2011年12月英语三级考试最后冲刺试题及答案（第十三套）Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) (40%)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage IQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Scientists are trying to make the deserts into good land again. They want to bring water to the deserts so that people can live and grow food. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming desert all the time.Why? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth. Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some small green plants growing there. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. Without plants, the land can become a desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land.He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the rows of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away.Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and all of the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.21. A desert is probably _______.A) grassyB) treelessC) wetD) muddy22. Land is becoming desert because of lack of _______.A) rainB) windC) peopleD) plants23. Which of the following is NOT the reason why small green plants are very important to dry places?A) They keep the earth from becoming even drier.B) They do not let wind blow the earth away.C) They add color to the dry places.D) They hold water.24. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A) it is bad to plant in rows in a dry place.B) it is better to raise animals on dry land than to make a farm.C) it is bad to make a farm in a dry place, but it is good to raise animals there.D) all lands that don’t get very rain are deserts.25. What’s the purpose of the writer to give a n example of the man?A) To criticize him.B) To tell an interesting story.C) To prove man makes deserts.D) To prove the hot sun makes a desert.Passage IIQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Museums are places where collections of objects are preserved and displayed. The objects may be anything found in nature or made by man. There are museums devoted to art, science, history, industry, and technology.But museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums, large or small, carry on educational programs. Museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music and art lessons, and other attractions.Museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of displaying them. All museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. Works of art are bought from art dealers and collectors or at auction( 拍卖)sales. Museums also accept gifts and bequests（遗物），but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. They accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.What is to be gained from visiting museums? Museum exhibits can teach us about the world in which we live—the materials it is made of , the trees and plants that covers it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. We can learn about the activities of man—his history and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.26.The first paragraph deals with ____.A) what museums preserveB) what kind of objects museums displayC) where museums obtain their objectsD) how museums function27. Which statement is not true?A) Museums are not only storehouses for collections.B) Museums are places where you can learn something.C) Museums preserve and display only things found in nature.D) Museums carry on educational and research programs.28. Where do objects at museums usually come from?A) From auction salesB) From art dealers and collectorsC) From gifts and bequestsD) All the above.29. The large museums accept _____.A) everything offered to themB) all the gifts and bequestsC) only objects that meet their high standardD) only things that small museums do not have30. The last paragraph is about_____.A) the knowledge one gets from visiting museumsB) the things one can see in museumC) the world and the people living in itD) museum collections from other landsPassage IIIQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeatthat makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. I f you let a baby grasp a rod and to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.31. The author _______.A) orders you to analyze defeatB) wants you to face defeatC) advises you to let a baby grasp a rodD) warns you not to confuse defeat with failure32. Defeat is valuable _______.A) because it is a factorB) because it isn’t defeat that makes you failC) because it provides the guide and encouragement to successD) because it is not a thing to be ashamed of33. What does the author know?A) He knows every success in life.B) He knows the factor making for success.C) He knows every man who is able to analyze defeat.D) He knows the life of every man.34. The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely _______A) to be a successorB) to face it with feeling ashamedC) to achieve successD) to be ashamed of it35. What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives?A) One should explore it.B) One should explain it.C) One should let a baby grasp a rod.D) One should learn it.Passage IVQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Through a series of experiments an American scientist has obtained an understanding of the social structure of the most complex of ant societies. The ants examined are the only creatures other than man to have given up hunting and collecting for a completely agricultural way of life. In their underground nests they cultivate gardens on soil made from finely chopped leaves. This is a complex operation requiring considerable division of labor. The workers of this type of ant can be divided into four groups according to size. Each of the groups performs a particular set of jobs.The making and care of the gardens and the nursing of the young ants are done by the smallest workers. Slightly larger workers are responsible for chopping up leaves to make them suitable for use in the gardens and for cleaning the nest. A third group of still larger ants do the construction work and collect fresh leaves from outside the nest. The largest are the soldier ants, responsible for defending the nest.To find out how good the various size-groups are at different tasks, the scientist measured the amount of work done by the ants against the amount of energy they used. He examined first the gathering and carrying of leaves. He selected one of the size-groups, and then measured how efficiently these ants could find leaves and run back to the nest. Then he repeated the experiment for each of the other size-groups. In this way he could see whether any group could do the job more efficiently than the group normally undertaking it.The intermediate-sized ants that normally perform this task proved to be the most efficient for their energy costs, but when the scientist examined the whole set of jobs performed by each group of ants it appeared that some sizes of worker ant were not ideally suited to the particular jobs they performed.36. In which way are the ants different from other non-human societies?A) Individuals perform different functions.B) They do not need to look for shelter.C) Individuals vary in social status.D) They do not need to search for food.37. It seems that smaller ants perform more of the _______.A) construction tasksB) domestic tasksC) defensive workD) heavy work38. "Good" (par. 3, Line 1) refers to the ants’_______.A) co-operation in workB) sense of responsibilityC) work efficiencyD) willingness to work hard39. The scientist’s work was based on _______.A) occasional observationsB) biological theoriesC) observations of several nestsD) observations of an undisturbed nest.40. The organization of the ants has the effect of _______.A) getting the most work doneB) each ant doing what it can do bestC) each ant helping with all the tasksD) dividing the work up systematicallyPart III Vocabulary and Structure (15%)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Having them checked regularly can reduce the risks of accidents. Another important thing to consider is engine care. Always remember that the life and performance of your car engine depend on the engine oil. Replace the engine oil when recommended. If you feel the engine is very hot especially during summer it is probably because the cooling system doesn't work well. You'd better get the cooling system serviced before the start of summer.In a word, timely and proper servicing is an important task for car owners. Good servicing can not only extend the life of your newborn baby, but also ensure your safety, and the safety of those who share the road with you.1小题>To get familiar with the parts of a new car, the owner should ______.A regard the car as a new-born babyB have the car serviced before driving itC read through the instructions carefullyD examine all of the parts of the new car2小题>The brakes should be checked regularly ______.A to avoid accidentsB to raise speedC to reduce costD to save gas3小题>For a car engine to work long and well, the owner should ______.A replace the engine oil as recommendedB reduce the use of the car in summerC clean the engine parts regularlyD change the brakes frequently4小题>It is recommended to have the cooling system checked when ______.A you buy a new carB summer is comingC the engine oil is replacedD the brakes are out of order5小题>The last paragraph tells us that the purpose of carefully servicing a car is ______.A to let you sell your car at a good priceB to extend its life and ensure safetyC to reduce the cost of car servicingD to make the car run faster第25题：Reading Comprehension:General PoliciesOnce the flight ticket has been issued, the name on the ticket cannot be changed.Ticket is non-refundable (不能退款的)Please review your itinerary (行程安排) immediately.

My idea was to create a small business profiling (介绍；概述) site that would make it easy for people to find places to go when they needed or wanted a particular service or item. I thought I should keep the idea a secret until it had been completely developed so no one could steal it. However, I should have talked to businesses and their customers to see if they would use a service like this. At the rime, I thought this idea was brilliant. I outsourced (把…外包) the coding work, and spent $1000 of my own money, to build a product that was far from the one I expected. My money was wasted, and I had found out the hard way that my idea couldn‟t work.From this experience I learned a couple of things, one of which was that outsourcing work is a very risky move that should only be done with care and great attention. The other thing I learned was that sharing your idea with others is much more valuable than keeping it to yourself. By giving others an idea of what you aretrying to do, you will get valuable feedback as well as figure out whether or not your idea has legs.33．The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _____.A) emphasize the importance of the urge to start a companyB) explain his idea about creating a business websiteC) share some lessons he learned in starting a businessD) give warnings to the readers against outsourcing34. The author decided to create a website because he believed it would _____.A) provide a convenient service B) lead people to small businessesC) be completely developed D) bring ideas to make his business grow35. The author started creating his business profiling site without _____.A) a unique service for customers B) an intension for investmentC) an investigation into the business D) outsourcing the coding work36. The author felt very much disappointed when _____.A) he talked to businesses and customersB) he finally finished his coding workC) he found his brilliant idea stolenD) he saw he finished product of the website37. If the author has another great idea to start a business, he would first _____.A) try harder to keep the idea a secret B) talk with people for their feedbackC) start it together with other people D) avoid investing with his own money Passage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Beijing is asking its citizens for opinions about the proposed garbage classification rules that it intends to introduce to better manage trash. As the most effective way to reduce harmful gases emitted from trash-burners, classification is a step toward the goal of reducing the total amount of trash.So far, classification of trash has only been practiced in some communities on a trial basis and investigations show that most residents haven‟t developed the awareness or habit of sorting trash into different containers. Some residents ignore the different trash cans and throw bags of mixed waste into the nearest can.How to make residents cooperate in garbage sorting remains the sticking point. Grassroots government, such as district committees and neighborhood committees, must be well organized and take responsibility for helping the public understand why trash classification is important and how it is done.In addition, community workers need to play a much more active role. Community workers need to guide residents so they know what kind of trash to put in which can. They also need to find whether there are residents who disobey the rules and throw away mixed trash.It is perhaps not easy for some residents to develop the new habit of putting different trash into different bags, but they must change. The safe disposal of urban waste will never be realized without trash sorting by residents.That process is a must for the rules to work.38. As the government prepares to introduce rules for garbage classification, citizens of Beijing are asked to _____.A) throw out less garbage B) tell what they think about the rulesC) reduce trash burning D) improve management of trash39. At present, classification of garbage in Beijing _____.A) is regarded as impractical B) is unknown to the residentsC) has met objection from residents D) has begun in some places40. Investigations show that most residents dispose mixed waste without _____.A) habit of putting garbage into trash cans B) practice of using garbage bagsC) awareness of trash classification D) guidance to use different containers41. The word “grassroots” (line 1, paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _____.A) “directly facing the residents”B) “in relation with grasslands”C) “in the countryside”D) “responsible for environment”42. The biggest challenge for the city to realize safe garbage disposal lies in _____.A) getting the public to cooperateB) reducing the emission of harmful gasesC) finding the residents who ignore the rulesD) organizing district and community committeesPassage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.In the United States, the handshake has become an extremely ambiguous (含糊的) symbol. At one level, it just means “hello”or “goodbye.”But it can also be interpreted as “we‟re in agreement.”And on a still deeper level, it can mean “everything‟s OK between us,” particularly after some conflict has been settled. But sometimes social custom awkwardly calls for shaking hands to signify (表示) the end of a meeting, even though no agreement has been reached or a state of conflict still exists.Then, of course, business types will read all sorts of meaning into the very style of your handshake. Even if you execute it under exactly the right circumstances, it must be firm but not too firm; it must be held for exactly the right amount of time but no longer; it must be accompanied by direct eye contact; and, to be more sincere, you should add your left hand to make a “hand sandwich.” You may also be judged on the angle of your hand and the number and intensity of shakes.And if this kind of confusion isn‟t bad enough, that‟s just the standard, ordinary handshake. Gangs (黑帮团伙) sometimes use special handshakes to signify group membership, and use “secret handshakes” as a kind of password, a symbolic way of saying, “We‟re insiders.”So if someone outside the group incorrectly attempts a handshake, the results can be quite serious. On the other hand, a high five (arguably a variety of handshake) pretty unambiguously expresses satisfaction or congratulations --- but that‟s the exception.43. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A) Handshaking is ambiguous because it causes confusion.B) Handshaking is an awkward practice of social custom.C) Handshaking signifies that an agreement has been reached.D) Handshaking may mean differently in different situations.44. In business handshakes, “a hand sandwich” is made when _____.A) you shake for a longer amount of timeB) you want to show you are very sincereC) you make eye contact and shake firmlyD) you use your left hand for shaking45. The number and intensity of shakes would be judged on business occasionsbecause _____.A)they show your personal preferenceB)they convey extra meanings in the handshakeC)they would possibly cause conflictsD)they signify your style of handshakes46. Gangs sometimes use special handshakes to _____.A) keep a gang secret among themselvesB) admit a new member into their groupC) show that they belong to the same groupD) pass a password to all the insiders47. A high five is usually used for _____.A) the end of an argument B) a password among gang membersC) satisfaction or congratulations D) an exceptional occasionPassage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.According to a recent food survey by the European food Safety Authority (EFSA), most Europeans aren‟t overly concerned about …food scares,‟ or food-related risks.Around 27,000 consumers across the European Union were asked a range of questions relating to the possible risks associated with food and the level of confidence in public authorities on food safety-related issues.When it came to the response to the threat of food scares, UK respondents (应答人) were less worried about all of the perceived food-related risks than their European counterparts (相对应的人或物) but were most concerned about the welfare of farmed animals and the quality and freshness of food. Only 29 percent of UK respondents thought that food could possibly damage their health, as opposed to 48 percent in the rest of the respondents were also less likely to permanently change their eating habits after hearing that a type of food was unsafe from media stories (only seven percent as opposed to 11 percent in the rest of Europe).Asked how they respond to information on food-related matters communicated in the media or on the Internet, about half of the EU respondents said they ignored stories in the media or worried about them but did not change their eating habits.The findings provide an important resource for carrying out further research on the relation between trust in information sources, confidence in public authorities and perception (看法) of food-related risks。

1-5 B C A A A 6-10 D B D C C11-13 C A C 14-16 C C B 17-20 D C D CFor Americans, time is money. They say, “You only get so much time in this life: you’d better use it wisely.” The future will not be 21 better than the past or present, 22 unless people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans 23 admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a 24 schedule for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other people’s time. They do not 25 waste people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no 26 visible beneficial outcome.The American attitude toward time is not necessarily 27 shared by others, especially non- Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as 28 something that simply there around them not something they can use. One of the more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.In this context the fast food industry can be seen as 29 a clear example of American culture product McDonal d’s, KFC, and other fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as 30 a symbol of American society and culture bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.Passage one31.

questions on eachtext by choosing A，B，C or D．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1．Text 1Karen and Ken Mullin．a youngprofessional couple in Cleveland，own fifty cookbooksand twofull)equipped kitchens in their house．Yet they rarely cook their own meals；instead，on their way home from work they usually stop at a supermarket andchoose two portions of meat loaf and a containerof ready-to-serve potatoes．“My job，”sa ys Karen，“is to pour the salad from the bag．”A half-century after the first TVdinner was born，the food industry is approaching its long—sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins ofunpaid labor in the final，and arguably most profitable，step by which a cow gets turnedinto meat loaf．Increasingly，tables in America‟skitchens are used not for cutting orpeeling but for putting takeout food onto plates．For thosewho even bother withplates．According to Harry Balzar，an influential food—industry researcher，American dinners that came from atakeout counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade．“We thought the micro- wave would be acooking device，”says Harry Balzer，“but we find it reheating takeout pizza．”Across the United States，entire business models arebeing transformed．Supermarket takeout counters，formerly aplace where unsold chickens were coated with sauce，increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias．with sushi bars and stir—fry stations．One psychologist thinks the,trend toward healthier eatingis responsible：Americans have finally gotten the message that it‟s bad to eat fried chicken，so they‟re doing it at home where no one can see them．Of course，there are people you wouldn‟t expect to cook at home，like Steve Traxler，an un·married Chicago theaterproducer，whose refrigerator contains little more than orange juice，wine ard leftovers．Well，somebody must beusing those cookbooks，right?“People don‟thave time to cook；I think they‟re reading them in bed，”says Rozanne Gold，author of a cookbook．It‟snot entirely a question of time．The takeout fashion is fueled，in part，by the popularity of foods like sushi，which even adventuresomeAmerican cooks are unlikely to try to make at home．And takeout fills another need aswell，for the atmosphere of thehome—cooked dinner．46．From the text we can learn that theMullins __________．[A]are experienced in cooking[B]are expert at food shopping[C]often go dining out at

Part II Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage IQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passages:In 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can be stressful. Negative events like “serious illness of a family member” were high on the list, but so were some positive life-changing events, like marriage. When you take the Holmes–Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflect how you deal with stress – it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now know that the way you handle these events dramatically affects your chances of staying healthy.By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow, the research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women’s magazines ran headlines like “Stress causes illness!”If you want to stay physically and mentally healthy, the article said, avoid stressful events.But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if stressful events are dangerous, many –like the death of a loved one – are impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a prescription for staying away from opportunities as well as trouble. Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move.The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot of what we know about people. It assumes we’re all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face of adversity. But what about human initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physical and mental vigor than they had before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical and mental strain.1. The result of Holmes–Rahe medical research tells us ______ .A) the way you handle major events may cause stressB) what should be done to avoid stressC) what kind of event would cause stressD) how to cope with sudden change of life2. The studies on stress in the early 1970’s led to ______.A) widespread concern over its harmful effectsB) great panic over the mental disorder it could causeC) an intensive research into stress –related illnessesD) popular avoidance of stressful jobs3. The score of the Holmes–Rahe test shows .A) how much pressure you are underB) how positive events can change your lifeC) how stressful a major event can beD) how you can deal with life –changing events4. Why is “such simplistic advice”(Line 1, Para. 3) impossible to follow?A) No one can stay on the same job for long.B) No prescription is effective in relieving stress.C) People have to get married someday.D) You could be missing opportunities as well.5. According to the passage people who have experienced ups and downs may become ________.A) nervous when faced with difficultiesB) physically and mentally strainedC) more capable of coping with adversityD) indifferent toward what happens to themPassage IIQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The octopus (章鱼)’s reputation as a human-killer isn’t simply an exaggeration –it is a total myth. The octopus can indeed be a deadly hunter, but only of its natural prey. Clams, mussels, crabs, lobsters and an occasional sick or unwary fish have reason to be frightened of this multi-armed predator, but a person is much too large to interest even the biggest octopus. Even a giant among octopuses is much smaller than most people imagine. Far from being large enough to engulf (吞下) a submarine, as monster octopuses in movies have been known to do, the largest octopuses, found on the Pacific coast, weigh around 110 pounds and grow to a diameter of no more than ten feet.The hard, parrot-like beak (嘴) of an octopus is not used for attacking deep-sea divers, but for cutting open crabs and lobsters. Indeed, the octopus possesses such a tiny throat that it cannot swallow large pieces of meat. It feeds instead by pouring digestive juices into its victims, and then sucking up the soupy remains. A clam or scallop (扇贝) that finds itself in the grasp of an octopus has only a short time to live. But human beings are perfectly safe. Still, people rarely care to venture close enough to these timid creatures to get a good look at them.6. This passage is mainly about _________.A) the horrors of the octopusB) the largest octopus in the worldC) octopuses and their behaviourD) the octopus’s deadly hunting method7. It is implied but not stated in the passage that _______________.A) people have groundless fears about the octopusB) the octopus is not interested in human beings because they are too large for itC) the octopus is afraid of human beingsD) the octopus is a very vicious sea animal8. Which of the following statements is true?A) The octopus usually uses its eight tentacles to tear its prey into pieces before eating it up.B) The octopus always catches sick and careless fish.C) The octopus never attacks people.D) The octopus can engulf submarines.9. The hard beak of the octopus is used for .A) attacking deep-sea diversB) cutting up large pieces of meatC) cutting open its preyD) defending itself10. From the passage, we can conclude that .A) the octopus is not dangerous to man, as many people believe it to beB) people often fear creatures that are not dangerous to themC) the octopus only hunts its natural preyD) things described in movies are not to be believedPassage IIIQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:These days there are so many stories about the criminal activities of athletes that sports pages are beginning to look like police reports. What’s going on? American sports fans ask over their morning toast and coffee, What’s happening to our heroes?It’s not difficult to understand our desire for athletes to be heroes. On the surface, at least, athletes display a vital and indomitable spirit; they are gloriously alive inside their bodies. And sports do allow us to witness acts that can legitimately be described as courageous, thrilling, beautiful, even noble. In an increasingly complicated and disorderly world, sports are still an arena in which we can regularly witness a certain kind of greatness.Yet there’s something of a paradox here, for the very qualities a society tends to seek in its heroes –selflessness, social consciousness, and the like –are precisely the opposite of those needed to transform a talented but otherwise unremarkable neighborhood kid into a Michael Jordan. To become a star athlete, you have to have an extremely competitive outlook and you have to be totally focused on the development of our own physical skills. These qualities may well make a great athlete, but they don’t necessarily make a great person. On top of this, our society reinforces these traits by the system it has created to produce athletes –a system characterized by limited responsibility and enormous privilege.The athletes themselves suffer the costs of this system. Trained to measure themselves perpetually against the achievements of those around them, many young athletes develop a sense of what sociologist Walter Schafer has termed “conditional self-worth”. They learn very quickly that they will be accepted by the important figures in their lives –parents, coaches and peers as long as they are perceived as “winners”. Unfortunately they become conceited and behave as if their athletic success will last forever.11. In paragraph 1, we know that when Americans read the sports pages they ______.A) are able to get information about sports gamesB) know more about athletes’private livesC) are surprised to find that their heroes are committing various crimes.D) are like reading police reports.12. The author suggests that people want athletes to be heroes because ______.A) athletes don’t display a vital and indomitable spiritB) in sports we can see a certain kind of greatnessC) athletes stand for successD) all athletes are courageous and noble13. The author argues that __________.A) the qualities that make a successful athlete don’t necessarily make a great personB) the qualities a society seeks in its heroes are precisely the ones needed to transform a talented child into a great athleteC) our society has created an effective system to transform athletes into heroesD) our society is responsible for reinforcing the qualities of great athletes14. By saying that young athletes develop a sense of “conditional self-worth”(paragraph 4), the author means that _______.A) they are valued by others as long as they winB) young athletes are easily accepted by their parents, coaches and peersC) young athletes are always perceived as winnersD) young athletes lack the sense of self-worth15. What is the author’s attitude toward today’s social system characterized by limited responsibility and enormous privilege?A) Positive. B) Favorable.C) Critical. D) Ironical.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products. But because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastics.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled (回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life –and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste–management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving of more than $ 100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.16. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?A) Average companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.B) Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C) A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.D) Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back onreturning them.17. The returned plastic bottles in New York used to .A) end up somewhere undergroundB) be turned into raw materialsC) have a second-life valueD) be separated from other rubbish18. The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is .A) to sell them in at a profitable priceB) how to turn them into useful thingsC) how to reduce their recycling costsD) to lower the prices for used materials19. Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because .A) local governments find it easy to manageB) recycling has great appeal for the joblessC) recycling causes little pollutionD) other methods are more expensive20. It can be concluded from the passage that .A) rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materialsB) local governments in the U.S. can expect big profits from recyclingC) recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentallyD) landfills will still be widely used for waste disposalPart II Reading Comprehension (20%)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
