【篇一：英语三级考试真题及答案】

ss=txt>part i reading comprehension (30%)

directions: there are three passages in this part. each

passage is followed by some questions or unfinished

statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a,

b, c and d. you should decide on the best choice and blacken

the corresponding letter on the answer e 1

questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

in the united states elementary education begins at the age of

six. at this stage nearly ail the teachers are women, mostly

married. (76) the atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the

teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing

is to make the children happy and interested. the old

authoritarian (

要绝对服从的

) methods of education were

discredited (

不被认可

) rather a long time ago - so much so that

many people now think that they have gone too far in the

direction of trying to make children happy and interested

rather than giving them actual instruction.

the social education of young children tries to make them

accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work

together for their common good. so the emphasis is on co-

operation rather than competition throughout most of this

process. this may seem curious, in view of the fact that

american society is highly competitive; however, the need for

making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded

as one of the functions of education. most americans do grow

up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as

criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system

fails. it probably does succeed in making most people sociable

and ready to help one another both in material ways and

through kindness and friendliness.

1. according to the passage, the u.s. elementary education is

supposed to make children__________.

a. sensible and sensitive b. competitive and interested

c. curious and friendlyd. happy and co-operative

2. some americans complain about elementary schools

because they think__________.

a. children are reluctant to help each other

b. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operation

c. children should grow up with competitive ideas

d. schools give little actual instruction to children

3. the authors attitude towards american education can be

best described as__________.

a. favorable b. negative

c. tolerant d. unfriendly

4. the american educational system emphasizes__________.

a. material wealth b. competition

c. co-operationd. personal benefit

5. the word sociable (line 8, paragraph 2) most probably

means__________.

a. fond of talking freely

b. friendly with other people

c. concerned about social welfare

d. happy at school

passage 2

questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

nonverbal (

非语言的

) communication has to do with gestures,

movements and closeness of two people when they are talking.

(77) the scientists say that those gestures, movements and so

on have meaning which words do not carry.

on the other hand, too long a gaze can make people

uncomfortable. the eyes apparently play a great part in

nonverbal communication. genuine warmth or interest,

shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. we do

not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness.

someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent

reasons, often makes us uneasy.

6. according to the passage, nonverbal

communication__________.

a. is a method often used by people who cannot speak

b. can tell something that words cannot

c. can be used to talk with people who cannot bear

d. is less used than words

a. tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he

is speaking to

b. usually stands close to the person he is talking to

c. is often unfriendly when spoken to

d. is often cold and distant when speaking

8. which of the following is not true?

a. less eye contact suggests distance in relation.

b. the longer one looks at you, the more interest he has in you.

c. there is more eye contact between people who like each

other.

d. shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is

talking about

9. too long a gaze__________.

a. may upset people being looked at

b. shows ones great confidence

c. indicates ones interest in the talk

d. tells you how friendly one is

10. constant smiling without apparent reason__________.

a. is a sign of ones friendliness

b. is a sign of ones unfriendliness

c. makes people feel happy

d. makes people feel uncomfortable

passage 3

questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

television has opened windows in everybodys life. young men

will never again go t

o war as they did in 1914. millions of people now have seen the

effects of a battle. and the result has been a general dislike of

war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer

from all the terrible things that have been shown on the sc-

teen.

television has also changed politics. the most distant areas

can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before

an election. better informed, people are more likely to vote, and

so to make their opinion count.

unfortunately, televisions influence has been extremely

harnfful to the young. (79) children do not have enough

experience to realize that tv shows present an ueal world; that

tv advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad

or useless. they believe that the violence they see is normal

and acceptable. all educators agree that the television

generations are more violent than their parents and

grandparents.

also, the young are less patient. (80) used to tv shows, where

everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the

patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that

requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesnt do funny

things like the people on childrens programs. and they expect

all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty

minutes. thats the time it takes on the screen.

11. in the past, many young people__________.

a. knew the effects of war

b. went in for politics

c. liked to save the wounded in wars

d. were willing to be soldiers

12. now with tv people can__________.

a. discus politics at an information center

b. show more interest in politics

c. make theft own decisions on political affairs

d. express their opinions freely

13. the author thinks that tv advertisements__________.

a. are not reliable on the whole

b. are useless to people

c. are a good guide to adults

d. are very harmful to the young

14. which is not true according to the passage?

a. people have become used to crimes now.

b. with a tv set some problems can be solved quickly.

c. people now like to read books with pictures.

d. the adults are less violent than the young.

15. from the passage, we can conclude that__________.

a. children should keep away from tv

b. tv programs should be improved

c. childrens books should have pictures

d. tv has a deep influence on the young
