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.

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 thepaper 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 dogdid 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 tooif 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 losthis wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down inthe 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 hadfound 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 seedeep 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 candidatesare 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 youcan 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 seebut 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 itretold 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 toshow 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 turnsthe 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 theyare 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 peculiarthat 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 fairytales 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 withthese 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 pointout ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout tooloudly 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 loveand 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:。

当被研究对象睡眠时,特殊的机器记录下他们的脑电波、眼球的运动及表示梦结束的身体的运动。
令人惊奇的是所有的被研究对象都睡得很熟。
观察人员发现人在做梦之前身体会不安地移动。
一旦梦开始了,身体会放松,眼部则开始活跃起来,就像帷幕已经拉开,演出即将开始。
当机器表明梦已结束时,蜂鸣器会叫醒睡眠者。
他会站起来,记录下他的梦,然后继续睡,或许会做更多的梦。
研究人员发现如果一个做梦的人在他的梦结束之后马上被叫醒,那么他一般能够回忆出整个的梦。

公共英语三级模拟试题及答案(3) DIn Cardiff I was put to work in furniture department at one of the local stores. It was large, fairly out of date, run ( 经营 ), like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives. Being only a memberof the store for a short time, I was in a very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older members of the store, were naturally asked to produce good sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I was pleased, but if I didn't, I would not be blamed. I was really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in making a position in the furniture business, I wasn't too diligent (勤奋) about that either.One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity (不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers (雇客). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he demanded that Igo to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he started dancing about among the carpets and closets working his arms wildly and calling on me to 'put them up'. I couldn't put anything up ---I was too busy rolling on afour-foot six - inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) , helpless with laughter. Finally he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members' store for a conciliatory(和解)cup of tea. Several days later, I finally left the store. Thank God!46. The furniture department was run by _____.A. the author's parentsB. the author's relativesC. some member of a big familyD. the local government47. The shop in Cardiff ______.A. was big and very modernB. was old but beautifulC. didn't sell furniture onlyD. was famous in London48. The author was lucky because ________.A. sales figures were not important for himB. he was younger than the othersC. he produced good sales figuresD. his pay was higher49. One salesman thought that ______ .A. the author was more of an observer than a real member of the storeB. what the author had said was far from the truthC. the author tried to get a person to buy the furniture dishonestlyD. the writer destroyed a four-foot six - inch spring mattress50.

The author felt light - hearted when he left the shop.C. The author was punished for stealing money from the customer.D. The author was asked to put up the carpets.EDriving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of our lives. We do it every day to get to work, to school or to friends' houses.Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If another car is coming from the other direction, there might be a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty soon everybody is angry, and impatient.Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in accidents every day. Theannual death rate (年死亡率) from traffic accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must follow the rules. Before you drive, learn all the traffic laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!51.The word " convenient " in the passage means ________ .A. handy, easy to doB. that can be changedC. fond of drinking and merry-makingD. carriages or other trucks52. If you cut another car off, its driver may be _______.A. impatientB. terribleC. angryD. both A and B53. The sentence " Traffic accidents declare millions of lives "means "_______".A.

Mark your answer on theANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and aslave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams wasat home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearlydefined 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 thegeneral 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 paperand the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a toothmark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he worea blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days ”,“late days ”or “nights ”. Overthe years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest,knew when his master would leave the house and return, andthe dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, ashe 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 theicy 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 thathe had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The housewas turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was notfound. However, two days later —that was five days after thefall —Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still containedfifty 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 intwo hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deepred.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades ofgreen. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference betweenblue 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 dangerousand candidates are tested most carefully. For example, whenfighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to eachother. A green light may mean “Advance ”and a red light maymean “Danger! Keep back! ”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in humanbeings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there aremillions of very small things called “cones ”, These help to seein a bright light and to tell the difference between colours.There are also millions of “rods ”but these are used for seeingwhen it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Waituntil it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you andtry 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. Asfar as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at allonly light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot seecolours 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 mothmay seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appearbeautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which insects cansee 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 allshades of green[D]very few may think that everything in the world is ingreen52. 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 cannotsee 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 invisibleto 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 shouldnot lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. Itis always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book,and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstancesof the time and the individual child, is an improvement on theprinted 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. Toprove 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 tofears, 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 fearinto 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; andthat, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the childshould be taught how to adapt to reality by studying historyand mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to arguewith them. If their case were sound, the world should be full ofmadmen 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 becausethey 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 ontheir own[D]is no longer needed in developing children's powerof 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 showthe primitive cruelty in children[B]fairy tales are harmful to children unless they havebeen 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 fairystory 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 imaginaryfigures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world.Part BDirections:Read the texts from an article in which five people talkedabout smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name ofeach person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) givenbelow. 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 peoplemight be passive smokers without realising it.RandyTobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like atax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the governmentof Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever socarefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shouttoo loudly about it.SampsonThe advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We arenever shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lingsearly in the morning. That would never do. The advertisementsalways depict handsome, clean shaven young men. Theysuggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smokingis 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 withone hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and onefforts 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 seemto 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'sso enjoyable and relaxing that it relieves stresses of every daylife. 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:。

Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.��Text 1��The 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 generalstore in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half�瞣unce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun�瞕og 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 andice 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 wasfive days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty�瞭hree 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. �お�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. �お�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�お�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 newspaper�お�50. 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 pockets��Text 2��About 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 seedeep 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 worldindeed.��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 whatwill 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 whichcontain 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�瞯iolet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X�瞨ays. 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 notlike 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 andgreen��[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 green�お�52. 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 only�お�53. 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 cones�お�54. 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 beings�お�55. Which of the following is not true about insects?��[A] Insects can see more colours than human beings.��[B] Insects can see ultra�瞯iolet 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 3��A 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 thechild 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�瞐uthenticatedcases 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�瞙eaded dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies infairy 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 byparents��[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 memory�お�57. 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 inchildren��[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 vividly�お�59. 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 greatly�お�60. 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 withexternal world. ��Part B��Directions: ��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. Hadley��If 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.Randy��Tobacco 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 beharmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it. Sampson��The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up theirlings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, clean�瞫haven 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!��Rowley��Of 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.Bernice��Smoking 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.��。

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:。

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:。

Over the years the rain had worn away the rocky mantle of the continents.Minerals released by this erosion had been carried to the sea by the flow of river water. This water added several million tons of salt to the ocean annually. There are other sources of oceanic salinity too. One source is under water volcanic action. This eruption occurs along the mid-ocean range and release great amount of salt each year. However these sources of salt don’t increase the actual mineral composition of water by much, because of the enormous chemical requirements of marine life. Oyster, clam, snails and other louse use salt to build shells and skeletons. Coral reefs also contains large amount of salts. Also some salt leave the ocean through the process of evaporation. As salt escape into the atmosphere, they go into the creation of rain drops. This is why the coast received more rain than land area. You see, more salt existence in the atmosphere near the ocean, thereby attracting increased moisture and producing rain.14.What is the topic of this talk?A.The salinity of the ocean.B.Pollutants found at sea.C.The composition of coral reefs.D.The weather patterns of coastal areas.正确答案:A15.What does the speaker say about the ocean’s level of saltiness?A.It is measured annually.B.It is highest at the ocean’s surface.C.It is increased over time.D.it is decreased over time.正确答案:C16.What’s one of the sources of oceanic salinity mentioned in the talk?A.Seaweed found in kelp(大海藻)beds.B.Industrial waste.C.Meteorties.D.Underwater volcanoes.正确答案:D17.According to the speaker, why does coastal area receive more rain than land regions?A.The ocean saturates the atmosphere with water.B.More salt particles are suspenede in the air over the coast.C.The dust from blowing sand causes moisture to condense.D.Lower coastal elevations attract predictable weather patterns.正确答案:B听力原文:W: Hello.M: Hello, Sam, This is Paula Handson.

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.

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:。
