全国英语等级考试pets三级真题及答案SECTION III Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Dilrections:Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on eachtext by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Sometime in the middle of the 15th century, a well-to-do merchant from London buried more than 6,700 gold and silver coins on a sloping, hillside in Surrey. He was fleeing the War of the Ro-ses and planned to return during better times. But he never did. The coins lay undisturbed until one September evening in 1990, when local resident Roger Mintey chanced upon them with a metal de-tector, a device used to determine the presence of metals. Mintey's find much of.which now sitsin the British Museum-earned him roughly $350,000, enough to quit hisjob with a small manu- facturer and spend more time pursuing lost treasure.But digging up the past is controversial in Britain. In many European countries, metal detecto- fists, or people using metal detectors, face tough regulations. In the U. K., however, officials in- troduced a scheme in 1997 encouraging hobbyists to report their discoveries (except for those fall- ing under the definition of treasure, like Mintey's find, which they are required to report)--but al- lowing them to keep what they find, or receive a reward. Last year, a hidden store was uncoveredin a field outside Birmingham. It consists of more than 1,500 gold and silver objects from the sev- enth century and was valued at more than $4.5 million. While local museums hurry to raise enough money to keep the find off the open market, it sits in limbo, owned by the Crown but fa- cing claims by the landowner and the metal detectorist who found it.The find marks the latest battleground in the increasinglyheated conflict between the country's 10,000-20,000 metal detectoristsand the museum workers determined to protect its precious old objects. Supporters say the scheme stems the loss of valuable information about precious old ob-jects, while opponents argue that metal detectorists don't report everything.The debate centers on the larger question of who owns the past. "There's been a slow move over the centuries that precious old things belong to us all," says Professor Christopher Chippindale of Cambridge University. But in Britain at least, the temptation of buried treasure could change all that.46. According to the first paragraph, the coins in Surrey wereA. worth roughly $350,000B. possessed by a local residentC. unearthed about 500 years agoD. left by a merchant during a war47. What do we know about Roger Mintey?A. He produces metal detectors.B. He owns a manufacturing firm.C. He works for the British Museum.D. He seeks buried treasure as a hobby.48. In the U. K., metal detectoristsA. are rewarded for whatever they findB. are forced to obey tough regulationsC. may keep what they have discoveredD. should report whatever they discover49. As for the find outside Birmingham, it is still unclearA. how much it is worthB. how it was discoveredC. who is entitled to itD. what it is made up of50. According to Professor Christopher Chippindale, buried treasureA. is owned by the publicB. is debated in a heated wayC. remains a big temptationD. turns precious over time参考答案Part AText 1在15世纪中期，一位来自伦敦的富有商人将6700多枚金币和银币埋藏在萨里的一座倾斜的山坡里。

全国英语等级考试三级（pets3级）历年真题试卷（一）材料题（江南博哥）根据下面资料，回答26・30题。

The political career of Cicero, a great Roman statesman and the most well-known speech-mak-er of his time, was a remarkable one. At the time, high political offices in Rome, though techni-cally achieved by winning elections, were almost exclusively controlled by a group of wealthy no-ble families that had held them for many generations. Cicero' s family, though noble, was not one of them, nor did it have great wealth. But Cicero had a great deal of political ambition; at a very young age he chose as his basic belief the same one Achilles was said to have had: to always be the best and overtop the rest. Lacking the advantages of a proper family origin, there were essentially only two career options open to him. One was a military career, since military success was thought to result from exceptional personal qualities and could lead to popularity and therefore political op-portunity as was the case much later for American presidents Ulysses S. Grant and Dwight D. Eisen-hower. Cicero, however, was no soldier. He hated war, and served in the military only very brief-ly as a young man. Instead, Cicero chose a career in the law. To prepare for this career, he studied law, rhetoric,and philosophy. When he felt he was ready, he began taking part in legal cases. A career in the law could lead to political success for several reasons, all of which are still relevant today. First, a lawyer would gain a great deal of experience in making speeches.Second, he could also gain ex-posure and popularity from cases. Finally, a successful lawyer would build up a network of politi-cal connections, which is important now but was even more important in.Cicero's time, when po-litical competition was not conducted along party lines or on the basis of doctrine, but instead was based on loose, shifting networks of personal friendships and commitments. Cicero proved to be an excellent speech-maker and lawyer, and an outstanding politician. He was elected to each of the principal Roman offices on his first try and at the earliest age at which he was legally allowed to run for them.26［单选题］To win an important office in Cicero' s time , a candidate should.A.be born of a wealthy familypossess political experienceunch a national campa ign □.convince the general publicBCDEFG正确答案：E参考解析：参考译文约翰：男性和女性身体主要的不同之一是男性身体弯曲的能力没有女性好。

In this way, they can relieve their families, financial burden to some extent. Besides, they can achieve more independence through their work. Others are confronted by countless exams and they often attend guidance lectures in the hope of improving their performance in these tests. They believe that a record of good exam results will be useful when they look for jobs in the future.As far as I am concerned, I will live my college life in a different way.On the one hand, as a student, I will give priority to the development of my knowledge and skills, so I am determined to spend most of my spare time studying hard.

A few years 39 , a gradual shift in mood became 40 in one of the　most popular songs which suggested calmer questions and possible answers even as some pop stars protested loudly 41 the draft. Finally, music as a 42 of the political and social process in America was highlighted at Woodstock, New York, where half a million young people came 43 in 1969 to spend three days listening to songs that spanned the decade.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. Text 1 I'd been living with my wife for eight years and one night “morn” says,“I guess you guys are never gonna get married. I mean, you've been through jail together, you' e living together, but.., oh, forget it.” “Oh, well,” I said, “put it like that and I'll marry your daughter tomorrow.” Actually, I don't know what we were waiting for, except that for a guy it's never the right time to get married. I' m also suspicious of any two people who don' t struggle with that decision. Part of my problem was that I was still lusting in my heart after other ladies. But somehow I knew that I wasn't going to find another woman remotely as great as my soon-to-be wife. It's a good thing my mother-in-law finally spoke up. I finally gathered my courage one day when we were having a picnic, and popped the question. I also gave my wife a big tourist pamphlet about Switzerland. I wasn't taking any chances. She said no. It killed me. I felt sick to my stomach. I lost my appetite. Our dog just stared at me, thinking, “If you're not going to eat your lunch, I will.” Finally, I said, “But the Switzerland trip is yours if you say yes.” “Switzerland,” she said, “is filled with precise, humorless people.” “Maybe I should have suggested Paris?” For a minute it seemed as if my change in travel plans would rate a solid “maybe”. But she said no again.When we woke up the next morning, she told me that she'd slept on my proposal. “I guess I was a little rude to you last night,” she explained. Meanwhile, I' m figuring I' m off the hook for this marriage thing for at least another eight years. I could afford to be generous. “I asked, you said no. It's okay,” I said. I might have looked a little too relieved because later that day she gave me a little box. Inside was a gold watch. On the back was inscribed. “Yes. I've reconsidered.” I liked the watch, so I did the right thing. 46. The reason why the man had waited so long was that he_________. [ A ] didn' t think eight years was long enough [ B ] suspected that husband and wife would often quarrel [ C ] didn' t think he was ready to propose to her [ D ] was waiting for his mother-in-law' s approval 47. The man proposed to the woman because _________. [ A] he realized he could find no other woman better [ B ] he was afraid that the woman might leave him [ C ] he was eager to visit Switzerland with the woman [ D ] he could finally overcome his fear for marriage 48. By saying “I could afford to be generous.” (third paragraph from the bottom) the man implied that he__________. [ A ] wouldn' t care too much if he stayed single [ B ] could take her to a better place than Paris [ C ] was rich enough to support his wife [ D ] didn't care what she thought about his proposal 49. The last sentence “I did the right thing” implied he_________. [ A ] traveled with his wife [ B ] had a successful marriage [ C ] liked the watch very much [ D ] waited for another eight years 50. The best title for this text would be___________. [ A ] How My Mother-In-Law Helped Me [ B ] How I Received a Gold Watch I Liked [ C ] How I Made My Wife Travel With Me [ D ] How I Came to Marry-My Wife Text 2 “Hi there. How's it going?” “Oh, fine. Fine. How about this weather, huh ?” “Well, I guess we can always use the rain.” What's that? This story ? Oh, just a little look at small talk. You know, those seemingly meaningless conversations you have dozens of times a day, Maybe you' re waiting for the elevator. Or in a line at the bank. It all seems pretty trivial. Idle chatter about traffic doesn' t do much more than fill the air with empty words that are quickly forgotten. But you should know that small talk actually has a big place in our lives. Pat Oliver, assistant professor on arts, says that, “Left unchecked, small talk can be an invasion. It's so powerful. It does something to you.” “Everymorning after spending an hour and a half on the freeway I start the day with small talk with my secretary,” Oliver says, “If I don't make small connection with another person, I can' t work.” What causes it? As a rule, you' re either trying to force something into your life, or you' re using conversation as an invisible force field to keep them out. You can be wanting to connect with another person, and small talk is your introduction to more meaningful conversation. The way people use small talk is usually determined by where they happen to be at the time. Take the elevator, for instance. Now there's prime territory. Nobody knows anyone and there's no reason to start a conversation, but invariably, someone does. Making conversation in such peaceful social settings, according to Oliver, “can confirm your territory. It's a way of feeling liked and accepted.” The topics of small talk don't matter. In fact, you don't want anything more taxing than the weather or the traffic. It's non-threatening talk in a threatening situation. However, the rules change quickly when you're with lots of people doing lots of talking. Let's say you're at a party. Now it' s time to use small talk as a way of making others feel more comfortable around you, so you don' t look silly standing by the food table alone all night. 51. “Small talk”, as interpreted by the author,________. [ A ] has no real function in communication at all [ B ] is usually meaningless and therefore useless [ C ] is not as idle as it may seem to be [ D ] is restricted to certain topics only 52. According to the author, small talk is often used ____________. [ A ] to invade other' s private affairs [ B ] to share a secret between intimate friends [ C ] to open and maintain channels of communication [ D ] to protect one' s own privacy 53. According to the author, topics of small talk may include comments on________. [ A ] some political issues [ B ] one' s physical condition [ C ] other' s ways of dress [ D ] the traffic jam 54. Why is small talk described as “non-threatening talk in a threatening situation”? [ A] It is used by people to encourage those who are confronted with danger. [ B ] It is used to show that one is enthusiastic and hospitable. [ C ] It is used to create a more friendly atmosphere and to avoid embarrassment. [ D ] It is used by people to protect others in the threatening situation. 55. According to the author, at a big party, small talk is used with the purpose of_______. [ A ] making both others and yourself feel at ease [ B ] excluding those you don't like from joining you [ C ] keeping your voice low so only your friends can hear you [ D ] comforting those who feel lonelyText 3 Dollars and cents are the basic units of American money. The back of all dollar bills are green (hence “greenbacks”). The commonly used coins are: one cent (penny ), five cents (nickel), 10 cents(dime), and 25 cents (quarter).50 pieces (half dollar) and silver dollars (not really silver anymore) are gaining in usage, while there has been talk of phasing out the penny that's inflation for you. “Always carry plenty of quarters when travelling. Very useful for phones, soda machines, laundry machines, etc.” There is generally no problem in using US dollars in Canada, but this is never possible in reverse. It's useful always to carry small change for things like exact fare buses, but do not carry large sums of cash. Instead keep the bulk of your money in travellers' cheques which can be purchased both in the US and abroad and should be in dollar denominations. The best known cheques are those of American Express, so you will have the least difficulty cashing these, even in out of the way places. Thomas Cook travellers' cheques are also acceptable,especially as lost ones can be reclaimed at some car rental companies. Dollar denomination cheques can be used like regular money. There's no need to cash them at a bank: use them instead to pay for meals, supermarket purchases or whatever. Ten or twenty dollar cheques are accepted like this almost always and you' 11 be given change just as though you'd presented the cashier with dollar bills. Be prepared to show I.D. when you cash your cheques. Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers' cheques, as they are often used to guarantee room reservations over the phone and are accepted in lieu of deposit when renting a car--indeed without a credit card you may be considered so untrustworthy that not only a deposit but your passport will be held as security too. The major credit cards are VISA, Master Charge and Access, Diners Club and American Express. If you hold a bank card, it could well be worthwhile to increase your credit limit for travel purposes--you should ask your bank manager. 56. Why is it useful to carry enough 25-cent coins with you? [ A ] They can act as small change for the-exact bus fares. [ B ] There is- generally no problem in using them in Canada. [ C ] As a basic unit of money, they are gradually gaining in usage. [ D ] They may come in handy for pay phones or laundry machines. 57. It is not necessary to carry cash instead of dollar travellers' cheques because the latter can be ________. [ A ] used for phones, bus fares and hotel reservations [ B ] used to pay in restaurants and big stores [ C ] used like credit cards, even in remote areas [ D ] exchanged easily, even at car rental companies 58. The phrase ‘in lieu of’ (line 2, paragraph 4) most probably means________. [ A ] on behalf of [ B ] in line with [ C ] with regard to [ D ] instead of 59. Which of the following statements is TRUE? [ A ] Credit cards have more advantages than travellers' cheques. [ B ] Dollar bills are as convenient as credit cards. [ C ] One-cent coins have been withdrawn from circulation. [ D ] You can increase your credit limit as you like. 60. This passage is most probably taken from [ A ] a tourist guide [ B ] a bank brochure [ C ] a booklet about car rental [ D ] a handbook on U.S. currency Part B Directions: Read the texts from a cyber saloon in which five people talked about Tofu (also known as bean curd), a traditional Chinese and Japanese food. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G) that he or she is most likely to say. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Jenise: I love peas and beans more than most people, so tofu is a natural choice for me. My Chinese friend Annabelle loves them too, and tells me that soy beans contain an ingredient not present in any other food source, or at least in that concentration, that helps prevent breast cancer. When we share a big bowl of these, we eat with abandon “for medicinal purposes”! I like it plain although there may be many different ways to prepare it and it may cure other diseases. Lee: In fact, I was probably preprogrammed to like it: as a kid one of my favorite books was Toru and the Tofu (hope I' m remembering the title right), a story about a young Tokyo boy, named Toru, who was given the assignment, his first, of going to the neighborhood tofu maker' s by himself and bringing back some fleshly made cubes for dinner. I can still recall Toru' s unique way of getting it home intact ( with a jar filled with water). It all seemed very strange to the five-year old me in semi-rural Southern California. Hoke: It's great in spicy Sichuan style soups, especially with fish, but I like it fried quickly to give a crisp exterior whilst retaining a moist, soft interior. Steaming is another option, with a pork and prawn mince ( with spring onion) on top of each cube. The thing that I love most is ,the texture--really good tofu is just amazing in the mouth, poised as it is between solidity and fluidity. I' m definitely a fan. Nyby: It's sort of weird to me. You go in to one of those “Mock Vegetarian”restaurants only to find everything on the menu “mock”--mock chicken, mock beef, mock pork, etc. Now whatever you order, it' s tofu molded into something that looks like that particular meat. I don't know about you, but if I' m eating a vegetarian I don' t need to go through a fantasy of pretending I' m eating a veal cutlet or a pork chop or a chicken breast. Is this to delude someone, or distract them from thinking they are eating vegetarian food? Robin: Precisely because it is so “tasteless”, I eat. it like a madman: I like the way it picks up the flavors of the dishes it' s served with. I can enjoy it in lots of different cuisine, in moderate quantities in relation to other ingredients in each dish. If you try them and tell me that you don't think they have much flavor, I' 11 have to disagree because that's not true of tofu. The flavor's mild and you can combine that with the hottest spices in the world, which for me illustrates its most endearing attribute. It does a reasonably good job of absorbing a great many flavors. Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Jenise [ A ] Real or unreal, who knows? 62. Lee [ B ] Don' t deceive yourself and others: tofu is no meat. 63. Hoke [ C ] Amazing texture, I enjoy tofu inside out. 64. Nyby [ D ] I am constantly at war with tofu. 65. Robin [ E ] Tofu hasn' t got a unique taste of its own, but it goes well with any food. [ F ] Eating tofu is a strong childhood memory. [ G ] Tofu is the best medicine.SECTION IV Writing(40 minutes) Directions: You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2. Part A 66.

THIS IS THE END OF THE TEST.第一部分听力 1～25略 第二部分英语知识运用 参考译文 音乐是人们表达内心感受和情感的重要方法.例如：许多人回忆起1960年到1969年的十年，都会觉得那是美国历史上的一个政治动荡及社会不安的时期.那段时期，很多人对美国青少年所喜欢的音乐感到失望.然而我们现在得承认他们所喜欢的音乐只是那个时代的一个标志，反映了那时的紧张局势也反映了对美国社会产生影响的一些变革.在60年代初期，一首叫做《随风飘逝》的歌引发了对社会公正和公平的争论.这首歌与民权运动的主题曲《我们会胜利》相呼应.有关美国军队陷入越南战争的冲突，在1965年的两首歌曲里有所体现，一首叫做《毁灭前夕》，另一首叫做《绿色军帽之歌》，这两首歌表露了令人失望的情绪.几年之后，公共情绪的转变从一首流行歌里清楚流露出来，这首歌是当时其中最为流行的歌曲之一.甚至是在一些明星大声反对草案的时候，这首歌提出了更为冷静的问题和可能的答案.最终，音乐作为美国政治与社会进程的反映在纽约的伍德斯托克得以突出.1969年50万年轻人在那里集会，参加为期三天的摇滚音乐节，在音乐节期间所演唱的歌曲都是十年里的经典歌曲.这个事件是在动荡的时代渴求团结的一种标志.在躁动的年代里，伍德斯托克事件表达了希望. 26．C【精析】本题考查文意.后面的“from 1960 to 1969”是此处的同位语，由此可知，这里的时间是“十年”.故选C. 27．B【精析】本题考查文意.record记录；remember记忆；regret悔恨；recommend推荐.因为这里说的是已经过去的历史，故用remember.故选B. 28．C【精析】本题考查介词.这里说的还是1960年到1969年之间，表示一段较长的时间前用介词during在…期间.故选C. 29．C【精析】本题考查固定搭配.with有“关于，对于”的意思，despair with sth．“对…感到失望”，为固定搭配.故选C. 30．B【精析】本题考查连词.moreover而且，此外；however然而；therefore因此，所以；thus这样，因此.从上下文来看，空格前后两个句子之间为转折关系.故选B. 31．A【精析】本题考查文意.这里是讲“他们所喜欢的音乐只是那个时代的一个标志”，only仅仅，不过，符合句意.故选A. 32．A【精析】本题考查文意.reflection反映；reaction反应；recreation 娱乐；relaxation松弛.这里是指音乐是当时社会的一种反映，故选A. 33．B【精析】本题考查近义词辨析.effect n．影响；affect v．影响；defect n．过失，缺点；perfect v．修改，使完美.这里是讲正在影响美国的变化.故选B. 34．D 【精析】本题考查近义词辨析.dispute表示比较激烈的争论，而argument的意思没有这么强烈，debate表示“辩论”.这里指的是美国60年代的民权运动，所以应该用一个语气比较激烈的词，故选D. 35．C【精析】本题考查文意.raise有“提出”的意思；dismiss解散；remove移动；promote促进，提升.这句话的主语是dispute，与之搭配的只能是raise，表示“提出争议”.故选C. 36．B 【精析】本题考查动词词义.echo在这里意为“与…相呼应”. 37．A【精析】本题考查语境.involvement包含，卷入；assignment 任务，作业；replacement代替，替换；settlement定居.这里是指“美国军队卷入越南战争”.故选A. 38．A【精析】本题考查语境的把握.从文章我们可以看出，这首歌表达的是对美国军队卷入越南战争的不满，而B、C两项均表示积极的意义，D项“令人泄气的”与文意不符.故选A. 39．A【精析】本题考查固定用法.表示“几年之后，几天之后，几小时之后”用“a few years later，a few days later，a few hours later”. 故选A. 40．A【精析】本题考查文意.evident明显的；positive积极的；realistic 现实的；instructive有益的，教育性的.这句话表达的意思是“公共情绪的转变明显的体现出来”.故选A. 41．B【精析】本题考查固定搭配.protest against反对，为固定搭配. 42．C【精析】本题考查语境.这里表达的意思是“歌曲是美国政治与社会进程的一种反映”，mirror除了表示“镜子”之外，还可以表示“反映真实情况的东西”.故选C. 43．B【精析】本题考查动词短语.come along发生，陪伴；come up 走进，上来，提出；come together集合；come out出来，出现.从上下文我们可知，这里指的是年轻人聚在一起.故选C. 44．A【精析】本题考查文意.结合上下文可知，这里要表达的意思是“对团结的渴求”，unity的意思是“团结，统一”.故选A. 45.

Text 2 参考译文 “你好.最近怎样?” “哦，很好，很好.今天天气怎么样，哈?” “我想我们这儿会一直下雨.” 上面讲的是什么?一则故事?噢，这只是关于琐谈的一瞥.你知道，每天你碰到几十次这种看上去没什么意义的琐谈，或在等电梯的时候．或是在银行排队的时候.这种谈话都显得很琐碎.打发时间的谈谈交通和不说话没什么两样，转眼就被遗忘了.但是你要知道这样的琐谈在我们的生活中具有重要的地位. 帕特．奥利弗是艺术学的教授助理，他说“虽然没被证实，但是琐谈可以是一种进攻，它的力量很强大，会对你造成影响.”“每天早上在高速公路上花一个半小时到达办公室之后，我跟我的秘书进行一些琐谈来开始一天的工作，”奥利弗说，“如果不跟别人进行一些简单的交流的话我就没办法工作.” 这种情况是怎么造成的呢?按规律来说，你不是想要利用谈话强行将一些东西带进自己的生活，就是把谈话当作一种无形的力量将某些事物排除在你的生活之外.你也许是正想与某人交流，琐谈可将你们引入更有意义的谈话. 人们进行琐谈的方式通常是由当时所处的环境所决定的.以搭电梯的时候为例，现在这是一片原始的领域，谁也不认识谁并且也没有理由开始一次交谈，但总是会有人第一个说话.根据奥利弗的说法在这样一个平和的社会环境下交谈“可以巩固自己的领域.你可以通过它感受自己是否被别人喜爱和接受”. 琐谈的主题并不重要.实际上，你不会想要任何比天气或者是交通更沉重的话题.这是在具有威胁性的情形下进行的没有威胁的谈话.然而.当你同时跟很多人在一起进行大量交谈的时候，规则是在飞快的变化的. 让我们假设你参加一次聚会.现在是时候利用琐谈来使你周围的人感到自在和放松了，这样你也不会傻傻地独自在餐桌边站一个晚上了. 51．C【精析】主旨题.从整篇文章来看，作者的意思是说琐谈看上去没什么意义，但是却能起到很重要的作用，例如将交谈双方引入一些更重要的谈话或者是打破冷场的局面.这与C项表述一致.A、B两项曲解了文意.D项“琐谈的话题有严格的限制”，与文章倒数第二段第一句“The topics of small talk don’t matter．”相悖.故选C. 52．C【精析】推理题.由文章倒数第四段第二句话“You Call be waning to connect with another person，and small talks is your introduction to more meaningful conversation．”可知，当我们想与他人进行交流时，琐谈可把我们引入更为严肃、正式的话题，由此可判断琐谈可起到建立和维持沟通渠道的作用，这与C项表述一致.故选C. 53．D【精析】推理题.文中说琐谈一般都是关于天气和交通的无实质内容的、轻松的话题，故选D. 54．C【精析】推理题.从文章最后一段可以看出，琐谈的一个重要作用就是在一些场合使得自己和周围的人感到放松.且从谈话的内容来看，说话的人只是想营造一种气氛.故选C. 55．A【精析】推理题.最后一段意思是“利用琐谈来使你周围的人感到舒服，这样你也不会独自在餐桌旁站一个晚上了，看上去傻乎乎的”.A项“使自己和别人都感到放松”与此相符.故选A.Text 3 参考译文 美元和美分是美国货币的基本单位.所有美元的背面都是绿色的(因此叫做“绿背”).最常使用的硬币有：一美分(一便士)，五美分(五分镍币)，十美分(一角硬币)，二十五美分(四分之一美元).在人们争论要不要停止使用一美分硬币的时候，五角的硬币和银制美元硬币(其实不再真的是银质的)也开始使用了——对你来说那是通货膨胀.“在旅行的时候要带足25美分的硬币.打电话、在售货机上买苏打水还有用干洗机的时候这些硬币很有用.” 一般来说在加拿大使用美元没有问题，但是如果反过来的话就不一样了. 随身带些零钱有时候很有用，比如说乘坐单一票制公交车时，但是不要带太多现金在身上.将巨额现金存在旅行支票里来代替携带现金，这种美元面额的旅行支票要既可以用于国内购物也可以用于国外购物. 最为大家所熟知的旅行支票是美国快递，所以用这种旅行支票最容易兑换现金，即使是在偏僻的地方.托马斯—库克旅行支票也被广泛接受，尤其是丢失后还可以到某些汽车租赁公司认领.美元面额的支票可以当作现金用.根本不需要去银行兑现：在餐馆、超市或者任何时候都可以用这样的支票付款.面值为十美元或者二十美元的支票一直都被人们接受，而且对方还会为你找零钱就像使用关钞一样.在用支票兑现的时候要出示你的身份证. 信用卡比旅行支票更有价值，通过电话预订房间的时候通常会用到信用卡做担保，而且在租汽车的时候信用卡还能用作订金一没有信用卡的话别人会觉得你不值得信任，这样出租公司不光是要收取你的订金还会留下你的护照以确保安全.主要的几种信用卡是VISA，Master Charge，Access，Diners Club和American Express.如果你持有银行卡的话．为了出去旅行方便而增加你的信用度也是很值得的——关于这一点你可以咨询你的银行经理人. 56．D【精析】细节题.这道题考查的是文中关于25美分硬币用途的说法，在文中第一段最后明确提出了25美分硬币有各种用途，包含在内的是D项.故选D. 57．B【精析】释义题.文章第三段倒数第三句说“…use them instead to pay for meals．supermarket purchases or whatever．”，其中them 指代checks.可知支票可以用于支付旅馆和商店的费用. 故选B. 58．D【精析】推理题.破折号后面的文章说如果没有信用卡出租公司会收取订金还会扣留护照，说明如果有信用卡的话公司就不会另收订金，所以信用卡的作用是代替订金，故选D. 59．A【精析】判断题.A由文章最后一段第一句话“Credit cards can be even more valuable than travellers’ cheques…”，可知信用卡比旅行支票更具价值，这与A项表述一致. 60．B【精析】推理题.从整体来看，文章介绍了货币、支票和信用卡的用途，所以A、c只是断章取义的说法不合题意.而D强调的是货币，比较片面.只有B符合文意. Part B 参考译文 在中国和日本，豆腐都是传统菜，下面这篇文章是5个人对于吃豆腐的不同看法.(注意每个人所说话的主题) 杰尼斯：我比大部分人都更喜欢豌豆和大豆，所以我自然会选择豆腐.我的中国朋友阿娜贝丽也很喜欢豌豆和大豆.她告诉我大豆含有一种其他任何食物原料所没有的成分，或者至少其中该成分的含量高于其他任何食物原料，这种成分有助于预防乳癌.在我们吃一大碗豆腐的时候，我们是为了医疗目的而尽情地吃.虽然豆腐的做法有很多种，我还是喜欢它简简单单的吃法，而且它还能治疗其他疾病. 李：实际上，我喜欢豆腐可能是冥冥之中注定的：小时候，我最喜欢的书就是《Tur0与豆腐》(希望我没记错书名).故事讲的是一个叫做Turo的东京小男孩要第一次独自去隔壁一位做豆腐的邻居家里，并且要带回一些鲜豆腐块回来做晚饭.我还记得Turo把豆腐完整无缺的带回家所用的独特的方法(他把豆腐放在一个装了水的坛子里).对于生活在不太发达的加利福尼亚南部且当时只有5岁的我来说，这一切看上去是那么新奇. 胡克：在四川风味的辣汤里放上豆腐味道真是好极了，尤其是在做鱼的时候.但是我最喜欢稍微用油煎一下的豆腐，表面硬脆而里面松软.蒸豆腐也很好吃，做的时候要在豆腐表面铺一层猪肉末或者虾酱(加上大葱).我最爱盼就是豆腐的口感——真正好的豆腐入口的感觉是很美妙的，那种口感介于固体和液体之间.我是个真正的豆腐迷. 丽比：对我来说这有点古怪，当你走进那些“模拟素食”的餐厅，却发现菜单上的每一样东西都是模拟的——模拟鸡肉、模拟牛肉、模拟猪肉，等等.你所点的菜都是用豆腐仿照各种肉的样子做出来的.我不知道你们怎么想，但是如果我吃素的话我不需要经历一种虚幻，假装自己是在吃小牛排、猪排或是鸡胸.这是在误导别人还是在分散他们的注意力以使他们不去想自己在吃素? 罗宾：确切地说，我之所以疯狂地喜欢吃豆腐，就是因为它的淡而无味.我喜欢豆腐可以吸收与它一道烹制的整道菜味道的方式.豆腐的各种吃法我都很喜欢.它的做法和用量与菜里的其他配料有关.如果你吃过之后告诉我豆腐没什么味道的话，我就不同意了，因为这种说法是不对的.豆腐的味道很淡，你可以把它跟最辣的调料一起吃，对我来说这是豆腐最招人喜欢的特质.豆腐能够充分吸收各种味道. 61．G【精析】主旨题.在几段短文中只有杰尼斯所说的话是与豆腐的医疗功能有关的，所以G项正确.。

公共英语三级测试题及答案SectionⅡ Reading Comprehension(40 minutes)Part ADirections:Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text IFifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there — moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a lifetime of security is I struck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave.I entered my boss’s office. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. “Matt, we have to have a talk,” I began awkwardly. “I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’m forty. There’s a lot I want to do in life. I’m resigning.”“To another paper?” he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly engaged in the change. “I’m glad for you,” he said, quite out of my expectation. “I just came from a board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we can deal with. But much of it we can’t, ” he went on. “I wish you all the luck in the world,” he concluded. “And if it doesn’t work out, remember, your star is always high here.”Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody — even though I’d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all the financial security I had carefully built up.Later, I had a final talk with Bill Taylor, chairman and publisher of the Boston Globe. He had turned the Globe into a billion-dollar property. “I’m resigning, Bill, ”I said. He listened while I gave him the story.He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, “Golly, I wish I were in your shoes.”46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous _______.[A] newspaper [B] magazine[C]temple [ D ] church47. If the writer stayed with the Globe _________.[ A] he would be able to realize his lifetime dreams.[ B] he would let his long-cherished dreams fade away.[ C ] he would never have to worry about his future life.[ D] he would never be allowed to develop his ambitions.48. The writer wanted to resign because _________.[A] he had serious trouble with his boss.[ B ] he got underpaid at his job for the Globe.[ C ] he wanted to be engaged in the new media industry.[ D ] he had found a better paid job in a publishing house.49. When the writer decided to resign the Globe was faced with _______.[ A ] a trouble with its staff members[ B ] a shortage of qualified reporters[ C ] an unfavorable business situation[ D ]an uncontrollable business situation50. By “:I wish I were in your shoes.” (in the last paragraph) Bill Taylor meant that _______.[ A ] the writer was to fail.[ B] the writer was stupid[ C ] he would do the same if possible[D] he would reject the writer’s requestText 2Do you find it very difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when your labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! You’ll be late for work again!”The possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit if better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.51. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ________.[A] he is a lazy person.[ B ] he refuses to follow his own energy cycle.[C] he is not sure when his energy is low.[D] he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening.52. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?[AJ Unawareness of energy cycles.[B] Familiar monologues.[C]A change in a family member’s energy cycle.[D] Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.53. If one wants to work efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should __________.[A]change his energy cycle[B] overcome his laziness[C]get up earlier than usual[D] go to bed earlier54. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will __________.[A] help to keep your energy for the day’s work.[B] help you to control your temper early in the day[C] enable you to concentrate on your routine work[D] keep your energy your energy cycle under control all day55. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.[B] Dr. Kletman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.[C] Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle.[D] Children have energy cycles, too.Text 3There was one thought that air pollution affected only the area immediately around large cities with factories and heavy automobile traffic. At present, we realize that although these are the areas with the worst air pollution, the problem is literally worldwide. On several occasions over the past decade, a heavy cloud of air pollution has covered the east of the United States and brought health warnings in rural areas away from any major concentration of manufacturing and automobile traffic. In fact, the very climate of the entire earth may be infected by air pollution. Some scientists consider that the increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the air resulting from the burning of fossil fuels (coal and oil) is creating a “greenhouse effect”— conserving heat reflected from the earth and raising the world's average temperature. If this view is correct and the world's temperature is raised only a few degrees, much of the polar ice cap will melt and cities such as New York, Boston, Miami, and New Orleans will be in water.Another view, less widely held, is that increasing particular matter in the atmosphere is blocking sunlight and lowering the earth's temperature — a result that would be equally disastrous. A drop of just a few degrees could create something close to a new ice age, and would mane agriculture difficult or impossible in many of our top farming areas. Today we do not know for sure that either of these conditions will happen (though one recent government report drafted by experts in the field concluded that the greenhouse effect is very possible) Perhaps, if we are lucky enough, the two tendencies will offset each other and the world's temperature will stay about the same as it is now. Driven by economic profits, people neglect the damage on our environment caused by the “advanced civilization”. Maybe the air pollution is the price the human beings have to pay for their development. But is it really worthwhile?56. As pointed out at the beginning of the passage, people used to think that air pollution _______.[ A ] cause widespread damage in the countryside[ B ] affected the entire eastern half of the United States[ C ] had damaged effect on health[ D ] existed merely in urban and industries areas57. As to the greenhouse effect, the author __________.[ A ] share the same view with the scientist.[ B ] is uncertain of its occurrence[ C ] rejects it as being ungrounded[ D ] thinks that it will destroy the world soon58. The word “offset” in the second paragraph could be replaced by _________.[ A] slip into [ B ] make up for[ C ] set up [ D ] catch up with59. It can be concluded that ____________.[ A ] raising the world's temperature only a few degrees would not do much harm to life on earth.[ B] lowering the world's temperature merely a few degrees would lead major farming areas to disaster.[C] almost no temperature variations have occurred over the past decade.[D] the world's temperature will remain constant in the years to come.60. This passage is primarily about __________.[A]the greenhouse effect……[ B ] the burning of fossil fuels……[C] the potential effect of air pollution.[ D] the likelihood of a new ice age.Part BDirections:Read the following article in which five people talk about their ideas of dieting. For questions 61 to 65 , -match name of each speaker to one of the statements (A to C ) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.AbbeyYou can always recognize dieters from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts, gazing at themselves in mirrors, and leaping on to weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. What a miserable lot dieters are!MarlinI began making some dietary and lifestyles changes during my second year of college and have been eating this way ever since. I like the way I feel when I don't eat animal foods so much more than the pleasure I used to get from eating them. I have much more energy; I need less sleep; I feel calmer; I can maintain an ideal body weight without worrying about how much I eat, and I can think more clearly.MaggieDuring my first year of college, I gained forty pounds when I began throwing the javelin. For the next twenty years, I carried all of this extra weight and kidded myself that I was in good shape since that's what I weighed in college. Now that I've lost all that extra weight, I feel great! People say all the time, "Well, how do you live without eating cheeseburgers or this or that?" and I say, "You just don't. It' s not even an option. It's not that hard once you get on it. "BelindaIf you are on a diet, you're always hungry. You can't be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions you eat instead of food leave you permanently dissatisfied. A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as juicy steak. So at least three times a day you will be exposed to temptation. How miserable to watch others tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice! And if hunger just proves too much for you, in the end you will lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. Then things will turn out to be even worse.WoodI went on diet when my doctor told me that my blood pressure tended to be high. Only at that time did I realize the danger of being overweight. Since I began making dietary changes in 1982, eating this way has become increasingly accepted. I don't feel I've lost something after dieting. Instead, I've got something valuable. That is good health.Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements61. Abbey [A] Being on a diet is a torture.62. Marlin [ B] I feel better with vegetarian food.63. Maggie [C] I lost weight after dieting.[ D] I began dieting for the sake of health.64. Belinda [E] Dieting enables people to enjoy life more.65. Wood [F] Dieting simply causes endless worries.[ G] Dieting does more harm than good to one' s health.Section IV Writing (40 minutes)You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66.

T-shirts are worn on the playground, on the beach or in town. They can also be worn for work. Because the T-shirts are relatively inexpensive,smart,comfortable and convenient to wear, they have become one of the newest ideas in fashion over the world. Although T-shirts are now available in a wide variety of bright materials and styles,the most popular kind is the traditional cotton T-shirts with a slogan or a picture printed on the front.AT-shirt may bear a single word,a popular phrase,pictures of sportsmen, or an advertisement.

2021年公共英语(pets3)三级习题及答案（卷三）Children growing up in the UK today face a plethora of societal pressures and challenges. Our young people are some of the most overweight in Europe, are recording increasing levels of mental health issues, and are more likely to live a shorter life than their parents. They're also less likely to lead a financially stable life.Last Wednesday the leaders of the Labour, Scottish National, Lib Dem and Green parties sent a letter to the prime minister, calling for "a comprehensive strategy to tackle childhood obesityn. It included 13 recommendations, but there were two glaring omissions from the list: the role of physical activity, and improving mental health and wellbeing ——a decision I find deeply disheartening(令人沮丧的)in a u compre-hensivestrategy.I recognise the positive impact that many of the recommendations could have, such as banning free offers for junk food and restrictions on advertising, and using tax incentives(税收激励政策)to make healthy food cheaper. But you cannot have a comprehensive strategy that looks only at diet, and ignores wider factors such as physical activity and mental health.This August will mark the two-year anniversary of the government's childhood obesity plan, which was an opportunity to put children's health at the heart of policymaking and practice. But by focusing oncalories in and calories out are we missing the bigger picture? Children are seldom the main decision-maker on the factors in their life that promote weight gain ; they rarely choose what they eat ( at home or at school) ; their activity levels are often subject to the depth of a parent's purse ; and they largely exist in educational settings that are forced to place more emphasis on standardised testing than on health and wellbeing.At ukactive, we champion the physical, mental and social benefits that come from an active, healthy life. I have seen first hand the vital role that the physical activity sector has in helping to tackle childhood obesity.But we also recognise that our sector cannot achieve its ambitions for a healthier Britain alone. We must seek consensus across all political parties that obesity is a complex disease for which no single cause or cure exists. It's never been clearer that we need to develop a cross-party strategy that drives an integrated approach to this fundamental issue. The diet and physical activity agendas are of equal importance, and both sectors have to work together. To shun a collaborative, holistic approach would be to jeopardise the future health and prosperity of the UK.1. The health problems of the young people in the UK will lead to .A) various psychiatric disordersB) weight loss and increased energyC) shorter life expectancyD) more expenditure2. According to the author, what did the comprehensivestrategy miss?A) Forbidding junk food.B) Promoting physical exercise and mental health.C) Controlling food advertising.D) Making the healthy food cheaper.3. Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A) Parents need to help the children calculate the specific calories needed for each day.B) Children should decide what and how much they eat by themselves.C) Most children focuses more on their academic achievementsD) The overweight children are less willing to do physical activities.4. By citing the example of ukactive, the author aims to .A) warn the public of the consequences of obesityB) remind the parents of the urgency of solving their children's health problemsC) appeal to the government to make effective laws and regulationsD) help people recognize the importance of physical activity5. According to Paragraph 6, which of the following does the authorsupport?A) It is impossible for Britain to learn from the practice of ukactive.B) Diet and physical activity should be combined to deal with obesity.C) There is no simple cure for obesity considering its complex causes and contributing factors.D) The government should shoulder more responsibility to solve the problem of obesity.参考答案：当今,在英国长大的孩子要面临很多的社会压力和挑战。
