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

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:。

全国英语等级考试全真模拟卷第三级(附光盘)全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1National English Test Level 3 - A Student's ViewWow, the National English Level Test Level 3! That sounds like a really big deal. I remember when my teacher first told our class about it. We had just finished our English lesson, and she said we would be taking this important test soon. A bunch of my classmates got really excited, but I was a little nervous. Tests can be scary, especially really important ones!My teacher could see some of us were worried, so she explained what the test was all about. She said it's a way for students like us to show how good our English skills are. The test has listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections to check all the different things we've learned in English class.The listening part sounded kind of fun. The teacher said we'd hear conversations and stories, then have to answer questions about them. In class, we always enjoyed the listening exercises, especially the funny dialogues. My best friend Lily and I would try to imitate the voices and make each other laugh.Then there's the reading section, which is about understanding passages. That doesn't sound too bad, since we read lots of stories and articles for homework anyway. Though I'm a little slower at reading than some of my classmates. I'll have to practice more.Writing is one part I'm kind of nervous about. We'll have to write a short essay on a topic they give us. Essays are hard! You have to organize all your thoughts and make sure your grammar and spelling are perfect. Miss Lee has been helping us practice timed writings though, so that should help.The speaking section might be the trickiest for me. We'll have to answer questions and describe pictures out loud. I sometimes stumble over words when I get nervous. But Miss Lee said the test instructors are really nice, so maybe that will help me relax. Plus, we've done lots of partner speaking activities to prepare.To get ready, Miss Lee had us do some practice test materials. They came with a CD too, so we could listen to the audio at home. The practice tests showed us what types of questions would be on the real test. There were multiple choice questions, fill in the blanks, and short answers. It was good practice, but some of the questions were pretty hard!A couple weeks before the test, my parents got me some other sample test books from the bookstore to work through. I spent a lot of time reviewing vocabulary, grammar points, and doing listening exercises with my headphones on. The more I practiced, the more confident I started to feel.Finally, the day of the big test came! A bunch of kids from other schools came to take it too. We all had to sit at desks spread out in the school auditorium. It was a little intimidating with so many people around. The nice test teachers passed out the test booklets and CDs, then explained very clearly how everything would work.The listening section was just as I expected - we heard conversations and stories through headphones, then had to answer comprehension questions. I missed a few, but I tried my best. The reading passages were interesting topics like animals and sports, which made them easier to understand. Phew, made it through those two sections!We took a short break before starting the writing section. I had a hard time coming up with ideas for my essay at first, but then I remembered the tips for brainstorming from class. Once I got my thoughts sorted out, the actual writing went pretty smoothly. Hopefully I organised it well enough!Then came speaking time. The teachers called students one-by-one into another room to do the speaking section. When it was my turn, I felt a little shaky but took a deep breath. The test teacher was so friendly and encouraging, which helped me relax a lot. We talked about some pictures, answered hypothetical questions, and did a role-play. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be.Phew, after the speaking part was done, the whole test was finally over! I felt so relieved, but also proud for giving it my all. It was tough, but our preparation in class with Miss Lee really paid off. I can't wait to get my results back and see how I did. Hopefully I score high enough to get that fancy certificate!I'd definitely recommend the National English Test Level 3 to other students. It's challenging for sure, but taking it was a great way to show off all the English I've learned so far. Plus, it helped me get much more confident at reading, writing, listening and speaking. Maybe I'll aim for Level 4 next year - gotta keep leveling up those English skills! If I can make it through that tough test, I'll be like a real pro. Just call me the English master!篇2My Big Day for the English Test!Hi there! My name is Emily and I'm a 5th grader. Today was a super important day because I took the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 exam! I've been studying really hard for months to get ready. My parents and teachers told me this test is a big deal and shows how good my English skills are. I was a little nervous, but also excited to show off what I've learned.The test had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. We started with the listening part first thing in the morning. The nice test proctor played audio clips from a CD and we had to mark our answers on a special bubble sheet. Some of the questions asked us to listen for specific details, while others wanted us to get the main idea. There were conversations between kids and adults as well as lectures on topics like animals and vacations. I tried my best to listen really carefully!After listening, we moved on to the reading section. This part had lots of different passages - stories, advertisements, instructions, and more. We had to read each one and then answer comprehension questions about things like the main idea, vocabulary in context, making inferences, and author's purpose. The passages covered all kinds of subjects that kids might be interested in like sports, science experiments, and school events. My favorite was the funny story about a boy and his pet frog!By the time the reading section was over, it was lunchtime. We got to go outside and run around for a bit to rest our brains. Some of my friends were feeling tired, but I had brought an energy bar that my mom packed to refuel. After our break, it was time to tackle the writing tasks.For the writing portion, we had two assignments. First, we had to read a short prompt about an everyday situation and write a response of 100-120 words giving our opinion and reasons. The prompt I got was about whether kids should have set bedtimes or be allowed to go to bed whenever they want. I wrote all about how a regular bedtime schedule helps kids get the sleep they need to stay healthy and do well at school.The second writing task was harder. We were given a topic and some guiding questions, and then had to write an essay of 200-250 words developing our ideas with examples and details. My topic was "An Activity I Enjoy," so I chose to write about my favorite hobby of playing soccer. I described the equipment and rules, explained why I like the teamwork and exercise, and gave an example of scoring an exciting goal during my last game. Organizing and developing an whole essay in English was definitely challenging, but I tried my best!Last but not least was the speaking section. One at a time, we went into a private room and spoke our responses into a recording device while the proctor gave us prompts from the test booklet. First, I had to describe a set of pictures that told a story, like making sure to hit all the key details in my narration. Then I had to listen to a prompt and give my opinion, using reasons and examples to back up what I said. Finally, I got a hypothetical situation and had to propose a solution, again supporting my ideas with clear explanations.Speaking in English without stopping to think too hard was probably the most nerve-wracking part! But I took a deep breath each time and just tried my best to respond naturally and completely. When I finally finished that last speaking task, I was so relieved and proud of myself for making it through such a long, challenging test.Overall, the whole experience of taking the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 was pretty intense! My brain definitely feels a little fried after concentrating so hard for hours. But I'm really glad I prepared as much as I did by practicing tests from previous years, working on skills with my English tutors, and staying after school for extra help. Thanks to all that hard work, Ifelt mostly confident going into each section, even if some parts were tougher than others.Now it's just a waiting game until I get my scores back in a couple months! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I did well enough to prove my English abilities and get that certificate. No matter what though, I know I grew a lot as an English learner just by taking on this big challenge. Tests may be stressful, but they help show how far you've come and what to work on next. I'm feeling inspired to keep practicing my English skills through reading, games, movies, and conversations with native speakers.Whew, what a big day! I'd better go rest up now. Tackling that huge exam honestly knocked me out. But I'm so proud of myself for persevering through all those listening, reading, writing, and speaking sections. Wish me luck on a great score! Labors Cantantas Forever! (That's "Go Songbirds!" in Latin, my school's motto.) Thanks for letting me share my testing experience!篇3National English Level Test Time!Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to tell you all about the National English Level Test that Ijust took. It's a really big deal test that lets you see how good your English is compared to other kids across the whole country. The version I took was the Third Level, which is the level for upper elementary students like me.First off, let me just say - PHEW! I'm so glad that test is over. It was pretty tough, not gonna lie. But I studied really hard, so I think I did ok. My mom signed me up for this special English class to get ready. We did tons of practice tests and learned all kinds of strategies. I may have gotten a little sick of English by the end, but it was worth it!Ok, so the test had four sections - Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. The Listening part had different recordings that we had to listen to very carefully and answer questions about. Some were conversations between people, while others were talks or instructions. I had to use those funny-looking headphones that go over your whole ear. That part wasn't too bad for me since I love listening to English songs, shows, and movies.Then there was the Reading section where we had different passages to read - stories, advertisements, tables, you name it! The questions asked things like what the main idea was, what certain details were, or what vocabulary words meant in context.I read a lottt during my studying, so that helped me get faster at reading in English.Writing is probably the hardest part for me. We had to write a letter and an essay responding to different prompts. It's just so much work putting all the grammar rules together while trying to make your writing flow nicely and get your point across clearly. I made sure to leave time at the end to check over my writing.Finally, there was the Speaking section which was pretty nerve-wracking if I'm being honest. You have to go one-by-one into a separate room with a recording device. The questions came through headphones and you had to speak your responses out loud to get recorded. Topics could be anything - describing a scene, stating an opinion, retelling a story. I tried to speak slowly and clearly like we practiced. Hopefully I didn't say anything too silly!The whole test took almost three hours from start to finish which felt like forever to my short student attention span. We did get a couple short breaks, thank goodness. I just tried to shake out my arms and legs when I could to stay focused. I also packed a healthy snack to nibble on during the breaks.After it was all over, I just felt relieved and proud of myself for pushing through. My teacher said she was already proud ofus all no matter what our scores end up being. She knows how hard we worked. Though I must admit, I am really hoping I did well enough to earn a certificate!The best part is, the test came with a CD full of learning games, videos, songs, you name it! I love playing the cool English games and watching the funny videos. It makes practicing English feel way more fun than just reading textbooks all the time. I really think using that CD helped prepare me.Some of my friends are hoping their scores qualify them to participate in an English summer camp where you go stay overnight and do all kinds of fun English activities. That would be so awesome! Even if I don't get to go this year, I'll just study harder for the next level test.Anyway, those are all my thoughts on this huge English test I just conquered. It was definitely challenging, but also kinda exciting getting to showcase my English skills after working so hard on them. I'm just relieved it's over for now so I can finally read my English novels for fun again instead of just studying! Fingers crossed I did well. Wish me luck!篇4The National English Test Adventure!Hey there, friends! It's me, your pal Timmy. I've got the most exciting story to share with you all today. Brace yourselves for an adventure that will take you through the thrilling world of the National English Proficiency Test!It all started one sunny morning when I arrived at school, my backpack stuffed with pencils, erasers, and a rumbling tummy (I may have skipped breakfast for an extra few minutes of video games). Mrs. Robinson, our awesome English teacher, greeted us with her usual warm smile and a surprise announcement."Class, today we'll be taking the National English Proficiency Test Simulation Paper Level 3!"A collective gasp filled the classroom. Some of my classmates looked puzzled, while others wore expressions of sheer determination. As for me, well, let's just say I was somewhere in between – a little nervous but mostly excited!Mrs. Robinson handed out the test booklets, and the adventure began. The first section was all about listening comprehension. We put on our headphones and tuned in to dialogues and stories, trying our best to answer the questions that followed. I gotta admit, some of those conversations were pretty tricky! But hey, that's half the fun, right?Next up was the reading section. We tackled passages about everything from science experiments to tales of brave explorers. I found myself completely immersed in the stories, like I was right there alongside the characters, navigating through their adventures.Then came the writing part. We had to put our creative juices to the test and pen a short story or essay. Now, I won't lie – this was the part that had me sweating a little. But with Mrs. Robinson's helpful tips and a deep breath, I let my imagination run wild!Finally, we tackled the speaking section. One by one, we stepped up to the microphone and unleashed our English speaking skills. Some of us chatted about our hobbies, while others described their favorite places or fictional characters. It was like we were putting on our own little theater performance!After what felt like an eternity (but was probably just a couple of hours), we handed in our test booklets, feeling a mix of relief and accomplishment. Mrs. Robinson congratulated us on our hard work and promised to go over the answers together in the next class.As I walked home that day, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Sure, the National English Proficiency Test was no walk inthe park, but we had taken it head-on and given it our best shot. And you know what? That's what really matters!So, there you have it, my dear friends – the tale of my first encounter with the National English Test. It was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, challenges, and triumphs. But most importantly, it was an adventure that brought our class together, pushing us to explore the depths of our English skills.Who knows what other linguistic quests await us in the future? But one thing's for sure – with determination, hard work, and a sprinkle of fun, we'll conquer them all! Stay tuned for more exciting tales from the English-learning trenches!篇5The Big English Test Adventure!Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm a fifth-grader. I just had the craziest experience with this huge English test called the National English Proficiency Test Level 3. Let me tell you all about my big adventure!It all started a few months ago when my English teacher Ms. Roberts told our class that we'd be taking this really important test. She said it would show how good our English skills were inlistening, reading, writing, and speaking. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty nervous at first. Tests can be super scary, especially really long ones!But Ms. Roberts helped us get ready by giving us lots of practice tests and activities from this big blue book called the "National English Proficiency Test Level 3 Simulation." It had ALL sorts of listening exercises, reading passages, writing prompts, and speaking questions, just like the real test. We did practice tests what felt like a million times!My favorite sections were the listening and reading parts. The listening had these fun conversations between kids and there were always silly jokes or stories that made me laugh. The reading passages were really interesting too - they had articles about animals, different countries, hobbies, you name it! I learned so many new words and facts.I definitely struggled more with the writing and speaking sections though. For the writing, we had to write letters, essays, and all sorts of paragraphs. Making sure I used proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation was hard. Speaking out loud was even harder for me because I'm pretty shy. But Ms. Roberts had us practice giving speeches and having conversations until I got more comfortable.Finally, test day arrived! I was pretty nervous waiting in line, clutching my pencil case and my lucky teddy bear. But when I sat down and got my test booklet, I told myself "You got this, Emma!" because I had practiced so much.The listening section went by super fast. The conversations and stories were just like the practice ones, so I didn't get too flustered. Same with the reading - I kept reminding myself to read carefully and double check if I was unsure of an answer.Writing was still hard, but I took my time and reread the questions over and over. I made sure to plan out my essays and letters first before writing them out. Ms. Roberts always said the brainstorming step was just as important as the writing part.When it was time for speaking, I did get a little sweaty! But I looked at the friendly test grader, took a deep breath, and just pretended I was talking to my stuffed animals at home. I stated my answers clearly and threw in some of those transition words and idioms we had practiced.After what felt like AGES, the test was finally over! I was so tired but really proud that I had given it my all. While I waited for my results, I worked on even more practice tests from the Simulation book and its CD of audio files. I wanted to be absolutely ready in case I needed to take any sections again.A few weeks later, the scores came in the mail. I had passed all four sections!! I was overjoyed and gave the biggest hug to Ms. Roberts and my parents. All that hard work and practice from the National English Proficiency Test Level 3 Simulation had really paid off. The test may have been hard, but it was also an awesome, rewarding experience!So to all my fellow test takers out there - study hard, practice tons, and don't be nervous! If you prepare well with materials like the Simulation tests, you'll do wonderfully. Just think of it as one big, exciting English adventure! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go celebrate with some ice cream. Testing is tough work!篇6Hi there! I'm Sam, a 5th grade student, and I want to tell you about this really cool English test I took recently called the National English Proficiency Test Level 3. It was kind of like a big exam, but it was actually really fun!First off, we had to buy this big book and CD to prepare for the test. The book was filled with all kinds of practice questions and exercises to get us ready. There were reading passages, grammar drills, listening exercises, and even speaking practice. We used the CD to listen to the audio parts at home. My favoritesections were the dialogues – they were like little stories of kids my age talking about everyday things like school, friends, and hobbies.When the test day arrived, I was a tiny bit nervous, but mostly excited! We had to go to a special testing center with lots of other students. First up was the listening section. We put on headphones and listened to conversations, stories, and instructions. Then we had to answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. It was kind of challenging having to listen so carefully, but also pretty engaging with all the different voices and situations.After listening, we moved right into the reading part. There were passages about topics like science, narratives, and school life. The passages weren't too long, but there were a bunch of questions following each one that really made you think deeply about whatyou read. You had to identify main ideas, make inferences, figure out vocabulary from context, and more. It was a good mental workout!Then came the grammar and writing sections. These involved things like filling in blanks, rewriting sentences, and short answer writing. I'm not gonna lie - the grammar questions were pretty tough! You really had to know your verb tenses,sentence structures, and the nitty gritty details. The writing prompts weren't too bad though. We had to write a paragraph or two about common topics like our hobbies and experiences.Last but not least was the speaking section. We wentone-by-one into a room and spoke into a recorder. The tasks included introducing ourselves, describing pictures, androle-playing conversations. It felt a little weird talking to a machine at first, but I tried to just imagine I was chatting with a friend and it went smoothly.After almost four hours of awesomely exhausting English skills, the test was finally over! A few weeks later, I received my score report and...I passed! I earned a nifty certificate too. While the exam wasn't easy, I actually had a great time putting my English abilities to the test in all areas like listening, reading, writing, speaking, and even my grammar ninja skills. It felt like such an accomplishment.To anyone thinking of taking this test, I'd say go for it! It's challenging for sure, but also an amazing way to practice and showcase your practical English communication skills. Just study hard with those practice materials, don't stress too much, and most importantly - have fun with the language. Who knows, youmight just earn an English level up like I did! Let me know if you have any other questions!。

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

Text Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers (地理学家) compare and contrast 26 places on the earth. But they also 27 beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 28 . The word geography 29 from two Greek words: ge，the Greek word for "earth" and graphein, 30 . means "to write". The English word geography means "to describe the earth". 31 geography books focus on a small area 32 a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 33 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another 34 to divide the study of 35 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 36 starts with human beings and 37 how human beings and their environment act 38 each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 39 branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be described 40 one who observes, records, and explains the 41 between places. If all places 42 alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however, 43 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 44 , is a point of view, a special way of 45 at places. 26.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark four answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets. Text I No one knows exactly how many disabled (残废的) people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile ( 可动的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people ' s attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts. 46. The first paragraph points out that _________. { A J it is possible to get an exact figure of the world ' s disabled people [ B ] there are many disabled people in the world [ C ] the number of disabled people in India is the greatest [ D ] India has not much more disabled people than Canada 47. The key word in Paragraph 4 is _________. [ A ] barriers [ B ] ignorance [C] disability [D] prejudice 48. The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means _________. [A] "is most important" [B] "is included" [C] "is considered" [D] "is numbered" 49. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? [A] There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK. [ B ] The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people. [ C ] Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older. [D] There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance. 50. It can be concluded from the passage that _____ __. [A] we should try our best to prevent disablement [ B] we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled [C] the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled [D] both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down -- Text 2 A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That' s the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish. The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the longheld belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the nuinber-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths oc- curring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence ( 发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces. For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish. At the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day with more men eating lean (瘦的) fish than fatty fish. During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol ( 胆固醇) levels.51. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? [A] The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease. [ B] Heart doctors won't call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day. [C] Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America. [D] There is a low incidence of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland. 52. The phrase "this relationship" (in Line 3, Para. 5) refers to the connection between _________ and the incidence of heart disease. [A] the amount offish eaten [B] regular fish-eating [ C ] the kind of fish eaten [ D ] people of different regions 53. The passage is mainly about _________. [ A ] the high incidence of heart disease in some countries [ B ] the effect of fish eating on people ' s health [ C] the changes in people' s diet [D] the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures 54. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States? [A] Because American people drink too much spirits. [B] Because there are a great number of fat people there. [ C ] The author does n ' t give a definite answer. [D] Because American people eat too much fatty fish. 55. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fifth according to the Dutch study? [A] 550,000. [B] 275,000. LC] 110,000. [D] 852. Text 3 Being assertive ( 过分自信) is being able to communicate with other people clearly. If you felt that you had expressed what was important to you and allowed the oilier person to respond in their own way then, regardless of the final outcome, you behaved assertively. It is important to rememberthat being assertive refers to a way of coping with confrontations ( 对抗)。

It wasn’t easy getti ng hired. But once you were there, I found, you were in.Globe jobs were for life-guaranteed until retirement. For 15 years I had prospered there—moving from an ordinary reporter to foreign correspondent and finally to senior editor. I would have a life- time of security if I stuck with it. Instead, I had made a decision to leave. I entered my boss’s of- r ice. Would he rage? I wondered. He had a famous temper. "Matt, we have to have a talk." I be.- ga n awkwardly. "I came to the Globe when I was twenty-four. Now I’ m forty. There’ s a lot I want t o do in life. I’m resigning. " "To another paper?" he asked. I reached into my coat pocket, but didn ’t say anything. I handed him a letter that explained everything. It said that I was leaving to. start a new media company. We were at a rare turning point in history. I wanted to be directly en-gaged i n the change. "I’ m glad for you," he said, quite out of my expectation. "I just came froma board of directors meeting and it was seventy-five percent discouraging news. Some of that we c an deal with. But much of it we can’ t," he went on. "I wish you all the luck in the world," he con- cluded. "And if it doesn’ t work out, remember, your star is always high here. "Then I went out of his office, walking through the newsroom for more good-byes. Everybody was saying congratulations. Everybody--even though I’ d be risking all on an unfamiliar venture: all th e 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 turn ed the Globe into a billion-dollar property. "I’ m resigning, Bill," I said. He listened while I gave h im the story. He wasn’t looking angry or dismayed either. After a pause, he said, "Golly, I wish I w ere in your shoes. "46. From the passage we know that the Globe is a famous[ A ] newspaper[ B ] magazine[ C ] temple[ D ] church47.

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 major 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 missednothing. She had been watching my progress closely. 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 staff[ B ] the interest it pays to the bank[ C ] the way in which it raises capital[ D ] the speed at which it spends money47. By "Angel money", the author refers to__________.[ A ] the money borrowed from banks[ B ] the money spent to promote sales[ C ] the money raised from close friends[ D ] the money needed to start a business48. To get help from a venture-capital company, you may have to__________.[ A ] put up with unfair terms[ B ] change your business line[ C ] enlarge your business scope[ D ] let them operate your business49. The author easily built a team for his company because__________.[ A ] they were underpaid at theirprevious jobs[ B ] they were turned down by other companies[ C ] they were confident of the author and his business[ D ] they were satisfied with the salaries in his company50. Louise decided to lend money to the author because__________.[ A ] she wanted to join his company[ B ] she knew he would build a team[ C ] she knew his plan would succeed[ D ] 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 theaverage 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 youfind 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 use when 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 speed[ B ]is. not used in most, speed reading courses[ C ] is used as .an aid to vocabulary learning[ D ] 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 faster[ B ] is not the same as pacing[ C ] may seem unworkable at first[ D ] helps you to remember your page number53. When you are reading a novel, you should check your understanding of the content after_______.[ A ] every chapter[ B ] every section[ C ] every four or five pages[ D ] every ten or twelve pages54. The purpose of the “lightningspeed” exercise is to_________.[ A ] increase your speed by scanning the text first[ B ] test your maximum reading speed[ C ] help you understand more of the content of the book[ D ] enable you to win reading races against your friends55. The best title for this passage wouldbe_________.[ A ] Hints for Successful Reading[ B ] Hints for Speed Reading[ C ] Effective Reading[ D ] Lightning Speed ExercisesText 3There 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 acrosscultures. 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 suche-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 roles57. Which of the following is true of wome n’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 performance59. 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 objectivelyPart BDirections: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 ofthe 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 that makes 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 thanprivate 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, acombination 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.Statements61. Jackson [ A ] City trains and buses have different faults to overcome.62. Browning [ B ] The efficiency of the city train depends on the size of population.63. Jeffrey [ C ] Public transportation is usually more energy-efficient.64. Vandenberg [ D ] Private cars usually run at full capacity.65. Nathan [ E ] No fuel energy is fully used.[ F ] A combined means of transportcan help increase energy efficiency.[ G ] Problems of energy loss can never be completely solved.SECTION IV Writing(40 minutes)Directions:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A66. You have read the job advertisement below in a newspaper and you want to apply for the job. Write a letter of application to the manager of the company, Mr. Meed, giving all the necessary personal information. You should write approximately 100 words.Do not sign your own name at the end of your le tter. Use “Wang Lin” instead. You do not need to write the address.Part B67. Here is a picture of a traffic accident caused by a man crossing the street in a hurry.Write an essay of approximately 120 words describing the accident and giving your comment on it.THIS IS THE END OF THE TEST.第一部分听力1～25略第二部分英语知识运用参考译文结婚二十多年后，一个丈夫可能依然不能理解她的妻子. 她怎么能从来不会语塞呢?她是如何记得数年前度假时遇到的夫妻的名字的?现在我们知道该怎么告诉她了：那是因为她的大脑.尽管情绪和行为上的差异明显有文化上的原因，但最近有一项重大突破性的研究表明男女间令人迷惑的差异可能源于大脑. 男性和女性的大脑大部分都一样，可是她们大脑的大小、结构和观察力绝对不一样.大致上说，女人的大脑，就像她们的身体一样，比男人的大脑小10％-15％．因此她们大脑里用于语言的区域里脑细胞要比男人的密集.女孩子一般说话比较早，读书比较快. 原因可能在于女性在阅读的时候左右脑都用上了. 相反，男人在阅读的时候只用左脑.在任何年龄女人的记忆力都比男人好. 她们将名字与人物对应起来的能力比男人强，而且她们记清单的能力也比男人强. 人们所记的最清楚的事件是与情感联系在一起的. 因为女人用产生情绪的右脑比男人用的多，因此她们会自动记忆。

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

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

Mark four answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text INo one knows exactly how many disabled (残废的) people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile ( 可动的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visitfriends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.46. The first paragraph points out that _________.{ A J it is possible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people[ B ] there are many disabled people in the world[ C ] the number of disabled people in India is the greatest[ D ] India has not much more disabled people than Canada47. The key word in Paragraph 4 is _________.[ A ] barriers [ B ] ignorance[C] disability [D] prejudice48. The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means _________.[A] "is most important" [B] "is included"[C] "is considered" [D] "is numbered"49. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?[A] There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.[ B ] The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.[ C ] Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.[D] There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.50. It can be concluded from the passage that _____ __.[A] we should try our best to prevent disablement[ B] we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled[C] the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled[D] both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down ——转贴于：考试大_PETS 考试Text 2A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the longheld belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the nuinber-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths oc- curring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence ( 发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day with more men eating lean (瘦的) fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol ( 胆固醇) levels.51. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?[A] The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.[ B] Heart doctors won't call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.[C] Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America.[D] There is a low incidence of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.52. The phrase "this relationship" (in Line 3, Para. 5) refers to the connection between_________ and the incidence of heart disease.[A] the amount offish eaten [B] regular fish-eating[ C ] the kind of fish eaten [ D ] people of different regions53. The passage is mainly about _________.[ A ] the high incidence of heart disease in some countries[ B ] the effect of fish eating on people's health[ C] the changes in people's diet[D] the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures54. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States?[A] Because American people drink too much spirits.[B] Because there are a great number of fat people there.[ C ] The author does n't give a definite answer.[D] Because American people eat too much fatty fish.55. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fifth according to the Dutch study?[A] 550,000. [B] 275,000.LC] 110,000. [D] 852.。

英语等级考试《PETS三级》模拟试题卷一[问答题]1.Task: Identifying oneself; identifyin（江南博哥）gthings/people; passing on information.Interlocutor:Good morning (afternoon).My name is...and this is mycolleague He / She is just going to be listening to us.And your names are.., and...?Would you tell me your candidate numbers so I can check them, please? Thank you.(Hand over the mark sheets to the assessor)First of all we’d like to know something about you, Candidate A, so I’m going to ask you some questions.参考答案：【参考范例】（I=Interlocutor, A= Candidate A, B= Candidate B）I: Are you interested in traveling? Why?A: Yes, I’m.Both domestic and foreign travel can give me opportunities to broaden my prospective.I: Have you traveled a lot? Where did you like most among the places you had ever been to?A: Yes, I traveled a lot.Singapore was the place I like most.I: What was your first impression of Singapore?A: It’s indeed a good place! The trees are everywhere.The sky is very bright and the streets are very clean.It looks like a beautiful garden.I: How did you go there? In your opinion, which is the best way to travel? Why?A: By air, because air travel is my favorite.I think it is very fast, enjoyable and it seems the world is becoming a smaller place to live in.I: Thank you.Now, we’d like to know something about you, Candidate B, so I’m going to ask you some questions.I: Where would you like to travel most?A: Tibet, the mysterious place in snow area.I: What do you think of Tibet?B: Although I’ve never been there, I still think it’s a beautiful place.Untouched natural scenery, flocks of sheep and oxen, clear sky etc.All attract me very much.I: What will you prepare for your travel?B: I will take an atlas, some food and drink, some medicine, necessary tools and enough money.I: How are you going if you can travel to Tibet?B: I’m going there by air.It will save much time and I like flying.[问答题]2.Interlocutor: Now I’d like you to talk about something for 3 minutes.I’m just going to listen.I’d like you to discuss the ways of keeping in talk each other.[Place picture sheet (includingpictures of different ways: 1.writing 2.telephoning) in front of candidates]Talk to each other about it.It is not necessary to agree with each other.You have only 3 minutes for this.参考答案：A: I think the most common means of communication is the telephone.It is said that nowadays more than 80% of households in the city own at least one telephone, through which people can easily talk to each other.Another common way people exchange information is traditionally by letters, which is used most often by those two live in the countryside where phones are not available yet.With the popularity of computers, more and more people now start to send e-mails to each other, but not everyone can afford to buy a computer.B: As far as I know, communication by telephone will not take the place of postal communication.There are several reasons forthis.First of all, telephones are still not available in many rural or mountainous areas.The only ways for them to communicate with the outside world is by means of writing and receiving letters.Second, some people write letters in order to save money, especially when they want to avoid long distance calls.Candidate A: As far as my classmates are concerned, most students write letters to communicate.If you just take a look at the school post office, you can see lots of students standing in a long line for stamps.[问答题]3.Interlocutor: Now, I’d like each of you to talk on your own for about 2 minutes.I’m going to give each of you a different picture and I’d like you to talk about it.Candidate A, here is yourpicture (two bowls cashed violently).Please let Candidate B have a look at it.(Hand over the picture to Candidate A) Candidate B, I’ll give you your picture in a minute.Candidate A, I’d like you to describe the picture and tell us what you think about thepicture.Remember you have only 2 minutes for this.参考答案：A: The picture presents a very interesting scene, with a clear cracking sound, two howls clash “violently”.While the shining one on the left keeps its integrity, the shabby one on the right breaks into pieces.It follows that the intact bowl, as a symbol of goods of high quality, overwhelms the broken bowl representing the goods of low quality.Therefore, it’s not difficult to induce that quality provides the best guarantee for the survival and prosperity of a commodity.As everyone knows, quality is the lifeline of a product.Amid the fierce marketing competition, goods of high quality are bound to defeat fake and inferior products by their outstanding function, durability and friendly services.In this sense, the market is dominated by good-quality products.Besides, these products are easier to be accepted by the majority of customers who will probably cling to them most of the time.On the other hand, low-quality products will finally be pushed out of markets with shame and loss.Even though manufacturers may gain some profits occasionally and temporarily, inferior products are destined to tend up with failure.People may be cheated into buying poor-quality goods once; however, they will eventually obtain quality commodities and discard junk ones.Interlocutor: Thank you.(Retrieve picture.) Candidate B, is there anything else you would like to say about the picture?B: As a saying goes, “real gold can be tested by fire”, high-quality goods can win over poor-quality products in the market and thus establish their true brand and value in the marketing process. [问答题]4.Interlocutor: Candidate B, here is your card (a sorrowful pig).Please let Candidate A have a look at it.(Hand over the picture to Candidate B).I’d like you to describe the picture and tell us howyou feel about the phenomenon.Remember you have 2 minutes for this.参考答案：B: In the cartoon, a pig is filled with sorrow because he cannot understand the fact why the pigs’ skin is used to make E’jiao (a kind of aliment), which should be made from the oxen’s skin.From this cartoon, the artist intends to criticize the flood of fake products.At present, fake products are very common in our market.Take my experience as an example.Three weeks ago, I bought a pair of shoes with a so-called famous brand, which cost me 150 yuan.The shop owner guaranteed that his shoes would last for years, but now they are completely broken.Why are there so many fake products? Some dishonest manufactures want to make huge and easy profits from fake products, regardless of the bad effects on the consumers.Secondly, there are no strict laws against fake products, and the manufacturers cannot be punished effectively.Fake products have become a serious issue.It does not only spoil the benefits of the consumers, but also does great harm to our market economy.Interlocutor: Thank you.(Retrieve picture.) Candidate A, is there anything else you would like to say about the picture?A: In my opinion, we should put the whole process of production under good supervision.In addition, strict laws must be made to prevent fake products and to punish those who manufacture them.Interlocutor: Thank you.That is the end of the test.。

Geographers (地理学家) compare and contrast 26 places on the earth. But they also 27 beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 28 . The word geography 29 from two Greek words: ge，the Greek word for "earth" and graphein, 30 . means "to write". The English word geography means "to describe the earth". 31 geography books focus on a small area 32 a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 33 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another 34 to divide the study of 35 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 36 starts with human beings and 37 how human beings and their environment act 38 each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 39 branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be described 40 one who observes, records, and explains the 41 between places. If all places 42 alike, there would be little need for geographers.We know, however, 43 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 44 , is apoint of view, a special way of 45 at places.26.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark four answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text INo one knows exactly how many disabled (残废的) people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile ( 可动的) , hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people ' s attitude towards them.Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.46. The first paragraph points out that _________.{ A J it is possible to get an exact figure of the world ' s disabled people[ B ] there are many disabled people in the world[ C ] the number of disabled people in India is the greatest[ D ] India has not much more disabled people than Canada47. The key word in Paragraph 4 is _________.[ A ] barriers [ B ] ignorance[C] disability [D] prejudice48. The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means _________.[A] "is most important" [B] "is included"[C] "is considered" [D] "is numbered"49. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?[A] There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.[ B ] The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.[ C ] Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.[D] There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.50. It can be concluded from the passage that _____ __.[A] we should try our best to prevent disablement[ B] we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled[C] the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled[D] both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down --Text 2A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That' s the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the longheld belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the nuinber-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths oc- curring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence ( 发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day with more men eating lean (瘦的) fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol ( 胆固醇) levels.51. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?[A] The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.[ B] Heart doctors won't call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day.[C] Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America.[D] There is a low incidence of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.52. The phrase "this relationship" (in Line 3, Para. 5) refers to the connection between_________ and the incidence of heart disease.[A] the amount offish eaten [B] regular fish-eating[ C ] the kind of fish eaten [ D ] people of different regions53. The passage is mainly about _________.[ A ] the high incidence of heart disease in some countries[ B ] the effect of fish eating on people ' s health[ C] the changes in people' s diet[D] the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures54. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States?[A] Because American people drink too much spirits.[B] Because there are a great number of fat people there.[ C ] The author does n ' t give a definite answer.[D] Because American people eat too much fatty fish.55. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fifth according to the Dutch study?[A] 550,000. [B] 275,000.LC] 110,000. [D] 852.Text 3Being assertive ( 过分自信) is being able to communicate with other people clearly. If you felt that you had expressed what was important to you and allowed the oilier person to respond in their own way then, regardless of the final outcome, you behaved assertively. It is important to remember that being assertive refers to a way of coping with confrontations ( 对抗)。

The 28 student is considered to be 29 who is motivated to learn for the sake of 30, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 31 brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is 32 for learning the material assigned. When research is 33, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with 34 guidance. It is the 35 responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain 36 a university library works; they expect students, 37 graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference 38 in the library.

Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities.When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots”and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a half ounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gun dog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days”or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fifty three pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather.46. How did the dog perform his duties?［A］He was delighted to show them off.［B］He did his best but was not often successful.［C］He did them quickly to get them over.［D］He had few opportunities to do them.47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?［A］They are the fastest runners of all dogs.［B］Their teeth are removed when they are young.［C］They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them.［D］They breed well, producing many young dogs.48. As a result of Williams' work .［A］he did not get enough sleep［B］there was an oily smell from his clothes［C］the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train［D］the dog was confused about the time of the day49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .［A］Williams had to go to work at night［B］the dog made too much noise in the house［C］Williams made them all get up early［D］the dog would not let them see the newspaper50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .［A］he trusted the dog to find the wallet［B］he was unconscious all that time［C］he thought the wallet was in the house［D］he had no occasion to feel in his pocketsText 2About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed.In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance”and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods”but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize.Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or nocones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can.Insects can see ultra violet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X rays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see.

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:。
