三级英语阅读习题必看英语三级试题:阅读理解I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling.I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents.You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look atthe present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way ofshowing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly ontheir own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another s hands forreassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the sameclothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow theyall end uphuddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking oracting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come outof their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against thepopularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmlycarved out ateenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements whata teenager should have and be. And many of today s parents have come to awardhigh marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a greatbarrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. Youmay want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may wantto collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have somethoughts that you don t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go toit. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respectyou for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.1.In this passage, the author wants to tell ________.A.teenagers to try to pursue their real selvesB.readers to try to be popular with people aroundC.parents to try to control and guide their childrenD.people to try to understand and respect each other2.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________.A.growing away from their parentsB.following the popularity trendC.walking a new way on their ownD.turning to their friends for help3.The phrase “larger cocoon” at the end of the second paragraph refers to________.A.the distractive and variable societyB.the dazzling music worldC.the parental care and loveD.the popularity wave in the society4.What does the author think of advertisementsA.Convincing.B.Instructive.C.Influential.D.Authoritative.5.According to the author, what might happen when a teenager stands upagainst the popularity wave and follows his/her own pathA.He/She falls behind the time.B.He/She loses good friends.C.He/She faces all kinds of criticism.D.He/She gains valuable popularity.大学英语三级考试阅读理解模拟题One of the most commonly-held beliefs regarding health andnutrition in theUK has been found to be untrue, according to a new scientific study. For many years British people have been __1__ to eat at least five- a-day– that is five items of fruit or vegetables every day__2__ improvetheir healthand __3__ the likelihood of illness, __4__ cancer.The recommendation was first __5__in 1990 by the World Health Organizationwhich said that the five-a-day diet could __6__ cancer and other chronicdiseases.__7__ the advice has been a mainstay (支柱) of public healthpolicies in manydeveloped countries, such as the UK, __8__ the population eat ahigh__9__ ofjunk food.Many health campaigns have __10__ the advice, and indeed much food packaging in Britain states how the __11__ will constitute part ofyour five-a-day._12___, a study of 500,000 Europeans from 10 different countries refutes(驳斥) the commonly-believed __13__ that up to 50% of cancers couldbe preventedby _14___ the public s consumption of fruit and vegetables.Instead the study, which is _15__ by researchers from a well-respected NewYorkmedical school, __16__ that only 2.5% of cancers could be averted by eatingmore fruit and vegetables.It seems that the __17__ to avoiding cancers is to have an overall healthylifestyle __18__ includes not smoking or drinking a lot of alcohol, takingexercise and avoiding obesity (肥胖症).But medical charities have spoken out to __19__ people that diet is animportant factor in staying healthy, and that even a 2.5% reduction __20__cancers is still a positive step.1A. compelledB. recommendedC. proposedD. required2A. in order toB. such thatC. as toD. so that3A. declineB. undermineC. destroyD. reduce4A. in essenceB. in totalC. in particularD. in depth5A. put acrossB. put downC. put forwardD. put up6A. preventB. checkC. escapeD. avoid7A.

Butwhen British people say that their society is based onfamily life, they are thinking of family in itsnarrow, peculiarly Europeansense of mother, father and children living together in their own houseas aneconomic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginningof a new and in-dependent family--hence the tremendous importance of marriage inBritish life. For both man andwoman, marriage mean s leaving one’s parents andstarting one’s own life. The man’s first duty willthen be to hiswife, and thewife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport,and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their commonresponsibilityand their alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, northeir brothers or sisters, aunts oruncles, have any right tointerfere withthem-they are their own masters.Readers of novels likeJane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that informer times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’sparents, that is, it was the parents duty tofind a suitable husband for theirdaughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement tolead himeventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl wasprotected andmaintained in the parents home, and the financial relief ofgetting rid of her could be seen in theirgiving the newly marriedpair a sum ofmoney called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today.Most girls of today get ajob when they leave school and become financially independent before theirmarriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her ownhusband, and shegets no dowry. Everycoin has two sides; independence for girls is no exception.But it may be a good thing for all of thegirls, as their social status are muchhigher and they are no longer the subordinate(部下,下级) oftheir parents andhusbands.46. What does the author mean by Family is of course an elastic word[A]Different families have different ways of life.[B]Different definitions could be given to the word.[C]Different nations have different families.[D]Different times produce different families.47. For an English family, the husband’s du ty is________[A]supporting the family while the wife is working out[B]defending the family while the wife is running the home[C]providing financial support while the wife is running the home[D]independent while his wife is also independent48. Everything is decided in a family________[A]by the couple[B]with the help of their parents[C]by brothers and sisters[D]with the help of aunts and uncles49. What is TRUE conceming the book Pride and Prejudice[A]It is the best book on marriage.[B]It is a handbook on marriage.[C]It gives some idea of English social life in the past.[D]It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.50.

What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon?I, n aturally, should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of dark ness. You, too, would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you in the night that loomed (降临)before you.I should want to see the people whose kindn ess and gen tle ness and compa nion ship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tendern ess and patie nce with which she accomplished the difficult task of my educati on.I should like to see in her eyes that stre ngth of character which has en abled her to sta nd firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so ofte n.Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just 3 days!1.

Stude nts are also less prepared to tolerate poor quality livi ng con diti ons tha n their predecessors, says the survey by British polling organization Mori.More tha n 1,000 full-time un dergraduates and postgraduates from 21 uni versities across the UK were surveyed for the research. It shows that location is the key factor in choos ing accommodati on for stude nts ——n early half of those in terviewed said that being close to their place of study was the most importa nt factor in their choice. Cost came second, with evidence that many parents foot the bills for their children ' rent. The survey also shows that stude nts are no Ion ger prepared to carry bags of wash ing to the nearest launderette (自动洗衣店).These newcomers expect washers and dryers to be provided with their accommodation. The study also highlights those things today's students expect as standard ——communal (公共的)areas to cleaned regularly, utility bills to be in cluded, even private car park ing space to be in cluded.

UK university students pay less and less attention to their studiesVoters in California will decide Tuesday whether to remove Governor Gray Davis from office. If he is recalled (罢免), public opinion studies show the leading candidate to replace him is actor Arnold Schwarzenegger.Yet the two men are not really opponents on the ballot (投票选举) Tuesday. Mister Davis is the only name on the first question. Voters are asked to decide if the governor should stay in office or be recalled. He needs fifty-percent of the votes plus one to stay. The second question asks voters who support the recall to choose a replacement. 135 candidates are lists. One of them is Mister Schwarzenegger. Another is Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante. He is considered the leading Democratic candidate. If Mister Davis is recalled, the candidate with the most votes will become governor. Republicans worry that another Republican on the ballot, state Senator Tom McClintock, could take votes away from Mister Schwarzenegger. Mister McClintock, however, was refusing to withdraw. Republican Congressman Darryl Issa financed the recall effort. He said he would urge people to vote “no”on the recall unless one of the Republicans withdrew to avoid splitting the vote.Opinion studies show that a majority of Californians want to recall Governor Davis. Many people say they are unhappy with the way he has dealt with a budget crisis.Critics of the recall effort say it is an undemocratic way to try to remove an elected governor from office. Mister Davis is in his second term. He says the recall is a Republican effort to seize power in California and possibly other states.18 of the 50 states permit special elections to recall the governor. 6 of those states say the governor must be guilty of some wrongdoing. California is not one of them. It has some of the easiest rules for recall elections.11. According to public opinion studies, who is most likely to replace Governor Gray Davis asthe new governor?A.

Argentine President Nestor Kirchner announced the deal Wednesday in Buenos Aires. The agreement is designed to help the country recover from its worst economic crisis.The three-year agreement will refinance 21,000 million dollars of debt owed to international lenders.

The IMF had demanded that Argentina pay private banks for money lost during the economic crisis at the end of 2001. The crisis led the government to devalue (贬值) the peso (比索). The IMF had also demanded that Argentina permit private utility companies to increase their rates. The agreement does not include either of these demands.IMF Managing Director Horst Koehler said the agreement is designed to help Argentina meet goals for growth, employment and social equity (平等). He said it also would help the country 's banking system and increase lending needed to support recovery.The country 's economic troubles were largely caused by too much spending by the government.

She writes, “I could hardly breathe. Gulping for air, I started crying and yelling at him. What do you mean? What are you saying? Why did you lie to me? I was furious and getting more so by the second. He just stood there saying over and over again, I 'm sorry. I 'm so sorry. I was trying to protect you and Chelsea, referring to their daughter. ” Mrs. Clinton says she hopes that people will read the book for more than intimate details of her troubled marriage. “It 's a pretty long book, and it 's about my life, and it 's about all of the issues that I 've worked on, particularly on behalf of women and children, and things that I 've cared about literally since I was a littlegirl, ”she said. “I think it will give people more insight and, perhaps, answer questions.

But they say it is part of a distinct sub-group of corona viruses that do not have the same properties as the ordinary cold.World Health Organization virologist (病毒学家) Klaus Stohr said that with the identification of this corona virus, it could now be possible to develop more specific diagnostic tests for the disease.“Now the research can be focused on this virus. The research will help us to develop new drugs, ”he said. “Now we can focus on one pathogen (病原体) which ahs been sequenced, which provides additional information for the development of tests. Now, one can perhaps think about a vaccine (疫苗) if need be. We are still, I think, optimistic that we can control the disease with the measures which have been implemented. ” SARS is spread by droplets through close personal contact. Symptoms include high fever, a dry cough and shortness of breath. About 4% of its victims die. The scientists say this virus has long existed in nature, but it has never been seen in humans before. They say a new genetic sequencing of the SARS virus proves conclusively that it came from animals. A scientist at the US Center forDisease Control, James Le Duc, says this is the first experience scientists have with this virus. “Therefore, ”he says, “a lot remains unknown. So, I think it would be premature to suggest we are near the end of this outbreak.”1.

Which of the following statements about SARS is TRUE according to the passage? A. a person who suffers from high fever, dry cough and shortness of breath is sure to be infected with SARS B. scientists have a lot of experience in dealing with the SARSvirus C. most of the SARS patients will die within 5 weeks D. the SARS virus is still a little mysterious to the scientists5.

Danish Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen says the result of the Swedish vote will have no effect on his plans to decide by early next year on whether to call a new referendum (公民投票) on the euro. Denmark voted no in2000.British Labor Party member Chris Bryant, who is chairman of the Labor Movement for Europe, says that more than half of Britain 's trade is with Europe, and he hopes Britain will be joining the euro as soon as possible. British Prime Minister Tony Blair had said previously his government is committed in principle to joining the euro, provided that economic conditions are right.In Sweden, meanwhile, euro opponents have hail ed the defeat of the single currency. The leader of the Left Party, Ulla Hoffman, said the people have made it clear democracy comes from the bottom, not from above. The Left Party, along with the environmentalist Greens, fought against the euro. But Prime Mimister Goran Persson, who led the movement for the euro, saidSweden would have worse opportunities without the common currency in the long term.Euro supporters say it would have improved trade with the 12-nation zone that uses the euro, and that a no vote would leave Sweden without a voice in EU economic decisions. Critics said the euro would mean higher prices and less money for Sweden's cradle-to-grave welfare state.6. Among the following persons, who is a euro opponent according to the passage?A. Chris BryantB. Tony BlairC. Ulla HoffmanD. Goran Persson7. What does a yes vote of common currency mean in the opponents 'eyes?A. Sweden will have worse opportunitiesB.
