172 Model Test 3 Key to Model Test 3 Part I. Writing Computer Games on Campus     Today, college students like playing computer games. Maybe playing computer games  can be beneficial to students to some extent. It brings fun and trains one’s reactivity, deter- mination, and attention.     However, too many college students are absorbed in playing computer games, which  brings some negative effects. First, it is very time-consuming to play computer games. The  game fans have sacrificed almost all their time thus they have no time to attend class, to  take exercises, or even to date. Second, those who play computer games excessively would  easily fall victim to various illnesses. For example, game fans always fix their eyes on the  screen; therefore they are likely to be near-sighted.      In my opinion, as students we should devote ourselves to our study instead of spend- ing too much time playing computer games, so that we will not regret that they have wast- ed the precious college time on nothing upon graduation.

Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) Section A   47.   J.  此处需要动词第三人称单数，与car industry搭配应选J。   48. C.  此处为同级比较，应填入形容词,综合上下文的意思，只有C符合。   49. K.  and连接对等结构需要填名词，根据句意应该选K。   50. A.  此处主语为人，所以选A。   51. E.  此处应用形容词修饰problem，根据上文可知，车祸应是令人感到沮丧的事情，故 选E。   52. M. 此处应添动词，接后面的宾语three fovtors. involve意为“包括”，故选M。   53. H.  crime意为“犯罪”，名词词性。填在此处，本句可意为“如果所有的司机都能做 到时时刻刻都具有良好的判断力，那车祸就会少很多，这就像是说，如果所有人 都很诚实，那也就没有犯罪了。”故选H。   54. G.  human failure此处方译为“人为错误”。   55. N. 此处应用副词修饰动词turn，根据上下文可知，人们对第三个因素的注意力应是 增加了的，故选N。   56. O.  assume意为“假定，设想”，本句可译为“这样人们就会想车祸有时在所难免， 那么汽车生产商会怎样更好地制造汽车以保护司机的安全呢”。 Section B Passage One 本文主要介绍了两种公司增加资金的，一种是发行债券，另一种是发行股票。   57.  B.  见文章第一段。第一段介绍了本文的主要内容，即公司增加资金的几种方式，故 选B。   58. C.  文章第一段提到A、D两种方法，第二段和第三段主要讲了证券和股票即B项的内 容，只有C没有涉及，所以选C。   59. D.  principal 一词含义较多，但在文中放在pay back的后面，应该是指金钱，所以选D。   60.  B.  根据目可定位于第三段，由第五句话可知B项正确。   61. A.  由第二段可知不论公司是否挣钱，都要按时付清购买债券的本金和利息，因此购 买债券的人不必承担公司的损失，所以选A；B项说的是股票持有人的情况，而非 债券持有人；C、D项与原文不符。 Passage Two 本文主要介绍了培养学生创造性思维的七个步骤。   62. D. 本文主要讲的是培养学生创造性思维的七个步骤，故选D。   63. A.  本文主要讲的是培养学生创造性思维的七个步骤，这七个步骤的目的自然就是培 174 Model Test 3 养学生的创造性思维，故选A。   64. A.  选项A的内容与第四步骤的内容正好相反，应该是老师向学生提问题来帮助学生 理解要求。   65. C.  见第二段讲的第四个步骤。   66.  D. 见文章最后一段第一句话。   Part V.

Section C Compound Dictation Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the sec- ond time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.     Sport is one of the world’s largest (36) industries, and most athletes are professionals  who are paid for their (37) efforts. Because an athlete (38) succeeds by achievement  only — not by (39) economic background or family connections — sports can be a fast  route to (40) wealth, and many athletes play more for money than for love.     This has not always been true. In the (41) ancient Olympics the winner got only  a wreath of olive leaves (橄榄叶花环). Even though the winners became (42) national  heroes, the games (43) remained amateur for centuries. Athletes won fame, not money.  As time passed, however, (44) the contests became increasingly less amateur and cities  179Band Two began to hire athletes to represent them. By the fourth century A.D., (45) the Olympics  were ruined, and were ended soon after that. In 1896, the Olympic games were revived  (使再度兴起) with the same goal of pure amateur competition. But later many countries  paid their athletes to train year-round. (46) Now Olympic athletes are eager to sell their  names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food. Even the  games themselves have become a huge business. Countries fight to hold the Olympics  not only for honor, but also for money.
