2009年4月成人英语三级考试模拟题A卷及答案
2009年4月成人英语三级考试模拟题A卷及答案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, however, I still hadn\'t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn\'t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? （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, and anyone 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 world\'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 many 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 part 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 ⅡVocabulary 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.

Paintings by Ruby, an Asian elephant who lived at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, sold for up to $5,000 in the late 1980s, said Dick George, a consultant with the zoo. "Ruby was about seven months old when she first came to the zoo", said George. "She lived with a goat and some chickens, but she didn"t have an elephant companion for a number ofyears. She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her days more stimulating. Her keeper bought her some art supplies". George said, ", Ruby was excited about painting right from the beginning". The elephants at the art academies in the Southeast Asia are taught to hold a paintbrush with the tip of their trunks. Initially, the keeper guides the elephant"s trunk over the canvas(画布) and offers rewards for good performance. "It only takes a few hours to a day to teach them", said Mia Fineman, an art historian whose book When Elephants Paint is an illustrated history of the Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project.第11题Ruby was an Asian elephant ______.A.who was sold for a price as high as $5,000B.who was famous for being the first painting elephantC.whose paintings sold for as high as $5,000D.who started painting in the late 1980s第12题Why did Ruby start painting according to Dick George?A.Because she was seven years old.B.Because she was the first to come to the zoo.C.Because she learned a lot from the goat and the chickens.D.Because she had no elephant partners to play with.第13题How did Ruby paint at the very beginning?A.She used a stick to draw in the dirt.B.She spent much time in the dirt.C.She stimulated herself every day.D.She painted with her keeper"s art supplies.第14题To encourage the elephants to paint well, the keeperA.bought them a lot of art suppliesB.made them excited at the beginningC.taught them to hold a paintbrush with their trunksD.reinforced the desired behaviors with rewards第15题When Elephants Paint is a book ______.A.on the history of artsB.about the painting elephants in AsiaC.explaining how to teach elephants to paintD.chiefly theorizing about elephant art上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解While it is true that Americans believe climbing the educational ladder leads to success, they are less certain that intellectual achievement is the only important factor leading to success. A competitive personality is seen as important to success, especially in men. The development of social and political skills is also considered to be very important. To help Americans develop these other important skills, schools have added a large number of extracurricular(课程外)activities to daily life at school. This is especially tree of high schools and colleges and extends down into elementary schools as well. Athletics, frequently called "competitive sports", are perhaps the most important of these activities. Football, basketball, and baseball teams are seen as very important in teaching students, particularly boys, the "winning spirit". At times, athletic teams seem to become more important to some students and their parents than the academic programs offered by the schools.第16题Americans believe that education is ______.A.the only way to successB.the main purpose of the schoolsC.just like climbing laddersD.important to success第17题Which of the following is NOT mentioned as important to success?A.intellectual achievementpetitive personalityC.social backgroundsD.social and political skills第18题A variety of extracurricular activities are added in American schools ______.A.to help students climb the education ladderB.to enrich students" dull life at schoolC.to help students become more successful in later lifeD.to extend college education down into elementary schools第19题Athletic activities are designed ______.A.to make boys strongerB.to teach students winning spiritC.to develop students" social and political skillsD.to improve the academic programs第20题Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?cation and SuccessB.Extracurricular Activities at SchoolC.Athletic SportsD.Intellectual Achievement上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that "canals"—perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars—are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed. Another fragmented idea concerns the planet"s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are nowknown to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.第21题Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A.Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B.Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C.Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D.Because it was the Martians that built the canals.第22题The "canals" on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface第23题What were the Mars" seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.第24题How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A.The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B.A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C.The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D.The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.第25题How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)阅读理解Weather Forecast The following forecast shows for the listed cities the projected weather conditions and the expected range of temperatures from the afternoon high to the evening low. 图片第26题According to the forecast, ______.A.Kansas City will be warmer than TorontoB.temperatures will be the lowest in Seattle and MinneapolisC.the weather will be fine in most of the listed citiesD.more than half of the listed cities ore cloudy or rain likely第27题Among the following four cities, the difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is smallest in ______.A.Kansas CityB.MiamiC.AtlantaD.Seattle第28题Which of the following cities is closest m Miami in weather conditions?A.BostonB.AtlantaC.WashingtonD.Houston第29题The difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is greatest in ______.A.SeattleB.Los Angeless VegasD.Phoenix第30题The differences between the afternoon high and the evening low are the same in ______.A.Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and St. LouisB.Atlanta, San Francisco, New Orleans, and SeattleC.Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington,D.C.D.Pittsburg, Miami, Houston, and Boston上一题下一题(31~40/共10题)完型填空How much sleep does a person need?【B1】the physiological bases of the need for sleep remain conjectural(猜想), rendering conclusive answers to this question impossible, much evidence has been gathered on how much sleep people do in fact obtain. Perhaps the most important conclusion to be【B2】from this evidence is【B3】there is great variability among individuals in total sleep time. For adults,【B4】between six and nine hours of sleep as a nightly average is not unusual, and 7.5 hours probably best expresses the norm. Such norms, of course, forms inevitably vary with the criteria of sleep employed. The most【B5】and reliable figures on sleep time, including those cited here, come from studies in sleep laboratories, where EEG criteria are employed. 【B6】consistently has been associated with the varying amount, quality, and pattern of electrophysiologically defined sleep. The newborn infant may spend an average of about 16 hours of each 24-hour period in sleep,【B7】the sleep time drops sharply; by two years of age, it may【B8】from nine to 12 hours. Decreases to approximately six hours have been observed among the elderly. 【B9】will be discussed from below, EEG sleep studies haveindicated that sleep can be considered to consist of several different stages.

For each of them，there are four choices marked A，B，C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Happy hours are not necessarily happy, nor do they last for an hour, but they have become a part of the ritual of the office worker and businessman.On weekdays in pubs and bars throughout America, there is the late afternoon happy hour.The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven. After the workday is finished, office workers in large cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and do not go directly home. They head off instead for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, co-workers and colleagues. Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessmen and secretaries, office clerks and stock executives. They gather around the bar like birds around a fountain or forest animals around a watering hole and chat about the trifles of office life or matters more personal. This is their desert garden, the place to relieve the day’s stress at the office.At these happy hours, social binding occurs between people who share the same workplace or similar professions. They may chat about each other or talk about a planned project that has yet to meet a deadline. In this sense, these places become extensions of the workplace and constitute a good portion of one’s social life.11、For office workers and businessmen the happy hour is their_______ .A、professional requirementB、regular practiceC、refreshing breakD、unpaid work12、Happy hours are held because office workers need to _______ .A、have a good rest after workB、stay away from household workC、make new friendsD、celebrate their achievements13、The phrase “filled to capacity”in paragraph 2 means the pub is ______.A、too crowdedB、rather entertainingC、completely fullD、very noisy14、Happy hours contribute to office workers’ _____.A、cooperation in societyB、promotion in their companyC、connection in societyD、loyalty to their company15、Which of the following statements is NOT true?A、The happy hour is a social gathering in America.B、People avoid talking about work at happy hours.C、Happy hours are held on weekdays only.D、People exchange work experiences at happy hours.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Lazy? Shy? Live in a cave? Those might not be positive attributes for the average human, but they sure are good for animals trying to survive in a changing environment. According to a new study, beasts that hibernate (冬眠) or crawl into holes are less likely to be listed as endangered than those that don’t.Following up a previous study on extinct animals, which showed that species exhibiting “sleep or hide”(SLOH) behaviors did better than others, the researchers wanted to see if the same was true of modem creatures like moles and bears. To find out if our more timid animals have a leg up in the survival game, researchers made a master list of 443 sleep-or-hide mammals.With their list in hand, the team compared their 443 to the “red list”of endangered species published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. As suspected, a sleepy or hiding animal was less likely to be on the red list than a regular animal, and a red-list animal was also less likely to be a SLOH-er.This makes a lot of sense, as animals that hide away in a cave or a tree hole are protected by theirphysical shelters from a variable environment outside, while hibernators enjoy a flexible metabolism (新陈代谢) that can help them adapt to a changing climate.16、On the list of extinct animals studied, there were________.A、fewer SLOH-ers than regular animalsB、more SLOH-ers than expectedC、as many SLOH-ers as regular animalsD、hardly any SLOH-ers17、The phrase “a leg up”in Paragraph 2 probably means “_________”.A、an instinctB、an advantageC、a fightD、a chance18、The study of modern creatures__________.A、is unrelated to the study of extinct animalsB、finds evidence missing in the study of extinct animalsC、has findings similar to those of the study of extinct animalsD、reveals a different pattern from the study of extinct animals19、According to the passage, red-list animals are more likely to _________.A、be lazyB、be timidC、live longD、sleep less20、In the last paragraph the author________.A、compares the behaviors of sleepers and hidersB、offers an explanation for the survival of sleepers and hidersC、analyzes how a changing environment affects SLOH-ersD、emphasizes what can be learned from SLOH-ersQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:In computing, passwords are commonly used to limit access to official users. Yet the widespread use of passwords has serious drawbacks. Office workers now have to remember an average of twelve system passwords. In theory they should use different passwords for each site, but in reality these would be impossible to remember, so many people use the same password for all.An additional problem is that the majority use simple words such as “hello”, or names of family members, instead of more secure combinations of numbers and letters, such as 6ANV76Y.This permits computer hackers to download dictionaries and quickly find the word that allows them access.When system users forget their passwords there is extra expense in supplying new ones, while if people are forced to change passwords frequently they often write them down, making systems even less secure. Therefore, it is clear that the idea of passwords, which have been used as security devices for thousands of years, may need rethinking.One possible alternative has been developed by the American firm Real User, and is called “Passfaces”. In order to access the system a worker has to select a series of photographs of faces from a randomly (随机地) generated sequence. If the pictures are selected in the correct order, access is granted. This concept depends on the human ability to recognize and remember a huge number of different faces, and the advantage is that such a sequence cannot be told to anyone or written down, so is more secure. It is claimed that the picture sequence, which used photographs of university students, is easier to remember than passwords, and it has now been adopted for theUnited States Senate.21、What is the disadvantage of passwords as mentioned in Paragraph 1?A、They do not ensure security.B、They are difficult to remember.C、They have to be changed frequently.D、They limit computer accessibility.22、One can make a password safer by ________.A、inserting pictures between numbersB、avoiding the use of letters altogetherC、setting up a firewall against computer hackersD、using complicated combinations of numbers and letters23、“Passfaces”is a method to get access to a system through_________.A、remembering a large number of facesB、selecting photographs of faces one likesC、recognizing a sequence of face picturesD、showing one’s face in front of the computer24、One advantage of “Passfaces”over a password is that________.A、it is easier to rememberB、it is more complicatedC、it takes less time to log inD、it allows one to write less25、What does the author think of the password?A、It is an old system that needs improvement.B、It provides as much security as before.C、It should be abandoned by computer users.D、It has developed to an advanced stage.26、Which of the following might be a proper title for the chart?A、FedEx Freight Measurements and MethodsB、FedEx Shipment Regulations in US and Other CountriesC、FedEx International Freight Customer Service GuideD、FedEx Express Freight and Air Cargo Service Restrictions27、What’s the minimum weight a shipment must reach in order to be transported by air?A、No restrictions.B、68kg.C、122kg.D、997kg.28、If you need to ship something 300cm long within US, which service can you choose?A、Shipment in less than 1 day.B、Shipment in 1 or 2 days.C、Shipment in 3 days.D、Shipment in more than 3 days.29、What does “girth”possibly mean?A、Measurement around an object.B、Measurement of object weight.C、Formula to calculate object width.D、Formula to calculate object length.30、FedEx services have different restrictions on the goods’_______.A、maximum weight per pieceB、maximum length plus girth per pieceC、maximum length per pieceD、maximum height per piecePart Three ClozeDirections：There are ten blanks in the following passage．For each numbered blank, there are four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANS WER SHEET with a single line through the center．Fueled by weather, wind, and dry undergrowth, uncontrolled wildfires can burn acres of land—and consume everything in their way—in mere minutes.31, more than 100,000 wildfires clear 4 million to 5 million acres of land in the U.S. every year. A wildfire moves at speeds of up to 23 kilometers an hour, consuming everything-trees, bushes, homes, even humans-in its 32.There are three conditions that need to be 33 in order for a wildfire to burn: fuel, oxygen, and a heat source. Fuel is any material 34 a fire that will burn quickly and easily, including trees, grasses, bushes, even homes. Air supplies the oxygen a fire 35 to burn. Heat sources help spark the wildfire and bring fuel to 36 hot enough to start burning. Lightning, burning campfires or cigarettes, hot winds, and even the sun can all provide 37 heat to spark a wildfire.38 often harmful and destructive to humans, naturally occurring wildfires play a positive role in nature. They 39 nutrients to the soil by burning dead or decaying matter. They remove diseased plants and harmful insects from a forest ecosystem (生态系统). And by burning 40 thick trees and bushes, wildfires allow sunlight to reach the forest floor, enabling a new generation of young plants to grow.31、A、After all B、Above all C、In sum D、On average32、A、route B、track C、path D、trace33、A、stable B、present C、fixed D、favorable34、A、surrounding B、keeping C、causing D、making35、A、acquires B、needs C、captures D、meets36、A、materials B、places C、temperatures D、conditions37、A、additional B、excessive C、plentiful D、sufficient38、A、Although B、As C、If D、Whereas39、A、drive B、reduce C、return D、assign40、A、over B、through C、below D、beyondPart Four Dialogue CompletionDirections：In this part，there are ten short incomplete dialogues between two speakers，each followed by four choices marked A，B，C and D．Choose the one that most appropriately suits the conversational context and best completes the dialogue．Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center．41、Speaker A: Hi, My name is Mark.

Those might not be positive attributes for the average human, but they sure are good for animals trying to survive in a changing environment.According to a new study, beasts that hibernate(冬眠)or crawl into holes are less likely to be listed as endangered than those that don't.Following up a previous study on extinct animals, which showed that species exhibiting “sleep or hide”(SLOH)behaviors did better than others, the researchers wanted to see if the same was true of modern creatures like moles and bears.To find out if our more timid animals have a leg up in the survival game, researchers made a master list of 443 sleep-or-hide mammals.With their list in hand, the team compared their 443 to the “red list” of endangered species published by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.As suspected, a sleepy or hiding animal was less likely to be on the red list than a regular animal, and a red-list animal was also less likely to be a SLOH-er.This makes a lot of sense, as animals that hide away in a cave or a tree hole areprotected by their physical shelters from a variable environment outside, while hibernators enjoy a flexible metabolism(新陈代谢)that can help them adapt to a changing climate.16.On the list of extinct animals studied, there were _____________.A.fewer SLOH-ers than regular animals B.more SLOH-ers than expected C.as many SLOH-ers as regular animals D.hardly any SLOH-ers 17.The phrase “a leg up” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.A.an instinct B.an advantage C.a fight D.a chance 18.The study of modem creatures ___________.A.is unrelated to the study of extinct animals B.finds evidence missing in the study of extinct animals C.has findings similar to those of the study of extinct animals D.reveals a different pattern from the study of extinct animals 19.According to the passage, red-list animals are more likely to ____________.A.be lazy B.be timid C.live long D.sleep less 20.In the last paragraph the author ____________pares the behaviors of sleepers and hiders B.offers an explanation for the survival of sleepers and hiders C.analyzes how a changing environment affects SLOH-ers D.emphasizes what can be learned from SLOH-ers Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage: In computing, passwords are commonly used to limit access to official users.Yet the widespread use of passwords has serious drawbacks.Office workers now have to remember an average of twelve system passwords.In theory they should use different passwords for each site, but in reality these would be impossible to remember, so many people use the same password for all.An additional problem is that the majority use simple words such as “hello”, or names of family members, i nstead of more secure combinations of numbers and letters, such as 6ANV76Y.This permits computer hackers to download dictionaries and quickly find the word that allows themaccess.When system users forget their passwords there is extra expense in supplying new ones, while if people are forced to change passwords frequently they often write them down, making systems even less secure.Therefore, it is clear that the idea of passwords, which have been used as security devices for thousands of years, may need rethinking.One possible alternative has been developed by the American firm Real User, and is called “passfaces”.In order to access the system a worker has to select a series of photographs of faces from a randomly(随机地)generated sequence.If the pictures are selected in the correct order, access is granted.This concept depends on the human ability to recognize and remember a huge number of different faces, and the advantage is that such a sequence cannot be told to anyone or written down, so is more secure.It is claimed that the picture sequence, which used photographs of university students, is easier to remember than passwords, and it has now been adopted for the United States Senate.21.What is the disadvantage of passwords as mentioned in Paragraph 1 ? A.They do not ensure security.B.They are difficult to remember.C.They have to be changed frequently.D.They limit computer accessibility.22.One can make a password safer by _____________.A.inserting pictures between numbers B.avoiding the use of letters altogether C.setting up a firewall against computer hackers ing complicated combinations of numbers and letters 23.“Passfaces” is a method to get access to a system through ___________.A.remembering a large number of faces B.selecting photographs of faces one likes C.recognizing a sequence of face pictures D.showing one's face in front of the computer 24.One advantage of “Passfaces” over a password is that ____________.A.it is easier to remember B.it is morecomplicated C.it takes less time to log in D.it allows one to write less 25.What does the author think of the password? A.R is an old system that needs improvement.B.It provides as much security as before.C.R should be abandoned by computer users.D.It has developed to an advanced stage.Questions 26-30 are based on the following chart: FedEx Service Restrictions U.S.EXPRESS FREIGHT INTERNATIONAL EXPRESS FREIGHT INTERNATIONAL AIR CARGO 1 or 2 Day Freight 3 Day Freight International Priority Freight or Economy Freight International Premium or Express Freight International Airport to Airport Minimum weight per piece or shipment 68kg 68kg 68kg No minimum restrictions No minimum restrictions Maximum weight per piece 997kg 997kg 997kg 997kg 997kg Maximum length Plus girth per piece 762cm 762cm 762cm 762cm 762cm Maximum length per piece 302cm 302cm 302cm 302cm 302cm Maximum height per piece 178cm 178cm 178cm 178cm 178cm26.Which of the following might be a proper title for the chart?

Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:Happy hours are not necessarily happy, nor do they last for an hour, but they have become a part of the ritual of the office worker and businessman.On weekdays in pubs and bars throughout America, there is the late afternoon happy hour. The time may vary from place to place, but usually it is held from four to seven. After the workday is finished, office workers in large cities and small towns take a relaxing pause and do not go directly home. They head off instead for the nearest bar or pub to be with friends, co-workers and colleagues. Within minutes the pub is filled to capacity with businessmen and secretaries, office clerks and stock executives. They gather around the bar like birds around a fountain or forest animals around a watering hole and chat about the trifles of office life or matters more personal. This is their desert garden, the place to relieve the day's stress at the office.At these happy hours, social binding occurs between people who share the same workplace or similar professions. They may chat about each other or talk about a planned project that has yet to meet a deadline. In this sense, these places become extensions of the workplace and constitute a good portion of one's social life.11.

It is everybody’s duty to work hard and reach this goal.However, not everybody has realized the importance of it. Take our school for example. Sometimes we can see that lights and computers are still on after class. Some students even forgetto turn off the tap after using it and have water running all the time. Our papers are printed on only one side, causing much waste.It’s time we did something to avoid this kind of waste. Firstly, make sure that all the lights and other electric facilities are turned off when we leave the rooms. Try to form the habit of turning off the tap immediately after using it. What’s more, papers should be printed on both sides and reused if possible.In a word, if everybody has the awareness of reducing the waste and takes action, we can contribute to our society.Students’ Union_Students’ Union第二节开放作文（15分）请根据下面的提示，写一篇短文。

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:China is already the world? s third largest producer of electronics, and becoming a player in the global appliance market. Twenty years ago, U.S., European and Japanese compa?nies started moving into China to supply the local market with household goods. Now those same companies are get?ting whipped by Chinese competitors. Over the past six years, the market share of foreign TV makers in China has dropped from 70 percent to less than 20 percent. Matsushita opened the first microwave-oven plant in China in 1995. Two years later the Chinese compa?ny Galanz started making microwaves and selling them for half Matsushita? s price.Chinese companies now make more than 43 million TVs yearly. Konka, one of China? s largest TV makers, sells its branded TVs in the United States, and has set up factories in Mexico to service the American market; While TCL, anoth?er major TV maker, exported 11 million units from its Chinese factories last year. It has more Southeast Asian fac?tories than any other Chinese company.11. This passage is primarily concerned withA. the world? s third largest producer of electronicsB.

Which of the following produces more TV sets?A. GalanzB. KonkaC. TCLD. UnknownQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the crossing. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children. For perception is the mind? s explanation of what the senses --- in this case, our eyes --- tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to decide just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific method, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.16. Seeing and perceiving are ____________.A. the same actionB. two actions carried on entirely by the eyesC. two separate actionsD. several actions that take place at different time17. Perceiving is an action that takes place ______________.A. in our eyesB. only when we think very hard about somethingC. only under the direction of a psychologistD. in every person? s mind18. People perceive different things about the same scene because _________.A. they come from different countriesB. they can? t agree about thingsC. some have better eyesightD. none of these19. Psychologists study perception by _________.A. setting up many experimentsB. asking each other what they seeC. looking out of the windowD. studying people? s eyes20. The best title for this passage is _________.A. How He SeesB. Learning about Our Minds Through SciencesC. What Psychologists PerceiveD. How to Become an Experimental PsychologistQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Not all heroes are to be found in the army. Some of them are to be found in other fields of life.Early in this century, a group of doctors was trying to discover the cause of the dangerous disease called yellow fever. At that time it was one of the worst diseases known, thousands of people were dying of it every year.It had been suggested that the disease was caused by the bite of a certain mosquito. That is, it was thought that a certain kind of mosquito would bite a person ill with yellow fever and then, flying elsewhere, bite another person and give him the disease.To prove whether or not this was true, one of the doctors, Dr. James Carroll, allowed such a mosquito to bite him after it had bitten a yellow fever patient. He knew that the bite of this mosquito might cause his death, but he made the trial.Dr. Carroll became very ill with yellow fever but finally recovered. The risk this hero took, however, helped to save the lives of many thousands of people. He had proved that yellow fever is carried by a mosquito.21. What is the article about as a whole?A. A good family doctorB. A man who studied the mosquitoC. A man who knew diseasesD. A man who risked his life to help others22. The word “recovered” means _________.A. covered something againB. uncoveredC. got back to the state of healthD. discovered the cause of yellow feverA. to find how the mosquito bite peopleB. to find the cause of yellow feverC. to show he had a good healthD. to prove he could resist yellow fever24. According to the passage, James was interested in ________.A. making lots of moneyB. finding people who had yellow feverC. saving people? s livesD. find clothes and food25. Which of the following is true?A. Dr. Carroll was the only doctor hunting the cause of yellow fever.B. Dr. Carroll must have been a very brave man.C. Yellow fever was caused by the bite of a mouse.D. All real heroes are found in the army.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization? s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism , and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum.Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really”are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing, like St. Paul? s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.”Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated western thought for two thousand years, believe that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning form self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that? s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that? s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment that now forms the basis of scientific investigation.26. The aim of controlled scientific experiments is ____.A. to explain why things happenB. to explain how things happenC. to describe self-evident principlesD. to support Aristotelian science27. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?A. The speculations of Thales.B. The forces of electricity, magnetism , land gravity.C.Aristotle? s natural science.D.Galileo? s discoveries.28. Bertrand Russell? s notion about electricity is ____.A. disapproved of by most modern scientistsB. in agreement with Aristotle? s theory of self-evident principlesC. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how” things happenD. in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why” things happen29. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea ____.A. that there are mysterious forces in the universeB. that man cannot discover what forces “really ” areC. that there are self-evident principlesD. that we can discover why things behave as they do30. Modern science came into being ____.A. when the method of controlled experiment was first introducedB. when Galileo succeeded in explaining: how things happenC. when Aristotelian scientists tried to explain why things happenD. when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality by reasoning Part Three ClozeFor each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.The first and smallest unit that can be discussed in relation to language is the word.

09年高考全国各地英语试题三模考试题选编--阅读理解
一、09年北京市101中学高三三模（英语）阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，共40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
AMy grandfather worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates （木箱）for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the crates. His new glasses were heading for Brazil!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“It’s not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “I’ve been very faithful in giving my time and money to my work, and now th is.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago.He began by thanking the people for their kindness in supp orting the orphanage. “But most of all, he said,” I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were very worried about this. Then your crates arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”He paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, he continued: “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.56．We know from the text that .A．the author’s grandfather got his glasses back from the director of the orphanageB．the author’s grandfather found that his glasses were at home at lastC．the author’s grandfather’s burden of supporting his famil y was very heavyD．the author’s grandfather worked as a carpenter in a school in Chicago57．From the text we can infer that the author’s grandfather was very after hearing what the director of the orphanage had said.A．surprised B．disappointed C．pitiful D．proud58．The underlined word “miraculous” （Paragraph 7）can be replaced by .A．practical B．wonderful C．necessary D．important59．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Perfect Mistake B．An Ordinary CarpenterC．A Careless Old Man D．A Pair of GlassesBWashoe, a female chimpanzee （黑猩猩）believed to be the first non-human to acquire human language, has died of natural causes at the research institute where she was kept. The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Deborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived.Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language （ASL）in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31.Primate （灵长类）researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” G oodall said.Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist （语言学家）Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language.60. As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.A. some space researchB. a study on African animalsC. an ASL projectD. the program of training the Air Force61. In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.A. was not successfulB. led to the book Next of KinC. won honor for FoutsD. made a difference62. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.A. supportedB. studiedC. questionedD. discussed63. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.B. Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.C. Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.D. The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.CMAP ARTIST PROGRAMMap Artist is the perfect tool for creating customized （定制的）maps to include in research projects and reports.

All high school graduates ought to go, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more and more, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students get in the way of each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation（推荐）in the competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no interest in their studies, and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators（教导主任）.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot take in an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys （调查）upside down, it seems, and thinking of the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way round, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy（异端邪说）to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But opposite evidence is beginning to mount up.68．According to the passage, the author believes that______.A. people used to question the value of college educationB. people used to have full confidence in higher educationC. all high school graduates went to collegeD. very few high school graduates chose to go to college69．In the 2nd paragraph, "those who don't fit the pattern" refers to______.A. high school graduates who aren't suitable for college educationB. college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC. college students who aren't any better for their higher educationD. high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college70．According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that______.A. society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduatesB. high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college educationC. too many students have to earn their own livingD. college administrators encourage students to drop out71．In this passage the author argues that______.A. more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduatesB. college education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC. college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning peopleD. intelligent people may learn quicker if they don't go to collegeERail passengers are being forced to pay thousands of pounds more in fares as a result of poor advice from the national telephone help line and individual stations, a consumer organization reveals today. Research by Which? found that in some cases passengers are being charged almost double the cheapest price because of errors made by staff.Which? asked 25 questions of both station staff and the National Rail Enquiries （NRES）helpline. Only half of the 50 questions were answered correctly. If customers had followed all the advice given, they would have been ￡1,263. 60 worse off.Bad advice was given for the cheapest fare for a single journey between London and Grantham. For a ticket bought on the day of travel, both NRES and a King’s Cross station clerk quoted GNER’s ￡44. 50 fare, ignoring a Hull Trains service which leaves 10 minutes earlier and costs just ￡20.Some of the most costly misinformation was given for journeys where season tickets should have been recommended. Passengers making a return journey between Swindon and Penzance twice in a week could buy a ticket from one company for ￡70 which would cover all the travel. But both NRES and station staff quoted ￡67 for each journey, making ￡134. However, the NRES website proved to be a much more reliable source of information.Which? also checked “the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket” claims by five companies and found this was not always the case. On some services, prices went up and down at random.Ithiel Mogridge, 52, gave one example of poor advice: “Last Christmas I f ound my brother a ticket on the train line. Come to travel from Blackburn to Yate. While the direct route was ￡51, this one involved a change in Newport and cost just ￡21. I emailed the details to him and his partner. They went to Blackburn station, where the clerk insisted the fare was ￡51.”Malcolm Coles, editor of said: “Staff training needs to be improved. In the meantime, we’ve designed a checklist, available at / railadvice.”72. According to the passage “which?” is a ________.A. national telephone helplineB. department under the British RailC. consumer organizationD. website under the National Rail Enquiries73. When the author said that customers “would have been ￡1,263. 60 worse off”, he was telling us that customers would have _________.A. saved ￡1,263. 60 if they had followed the adviceB. spend ￡1,263. 60 more than the lowest priceC. used ￡1,263. 60 for the survey of 25 questionsD. been cheated of ￡1,263. 60 from the poor advice74. The phrase at random in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_________”.A. casuallyB. purposefullyC. exactlyD. inevitably75. The passage is mainly concerned with the phenomenon that __________.A. rail passengers can get cheaper tickets if they book earlierB. rail passengers are ill-treated by station staffC. booking clerks and the telephone helpline offer reliable informationD. train passengers get bad advice on fares【答案】56.
