2020年公共英语五级考试经典阅读材料（3）Why the inductive and mathematical sciences, after their first rapid development at the culmination of Greek civilization, advanced so slowly for two thousand years-and why in the following two hundred years a knowledge of natural and mathematical science has accumulated, which so vastly exceeds all that was previously known that these sciences may be justly regarded as the products of our own times-are questions which have interested the modern philosopher not less than the objects with which these sciences are more immediately conversant. Was it the employment of a new method of research, or in the exercise of greater virtue in the use of the old methods, that this singular modern phenomenon had its origin? Was the long period one of arrested development, and is the modern era one of normal growth? Or should we ascribe the characteristics of both periods to so-called historical accidents-to the influence of conjunctions in circumstances of which no explanation is possible, save in the omnipotence and wisdom of a guiding Providence?The explanation which has become commonplace, that the ancients employed deduction chiefly in their scientific inquiries, while the moderns employ induction, proves to be too narrow, and fails upon close examination to point with sufficient distinctness the contrast that is evident between ancient and modern scientific doctrines and inquiries. Forall knowledge is founded on observation, and proceeds from this by analysis, by synthesis and analysis, by induction and deduction, and if possible by verification, or by new appeals to observation under the guidance of deduction-by steps whichare indeed correlative parts of one method; and the ancient sciences afford examples of every one of these methods, or parts of one method, which have been generalized from the examples of science.A failure to employ or to employ adequately any one of these partial methods, an imperfection in the arts and resources of observation and experiment, carelessness in observation, neglect of relevant facts, by appeal to experiment and observation-these are the faults which cause all failures to ascertain truth, whether among the ancients or the moderns; but this statement does not explain why the modern is possessed of a greater virtue, and by what means he attained his superiority. Much less does it explain the sudden growth of science in recent times.The attempt to discover the explanation of this phenomenon in the antithesis of “facts” and “theories” or “facts” and “ideas”-in the neglect among the ancients of the former, and their too exclusive attention to the latter-proves also to be too narrow, as well as open to the charge of vagueness. For in the first place, the antithesis is not complete. Facts and theories are not coordinate species. Theories, if true, are facts-a particular class of facts indeed, generally complex, and if a logical connection subsists between their constituents, have all the positive attributes of theories.Nevertheless, this distinction, however inadequate it may be to explain the source of true method in science, is well founded, and connotes an important character in true method.A fact is a proposition of simple. A theory, on the otherhand, if true has all the characteristics of a fact, except that its verification is possible only by indirect, remote, and difficult means. To convert theories into facts is to add simple verification, and the theory thus acquires the full characteristics of a fact.。

My older brother was really good at it and they supported him – taking him to lessons all the time. So I guess when I announced that I wanted to be a tennis champion when I grew up I just intended for them to notice me. My mother laughed. She knew I couldn’t possibly be serious, I was just a 4-year-old kid!Later, I joined the club’s junior coaching group and eventually took part in my first proper contest, confident that my team would do well. We won, which was fantastic, but I wasn’t so successful. I didn’t even want to be in the team photo because I didn’t feel I deserved to be. When my coach asked what happened in my final match, I didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t believe I’d lost – I knew I was the better player. But every time I attacked, the other player defended brilliantly. I couldn’t explain the result.After that, I decided to listen more carefully to my coach because he had lots of tips. I realised that you need the right attitude to be a winner. On court I have a plan but sometimes the other guy will do something unexpected so I’ll change it. If I lose a point, I do my best to forget it and find a way to win the next one.At tournaments, it’s impossible to avoid players who explode in anger. Lots of players can be negative – including myself sometimes. Once I got so angry that I nearly broke my racket! But my coach has helped me develop ways to control those feelings. After all, the judges have a hard job and you just have to accept their decisions.My coach demands that I train in the gym to make sure I’m strong right to the end of a tournament. I’m getting good results: my shots are more accurate and I’m beginning to realise that with hard work there’s a chance that I could be a champion one day.611 Harry thinks he said that he was going to be a tennis champion in order toA please his parents.B get some attention.C annoy his older brother.D persuade people that he was serious.12 How did Harry feel after his first important competition?A confused about his defeat.B proud to be a member of the winning team.C ashamed of the way he treated another player.D amazed that he had got so far in the tournament.13 What does Harry try to remember when he’s on the court?A Don’t let the other player surprise you.B Follow your game plan.C Respect the other player.D Don’t keep thinking about your mistakes.14 What does Harry say about his behaviour in tournaments?A He broke his racket once when he was angry.B He stays away from players who behave badly.C He tries to keep calm during the game.D He found it difficult to deal with one judge’s decisions.15 What might a sports journalist write about Harry now?AHarry needs to believe in his ownabilities and stop depending ongood luck when he plays.BHarry has really grown up since hisfirst tournament and discoveredthat tennis is a battle of minds notjust rackets.CHarry looked exhausted when hefinished his last match so maybehe should think about working out.DHarry could be a great player buthe needs to find a coach to takehim all the way to the bigcompetitions.7Turnover►Part 4Questions16 – 20Five sentences have been removed from the text below.For each question, choose the correct answer.There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.Planting treesby Mark Rotheram, aged 13This spring, our teacher suggested we should get involved in a green project and plant some trees around the school. Everyone thought it was a great idea, so we started looking online for the best trees to buy. 16 If we wanted them to grow properly, they had to be the right type – but there were so many different ones available! So our teacher suggested that we should look for trees that grew naturally in our part of the world. 17 They’d also be more suitable for the wildlife here.Then we had to think about the best place for planting the trees. We learnt that trees are happiest where they have room to grow, with plenty of space for their branches. The trees might get damaged close to the school playgrounds, for example. 18 Finally, we found a quiet corner close to the school garden – perfect!Once we’d planted the trees, we knew we had to look after them carefully. We all took turns to check the leaves regularly and make sure they had no strange spots or marks on them.19 And we decided to check the following spring in case the leaves turned yellow too soon, as that could also mean the tree was sick.We all knew that we wouldn’t be at the school anymore by the time the trees grew tall, and that was a bit sad. But we’d planted the trees to benefit not only the environment, but also future students at the school. 20 And that thought really cheered us up!8A So we tried to avoid areas where students were very active.B However, our parents did offer to help with the digging!C That could mean the tree had a disease.D But we soon found that choosing trees was quite complicated.E It can be quite good for young trees, though.F We knew they’d get as much pleasure from them as we had.G But at least we were doing it in the right season.H That way, the trees would be used to local conditions.►over 9TurnPart 5Questions 21 – 26For each question, choose the correct answer.This car runs on chocolate!Scientists have built a 300kph racing car that uses chocolate as a fuel!

2023新版PET解析之『阅读篇』剑桥通用英语五级考试中的Preliminary（PET）和Key（KET）在2023年进行了，相信备考生的家长们对此也有了一定的了解。
在测评后，很多家长都开始焦虑，不知道新版题型怎么考。
其实不管千变万变，“知己知彼，百战不殆”这个道理不变。
“不打无准备之仗”这个策略也不变。
所以，与其惶惶然地大叫“狼来了”，不如从现在开始专心学习，认真备考，为一举通过考试做好充分的准备。
我们都知道，后的PET试卷中听、说、读、写四个模块都各自为一个独立的部分，分别计算考试时间，并核算分数。
让我们先来看一组数据：以上数据为2023年11月17日Preliminary（PET）考生各项技能通过情况从以上数中可以看到，在读、写、听、说四个模块中：阅读（Reading）部分的通过率是最低的，仅为8%。
可以说，大部分考生没有顺利通过PET，都是因为“折”在了阅读上。
对于广大学员来说，至少在2023年的试题之前，Preliminary（PET）的阅读可以说是听、说、读、写四个技能考察中难度最高的一个模块。
那么后的情况会是什么样子呢？阅读试卷是后新增题型数量最多的模块。
由旧版试卷中的5大题型，变为改版后的6大题型，其中Part 4和Part 6的2个题型，都是新增题型。
换句话说，阅读试卷中有1/3的题型都是新增题型。
我们来看一下Preliminary（PET）阅读试卷中题型在前后变化最大的一道题目，Part 4：题目引用自剑桥官网Preliminary Schools 2023 Sample tests ReadingPart4中的阅读文章是阅读试卷题型中篇幅最长的文章之一、在文章中，有五个句子被摘除了，以选项的形式呈现，考生需要通过对文章阅读和理解，将被摘出的句子填回到文中正确的位置，使其恢复为一篇结构完整、语义通顺的文章。
Part 4作为阅读部分难度最大的题目，也许将直接决定考生是否能够在阅读模块达到通过的分数，并且顺利拿到Preliminary（PET）通过的证书。

It gets me out of my studio, and into the countryside. But more importantly, racing along as fast as you can leaves you no time to worry about anything that’s going on in your life. You’re too busy concentrating on not crashing. The only things you pay attention to are the pain in your legs and the rocks on the path in front of you.I’m in my sixties now, but I started cycling when I was a kid. In the summer my friends and I would ride our bikes into the woods and see who was brave enough to go down steep hills, or do big jumps. The bikes we had then weren’t built for that, and often broke, so I used to draw pictures of bikes with big thick tyres that would be strong enough for what we were doing. They looked just like modern mountain bikes. However, it wasn’t until many years later that someone actually invented one. By the 1980s, they were everywhere.At that time I was into skateboarding. I did that for a decade until falling off on to hard surfaces started to hurt too much. Mountain biking seemed a fairly safe way to keep fit, so I took that up instead. I made a lot of friends, and got involved in racing, which gave me a reason to train hard. I wanted to find out just how fit and fast I could get, which turned out to be fairly quick. I even won a couple of local races.In the end I stopped racing, mainly because I knew what it could mean to my career if I had a bad crash. But I still like to do a three-hour mountain bike ride every week. And if I’m out cycling in the hills and see a rider ahead, I have to beat them to the top. As I go past I imagine how surprised they would be if they knew how old I am.611 Peter enjoys mountain biking becauseA it gives him the opportunity to enjoy the views.B he can use the time to plan his work.C he is able to stop thinking about his problems.D it helps him to concentrate better.12 What does Peter say about cycling during his childhood?A He is sorry he didn’t take more care of his bike.B His friends always had better quality bikes than he did.C His bike wasn’t suitable for the activities he was doing.D He was more interested in designing bikes than riding them.13 Peter says he returned to cycling after several yearsA because he had become unfit.B so that he could enter races.C in order to meet new people.D to replace an activity he had given up.14 How does Peter feel about cycling now?A He is proud that he is still so fast.B He is keen to do less now that he is older.C He regrets the fact that he can no longer compete.D He wishes more people were involved in the sport.15 What would be a good introduction to this article?AFor Peter Fuller, nothing mattersmore than mountain biking, noteven his career.

Here hedescribes how it all began andwhat he gets out of it.CIn this article, Peter Fuller explainshow he became an artist only as aresult of his interest in mountainbiking.DAfter discovering mountain bikinglate in life, Peter Fuller gave up artfor a while to concentrate ongetting as good as possible.7Turnover►Part 4Questions 16 – 20Five sentences have been removed from the text below.For each question, choose the correct answer.There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.A new lifeI used to work as a college lecturer in the north of England, running photography courses. It wasn’t a bad job and I really liked my students, but I began to feel tired of doing the same thing every day.16I’d always loved travelling, so one weekend I typed ‘international volunteering’ into an internet search engine. At the top of the results page was the opportunity to go and stay on an island in the Indian Ocean, thousands of miles away, and help to protect the beaches and the sea life.17I had some diving experience, and the more I talked about it, the more I wanted to do it. So I contacted the organisation. One week later they offered to send me to the island and I accepted.18After all, the volunteer job was only for two months during the summer holidays. I thought after I’d finished, I’d come home.As soon as I got to the island, I was sure I’d done the right thing. My first dive was incredible.19 I felt so lucky to be able to experience that every day.In fact I loved it so much that I never came home! I’ve now been on the island for ten years and I have a permanent job. I’m working as a marine educator, teaching volunteers about the sea life and taking them snorkelling and diving. My desk is a picnic table 10 metres from the best beach on the island. Of course not everything about my new life is perfect.20However, I can’t imagine going back to my old life.8A That’s why I knew it was a terrible plan.B I had trained in icy water in the UK so the crystal clear warm water felt amazing.C They always ask lots of questions.D I work far harder than I used to.E I began joking to friends about sending in an application.F Afterwards, some people were surprised by my decision but I wasn’t too worried.G I decided I needed a break.H I needed to explain that first.►over 9TurnPart 5Questions 21 – 26For each question, choose the correct answer.The Coconut TreeThe coconut tree is thought to be one of the most valuable trees in the world.
