Text If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and 26 in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually 27 asleep. When you wake up, you don' t feel 28 , but tired and worn out and 29 to face a new day. Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article 30 Stress and Sleep, 31 that stress and lack of sleep are directly 32 . Dr. Winkle says, "the more we worry, the 33 we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with 34 If we can find a way to get a good night' s sleep," he 35 ,"we can often find the 36 to deal with what' s worrying us. " So, what is a good night' s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy 37 a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, 38 strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache 39 of making you feel more refreshed. Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short 40 and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise 41 in the day should help you to feel physically as well as 42 tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine(咖啡因) and will keep you. 43 .

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Text 1 An embarrassing experience It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question ,"have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness, "Yes, hundreds of times. " "And you have nothing to declare?""Nothing. " "How long have you been out of this country?""About three months. " "And during that time you have acquired nothing?""Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. "He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected. "Where did you get that watch?" I could have kicked myself. Two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey. I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement. "It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?" It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage. 46. When did the writer arrive at London airport? [A] In the early morning. [B] Late at night. [C] At noon. [D] Late in the morning. 47. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer? [A] He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions. [B] He must have noticed the writer's ugly watch. [C] He wanted to embarrass the writer. [D] He must have noticed the writer's tiredness. 48. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market? [A] He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex. [B] He found the watch useful though it was very cheap. [C] He didn't like the watch at all. [D] He was indifferent to the watch. 49. What must have happened to the writer in the end? [A] He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment. [B] He must have been given a fine as a punishment. [C] His Rolex must have been confiscated. [D] His cheap watch must have been confiscated. 50. What do you think is the tone of the story? [A] Humorous. [B] Sarcastic. [C] Solemn. [D] Matter-of-fact. Text 2 You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life. What if you say it first and your partner doesn' t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don't feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(紧张) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn' t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first? "A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal. " All relationships go through power struggles but, he says ,if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of ' I' ve always loved you more' may be subverted(*，破坏) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(⼤声争吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings," says educational psychologist lngrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ' I love you' first may also be the one who says ' I' m bored with you' first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it."Is it said when they' re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is ' Please don' t be unfaithful to me' ? By saying I love you' ,they really say' Do you love me?' If so, wouldn' t it just be more honest to say that?" Collins agrees that intention is everything."It' s not what is said, but how it' s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. "51. What is the main idea of this passage? [A]The importance of "I love you" [B]The meaning of "I love you" [C]The time of saying "I love you" [D]The place of saying "I love you" 52. In the first sentence the author means that__________. [A]it is easy to say "I love you" [B]it is hard to say "I love you" [C]we have many troubles in our life [D]people usually do not know when to say "I love you" 53. According to the expert, a good relationship should be__________. [A]fair and equal [B]fair and kind [C]powerful and equal [D]confident and fair 54. In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means__________. [A]being low in spirit [B]having only one hand [C]being active [D]being passive 55. What is the most important for you to consider when somebody says "I love you" to you? [A]The intention. [B]The place. [C]The time. [D]The determination. Text 3 At the European Commission in Brussels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do-"Languages", they say, "have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. "Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere linguistic ability. To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpreters' associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting organization' s own school, or on a post graduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job .At London' s University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter' s course if they can show that they have "lived a bit", in the words of one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life. The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament (裁军) on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday ,multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday. Interpreters also rely on adrenaline(肾上腺素)--which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job--to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it' s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working. It' s also a job with its own risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of international diplomacy, like the U. N. 56. According to the passage, what does the underlined phrase "lived a bit "mean? [A]To be older than others. [B]To travel to more countries. [C]To have abundant life experience. [D]To have longer training in interpreting. 57. Candidates for the training course in London' s University of Westminster need the following qualifications EXCEPT [A]having wide cultural interests [B]having a good knowledge of current affairs [C]being familiar with the languages they translate [D]being eloquent lecturers 58. The interpreters rely on adrenaline because [A]it can help finish their work quickly [B]it can make them excited [C]it can prevent them from heart disease [D]it can make them work harder 59. According to the passage, we can infer that [A]language has nothing to do with interpreting [B]only those postgraduates from the foreign language universities can work as interpreters [C]interpreters must live in the country where the required language is spoken [D]interpreters build the bridge for international communication 60. The job as an interpreter has the following characteristics EXCEPT [A]funny [B]intrepid [C]dangerous sometimes [D]excitingPart B Directions:The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers' Union went on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity.

下半年公共英语三级考试阅读理解练习题 2016下半年公共英语三级考试阅读理解练习题 距离2016公共英语三级级考试还有三个月的时间，为了帮助广大考生更好地练习阅读部分，应届毕业生网店铺为大家提供了基础阅读练习。大家可以多加练习。 第三部分：阅读理解 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的`) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he. Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional (传统的) practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs (习惯), of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age. 36.In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____. A. personal experience B. wild weeds among good plants C. the information from the parents D. the vast store of traditional practices 37. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage? A. The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass B. Craftsman's experience is usually unscientific C. The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student 38. From this passage we can infer that ______. A. we'll invite the craftsman to teach in the college B. schools and books are not the only way to knowledge C. scientific discoveries late based on personal experience D. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a college student 39. The author advises the college student to ______ . A. be contemptuous to the craftsman B. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms C. learn the craftsman's experience by judging it carefully D. gain the craftsman's experience without rejection 40. The main idea of this passage is about ________. A . what to learn from the parents B. how to gain knowledge C. why to learn from craftsman D. how to deal with experience B Water, water every where. It lasted almost two months , but in August it ended. It left 45 people dead and $10 billion worth of damage in nine states of USA. It was quite a big Mississippi flood ever recorded. In St.Louis, Missouri, 9,000 people were forced to leave their homes while the city was in danger. St. Louis is just downriver from the points where the Missouri and Illinois Rivers flow into the Mississippi. All three rivers were flooding. But the city escaped the worst when levees (堤) broke upriver. A levee is built of river sand and clay(粘土). Eleven miles of flood walls were built in the late 1960's The walls are 18 inches thick and 5 to 22 feet high. They were designed to protect against a 52-foot flood. In St. Louis, water almost reached the top of flood walls. It measured 49.4 feet. 41.The flood referred to in the passage _____. A. was the heaviest one in the history B. happened in Missouri and Illinois states C. happened in less than twenty percent of the states of U.S.A. D. was recorded several times 42. The meaning of the sentence "But the city escaped the worst" is that _____. A. many people escaped from the city B. the flood attacked the city heavily C. the flood did not attack the city at all D. the city avoided the worst situation

Secretary-General, he or she would look sonething like this: African born; European and American educated, with decades of service in the U.N. system; married to a European; and possessing a quiet charisma and calm authority as chaos arises.That the U.N. in 1996 found such a person to restore its sense of direction and purpose was a near miracle. But out of the U.N.’s failures in Bosnia, Somalia and Rwanda came Kopi Annan, the career international civil servant who had participated in these disasters yet somehow survived and learned from them.Today Annan is in the middle of his second term. His task is not finished, and the U.N. is still far from what it should be. But Annan has tested the limits of the job, accumulating more authority-one cannot use the word power, given the constraints the U.N. system places on him-than any of his predecessors.His complex relationship with the U.S. government is little understood. When Annan takes positions in public that are displeasing to the bush administration, it unleashes its attack dogs. Yet when administration officials found their policies in Iraq floundering, they asked the U.N. for help. Some observers told Annan that he should responsibility was to the cause of stabilizing Iraq. He began to work toward the decisive date of June 30, when the u.s. will hand over control to Iraqi authoritiesand an uncertain situation will prevail determined by factors way beyond his, or anyone else’s, ability to control. But it is Annan’s destiny to be handed the very worst problems after they have been unsuccessfully addressed by others. Anyone who knows him knows he wades into such problems with his usual blend of courage, self-control, modesty and optimism.参考译文：如果让电脑来设计一个完美的联合国秘书长，他/她应该是这样的：出生在非洲;在欧洲和美国接受教育;在联合国工作十年以上;配偶是欧洲人;出现混乱局面时能保持冷静、富有领导魅力的权威人士。

They settled in at a comfortable East Side cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.“Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?” the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. “I’m from Mississippi too.”Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.“They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,”Welty said. “I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.”Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their BigApple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion (团聚).“My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’” W elty added. “And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’”Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.“I don’t make them up,” she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. “I don’t have to.”Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.3、阅读理解细节理解题1.

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. 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. But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment. 26. [A]for [B]in [C]to [D] of 27.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets. Text I Fifteen 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.

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 ________.
