2012年6月浙江省大学英语三级考试真题Part I Listening Comprehension (30 marks, 30 minutes)Part II Reading Comprehension (40 marks, 40 minutes)Section ADirections: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A).B), C) and D) You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 31-35 are based on the following passage;An American researcher has developed a simple device to help stop snoring.(打鼾). The device restricts the movements of the tissue(器官组织)that causes the bad sound. Snoring is a common problem. It may prevent a person from getting enough sleep. It may also prevent enough oxygen from reaching heart and lungs during sleep. But for most people, snoring affects relations with another person who must sleep in the same room.Snoring happens when the sleeping person breathes with the mouth open. In the back of the mouth the tissues surrounding the entrance of the throat are soft. As the person breathes, the movement of the air around the soft tissues causes them to move or vibrate. This tissue movement causes the sound we call snoring. A number of possible solutions have been proposed. Some devices keep the mouth shut. They force the patient to breathe only through the nose. A medical operation is also possible. Other devices catch the sound of snoring and then wake the patient. The new anti-snoring device was developed by a dentist（牙医）, George Wagner of the Indian University School of Dentistry. He developed a piece of plastic that fits up against the inside of the mouth. The device keeps the soft tissues from vibrating and making the snoring noise. It is worn only at night. Doctor Wagner said several patients report that the simple device has ended their snoring problem.31. The passage mentions all the bad effects on the snorer EXCEPT__________.A) disturbing his roommate B) his lack of enough sleepC) harming his friendship D) his lack of enough oxygen32. People snore when______.A) they keep their mouths shut B) part of their throat becomes softC) part of their throat moves D) they breathe through mouth and nose33. How many solutions to the problem have been proposed so far?A) Three B) Four C) Five D) Six34. Which of the following statements about the new device is FALSE?A) It is worn at night B) It has not been used by many peopleC) It is made of plastic D) It was developed by a businessman35. What is the most likely place where one can find the passage?A) A novel B) A newspaperC) A textbook D) A scientific journalPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. Slight problems may begin for a man when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman always tries to sell the customer something else---he offers the nearest he can to the article required.Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tellsher, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious(费劲的) process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.36. When man buys clothes,____________.A) they choose things the salesman recommendsB) they buy right size things without trying them onC) they buy good quality things without a second considerationD) they do not mind how much they have to pay for the right things37. What is the man’s concern in terms of the fit of new clothes?A) They do not worry whether a thing fits well or notB) They make sure what fits before going shoppingC) They like their clothes to be bigger than the average sizeD) They often have no particular size in mind before going to the shop38. What does the passage tell us about women shopping for clothes?A) They listen to advice but never take itB) They often do not have a clear aim in mindC) They rarely consider buying cheap clothesD) They welcome suggestions from anyone around39. It is implied in the passage that women__________.A) like to buy cheap clothesB) always buy good quality clothes regardless of the priceC) tend to waste money on clothes which they don’t really wantD) think more of the price of clothes than of their colors and sizes40. Which of the following indicates the difference between men and women shoppers?A) Men do not try clothes on while women doB) Men do not spend as much time on buyingC) Women tend to be more talkative than menD) Women buy what they need but men do notPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:If you’ve been on campus for very long, I’m certain that you’ve already heard about this course. You may know that last term about fifty percent of the students who selected my course failed it. Let me explain how this came about before you jump to any conclusions. In the first place, since this is a composition class, I expect my students to follow certain rules of formality（形式）.Unfortunately, students today dislike having to follow rules of any kind, especially those which they may feel to be unnecessary. For example, I ask that each of your papers be typed. I count off points for various kinds of mistakes. A misspelled word will cost you 5 points. You’ll lose 25 points if you misspell five words. If you write an incomplete sentence, you’ll lose 10 points. If you give me two complete sentences as one without adequate punctuation(标点)，you’ll lose 15 points. I do not accept late papers. You will receive a zero for any theme(习作) which you fail to submit on time. I expect you to read each assignment. To make certain that you have read the assignment, I will give you a short unannounced quiz from time to time. This class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. You will have a total of six major tests throughout the semester. Your final grade will be based on an average of these major tests and eight written themes. If you have any questions at any time, you can see me on Tuesdays. My office is on the second floor of this building. Your assignment for Wednesday is to read Hemingway’s short story on Page 55. Friday will be the last class day of this week, so you can expect to write a short in-class theme for me then.41. The course mentioned by the teacher is on______.A) reading B) assignmentsC) spelling D) writing42. When was this lecture given?A) On Monday B) On WednesdayC) On Thursday D) On Friday43. How many points will a student lose if he misspells 3 words and writes 2 incomplete sentences on a theme?A) 25 B) 35 C) 40 D) 4544. During the term the students are required to_________.A) write eight themes B) read Hemingway’s short storiesC) follow the rules of the school D) take six major tests and eight quizzes45. If the students have any questions, they may consult the teacher______.A) three times a week B) at any appointed timeC) in his office on Tuesdays D) before or after class on TuesdaysSection BDirections:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Wise buying is a positive way in which you can make your money go further. The way you go about purchasing an article or a service can actually 46 you money or can add to the cost. Take the 47 example of a hairdryer. If you are buying a hairdryer, you might think that you are making the 48 buy if you choose one whose look you like and which is also the cheapest 49 price. But when you get it home you may find that it takes twice as long as more expensive 50 to dry your hair. The cost of the electricity plus the cost of your time could well make your hairdryer the most expensive one of all.So what principles should you 51 when you go out shopping? If you keep your home, your car or any valuable 52 in excellent condition, you’ll be saving money in the long run. Before you buy a new 53, talk to someone who owns one. If you can, use it or borrow it to check whether it suits your particular purpose. Before you buyan 54 appliance, or a service, do check the price and what is on offer. If possible, choose55 three items or three estimates.A. possessionB. saveC. bestD. expensiveE. materialF. fromG. simpleH. withI. inJ. wasteK. model L. item M. easy N. adopt O. reasonablePart III Integrated Testing (IS marks, 20 minutes)Section ADirections:There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A). B), C) and D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centerMany people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They are left in the 56 of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their 57 children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any 58__ visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth of an59 story. In fact, family members provide 80 percent of the care 60 elderly people need. Samuel Preston, a sociologist, studied 61 the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the 62 American couple reaches 40 years of age, they have more parents than children 63 .because people today live longer after an illness than people did years 64 , family members must provide long term care. Most psychologists have found that all caregivers 65 a common characteristic: All caregivers believe that they are best 66 for the job . In other words, they all felt that they 67 do the job better than anyone else. Social workers 68 caregivers to find out why they took 69 the responsibility of caring for an elderly relative. Many caregivers believed they had the 70 to help their relatives. Some stated that helping others 71 them feel more useful. Others hoped that by helping 72 now, they would deserve care when they became old and 73 .

React the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2One of Nature's most exciting mysteries is how pigeons find their way home over vast distances.Now German scientists believe they have discovered how the birds do it. Research has revealed that tiny iron structures in their beaks（鸟嘴）allow them toanalyze the earth's magnetic field - much like a compass（罗盘）. Through the signals picked up, the birds can work out where they are and set out on the best course home.As well as pigeons, many other birds display a remarkable ability to fly thousands of miles to return to a specific garden or tree year after year. Scientists are suggesting they may have similar iron- containing cells in their beaks.In the past, experts have suggested the birds use the sun and stars to navigate, although in 2004 researchers found that many follow roads rather than their internal compass to plan their route. However scientists have long believed that they can in some way use the natural magnetism of the earth to navigate. The recent study by German scientists has revealed how this may be possible.The research used X-rays to examine the upper beaks of pigeons. They found that within the skin lining are tiny iron containing particles（微粒）in nerve branches which are arranged in a 3D pattern. The team, led by Gerta Fleissner, concluded that this allows the birds to react to the external magnetic field of the planet and work out their precise location.She pointed out that similar iron containing cells had been found in the beaks of robins, warblers and chickens so it may well turn out to be the way that other species also navigate.Scientists are still discovering more about the incredible abilities of the pigeon. Questions:76. Pigeons find their way home by picking up signals from__________.77. Like pigeons, other birds can return home, because their beaks have__________.78. In 2004 some researchers found that many birds do not __________to plan their route.79. The word “navigate” most probably means___________.80. The German research team was led by___________.Part IV Writing (15 marks, 30 minutes)Directions: write a short essay of about 100 words on the topic Sports and Me.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements for each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneIt is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don't believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts.I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, book-waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn't even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.She was fired and perhaps rightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers who told me soon-forgotten backs but only three who created in me a new attitude and a new hunger. What deathless power lies in the hands of such a person?31、 In the writer's opinion, school life is usually ______.A. excitingB. interestingC. tiresomeD. challenging32、 We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______.A. it is easy to find great artists as well as good teachersB. there are fewer great teachers but many great artistsC. the greatest artists are not easy to find; nor are the greatest teachersD. being a great teacher is a great art to learn because teachers spread knowledge33、 In the writer's opinion, a good teacher should ______.A. teach students the fundamental thingsB. stick to one subject and be strict with studentsC. teach students the knowledge ranging the worldD. arouse students' curiosity and desire to know the world34、 The writer's first teacher was dismissed mainly because ______.A. her class was the noisiest in schoolB. she did not teach basic knowledge in classC. she let the students shout and wave books in classD. she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively35、 What is the best title of this article?A. The Teachers in My LifeB. How to Become A TeacherC. What to teach at SchoolD. What Makes A Good Teacher Passage TwoAccording to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person's thoughts. Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion, positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.36、 We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something ______.A. one feels in dangerB. one faces in the outside worldC. one thinks bad or goodD. one tries to escape from real life37、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Babies are born with emotions.B. Emotions fall into two types in general.C. Children learn emotions as they grow up.D. People learn to cope with the negative emotions in life as they grow up.38、 The author's purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. explain why people have emotionsB. define and classify people's emotionsC. show how people avoid the negative emotionsD. explain what people should do about emotions39、 When a student is too worried about failing in the exam, ______.A. He will simply give upB. He will not be able to think properlyC. He will need extra energyD. He will try very hard to solve problems40、 The word "drains" (Para. 5) means ______.A. tiesB. stopsC. flowsD. weakensPassage ThreeMany a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there's a big difference between "being a writer" and "writing". In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. "You've got to want to write," I say to them, "not want to be a writer".The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由栏目) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41、 The word "prospects" (Para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.A. rich resourcesB. reasonable hopesC. strong desiresD. enormous advantages42、 The writer mentions his 20-year career in the U.

If you live only a few miles 50 a station, you may not get any picture at all.CATV began in 1984. People in places far from TV stations shared the 51 of putting up high antennas. A community antenna was usually placed on a hill, a mountain, or on a high tower. The antenna picked up TV signals and fed them into a small local station. From the station thick wires called cables ran out to nearby homes. Each person using the cable paid a monthly 52 .CATV worked well, and soon new uses were found 53 it. Local stations could feed programs into 54 channels that were not in use. People along the cable could have local news, weather reports, and farm and school news at no 55 charge.Today, cable television has moved into cities.

Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.The advantages of some form of international language in the modern world are obvious. Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more easily and more quickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise and there can be no real contact between people of different nationalities.There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the existing major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple because no existing major language will be acceptable to everyone and because an artificial language, such as Esperanto, has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners.It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers. But there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language.First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps even domination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and more schools abroad, the process is not always p opular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their education system.Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use throughout the world. It could break up, with languages developing from dialects of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other's English.76、 Why can we travel more easily nowadays?______________________________________________77、 Why is there no real communication between people of different nationalities?______________________________________________78、 Which language is spoken by more people than any other language?______________________________________________79、 Why do many people dislike about English?______________________________________________80、 Why can't Indian teachers and Nigerian students understand each other's English?______________________________________________Part ⅣWriting81、Directions: Some students prefer to start their own business after graduation.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1When Katherine Chon was in fifth grade, she drew a "dream tree" representing the path she hoped her life would take. One branch led to Harvard Medical School, Which is exactly what her mother had hoped for when the Chons moved to the U. S. from South Korea to give their three children opportunities.Always a diligent student, Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown. But then she added a new limb to her dream tree—one that her mother still doesn't understand. Shocked by the misfortune of some South Korean women, Katherine joined forces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project, now one of the largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country. "It was really hard for my parents," says Katherine. "They had so many life stresses so their children could get a great education and have a comfortable life. "The dreams of parents and children often differ, but the conflict can be especially painful in first-generation immigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices. Lisa Park, an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, says that the focus of every family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for their children is almost always on the future, with little mention of the circumstances that compelled them to move. And even though the parents are the ones working 12-hour days, the children are also under intense pressure to perform in ways that will justify the parents' sacrifice.The contrast between parents' dreams and children's realities can be particularly sharp for daughters who have grown up with almost infinite opportunities. Their mothers often came from places whereopportunities for women were limited, which makes the daughters' choices even harder to understand. Mary Lugemwa's parents encouraged her to study math or science at Harvard. She complied at first, majoring in computer science. But she is currently working as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media. "I sometimes feel guilty," she says, "having chosen to be an artist, because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background, I could help my parents a lot more. "46. When Katherine Chon was a fifth-grader, ______.[A] she had a great interest in drawing[B] she had a clear vision of her future[C] she had an independent personality[D] she had a desire to study in the U. S.47. It can be inferred from the text that Katherine's mother______.[A] was disappointed at her daughter's decision[B] was shocked by the suffering of some women[C] failed to give her kids enough opportunities[D] failed to realize her own dream to be a doctor48. According to the text, in first-generation immigrant families, the parents feel frustrated if ______.[A] they fail to adjust to the circumstances[B] they are forced to make great sacrifices[C] their children fail to focus on the future[D] their children develop against their wishes49. According to Lisa Park, first-generation immigrantchildren______.[A] avoid the slightest mention of their parents' past[B] focus on seizing chances for future development[C] work very hard to justify their parents' sacrifices[D] are under pressure to fulfill their parents' dreams50. We learn from Mary Lugemwa's case that______.[A] her parents cherished opportunities more than she did[B] her parents' dreams and her reality could be balanced[C] she had a quite different view of life from her parents[D] she enjoyed infinite opportunities in career developmentText 2Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has launched a new public awareness campaign aimed at Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler. "Enough is Enough" advocates dropping the Criminal Code's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit from 0.08 to 0.05 percent, to "protect innocent drivers on our roads. "MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks that lowering the BAC limit could result in a 6-to-18 percentreduction in crash deaths. But questions have been raised about the science behind that campaign.MADD selectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mannof the Mental Health Centre. Mann, in turn, had got those numbersfrom two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden and Australia. The conclusions in Mann's report seem to ignore the Swedish authors' numerous warnings and cautions, as well as the limitations in the Australian study. First, the Australian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing, not lowered BAC levels, on fatal traffic crashes. Also, that research was started in 1976 when "liquid lunches" were far more common. What's more, theAustralian data varied: whereas the state of Queensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD's Murie, in neighboring New South Wales, fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent.It is also reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers in alcohol-related fatal crashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0.15 percent—meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheel with BAC levels twice the legal limit, not social drinkers who consume a glass of wine or two. This makes MADD's concern seem wasteful, given the downward trend in alcohol-related traffic deaths.The Canada Safety Council, the Canadian Council of MotorTransport Administrators and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD's campaign. Even the Ontario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean more work for police and the courts. But to MADD's Murie, the math question is simple: "If you lower BAC limits, regardless to what level, you'll save Canadian lives. "Unfortunately, the math doesn't quite add up.51. MADD launched a public awareness campaign in order to ______.[A] criticize the Justice Minister[B] improve BAC measurement[C] restrict drivers' access to alcohol[D] revise the law regarding drunk driving52. From the text we learn that MADD cites a report that ______.[A]justifies its new campaign[B] is favored by the authorities[C] sums up major public concerns[D] is mentioned in two other studies53. It is implied in the text that Mann's report is unreliable because______.[A] it was based on some unsound research[B] it got its data from two inconsistent studies[C] it was written in conditions no longer valid[D] it ignored the limitations of the studies cited54. The text indicates that MADD's campaign ______.[A] will not affect social drinkers[B] may turn out to be of little value[C] is going to reduce governmental labor[D] has won support from some organizations55. The writer's attitude towards the campaign is ______.[A] satirical [B] scornful[C] suspicious [D] supportiveText 3A recent study demonstrated how powerful a few words can be:Forty competitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way. Just before each ball appeared, the players saw or heard comments like "Good shot" or "Bad shot. " The reaction times of players hearing negative remarks were measurably slower. And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistent game andnot make unforced errors.What is the explanation? Negative feedback weakens anyone'sbelief in his or her ability to succeed. But if you can hold on to a winning attitude, you'll make a greater effort and also createpositive drive. Confident people inspire others; opportunities seemto come their way more often. They become magnets for success.Learn the importance of giving yourself pep talks, and keep the voice in your head positive. The best athletes' success is rarely due to raw talent alone. It's because they're simply better prepared.They stay focused, they're willing to work as hard as they need to, and they keep the positive voice in their heads switched on.Perhaps the most important aspect of being your own coach is todo what any outside adviser-or a good parent, for that matter—would preach: practice, practice, practice. Avoid individuals who suck your energy and diminish your confidence. Hang out with the people who see you at your best, and remind you about it very often. Pessimists drag you down, as do whiners and critics. If there's one winning behavior that people building confidence should model, it's the willingness to get back into the game after a setback. Don't nurse your wounds.There are, however, important warnings. Panicking can compound a small misstep by causing you to lose your head and forget to think clearly. If you suffer a terrible loss, give yourself time to absorb the blow. Don't deny the hurt or try to solve the problem immediately. Gather your support system around you and simply get nurtured.Sitting around and thinking about your loss is the worst thing youcan do to solve your problem.56. We learn from the first paragraph that ______.[A] excellent performance often goes with well-trained players[B] excellent performance often goes with positive comments[C] high-tech methods help players avoid unforced errors[D] high-tech methods increase players' competitiveness57. People who want to succeed should first imagine themselves to be ______.[A] an observer [B] an inspirer[C] a creator [D] a winner58. The phrase "pep talks" in Paragraph 3 means 'talks' which______.[A] encourage people [B] entertain people[C] impress people [D] interest people59. The writer thinks that you should keep company with those who ______.[A] point out your mistakes[B] tolerate your weaknesses[C] emphasize your strengths[D] understand your complaints60. In the face of a severe loss, the best thing you can do is to ______.[A] deny the hurt [B]try to forget it [C] solve it at once [D] accept it calmlyPart BDirections:Read the texts from a magazine section called "Letters" in which five people commented on a special report on new medicines. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Ann Best:Your special report on new medicines showed there is thrilling promise in future "cures" for so many diseases that threaten mankind. But how will ordinary folks pay for these modern miracles? One drug company is hopeful that the savings involved in developing these medicines "will translate into pure profit for investors. " This can only result in a problem for me: Shall I buy food, pay the rent or get the medicines I need?Tom Waken:As a citizen who has been critical of drug companies because of the high drug price, I found that your report about the new medicines has softened my stand. The companies say they have to charge more for their drugs so they can do research for better medicines. Now thatI've read about the newer and better drugs, I will gladly go on paying for my medications, knowing I am making a good investment in better living.Robert H. Kamm:We all want to live longer and healthier lives, but taking pillsto rescue us from our self-abusive lifestyle only masks real problems and ends up costing us billions of dollars a year. We ought to be investing at least as much in trying to discover why millions of us behave in ways that are not in our best interest—smoking, drinking, overworking, under-exercising and generally doing things that are bad for our health.John J. Bagshaw:The cost of poor health is shocking and goes well beyond dollars. But the approach that offers the best solution, reduces risk, cuts demand and gets people healthy and fit is prevention. The U.S. is a nation of chronic diseases. It will get much worse, because we never deal with the causes. Individual Americans need to bring this issueto a boil and keep it there until we get a health-care system basedon prevention.Laurel Woods:While I applaud the research being done in the field of medicine, I am also aware that good things can go bad in an instant. I have heart disease, and I had a negative reaction to a new treatment: the result was a long hospital stay. We should remember that caution hasto be applied when being treated with a new medicine. Nothing will replace the human element that must be present in a caring medical community.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Prevention should always come before treatment.[B] A new medical treatment needs to be administered with caution.[C] Pills often perform miracles on people who take them.[D] A change of behavior counts more than reliance on drugs.[E] However good the new drugs, their affordability is first and foremost.[F] New drugs should not be put onto the market until proven effective.[G] Drug companies are justified to sell their products at higher prices.61.

The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and parrtner, ED Rickets.I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that three are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mindand spirit.My three teachers han these things in common: They all loved what they were doing; they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation (思绪) ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies (萤火虫).She was fired, and perhaps rightly fightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion (激情) in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers eho told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude a new hunger. What deathless power lies inthe hands of such a person?31. In the writer’s opinion, school life is usually .A) exciting B) interestingC) tiresome D) challenging32.

The writer’s first teacher was dismi ssed mainly bacause .A) her class was the noisiest in schoolB) she did not teach basic knowledge in classC) she let students shout and wave books in classD) she did not know how to teach basic knowledge effectively35. What is the best title of this article?A) The Teachers in My Life B) How to Become a TeacherC) What to Teach at School D) What Makes a Good TeacherPassage TwoQuestions 36-40 based on the following passage:According to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is arouse when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it , we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person’s thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns hoe to act in certainsitudtions bacause of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are tow types of emotion: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight, and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfoed. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness, and disgust. In growing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some string emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try every means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.Strong emotions can make it hard think and to solve problems. They may prevent a personfrom learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that ba cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.36.

When a student is too worried about failing in the exam, .A) he will simply give up B) he will not be able to think properlyC) he will need extra mental energy D) he will try very hard to solve the problems40. The word “drain” (para. 5) most probab ly means .A) ties B) stops C) flows D) weakensPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.

In moet cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write.”I say to them,” not want to be a writer”.The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poorly-paid affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose londing is never reward. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance (自由职业) writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter and felt like a genuine writer.After a yeqr or so, however ,I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to writer, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people whodie wondering: What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.41.

Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more eaily and mor equickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise an there can be no real comminication between people of different nationalities.There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the exisiting major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple beause no exisiting major language, such as Esperanto (世界语), has noliterature and would be thought dull by many learners.It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers, but there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language.First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps evendomination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and school abrosd, the process in not always popular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their educational system.Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use thoughout world. It could break up, with language developing from dialects (方言) of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other’s English.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2作答。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1When Katherine Chon was in fifth grade, she drew a "dream tree" representing the path she hoped her life would take. One branch led to Harvard Medical School, Which is exactly what her mother had hoped for when the Chons moved to the U. S. from South Korea to give their three children opportunities.Always a diligent student, Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown. But then she added a new limb to her dream tree—one that her mother still doesn't understand. Shocked by the misfortune of some South Korean women, Katherine joined forces with another Brown student to form the Polaris Project, now one of the largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country. "It was really hard for my parents," says Katherine. "They had so many life stresses so their children could get a great education and have a comfortable life. "The dreams of parents and children often differ, but the conflict can be especially painful in first-generation immigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices. Lisa Park, an assistant professor at the University of California, San Diego, says that the focus of every family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for their children is almost always on the future, with little mention of the circumstances that compelled them to move. And even though the parents are the ones working 12-hour days, the children are also under intense pressure to perform in ways that will justify the parents' sacrifice.The contrast between parents' dreams and children's realities can be particularly sharp for daughters who have grown up with almost infinite opportunities. Their mothers often came from places whereopportunities for women were limited, which makes the daughters' choices even harder to understand. Mary Lugemwa's parents encouraged her to study math or science at Harvard. She complied at first, majoring in computer science. But she is currently working as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media. "I sometimes feel guilty," she says, "having chosen to be an artist, because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background, I could help my parents a lot more. "46. When Katherine Chon was a fifth-grader, ______.[A] she had a great interest in drawing[B] she had a clear vision of her future[C] she had an independent personality[D] she had a desire to study in the U. S.47. It can be inferred from the text that Katherine's mother______.[A] was disappointed at her daughter's decision[B] was shocked by the suffering of some women[C] failed to give her kids enough opportunities[D] failed to realize her own dream to be a doctor48. According to the text, in first-generation immigrant families, the parents feel frustrated if ______.[A] they fail to adjust to the circumstances[B] they are forced to make great sacrifices[C] their children fail to focus on the future[D] their children develop against their wishes49. According to Lisa Park, first-generation immigrantchildren______.[A] avoid the slightest mention of their parents' past[B] focus on seizing chances for future development[C] work very hard to justify their parents' sacrifices[D] are under pressure to fulfill their parents' dreams50. We learn from Mary Lugemwa's case that______.[A] her parents cherished opportunities more than she did[B] her parents' dreams and her reality could be balanced[C] she had a quite different view of life from her parents[D] she enjoyed infinite opportunities in career developmentText 2Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has launched a new public awareness campaign aimed at Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler. "Enough is Enough" advocates dropping the Criminal Code's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit from 0.08 to 0.05 percent, to "protect innocent drivers on our roads. "MADD Canada CEO Andrew Murie thinks that lowering the BAC limit could result in a 6-to-18 percentreduction in crash deaths. But questions have been raised about the science behind that campaign.MADD selectively cites a report published in 2002 by Robert Mann of the Mental Health Centre. Mann, in turn, had got those numbers from two separate studies whose data was selected from Sweden and Australia. The conclusions in Mann's report seem to ignore the Swedish authors' numerous warnings and cautions, as well as the limitations in the Australian study. First, the Australian study examined the effectiveness of breath testing, not lowered BAC levels, on fatal traffic crashes. Also, that research was started in 1976 when "liquid lunches" were far more common. What's more, the Australian data varied: whereas the state of Queensland saw the 18 percent decline in fatal accidents cited by MADD's Murie, in neighboring New South Wales, fatal accidents decreased just 8 percent.It is also reported by the Ontario Community Council that the majority of drivers in alcohol-related fatal crashes are repeat offenders with BACs over 0.15 percent—meaning that the problem is drivers who repeatedly get behind the wheel with BAC levels twice the legal limit, not social drinkers who consume a glass of wine or two. This makes MADD's concern seem wasteful, given the downward trend in alcohol-related traffic deaths.The Canada Safety Council, the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators and the Traffic Injury Research Foundation take issue with MADD's campaign. Even the Ontario Community Council has determined that lowering the BAC would mean more work for police and the courts. But to MADD's Murie, the math question is simple: "If you lower BAC limits, regardless to what level, you'll save Canadian lives. "Unfortunately, the math doesn't quite add up.51. MADD launched a public awareness campaign in order to ______.[A] criticize the Justice Minister[B] improve BAC measurement[C] restrict drivers' access to alcohol[D] revise the law regarding drunk driving52. From the text we learn that MADD cites a report that ______.[A]justifies its new campaign[B] is favored by the authorities[C] sums up major public concerns[D] is mentioned in two other studies53. It is implied in the text that Mann's report is unreliable because______.[A] it was based on some unsound research[B] it got its data from two inconsistent studies[C] it was written in conditions no longer valid[D] it ignored the limitations of the studies cited54. The text indicates that MADD's campaign ______.[A] will not affect social drinkers[B] may turn out to be of little value[C] is going to reduce governmental labor[D] has won support from some organizations55. The writer's attitude towards the campaign is ______.[A] satirical [B] scornful[C] suspicious [D] supportiveText 3A recent study demonstrated how powerful a few words can be:Forty competitive tennis players were shown digital images of balls coming their way. Just before each ball appeared, the players saw or heard comments like "Good shot" or "Bad shot. " The reaction times of players hearing negative remarks were measurably slower. And these were athletes who trained frequently to play a consistent game andnot make unforced errors.What is the explanation? Negative feedback weakens anyone'sbelief in his or her ability to succeed. But if you can hold on to a winning attitude, you'll make a greater effort and also createpositive drive. Confident people inspire others; opportunities seemto come their way more often. They become magnets for success.Learn the importance of giving yourself pep talks, and keep the voice in your head positive. The best athletes' success is rarely due to raw talent alone. It's because they're simply better prepared. They stay focused, they're willing to work as hard as they need to, and they keep the positive voice in their heads switched on.Perhaps the most important aspect of being your own coach is todo what any outside adviser-or a good parent, for that matter—would preach: practice, practice, practice. Avoid individuals who suck your energy and diminish your confidence. Hang out with the people who see you at your best, and remind you about it very often. Pessimists drag you down, as do whiners and critics. If there's one winning behavior that people building confidence should model, it's the willingness to get back into the game after a setback. Don't nurse your wounds.There are, however, important warnings. Panicking can compound a small misstep by causing you to lose your head and forget to think clearly. If you suffer a terrible loss, give yourself time to absorb the blow. Don't deny the hurt or try to solve the problem immediately. Gather your support system around you and simply get nurtured.Sitting around and thinking about your loss is the worst thing youcan do to solve your problem.56. We learn from the first paragraph that ______.[A] excellent performance often goes with well-trained players[B] excellent performance often goes with positive comments[C] high-tech methods help players avoid unforced errors[D] high-tech methods increase players' competitiveness57. People who want to succeed should first imagine themselves to be ______.[A] an observer [B] an inspirer[C] a creator [D] a winner58. The phrase "pep talks" in Paragraph 3 means 'talks' which______.[A] encourage people [B] entertain people[C] impress people [D] interest people59. The writer thinks that you should keep company with those who ______.[A] point out your mistakes[B] tolerate your weaknesses[C] emphasize your strengths[D] understand your complaints60. In the face of a severe loss, the best thing you can do is to ______.[A] deny the hurt [B]try to forget it [C] solve it at once [D] accept it calmlyPart BDirections:Read the texts from a magazine section called "Letters" in which five people commented on a special report on new medicines. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Ann Best:Your special report on new medicines showed there is thrilling promise in future "cures" for so many diseases that threaten mankind. But how will ordinary folks pay for these modern miracles? One drug company is hopeful that the savings involved in developing these medicines "will translate into pure profit for investors. " This can only result in a problem for me: Shall I buy food, pay the rent or get the medicines I need?Tom Waken:As a citizen who has been critical of drug companies because of the high drug price, I found that your report about the new medicines has softened my stand. The companies say they have to charge more for their drugs so they can do research for better medicines. Now thatI've read about the newer and better drugs, I will gladly go on paying for my medications, knowing I am making a good investment in better living.Robert H. Kamm:We all want to live longer and healthier lives, but taking pills to rescue us from our self-abusive lifestyle only masks real problems and ends up costing us billions of dollars a year. We ought to be investing at least as much in trying to discover why millions of us behave in ways that are not in our best interest—smoking, drinking, overworking, under-exercising and generally doing things that are bad for our health.John J. Bagshaw:The cost of poor health is shocking and goes well beyond dollars. But the approach that offers the best solution, reduces risk, cuts demand and gets people healthy and fit is prevention. The U.S. is a nation of chronic diseases. It will get much worse, because we never deal with the causes. Individual Americans need to bring this issue to a boil and keep it there until we get a health-care system based on prevention.Laurel Woods:While I applaud the research being done in the field of medicine, I am also aware that good things can go bad in an instant. I have heart disease, and I had a negative reaction to a new treatment: the result was a long hospital stay. We should remember that caution has to be applied when being treated with a new medicine. Nothing will replace the human element that must be present in a caring medical community.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Prevention should always come before treatment.[B] A new medical treatment needs to be administered with caution.[C] Pills often perform miracles on people who take them.[D] A change of behavior counts more than reliance on drugs.[E] However good the new drugs, their affordability is first and foremost.[F] New drugs should not be put onto the market until proven effective.[G] Drug companies are justified to sell their products at higher prices.61.

2012年11月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译实务真题及答案Section 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes.FOR MORE than 30 years, I have been wondering about L.R. Generson. On one of our first Christmases together, my husband gave me a complete set of Dickens. There were 20 volumes, bound in gray cloth with black corners, old but in good condition. Stamped on the flyleafof each volume, in faded block letters, was the name of the prev ious owner: “L.R. Generson, M.D., Bronx, NY.”That Dickens set is one of the best presents anyone has ever given me. A couple of the books are still pristine, but others - “Bleak House,’’ “David Copperfield,’’ and especially “Great Expectations’’ - have been read and re-read almost to pieces. Over the years, Pip and Estella and Magwitch have kept me company. So have Lady Dedlock, Steerforth and Peggotty, the Cratchits and the Pecksniffs and the Veneerings. And so,in his silent enigmatic way, has L.R. Generson.Did he love the books as much as I do? Who was he? On a whim, I Googled him. There wasn’t much - a single mention on a veterans’ website of a World War II captain named Leonard Generson. But I did find a Dr. Richard Generson, an oral surgeon living in New Jersey. Since Generson is not a common name, I decided to write to him.Dr. Generson was kind enough to write back. He told me that his father, Leonard Richard Generson, was born in 1909. He lived in New York City but went to medical school in Basel, Switzerland. He spoke 10 languages fluently. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, he opened a practice in the Bronx shortly before World War II. His son described himas “an extremely patriotic individual’’; right after Pearl Harb or he closed his practice and enlisted. He served throughout the war as a general surgeon with an airborne special forces unit in Europe, where he became one of the war’s most highly decorated physicians.The list of his decorations reflects his ordeals and his courage: multiple Purple Hearts, the Bronze Star with “V’’ for valor, the Silver Star, and also the Cross of War,an extremely high honor from the government of France. After the war, he remained in the Army Reserve and attained the rank of full colonel, while also continuing his medical practice in New York. “He was a very dedicated physician who had a large patient following,’’ his son wrote.Leonard Generson’s son didn’t remember the Dickens set, though he told me that there were always a lot of novels in the house. His mother probably “cleaned house’’ after his father’s death in 1977 - the same year my husband bought the set in a used book store.I found this letter very moving, with its brief portrait of an intelligent, brave man and his life of service. At the same time, it made me question my presumption that somehowL.R. Generson and I were connected because we’d owned the same set of books. The letter both told me a little about him, and told me that I would never really know anything about him - and why should I? His son must have been startled to hear from a stranger on such a fragile pretext. What had I been thinking?One possible, and only somewhat facetious, answer is that I’ve read too much Dickens. In the world of a Dickens novel, everything is connected to everything else. Orphans find families. Lovers are joined (or parted and morally strengthened). Ancient mysteries are solved and old scores are settled. Questions are answered. Stories end.Dickens’s cluttered network of connected lives brilliantly exaggerates something that is true of all of us. We want to impose order through telling stories, maybe because there is so much we don’t know about our own stories and the stories of those around us.Leonard Generson’s life touched mine only lightly, through the coincidence of a set of books. But there are other lives he touched more deeply. The next time I read a Dickens novel, I will think of him and his military service and his 10 languages. And I will think of the hundreds of babies he must have delivered, who are now in the middle of their own lives and their own stories.Section 2 Chinese-English Translation （汉译英）（40 points）Translate the following passage into English. The time for this section is 60 minutes.总部位于美国印第安纳州的得而达（Delta）水龙头公司是美国一家上市公司Masco集团的核心企业。

Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished 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:The most famous collections of fairy tales (童话) are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.（第⼀题相关句） But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. （第⼆题相关句）He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.The Grimms’ fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In “Hansel and Gretel” an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in “Little Red Riding Hood”a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck (啄) out their eyes.Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classics of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections.(第四题相关句) (76) But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.1. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?A. To deal with readers’ complaints.B. To improve his financial situation.C. At the request of his publisher.D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.1. 问题问“为什么Wilhelm Grimm着⼿改写他为孩⼦们编写的书？”分析：（第⼀题相关句） But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children.依据相关句的意义可知： Grimm着⼿改写他为孩⼦们编写的书是因为他们需要钱，当时他们的经济状况很糟糕，房⼦⾥穷的甚⾄没有⼀张能让⼈感到安全的椅⼦。

The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three teachers in a lifetime are the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and parrtner, ED Rickets.I have to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that three are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.My three teachers han these things in common: They all loved what they were doing; they did not tell, but stimulated a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprang wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable.I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery. She aroused us to shouting, bookwaving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she did not even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation (思绪) ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies (萤火虫).She was fired, and perhaps rightly fightly so, for failing to teach fundamentals. Such things must be learned. But she left a passion (激情) in us for the pure knowable world and she inflamed me with a curiosity which has never left. I have had many teachers eho told me soon-forgotten facts but only three who created in me a new attitude a new hunger. What deathless power lies inthe hands of such a person?31.

Thanks to modern methods of transport, we can travel everywhere more eaily and mor equickly than ever before, but the language problem still remains. Without a common language, misunderstandings arise an there can be no real comminication between people of different nationalities.There are two possible solutions to this problem: either we choose one of the exisiting major languages of the world, or we make up an artificial one. But neither solution is simple beause no exisiting major language, such as Esperanto (世界语), has no literature and would be thought dull by many learners.It is often said that English is quickly becoming a world language. It is certainly the most widely used language in the world, and second only to Chinese in its number of native speakers, but there are certain dangers in choosing English as an international language.First of all, owing to political reasons and national pride, English is not acceptable to everyone as a world language. Many dislike its influence; they see it as a form of interference, perhaps evendomination. English words enter their languages and this too causes offence. Although English is being taught in more and school abrosd, the process in not always popular. Not every nation is prepared to accept the dominant position of a foreign language in their educational system.Another danger is that differences in standard English arise from its use thoughout world. It could break up, with language developing from dialects (方言) of English. Already Indian teachers and Nigerian students have been unable to understand each other’s English.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡2作答。
