Alice observes Arthur，sitting quietly across the room enjoying his cup of tea．“I don’t know．”she says，laughing.The johns shared a big bed until a few years ago，when their aching bodies finally forced them to sleep separately．But Alice still gets up every morning and fixes her husband coffee and toast．Alice and Arthur don’t talk much these days．He can’t see but can hear pretty well．Alice can see with the help of glasses，but can’t hear clearly．This，together with Arthur’s failing memory and mind，makes conversation tough．“Mom has a tough time with Dad these days because of his poor health．” says Dorothy．“But they have always cared for each other．”And they inspired strong values in their children：never gossip，respect your elders，be clean--even if you’re living in a tent—and be kind to one another．20．What does the word“suitor”(Para．2) probably mean?A．A person who asks for marriage．B．A person who Joins a hunting teamC．A male friend of the girl’s family．D．A 15-year-old village girl.21．What contributions to the long marriage according to the passage?A．Similar living habits．B．Love at first sightC．Lots of children and grandchildren．D．Tolerance towards each other．22．Why are Arthur and Alice no longer sleeping in the same bed?A．Arthur can’t see clearly．B．Alice has no prepare breakfast．C．They feel strong pain in their bodies．D．They don’t get up at the same time．23．According to Dorothy，what helps her parents go through the tough time?A．Having the habit of being clean．B．Respecting their elders．C．Inspiring their children．D．Looking after each other．Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage．Have you ever wondered how historic places survive over time? One of the ways is through the World MonumentsFund(WMF)．The WMF is a group of experts who work to save the most treasured places on Earth．Every two years，the WMF announces a Watch List，a 1ist of special places that need requiring or improvement．This year’S sites spread across 41 countries and six continents．Like endangered(濒危的)animals，some places are considered endangered because，without help，they might not survive on their own．Sites are placed on the list for many different reasons．Some sites are added because they have been ignored over the years and fallen into disrepair．Others are added because natural disasters have harmed the site．Six sites in the United States are on the list this year．One of the spots is a historical district in Charleston，South Carolina，which is popular with people on vocation．Another U.S.Site is located on the Fifth Avenue in New York City．Built in 1954, the Manufacturers Hanover Tr ust Company Bank was called the“glass house．”It is a four—story bank．Because the building is made of glass，you can see the giant vault(拱顶)right inside the bank．Many artists think the building is a special part of New York City’S history．Improving sites can be very expensive．This year，American Express donated(捐赠)five million dollars to help the project over the next five years．’WMF president Bonnie Burnham said it’s important to save as much history as much history as possible in a rapidly changing world．“We’re shaping the world of tomorrow．”she said．“But we’re doing it in the present．”24．What is the mission of the World Monuments Fund?A．To repair historic places．B．To protect wild animals．C．To preserve endangered historic sites．D．To prevent disasters from damaging the sites．25．The word“disrepair”(Para．3) is closest in meaning to______.A. bad conditionB. serious threatC. negative influenceD. urgent consideration26．What is most special about the Manufacturers Hanover Trust Company Bank in New York City?A．It was built in 1954．B．It is made of glass．C．It is located on the Fifth Avenue in New York City．D．The building has four floors．27．Why is the WMF important to our changing world?A．It provides US with donations．B．It announces a watch list every year．C．It is popular with people on vocation．D．It helps US save as much history as possible．Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.Almost nine in ten university graduates with first or second class degrees see freelancing(⾃由职业)as a profitable career choice，according to a new survey.A fifth of graduates with first class degrees have already decided to work as a freelancer，the study shows，while 29％of allgraduates intend to make freelance work part of their career plans. 85％say they see it becoming the norm(常规)within the next five Years.The findings suggest graduates are drawn to freelancing by the independence and flexibility on offer：more than two thirds said freelancing presented a better work—life balance than a traditional job，and 38％found the variety offered by freelance work appealing．Graduates may also be keen to gain more control over their lives after university；28％said they see freelancing as a good way to work for themselves．Recent figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency show that one in ten young people are still out of work six months after graduation．The potential to make money was also tempting；38％of those surveyed said they believe they can earn at least as much as they would with a traditional career.Graduates，parents were less certain，however．41％of respondents though their parents would view freelancing as a risky career move，mentioning concerns about healthcare and pensions(退休⾦)，and just one in ten said their parents would actively encourage them to freelance．The study of 1，032 graduates was conducted by Elance，the online work platform．There are about 1.4 million freelancers in Britain，mostly working in programming，design and multimedia，or writing and translation．28．According to the passage，freelance Jobs cannot offer______．A．flexibility B. earning potentialC．work—life balance D.

He limits sugar intake to before and after workouts，both fueling his body and satisfying his sweet tooth．32．What is the author’s opinion about soft drinks?A．They are of little value．B．They contain too much sugar．C.

2014年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题和答案解析Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden-since 2000, the company has earned more than $ 800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 C to produce a 1 C coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same? Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities（慈善机构）that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1. what is the main idea of the passage?A.Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B.These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C.There is disagreement over whether the U.S. should stop using pennies.D.Many countries have stopped using pennies.2. The mission of ACC is to ______.A. conduct online surveysB.lower the production costs of the pennyC. raise money for charitiesD.keep the penny in use3. The penny coin is mainly made of _____.A. copperB. steelC. ironD. zinc4. What does the sentence "the penny's days may be numbered" in the last paragraph probably mean?A.The penny may be out of use very soon.B.The value of the penny may rise.C.The penny has a special place in American history.D.The penny is part of American culture.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Jarden is the sole supplier of the zinc the U.S. Mint uses to make the penny.B. The majority of American people are in favor of keeping the penny.C. Many Americans fear that getting rid of the penny would cause prices to rise.D. The U.S. Mint now spends 2.4 cents to make a penny.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight children. His father always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood. Many of his stories and books were about poor people and their problems.(78)Later, Charles went back to school for two more years. He left school when he was 15 years old to become a newspaper reporter. In 1836, he began to write The Pickwick Papers. It was published as a series and was a huge success. By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in both Great Britain and the United States.Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud. Because there was no radio or television, people liked to hear famous writers read in public. Dickens read his works like he was acting in a play. He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous (过分注意琐事的）. Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place. He worked at a desk by a window that always had a vase (花瓶) of flowers and the same ornaments (装饰物) on it. (79)He wrote 2, 000 words a day and he required complete quiet while he wrote. He divided his page into three parts, and on each side he had notes in difficult colors.

The electronic waster (e-waste) from this constantly growing field is polluting the environment, both here and abroad.Computers contain toxic (有毒的) materials such as lead. Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that's exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积), which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries.(80)Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem. In the Netherlands, you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $50 for recycling your old computer when you buy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations.11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The Main Exports of AmericaB. The Computer TakeBack CampaignC. The Harm of E-waste TreatmentD. Electronic Waste-a Global Problem12.

2014高考英语阅读理解精英训练题（3）及答案（201*·福建卷）EThe internet will open up new vistas (前景),creat the global village- -you can make new friends all around the world. That,at least, is what it promised us. The difficulty is thatIt did not take the human mind into account. The reality is that we cannot keep relationship than a limited number of people. No matter how hard the internet tries to putYou in communication, its best efforts will be defeated by your mind.The problem is twofold（双重的）. First, there is a limit on the number of people we can hole in mind and have a meaningful relationship with. That number is about 150 and is set by the size of our brain. Second, the quality of your relationships depends on the amount of time you invest （投入） in then. We invest a lot in a small number of people and then distribute what’s left among as many others as we can. The problem is that if we invest little time in a person, our engagement with that person will decline （减弱）until eventually it dies into “someone I once knew”.T his is not, of course, to say that the internet doesn’t serve a socially valuable function. Of course it does. But the question is not that it allows you to increase the size of your social circle to include the rest of the world, but that you can keep your relationships with your existing friends going even though you have to more to the other side of the world.In one sense, that’s a good thing. But it also has a disadvantage. If you continue to invest in your old friends even though you can no longer see then, then certainly you aren’t using your time to make new friends where you now live. And I suspect that probably isn’t the best use of your time. Meaningful relationships are about being able to communicate with each other, face to face. The internet will slow down the rate with which relationships end, but it won’t stop that happening eventually.72. What is stressed in the first paragraph?A. The present situation of the internet.B. The difficulty in communication on the internet.C. The socially valuable function of the internet.D. The role of the human mind in the internet communication.73. The underlined word “engagement” in the second paragraph probably means “____”.A. appointmentB. connectionC. interviewD. agreement74. According to the passenger, the author holds the view that____.A. the internet fails to play so valuable a role in communication as it promisedB. the internet determines the quality of social relationshipsC. the internet greatly increases the size of social circlesD. the internet communication is no less effective than theface-to-face talk75. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of the internet to strengthen relationships?A. He is uncertain about it.B. He is hopeful of it.C. He approves of it.D. He doubts it.【答案】DBAD第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital (重要的) to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and iii health.The amount of stress a person can withstand (忍受) depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress. Such characters are best for management. Others lose heart at the first signs of stress. When exposed to stress we react both chemically and physically. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to deal with it.In paragraph 3, "such a reaction" refers back to ______.A asking a choice between "flight or fight"B "reaction to stress both chemically and physically"C "responding to crises quickly"D "losing heart at the signs of difficulties"【正确答案】：B【本题分数】：1.0分【答案解析】推理题。

Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter m the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten, usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is "morally wrong". This statement has some support, as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families—a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.(76) Pre.school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr, Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the states to expand it to every American child. It later became known that "every" meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line—equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.(77) Some critics say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9.to.l 1.year.olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended pre.school had better literacy (读写能力), language, maths and science skills. And two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school.based early education. 1．Kindergarten in rich countries other than America usually begins at the age of_______A. eightB. sevenC. sixD. four 2．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Poor pre.school kids have a larger vocabulary than rich kids.B. President Obama believes that early education can solve all economic and social problems.C. Rich pre.school kids have a richer vocabulary than poor kids.D. President Obama's education secretary thinks it is morally wrong to let kids start kindergarten early.3．Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE?A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.B. New Jersey has created a new Head Start to help disadvantaged kids.C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.D. Two years of pre.kindergarten were better than one.4．The phrase "single out" in the last paragraph means _______.A. chooseB. think aboutC. countD. depend on 5．Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Secondary EducationB. Pre.school EducationC. Poor Kids’ Educ ationD. Rich Kids' Education答案详解：1. D four第一段第一句说美国的幼儿园一般在五到六岁开始，第二句说在富裕国家里这么晚才开始是十分奇怪的，所以是在五岁以前，综合答案选择D，四岁。
