北语09考试批次-综合英语(iii)模拟试卷三

2009年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解Part ⅠReading 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 fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice andblacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.According to a recent survey, employees in many companies today work longer hours than employees did in 1979.They also take shorter vacations than employees in 1979. It seems that Americans are working harder today than ever before. Or are they? A management consultant, Bill Meyer, decided to find out. For three days, he observed an investment banker hard at work. Meyer wrote down everything the banker did during his long workday. At the end of the three-day period, Meyer reviewed the banker’s activities with him. What did they find out? They discovered that the man spent 80 percent of his time doing unnecessary work. For example, he attended unnecessary meetings, made redundant(多余的) telephone calls, and spent time packing and unpacking his two big briefcases.(76) Apparently, many people believe that the more time a person spends atwork, the more he or she accomplishes. When employers evaluate employees, they often consider the amount of time on the job in addition to job performance. Employees know this. Although many working people can do their job effectively during a regular 40-hour work week, they feel they have to spend more time on the job after normal working hours so that the people who can promote them see them.A group of headhunters(猎头) were asked their opinion about a situation. They had a choice of two candidates for an executive position with an important company. The candidates had similar qualifications for the job. For example, they were both reliable. One could do the job well in a 40-hour work week. The other would do the same job in an 80-hour work week just as well.According to a headhunting expert, the 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job. The time this candidate spends on the job may encourage other employees to spend more time at work, too. Employers believe that if the employees stay at work later, they may actually do more work.However, the connection between time and productivity(生产率) is not always positive.(77) In fact, many studies indicate that after a certain point, anyone’s productivity and creativity begin to decrease. Some employees are not willing to spend so much extra, unproductive time at the office. Once they finish their work satisfactorily, they want to relax and enjoy themselves. For these people, the solution is to find a company that encourages people to do both.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Many people work long hours but do not always do a lot of work.B. Most people can get more work done by working longer hours.C. Most Americans work 80 hours a week, and some work even longer.D. People can make more money by working longer hours.2. The management consultant wanted to find out _____.A. how hard the investment banker worked during his work hoursB. when people spent time doing unnecessary work in their officeC. if people needed vacation after working hard for a certain period of timeD. whether Americans were really working harder than they had done before3. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The more time a person spends at work, the more he or she accomplishes.B. Employers do not judge their employees’ job performance according to the amount of working time.C. Some people work more than 40 hours a week in the hope of getting promotion.D. All employees are willing to spend extra time at work.4. The 80-hour-a-week candidate would get the job because employers believe _____.A. that he is more reliableB. his example would lead other employees to work longer hoursC. he has better qualificationsD. he could encourage other employees to do a better job5. The expression “to do both” in the last paragraph is _____.A. to finish their work satisfactorily and relax and enjoy themselvesB. to pay attention to both performance and productivityC. to work long hours and have short vacationsD. to relax and enjoy themselves quite frequently【答案与解析】1.

Write your answers on the answer sheet.Families have always been changing. For example, once the family was the world. In 31 words，at one time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was the child's only school. The family was the only means to settle a dispute. Nowadays，the family is still the "world" in some cultures. But in many cultures，these 32 functions of the family have largely been 33 by other institutions，such as schools，churches，and governments.In the 34 ，families changed in other ways，some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants，the family had to be small 35 move around, and when they settled down to 36 to obtain food，they found that they needed more 37 to do the work. Then the new family developed in some cultures. Now 38 to their children，people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.H ow are families changing today? The number of nuclear families （核心家庭）seems to be increasing everywhere in the world，while that of extended families is 39 . One reason for this seems to bethat in many cultures today people are leaving farms and villages to find jobs in the city.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Intelligent young people want to go to university, and it is logical for a country to provide university places for them to ensure that there will be good-trained men and women to run the government and industry in the future. So in the 1960s the government set up a number of new universities in Britain to provide everyone with sufficient opportunity to study. But now something has gone wrong. There is still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects, but many places for scientists are not taken up.The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical. They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university education. Why have their calculations proved wrong? One reason is that a lot of young people can get enough qualifications to work in industry by going to technical school. They think university courses are too long and tootheoretical. But this does not explain why the majority of students still prefer arts subjects to science subjects.41．What is "logical" according to the first paragraph?_______.[A] Intelligent young people want to go to university.[B] The government should set up universities to train young people for the country.[C] People who run the country should be well-trained.[D] University is the place to train young men and women.42．What makes the new universities different from the traditional ones?_______.[A] There are more science subjects in them.[B] There are more arts students in them.[C] Their curriculum is more scientifically planned.[D] They are equipped with more modern facilities.43．What does "their calculations"(par.2)refer to ?_______.[A] Their plan to defeat the traditional university education.[B] Their calculations of how many students study science and how many students study arts.[C] Their thought that science is practical.[D] Their assumption that people are willing to study the practical science subjects in the university.44．Which of the following shows the advantage of technical schools over universities correctly?_______.[A] They have more qualified teachers.[B] They have more qualified courses.[C] The students can be qualified to work within a short time.[D] If the students get qualification in technical schools, they are more well-received by industry.45．Why does the majority of the students prefer to study arts in university?_______.[A] The reason is not clear.[B] The science courses in university are too theoretical.[C] Arts sound nobler than science.[D] The curriculum of science course is not well-arranged.Passage 2Most Europeans want small cars. Many Americans prefer large cars. As a result, European auto-makers produce a wide variety of economical, lightweight cars while American auto-makers tend to build bigger, heavier cars.The price of gasoline has much to do with this. Gasoline is expensive in Europe, so Europeans naturally prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many Old World cities have very narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than alarge one.Some Americans like powerful engines in their cars. They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips. They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages.Other Americans, however, have learned to like small,nimble cars. Many visitors to Europe during and after WWⅡ discovered that small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces. They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline.In the 1950s，many Americans began buying European cars. In 1953, for the first time, the United States imported more cars than it exported. The best seller among these imported cars was an odd-looking but dependable small car from Germany. Americans promptly nicknamed it "the bug".Today, American car buyers have a wide choice. There are big cars for people who want elbow room, comfort and power. And there are small cars, mostly imported but some American-made, for people who want easy parking and economical operation.46．Implied but not stated:_______.[A] All Americans buy European cars.[B] No one wants to drive a powerful car.[C] Small cars are not expensive to run.[D] Americans don't like roomy cars.47．What does the word "nimble" mean?_______.[A] cheap[B] beautiful[C] swift[D] foreign48．On the whole, the article tells about_______.[A] parking cars in America[B] the price of gasoline[C] the price of roomy cars[D] big cars and small cars49．Why do some people want to purchase big cars? _______.[A] They want to have elbow room, comfort and power.[B] It is easier to park big cars.[C] They need to make long-distance journey.[D] Big cars cost less than small cars.50．Which statement seems true according to the article?_______.[A] Americans are not accustomed to traveling in Europe.[B] People like to choose cars from many choices.[C] People like to buy European cars without any specific reason.[D] No one drives big cars in Old World cities.Passage 3The bath was invented before the bath plug. The bath plug couldnot have been invented before the bath, except as a small object with which to play ice hockey. The order in which inventions are made is very important, much more important than has ever been realized, because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier ones. A moment's thought will show this is not so. If, for example, a solution to today's urban traffic problems was proposed in the shape of a small man-powered two-wheeled vehicle which would make the motor car look like a cumbersome （笨重的）over-powered device, a space rocket trying to tackle suburban problems, we would greet it as a great technological breakthrough. “bIcycle makes car obsolete!”We would cry. Unfortunately, the bike came first, so we shall always unconsciously see it as a cruder version of the car. Other things which may have been invented too early are the airship, the radio, the railway train, the cuff-link.Consider also the zipper. Zippers represent a technological advance on buttons, being faster and more complete. They are also more liable to come adrift, break, jam, stick and catch. Buttons can only go wrong if the thread is faulty. Even then, buttons can be mended by the user, Zips rarely can.51．If the bicycle were to be invented now, the car would appear_______.[A] unsuitable for its purpose[B] in advance of its time[C] unnecessarily expensive[D] too far for safety52．The railway train and the radio are examples of things which_______.[A] were not fully appreciated at the time of their invention[B] are more suitable for use now than when they were invented[C] are neglected in favor of more recent invention[D] are less suited to their purpose than earlier invention53．According to the author, buttons are preferable to zippers because they_______.[A] are more convenient[B] are more reliable[C] cost less to replace[D] are more complete54．What conclusion can be drawn from the article? _______.[A] Modern technology can't solve our problems.[B] Everything has two aspects, advantages and disadvantages.[C] We should change our usual way of thinking about inventions.[D] Technological innovations do not always mean more benefits55．What does the word "obsolete" mean?_______.[A] outdated[B] slow in movement[C] ridiculous[D] awkwardIV.

Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 20 points)Directions: There are 2 passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there arejz*four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal〞. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.31. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may.[A]cause a shortage of apartments[B]worry those who rent apartments as homes[C]increase the profits of landlords[D]encourage landlords to invest in building apartment32.According to the critics, rent control[A]will always benefit those who rent apartments[B]is unnecessary[C]will bring negative effects in the long run[D]is necessary under all circumstances33.The problem of unemployment will arise[A]if the minimum wage is set too high[B]if the minimum wage is set too low[C]if the workers are unskilledjz*[D]if the maximum wage is set34.The passagetells us[A]the relationship between supply and demand[B]the possible results of government controls[C]the necessity of government control[D]the urgency of getting rid of government controls35.Which of the following statements is NOT true"[A]The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.[B]Minimum wage can not always protect employees.[C]Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.[D]Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country" Or doesn't it matter" Should you use both hands when you are eating" Should leave one in your lap, or on the table"The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.36. If one has accepted a dinner invitation, what should he do if he is late for the dinner"[A]. He should find an excuse[B]. He should ask for excuse.[C]. He should say sorry[D].He should telephone to explain his being late.37."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable." "Bad manners " means ________.[A] ugly [B] dishonest [C] impolite [D] shameful38. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage" .[A] Social Customs and Customs [B] Social Life[C] American and British Customs [D] Promptness Is Importantjz*39. According to the text, the best host_______.[A]. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortable[B]. makes his guests feel excited[C]. tries to avoid being naughty to his guests[D]. tries to avoid being foolish40.The author of this article may agree with which of the following"[A].

2009年4月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题及详解Part ⅠReading 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 fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice andblacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.(76) Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been based on the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction. Computers are often used as part of automated(自动化) production systems requiring a least possible number of operators, causing the loss of many jobs. This has happened, for example, in many steelworks.On the other hand, computers do create jobs. They are more skilled and better paid, though fewer in number than those they replace. Many activities could not continue in their present form without computers, no matter how many people are employed. Examples are the check clearing(交换) system of major banks and the weather forecasting system.When a firm introduces computers, a few people are usually employed in key posts (such as jobs of operations managers) while other staff are re-trained as operators, programmers, and data preparation staff. (77) After the new system has settled down people in non-computer jobs are not always replaced when they leave, resulting in a decrease in the number of employees. This decrease is sometimes balanced by a substantial increase in the activity of the firm, resulting from the introduction of computers.The attitudes of workers towards computers vary. There is fear of widespread unemployment and of the takeover of many jobs by computer-trained workers, making promotion for older workers not skilled in computers more difficult.On the other hand, many workers regard the trend toward wider use of computers inevitable. They realize that computers bring about greater efficiency and productivity, which will improve the condition of the whole economy, and lead to the creation of more jobs. This view was supported by the former British Prime Minister, James Callaghan in 1979, when he made the point that new technologies hold the key to increased productivity, which will benefit the economy in the long run.1. The unfriendly feeling towards computers is developed from _____.A. the possible widespread unemployment caused by their introductionB. their use as part of automated production systemsC. the least possible number of operatorsD. the production system in steelworks2. The underlined word “They” (Para. 2) refers to _____.A. computersB. jobsC. activitiesD. systems3. According to Paragraph 2, without computers _____.A. human activities could not continueB. there could not be weather forecasting systemsC. many activities would have to change their present formD. banks would not be able to go on with check clearing4. According to the passage, what results from the introduction of computers?A. After re-training, all employees in the firm get new jobs.B. A considerable proportion of people are employed in key posts.C. The firm keeps all of its original staff members.D. The decrease in staff members may be balanced by the increase of firm activities.5. James Callaghan’s attitude towards computers can be best described as _____.A. doubtfulB. regretfulC. unfriendlyD. supportive【答案与解析】1. A 根据文章第一句“Much unfriendly feeling towards computers has been basedon the fear of widespread unemployment resulting from their introduction.”可知对于电脑的不友好感情来自于电脑可能导致的大范围失业。

Each passage is followed by 5 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 1The phrase almost completes itself: midlife crisis. It’s the stage in the middle of the journey when people feel youth vanishing, their prospects narrowing and death approaching.There’s only one problem with the cliche (套话).It isn’t true.“In fact, there is almost no hard evidence for midlife crisis other than a few small pilot studies conducted decades ago,”Barbara Hagerty writes in her new book, Life Reimagined. The vast bulk of the research shows that there may be a pause, or a shifting of gears in the 40s or 50s, but this shift “can be exciting, rather than terrifying”.Barbara Hagerty looks at some of the features of people who turn midlife into a rebirth. They break routines, because “autopilot is death”. They choose purpose over happiness一having a clear sense of purpose even reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. They give priority to relationships, as careers often recede(逐渐淡化).Life Reimagined paints a picture of middle age that is far from gloomy. Midlife seems like the second big phase of decision-making. Your identity has been formed; you’ve built up your resources; and now you have the chance to take the big risks precisely because your foundation is already secure.Karl Barth described midlife precisely this way. At middle age, he wrote, “the sowing is behind; now is the time to reap. The run has been taken; now is the time to leap. Preparation has been made; now is the time for the venture of the work itself.”The middle-aged person, Barth continued, can see death in the distance, but moves with a “measured haste”to get big new things done while there is still time.What Barth wrote decades ago is even truer today. People are healthy and energetic longer. We have presidential candidates running for their first term in office at age 68, 69 and 74. A longer lifespan ischanging the narrative structure of life itself. What could have been considered the beginning of a descent is now a potential turning point—the turning point you are most equipped to take full advantage of.1.What does the author think of the phrase “midlife crisis”？A) It has led to a lot of debate. B) It is widely acknowledged.C) It is no longer fashionable. D) It misrepresents real life.2.How does Barbara Hagerty view midlife?A) It may be the beginning of a crisis.B) It can be a new phase of one’s life.C) It can be terrifying for the unprepared.D)It may see old-age diseases approaching.3.How is midlife pictured in the book Life Reimagined?A) It can be quite rose.B) It can be burdensome.C) It undergoes radical transformation.D) It makes for the best part of one’s life.4.According to Karl Barth, midlife is the time_______.A) to relax B) to matureC) to harvest D) to reflect5.What does the author say about midlife today?A) It is more meaningful than other stages of life.B) It is likely to change the narrative of one’s life,C) It is more important to those with a longer lifespan.D)It is likely to be a critical turning point in one’s life.Passage 2In spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s no surprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs”that were favored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,”says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re walking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.”Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,”says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.6.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A) It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B) It is their major source of protein in winter.C) It can easily be made into a work of art.D) It can bring wealth and honor to them.7.What do we learn about the decorated “eggs”in Russia?A) They are shaped like jewel cases.B) They are cherished by the rich.C) They are heavily painted in red.D) They are favored as a form of art.8.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A) Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B) Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C) Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D) Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.9.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed.B) She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea.C) She always derives great pleasure from designing something new.D) She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end.10.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting?A) It originated in the eastern part of Europe.B) It has a history of over two thousand years.C) It is the most time-honored form of fancy art.D) It is especially favored as a church decoration.Passage 3The Urbanization —migration away from the suburbs to the city center —will be the biggest real estate trend in 2015, according to a new report.The report says America’s urbanization will continue to be the most significant issue affecting the industry, as cities across the country imitate the walkability and transit-oriented development makingcities like New York and San Francisco so successful.As smaller cities copy the model of these “24-hour cities，’’tfiore affordable versions of these places will be created. The report refers to this as the coming of the “18-hour city，”，and uses the term to refer to cities like Houston, Austin, Charlotte, and Nashville, which are “positioning themselves as highly competitive, in terms of livability, employment offerings, and recreational and cultural facilities.”Another trend that looks significant in 2015 is that America’s largest population group, Millennials (千禧一代)，will continue to put off buying a house. Apartments will retain their appeal for a while for Millennials, haunted by what happened to home-owning parents.This trend will continue into the 2020s, the report projects. After that, survey respondents disagree over whether this generation will follow in their parents，footsteps, moving to the suburbs to raise families, or will choose to remain in the city center.Another issue affecting real estate in the coming year will be America’s failing infrastructure. Most roads, bridges, transit, water systems, the electric grid, and communications networks were installed 50 to 100 years ago, and they are largely taken for granted until they fail.The report’s writers state that America’s failure to invest in infrastructure impacts not only the health of the real-estate market, but also our ability to remain globally competitive.Apart from the specific trends highlighted above, which cause some investors to worry, the report portrays an overall optimism borne by the recent healthy real-estate “upcycle”and improving economy. Seventy-four percent of the respondents surveyed report a “good to excellent”expectation of real-estate profitability in 2015. While excessive optimism can promote bad investment patterns, resulting in a real- estate “bubble,”the report’s writers downplay that potential outcome in that it has not yet occurred.11. According to the new report, real estate development in 2015 will witness_______ .A) an accelerating speedB) a shift to city centersC) a new focus on small citiesD) an ever-increasing demand12. What characterizes “24-hour cities”like New York?A) People can live without private cars.B) People are generally more competitive.C) People can enjoy services around the clock.D) People are in harmony with the environment.13. Why are Millennials reluctant to buy a house?A) They can only afford small apartments.B) The house prices are currently too high.C) Their parents' bad experience still haunts them.D) They feel attached to the suburban environment.14. What might hinder real estate development in the U.S.?A) The continuing economic recession in the country.B) The lack of confidence on the part of investors.C) The fierce global competition.D) The worsening infrastructure.15. How do most of the respondents in the survey feel about the U.S. real-estate market in 2015?A) Pessimistic. B) Hopeful.C) Cautious. D) Uncertain.Part II: Vocabulary and Structure（2*10=20）Directions: In this part there are 10 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.The place of the child in society has varied for thousands of years and has been affected bydifferent cultures and religions. In ancient times unwanted children were occasionally abandoned, put to death, exploited, or offered for religious sacrifices, and in any event a large percentage of them didn’t survive their physically hazardous existence to achieve maturity. In Western civilization within thelast few hundred years, there have been many changes in attitude toward the young. In agricultural Europe , and later with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the children of the poor worked long hours for little or no pay, and there was no public concern for their safety or welfare. Punishment could be brutal and severe, and sometimes religious passions were expressed violently with a view toward saving the child's soul.By the eighteenth century the harsh, deterministic, doctrinaire methods began to show some change. Society slowly accorded children a role of more importance. Books were written expressly for them and gradually laws were passed for their protection.In the past few decades parents have become more attentive to the needs of their children. Better health care is available and education is no longer reserved for a limited few. With so many now able to go to college, many educators feel that we have too many students and too few competent scholars. Some say the pendulum in child rearing has swung so far toward permissiveness that many children are growing up alienated from society and with no respect for law or parental authority.The tendency today is for teachers and parents to emphasize individual responsibility and to stress that educational goals for students should be tailored to their chosen vocations rather than provide a generalized higher education.51. What does the article say about children?A. They have always been the hope of mankind.;B. In certain periods of history no one cared about them.;C. In the mid-eighteenth century western attitudes toward children began to change.;D. There were laws barring child labor during the industrialrevolution. 52. What does the article say about children in ancient times?A. They were often cruelly beaten.;B. At times they were used as sacrificialofferings.;C. People who didn't want children usually murdered them.;D. Though they were abused or neglected by their parents, children survived to adulthoodwith little difficulty.53. What changes have occurred in the past few decades with regard to the child's place in society?A. Child raising hasbecomemore permissive.;B. Public health care has improved somuch that children now need no particular health care.;C. Children are becoming more intelligent.;D. Children are becoming more respectfultoward their parents.54. What is the present trend in child discipline and education?A. Giving as many young people as possible a popular generalized college education.; B . Creating more regimentation of the individual.; C. Teaching children to conform to rigorous rules.;D. Emphasizing individual responsibility. 55. Implied, but not directly stated, is the followingA. Methods used to treat children in the past were worse than those at present.;B. There are laws passed for protection of children.;C. Parents pay more attention to the needs of their children.;D. Many books have been written for children.When you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambitions (志向). In most cases, you will visit a likely employer’s office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested. The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of the application form and a personal interview.Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job-seeking situations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs. These better jobs often request written letters of application and summaries of your background and experience. Your writing skills may an important part in obtaining the job you desire.In any job-seeking situation, there are a number of ways you may use your writing skills: to complete an application form, prepare a resume, write an application letter, or write employment follow-up letters. As an ambitious job-seeker, therefore, you should be able to prepare all the written material that will help you obtain the job you want.56. According to the passage, in seeking a job ,the students_____.A. w ill follow their interests and ambition; B . like to visit every employer’s office; C. can make an arrangement for an interview; D. will surely get a chance to improveposition57.

Writing Skills Help Job-seekingWhat do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Ourstandard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.61. What we need in life is divided into _________ according to this article.A. the basic necessities and luxury;B. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses;C. f our groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense;D. the basic necessities and reliable income 62. A person who gets the basic necessities must _______ according to the writer.A. have a reliable income;B. learn how to please his manager;C. finish his work ahead the time;D. get a good education63. We all enjoy ____.A. having only reliable income.B. havin g reliable income and extra income.C. having nothing more than food and clothing.D. having nothing more than reliable income. 64.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answersmarked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human conditions is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with life changes and daily hassles (争吵). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (避开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically4外教社®《大学英语》（第三版）3级学业测试find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support ― financial aid, material resources and needed services — that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.1. Interpersonal relationships are important because ________.A. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc.B. they help people to cope with life in the information eraC. they aw aken people’s desire to exchange resourcesD. they are indispensable to people’s social well-being2. Research shows that people’s physical and mental health ________.A. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesB. relies on the social welfare systems which support themC. has much to do with the amount of support they get from othersD. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “cushions” ?A. Lays the foundation for.B. Lessens the effect of.C. Adds up to.D. Does away with.4.

Social companionship is beneficial in that ________.A. it helps strengthen our ties with relativesB. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyableC. it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakesD. it draws our attention away from our worries and troubleQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all theSFLEP College English (3rd Edition) Achievement Test (Band3) 5way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.6. A modern newspaper is remarkable of all the following except its ______.A. wide coverageB. uniform styleC. speed in reporting newsD. popularity7. According to the passage, the reason why not two people really read the “same” newspaper isthat_______.A. people scan for the news they are interested inB. different people prefer different newspapersC. people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsD. people have different views about what a good newspaper is8. It can be concluded from the passage that newspaper readers______.A. apply reading techniques skillfullyB. jump from one newspaper to anotherC. appreciate the variety of a newspaperD. usually read a newspaper selectively9. A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because_______.A. it tries to serve different readersB. it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC. readers are difficult to pleaseD. readers like to read different newspapers10. The best title for this passage would be “ _______”.A. The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityB. The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC. The Variety of a Good NewspaperD. Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper6外教社®《大学英语》（第三版）3级学业测试Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Not so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree could find a good career quite panies toured the academic institutions, competing with each other to select graduates. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobs.Most career organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career：recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employers.Job seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes. An honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thought.The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the future. To do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can visit a careers office, write to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular profession. After studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careers.Good personal presentation is essential in the search for a good career.Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. Where additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possible. They should try to balance their own abilities with the employer’s needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activities.When graduates go to an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer.11. “Those days are gone, even in Hong Kong” in Paragraph 1 suggests that .A. finding a good career used to be easier in Hong Kong than elsewhereB. now everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good jobC. graduates now face stronger competition in Hong Kong than elsewhereD. even in Hong Kong companies tour universities trying to select graduatesSFLEP College English (3rd Edition) Achievement Test (Band3)712. It is implied in Paragraph 3 that graduates should .A. aim to give a balanced account of what the employer needsB. consider careers which suit their values, interests and abilitiesC. recognize their own abilities regardless of what the employer looks forD. stress their personal attitudes and values in job applications13. According to Paragraph 4, graduates should .A. find a good position and then compare it with other careersB. ask friends or relatives to secure them a good jobC. get information about a number of careers before making comparisonsD. study the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available14. In the last paragraph, the writer seems to suggest that .A. interviewees should appear humble if they can’t give an answerB. dressing properly is more important than being able to give an answerC. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understandD. it is a good idea for interviewees to be boastful in their answers15. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Until recently it was quite easy for graduates to get good jobs in Hong Kong.B. Job seekers should consider as many related factors as possible.C. Businesses used to visit the universities in Hong Kong to select graduates.D. Graduates used to compete with each other for a good job in Hong Kong.Section BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

They have developed a hit-list of our main fears, natural resources are (1)______ out; the population is growing, leaving less and less to eat; species are becoming (2)______ in vast numbers, and the planet’s air and water are becoming even more polluted.But a quick look at the facts shows a different picture.

Second, more food is now produced per (4)______ of the world’s population than at any time in history. Fewer people are (5)_______.

One form of pollution—the release of greenhouse gases that causes global warming—does appear to be phenomenon that is going to extend well into our future, but its total impact is unlikely to (9)_______ a devastating (破坏性的) problem.

AMy grandfather worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some crates （木箱）for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Brazil. On his way home, he found his glasses were gone. When he mentally replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket and fallen into one of the crates. His new glasses were heading for Brazil!The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“It’s not fair,” he thought as he walked home angrily. “I’ve been very faithful in giving my time and money to my work, and now th is.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to my grandfather’s small church in Chicago.He began by thanking the people for their kindness in supp orting the orphanage. “But most of all, he said,” I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year. You see, some people had just come to the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate. Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my coworkers and I were very worried about this. Then your crates arrived. When I removed the covers, I found a pair of glasses lying on top.”He paused long enough to let his words sink in. Then, he continued: “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the miraculous glasses. But they thought it was strange because there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.Sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, my grandfather, an ordinary carpenter realized his glasses had found a good place to go.56．We know from the text that .A．the author’s grandfather got his glasses back from the director of the orphanageB．the author’s grandfather found that his glasses were at home at lastC．the author’s grandfather’s burden of supporting his famil y was very heavyD．the author’s grandfather worked as a carpenter in a school in Chicago57．From the text we can infer that the author’s grandfather was very after hearing what the director of the orphanage had said.A．surprised B．disappointed C．pitiful D．proud58．The underlined word “miraculous” （Paragraph 7）can be replaced by .A．practical B．wonderful C．necessary D．important59．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Perfect Mistake B．An Ordinary CarpenterC．A Careless Old Man D．A Pair of GlassesBWashoe, a female chimpanzee （黑猩猩）believed to be the first non-human to acquire human language, has died of natural causes at the research institute where she was kept. The chimp died on Tuesday night, according to Roger and Deborah Fouts, co-founders of The Chimpanzee and Human Communications Institute in Washington, where she lived.Washoe was born in 1965 in Africa, where she was captured by the Air Force and taken to the US for research use in the space program. In 1966, she left the program and began living with two scientists, Allen and Beatrix Gardner, who led a project to teach the chimp American Sign Language （ASL）in Washoe, Nevada, for which it was named. Washoe had been living on Central Washington University’s Ellensburg Campus since 1980. She had a vocabulary of about 250 words. Also, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimps: Tatu, 31, Loulis, 29, and Dar, 31.Primate （灵长类）researcher Jane Goodall, in Fouts’book Next of Kin, noted the importance of the work with Washoe. “Roger, through his ongoing conversations with Washoe and her extended family, has opened a window into a chimpanzee’s mind,” G oodall said.Though previous efforts to teach chimps spoken languages had failed, the researchers believed there was a better chance using signs. But Washoe’s language skills were disputed by scientists who believed that language is unique to humans. Among those who doubted that chimps could use language were linguist （语言学家）Noam Chomsky and Harvard scientist Steven Pinker. They believed primates simply learn to perform certain acts in order to receive rewards, and do not acquire true language.60. As for its first task, Washoe was involved with _______.A. some space researchB. a study on African animalsC. an ASL projectD. the program of training the Air Force61. In Goodall’s opinion, teaching Washoe ASL ______.A. was not successfulB. led to the book Next of KinC. won honor for FoutsD. made a difference62. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “disputed” probably means “______”.A. supportedB. studiedC. questionedD. discussed63. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The ASL project was first set up in Africa for the study on Washoe.B. Washoe may communicate with other chimps by signing.C. Washoe must have been able to speak 250 words or so.D. The researchers will prove that most chimps could use language.CMAP ARTIST PROGRAMMap Artist is the perfect tool for creating customized （定制的）maps to include in research projects and reports.

All high school graduates ought to go, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more and more, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students get in the way of each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation （推荐）in the competition for admission to graduate school. Others find no interest in their studies, and drop out —often encouraged by college administrators （教导主任）.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves —they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation （谴责）of the students as a whole, and does not explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot take in an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys （调查） upside down, it seems, and thinking of the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, or quick to learn things —maybe it is just the other way round, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy （异端邪说）to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But opposite evidence is beginning to mount up.68．According to the passage, the author believes that______.A. people used to question the value of college educationB. people used to have full confidence in higher educationC. all high school graduates went to collegeD. very few high school graduates chose to go to college69．In the 2nd paragraph, "those who don't fit the pattern" refers to______.A. high school graduates who aren't suitable for college educationB. college graduates who are selling shoes and driving taxisC. college students who aren't any better for their higher educationOrder 3Choose map typeAdd map textSpecify text locationChoose map locationChoose symbolSaveD. high school graduates who failed to be admitted to college70．According to the passage the problems of college education partly arise from the fact that______.A. society cannot provide enough jobs for properly trained college graduatesB. high school graduates do not fit the pattern of college educationC. too many students have to earn their own livingD. college administrators encourage students to drop out71．In this passage the author argues that______.A. more and more evidence shows college education may not be the best thing for high school graduatesB. college education is not enough if one wants to be successfulC. college education benefits only the intelligent, ambitious, and quick-learning peopleD. intelligent people may learn quicker if they don't go to collegeERail passengers are being forced to pay thousands of pounds more in fares as a result of poor advice from the national telephone help line and individual stations, a consumer organization reveals today. Research by Which? found that in some cases passengers are being charged almost double the cheapest price because of errors made by staff.Which? asked 25 questions of both station staff and the National Rail Enquiries （NRES）helpline. Only half of the 50 questions were answered correctly. If customers had followed all the advice given, they would have been ￡1,263. 60 worse off.Bad advice was given for the cheapest fare for a single journey between London and Grantham. For a ticket bought on the day of travel, both NRES and a King’s Cross station clerk quoted GNER’s ￡44. 50 fare, ignoring a Hull Trains service which leaves 10 minutes earlier and costs just ￡20.Some of the most costly misinformation was given for journeys where season tickets should have been recommended. Passengers making a return journey between Swindon and Penzance twice in a week could buy a ticket from one company for ￡70 which would cover all the travel. But both NRES and station staff quoted ￡67 for each journey, making ￡134. However, the NRES website proved to be a much more reliable source of information.Which? also checked “the earlier you book, the cheaper the ticket” claims by five companies and found this was not always the case. On some services, prices went up and down at random.Ithiel Mogridge, 52, gave one example of poor advice: “Last Christmas I f ound my brother a ticket on the train line. Come to travel from Blackburn to Yate. While the direct route was ￡51, this one involved a change in Newport and cost just ￡21. I emailed the details to him and his partner. They went to Blackburn station, where the clerk insisted the fare was ￡51.”Malcolm Coles, editor of said: “Staff training needs to be improved. In the meantime, we’ve designed a checklist, available at / railadvice.”72. According to the passage “which?” is a ________.A. national telephone helplineB. department under the British RailC. consumer organizationD. website under the National Rail Enquiries73. When the author said that customers “would have been ￡1,263. 60 worse off”, he was telling us that customers would have _________.A. saved ￡1,263. 60 if they had followed the adviceB. spend ￡1,263. 60 more than the lowest priceC. used ￡1,263. 60 for the survey of 25 questionsD. been cheated of ￡1,263. 60 from the poor advice74. The phrase at random in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_________”.A. casuallyB. purposefullyC. exactlyD. inevitably75. The passage is mainly concerned with the phenomenon that __________.A. rail passengers can get cheaper tickets if they book earlierB. rail passengers are ill-treated by station staffC. booking clerks and the telephone helpline offer reliable informationD. train passengers get bad advice on fares【答案】56.
