Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Text 1 Five-year-old Elia arrived at school with a big box of colored pencils. Her friend, Anna, offered to exchange her set of markers for the brand-new pencils. Elia agreed, but soon discovered that the markers were dried up. ―That‘s not fair!‖cried Elia to her teacher. ―I want my new pencils back.‖After some tears and negotiation, the teacher helped the girls set things right by returning the items to their original owners. Later that day, at story time, the teacher shared the picture book classic A Bargain for Frances. Though the conflict in the story is just over a broken tea set, the message about fair play was not lost on the children. The book was helpful in exploring a small, yet significant, life lesson. Stories are vital to the way we process and experience life events and the feelings that surround us. The ability to create, share, and respond to stories is one of the vital characteristics of being human. In fact, the human brain is programmed to see patterns and become fascinated in the plot development of stories, finally storing them in long-term memory. As a result, the brain is a remarkably effective processor of stories, both real and fictional. High-quality pictures books are a good blend of art and literature that attracts kids‘imagination and communicates an idea in an effective way. These books are perfect teaching tools, as they deal with the powerful emotions that kids feel, model effective coping strategies, and present complex concepts in appropriate ways. In addition, according to brain research, the picture in books are distinctive from the fleeting images kids see on television in that they remain on the page, ready to be revisited, touched, and commented upon. Whether we share stories about families, historical events, or emotions, stories are a way to sum up life‘s memorable moments and lasting lessons. We can control the power of literature and use it to develop positive character in young kids by reading often, choosing suitable books, and enjoying stories together. 26. Elia cried ―That‘s not fair!‖as she thought that she was ______. [A] cheated by her friend. [B] defeated by her friend. [C] ignored by her teacher.

[D] scolded by her teacher. 27. A Bargain for Frances is intended to teach kids how to ______. [A] play fair in life. [B] organize things. [C] win in conflicts. [D] write a message. 28. According to the text, stories can help kids ______. [A] realize their potential. [B] improve their

memory. [C] concentrate on reading. [D] understand the human world. 29. In comparison with pictures in books, television images ______. [A] are frequently commented on. [B] stay temporarily with children. [C] blend art and literature vividly. [D] communicate ideas effectively. 30. The power of literature can help kids develop their ______. [A] positive character.

[B] interest in history. [C] passion for stories. [D] learning strategies. Text 2 We have heard a lot about the health benefits of tea, especially green tea. It is high in polyphenols, compounds with strong antioxidant activity that in test-tube and animal models show anti-cancer and heart-protective effects. Good clinical studies are few, however, and although physicians tell their patients to drink green tea, there hasn‘t been any definite proof of the value of that advice.

A team of Japanese researchers was able to link green tea consumption with decreased mortality from many causes---including heart disease. The researchers tracked 40,530 healthy adults ages 40 to 79 in a region of northeastern Japan where most people drink green tea, following them for up to 11 years. Those who drank five or more cups of green tea a day had significantly lower mortality rates than those who drank less than one cup a day. There were also fewer deaths from cardiovascular disease. But no such association was seen with deaths from cancer. Nor was consumption of oolong or black tea connected with any decrease in mortality. Those teas are easier to be combined with oxygen in processing, which not only darkens the color of the leaves and changes their flavor but also reduces their polyphenol content. Coffee is more complicated. It has received both gold stars and black marks in medical literature. It, too, contains antioxidants, although they are less well studied than tea polyphenols. Evidence for the health benefits of coffee is growing, however. A group of investigators from Finland, Italy and the Netherlands reports that coffee seems to protect against age-related decline in mental capacity. The scientists studied 676 healthy men born from 1900 to 1920 and followed them for 10 years, using standardized measures of brain function. Their conclusion: the men who consumed coffee had significantly less decline in mental capacity than those who didn‘t. Three cups a day seemed to provide the most protection. Population studies like those help us form assumptions about relationships between dietary habits and long-term health. We still have to test our suppositions in controlled conditions, and measure the effects of coffee and tea on various systems of the body. 31. Physicians often tell their patients to drink green tea because ______. [A] its medical value has been proved. [B] it is believed to be good for one‘s health. [C] it has long since been used clinically. [D] its effectiveness has been shown in animals. 32. The Japanese study seems to have confirmed the positive effect of green tea on ______. [A] young adults.

[B] Asian people. [C] patients with cancer. [D] patients with heart disease. 33. The text indicates that black tea differs from green tea in that ______. [A] it can retain the color of its leaves. [B] it can reduce cancer-related deaths. [C] it contains less polyphenol content.

[D] it is stronger in flavor than the latter. 34. Coffee is beneficial to one‘s health because ______.

[A] it has more antioxidants than green tea. [B] it slows down the rate of brain aging. [C] it lowers the rate of natural mortality. [D] it keeps systems of the body active. 35. The text indicates that the relationships between dietary habits and long-term health ______. [A] are a falsely perceived supposition. [B] are a conflicting issue among people. [C] deserve further scientific research. [D] deserve to be tested on a larger population. Part B Directions: Read the texts from a magazine section called ―Letters‖in which five people wrote about online shopping. For questions 36 - 40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A - G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Jennifer: In your article about

online shopping being the newest and easiest way to shop, you said that computers will replace shopping malls sooner or later because they make buying things faster and cheaper. But don‘t you think that the entire point of shopping is to spend leisure time with friends while doing something necessary. Shopping is not just a quick task. It is, in fact, an entire way of life. Paul: I am a great collector of all manner of hard-to-find items such as out-of-print books and antiques. Purchasing in physical stores would mean round-the-world travel and years of effort. I can get the same result in a few hours on eBay, and often at bargain prices. I am quite well-off, but buy very few consumer items available in regular shops. I have many friends and acquaintances with the same approach. Mike:My wife buys online often. I have not heard complaints or dissatisfaction. She can compare with different online vendors‘prices after she has decided what she wants. It ‘s delivered to the door, a big time savings and gas savings. If I need something, I check online first and see what it costs and then decide where to buy, local stores or online. Online has the advantage most of the time. Henry: Virtually all online stores make your register. But, I don‘t need another username and password to remember. I will only buy online if I cannot find something locally. Even though shipping is fast, I‘d rather drive across town and pay more to be able to bring home a new gadget the same day. And, most of the time, there is no difference in price between local stores and online stores. Jeff: If you think the prices are the same online as they are locally, you‘re dealing with the wrong online retailers. I‘m an online shopping veteran and I always save quite a bit on my large-dollar purchases. With a little research experience, I‘ve easily saved thousands of dollars over the last several years. Besides, shipping on most items is reasonable and you don‘t even pay taxes 99.9% of the time. Now match the name of each person (36 - 40) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 36. Jennifer [A] I‘ll buy online only when I have to. 37. Paul [B] You can enjoy steep discounts with most online sellers. 38. Mike [C] I shift between buying on or off line depending on what suits me. 39. Henry [D] Shopping is not only a necessary task but a sociable pleasure. 40. Jeff [E] Online selling helps to satisfy my special needs in buying. [F] Buying online is far from being as good as it is boasted to be. [G] Buying online can save you a lot only if you find the right online sellers. Part C Directions: Read the following text from which five sentences have been removed, choose from the sentences A –G the most suitable one to fill each numbered gad in the text (41 –45). There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSER SHEET. ―Any apples today?‖Effie asked cheerfully at my window. I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit, of course.

41 ―Pay me whenever you like,‖said Effie, climbing back into her truck. All pretense of payment was dropped when our funds, food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often, always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood. There were other generosities. Our baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife‘s trip to New York for consultation with specialist. 42 Her income, derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop, had never exceeded $200 a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples. But she always managed to help someone poorer. Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time. She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. ―Here, darling,‖I said, ―is what I owe you.‖―Don‘t give it to me all at once,‖she said. ―43 ‖I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt. The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later. 44 But a curious thing began to happen. Whenever I saw a fellow human in

financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can‘t afford to do this always, but in the ten years since Effie‘s death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her. The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on. 45 So the account can never be marked closed, for Effie‘s love will go on in hearts that have never known her. [A] At that time, it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled. [B] Give your help to those in greater need. [C] Effie was not a rich woman. [D] Effie worked diligently all her lift. [E] Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then. [F] By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times. [G] Give it back as I gave it to you---a little at a time. Part D Directions: Read the following text from which 10 words have been removed. Choose from the words A –O the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text (46 - 55). There are FIVE extra words that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. It can be a special experience to go on a family trip during the holiday season, but one reason that many parents 46 to stay home is the cost of travel. Here are some ways of reducing your travel 47 . Flying is a fast way to arrive at your destination, but the cost of airline tickets can really add up if you are buying flights for the whole family. Often, it is cheaper to pay for gas 48 the whole family can fit in the car, 49 with the current decreased in gas prices. If your destination is too far to drive to, you should look at a variety of 50 for your flight times. For example, it is often cheaper to fly on Christmas day instead of flying a few days before Christmas. Also, 51 early morning flights is cheaper than traveling during peak times during the day. Eating out 52 you are on the road can quickly increase the trip cost, and it‘s much cheaper to stop at the grocery store, planning your own food 53 . If you plan to eat out, then it‘s usually cheaper to eat at a restaurant during breakfast or lunch, 54 you to skip the higher dinner prices. Also, it might be cheaper to visit an all-inclusive resort. These resorts include all the meals and a variety of activities, and many of them have children‘s activities so that the kids can 55 entertained during the trip. [A] allowing [B] if [C] begin [D] choose [E] driving [F] especially [G] expenses [H] instead [I] before [J] options [K] stay [L] taking [M] too [N] troubles [O] while Section ⅢWriting (45 minutes) Directions: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET. Part A 56. Your friend Paul wants to know in detail about the part-time job you took at a restaurant during the summer vacation. Write an email to Paul, telling him about: 1) what you did on the job.; 2) how you felt about the working environment and co-workers; 3) what you learned from the job. You should write about100 words. Do not sign your own name at the end of your email. Use "Wang Lin" instead. Part B 57. Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarized key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. Lori Schneider knows a few things about fear. ―We were crossing a ridge that dropped off 8,000 feet on both sides,‖says the 53-year-ole climber of ascending Mount Everest last spring. ―The wind was blowing at 60 miles an hour. If there was ever a moment to panic, this was it.‖But she didn‘t. An hour later, she reached the peak—the last step in her personal challenge to scale the highest mountains on all seven continents. Ten years earlier, she‘d come face-to-face with a different type of fear, when she was unable to feel anything in the right side of her body. After learning she had multiple sclerosis (MS)—a serious illness that gradually makes a person weak and unable to move or see, she left her marriage, job, and home: ―I ran from 2015年9月公共英语三级真题及答案第7页共14页my whole life.‖It was just before climbing South America‘s Mount Aconcagua in 2000 that she set her sights on the Seven Summits. After training by pulling

50-pound bags of dog food up the ski slopes near her home, she topped Europe‘s Mount Elbrus in 2002, North America‘s McKinley in 2006, and Australia‘s Kosciuszko and Antarctica‘s Vinson Massif in 2008. She‘d scaled Africa‘s Kilimanjaro in 1993. That left Asia‘s Everest, the highest of all. And there she stood, on a ridge at 28,000 feet. ―When I trained, I told myself to take one step at a time by spelling out words,‖she says. ―So I spelled out ?Don't let fear in.‘‖It got her to the top. She‘s the first person with MS to conquer the Seven Summits. With her condition stable, she plans a return to Kilimanjaro—this time with 15 others with MS by her side. 参考答案及解析第一部分听力理解1-5 CDBAD 6-10 DAABC 11-15 CDBCB 16-20 CADCC 21-25 BBCDA [听力原文] PART A 1.

I shall have to write to the Local Authority and inquire whether it is allowed to build a house on your piece of land.

The substance which people cannot resist in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke the nicotine goes directly into the blood stream and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker‘s body gets accustomed to the nicotine and if he stops smoking he feels nervous. Many smokers try to stop smoking but because of their dependence on nicotine they feel so uncomfortable that they often find it too hard to stop. Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking and what it symbolizes. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a break. For some people smoking becomes part of certain social forms, for example, the cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it makes their hands busy. Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it is the tar causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to make people give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have to keep selling them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people is western countries have welcomed these cigarettes since they find it difficult to stop smoking but want to reduce its risk. 第二部分阅读Text 1 参考译文5岁的伊利亚带了一大盒彩色铅笔去学校。她的朋友安娜提出用自己的马克笔交换伊利亚全新的彩笔。伊利亚同意了,但是她很快发现马克笔没水了。伊利亚跟老师哭诉“这不公平!我要换回我的新彩笔。”安慰哭泣的伊利亚后,老师跟两个小女孩商量,最后将两人的东西物归原主,顺利地解决了此事。那天晚些时候,老师在说故事环节跟小朋友们分享了一本经典图画书《弗朗西斯的交易》。尽管故事中的矛盾只有一套破损的但是却传递一个重要的信息,孩子间的公平没有丢失。在探究很小却很重要的

人生道理中,这本书起到了很大的帮助作用。在我们处理和体验生活里的一些事情和感情时,故事往往起到了至关重要的作用。创造、分享故事并对故事做出反应的能力是人类重要的特征之一。事实上,人类大脑首先看到图案,然后被故事情节的发展所吸引,最后转存为长期记忆。因此,大脑对于真实和虚构的故事都能快速、有效地处理。高质量的图画书是一种艺术和文学的结合体,能激发孩子的想象力并使他们能用有效的方式交流他们的想法。这些图书是非常好的教学工具,因为它能应对孩子强烈的情感、示范有效的处理策略,并通过适当的方式解释复杂的概念。除此之外,根据对大脑的研究,图画书通过“图片”这一给人留下深刻印象的形式对文字进行了很好的补充,书中的图片与孩子在电视中看到的飞速画面不同,因为书中的图片印在纸张上,可以反复阅读、触摸和评论。无论我们分享家庭、历史事件或情感,故事能总结人生中难忘和终身受益的时刻。我们可以控制文学的力量并通过经常阅读、挑选合适的书籍、一起分享故事来发展孩子积极向上的性格。26. A [精析] 推断题。从文章第一段第二、三句“Her friend, Anna, offered to exchange her set of markers for the brand-new pencils. Elia agreed, but soon discovered that the markers were dried up.”可知,伊利亚换来的马克笔油水了,所以她说这不公平,她用自己的全新彩色铅笔换了安娜没水的马克笔,她觉得自己被骗了,故选A。27.A [精析] 细节题。从文章第二段第二句话―Though the conflict in the story is just over a broken tea set, the message about fair play was not lost on the children.‖可知,这本书是关于公平的故事,故选A。28.D [精析] 推理题。从文章第三段第一、二句话―Stories are vital to the way we process and experience life events and the feelings that surround us. The ability to create, share, and respond to stories is one of the vital characteristics of being human.‖可推断出,故事能够帮助孩子更好地了解世界。A项“了解他们的潜能”、B项“提高他们的记忆”、C项“集中注意力阅读”文中都没提及,帮排除,故选D。29. B [精析] 细节题。从文章第四段最后一句―. In addition, according to brain research, the picture in books are distinctive from the fleeting images kids see on television in that they remain on the page, ready to be revisited, touched, and commented upon.‖可知,与图画书相比,电视画面转换快、停留时间短,故选B。30.A [精析] 细节题。从文章最后一句―We can control the power of literature and use it to develop positive character in young kids by reading often, choosing suitable books, and enjoying stories together.‖可知,我们可以控制文学的力量并利用它来发展孩子积极向上的性格,A项符合题意,故选A。Text 2 参考译文我们听过很多茶叶对人体健康有益的说法,尤其是绿茶。它富含大量的茶多酚、抗氧化剂,在试管实验及动物测试中具有抗癌和保护心脏的作用。然而,至今没有多少有效的临床试验。尽管医生建议他们的病人多喝绿茶,但没有确切的数据证明这个建议的有效性。一组日本研究者将饮用绿茶与诸如心脏病等因素导致的死亡率下降相联系。他们追踪了40,530名年龄在40至79岁的健康成人,这些人生活在日本东北地区,这里大多数的人都有喝绿茶的习惯。这一研究进行了11年之久。与每天饮用不到一杯绿茶的人相比,每天饮用五杯及以上绿茶的人的死亡率要低得多,因心血管疾病而死亡的也少很多。但是饮用绿茶与癌症死亡没有直接联系。饮用乌龙茶或红茶与疾病死亡率降低也无直接关联。这些茶在处理过程中易氧化,不仅颜色变深,气味发生变化,茶多酚含量也会降低。咖啡更加复杂。它在医学界的评价褒贬不一。咖啡同样富含抗氧化剂,尽管人们对茶多酚的研究更多,然而越来越多的证据表明咖啡对健康有益。一群来自芬兰、意大利和荷兰的研究者报道咖啡有预防老化引起的智力衰退的可能。科学家们使用科学的大脑功能测试方法对676名出生于1900至1920年的健康成人跟踪研究了10年。他们得出的结论是:与不饮用咖啡的人相比,经常饮用咖啡的人在智力衰退方面明显下降得要慢些。一天三杯咖啡能提供最好的保护。诸如此类的群体研究能帮助我们推测饮食习惯与长期健康的关系。我们同样要对这些假设在可控环境下进行测试,并测量咖啡和茶对人体各系统的影响。31. B [精析] 推断题。由文章第一

段的第一句―We have heard a lot about the health benefits of tea, especially green tea.‖及第三句―Good clinical studies are few, however, and although physicians tell their patients to drink green tea, there hasn‘t been any definite proof of the value of that advice. ‖可知,医生建议病人多喝绿茶并没有确切的数据证明这个建议的有效性,只是据说绿茶对人体健康有好处,故选B。32.D [精析] 细节题。由文章第二段第一句―A team of Japanese researchers was able to link green tea consumption with decreased mortality from many causes---including heart disease.‖及第三句―Those who drank five or more cups of green tea a day had significantly lower mortality rates than those who drank less than one cup a day.‖可知,日本研究者将饮用绿茶与诸如心脏病等因素导致的死亡率下降相联系,与每天饮用不到一杯绿茶的人相比,每天饮用五杯及以上绿茶的人的死亡率要低得多,故选D。33.C [精析] 细节题。由文章第三段第三句―Those teas are easier to be combined with oxygen in processing, which not only darkens the color of the leaves and changes their flavor but also reduces their polyphenol content.‖可知,红茶在处理过程中茶多酚含量减少,故选C。34. B [精析] 细节题。由文章第四段第五句―' A group of investigators from Finland, Italy and the Netherlands reports that coffee seems to protect against age-related decline in mental capacity.‖及第七句―Their conclusion: the men who consumed coffee had significantly less decline in mental capacity than those who didn‘t.‖可知,咖啡可以降低老化引起的智力衰退的速度。故选B。35. C [精析] 推断题。由文章最后一句―We still have to test our suppositions in controlled conditions, and measure the effects of coffee and tea on various systems of the body.‖可知,我们要对这些假设在可控环境下进行测试,并测量咖啡和茶对人体各系统的影响,由此可推断出饮食习惯与长期健康的关系还是要进一步进行试验,故选C。PART B 参考译文詹尼弗:在关于网上购物是最新、最轻松购物方式的文中,你提到,电脑迟早会取代购物中心是因为它们使购物更快、更便宜。但是你有没有想过购物的主要目的是边买一些必要的物品边和朋友们一起度过休闲时光。购物不仅仅是一项要求速度的任务。实际上,它是一种完整的生活方式。保罗:我是一名收藏爱好者,我喜欢收藏所有稀有物品,如绝版书籍和古董。在实体商店购物就像是环球旅行,需要花费很多年的时间。我在eBay上只要花几个小时就能找到同样的东西,而且经常还能得到非常便宜的价格。我非常富有,但是几乎不在普通商店消费,我身边也有很多跟我一样的朋友和熟人。迈克:我的妻子经常上网购物。我没有听过她有抱怨或不满意。她在决定要买什么东西以后,在网上比较不同店家的价格。购买的物品会快递到家,节省了很多时间和油费。如果我需要什么东西,我就会先在网上看它的价格,再决定去商店还是网上购买。网络购物大多数时候还是有很大优势的。亨利:几乎所有的网上商店都要注册,但是我不想去记用户名和密码。只有在当地商店买不到的情况下我才会上网购物。即使网上购物运输很快,我也宁愿开车穿过城镇,付更高的价格,只为能在当天就把东西买回家。其实大多数时候,店里和网上的价格没什么区别。杰夫:如果你认为一件物品商店的价格和网上的价格相同,那么你就选错网店了。我是一个网购达人,我总是能在购买昂贵商品时省下一笔不小的费用。因为有一点研究经验,我在过去几年很轻松地节省下了几千美元。除些之外,大多数物品的快递费用是合理的,99.9%的时候都不用交税。36. D [精析] 主旨题。詹尼弗认为购物的主要目的是边买一些必要的物品边和朋友们一起度过休闲时光,与D项“购物不仅仅是一项必要的任务,而且还是一种社交乐趣”观点相符,故选D。37.

E [精析] 主旨题。保罗是一名收藏爱好者,他认为网络购物比实体店购物省时、省钱并能满足他的收藏爱好,与E项“网络购物帮助他满足他的特殊购买需求”观点相符,故选E。38.

C [精析] 主旨题。迈克的购物观点是他比较网上和实体店的价格,再做选择,与C项“依据适合原则在网上和实体店来回切换”观点相符,故选C。39. A [精析] 主旨题。亨利的购物观点是只有实体店买不到的情况下他才会网上购物,与A项观点相符,故选A。40. G [精

析] 主旨题。杰夫认为网上购物要做一些调研,找到合适的商家,能节省很多一,与G项“如果选对网店,网上购物可以节省一大笔钱”观点相符,故选G。PART C 参考译文埃菲透过窗口笑着问道:“今天要苹果吗?”我跟着她走到她的货车旁,买了一公斤苹果。当然是记账,(41)当时金钱是我在这个世界上唯一缺少的东西。她爬上货车,说:“什么时候付我钱都可以。”当我们的资金、食物和燃料下降到警戒点时,所有的开支都要降低。埃菲经常过来,还经常带一些礼物:一罐水蜜桃或一些柴火。她还做过一些善举,我们的孩子有些问题,埃菲就出路费让我的妻子去纽约找专家咨询。(42)埃菲并不是一个有钱人。她的收入来源于她投资的一家室内装饰店,一个月也不会超过200美金,因此她靠卖苹果来补给。但是她总是帮助更贫困的人。早在多年前,我就有能力还清埃菲时不时接济我的钱。她现在生病了,去年衰老得很快。我说:“亲爱的,这是我欠你的钱。”她说:“不要一次性还给我,(43)就像我给你时一样,一次还一点给我。”我认为她相信慢慢还清爱的债务是有一种魔力。事实是,我永远也无法还清她的债务了,因为她几周之后就过世了。(44)现在,埃菲给我的钱已经翻了许多倍。但是奇怪的事情开始发生了。无论何时,当我看见有人遇到经济困难时,我就会去帮助他。我没有能力总是这样做,但是在埃菲死后的十年里,我通过这种方式间接地还清了欠她的债。整个事情中最奇怪的是,我帮助过的人之后也会帮助别人。(45)在那时,我的债务似乎永远也处理不完。因此账目也永远不能结清,因为埃菲的爱会永远持续在那些不认识她的人的心中。41.E [精析] 前文提到“on credit”赊账,说明作者没有钱,E项“Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then.”意义“金钱是我当时唯一缺少的东西”,可承接前后文,故选E。42.C [精析] 第三段说明埃菲的收入来源,她的收入来源于她投资的一家室内装饰店,一个月也不会超过200美金,因此她靠卖苹果来补给。因此此处应填总结性语句“Effie was not a rich woman.”,故选C。43.G [精析] 根据前文“Don't give it to me all at once,”判断,埃菲不让作者一次性还清,应该是一次还一点“Give it back as I gave it to you--a little at a time”符合题意,故选G。44.F [精析] 根据前一句“The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later.”可知,作者没还清埃菲的钱,埃菲就已经过世了。综观各选项,只有F 项“当年埃菲给作者的钱现在已经翻了许多倍”能承接上下文,故选F。45.A [精析] 根据前文,作者去帮助经济困难的人当作间接还埃菲的债,但是被帮助过的人同样去帮助别人,A项“作者的债似乎永远也解决不完”能承接上下文,故选A。PART D 参考译文节假日和家人一起出游是一种特别的体验,但是许多家长(46)选择待在家的原因是因为旅行花费较多。以下是一些减少你的旅行(47)费用的方法。坐飞机是到达目的地的一种快速方式,但是如果全家人购买机票的话会大大增加旅行的费用。通常,(48)如果汽车可以承载的话,开车旅行会更便宜,(49)特别是最近油价也下降了。如果你的目的地太远,开车无法到达时,你应该查看各个航班时间的(50)选择性。例如,圣诞节当天的航班要比节前几天的航班便宜。同样,(51)乘坐早班机要比高峰期出行班机便宜。(52)在旅途间吃饭也会增加旅行成本,途中在杂货店准备自己的食物(53)替代会更便宜。如果你们计划外食,那么在酒店吃早餐或午餐会比较便宜,(54)允许你避开收费高的晚餐。另外,去费用全包的度假酒店也会比较便宜。这些度假酒店包括所有餐食和一系列活动,其中许多度假酒席还有儿童活动,所以孩子在旅行中能(55)保持开心。46.D [精析] 根据句意可知,此处缺少谓语动词,并且此谓语动词又能与to do搭配。综观各选项,只有choose“选择”符合题意,故选D。47.G [精析] 上文提到一些人不去旅行的原因是费用高,所以此处应为减少旅行费用。Expenses 意为“花费”,符合句意,故选G。48.B [精析] 空格前后都是一个完整的句子,因此空格处应填一个连词。根据上下文关系,此处应为条件从句,if“如果”可连接前后句子,故选B。49.F [精析] 此句表示强调,用especially“特别,尤其”接介词短语,符合句意,故选F。50.J [精析] 根据前后文,此处应填名词,此句

句意为“有各种航班时间的选择”。Option为名词,意为“选择”,符合句意,故选J。51.L [精析] 根据句意可知,此处应为动名词短语作主语。综观各选项,只有take符合句意,帮用take动名词taking与“early morning flight”搭配作主语,故选L。52.O [精析] 根据句意可知,此处应填引导时间状语的连词,表示“当你在旅行途中”。While符合句意,故选O。53.H [精析] 前文提到旅行途中外食费用高,可以计划在杂货店停留,购买食物,这样会便宜很多,前后是相反对比的情况下,用instead,故选H。54.A [精析] 根据后面的to do结构,此处应填动词,另外此动词又要是分词形式作状语,只有allowing合适,故选A。55.K [精析] 根据句意,此处应为谓语动词,位于情态动词can后面应用原型,只有stay“保持”符合句意,故选K。第四部分写作Part A 56.【高分范文】Dear Paul, As you know, during this summer vacation, I‘ve taken a part-time job as a waiter in ABC restaurant. Most of the time, I was asked to serve customers, including placing orders, cleaning the table, etc. The restaurant is well decorated and the environment is very comfortable. In addition, the co-workers there are easy-going. The most important thing I learn from being a waiter is that you need to be patient and nice to customers. Did you do something exciting this summer? Tell me about it. I‘m looking forward to seeing you soon. Yours Sincerely, Wang Lin 【写作点金】此篇属应用文文体,是电子邮件。首先应该注意电子邮件的格式,其次注意写信人与收信人之间的关系,最后要注意正文部分的写作层次。根据题目要求,正文部分应按照提示分三个层次来写。文章的开头要介绍工作内容,其次介绍工作环境和同事,最后要说明从这份工作中学习到的内容。同时,最后注意结尾和落款。【高频词句】As you know 如你所知be asked to do sth 被要求做某事In addition 另外,此外look forward to doing 期待做某事Part B 57.【高分范文】Lori Schneider, a 53-year-old woman, is the first person with multiple sclerosis to scale the highest mountains on the Seven Summits. It‘s actually a difficult thing, even for a healthy man. How on earth did she overcome fear? Firstly, we should learn to calm down while meeting some urgent situations. Fear may bring physical and mental torture. If we are in panic, the chance of success will slip away. Secondly, it‘s important to know certain ways to conquer fear. Psychological hint is a good way. Just as Lori Schneider did, you can repeat to yourself ―Don't let fear in.‖Finally, we should think over the situation. Asking for help may be beneficial. Of course, most of the time we must depend on ourselves. In a word, we should have a strong mental quality to conquer fear. We need learn to be stronger. 【写作点金】这是一篇总结文章观点并表达自己观点的作文。首先要明确题目的要求:总结文章内容,再表达自己的观点。这就要求考生首先要总结文章的大意,然后在抓住中心思想的基础上提出自己的观点。在总结观点时候,要简明扼要;在表达自己观点的时候,要条理清晰,分点叙述。【高频词句】On earth 到底,终究calm down 冷静In panic 恐慌slip away 溜走Depend on 依靠于,取决于in a word 总的来说

The Princess of Cambridge has finally been revealed to the world as Charlotte Elizabeth Dianain a touching nod to her grandfather, her grandmother and her great-grandmother. The name has long tradition which can be traced hack to the royal background. Charlotte, derived from French name, pays tribute to her grandfather, prince of Wales.

Kensington Palace revealed the royal baby's full name yesterday after days of speculation and close friends of Princess Diana immediately said the choice means the spirit of Prince William's beloved mother 'lives on'.

Within minutes of the name being announced this afternoon, Diana's closest friend Rosa Monckton said: "Diana's spirit lives on in her sons, and now her name lives on in her granddaughter 'Charlotte Elizabeth Diana'.

全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级笔译实务模拟试题

全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级笔译实务模拟试题 Part 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET (60 points, 100 minutes). I leave the vault, and as the guard closes the door, a marine archaeologist asks if I want to see anything else. As an example he shows me an astrolabe, a navigation tool that preceded the sextant. Few have survived. "We have three of the oldest known," he says. He directs me to a paper on astrolabes written by a Cuban colleague, who quoted a 16th-century instruction: "He who wants to take the sun with an astrolabe at sea, must be seated near the main mast, the place where the boat oscillates the least and is quiet." I want to take the measure of Cubas past, so I tell the archaeologist I would like to go to the place where the plain things are. I am here not only to see treasures that glitter but also to see and touch objects that illumine moments of the past. Smiling, he takes me into storage rooms where he and other archaeologists preserve cargoes from four centuries of wrecks. Jumbled on these shelves is the stuff of Cubas long reign as counting house and command center for Spains New World colonies. I see knickknacks destined for one of the annual 18th-century trade fairs, where Cubans bought imports from Spain. I also see, pallid from centuries in the sea, dozens of little painted ceramic dogs, lions, cats, and deer later shipped from England. Stacked nearby are sets of dinner dishes, tankards, an hourglass, a bottle of very Old Spanish wine. On another day, in fading light, I walk the ramparts of El Morro, its lighthouse standing tall over Havanas harbor. The old fortress, by day a warren of tourist stops, changes by night, looming deeper into the shadows of Havanas past. As torches light the darkness, I watch Cuban soldiers, costumed as 18th-century Spanish sentries, march along the ramparts of the Castillo de San Carlos and fire a cannon that salutes

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said. The issue has divided Chinese netizens, as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but "empty talk. "

Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B,C, or Don your ANSWER SHEET 1. Text Most 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 may 38 , 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.

But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.

2007年3月公共英语考试三级模拟试题一及答案(2)

2007年3月公共英语考试三级模拟试题一及答案(2) Section Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Part A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets. Text 1 After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement. If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep! 46 A good title for this passage is ____. A. Sleep C. Dreams B. Good Health D. Work and Rest 47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.
