2013年成人英语三级模拟试题

Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or seriously injured each year. At the speed of only 30 miles per hour it is the same as falling from a third-floor windows. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.

Therefore drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to £50. it will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver?s responsibility to make sure that children under 14 do not ride in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.

However, you do not have to wear a seat belt if you reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make sure these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear you seat belt.(76) Remember you may be taken to court for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.

1. This text is taken from ________.

C) a legal document D) a government information booklet(D)

2. Wearing a seat belt in a vehicle ________.

A) reduces road accidents by more than half

B) saves lives while driving at a speed up to 30 miles per hour

3. It is the driver?s responsibility to ________.

A) make the front seat passenger wear a seat belt

B) make the front seat children under 14 wear a seat belt

C) stop children riding in the front seat D) wear a seat belt each time he drives

4. According to the text, which of the following people riding in the front dos not have to wear a seat belt?

A) Someone who is backing into a parking space.

B) Someone who is picking up the children from the local school.

C) Someone who is delivering invitation letters.

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

The human brain contains 10 thousand million cells and each of these may have a thousand connections. (77)Such enormous numbers used to discourage us and cause us to dismiss the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a pace we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as complex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (软件) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen.

(78)I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon?s long control. And we will no longer be able to claim ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the known universe.

As the intelligence of robots increases to match that of humans and as their cost declines through economies of scale we may use them to expand our frontiers, first on earth through their ability to withstand environments, harmful to ourselves. Thus, deserts may bloom and the ocean beds be mined. Further ahead, by a combination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the

technology it will provide, the construction of a vast, man-created world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.

6. In what way can we make a machine intelligent?

A) By making it work in such environments as deserts, oceans or space.

B) By working hard for 10 or 20 years.

C) By either properly programming it or changing its structure.

D) By reproducing it.(C)

7. What does the writer think about machines with human-like ability?

A) He believes they will be useful to human beings.

B) He believes that they will control us in the future.

C) He is not quite sure in what way they may influence us.

D) He doesn?t consider the construction o f such machines possible.(A)

8. The word “carbon” (Line 4, Para. 2) stands for ________.

A) intelligent robots B) a chemical element C) an organic substance D) human beings(D)

9. A robot can be used to expand our frontiers when ________.

A) its intelligence and cost are beyond question

B) it is able to bear the rough environment

C) it is made as complex as the human brain

D) its architecture is different from that of the present ones(A)

10. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A) after the installation of a great number of cells and connections, robots will be capable of self-reproduction

B) with the rapid development of technology, people have come to realize the possibility of making a machine with human-like ability

C) once we make a machine as complex as the human brain, it will posses intelligence

D) robots will have control of the vast, man-made world in space

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

“... We are not about to enter the Information Age but instead are rather well into it.” Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all United States high schools owned one or more computers for student use.(79) In the fall of 1985, a new survey revealed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become “computer literate (慢点…的).” “By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print illiterate today.”

What is “computer literacy”? The term itself seems to imply soon extent of “knowing” about computers, but knowing what. The current opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate.

Therefore, it is vital that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adults are capable of utilising a motor vehicle without the slightest knowledge of how the

internal-combustion engine works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work. (80)Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever known how to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work?

Rather, we first must concentrate on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is.

“Knowing how to use a computer is what?s going to be important, we don?t talk about …automobile literacy. … We just get in our cars and drive them.”

11. In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to ________.

A) 79 million B) 30 million C) 70 million D) 100 million(C)

12. The expression “Print illiterate” (Para. 1, Line 16) refers to ________.

A) one who has never learnt printing B) one who is not computer literate

C) one who has never learnt to read D) one who is not able to use a typewriter(C)

13. The first paragraph is mainly about ________.

A) recent predictions of computer-related jobs B) the wide use of computers in schools

C) the urgency of computer education D) public interest in computers(C)

14.According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers is to teach ____.

A) what computers are B) how to use computers

C) where computers can be used D) how computers work(B)

15. Which of the following statements is FALSE?

A) What to teach about computers should be reconsidered.

B) Those who are not educated in computer use will find it difficult to get a job.

C) Human society has already entered the Information Age.

D) Those who want to use computers should know how computers operate.

(76)But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite of unfriendly to some extent. Very often,Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word “ Hi”,indeed;this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone,regardless of rank,age or occupation. However,those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk. Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. (77)If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way,they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply . They don‘t want to be impolite or rude,you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays,such as Christmas,Americans don’t usually give gifts. Thus,you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts,especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people. 1. The fact that Americans like shorter answers tells us ______. A. they reply very quickly in a hurry

A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy. Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a home, so they have to borrow money from a bank. Borrowing money from a bank to buy a house is called “take a mortgage (抵押).”The bank usually lends money or gives a mortgae for twenty-five years. Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as $ 50 000. In other words, they will have a $ 50 000 mortgage. How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like, you go to a bank. The bank will research you financial (金融的) history and decide if. they think you are a good risk. They will want to know what kind of job you have, what kind of salary you make, and how long you have had the job. They will also want to know how much money you have. In addition, the banks will require a down payment. Depending on which state you live in, the bank may require as much as 30% of the-price of the house as a down payment. The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house. Many people are never able to buy a house because they cannot save enough money for the down payment. 1.

2009年4月成人英语三级考试真题(A卷)及答案

2009年4月考试真题(A卷) 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 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: I hear many parents complain that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own,most of them are holding one another's hands for reassurance (放心)。 They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But they all end up listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (茧)into a larger cocoon.. (76)It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a market for teenagers. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. This is a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well,go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That's the only kind of popularity that really counts. 1. The author's purpose in writing this passage is to tell______. A. readers how to be popular with people around B. teenagers how to learn to make a decision for themselves C. parents how to control and guide their children D. people how to understand and respect each other 2. According to the author,many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own,but in fact most of them______.
