Now scientists are racing to ensure that the rest survive. Even if global warning were to right now; scientists predict that more than 90% of corals will die by 2050. If no major steps are taken to address the problem; the reefs may be headed for total extinction灭绝.78 The planet’s health depends on the survival of coral reefs. They described as “the rain forests of the sea"; because they provide shelter for a wide variety of sea life. In addition; the reefs serve as barriers that protect coastlines from the full force of powerful storms.Coral are used in medical research for cures to diseases. They are key to local economies as well; since the reefs attract tourists; the fishing industry; and other businesses; bringing in billions of dolllars.79Corals are particular sensitive to changes in temperature. A rise of just 1 to 2 degrees can force the corals to drive out the algae水藻. Then the corals turn white in a process called “bleaching”. Corals can recover from short-term bleaching; but long-term bleaching can cause permanent damage. In 1998; when sea surface temperatures were the highestin recorded history; coral reefs around the world suffered the most severe bleaching. It is estimated that even under the best of conditions; many of these coral reefs will need decades to recover.Although reefs face other threats from pollution; industrial activities; and overfishing; it is global climate change that most concerns scientists.

But nowhere in history have students banned禁止bottled water. Until nowThe bottled water ban; which Parted on just a few campuses; has now spread nationwide to more than 20 universities. The colleges have cither completely banned the use of plastic bottles altogether; or some have taken a more limited approach with partial bans.Many people believe that producing and bottled water wastes money and harms the environment. They say that bottled water is unnecessary because public water supplies in the U.S. arc among the best in the world. Water fountains and reusable bottles with easy access获取to filling stations are a better choice.An organization called Ban the Bottle raises awareness about the economic and environmental costs of using plastic bottles. The group claims that eight glasses of water a day costs each person 49 cents annually; while drinking from plastic containers costs $I;400 per year. Plastic bottles contain antimony—a chemical that in low doses causesdepression; but in large doses can even lead to death.The controversy over bottled or tap is not limited to the students and college administrations. The makers of bottled water see the movement as a threat. 80 They argue that plastic bottles make UP a small portion of the nation’s total waste.

2014年11月北京地区成人英语三级考试真题和答案解析Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jarden Zinc Products, a large zinc plant a few miles outside Greeneville, Tennessee, has a special claim. Since 1982, it has been the only supplier of penny blanks for the U.S. Mint (铸币厂). It's a good business for Jarden-since 2000, the company has earned more than $ 800 million. But it may not be a good deal for the U.S.(76) The value of the penny has been dropping for years. In 2006, it began to cost more than a penny to make a penny. It now costs 2 C to produce a 1 C coin. Many countries have stopped using pennies. Is it time for the U.S. to do the same? Jarden and the zinc industry are fighting to keep the penny. Since 2006, Jarden has given $1.2 million to Americans for Common Cents (ACC). The group's mission is to keep the penny in use. Mark Weller is ACC's executive director. He argues that there are three main reasons for keeping the penny: Without it, we would become more reliant on the five-cent coin, which also has problems; charities（慈善机构）that depend on penny drives would not be able to raise as much money; and a 2012 survey shows that 67% of Americans want to keep the penny. (77) Many people surveyed said they feared they would end up paying more for products.Many experts disagree with ACC, They point to the dozens of countries that have gotten rid of their lowest-value coins without raising prices for consumers. And charities don't seem too concerned either.President Barack Obama says the mint could explore using cheaper metals to make pennies. Steel is less expensive than zinc. Pennies are 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper. But no matter what it is made of, the penny's days may be numbered. Most in-store purchases are now made with credit cards, not cash. Is it time for a change?1. what is the main idea of the passage?A.Many countries are trying to reduce the cost of making coins.B.These days a penny made is a penny wasted.C.There is disagreement over whether the U.S. should stop using pennies.D.Many countries have stopped using pennies.2. The mission of ACC is to ______.A. conduct online surveysB.lower the production costs of the pennyC. raise money for charitiesD.keep the penny in use3. The penny coin is mainly made of _____.A. copperB. steelC. ironD. zinc4. What does the sentence "the penny's days may be numbered" in the last paragraph probably mean?A.The penny may be out of use very soon.B.The value of the penny may rise.C.The penny has a special place in American history.D.The penny is part of American culture.5. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A.Jarden is the sole supplier of the zinc the U.S. Mint uses to make the penny.B. The majority of American people are in favor of keeping the penny.C. Many Americans fear that getting rid of the penny would cause prices to rise.D. The U.S. Mint now spends 2.4 cents to make a penny.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Charles Dickens was born in 1812 in Portsmouth, England. He was the second of eight children. His father always had problems with money. When Charles was 12 years old, his father went to prison because he was in debt. Charles had to leave school to help his family. He got a job in a dirty, old factory. Charles Dickens never forgot his difficult childhood. Many of his stories and books were about poor people and their problems.(78)Later, Charles went back to school for two more years. He left school when he was 15 years old to become a newspaper reporter. In 1836, he began to write The Pickwick Papers. It was published as a series and was a huge success. By age 24, Dickens was a prominent writer in both Great Britain and the United States.Many people bought his books, but they also paid to hear him read his stories aloud. Because there was no radio or television, people liked to hear famous writers read in public. Dickens read his works like he was acting in a play. He went on very successful reading tours and earned a lot of money.Dickens was meticulous (过分注意琐事的）. Everything had to be just right. When he worked at home, everything had to be in its place. He worked at a desk by a window that always had a vase (花瓶) of flowers and the same ornaments (装饰物) on it. (79)He wrote 2, 000 words a day and he required complete quiet while he wrote. He divided his page into three parts, and on each side he had notes in difficult colors. The main writing was in middle, the story notes were in the right margin, and the chapter notes were in the left margin.He also cared a lot about his appearance.6.

The electronic waster (e-waste) from this constantly growing field is polluting the environment, both here and abroad.Computers contain toxic (有毒的) materials such as lead. Despite the danger of throwing these hazardous materials in a landfill (垃圾填埋场), that's exactly where tons of computers end up. Americans reuse or recycle only about 10 percent of the 50 million computers they replace each year, according to ABC News. Eighty percent is being stockpiled (囤积), which could create even bigger problems in the future, and the remaining 10 percent is landfilled. Throwing e-waste in landfills creates a potential for landfills are tougher in the United States than in many other countries, e-waste is often exported, especially to some developing countries.(80)Some countries are creating policies to deal with the growing e-waste problem. In the Netherlands, you can bring your old computer to the seller when buying a new one, and the seller must by law accept it free of charge. Japan passed a law in 2001 requiring producers to recycle certain parts.In the united states, a movement called the Computer TakeBack Campaign is demanding that producers take more responsibility for disposing of (处理) old computers, California and Massachusetts recently prohibited certain computer parts in landfills, while Apple and IBM take back computers for about a $30 fee. Gateway is one step ahead: They will pay you $50 for recycling your old computer when you buy a new one from them. Lastly, many nonprofit programs accept used equipment, and services have popped up that distribute old computers to schools and other organizations.11.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter that indicates your choice.Passage OneImpatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past. (第11 题)Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. ( 第12 题) They suggest that “digital technology, from cellphones to emails to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives.” Psycholog ist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly,efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn’t happen, we tend to become increasingly frust rated and unsatisfied.”Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. (第13 题) Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities (客套）to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instantmessaging. Many people do not take the time to proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical and spelling errors. (第14 题)The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the digital communications.People seem to be losing their ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast, driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a traffic light to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.11. According to the first paragraph, people ____.A. have been patient for a long timeB. were more patient in the pastC. used to be patient while stuck in trafficD. used to be patient while waiting in line12. Nowadays people lose their patience because ____.A. their desire for satisfaction has increasedB. they are bored with what they haveC. their life has been changed by technologyD. they have more things to do than before13. Some believe that e-mail could soon become outdated because ____.A. it takes a long time to start the computerB. people value formalities between friendsC. cellphones are more popular nowadaysD. people can hardly wait for a response14. The pursuit of instant results causes people to ____.A. have more errors in their writingsB. become more impoliteC. use voice messages instead of emailsD. lose many of their abilities in life15. The best title for the passage might be“____”A. Are We Less Patient Today?B. What Are the Problems Caused by Impatience?C. What Happened to Technology?D. Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives?BCDAAPassage TwoKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she hadtwo normal legs. Scout, 18, answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren't for the missing leg, I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have today!” (第16 题)Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says. “But my doctor said, ‘You have to start somewhere.’” (第17 题)Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said, “I’ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips.” Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项）in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager’s life. She lost that first race,but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story 3with school groups. (第19 题)“Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren’t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind—maybe with family, or homework, or friends. No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says, “Everything you need is inside your heart. (第20 题) Take small steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger andyou will reach your dream.”16. Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?A. She’s scared of changing her current situation.B. She couldn’t have them even if she wanted to.C. She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disa bled.D. She has never thought about it before.17. What does the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere” (Para. 2) ?A. She has to find the right place to start.B. She has to do it sooner or later.C. That will be a memorable first time.D. That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout’s childhood experiences ____.A. were the cause of her shynessB. were a nightmare until she reached 14C. didn’t have much influence on her later lifeD. didn’t stop her from fulfilling herself19. Which of the following statements is true?A. Sarah shared her story with school students.B. Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C. Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.D. Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.20. Thr ough Scout’s story, the author wants to tell us that ____.A. inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesB. the disabled are mentally stronger than othersC. good things will come no matter whatD. everybody has to challenge himselfCBDDAPassage ThreeIt was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That man’s cold, Daddy. Can we t ake him home?” (第21 题)I don’t remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty. She wasn’t even four. (第22 题)A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered4meals to elderly people. ( 第23 题)The volunteers went to a nearby school on aSunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we’d been assigned. She invited us right over.The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showed us some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that’s good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I h elped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman’s alone—it was in our lives, too. Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve watched her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more? (第24 题)21. The man Nora noticed on that evening was probably ____.A. one of those homelessB. asking for foodC. taken home by the authorD. buying a newspaper22. The author had a sudden heavy feeling (Para. 2), because ____.A. he did not want to take the guy homeB. his daughter had noticed the dark side of lifeC. he felt a deep sympathy for the guyD. his daughter was afraid of what she saw23. Their volunteer job was to ____.A. visit poor homesB. serve meals at a nearby schoolC. deliver food to needy, elderly peopleD. pick up packages for poor, elderly people24. The word “us” in the last paragraph refers to ____.A. the author and the old womanB. the giver and receiver of the helpC. the author and the guy in the boxD. the author and his daughter25. The best title for this passage might be “____”A. A Loving KidB. Volunteers at WorkC. How to Help the NeedyD. A Lesson in CaringABCDD5Passage FourScientists measured the impact that people have on the environment using a termcalled carbon “footprint.” That footprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted(排放) into the atmosphere as a result of someone’s daily activities. (第26 题)Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwellers(城镇居民). Living in a suburb outside a city，however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint. (第27 题) Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zip code across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the researchers found. “It is much easier to have a low carbon impact if your home is close to where you work, shop and play,” explains Jones. Living within walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars. (第28 题) And cities with extensive bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases of climate-altering greenhouse gases low.Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped up around major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs may offer better schools for a family’s kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where their owners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances.The new findings are an important contribution to climate research, says Matthew Kahn, (第29 题) an environmental economist at the University of California, who wasnot involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysis applied to other parts of the world—Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel for how culture might mix with location to influence our carbon footprints.26. “Footprint” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by ____.A. an individualB. an industryC. a regionD. a country27. What is the new finding concerning the footprints of people living in cities and those living in suburbs?A. The two are not at all comparable.B. The former are higher than the latter.C. The former are similar to the latter,D. The latter are higher than the former.28. What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new findings?A. Spending habits.B. Distance travelled by cars.C. Size of families.D. Attitude towards energy saving.29. What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings?A. He thinks highly of them.67B. He is confused by the mixed messages.C. He can easily understand them.D. He doubts their validity.30. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To call on people to reduce carbon footprints.B. To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life.C. To introduce the research on carbon footprints.D. To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission.ADBACPart IIIVocabulary and Structure (10 points)Directions：There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.
