is NOT TRUE?A. In 1912, Thorpe went back to finish his college education.B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. Passage 3It can be really frustrating(使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are , well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering(迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by ded icating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommended functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no mirrors, and tinted(有色的) windows for privacy, are all important changes.(80) Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future.
