2007年4月成人三級英語考試（A）真題及答案

    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

    Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76) I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer’ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”.

    The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance(自由欄目)writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.

    After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 ) I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

    ( 中文大意：許多年青人對我說自己想成為一名作家。我通常會鼓勵這類人，但是，我也會向他們解釋作家和寫作之間的巨大差異。在大多數情況下，這些人夢想者財富和名望，根本不可能獨自在打字機前苦思冥想。因此，我對他們說：“你想要寫些什么，可并不想成為一個寫作者”。

     事實上，寫作是一個要能忍受孤獨，隔世離群且收入差的行業(yè)。對每位作家來說，想要發(fā)大財的愿望幾乎難以達到。當我離開工作了20年的美國海岸警衛(wèi)隊，并成為一名自由欄目撰寫人時，我根本沒有任何期待。我唯一擁有的就是一位朋友為我在紐約公寓大廈租到的一個房間。房間里很冷，而且沒有臥室，不過這些都不成問題，我立即買了一臺二手手動打字機，感覺自己就好像是一名天才作家。

    然而，一年以后，我依然沒有放棄自己的理想，可是我卻開始懷疑自己。我知道想要以發(fā)稿來養(yǎng)活自己實在是一件很難的事，但是我渴望寫作，因為這是我夢寐多年的理想。我不想成為那些毫無理想寄托的人........？那有什么關系？我將不斷地驗證我的理想，哪怕這意味著我得過一種不安定的生活以及面臨失敗的恐懼。這是希望的陰影之地，任何擁有該理想的人都必須學會如何在其中生存下去。)

    1. The passage is meant to ______.

    A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
    B. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
    C. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
    D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career

    1、A. 這道題考察考生對文章的整體把握能力。作者在開頭便點明寫作和成為作家是不同的，指出很多年輕人的想法是不成熟的。接下來又以親身經歷說明成為作家的艱辛。
　　　　　　
    2. What can be concluded from the passage?

    A. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.
    B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on efforts.
    C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.
    D. The chances for writer to become successful are small

    2、D. 一個作家成功的比率是非常小的。在文章的第二段中提到For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. 雖然有一些可以得到財富，但上千的作家的努力卻得不到回報。說明作家成功是非常困難的。

    3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?

    A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.
    B. He hadn’t seen aching for the better.
    C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.
    D. He though that he lacked imagination.

    3、B. 作者在從事寫作的第一年懷疑自己是應為他沒有看到情況比一開始有所好轉。

    4. “…people who die wondering: What if ?”(Lin4-5, Para-3) refers to “those _____”.

    A. who think too much of the dark side of life
    B. who regret giving up their career halfway
    C. who think a lot without making a decision
    D. who are full of imagination even upon death

    4、C. 因為這些人總去問what if，說明他們總是猶豫不決，對自己的未來舉棋不定，做不出最終決定。

    5. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _____.

    A. the wonderland on often dreams about
    B. the bright future that one is looking forward to
    C. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached
    D. a world that exists only in one’s imagination

    5、C. 這道題考察對詞匯的理解。Shadowland是指一種在目標實現前的不確定狀態(tài)。
核心詞匯：in most cases, 在多數情況下；dream of, 夢想；free-lance writer, 自由欄目作者；apartment building, 公寓樓；keep doing sth., 堅持做某事

    Passage 2uestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

    Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-thirds of the world’s population live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.

    (78)In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs in the future.

    The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.

    Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as electricity for mankind.

    Technology is enabling man to explore even deeper under the sea. It is obvious that the technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. (79) By the 2050, experts believe that the problems to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largel7y solved.

    ( 中文大意：人類是陸地動物，但是人與海洋的關系也很緊密?？v觀歷史，海洋為人類提供所需。海洋為人類提供食物和交通便利，使人能夠通過航海踏遍世界許多地方。如今，老師們相信，將近三分之二的世界人口居住在八十公里的海岸線以內。

    在當今科技世界中，海洋為人類的生存提供了許多的資源。陸地上的資源越來越少，而海洋在未來人類的需求上依然可以提供大量資源。

    海洋豐富的資源還未被人類充分利用。人類對海底石油和燃氣的勘探已進行了將近三十年，然而，大量有價值的礦物均還埋藏于海底。如鐵，銅等等。

    除了石油和燃氣，海洋還可以提供新的能源資源。例如，海洋溫和的氣溫可以被用作汽船的蒸汽。海洋還可以為人類提供電力能源。

    科技促進了人類對海洋勘探的深入化。很明顯，科技對促進海洋資源利用的步伐將不斷地取得發(fā)展。老師們相信，到2050年，人類對海洋各種資源（食物，礦物質以及能源）的勘探問題將在很大程度上得到解決。)

    6. What is the beat title for the passage?
    A. Needs of Man.          B. Sea Harvest and Food
    C. Sea and Sources of Energy       D. Sea Exploring Technology.

    6、D. 這篇文章主要講的海洋資源的利用。作者一直在強調，技術在海洋資源探測中所起到的重要作用。并在文章結尾說，隨著技術的進步，從海洋中發(fā)掘食物、礦物和新能源的問題將在很大程度上得到解決。　

    7. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

    A. man hasn’t completely made use of the riches of the sea
    B. technology for exploring the sea has been solved
    C. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possible
    D. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor

    7、A. 人類還沒有完全利用海洋的豐富資源。文章的第二段提到，隨著陸地資源的日益枯竭，海洋還能為人類未來的需求提供資源。第三段的開頭承接說，海洋可開發(fā)的豐富的資源是非常驚人的。所以選A。

    8. Why does the author mention a steamship?
    A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.
    B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.
    C. To argue that man should use steamships.
    D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.

    8、A. 作者在文章中提到蒸汽船，就是為了說明人類可以利用很多種海洋資源。文章第四段說，除了石油和天然氣，海洋還提供了很多新能源，接著就以蒸汽船為例證明這一點。

    9. According to the author, technology is important because ______.
    A. resources on land are running short in ten years
    B. man can use it to explore the deeper sea
    C. it is a lot of fun diving into the sea

    Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

    Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.

    It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.

    Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person’s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.

    The situation is somewhat different for women.(80)There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.

    Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.

    ( 中文大意：如今，吸煙是一個很普遍的習慣。在美國，43％的男性和31％的成年女性習慣性吸煙。值得欣慰的是，數以萬計的煙民已經戒掉了煙癮。

     男性吸煙群體普遍高于女性，男女性吸煙者的年齡主要集中在24－44歲之間。

     收入，教育以及職業(yè)對吸煙者的吸煙習慣起著一定的作用，城里人吸煙比農村人多，接受過良好教育且收入高的男性吸煙率要小于那些受教育程度低且收入少的男性。另一方面，如果受過良好教育且收入又高的男士同樣也吸煙的話，那么，他每天很可能得抽幾包煙。

      對于女性而言，情況則有所不同。家庭富裕且受過高等教育的女性，其吸煙率要高于低收入且受教育程度較低的女性群體。越是那些受過高等教育的女性吸煙越嚴重。

      青少年吸煙的比例很少。吸煙只存在于少數經濟條件優(yōu)越，高教育家庭中的孩子和家住農村的孩子當中。但是，如果父母雙方或一方吸煙的話，孩子則很可能開始吸煙。)

    11. What do we know from the first paragraph ?

    A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.
    B. There are more smoking women than smoking men in USA.
    C. It is good news that more people have given up smoking.
    D. The U.S. has more smoking people than any other country.
    11、C. 很多人戒煙是個。在文章的第一段，作者便提到，看到有數百萬的人戒煙是令人振奮的。所以選C?！　　?/P>

    12.What factors determine a person’s smoking habits ?
    A. Age, income and education.
    B. Age, *** and income.
    C. Occupation, income and ***.
    D. Occupation, income and education.

    12、D. 文章第三段的開頭，Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person’s smoking habit. 收入、教育和職業(yè)都在人們的吸煙習慣中起到決定性的作用。

    13.Which of the following is true according to the passage ?
    A. City people are less likely to smoke.
    B. People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.
    C. Men with higher income tend to smoke.
    D. Well-educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.

    13、D. 高知識、高收入的男人不太容易吸煙。文章第三段提到，Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. 文化程度和教育程度越高，吸煙的人越少。所以選D。

    14.What is the smoking situation for women ?
    A. The situation is quite the same for women as for men .
    B. Better-educated women are likely to smoke heavily.
    C. There are more women smokers with low incomes.
    D. Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.

    14、B. 文章第四段提到，女性的情況跟男性相反。These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily. 教育程度越高，吸煙數量越多。

    15.What can we say about teenaged smokers ?
    A. The picture about the teenage smokers is similar to that of women smokers.
    B. The situation among teenagers is quite the same with men.
    C. High school students are more likely to smoke than college students.

    15、B. 青少年的情況與成年男人相似。最后一段提到These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily. 那些來自高收入、高知識家庭和鄉(xiāng)村家庭的孩子吸煙的人數較少。
