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。

2004年秋湖北省部分重点中学联考高三年级英语试题参考答案及简析听力测试：1—10. CAABB ACCAB 11—20. AACCB CBBCB单项填空：21.B。

说话者是主动地向对方提供帮助，那么，对方的答语只能是“是否同意”，故选B项表欣然同意。

A项意义是I’ll do that with pleasure. 或I’m glad to do that。

C项表“没关系、不客气”与对话的逻辑意义不符。

D项表乐意地为某人做过了某事；22.C。

promise后接不定式有一用法是表示“有指望；可望…”，又如：She promises to bea singer. “她可望成为一名歌唱家；“more diligent than clever”“与其说他聪明不如说他勤奋”。

23.A。

“表让步”（“that”替代上句），尽管她长得胖，可她是一位很优秀的举重运动员。

而B项“除…而外”，C项“多亏…”，D项“由于、因…的缘故”等在对话的逻辑意义上均不通。

24.C。

besides (adv.) “此外，另外，而且”（通常放在句首）；若用more须放在others之前；若用another须放在two之前，并将others改为ones；若用ones, others须改为other。

25.D。

当多个的形容词修饰一个名词时，一般的排列顺序是：“限定词→描绘性形容词→表示大小、长短、高低的→表示形状的→表示年龄、新旧的→表示颜色的→表示国籍、地区、出处的→表示物质、材料的→表示用途、类别的→被修饰的名词”。

如：a nice small round old brown French wooden dining table26.D。

a) City of Paris中的of表同位关系，city是普通名词，指的是巴黎，故用限定词the，若是Paris City则不用冠词。

又如：Beijing City = The City of Beijing。

text 3 there is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expert and study agree: men are more aggressive than women. it shows up in 2-year-olds. it continues through school days and persists into adulthood. it is even constant across cultures. and there is little doubt that it is rooted in biology in the male sex hormone testosterone. if there's a feminine trait that's the counterpart of male aggressiveness, it's what social scien-tists awkwardly refer to as "nurturance". feminists have argued that the nurturing nature of women is not biological in origin, but rather has been drummed into women by a society that wanted to keep them in the home. but the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numerous to ignore. just as tiny infant girls respond more readily to human faces, female toddlers learn much faster than males how to pick up nonverbal cues from others. and grown women are far more adept than men at interpreting facial expressions: a recent study by university of pennsylvania brain researcher ru-ben gur showed that they easily read emotions such as anger, sadness and fear. the only such e-motion men could pick up was disgust. what difference do such differences make in the real world? among other things, women appear to be somewhat less competitive--or at least competitive in different ways--than men. at the harvard law school, for instance, female students enter with credentials just as outstanding as those of their male peers. but they don' t qualify for the prestigious law review in proportionate numbers, a fact some school officials attribute to women' s discomfort in the incredibly competitive atmosphere. students of management styles have found fewer differences than they expected between men and women who reach leadership positions, perhaps because many successful women deliberately imitate masculine ways. but an analysis by purdue social psychologist alice eagly of 166 studies of leadership style did find one consistent difference: men tend to be more “autocratic”-making decisions on their own--while women tend to consult colleagues and subordinates more often. studies of behavior in small groups turn up even more differences. men will typically domi-nate the discussion, says university of toronto psychologist kenneth dion, spending more time talking and less time listening. 56. the passage mainly discusses__________. [ a ] how sex differences are demonstrated in social relations [ b ] how hormone determines sex differences [ c ] why there are differences between males and females [ d ] why men and women have different social roles 57. which of the following is true of women's nurturing nature according to the passage? [ a ] it is not inborn in any sense. [ b ] it is inspired by women' s families. [ c ] it is caused by social prejudice. [ d ] it is partly biological in origin. 58. the harvard law school example in paragraph 3 suggests that_________. [ a ] women are not as competitive as men [ b ] law is not the fight profession for women [ c ] women are as excellent as men when they are young [ d ] academic credentials are disproportionate to performance 59. which of the following statement is tree according to paragraph 4? [ a ] men leaders should consult colleagues and subordinates more often. [ b ] female leaders' success is due to their imitating male leaders. [ c ] men and women are different in their leadership style. [ d ] decisiveness is an important quality for a successful politician. 60. it can be inferred from the passage that the writer_________. [ a ] denies the difference sexes make in real life [ b ] is prejudiced against men [ c ] discourages women to be competitive [ d ] treats sex difference objectively part b directions: read the texts from an article in which five people talked about energy and making use of it. for questions 61 to 65, match the name of each speaker to one of the statements (a to g) given below. mark your answers on your answer sheet 1. jackson: viewed from a scientist's standpoint, all of the energy contained in fuel either now or in the future becomes heat. some of the heat is used directly or produces useful work. the rest is lost or rejected. that is to say, it is radiated into the atmosphere from the engines, motors, furnaces, power lines, television sets, boilers and all the other energy-consuming machinery thatmakes our wheels go around. browning: it is necessary to improve the efficiency with. which we use energy in order to do more work. but improvement cannot come overnight, and there are limits beyond which not even science can help. according to the center for strategic and international studies, about three quarters of the energy we use to move things, including ourselves, accomplishes no useful work. jeffrey: in terms of efficiency, buses, trains, and other forms of public transportation may be using en-ergy more efficiently than private automobiles. unless private automobiles can operate at near capacity, their overall efficiency is poor. for example, an urban bus carrying 36 passengers may achieve an efficiency of around 120 passenger-miles per gallon of gasoline. but buses are not al-ways fully loaded, and sometimes they carry no passengers at all. vandenberg: it is true that buses can sometimes run without passengers. city trains seem to be very effi-cient, but they suffer the same shortcomings as buses and cost more. except for rush hours, com-muter trains seldom run at full capacity. this wastes even more energy and is more than the management can afford. as a result, commuter trains are truly practical only in places where there are a lot of people. nathan: for some people, mass transportation may serve their needs. for others, a combination of mass transportation and private transportation may be preferable. better design and wise use of both mass transportation systems and private vehicles will play an important part in helping us make full-er use of energy for transportation. now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement. note: there are two extra statements. statements 61. jackson 62. browning 63. jeffrey 64. vandenberg 65. nathan [ a ] city trains and buses have different faults to overcome.[ b ] the efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population.[ c ] public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.[ d ] private cars usually run at full capacity.[ e ] no fuel energy is fully used.[ f ] a combined means of transport can help increase energy efficiency.[ g ] problems of energy loss can never be completely solved.。

04年3月全国英语等级考试三级真题(2)SECTION Ⅲ 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 ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Bum rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate would be $ 50,000 a month when my new media company started. So, I began looking around for individuals who would be my first investors. "Angel money" it was called. But when I reviewed my list of acquaintances to find those who might be able to help, I found the number got small.With no other choices, I began meeting with the venture-capital companies. But I was warned they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in. And if you struggled, they could drop you cold.As I was searching for "angel money", I started to build a team who trusted me even though I didn't have money for paychecks yet.Bill Becker was an expert in computer programming and image processing at a very famous Media Lab at M. I.T. With his arrival, my company suddenly had a maior technology "guy" in-house.Katherine Henderson, a filmmaker and a former real-estate dealer, joined us as our director of market research. Steve White came on as operating officer. He had worked for the developer of a home-finance software, Quicken. We grabbed him.We had some really good people, but we still didn't have enough money. One night, my neighbor, Louise Johnson, came for a visit. She and I were only nodding acquaintances, but her boys and ours were constant companions. She ran a very good business at the time.Louise was brilliant and missed nothing. She had been watching my progressclosely. She knew I was dying for money and I had prospects but could offer no guarantees of success.She told me that her attorney had talked to mine and the terms had been agreed upon. She handed me an envelope. Inside was a check for $ 500,000.I almost fell down. I heard her voice as if from heaven."I have confidence in your plan," she said. "You' 11 do well. You're going to work hard for it, but it' s satisfying when you build your own company."Who would have thought I'd find an angel so close to home? There were no words sufficient for the moment. We just said good night. She left and I just stood there, completely humbled and completely committed.46. For a newly-established business, bum rate refers to___________.A. the salary it pays to its staffB. the interest it pays to the bankC. the way in which it raises capitalD. the speed at which it spends money47. By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.A. the money borrowed from banksB. the money spent to promote salesC. the money raised from close friendsD. the money needed to start a business48. To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.A. put up with unfair termsB. change your business lineC. enlarge your business scopeD. let them operate your business49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________.A. they were underpaid at their previous jobsB. they were turned down by other companiesC. they were confident of the author and his businessD. they were satisfied with the salaries in his company50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.A. she wanted to join his companyB. she knew he would build a teamC. she knew his plan would succeedD. she wanted to help promote his salesText 2Nearly all "speed reading" courses have a "pacing" element--some timing device which lets the student know how many words a minute he is reading. You can do this simply by looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes and noting down the page number you have reached. Check the average number of words per page for the particular book you are reading. How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you are busy reading the book? Well, this is difficult at first. A friend can help by timing you over a set period, or you can read within hearing distance of a pub-lic clock which strikes the quarter hours. Pace yourself every three or four days, always with the same kind of easy, general interest books. You should soon notice your accustomed w. p.m. rate creeping up.Obviously there is little point in increasing your w. p. m. rate if you do not understand what you are reading. When you are consciously trying to increase your reading speed, stop after every chapter （ if you are reading a novel） or every section or group of ten or twelve pages （ if it is a text-book） and ask yourself a few questions about what you have been reading. If you find you have lost the thread of the story, or you cannot remember clearly the details of what was said, reread the section or chapter.You can also try "lightning speed" exercise from time to time. Take four or five pages of the general interest book you happen to be reading and read them as fast as you possibly can. Do not bother about whether you understand or not. Now go back and read them at what you feel to be your "normal" w. p. m. rate, the rate at which you can comfortably understand. After a 'lightning speed' reading through （probably 600 w. p. m. ） you will usually find that your "normal" speed has increased-perhaps. by as much as 50-100 w. p.m. This is the technique sportsmen usewhen they usually run further in training than they will have to on the day of the big race.51. According to the passage, a "pacing" device_________.A.is used to time student' s reading speedB.is. not used in most, speed reading coursesC. is used as .an aid to vocabulary learningD. should be used whenever we read alone52. In speed reading, looking at your watch every 5 or 10 minutes_________.A. avoids the need for reading fasterB. is not the same as pacingC. may seem unworkable at firstD. helps you to remember your page number53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_______.A. every chapterB. every sectionC. every four or five pagesD. every ten or twelve pages54. The purpose of the "lightning speed" exercise is to_________.A. increase your speed by scanning the text firstB. test your maximum reading speedC. help you understand more of the content of the bookD. enable you to win reading races against your friends55. The best title for this passage would be_________.A. Hints for Successful ReadingB. Hints for Speed ReadingC. Effective ReadingD. Lightning Speed ExercisesText 3There is one difference between the sexes on which virtually every expertand study agree: men are more aggressive than women. It shows up in 2-year-olds.

第三部分阅读理解 Pan A Textl 参考译⽂ “燃烧速率”是指⼀家刚起步的公司花钱的速度. 当我的新媒体公司刚创⽴的时候燃烧速率是每个⽉50，000美元. 因此，我开始四下寻找可能成为我的第⼀批投资者，得到的投资被称为“赞助资⾦”. 但是当我考虑在我认识的⼈中有谁能帮我时，我发现寥寥⽆⼏. 在别⽆选择的情况下. 我开始接触风险投资公司. 但是有⼈警告我说这类投资公司会因为他们投⼊的资⾦⽽抽⾛公司的很⼤⼀部分股份. ⽽且如果你表⽰反对，他们会⽴刻把你扔在⼀边不予理睬. 在我寻找“赞助资⾦”的同时我开始建⽴⾃⼰的团队. 团队⾥的每⼀个⼈都信任我，即使是我没钱给他们发薪⽔. ⽐尔?贝克是⿇省理⼯⼀个⾮常出名的媒体实验室的电脑程序和图像处理专家. 他的到来使公司内部⼀下⼦便有了⼀名技术⾻⼲. 凯瑟琳—汉德森是⼀个电影制⽚⼈，曾是⼀名地产商. 她也加⼊了我们的团队，成为公司的市场研发主管. 史蒂芬—怀特也加⼊进来成为执⾏官. 他之前⼀直为家庭财务软件开发商Quicken⼯作. 我们把他挖了过来. 我们有很棒的员⼯，但是我们的钱不够. ⼀天晚上，我的邻居露易丝?强森来访. 她和我只有点头之交，但是她的⼉⼦和我的⼉⼦却是天天在⼀起的伙伴. 那时她的事业正如⽕如荼. 露易丝很聪明，并且不会错过任何机会. 她⼀直在密切关注我的公司. 她知道我⾮常需要钱，⽽且还知道我很有希望，但是不能保证⼀定能成功. 她告诉我说她的律师已经和我的律师谈过了，并且达成了共识. 她递给我⼀个信封，⾥⾯是⼀张50万美元的⽀票. 我差点倒下，我听着她讲话，那声⾳就像来⾃天堂. “我对你的计划有信⼼，”她说.“你会做得很好. 你得为之努⼒奋⽃，但是建⽴⾃⼰的公司是⼀件很令⼈满⾜的事情.” 谁会想到我会在家门⼝找到赞助⼈? 此刻，说什么都显得不⾜. 我们只是道了晚安. 她离开之后我站在那⾥，充满了谦卑和诚恳. 46．D 【精析】细节题. 本题答案在⽂章第⼀段第⼀句话. 47．D 【精析】推理题.“angel money”出现在⽂章第⼀段第四句. 由其前⾯的⼀句话可知这笔钱是第⼀批投资商投⼊的资⾦，此时公司刚刚成⽴，从⽽可判断“angel money”是⽤来创业的. 故选D. 48．A 【精析】推理题. 从⽂章第⼆段第⼆句话“…they took a huge share of your company for the money they put in．”可知，投资公司会拿⾛公司相当⼤的⼀部分股份，这种交易当然是不公平的. 故选A. 49．C 【精析】推理题. 本题答案在第三段. 作者说团队⾥每⼀个⼈都很信任他，即使⾃⼰没有钱可以付给他们⼯资. 由此可见，团队成员都对作者及其创办的公司很有信⼼，不然不会不计后果地给他做事. 故选C. 50．C 【精析】细节题. ⽂章倒数第五段说“She knew 1 was dying for money and I had prospects．．．可知，露易丝认为作者的公司很有希望. 故选C. Text 2 参考译⽂ ⼏乎所有的“快速阅读”课程都有“计划进度”这⼀部分—⼀指设定时间以使学⽣知道⾃⼰每分钟看了多少字. 你⾃⼰也可以做到这点，只需要每隔5分钟或10分钟看⼀下⼿表，然后记下你读到的页码. 查⼀下你所读的书平均每页有多少字. 在你忙于看书的时候怎么知道5分钟已经过去了呢? 开始是很难. 你可以叫⼀个朋友在设定的时间提醒你，有些公共⼤钟每到整刻都会敲响，你可在能够听到钟声的范围内看书. 每三、四天给⾃⼰定⼀个“进度计划”，每次都看同种类的通俗易懂的书. 你很快会发现⾃⼰惯常的字／每分钟速率在不断上升. 显然，如果你不明⽩⾃⼰在读什么的话，提⾼阅读速度也就没有意义. 当你有意识地试着提⾼阅读速度的时候，读完⼀章(如果你读的是⼩说)，⼀节或者10到20页(如果你读的是课本)停下来问⾃⼰⼏个关于所读内容的问题. 如果你发现⾃⼰已经忘记了故事的主线或者不能清楚记得细节，那么把这⼀章或这⼀节再读⼀遍. 你还可以时不时地尝试⼀下“闪电速度”练习. 在你正在看的符合⼤众趣味的书中选四或五页来看，能看多快就看多快. 不要在乎是否看得懂. 现在回过头去以你认为“正常”的速度来看那⼏页书，也就是以你能易于看懂的速度. 在⼀次“闪电速度”阅读之后(⼤概每分钟600字)，你通常会发现你的“正常速度”提⾼了——可能每分钟要提⾼50-100字. 运动员们也是⽤这种⽅法，他们通常在训练的时候跑的⽐参加⼤赛时跑的距离要远⼀些. 51．A 【精析】释义题. 本题答案可由⽂章第⼀句话得出. 破折号后⾯的句⼦解释了pacing device是⽤来测试学⽣阅读速度的. 故选A. 52．C 【精析】细节题. 由⽂章第⼀段第四句“How do you know when 5 minutes has passed on your watch if you ale busying reading the book? Well，this is difficult at first．”可知，刚开始的时候每5分钟或者lO分钟看⼀下表似乎不太现实. 故选C. 53．A 【精析】细节题. 由⽂章第⼆段第⼆句“．．．stop after every chap-ter(if you ale reading a novel)”可知，如果读的是⼩说的话应该在读完每⼀章后停⼀下. 故选A. 54．A 【精析】推理题. 解答本题关键在于理解⽂章第三段. 本段⾸先介绍了如何进⾏闪电阅读练习——⾸先速读，⽽后指出了其效果——正常阅读速度得到提⾼. 并提到运动员也常⽤类似⽅法来提⾼成绩.可见“lightning speed”是通过⾸先快速浏览⽂章来提⾼阅读速度. 55．B 【精析】主旨题.本⽂的主旨是“提⾼阅读速度”，⽂章谈论了“快速阅读”中时间设定及内容理解⽅⾯的问题，并推荐了⼀种练习⽅法——“闪电速度”，主要是围绕快速阅读⽽谈.与此有关的选项是B.。

Lie detectors are commonly 26as emotion detectors, for their aim is to 27 bodily changes that contradict what a 28 says. The lie detector records changes 29 heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and the electrical 30 of the skin. In the first part of the 31, you are electronically connected to the machine and 32 a few neutral questions (“What is your name?” etc). Your physical reactions serve 33 the standard for evaluating what comes 34. Then you are presented with a few 35 questions among the neutral ones (“When did you rob the bank?”). The idea is that if you are 36, your body will reveal the truth, even ifyou try to 37 it. Your heart rate and breathing will change 38 as you respond to the questions.That is the theory, but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not 39. Since most physical changes are the same across 40 emotions, lie detectors cannot tell41 you are feeling angry, nervous or excited. 42 people may be tense and nervous 43 the whole procedure. They may react physiologically to a certain word (“bank”) not because they robbed it, but because they recently used a bad check. In either 44, the machine will record a “lie”.On the other hand, some practiced liars can lie 45 hesitation, so the reverse mistake is also common.26.［A］ fixed ［B］ designed ［C］ known ［D］ produced27.［A］ measure ［B］ keep ［C］ maintain ［D］ grade28.［A］ policeman ［B］ suspect ［C］ person ［D］ criminal29.［A］ from ［B］ with ［C］ upon ［D］ in30.［A］ display ［B］ activity ［C］ action ［D］ flow31.［A］ test ［B］ research ［C］ operation［D］ project32.［A］ investigated ［B］ questioned ［C］ raised ［D］ asked33.［A］ by ［B］ as ［C］ on ［D］ with34.［A］ again ［B］ behind ［C］ after ［D］ next35.［A］ critical ［B］ interesting ［C］ general ［D］ impossible36.［A］ wrong ［B］ bad ［C］ guilty ［D］ mistaken37.［A］ mislead ［B］ confuse ［C］ deny ［D］ cancel38.［A］ slowly ［B］ naturally ［C］ steadily ［D］ abruptly39.［A］ reliable ［B］ usable ［C］ reasonable ［D］ comprehensible40.［A］ other ［B］ some ［C］ any ［D］ all41.［A］ whether ［B］ when ［C］ where ［D］ why42.［A］ Untrained ［B］ Innocent ［C］ Naive ［D］ Ignorant43.［A］ before ［B］ about ［C］ after ［D］ at44.［A］ fact ［B］ case ［C］ condition［D］ chance45.［A］ beyond ［B］ through ［C］ without ［D］ against Section III 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 ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1Fifteen years ago, I entered the Boston Globe, which was a temple to me then. It wasn’t easy getting hired. I had to fight my way into a dime a word job. But once you were there, 1 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 if I stuck 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, not trusting myself just then.I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to start a new media company. That the Globe had taught me in a thousand ways. That 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 ambitions48. 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 house49. 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.

If we enjoy a high standard of living in modern society, we owe much to this Scottish economist and philosopher. If we enjoy driving in beautiful cars,wearing fashionable shoes, or flying away to distant places for exciting holidays, we should perhaps pay thanks to the man who made it all possible.What was Adam Smith’s contribution? Like so many ideas which have surprising effects, his was a simple one. He watched workers practising their craft of pin making. One man would heat the strip of metal, stretch it out, cut off an appropriate length, shape it, cool it and finally smooth and shine it. Smith drew attention to the advantages which could be gained if these various tasks were performed by different workers. Let one be responsible for preparing the metal. Another for stretching and cutting. Another for shaping. Another for finishing. He described the technique as the Division of Labour; in this way workers repeat the same actions again and again. Smith convinced the world that specialisation could solve the problem of poverty and want.What was the result? The Industrial Revolution. Productivity was greatly increased. For Britain, where the revolution started, there was a prosperity which made it the richest country in the nineteenth century.British trains and railway lines spread out like a spider’s web across the world. British ships were used to carry the new cargoes from one corner of the world to another.The revolution is not over. It is still with us, but now it is a worldwide phenomenon. Everywhere, factories are producing large numbers of similar products, and are in continuous production. What were called mass production lines yesterday are called robotic productions today. The pace of change is increasing. And if these techniques have brought us prosperity, they have also brought us a little misery in overcrowded towns, boring jobs and, most of all, unemployment.51. We should be grateful to Adam Smith because.［A］ his ideas made it possible for people to improve their lives［B］ he invented a more efficient way of pin making［C］ he started the industrial revolution［D］ he brought to people a high standard of living52. Which of the following is true according to the passage?［A］ The Division of Labour makes work more interesting.［B］ Specialisation could solve the problem of unemployment.［C］ Adam Smith put forward the idea of the Division of Labour.［D］ Adam Smith insisted that each worker be better paid.53. From the passage we know that the Industrial Revolution.［A］ led to Adam Smith’s idea of specialisation［B］ was finished in the nineteenth century［C］ also has its side effects in society［D］ put an end to poverty in the world54. According to the passage, the Industrial Revolution is responsible for the following results except.［A］ prosperity ［B］ crime［C］ unemployment ［D］ overcrowdedness55. What is the best title for this passage?［A］ The Theory of Division of Labour and Its Significance［B］ The Industrial Revolution and Its Significance［C］The Causes of Industrial Revolution［D］Adam Smith, the Economist and PhilosopherText 3Whenever I see anyone buying a National Lottery ticket I want to stop them and ask if they know just where their money is going.The lottery money is supposed to go to charity — but it makes me angry to see some of the so called “good causes” it’s being used to support. Also, Camelot, the organizers, have made a profit of ￡10.8 million in five months. We hear now that a lot of that money is boosting the pay packets of the company’s bosses.For the past 10 years I’ve been helping to raise funds for a cancer research charity called Tenovus. My husband, Sandy, died from cancer 11 years ago — he was only 51. There’s been a long line of deaths in our family through cancer and it’s been devastating. I’ve also lost two sisters in law, my brother, Michael, my father in law and my father. That’s apart from several close friends.The charity is 50 years old now and raises money mainly for breast cancer research. It also runs a support line for the families of cancer sufferers. Our local group raises money through dances, sales and coffee mornings, and all the funds go directly to cancer research. In 1993 Tenovus raised ￡3 million — and half that money came from sales of our own lottery tickets at supermarkets. But our income has dropped by half since the National Lottery was introduced.I’m not against people playing the National Lottery, but they should think about what they’re doing. The chances of winning the jackpot are so small; they might as well throw their money away.The Government tells us that the proceeds are going to things like the arts and sport, but what about the National Health Service? They should give some cash to that, too. How can they justify spending ridiculous amounts of cash on so called works of art — like displays of potatoes — or buying up Winston Churchill’s papers at a cost of ￡12 million?So who really are the winners in the National Lottery? When I think of all that money people could be donating to cancer research,I could weep. It’s time people realized how charities across the country are suffering because of the National Lottery. It’s disheartening and so infuriating.56. The writer seems to hope that.［A］ people will spend more money on the National Lottery［B］ people will give more money to charity［C］ most of the lottery money will go to charity［D］ most of the lottery money will be used for cancer research57. The reason why the writer raises funds for cancer research is that.［A］ she herself is suffering from cancer［B］ the cancer is the most frightening disease［C］ a number of her relatives died of cancer［D］ some cancer research needs more money than other research58. In this text the writer is expressing.［A］ her personal opinions［B］ the opinions of the general public［C］ her feelings about cancer sufferers［D］ some ideas of fund raising59. The organisation “Tenovus” is.［A］ run by a group of people in the writer’s town［B］ a charity organisation which has some local groups［C］ set up to collect money for people who lose their relatives［D］ set up to assist the National Lottery60. From the text we can conclude that.［A］ the writer is enthusiastically supporting the National Lottery［B］ the writer has objections to the National Lottery［C］ the writer believes that the lottery money should be used for cancer research ［D］the writer is just expressing her feelings about collecting money for charityPart BDirections：Read the texts from a magazine article in which five business leaders talked about their predictions for high tech developments in the 21st century.For Questions 61 to 65,match the name of each person to one of the statements (A to G)given below.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Maguel de Icaza:Free software benefits people, countries and companies by giving them complete control of the software on which they depend. This is helping close the digital divide between developed and underdeveloped countries. People who previously might never have had access to this sort of technology are already leading the efforts to bring it to the developing world. Free software is the foundation on which a fairer future and a more efficient economy is being built.Austin Hill:Welcome to the future. Your mobile phone tracks your location, your interactive TV records your viewing habits. Privacy is to the information age what environmentalism was to the industrial age. Businesses will protect themselves, and their customers, by introducing privacy promoting technologies and building better data controls into every aspect of their operation. A leading class of privacy protectors willemerge in every industry, and both they and their customers will reap the rewards of the ethical privacy brand.Ng Ede Phang:This will be the year that plain old text e mail sits up and starts talking — and talking a lot. The human voice is a powerful weapon. An e mail doesn’t tell me whether you’re happy, sad or excited, whereas Internet voice services provide all these key emotional characteristics. The human voice adds a very powerful element to business relationships that e mail just cannot match.Murray Goldman:For those of us who live on airplanes, a key decision is which electronic devices to carry on a trip. The future is in the appropriate combination of communications and computing devices. Many business travelers will require the full computing power of a personal computer, with a screen large enough to do intensive work. As a result, lightweight notebooks have been introduced to the market with innovative options such as built in DVDs, cameras and wireless capabilities.Christine Karman:We’ll see agents on portals and community websites helping people trade goods and information. Venture capitalists are shifting from dotcoms to software and hardware companies. In Europe, that shift is hard to make because we don’t have a Silicon Valley from which lots of companies are conquering the world. As a consequence, the slowly emerging Internet and software industry in Europe may not survive. If I were starting a new software company now, I’d go to California or Boston.Now match each of the persons (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note:there are two extra statements.Statements61.

You must choose the one which you think fits best. Then blacken the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneQuestions 51 - 56 are based on die following passage.Awarded the Nobel Prize for physics in 1918, German physicist Max Planck is best remembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped usher in a new era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community’s understanding of atomic and subatomic processes.Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later called quantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Planck's constant. It is now recognized as one of the fundamental constants of the world.Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields.51. In which of the following fields did Max Planck NOT make a significantcontribution?A. Optics.B. Thermodynamics.C. Statistical mechanics.D. Biology.52. The word "revolutionary" as used in Line 15 means_.A. radicalB. extremistC. momentousD. militaristic53. It can be inferred from the passage that Planck’s work led to the development of________.A. The rocketB. The atomic bombC. The internal combustion engineD. The computer54. The particles of electromagnetic radiation given off by matter are known as ____.A. quantumsB. atomsC. electronsD. valences55. The implication in this passage is that ______.A. only a German physicist could discover such a theoryB. quantum theory, which led to the development of twentieth century physics, isbasically a mathematical formulaC. Planck's constant was not discernible before 1900D. radiation was hard to study56. ―An idea‖ as used in line 5, refers to _____.A. a model of matterB. emission of electromagnetic radiationC. quantumsD. the equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to high frequenciesPassage TwoQuestions 57 ~ 62 are based on the following passage.There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission decided that the modern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter of record that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called ―baseball‖. Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and different names in various parts of the country —―town ball‖, ―rounders‖, or ―one old cat‖. Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of the game.Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rules Cartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modern baseball. The game was played on a "diamond" infield with the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams. The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.57. Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?A. Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.B. Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed very little from today'sgame.C. As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called "baseball".D. The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn of the century.58. What was the first professional baseball team called?A. New York Knickerbockers.B. Milwaukee Braves.C. Cincinnati Red Stockings.D. Brooklyn Dodgers.59. Who first gave baseball a standard set of rules?A. Abner Doubleday.B. Alexander Cartwright.C. Albert Spalding.D. Babe Ruth.60. Which of the followings was not a predecessor of baseball?A. Rounders.B. Town ball.C. Cricket.D. One old cat.61. The tone of the passage is ______.A. persuasiveB. informativeC. biasedD. argumentative62. The passage implies that until 1869, baseball was played for all of the followingreasons except _______.A. exerciseB. leisureC. profitD. socializingPassage ThreeQuestions 63-68 are based on the following passage.The blue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particles suspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Although waters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water is commonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. This is caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are one source of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the water brown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow of large rivers can often be observed many miles offshore by the coloration of suspended soil particles.Marine phytoplankton (Greek for "plant wanderers") are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms, which photogynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatoms are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, more recently, electron scanning microscopists.63. Green water near coastlines is almost always caused by _____.A. sand colorB. red pigments in coastal watersC. blue pigmentD. reflected light and yellow pigment from plant life64. Phytoplankton are the source of which color pigment?A. Red.B. Green.C. Yellow.D. Blue.65. What can give waters a brownish hue near the shore?A. Sediment.B. Phytoplankton.C. Blue pigment.D. Diatoms.66. Which of the following is NOT a type of phytoplankton?A. Green algae.B. Diatoms.C. Blue-green algae.D. Amoeba.67. The growth of phytoplankton is often limited by the availability of _____.A. oxygenB. hydrogenC. nitrogenD. carbon dioxide68. The main idea of this passage is that _____.A. light causes sea colorB. sea coloration is varied because of a combination of length of light waves andmicroscopic plant life and siltC. microscopic plant life causes sea colorD. water composition causes sea colorPassage FourQuestions 69 - 75 are based on the following passage.The United States government publishes guidelines for appropriate nutrient intakes. These are known as the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition. RDAs are suggested amounts of calories, protein, and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet. For other dietary substances, specific goals must await further research. However, for the U.S. population as a whole, increasing starch and fiber in one's diet and reducing calories (primarily from fats, sugar, and alcohol) is sensible. These suggestions are especially appropriate for people who have other factors for chronic diseases due to family history of obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who use tobacco.Snacks can furnish about one-fourth of the calorie requirements among teenagers. Those snacks should also provide much of the day's allowances for protein, minerals, and vitamins. Sandwiches, fruit, and milk make good snacks for active teenagers. Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal. A grilled cheese sandwich or a bowl of whole-grain cereal is just as nutritious in the morning as it is at noon. In addition, a good breakfast consists of any foods that supply about one-fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.69. The passage directly states that most of the U. S. population should increase theirintake of ______.A. proteinB. fatsC. starch and fiberD. sandwiches70. A good breakfast should supply about what percentage of the necessary nutrientsfor the day?A. One-half.B. One-third.C. One-fourth.D. Less than one-fourth.71. The passage implies which of the following?A. The rime of day when food is consumed affects its nutritive value.B. Different foods can be combined to increase total nutrition value.C. It can be detrimental to your health to eat breakfast foods later in the day.D. When food is eaten has no bearing on its nutritive effects.72. Why are RDAs regularly updated?A. New discoveries in the science of nutrition are constantly being made.B. Americans' diets are constantly changing.C. As people age, their nutritional needs change.D. Very little is currently known about nutrition.73. In this passage RDAs refers to___.A. types of vitaminsB. types of proteinC. types of mineralsD. amounts of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals74. One implication in this passage is that _____.A. all RDAs have been establishedB. not all RDAs have been established yetC. it's not important to know RDAsD. RDAs are necessary only for sick people75. The reduction of calories in the diet is particularly good for people who sufferfrom ________.A. obesityB. premature heart disease and diabetesC. high blood pressure and cholesterol levelsD. all of the abovePassage FiveQuestions 76 - 81 are based on the following passage.The most popular organic gem is the pearl. A pearl is the response of a marine mollusk to the presence of an irritating impurity accidentally introduced into its body;a cultured pearl is the result of the intentional insertion of a mother-of-pearl bead into a live mollusk. Whether introduced accidentally or intentionally, the pearl-making process is the same: the mollusk coats the irritant with a substance called nacre. Nacre is composed chiefly of calcium carbonate. Because very few natural pearls are now on the market, most pearls used in fine jewelry are cultured. These include "Biwa" pearls and most other freshwater pearls. Cultured pearls are not easily distinguished from natural pearls except by an expert.76. Which of the following people could tell the difference between a cultured pearland an organic pearl?A. Scuba diver.B. Fisherman.C. Jeweler.D. Clerk.77. What is the chief component of nacre?A. Sand.B. Bead.C. Calcium carbonate.D. Biwa.78. The difference between a pearl and a cultured pearl is the nature of the ____.A. colorB. introduction of the irritating impurityC. coating materialD. irritating impurity79. Nacre is a substance that is ______.A. mechanically manufacturedB. the result of laboratory testingC. organically secreted by the molluskD. present in the chemical composition of freshwater pounds80. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. most marketable pearls are cultured because nature does not produce enough ofits own to satisfy the marketB. cultured pearls are of a higher quality than natural pearlsC. there are two major methods of pearl-makingD. a natural ―drought‖ of pearl production is taking place81. Cultured pearl is formed by ____.A. insertion of a pearl into a live molluskB. an oyster into which a piece of grit has been placedC. putting in a live molluskD. placing a bead into culturePassage SixQuestions 82-87 are based on the following passage.Stress is with us all the time. It comes from mental or emotional activity as well as physical activity. It is unique and personal to each of us. So personal, in fact, that what may be relaxing to one person may be stressful to another. For example, if you're a busy executive who likes to keep occupied all of the time, "taking it easy" at the beach on a beautiful day may be extremely frustrating, nonproductive, and upsetting. You may be emotionally distressed from "doing nothing." Too much emotional stress can cause physical illnesses such as high blood pressure, ulcers, or even heart disease. Physical stress from work or exercise is not likely to cause such ailments. The truth is that physical exercise can help you to relax and to better handle your mental or emotional stress.82.

It is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of tree barks and leaves which today are known to contain a chemical found in aspirin. During the 19th century, there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this。

Late last year, I needed to transport some furniture from our house in Sussex to my son´ s fiat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it for me, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a van and drive it myself. It was a Ford Transit 280, long and wide; you couldn´ t see out of the back. You never really knew how close you were to anything else on the road.Reversing in my home yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. At least I owned the shed.I loaded up the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I steered the huge van through ever-shifting lanes, across oncoming vehicles, between distances of buses, at last to Charlotte Street.Here, I found an available parking space. As I reversed into it, I noticed three people at a pavement café waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who has just endured a storm-y Atlantic crossing. "You´ ve shifted the car parked behind you three feet," they said, and itbe-longed to a disabled person. I examined the car. There were white scratches along its front bumper.It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the stern gaze of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car´ s windscreen, giving my phone number.I unloaded the furniture, dripping with sweat. Wanting only to escape the monster, I drove the van back to its base on the Edgware Road. On arrival, the hire man told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. "Just charge me," I cried, still shaking with fear. He gazed at me with understanding. No doubt he´d witnessed others in this state before. "How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive her back?" he asked.He danced the great van through the traffic so casually that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful.26 [单选题] The writer felt regretful that he had__________．A.hired someone to drive for himB.asked his son to do the deliveryC.rented a small van for his goodsD.delivered the furniture himself正确答案：D参考解析：参考译文去年年底，我需要将我在苏塞克斯郡家里的一些家具运到我儿子在伦敦市中心的公寓去。

2004年9月PETS3真题及答案Although "lie detectors" are widely used by governments, police departments and businesses, the results are not always accurate. Lie detectors are commonly 26 as emotion detectors, for their aim is to 27 bodily changes that contradict what a 28 says. The lie detector records changes 29 heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, and the electrical 30 of the skin. In the first part of the 31 , you are electronically connected to the machine and 32 a few neutral questions ("What is your name?" etc ). Your physical reactions serve 33 the standard forevaluating what comes 34 Then you are presented with a few 35 questions among the neutral ones ( "When did you rob the bank?" ). The idea is that if you are 36 , your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to 37 it. Your heart rate and breathing will change 38 as you respond to the questions.That is the theory, but psychologists have found that lie detectors are simply not 39 .Since most physical changes are the same across 40 emotions, lie detectors cannot tell 41 you are feeling angry, nervous or excited. 42 people may be tense and nervous 43 the whole procedure. They may react physiologically to a certain word (" bank") not because they robbed it, but because they recently used a bad check. In either 44 , the machine will record a "lie".On the other hand, some practiced liars can lie 45 hesitation, so the reverse mistake is also common.26.
