大学英语三级A级（阅读理解）-试卷12
（总分：50.00 ，做题时间：90 分钟）
一、Reading Comprehension（总题数：11，分数：50.00）
1. Part III Reading Comprehension （40 minutes）Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
解析：
2. Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked
A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice ．
解析：
We don't have beds in the spacecraft, but we do have sleeping bags. During the day, when we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the ways. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we've chosen to sleep. On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time.
No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft's computers call us on the radio.
On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn't mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit （轨道） the
sun
ises and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes, then it sets as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep
masks. It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut （宇航员） sleeps differently: some sleep upside down, some sideways, and some right side up. When
it's time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float （漂浮） up to the flight deck （驾驶舱）. Then I get into the bag, and float in a sitting position just
above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a
while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me. （分数：10.00 ）
（1）.When the astronauts are working, sleeping bags are fastened ___ . （分数： 2.00 ）
A. on the wall V
B. to their seats
C. onto the flight deck
D. anywhere they like
解析：解析：根据题目中的sleeping bags 定位到第一段。

该段第二句话谈到，在工作的时候，宇航员都是把睡袋系在墙上的（tied to the wall）。

故A项是正确答案。

（2）.Why can all the astronauts sleep at the same time? （分数： 2.00 ）
A. They have to follow the same timetable.
B. The radio will take care of the aircraft for them.
C. There are enough sleeping bags in the spacecraft.
D. There is no need for them to watch over the spacecraft. V
解析：解析：根据题目中的sleep at the same time 定位到第二段。

该段第二句说到，没有必要一直守着飞船（No one has to stay awake to watch over…），如有异常情况，计算机系统会发出通知。

所以，宇航员们大可放心地同时睡觉。

故 D 项是正确答案。

（3）.To relax himself before sleep, the writer often __ . （分数： 2.00 ）
A. makes a bed
B. gets into his bag
C. l istens to music V
D. wears a sleep mask
解析：解析：根据题目中的relax 定位到全文最后一句。

该句谈到，作者在睡觉之前先要听一会儿音乐(listening to music) 放松一下。

因此， C 项是正确答案。

(4) .How long does it take the spacecraft to go round the Earth? (分数：2.00 )
A. Forty minutes.
B. Fifty minutes.
C. Ninety minutes. V
D. Twenty-four hours.
解析：解析：根据第三段第二句话可知，飞船沿着轨道每90分钟(each ninety-minute orbit) 就可以看到一次日升日
落(“rises ”…“sets ”)。

所以可以推理出，飞船绕地球一周需要90分钟，因此C项是正确答案。

(5) .The best title for this passage is ___ . (分数：2.00)
A. Traveling in Space
B. Sleeping in the Spacecraft V
C. Equipment Used by Astronauts
D. The Earth Seen from Outer Space
解析：解析：通读文章后我们可以看出，本文通篇都在探讨宇航员在飞船里的睡觉问题。

如：第一段介绍了宇航员在飞船里是睡在睡袋的；第二段介绍了宇航员可以同一时间睡觉；第三段介绍了为了更好的入睡宇航员会戴上黑色的睡眠眼罩；第四段介绍了宇航员睡觉时不同的睡姿以及本文作者的睡眠习惯。

因此，B项是最佳标题。

3. Task 2Directions ：This task is the same as Task 1 ．The 5 questions or unfinished statements
are numbered 41 through 45 ．
解析：
Do you know how to use a mobile phone without being rude to the people around you? Talking during a performance irritates （激怒） people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate （振动）. When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly
and let the others enjoy the performance. Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places —especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to
listen to someone's conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off. When eating at a restaurant with friends, don't place your mobile phone on the table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you. Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that others won't hear the details of your conversations. If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone. Many people believe that they can't live without their mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient, but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home. （分数：10.00）
（1）.What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance? （分数： 2.00）
A. Call back after the performance.
B. Answer it near the exit door.
C. Talk outside the exit door. V
D. Speak in a low voice.
解析：解析：根据题目中的during a performance 定位到第二段。

该段第二、三句表明，看表演的时候，如果要等紧急电话，你可以坐在出口附近(sit near the exit doors) ，这样电话来了，你就可以悄悄走开(leave quietly) 。

由此可推断，看表演的时候，应该到出口外面接听电话，故C项为正确答案。

(2) .Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think ____ . (分数： )2.00 ．
A. you prefer to talk to your friends at the table
B. you value your calls more than your friends V
C. you are enjoying the company of your friends
D. you are polite and considerate of your friends
解析：解析：根据题目中的restaurant table 定位到第四段。

该段第二句谈到，将手机放到桌子上会让你的朋友觉得你把电话看得比你旁边的人还重要(more important than those around you) 。

即B项所表达的意思。

(3) .When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to ___ . (分数：2.00 )
A. use a more sensitive microphone
B. shout loudly into your microphone
C. go away quietly to continue the phone call
D. use your hand to help speak into the phone V
解析：解析：根据题目中的noisy area 定位到第五段最后一句。

该句谈论到，如果你在吵闹的地方(a noisy
area) 打电话时，要用手将你的声音导入麦克风(use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone) 。

可见D 项是对其的同义表述。

(4) .The author implies that the use of mobile phones in such places as museums should be ____. (分数：
2.00 )
A. limited
B. expected
C. discouraged V
D. recommended
解析：解析：根据题目中的museum定位到第三段。

该段第一句谈到，在博物馆(museums)等等这样的公共场所，在接听电话之前要三思(Think twice)。

由此推测，作者是不鼓励在博物馆这样的公共场所接听电话的。

C项应为正确答案。

(5) .Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? (分数：2.00)
A. You should limit your mobile phone calls to personal affairs.
B. You should speak quietly into your phone while in a church.
C. You are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral. V
D. You are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible.
解析：解析：根据第三段第三至五句可知，在葬礼上，手机响会让自己觉得尴尬(embarrassing) ，要想避免这种尴尬就要确保手机已经关机(switched off)。

由此可知，作者建议在参加葬礼的时候要关闭手机，故C项为正确答案。
