第二部分英语知识运用参考译文芝加哥大学有一个特别的实验室只有在晚上才繁忙。
这是一个进行梦的研究的实验室。
在这里研究人员对做梦的人进行研究。
他们从研究发现中总结出每天晚上每人都做3—7个梦，尽管通常情况下一个人只能记住一个或忘记他所做的全部的梦。
当被研究对象睡眠时，特殊的机器记录下他们的脑电波、眼球的运动及表示梦结束的身体的运动。
令人惊奇的是所有的被研究对象都睡得很熟。
观察人员发现人在做梦之前身体会不安地移动。
一旦梦开始了，身体会放松，眼部则开始活跃起来，就像帷幕已经拉开，演出即将开始。
当机器表明梦已结束时，蜂鸣器会叫醒睡眠者。
他会站起来，记录下他的梦，然后继续睡，或许会做更多的梦。
研究人员发现如果一个做梦的人在他的梦结束之后马上被叫醒，那么他一般能够回忆出整个的梦。
如果他再睡上5分钟，对于梦的记忆就会逐渐消失。
这就是为什么大多数人晚上做很多梦，但早上却几乎都不记得了。

公共英语三级（PETS3）模拟真题试卷附答案（2）2016年公共英语三级(PETS3)模拟真题试卷（附答案）[D]all of the aboveText 3Fishing adds only about one percent to the global economy, but on a regional basis it can contribute extremely to human survival. Marine fisheries contribute more t the world’s supply of protein than beef, poultry or any other animal source.Fishing typically does not need land ownership, and because it remains, generally, open to all, itis often the employer of last resort in the developing world an occupation when there are no otherchoices. Worldwide, about 200 million people rely on fishing for their livelihoods. Within Southeast Asia alone, over five million people fish full time. In northern Chile forty percent of the populationlives off the ocean. In Newfoundland most employment came from fishing or servicing that indus-try--until the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early 1990s that left tens of thousands of people outof work.Though debates over the conservation of natural resources are often cast as a conflict betweenjobs and the environment ,the restoration of fish populations would i fact boost employment. MichaelP. Sissenwine and Andrew A. Rosenberg of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service have esti-mated that if depleted species were allowed to rebuild to their long term potential, their sustainable use would add about $8 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product and provide about 300,000 jobs. Iffish poupulations were restored and properly managed, about twenty million metric tons could be added to: the world’s annual catch. But restoration of ecological balance, fiscalprofitability (收益) andeconomic security will require a continual reduction in the capacity of the commercial fishing industryso that wild populations can recover.The necessary reductions in fishing workforce need not come at the expense of jobs. Governments could increase employment and reduce the pressure on fish populations by guiding subsidies away from highly mechanised ships. For each $1,000,000 of investment, industrial scale fishing operations require only one to five people, while small scale fisheries would employ between 60 and 3,000. Industrial fishing itself threatens tens of millions of fishermen working on a small scale by depleting the fish on which they depend for subsistence.56. The animal source which provides the most protein for human being is________[A]beef[B]fish[C]pork[D]chicken57. Paragraph 2 indicates that________[A]most of man’s employment is from fishing[B]man can always turn to fishing for employment[C]forty percent of Chileans live on fishing boats or ships[D]fishing has been the biggest industry in Newfoundland58. In the conflict between jobs and the environment,the author takes sides with those who are in favour of________[A]increasing the annual catch[B]creating more jobs[C]getting greater fiscal profitability[D]conserving natural resources59. The balance between jobs and the environment can bekept if____[A]fishing capacity is further increased[B]fishing jobs are further increased[C]fewer well-equipped fishing ships are used[D]fewer species are allowed to rebuild60. The passage suggests that making less use of modern technology may________[A]reduce pressure on fish populations[B]threaten the world’s annual catch[C]increase government's investment[D]cost tens of thousands of fishermen’s jobsPaula:The furore is determined by the actions of the present day. The responsibility we have for the fu-ture begins when we recognize that we ourselves create the future-that the future is not somethingimposed upon us by fate or other forces beyond our control. We ourselves build the future boththrough what we do and what we do not do.Mrs. John:The future will see more unbelievable things. In the future, people will be able to predict theirperformance from the strength of the brain’s electrical activity. Doctor Kramer has found that thestrength of the brain’s electrical activity can be measured through the scalp (头皮). Bosses couldmeasure brain activity through the scalp and tell whether a worker is performing well, working hard,or too tired to do the job properly.Mary:In the new century, things around us will be more fascinating. The chemical element in the heart issaid to increase your desire for fat, when is stimulated. This means that disturbances of thischemical ge-latin can lead to overeating. Doctor Sarah Leibowits presented an academic paper suggesting that the ap-petite for fat rich food can be controlled through drugs that block the effects of gelatin.Judy:In the future our life will change dramatically. It is quite certain that computers will play animportant part in our life. You will visit your doctor, and find that he uses a computer screen andvisual information about your condition, instead of his text books. Computers in your home will enable you to answer interactive questions about your health and show the alternative results whichwill affect you if you act in a certain way.Carrie:In the future, computers will change the way the doctors diagnose and treat their patients. Alsodoctors will change their traditional notion of medicine. Although pills for tension, heart conditions, being overweight and other life threatening conditions are prescribed by western doctors, most doctors now require patients to focus on healthy way of living by changing diets and doingmore exercise as a means to keep fit.Now match each of the items (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Paula62. Mrs. John63. Mary64. Judy65. Carrieweight.[A]You build your own future.[B]Healthy lifestyle will be a more popular way to keep fit.[C]Computer will be an effective tool for doctors.[D]Doctors may not need pills for heart troubles or over[E]Your brain waves may be used to check out your work performance.[F]People will be able to visit doctors more frequently.[G]Our appetite will be well controlled by drugs.Part A66. Please write a notice entitled "No Smoking" to put on the carriages of a train. You should use approximately 100 words. It may include the following points:1) no smoking in the carriages. Smoking is only permitted in the Smoking Area.2) smoking is not only bad for smokers' health but also bad for people around them.3) anyone who smokes in the carriages will be fined.Part B67.

I asked a lady from Ohio why she had come. “For Shakespeare, “she said. “Isn’t that why you came?”“Not entirely, “I said. “I was born here. I’m visiting my family. ““You were born here?”she said, as if only Shakespeare had the right. It was my first time home many years. Long ago I had emigrated to America. How I was visiting places in which I had taken little interest before the birthplace for example. I had passed it perhaps a hundred times without a thought of going in. Now it would cost me just under two pounds, about $3. But even stranger experience was buying a ticket to the school two members of my family had attended. Shakespeare had gone there though 350 years before. It was a good school, but I was fortunate in being sent to a better one. “Better than Shakespeare’s?”asked an American to whom I had confided. “I don’t see how that could be possible, “he had muttered before turning away. I had taken Shakespeare for granted. However, in my current tourist status, that would have to be changed. Respect was called for. I must learn to refer to him as the hard, and not as Will in the familiar way, and never a “Willie-the-Shake”, which is the inelegant but customary nickname of some of the younger generation. This was no problem. Shakespeare worship had been made earlier since my day. Every building with Shakespeare connections was preserved. An inclusive ticket enabled holders to see them all.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Water problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease substantially the amount of water available for diluting wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complex chemical processes will produce larger volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are noxious. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that drastic steps must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem. There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwindled. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution hazard. This involves the processing of solid wastes “prior to”disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes, or effluents, to permit the reuse of the water or minimize pollution upon final disposal. A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Farm manure is spread in fields as a nutrient or organic supplement. Effluents from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas both for irrigation andfor the nutrients contained. Effluents from other processing plants may also be used as a supplemental source of water. Many industries, such as meat and poultry processing plants, are currently converting former waste products into marketable by-products. Other industries are exploring potential economic uses for their waste products.5．The purpose of this passage is______.A．to acquaint the reader with water pollution problemsB．to alert the reader to the dwindling water supplyC．to explain industrial uses of waterD．to demonstrate various measures to solve the pollution problem正确答案：A解析：第一段第一句是本文的主题句，指出污染问题的严重性，接着作者阐明了主题句所点出的主旨。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEETl.Text 1It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When shefinally reached the office marked "Smith Enter- prises" , she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, ina matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that helived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.46. Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because _ .[A] it was her first day in a new job[B] she was a little bit late for work[C] she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place[D] there was no answer from inside the office47. Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as .[A] she had been there only once[B] Mr. Smith was not in the office[C] nobody was doing any work[D] the office had a new appearance48. The people in the office suddenly started working because .[A] they saw a stranger in the office[B] their morning break was ended[C] no one wanted to talk to Marie[D] the boss was about to arrive49. We can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise . .[A] would start their work by listening to a joke. [B] were cold to newcomers[C] were always punctual for work[D] lacked devotion to the company50. The best title for this text would be. .[A] Punctual Like a Clock[B] A Cold Welcome[C] An Unpunctual Manager[D] Better Late Than NeverText 2For most of us, dieting is a frustrating fact of life. With so much conflicting nutritional information about, it can be difficult to tell which weight-loss strategies really work. Let' s start by discounting these confusing myths.1. All calories are created equalWhat you eat, not how much, is the main factor behind weight gain, according to research.Calories from fat pack on the pounds. The reason: during digestion, the body burns many more caloriesmetabolizing protein and carbohydrates than it does metabolizing fat.2. Desserts are tabooCakes, pies and ice cream can sensibly be worked into a diet, the expert says. Moderation is the key. CVt down on other meals if you'll be eating out at a restaurant known for its rich sweets.Or indulge, but take only a few bites.3. Fast foods are forbiddenA plain hamburger on a bun is still a healthful choice. So is grilled chicken or a green salad with low-cal dressing. But watch out for French fries, milkshakes and batter-dipped chicken or fish.4. Fasting is the fastest dietSome studies suggest that drastically reducing calorie intake switches the body into a "starvationmode", which conserves calories and decreases your metabolic rate. The more frequently youdeprive yourself of food, the better your body may get at storing calories. So, in the long run, repeated fasting may actually undermine yourweight-loss efforts.5. To keep weight off, simply watch what you eat .According to experts, exercise combined with dieting ensures weight Joss better than dieting alone does. Experts also agree that sticking with regular, moderate exercise is more important that occasional vigorous workouts are. Obesity-researcher Kelly Brownell encourages patients to make a series of small physical efforts: taking the stairs instead of the elevator and parking the car far from where you are going and walking.Most important, before getting caught up in dietary myths, let good sense shape your eating habits. Your body will thank you for it.51. It cannot be inferred from the first paragraph that _ .[A] the information about dieting is always- contradictory[B] there are too many weight-loss strategies to choose from[C] dieting is always troublesome to most people[D] people should not believe the ideas of dieting52. One of the elements to gain weight is _ .[A] the amount of the food you eat[B] over sleeping[C] laziness[D] the kind of food you eat53. Which of the following saying is true about dieting?[A] You can't eat sweets.[B] Fast foods are not good.[C] You should not neglect any meals.[D] Fasting is always helpful54. The phrase "starvation mode" means .[A] being very hungry[B] eating what you like when you are hungry[C] weight-loss efforts[D] being ready to eat55. The word "shape" in the last sentence means .[A] break [B] form[C] get rid of [D] changeText 3Labor force is defined as being the total number of people who are available to work and earn income. This definition includes everyone who is employed or seeking paid employment,so it includes employees and the self-employed. Labor is one ofthe country's resources which can be combined with other resources to produce the goods and services required by the community. .Though the size of the workforce relies greatly on the size of the total population,there are several other aspects which also affect it. The age distribution of the total population has a very marked effect on the available workforce. If the population has a high proportion of very young people or of those too old to work,then the available workforce would be lower than if there were an evenly spread age distribution.If the population grows rapidly from natural increase,i. e. the number of births greatly exceeds the number of deaths,then as a total population increases, the proportion in the workforce declines.Sometimes a population is described asaging,which means that the birth rate is either falling or growing very slowly,and as people retire from the workforce, there are inadequate numbers of young people entering it to take place of those whoare leaving it. The population is top-heavy with older people. So the percentage of the populationin the workforce declines when there is either a rapid increase in births or a falling birth rate. ' The age distribution of the population has several important influences on the economy. If the population is aging and there is an increase in the number of people retiring without a corresponding increase in the number entering the workforce,this raises the problem of the ability of the economy to provide a reasonable level of social services to the retired group. If the aged are to be cared for in special homes or hotels,finance must beavailable for that purpose. If the size of the workforce is small relative to the total population,then the government tax receipts are relatively low and either the govemment has less money available to it or the workforce members have to be taxed more heavily.56. Labor force is composed of .[A] people who are available to work and earn income[B] self-employed people only[C] only those who are looking for an employment[D] only the employees57. The factor which does NOT influence the size of the worldorce is _ .[A] the size of population[B] age distribution of the population[C] national economy[D] natural increase58. The conclusion which can be drawn safely from the second paragraph is that _[A] a population growth from natural increase leads to a greater proportion of the work-force[B] a large population does not necessarily mean a higher proportion of workforce[C] the larger the number of the aged in a population,the higher the proportion of the workforce[D] if the population has an evenly spreaded age distribution,the workforce will be lower59. When a population is said to be aging,_ .[A] more people are retiring than people entering the workforce[B] the birth rate is growing '[C] there is an oversupply of workforce[D] young people outnumber old people60. The population which is top-heavy with older people poses a problem to _ .[A] the government [B] the economy[C] the workforce [D] all of the abovePart BDirections :Read the following discussion. among five people about workplace dress, for questions 61 t0 65,match the name of each person. (61 t0 65) to one of the statements (A to G ) given below. Mark you answers on. you.r ANSWER SHEETl.Marian :I have a friend who is a team leader of about25 employees who are primarily women. She' s founda trick that works for her most of the time, but -not always. Those staff who appear in much less than professional dressing are asked if their mother and father would think appropriate a picture of them dressed in what they believe is "OK" for work. If they say "yes", she then takes a picture and asks them to send it home. Having a camera helps. Having a visual proof drives her message home.Catherine :I think it really boils down to a moral question. Is it morally "right" to use our body to move ahead in business? Or should we instead emphasize intelligence, capabilities, creative and independent thought, professionalism, and other such qualities which many, many women possess, but whom are routinely neglected for promotions and are never glorified or emphasized in our culture. It' s okay to be a tough, competent lawyer like Ally Mcbeal, but you won't get noticed unless you look good in really short skirts. Having a nice body is a plus, but I think that there are tons and tons of styles of dress which can show off a nice body in a professional way.Roget:A lot of employees have finally gotten the message about inappropriate (不合适的) dress-down items such as jeans, shorts, revealing tops, etc. They are starting to wear the proper dress-down clothes. However, wearing the appropriate dress-down clothes doesn' t mean you're excused fromironing and it's certainly no license to wear dirty clothes. Wash and iron people! And guys, tuck your shirts in and put on a pair of socks!Briggs:I work in a large company that has adopted the business code. They have an outline of what is acceptable and what is not. On it you find the typical, no blue jeans, no mini-skirts, no barefeet or legs and that type of thing. I guess I agree with Jessica. Anyone with common sense knows how to dress appropriately for whatever environment he or she works in. I am a casual person by nature but I tend to wear the business dress in my office.I do see some people in my building wearing casually and they look strange there.BiH:You're forgetting the most important point-it's "their" business. They are the ones who have put financial resources on the line: who have a whole bunch to lose if the business goes bad: who areproviding employment for others. Therefore, they get to make the rules. If that includes a dress code, then that's their right.
