Passage One Americans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap. Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(⽚剂) were available in the United States. For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body's reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users. Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that. 16. This article discusses __________. A. the multiple functions of aspirin B. how and why aspirin was invented C. the history and the features of aspirin D. how to take aspirin properly 17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________. A. leaves and tree barks B. the old name of aspirin C. the name of a US company D. a component of aspirin 18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation 19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________. A. with bitter water B. with orange juice C. in tablet form D. in powder form 20. The author of this article seems to be__________. A. against the use of aspirin B. in favour of aspirin C. doubtful about aspirin D. not interested in aspirin Passage Two Dr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family. Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate. According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2%marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up. Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children. “There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane. 21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________. A. Americans are persistent in career B. Americans are serious with their families C. American families are all breaking up D. American families are perfect as usual 22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________. A. in great danger B. quite wonderful C. changing too fast D. very satisfying 23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce? A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage. B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason. C. Less and less people plan to get married. D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage. 24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________.

English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our dally life. Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, they answered: “we come from Hamburg. “One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef and began selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, hamburgers are welcomed by lots of people coming from different nationalities.36.

Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do. So being a youth is one thing, being a good one really needs to take every effort to make yourself to be.41.

2014年12月全国大学成人英语三级ab级考试真题及荅案
2014年12月全国大学成人英语三级ab级考试题答案±(461533046) PART I DICTATIONChoosing A CareerQ/ 4.6.1.5.3.3.0.4.6.When students graduate from college,many of them do not know how they want to spend their working lives and they sometimes move from job to job, until they find something that suits them and of equally importance to which they are suited. Others never find a job in which they are really happy. They remain all their lives square pegs in round holes. When we choose our careers we need to ask ourselves two questions. First, what do we think we would like to be? Second, what kind of people are we? The idea, for example of being a painter or a musician may seem very attractive, but unless we have great talent, and are willing to work very hard. We are certain to fail in these occupations and failure will lead to unhappiness in life. So it is important to assess our suitability for a certain career in job search.PART II LISTENING COMPREHENSION（略）PART III CLOZE31-35 CADBA 36-40 CADAD 41-45 CBDAB 46-50 ADBCBPART IV GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY51-55 DBDCB 56-60 CDCDB 61-65 ACDAB 66-70 DCADBPART VI WRITING大作文题目：The benefits for volunteering小作文题目：向Jane推荐一份英文报纸，说明报纸的两个特点。

The first 740 books were bought in England. They were simply set up in the room where Congress met. Then Thomas Jefferson sold Congress many of his own books. He felt Congress should have books on all subjects, not just on law. This idea changed the library for good. Now the library contains 20 million books as well as scores of pictures, movies, globes and machines. Experts in every field work there. Hundreds of people call every day with all kinds of questions.

For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. After you read a passage you should decide on the best choice for each question or unfinished statement and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage1.Gill Javis took over our village news agency at a time life when most ofus only want to relax. He just thought he would like something but not too much to do, and the news-agency was ready –made. The business produced little enough for him, but Bill was a man who only wanted the simplicity and order and regularity of the job. He had been a long-serving sailor, and all his life had done everything by the clock.Every day he opened his shop at six a.m. to catch the early trade; the papers arrived on his door-step before that. Many of Bill‟s customers were city workers, and the shop was convenient for the station. Business was tailing off by 10 o‟clock, so at eleven sharp Bill closed for lunch. It was hard luck on anybody who wanted a paper or magazine in the afternoon , for most likely Bill would be done on the river bank ,fishing, and his nearest competitor was five kilometers away. Some time in the afternoon ,the evening paper landed on the doormat, and 4 o‟clock Bill opened. The evening rush lasted till seven, and it was worthwhile.He lived in a flat above the shop, alone. Except in the very bad weather ,you always knew where to find him in the afternoons, as I have said.Once, on a sunny afternoon, I walked home along the river bank from a shopping trip to the village .By my watch it was three minutes past four, so I was astonished to see Bill sitting there on his little chair in the water. He had had no luck, I could see, but he was making no effort to move.“What's wrong ,Bill?‟‟ I called out from the path.For answer , he put a hand in his jacket and took out a big ,golden object. For a moment, I had no idea what it could be, and then it suddenly went off with a noise like a fire engine. Stopping the bell, Bill held the thing up and called back, … Ten to four, you see , and this dead right.‟I had never know anyone carrying a brass alarm clock round with them before.51.

For days before it starts on a journey ,a camel dose nothing but eat and drink .It eats so much that a hump of fat ,maybe weighing as much as 100pounds, rises on its back, so the camel‟s body will use up during the journey.The camel also has little flask-shaped bags which line the walls of its stomach .This is where it storeswater. With such provisions ,a camel is able to travel several days between water holes without drinking, and for an even longer time with no nourishment except what it draws from the fat of its hump.At the end of a long journey ,the hump will have lost its firm shape and will folp to one side in flabby folds. The camel will then have to rest for a long time to recover its strength.Did you know that the camel is one of man‟s oldest servants and has been used by men in Egypt for more than 3,000years?56.The camel is called” the ship of the desert“because a camel can in the desert.A survive without eating and drinkingB.live, travel and survivee the food and water in thestomachD.travel for a long distance57.A camel‟s hump is made up of_________A .food B. water C. fat D. food and water58.A camel ________A.restores water in its stomachB.r estores water in its humpC.d ose not need water at allD.drinks from water holes in thedesert59.A camel ______in the desert.A .dose not eat at allB .dose not drink at allC .gets nourishment from the flask-shapedD .gets nourishment from the fat of its hump60.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A .A camel dose nothing but eat and drink before a journeyB.A camel has the same weight before and after a long journeyC.A camel will have to rest for a longtime to recover its strength aftera long journeyD. The camel is one of ma‟s oldest servantsPassage 3(Questions 61to 65 are based on this passage)A massive pool of warn oceanwater is causing changes in theatmosphere that could produceunusual weather around the worldin the next few months, theU.S .National Weather Servicereported on Monday.As a result of this phenomenon, known as El Nino(厄尔尼诺现象)，more rainfall than normal is likely this winter across someareas of the United States, with unusually warm or cold weather in other parts of the country. Currently the phenomenon is marked by a warm pool of water along the equator extending from the international date line(国际日期变更线) nearly to the coast of South America. That water is nearly 4°F above normal ,explained Vernon Kousky of the climate center.This warm water “spreads almost a quarter of the way around the globe .So it‟s massi ve and it has an impact on our weather .It has a global influence…..because it disturbs that atmosphere,“said Dave Rodenhuis ,director of the climate center .El Nino is “probably the most important climate event beyond the annual cycle of seasons,“he added.The phenomenon occurs everythere to five years ,sometimes in a mild from and sometimes strongly affecting weather patterns worldwide .Details of its causes are not fully understood, but when it occurs, unusually warm air can be pumped into Canada ,Alaska and the northern United States. At the same time ,conditions tend to be wetter than normal along the U.S .southeast coast and the Gulf of Mexico. And the Atlantic Caribbean hurricane season tends to be milder than usual.That doesn‟t mean that t he disruption will be as great this time .A mild El Nino in 1986 1987 was barely noticed ,for example.61.According to the climate center , the current phenomenon of El Nino is characteristic of_________.A .more rainfall than usualB .a series of severe winterstormsC. a series of severe winter stormsD. a warm pool of water along the equator62.As a result of this phenomenon of El Nino fall than normal_______A.Along the southeast coastB.Along the west coastC.In the northern United StatesD.In the middle west of the U.S63.Scentists the world over get alarmed about El Nino on account of ________A.unusual weather in the U.SB.the altered annual cycle of seasonC.the impact on weather patterns worldwideD.ocean water nearly 4°F warmer than normal64.which of the following shows that El Nino can be in some cases more of a blessing than only damaging?

Which of the following statements is NOT ture according to the passage?A.El Nino is probably more important climate event than annual cycle of seasons.B.El Nino sometimes stronger and sometimes milderC.No one fully understands what causes El NinoD.El Nino could produce unusual weather around the world Passage 4(Questions 66 to 70 are based on this passage)Something big is happening to the human race, something that could be called the great Transformation.The Transformation consists of all the changes that are occurring in human life due to advancing technology, For thousands of years such progress occurred slowly, Now everything is changing so fast that you may find yourself wondering where all this progress is really leading.Nobody knows what all these changes really will wean in the long run .but this mysterious Transformation is the biggest story of all time .It is the story of the human race itself.Some people worry about what will happen when the deposits of petroleum are gone ,but alreadyresearchers are finding all kinds ofnew ways to obtain energy .someday ,solar power collected by satellites circling the earth or fission (裂变)power manufactured by mankind may give us all the energy we needFor an expanding civilization . Space exploration promises to open up many new territories for human settlement, as well as leading to the harvest of mineral resourcesLike it or not, our advancing technology has made us masters of The earth .We not only dominate all the other animals, but we are reshaping the world‟s plant life and even its soil and rocks, its waters and surrounding air. Technology gives us the power to build a magnificent new civilization, if we can just agree on what we want it to be. But today, there is little global agreement on goals and how we should achieve them.So in remains to be seen what will happen as a result of our technology. Pessimists worry that we will use the technology eventually to blow ourselvesup. But they have been saying that for decades, and so far we have escaped . Whether we will continue to do so remains unknown but we can continue to hope66. The Great Transformation is caused by _______.A.changes in human lifeB.t he development of science andtechnologyC.s pace explorationD.unknown reasons67.Today it is impossible for people to build a remarkable new civilization because_____.A.nobody is optimistic about thefutureB.human beings are unable to do soC.people disagree with each other inmany waysD.people are worried too much68.

2014年成人英语三级考试考前模拟练习题
2014年成人英语三级考试考前模拟练习题Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At the speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor windows. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to ￡50. it will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear you seat belt.(76) Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.1. This text is taken from ________.A) a medical magazine B) a police reportC) a legal document D) a government information booklet(D)2. Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle ________.A) reduces road accidents by more than halfB) saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hourC) reduces the death rate in traffic accidents D) saves morethan 15,000 lives each year(C)3. It is the driver’s responsibility to ________.A) make the front seat passenger wear a seat beltB) make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat beltC) stop children riding in the front seat D) wear a seat belt each time he drives4. According to the text, which of the following people riding in the front dos not have to wear a seat belt?A) Someone who is backing into a parking space.B) Someone who is picking up the children from the local school.C) Someone who is delivering invitation letters.D) Someone who is under 14.(A)5. For some people, it may be better ________.A) to wear a seat belt for health reasonsB) not to wear a seat belt for health reasonsC) to get valid medical certificate before wearing a seat beltD) to pay a fine rather than wear a seat beltPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. (77)Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.(78)I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon’s long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.6. In what way can we make a machine intelligent?A) By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.B) By working hard for 10 or 20 years.C) By either properly programming it or changing its structure.D) By reproducing it.(C)7. What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?A) He believes they will be useful to human beings.B) He believes that they will control us in the future.C) He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.D) He doesn’t consider the construction of such machines possible.(A)8. The word “carbon” (Line 4, Para. 2) stands for ________.A) intelligent robots B) a chemical element C) an organic substance D) human beings(D)9. A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when ________.A) its intelligence and cost are beyond questionB) it is able to bear the rough environmentC) it is made as complex as the human brainD) its architecture is different from that of the present ones(A)10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A) after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproductionB) with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like abilityC) once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will posses intelligenceD) robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in spacePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:“... We are not about to enter the Information Age but instead are rather well in to it.” Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all United States high schools owned one or more computers for student use.(79) In the fall of 1985, a new survey revealed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all s tudents become “computer literate (慢点…的).”“By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print illiterate today.”What i s “computer literacy”? The term itself seems to imply soon extent of “knowing” about computers, but knowing what. The current opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate.Therefore, it is vital that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. T oday most adults are capable of utilising a motor vehicle without the slightest knowledge of how the internal-combustion engine works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work.(80)Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few haveever known how to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work?Rather, we first must concentrate on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is.“Knowing how to use a computer is what’s going to be important, we don’t talk about ‘automobile literacy. ‘ We just get in our cars and drive them.”11. In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to ________.A) 79 million B) 30 million C) 70 million D) 100 million(C)12. The expression “Print illiterate” (Para. 1, Line 16) refers to ________.A) one who has never learnt printing B) one who is not computer literateC) one who has never learnt to read D) one who is not able to use a typewriter(C)13. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.A) recent predictions of computer-related jobs B) the wide use of computers in schoolsC) the urgency of computer education D) public interest in computers(C)14.According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers is to teach ____.A) what computers are B) how to use computersC) where computers can be used D) how computers work(B)15. Which of the following statements is FALSE?A) What to teach about computers should be reconsidered.B) Those who are not educated in computer use will find it difficult to get a job.C) Human society has already entered the Information Age.D) Those who want to use computers should know how computers operate.答案：1—15 DCBAB CADAB CCCBD2020-2-8。

2014年9月公共英语考试(三级)模拟冲刺试题Section I Listening Comprehension(25 minutes) (略)Section Ⅱ Use of English(15 minutes)Directions:Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B,C, or Don your ANSWER SHEET 1.TextMost young people enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or mountaineering.These who have a passion 26 climbing high and difficult mountains are often 27 with astonishment. Why are men and women 28 to suffer cold and hardship, and to 29 on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activities 30 which men give their leisure.There are no man-made rules, as there are for 31 as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to 32 , but it is this freedom from man-made rules 33 makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to their own 34 .If we 35 mountaineering with other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is 36 mountaineering is not a “team work”. However, it is only our misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no :matches”37 “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may38 , obviously, there is teamwork.A mountain climber knows that he may have to fight with natural 39 that ate stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and 40 qualities.A mountain climber 41 to improve on skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions 42 in their early twenties.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there — moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage?I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,” I began awkwardly.“I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.”“To another paper?” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,” he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,” he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody — even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______.[A] newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47. If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in a publishing house.49. When the writer decided to resign the Globe was faced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By “:I wish I were in your shoes.” (in the last paragraph) Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day[C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B] Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect”— conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible) Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the United States[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soon58. The word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[D] the world's temperature will remain constant in the years to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect……[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels……[C] the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to C ) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.AbbeyYou can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!MarlinI began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.MaggieDuring my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. "BelindaIf you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse.WoodI went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62. Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63. Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64. Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65. Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing (40 minutes)You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.

北京2014年下半年成人英语三级模拟卷试题
北京2014年下半年成人英语三级模拟练习题（1）练习编号【20140110001】一、Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or un finished 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.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Scientists in India have invented a new way to produce electricity. Their invention does not get its power from oil, coal or other fuels. It produces electricity with the power of animals. India has about e ighty million bullocks. They do all kinds of jobs. They work in the fields. They pull vehicles through th e streets. They carry water containers. (76)Indian energy officials have been seeking ways to use less im ported oil to provide energy. Scientists at the National Institute for Industrial Engineering in Bombay wo ndered whether the millions of bullocks could help. Many villages in India lack electricity, but they have many bullocks. And often the animals are not working. One job done by bullocks is to pump water out of the well. The animals do this by walking around and around in a circle. As they walk, they turn a heavy stick that makes the pump move. This simple technology is centuries old. Scientists thought that the same technology could be used to produce electricity. Bullocks walk in a circle only two or three ti mes a minute. This is much too slow to produce electricity, but it can create enough power to turn a se ries of gears. A large gear sits next to a smaller gear. As the large gear turns, it causes the smaller gear to turn. That gear turns an even smaller one. Each gear moves faster because it is a little smaller. The smallest gear may turn extremely fast. (77)Clocks operate with gears. So do cars and so does the device invented by the Indian scientists to produce electricity.According to the officials in the United Nations, the idea is being tested at several places in India. The device is easy to operate and repair. And it can be moved easily. It costs about three hundred and seven dollars now to make such a device, but production of large numbers of them could cut the cost of each to about two hundred dollars.1. Who first thought of using bullocks to provide energy?A Indian energy officialsB Scientists in IndiaC Officials in the United NationsD Researchers in Europe.2. Which kind of job that the bullocks do is NOT mentioned in the passage?A Pulling vehiclesB Plowing fieldsC Pumping water out if wellsD Carrying food baskets.3. Why are bullocks used to provide energy in India?A Because bullocks have long been used by Indian peopleB Because bullocks walk slowly and are easy to controlC Because there are few non-working bullocks in IndiaD Because there is not enough oil in India4. In the sentence “This simple technology is centuries old” in Paragraph One, “This simple techn ology” refers to _____. A using bullocks to produce energyB using pumps to draw water outC having bullocks walk around to make the pump moveD connecting gears of different sizes to produce electricity.5. Which of the following is true about the device mentioned in the passage?A It has a large gear and a smaller gear.B It’s easy to use, but difficult to move.C It’s quite cheap.D It’s still being tested.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:On-the-job smoking is a hot issue for both smokers and non-smokers, and many managers now see smoking as a productivity problem. Although some people question whether smoking really affects one’s productivity, it has, in fact, been proven that a smoker costs a company more than a non-smoker. Accor ding to Professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $ 5,700 more a y ear than a never-smoker. These costs include medical care, lost earnings and insurance. And absence due to smoking breaks is one of the productivity problems, yet it accounts for a great deal of employer cost s.(78) When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers. It has long been proven that s moking is linked to lung cancer. Now many health experts warn that passive smoking can cause lung ca ncer and other illnesses in healthy never-smokers. Passive smoking can be defined as exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke in enclosed areas. Anyone who has been with smokers indeed knows that their smo ke can cause eye irritation, coughing, headaches and throat soreness. While eye irritation may seem a sm all thing to some smokers, it nevertheless is a problem that occurs every workday in offices and break-rooms and can lead to greater health problems. Employees who do not smoke should not be subjected to t he risks of passive smoking and need to be able to work in a safe environment. Surgeon General Koop states that the right of the smoker stops at the point where his or her smoking increases the disease risk of those occupying the same environment.6. All the following cases are on-the-job smoking except that____.A an employer smokes while working in the officeB a taxi driver smokes while driving the carC a worker smokes while working in the workshopD a worker smokes while reading in the train7. According to the passage, on-the-job smoking affects an employee’s performance in the office in t hat_____.A he can concentrate on what he is doing while smokingB he often goes away from his desk to smoke in the break-roomC he often asks for sick leave as a result of too much smokingD he takes a rest from time to time because of eye irritation8. Many managers do not seem to be in favor of on-the-job smoking mainly because it ____.A reduces productivity of the company to a certain degreeB does harm to the health of never-smokers of the companyC affects the relationship between smokers and non-smokersD makes the break-rooms more crowded and more polluted9. Passive smoking means____A never-smokers take up the habit of smoking unwillinglyB never-smokers have to put up with the active smokersC never-smokers take in smoke released by a lit cigaretteD never-smokers share an enclosed area with smokers10. In the second part of the passage, the author suggests banning on-the-job smoking so as to____.A cut down costs of medical care and insuranceB create a healthy and safe working environmentC prevent eye irritation from becoming a big health problemD improve the smoking employees’ work efficiencyPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passageNot all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Viol ence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive t hese experiences in nightmares(噩梦).(79)Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forg et bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase(抹去), the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body relea sing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. (80) So far the research has suggested that only the emoti onal effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. The y say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have the m in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a pr ofessor of psychiatry at Harvard MedicalSchool. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because m emories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our liv ed that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I’m not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.11. The passage is mainly about _____.A a new medical inventionB a new research on memoriesC a way of erasing painful memoriesD an argument about the research on the pill12. The drug tested on people can ____.A cause the brain to fix memoriesB stop people remembering their experiencesC prevent body producing certain chemicalsD wipe out the emotional effects of memories13. We can infer from the passage that_____.A people doubt the effects of the pillsB the pill will stop people’s bad experiencesC taking the pill will do harm to people’s healthD the pill has probably been produced in America14. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?A Some memories can ruin people’s lives.B People want to get rid of bad memories.C Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D The pill will reduc e people’s sufferings from bad memories.15. The word “scars” in Paragraph One is close in meaning to ____.A good storiesB painsC experiencesD memories二、Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

English speakers enjoy creating new words. In fact, a majority of words are traceable and each of them may have an interesting story.However, no one will really care where a word comes from because it makes little difference in using them in our dally life. Did you ever feel confused about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham?About a hundred years ago, some men went to American from Europe, coming from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They didn't know how to use English properly. Seen them eating round pieces of beef and asked what it was, the Germans didn't understand the questions exactly, they answered: “we come from Hamburg.“One of the Americans was an owner of a restaurant and got an idea. He cooked some round pieces of bread with beef and began selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. Today, hamburgers are welcomed by lots of people coming from different nationalities.36.

Being a good youth, one should have those factors: the basic one is health. A healthy body is a kind of priceless treasure. One can do nothing without it. Secondly, we should pay essential attention to our moral character. We should be always willing to help those in trouble without any complaints. Moreover, we should care more about the people around us. Thirdly, cooperation and communication also play an important role in being a good youth. No one can live alone without any friends. And nobody can work out every problem without help of partners. So the youth should and must learn how to live and work well with others, including those people you don't like to cooperate or communicate with. The last but not the least, patriotism, meaning a love of one's country, is the one we should never forget. People always misunderstand the word “patriots” by thinking it only refers to those fighters who fight for their country. As a matter of fact, a patriot will do the things his country asks him to do.
