I like eating in various restaurants • I have great craving for yummy food. At my leisure, I often wander around streets, looking for delicious food. That is one of my hobbies.Part B2、C andidate A： These pictures remind me of my previous learning experiences . You know this feeling, don11 you?Candidate B : Yeah. When I was in the kindergarten, what did was playing, eating and sleeping. I had a good time with my classmates. Whatever we did, we enj oyed ourselves.Candidate A：This is just what I want to say. During that period, we didn 11 have any worries. Our parents and teachers took great care of us. They arranged everything as well.Candidate B : Right. When I entered my primary school z I wasn11 accustomed to it at the beginning. Because teachers imparted knowledge to me. But as time went by, I began to like it•Candidate A： Compared with the time when I was in middle school, I enjoyed more in primary school, for I was under great pressure.

Now we all promote conservation, including paper, water, energy and so on. We should know conservation is not just a word saying to others, but an act showing others.Candidate B: In my opinion, conservation is fairly necessary. Paper is an important resource. We can11 afford to waste it.Picture 2:Candidate B: This picture reflects a widespread phenomenon. Nowadays, students stay up late to review lessons so that they can pass the exam. What they should do is listening to every lesson carefully and taking notes in detail. However, many students doze off or chat with each other or even play cell phones in class. They just don11 pay attention to what teachers say. In the long run, this behaviour will have a harmful impact on both their study and their health.Candidate A： As far as 11 m concerned, students shouldn11 just make efforts at the last moment. Accumulating knowledge gradually guarantees progress.。

Interacting withchildren from diverse backgrounds enabled me to better understand and appreciate cultural differences.3. Question: Discuss a current global issue and provide your opinion on it.Response:One current global issue that concerns me deeply is climate change. The impact of climate change on our planet is undeniable, and immediate action is required to mitigate its effects. I believe it is crucial for governments, organizations, and individuals to take responsibility and adopt sustainable practices. We should emphasize renewable energy sources, reduce carbon emissions, and prioritize environmental conservation efforts. By working collectively, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come.4. Question: Explain the importance of cultural diversity in today's society.Response:Cultural diversity plays a fundamental role in shaping today's society.

My name is... and this is my colleague... He/She is just going to be listening to us.And your names are... and... ?Would you tell me your candidate numbers so I can check them,please?Thank you.(Hand over the mark sheets to the assessor. )First of all we’d like to know something about you,Candidate A,so I’m going to ask you some questions.The ideal jobWhat job do you think is best for you after you graduate?What’s your most consideration when looking for a job?Where would you like to work after you graduate, in a big city or in a small town?What factors influence you most in your choice of a job?Some people would rather not work if they can’t find the ideal job. What’s your opinion of this?Why does our government encourage young people to leave home and work in less developed areas?Do you have any work experience? (If yes) Would you tell us something about it?(If not) Why not?How would you prepare for a job interview?Do you think it is desirable to have a job in the same city where your parents live?Give your reasons, please.正确答案：E First of all we’d like to know something about you,Candidate A, so I’m going to ask you some questions.E What job do you think is best for you after you graduate?A In the past three years of my college life I have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduation. Although my ideas are not consistent, I have now decided on a college teacher as my lifelong career. A number of reasons have led me to choose this occupation. Firstly, teaching is learning. Secondly, teaching means freedom and independence. As a teacher, I’m free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions. Finally, I like teaching because it offers a certain peace of mind. No more rush to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome.E What’s your most consideration when looking for a job?A Work can keep me alert, growing, and helps me to maintain my dignity. Therefore, the biggest consideration for a job is to know whether the job is promising and full of challenges. If the job is not promising and there is no challenge in the job, I won’t choose it no matter what high rank it is. In my opinion, at the beginning of my job, I should learn from my colleagues. After that I want to play an important role in my department or company, I mean, I want to contribute to my company by my valuable work. Maybe I will be a bit tired, but I like the challenges.E Where would you like to work after you graduate, in a big city or in a small town? A I’d like to work in the city. There are many challenges in a big city. We can find a good job. I think that working in the city may have more pleasant working environment than in the country. Working in a big city may offer us moretime to enjoy ourselves, for example, after work, we may go to the pub, or a concert, or we may go to see an interesting film. While in a small town, we can not be satisfied. The other reason why I like working in a big city is that we may have more chances to find the right job if we are not satisfied with the present one, while in a small town, we have fewer chances. Finally, I like the big cities’ quick pace, and they are full of challenges. E What factors influence you most in your choice of a job?A I’d like to choose a job in which there are challenges and competition. Challenges and competition make me creative. They are the production of the development of society and they give me a sense of the pursuit of excellence. It is my inborn nature. Nothing can stop me from bringing my intelligence into full play. Certainly, I also take income and other factors into consideration, but challenges and competition are the most important factors in my opinion. Otherwise my life will be humdrum by keeping idle in my work.E Thank you. Now we’d like to know something about you, Candidate B, so I’m going to ask you some questions.E Some people would rather not work if they can’t find the ideal job. What’s your opinion of this?B I’d rather find temporary work if I can’t find the ideal job. Firstly, in fact my ideas are not very consistent, because I’m afraid that my ideal job is not for me in practice. In temporary jobs, maybe I can gradually find the most suitable job for me,and I’ll change my job after that. In fact, I don’t think it’s very easy to find my ideal job after graduation, because I haven’t rich work experience. I’d like to enrich my experience and progress myself through temporary jobs. It’s helpful to my ideal job-hunting.E Why does our government encourage young people to leave home and work in less developed areas?B The development of the less developed areas is critical to China’s overall economic rise. What’s more, it’s the only way to decrease the imbalance of economic development in China. During the development of an area, the amount of the persons with ability is very important. Nowadays, most of our young people have at least a bachelor’s degree. They have a great deal of knowledge which is of great help to the construction of these less developed areas. Besides, leaving home can make young people more self-dependent.E Do you have any work experience? (If yes) Would you tell us something about it? (If not) Why not?B Yes, I have rich work experience. I used to be the tutor of several girls and boys. Tutoring was my first part-time job, through which I learned how to get along with children, adults and old men. Last year I had a part-time job in a website corporation. I was the manager of the information department. So I learned how to manage, how to cooperate with other persons. Now I’m working in a foreign bank, in which I can learn some academic knowledge. I think by these part-time jobs, I got rich experience. I believe it’s helpful to my job-hunting.E How would you prepare for a job interview?B A job interview is very important for both interviewer and interviewee, especially the latter. In a job interview, the two parties can know each other. To prepare for a job interview, you have several things to do. Firstly, you should read some books on interviewing. In these books, there is a great deal of valuable information you can use for reference, such as the questions often asked by the interviewer. Secondly, you must acquaint yourself with the company which will interview you.You can visit the company’s website to know the history, the departments, and the system of it. Finally, you must be formallydressed when you go to an interview. In general, you should prepare for your job interview, otherwise, you can’t even pass the first run of the interview.E Do you think it is desirable to have a job in the same city where your parents live? Give your reasons, please.B Yes, I think it is desirable to have a job in the same city where my parents live. The most important reason is that I can look after my parents. I take this into consideration because I am their only child and they are now weak and getting on in age. I’ve the responsibility to look after them. If I live in the same city with them, I can visit them very often and help them whenever it is necessary. I think they will be very happy to live near me. It’s helpful to their health.考生相互问答2．Interlocutor:Now,I’d like you to talk about something for about 3 minutes. I’m just going to listen. I’d like you to discuss about the most common means of communication.Talk to each other about it. It is not necessary to agree with each other. You have only about 3 minutes for this.Candidates: (approximately 3 minutes) Interlocutor:Thank you. (Retrieve picture sheet. )正确答案：E Now, I’d like you to talk about something for about 3 minutes. I’m just going to listen. I’d like you to discuss about the most common means of communication.A I think the most common means of communication for our students is the telephone. Nowadays almost every dorm owns one telephone. It’s so quick and convenient to talk with our friends on the phone, especially when you have something urgent to tell them.B Well, partly I agree with you. I think if my friends are in the same city, I’ll choose the telephone as the best means of communication. But if they are in other cities, other provinces or even other countries, I can’t afford it. It’s so expensive. In this matter, I’d choose letter writing as the best means. As long as I have time I’d rather write to my friend. Sometimes I just think telephones make people lazy and lengthens the distance between people.A Yes, I agree with you. Furthermore, there is another cheap and convenient means of communication. It’s e-mail. With the popularity of computers, more and more people are now starting to send e-mails to each other, especially on university and college campuses.B But not every student can afford to buy a computer and knows how to send and receive e-mails. As far as my class is concerned, most students write letters to communicate with friends. Everyday I see a large pile of letters sent to my class from different places. Sometimes you see students using telephones but most of them are talking on the phone with their friends who just live in the same city or in the same school.A I don’t think there are any students in our university who do not know how to send and receive e-mails.B I think sometimes if a student wants to send and check e-mails, he must go to the computer center. It’s really not convenient. But for telephone calls, it is very convenient, if we use IP and 193 cards. The students I know use the telephone more often. A Why did you say that telephones make people lazy and lengthen the distance between people?B Nowadays people are becoming too dependent on telephones. Even when they have time to write a letter, they prefer telephones. With the little magical implement at hand,it isn’t difficult for a man to find an excuse for not writing letters and feel at ease. Telephones are making people lazy. When a person writes, he must organize his mind, express his ideas and think more logically. People not only greet each other but also exchange thoughts by letters. From this viewpoint, telephone lengthens the distance between people.B How do you usually keep in touch with your friends?A I usually keep in touch with my friends by e-mail. It’s a very quick, cheap and convenient means of communication for me. I have my own computer, and the internet is free in my university. I need not pay anything for the e-mails. Most of my friends have their own computers too. I used to use telephones very often, but it’s really so expensive if I talked with them on the phone. Most of my friends are in other cities, provinces or even other countries. Occasionally, I write letters to some friends, but not very often. I think writing and reading letters is quite a pleasant thing. But most often, I keep in touch with my friends by e-mail.A Which way of corresponding do you think will be most popular in the near future? B I think corresponding through sending e-mails will be the most popular way in the near future. With the popularity of computers, more and more people are now starting to send e-mails to each other. The pace of modern society is faster and faster, and writing letters is no longer a good way to communicate. Although the telephone is a quick and convenient means of communication, it’s so expensive especially for long-distance phone calls. It’s cheaper to send e-mails than to talk on the telephone.B Do you think letters will eventually be replaced by e-mail or fax? Please give your reasons.A I don’t think letters will eventually be replaced by e-mail or fax. E-mail and fax are just becoming more and more popular in our modern society. However it’s not a traditional way to communicate. There are still some people who will prefer writing letters to their friends in the future. They think that writing down their thoughts on some beautiful paper and writing by pen instead of by keyboard are really very pleasant things. In addition, not every person has a computer or a fax machine. They have to write letters instead of sending e-mails. Finally, I think writing letters can promote people’s writing ability. So, letters will never be replaced by e-mail or fax.A What do you think is the most efficient way for people to keep in touch with each other and why do you think so?B Nowadays more and more households in China own at least one telephone, through which people can easily talk to each other. We can make phone calls whenever and wherever we want to. So I think telephone calls are the most efficient way for people to keep in touch with each other, especially when you have something urgent to tell somebody. It’s quicker than writing letters, and more convenient than e-mails.继续性问答3．Interlocutor:Now,I’d like each of you to talk on your own for about one and a half minutes.

I’m going to give each of you a different picture and I’d like you to talk about it. Candidate A,here is your picture. Please let Candidate B have a look at it.A Everybody likes week-long holidays. Now in China, there are three week-long holidays, Spring Festival, May Day and National Day. Week-long holidays have a lot of advantages. As the saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. “ In these holidays, we have more time to relax. We can travel. There are so many wonderful places in China. You can go to Huang Shan to climb the mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It’s really a good way to visit. If we don’t like traveling, we can stay at home to do anything we like. You can get up late in the morning, and have a good sleep; you can play chess with your family after lunch; you can listen to a favorite record or jog in a park on late afternoons. Your time is always at your own disposal. Also, you can visit your friends. Friendship is very important in everyone’s life. Maybe you are too busy to communicate with your good friends for a long time, so you can visit them in the week-long holiday. In addition, a week-long holiday is a golden time to enjoy reading, because we don’t have to worry about any disturbance. In a word, it’s so exciting to have a week-long holiday.E Thank you. Candidate B, is there anything else you would like to say about this picture?B I’m always expecting a week-long holidays such as Spring Festival, May Day and National Day. In these holidays, I have more time to study, and I think it is very important to me —a university student. This term I have seven subjects, every day I have at least six classes, and I have only three nights every week to go to the library. It’s not enough to review the knowledge taught in class. So in week-long holidays, I have time to review my lessons. Secondly, a week-long holiday is a good time for me to learn English. I can watch some English movies to practice my listening. Also I can practice my reading, speaking and writing. In addition, I can visit some museums, art galleries, exhibitions, etc. , through which my horizons can be broadened. I like week-long holidays, and expect to study freely in these holidays.E Candidate B,here is your card. Please let Candidate A have a look at it. (Hand over the picture to Candidate B.)I’d like you to describe the picture and also tell us how you feel about the two pictures. Remember you have only about one and a half minutes for this.B From my point of view, week-long holidays have a lot of disadvantages. Most students play too much, and their minds keep idle in these holidays. The negative effects outweigh the positiveeffects. Firstly, although there will be more time that can be disposed by ourselves in the holidays, we have less time to study actually. For example, you may get up late and sit in front of the computer playing games or visiting some useless websites just for fun. Secondly, since you play too much, you tend to forget what has been learned, especially English. English needs to be practiced very often. Finally, if you go on an outing, traveling, or playing until midnight every day in your holiday, you will be exhausted after a week-long holiday. Maybe when you begin your study and work, you would be tired.E Thank you. Candidate A, is there anything you would like to say about this picture? A As for a university or college student, there are so many disadvantages to having a week-long holiday. It puts pressure on students who are financially disadvantaged. They maybe have no money for traveling, so they have to ask their parents for money. Usually the expenditure of traveling is very large, so it will make their parents’ burden heavier. What’s more, they maybe have no money to eat out. So, while, most of their classmates and roommates go out to travel or eat, but they have to stay in the dormitory. So, they will have a strong feeling of loneliness. In general, poor students won’t have a good time in the week-long holidays.。

2011年全国公共英语三级模拟试题及答案Section I Listening Comprehension(25 minutes) （略）Section ⅡUse of English(15 minutes)Directions:Read the following text. Choose the best word or phrase for each numbered blank and mark A, B,C, or Don your ANSWER SHEET 1.TextMost 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] of27.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen 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. He listened while I gave him the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______.[A] newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47. If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in a publishing house.49. When the writer decided to resign the Globe was faced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By “:I wish I were in your shoes.”（in the last paragraph）Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? 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 ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day[C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B] Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels （coal and oil）is creating a “greenhouse effect”—conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen （though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible）Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment ca used by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the United States[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soon58. The word “offset”in the second paragraph could be replaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[D] the world's temperature will remain constant in the years to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect……[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels……[C] the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age. Part BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements （A to C ）given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.AbbeyYou can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!MarlinI began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of collegeand have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.MaggieDuring my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. "BelindaIf you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse.WoodI went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62. Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63. Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64. Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65. Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing （40 minutes）You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.
