The 28 student is considered to be 29 who is motivated to learn for the sake of 30, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 31 brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is 32 for learning the material assigned. When research is 33, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with 34 guidance. It is the 35 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 36 a university library works; they expect students, 37 graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference 38 in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but 39 that their students should not be 40 dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties 41 teaching, such as administrative or research work. 42, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is 43.

Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots”and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days”or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?［A］He was delighted to show them off.［B］He did his best but was not often successful.［C］He did them quickly to get them over.［D］He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .［A］he did not get enough sleep［B］there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train［D］the dog was confused about the time of the day49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］Williams had to go to work at night［B］the dog made too much noise in the house［C］Williams made them all get up early［D］the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］he was unconscious all that time［C］he thought the wallet was in the house［D］he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance”and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods”but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or nocones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］some may see everything in shades of green［B］few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green［D］very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］colours only［B］shapes and colours［C］shapes only［D］darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.［A］because they hunt at night［B］because they cannot see light［C］because they have no cones and rods［D］because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］as well as human beings can not see some colours［B］have fewer cones than human beings［C］have less rods than human beings［D］can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.［C］All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［A］cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it［B］will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］must be made easy so that children can read it on their own［D］is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that .［A］fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children［B］fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent［C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［D］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］told only once［B］repeated many times［C］told in a realistic setting［D］presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］have a very bad effect on children［B］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］help children to come to terms with fears［D］harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of beingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.［C］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease.Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案（1）相关内容:。

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 life- time of security if I stuck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s of- rice. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk." I be.- gan 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. " "T o 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. Iwanted to be directly en-gaged in the change. "I’ m glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came froma 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 con- cluded. "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 eith er. Aftera 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 ambitions48.

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.

The 28 student is considered to be 29 who is motivated to learn for the sake of 30, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 31 brief written comments but without a grade. Even if agrade is not given, the student is 32 for learning the material assigned. When research is 33, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with 34 guidance. It is the 35 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 36 a university library works; they expect students, 37 graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference 38 in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but 39 that their students should not be 40 dependent on them. In the United States, professors have many other duties 41 teaching, such as administrative or research work. 42, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is 43.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots”and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days”or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?［A］He was delighted to show them off.［B］He did his best but was not often successful.［C］He did them quickly to get them over.［D］He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .［A］he did not get enough sleep［B］there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train ［D］the dog was confused about the time of the day 49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］Williams had to go to work at night［B］the dog made too much noise in the house［C］Williams made them all get up early［D］the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］he was unconscious all that time［C］he thought the wallet was in the house［D］he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness.A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance”and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference betweencolours. There are also millions of “rods”but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］some may see everything in shades of green［B］few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green［D］very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］colours only［B］shapes and colours［C］shapes only［D］darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.［A］because they hunt at night［B］because they cannot see light［C］because they have no cones and rods［D］because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］as well as human beings can not see some colours［B］have fewer cones than human beings［C］have less rods than human beings［D］can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.［C］All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear facedand mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［A］cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it［B］will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］must be made easy so that children can read it on their own［D］is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openlyagainst fairy tales argue that .［A］fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children［B］fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent［C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［D］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］told only once［B］repeated many times［C］told in a realistic setting［D］presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］have a very bad effect on children［B］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］help children to come to terms with fears［D］harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead ofbeingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.［C］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even thesefew people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be muchbetter off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案（1）相关内容:。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess，but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “123456” or “12345” are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure，working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!，Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date— 70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords；those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games. “Nag screens”that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences，the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt：“An attacker who canmanage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts. ” And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it’s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are _____.[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out[C] random numbers [D ] popular names【答案】A27. Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to _____.[A ] lack of research tools [C] limited time of studies[B ] lack of research funds [D] limited size of samples【答案】D28.

The last paragraph of the text suggests that _____.[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C ] big websites limit the number of guesses[D ] big websites offer users convenient access【答案】BText 2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain' s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones’ foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angry, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain’ s largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved.“Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,’’ says Glancey. “At the time places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.”“Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural history. ”But Lubbock couldn’t buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally，in 1882，it was voted into law. It had，however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain' s heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31. According to the text, Stonehenge in the late 18(K)s was _____.[A] a royal property [B] utterly neglected[C] legally protected [D] a public property【答案】B32. One stone in Stonehenge fell over because _____.[A] rats weakened its foundation[B] farmers cut it to build houses[C] visitors carved pictures into it[D] visitors chipped pieces off it【答案】A33.Lubbock proposed a bill to _____.[A] push people to learn history[B] ensure government function[C] enforce ancient site protection[D]push visitors to behave properly【答案】C34. When the bill was voted into law in 1882, it had been made less _____.[A] severe [B] biased [C] implicit [D] complex【答案】A35. This text is mainly about _____.[A] a famous British Parliament member[B] the value of ancient heritages in the UK[C] the history and protection of Stonehenge[D] the origin of the Ancient Monuments Bill【答案】DPart BDirections: Read the texts from a magazine in which five women wrote to respond to an article on mother- daughter relationship. For questions 36 —40，match the name of each person to one of the statements (A -G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Lucy：As the mother of two girls，I was moved to tears by your article，because it echoed so many of my own feelings. I don，t think I should feel ashamed or that I am failing my child in any way because I feel like this. I think it’s really normal and I love the way you have put into words what so many mums feel at this stage in their lives.Anna:My husband and I both read this article and we think it is moving, thoughtful, and the ending is wonderful. People cannot deny that jealousy is a natural emotionbetween children and parents. It is wonderful to see someone emotionally mature enough to be so aware of their own feelings. And celebrate them. You have written what I am sure most mothers feel, but are too scared to admit.Beth：There is some form of jealousy between mother and daughter. I remember suspecting that my mother was jealous of me but kept it under wraps. I understood that my mother was not happy with my father and the good relationship between myself and him. The strange thing is years later. My own daughter and her father have a good relationship with each other and I can feel jealousy creeping in...Clare:When I realized my daughter had become a young woman, I was not jealous. At first I felt sad that I had lost my little girl, then I accepted this and rejoiced in her loveliness. I feel protective towards her because it is too natural for young girls to meet men. Offer your child advice on thingslike wearing fancy clothes which men do see as charming，and hope that she enjoys her life.Ruth：I think that a mature person judges herself based on her own qualities. A loving mother does not compare herself to her children and advertise her unhealthy thoughts to the world in a newspaper. I am surrounded all day at work by hot, smart young undergraduates, many of whom arehotter and smarter than 1 was at their age. When they succeed socially and academically, I feel happy for them.Now match the name of each person (36 -40) to the appropriate statement.Note：there are two extra statements.Statements36.

Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line，expecting to congratulate her daughter within the hour.Concentrating on running，Lee didn’t realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Turning to another runner, she asked how much further. “That’s when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,” Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running.Realizing Lee wasn’t among the runners crossing the 5k finish line，her mom alerted race officials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worried but she couldn’t quit. She needed to finish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line，after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy. “I see her with a medal and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real’” she said. “She decided to just keep running and not give up. ”“I’m really proud,” said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.。

From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots”and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days”or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?［A］He was delighted to show them off.［B］He did his best but was not often successful.［C］He did them quickly to get them over.［D］He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .［A］he did not get enough sleep［B］there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train［D］the dog was confused about the time of the day49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］Williams had to go to work at night［B］the dog made too much noise in the house［C］Williams made them all get up early［D］the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］he was unconscious all that time［C］he thought the wallet was in the house［D］he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance”and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods”but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or nocones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will.51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .［A］some may see everything in shades of green［B］few can tell the difference between blue and green［C］few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green［D］very few may think that everything in the world is in green52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.［A］colours only［B］shapes and colours［C］shapes only［D］darkness only53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.［A］because they hunt at night［B］because they cannot see light［C］because they have no cones and rods［D］because they have no cones54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.［A］as well as human beings can not see some colours［B］have fewer cones than human beings［C］have less rods than human beings［D］can see colours as well as human beings55. Which of the following is not true about insects?［A］Insects can see more colours than human beings.［B］Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to men.［C］All insects have their favorite colours.［D］The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings.Text 3A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, well authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted girl friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was.56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .［A］cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it［B］will be more effective if it is adapted by parents［C］must be made easy so that children can read it on their own［D］is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory57. According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that .［A］fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children［B］fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent［C］fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children［D］children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be.［A］told only once［B］repeated many times［C］told in a realistic setting［D］presented vividly59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories .［A］have a very bad effect on children［B］have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity［C］help children to come to terms with fears［D］harm children greatly60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories?［A］If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of beingtaught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman.［B］Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time.［C］Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses.［D］Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.HadleyIf you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean shaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great openair life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness.What utter nonsense!RowleyOf course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease.Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether.BerniceSmoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us.Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.公共英语三级考试模拟题及答案（1）相关内容:。
PUBLIC ENGLISH TEST SYSTEM (PETS) LEVEL 3 2017年3月全国英语等级考试第三级笔试真题试卷SECTION ⅠListening（25 minutes）答案：BACDA BCDDB CDBBA CDCCD ABAADSECTION II Reading （50 minutes）Part ADirections: Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess，but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. “123456” or “12345” are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure，working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only small samples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!，Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date— 70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords；those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games. “Nag screens” that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. For, despite their differences，the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt：“An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts. ” And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it’s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.26. People tend to use passwords that are _____.[A] easy to remember [B] hard to figure out[C] random numbers [D ] popular names【答案】A27. Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to _____.[A ] lack of research tools [C] limited time of studies[B ] lack of research funds [D] limited size of samples【答案】D28.

The last paragraph of the text suggests that _____.[A] net users regulate their online behaviors[B] net users rely on themselves for security[C ] big websites limit the number of guesses[D ] big websites offer users convenient access【答案】BText 2John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain' s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones’ foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast. Threats also included farmers and landowners as the ancient stones got in the way of working on the fields and were a free source of building materials.Shocked and angr y, Lubbock took up the fight. When he heard Britain’ s largest ancient stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire was up for sale in 1871 he persuaded its owners to sell it to him and the stone circle was saved.“Lubbock aroused national attention for ancient monuments,’’ says Glancey. “At the time places like Stonehenge were just seen as a collection of stones, ancient sites to get building materials.”“Lubbock knew they were the roots of British identity. He did for heritage what Darwin did for natural histor y. ”But Lubbock couldn’t buy every threatened site. He knew laws were needed and tabled the Ancient Monuments Bill. It proposed government powers to take any pre-historic site under threat away from uncaring owners, a radical idea at the time.For eight years he tried and failed to get the bill through parliament. Finally，in 1882，it was voted into law. It had，however, been watered down; people had to willingly give their ancient monuments to the government. But what it did do was plant the idea that the state could preserve Britain' s heritage better than private owners.Pressure started to be put on the owners of sites like Stonehenge to take better care of them.31.

Lee rushed to the starting line only to realize the race had already begun. She was told to just start running and quickly fell into pace with the others. Meanwhile her mom found a spot at the finish line，expecting to congratulate her daughter within the hour.Concentrating on running，Lee didn’t realize until mile 4 that the finish line was nowhere in sight. Turning to another runner, she asked how much further. “That’s when it struck me I was in the half marathon instead of the 5k,” Lee said afterwards. Instead of dropping out, she decided to keep running.Realizing Lee wasn’t among the runners crossing the 5k finish line，her mom alerted race officials and the police. A police officer eventually found Lee on the course of the Flower City Half Marathon. The girl said she knew her family was worr ied but she couldn’t quit. She needed to finish the race. And as she finally crossed the finish line，after running 10 miles more than she had planned, her mother cried tears of joy. “I see her with a medal and I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, she ran the other one, like for real’” she said. “She decided to just keep running and not give up. ’’ “I’m really proud,” said Lee, whose next race is this weekend.。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Passwords are everywhere in computer security. All too often, they are also ineffective. A good password has to be both easy to remember and hard to guess, but in practice people seem to pay attention to the former. Names of wives, husbands and children are popular. "123456" or "12345" are also common choices.That predictability lets security researchers (and hackers) create dictionaries which list common passwords, useful to those seeking to break in. But although researchers know that passwords are insecure, working out just how insecure has been difficult. Many studies have only smallsamples to work on.However, with the co-operation of Yahoo!, Joseph Bonneau of Cambridge University obtained the biggest sample to date—70 million passwords that came with useful data about their owners.Mr Bonneau found some interesting variations. Older users had better passwords than young ones. People whose preferred language was Korean or German chose the most secure passwords; those who spoke Indonesian the least. Passwords designed to hide sensitive information such as credit-card numbers were only slightly more secure than those protecting less important things, like access to games. "Nag screens" that told users they had chosen a weak password made virtually no difference. And users whose accounts had been hacked in the past did not make more secure choices than those who had never been hacked.But it is the broader analysis of the sample that is of most interest to security researchers. Despite their differences, the 70 million users were still predictable enough that a generic password dictionary was effective against both the entire sample and any slice of it. Mr Bonneau is blunt: "An attacker who can manage ten guesses per account will compromise around 1% of accounts." And that is a worthwhile outcome for a hacker.One obvious solution would be for sites to limit the number of guesses that can be made before access is blocked. Yet whereas the biggest sites, such as Google and Microsoft, do take such measures, many do not. The reasons of their not doing so are various. So it"s time for users to consider the alternatives to traditional passwords.第26题People tend to use passwords that are ______.A.easy to rememberB.hard to figure outC.random numbersD.popular names第27题Researchers find it difficult to know how unsafe passwords are due to ______.ck of research toolsck of research fundsC.limited time of studiesD.limited size of samples第28题It is indicated in the text that ______.A.Indonesians are sensitive to password securityB.young people tend to have secure passwordsC.nag screens help little in password securityD.passwords for credit cards are usually safe第29题The underlined word "compromise" in Para. 5 most probably means ______.prisepensateC.endangerD.encounter第30题The last paragraph of the text suggests that ______. users regulate their online behaviors users rely on themselves for securityC.big websites limit the number of guessesD.big websites offer users convenient access上一题下一题(31~35/共10题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. John Lubbock, a British member of the Parliament, led to the first law to safeguard Britain"s heritage—the Ancient Monuments Bill. How did it happen?By the late 1800s more and more people were visiting Stonehenge for a day out. Now a World Heritage Site owned by the Crown, it was, at the time, privately owned and neglected.But the visitors left behind rubbish and leftover food. It encouraged rats that made holes at the stones" foundations, weakening them. One of the upright stones had already fallen over and one had broken in two. They also chipped pieces off the stones for souvenirs and carved pictures into them, says architectural critic Jonathan Glancey.It was the same for other pre-historic remains, which were disappearing fast.
