Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)

学习啦在线学习网Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

学习啦在线学习网When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.

学习啦在线学习网(76) For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn't sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can't make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.

If you look at children, you'll see great difference between what we call "bright" children and "not-bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him. (77) But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.

1. According to this passage, intelligence is __________.

学习啦在线学习网A. the ability to study well

学习啦在线学习网B. the ability to do well in school

B. is sure of the result he will get

C. concentrates on what to do about the situation

D. cares more about himself

3. If an intelligent person failed, he would__________.

A. try not to feel ashamed

学习啦在线学习网B. learn from his experiences

C. try to regret as much as possible

学习啦在线学习网D. make sure what result he would get

4. Bright children and not-bright children__________.

学习啦在线学习网A. are two different types of children

B. are different mainly in their degree of cleverness

C. have difference only in their way of thinking

D. have different knowledge about the world

5. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about __________.

学习啦在线学习网A. how to determine what intelligence is

B. how education should be found

学习啦在线学习网C. how to solve practical problems

D. how an unintelligent person should be taught

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Human needs seem endless. (78) When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat, when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.

学习啦在线学习网The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.

The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War I1, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.

By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. (79) While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is. the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.

On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?

A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

6. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when __________

A. he has saved up enough money

学习啦在线学习网B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter

C. he has satisfied his hunger

D. he has learned to build houses

7. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans __________.

A. were very rich

学习啦在线学习网B. lived in poverty

学习啦在线学习网C. had the good things on the first three levels

学习啦在线学习网D. did not own automobiles

8. Which of the following is NOT related to "physical satisfaction"?

学习啦在线学习网A. A successful career.

学习啦在线学习网B. A comfortable home.

学习啦在线学习网C. A good meal.

学习啦在线学习网D. A family car.

9. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?

A. The more goods the better.

B. The more mental satisfaction the better.

C. The more "luxury" items the better.

学习啦在线学习网D. The more earnings the better.

10. The author tends to think that the fifth level __________

学习啦在线学习网A. would be little better than the fourth level

B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four

学习啦在线学习网C. can be the last and most satisfying level

D. will become attainable before the government takes actions

Passage 3

学习啦在线学习网Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.

学习啦在线学习网It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.

学习啦在线学习网Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. (80) In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like "he went pale and begin to tremble" suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese "surprise" can be described in a phrase like 'they stretched out their tongues!' Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.

Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people's faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.

学习啦在线学习网11. According to the passage, __________.

A. we can hardly understand what people's gestures mean

B. we can not often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures

学习啦在线学习网C. words can be better understood by older people

学习啦在线学习网D. gestures can be understood by most of the people while words can not

12. People's facial expressions may be misunderstood because __________.

A. people of different ages may have different understanding

学习啦在线学习网B. people have different cultures

学习啦在线学习网C. people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different way

D. people of different countries speak different languages

13. In the same culture, __________.

A. people have different ability to understand and express feelings

B. people have the same understanding of something

C. people never fail to understand each other

学习啦在线学习网D. people are equally intelligent

学习啦在线学习网14. From this passage, we can conclude __________.

学习啦在线学习网A. words are used as frequently as gestures

B. words are often found difficult to understand

C. words and gestures are both used in expressing feelings

D. gestures are more efficiently used than words

15. The best title for this passage may be __________.

A. Words and Feelings

英语三级考试的技巧

一、听力答题技巧

备考长对话时,可参考以下几点技巧:

1. 长对话出题的顺序和文章的顺序一致,因此在听力开始前应当充分利用空隙时间迅速浏览四个选项,了解对话大意,做到有的放矢。

2. 和听力短文非常相似,长对话在文章开始时就点明文章大意,而且考题中也会考查文章的主题,因此考生在考试时应当集中注意力抓住主题。

学习啦在线学习网3. 点明主题后,随后的部分围绕这一主题展开,每个方面的论述类似短对话的问答形式,考试的重点往往落在回答中,因此考生如果能掌握短对话各种题型特点和应试技巧,那么对这类题目就会轻车熟路了。

学习啦在线学习网4. 长对话内容比较,题量也比较大,因此适当地做些笔记是非常有必要的。

二、阅读答题技巧

学习啦在线学习网1.先看题干,带着问题读文章

学习啦在线学习网应把短文后的所有题干都看到,掌握问题的类型,并且暂时不看选择项(除要求判断说法是否符合原文的题目外),以免受选择项干扰,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读。

学习啦在线学习网2.以题干需求、文章大意为目标,速读全文

学习啦在线学习网关注两点,一个是题干需求。另一个是文章大意。

学习啦在线学习网3.研究选项,逐题作答

学习啦在线学习网先前为了避免干扰没有看选项,现在我们4个选项都要看完,千万不要认为某个答案正确就匆忙做出决定,而不看其他选项。

4.深层理解题,比较各题

学习啦在线学习网答完题后,要进行复查,复查时可以先读短文后检验答案,也可以把答案与短文对照起来检查。
