Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets. Text 1 The dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, when Williams was at home, Prince never left his sight, practically ignoring all other members of the family. The dog had a number of clearly defined duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like the good pupil he was, Prince lived for the chance to demonstrate his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur “Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. 公共英语3级 PET3 At nine every morning, Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams' daily paper but with a halfounce packet of Williams' favorite tobacco, John Rhiney's Mixed. A gundog by breed, Prince possessed a large soft mouth specially evolved for the safe carrying of hunted creatures, so the paper and the tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark. Williams was a railwayman, an engine driver, and he wore a blue uniform which smelled of oil and oil fuel. He had to work at odd times —“days”, “late days” or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, knew when his master would leave the house and return, and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, as he often did, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke, much to the annoyance of the family. On his return, Williams' slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too if previously undelivered. A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost 公共英语3级 PET3 his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later—that was five days after the fall—Prince dropped the wallet into William's hand. Very muddy, stained and wet through, the little case still contained fiftythree pounds, Williams' driving license and a few other papers. Where the dog had found it no one could tell, but found it he had and recognized it probably by the faint oily smell on the worn leather. 46. How did the dog perform his duties?C ,A, He was delighted to show them off. ,B, He did his best but was not often successful. ,C, He did them quickly to get them over. ,D, He had few opportunities to do them. 47. What does the passage tell us about gun dogs?C ,A, They are the fastest runners of all dogs. ,B, Their teeth are removed when they are young. ,C, They can carry birds, etc. without hurting them. ,D, They breed well, producing many young dogs. 48. As a result of Williams' work .D ,A, he did not get enough sleep ,B, there was an oily smell from his clothes 公共英语3级 PET3 ,C, the dog grew accustomed to travelling by train ,D, the dog was confused about the time of the day 49. It upset Williams' wife and family when .B ,A, Williams had to go to work at night ,B, the dog made too much noise in the house ,C, Williams made them all get up early ,D, the dog would not let them see the newspaper 50. Williams did not realise his loss for several days because .B ,A, he trusted the dog to find the wallet ,B, he was unconscious all that time ,C, he thought the wallet was in the house ,D, he had no occasion to feel in his pockets Text 2 About ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way; women are luckier only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. There are different forms of colour blindness. A man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green—a strange world indeed. 公共英语3级 PET3 In certain occupations colour blindness can be dangerous and candidates are tested most carefully. For example, when fighting at night, soldiers use lights of flares to signal to each other. A green light may mean “Advance” and a red light may mean “Danger! Keep back!”, You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green! Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”, These help to see in a bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shape but not colour. Wait until it is dark tonight, then go outside. Look round you and try to see what colors you can recognize. Birds and animals which hunt at night have eyes which contain few or no cones at all, so they cannot see colours. As far as we know, bats and adult owls cannot see colours at all only light and dark shapes. Similarly cats and dogs cannot see colours as well as we can. Insects can see ultraviolet rays which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see Xrays. The wings of a moth may seem grey and dull to us, but to insects they may appear beautiful, showing colours which we cannot see. Scientists 公共英语3级 PET3 know that there are other colours around us which insects can see but which we cannot see. Some insects have favorite colours. Mosquitoes like blue, but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will. 51. Among people who suffer from colour blindness, .D ,A, some may see everything in shades of green ,B, few can tell the difference between blue and green ,C, few may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green ,D, very few may think that everything in the world is in green 52. When millions of rods in our eyes are at work in darkness we can see.C ,A, colours only ,B, shapes and colours ,C, shapes only ,D, darkness only 53. According to the passage, bats and adult owls cannot see colours.D ,A, because they hunt at night ,B, because they cannot see light ,C, because they have no cones and rods 公共英语3级 PET3 ,D, because they have no cones 54. According to the passage, dogs and cats.A ,A, as well as human beings can not see some colours ,B, have fewer cones than human beings ,C, have less rods than human beings ,D, can see colours as well as human beings 55. Which of the following is not true about insects?C ,A, Insects can see more colours than human beings. ,B, Insects can see ultraviolet rays which are invisible to men. ,C, All insects have their favorite colours. ,D, The world is more colorful to insects than to human beings. Text 3 A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better. A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by 公共英语3级 PET3 frightening him or arousing his sadistic impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seems to be rather a safety valve than an incitement to overt action. As to fears, there are, I think, wellauthenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy stories. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered. There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, twoheaded dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their 公共英语3级 PET3 enchanted girl friend. No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane child had ever believed that it was. 56. In the writer's opinion, a fairy tale .B ,A, cannot be read to children without variation because they find no pleasure in it ,B, will be more effective if it is adapted by parents ,C, must be made easy so that children can read it on their own ,D, is no longer needed in developing children's power of memory 57. According to the passage, some people who are openly against fairy tales argue that .C ,A, fairy tales are harmful to children in that they show the primitive cruelty in children ,B, fairy tales are harmful to children unless they have been adapted by their parent ,C, fairy tales increase a tendency to sadism in children ,D, children who have read fairy stories pay little attention to the study of history and mechanics 58. In the writer's opinion to rid children of fears, fairy stories should be. B 公共英语3级 PET3 ,A, told only once ,B, repeated many times ,C, told in a realistic setting ,D, presented vividly 59. In the writer's opinion, fairy stories . B ,A, have a very bad effect on children ,B, have advantages in cultivating children's imagniativity ,C, help children to come to terms with fears ,D, harm children greatly 60. According to the passage, which of the following statement is not true about fairy stories? D ,A, If children indulged his fantasies in fairy tales instead of being taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics the world should be full of madman. ,B, Children can often be greatly terrified when the fairy story is heard for the first time. ,C, Fairy tales may beneficially direct children's aggressive, destructive and sadistic impulses. ,D, Fairy tales are no more than stories about imaginary figures with magical powers which has nothing to do with external world. 公共英语3级 PET3 Part B Directions: Read the texts from an article in which five people talked about smoking. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (1 to 5) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Hadley If you smoke and you still don't believe that there's a definite link between smoking and bronchial troubles, heart disease and lung cancer, then you are certainly deceiving yourself. Just have a look at those people in hospital with these diseases and count how many of them do not smoke, you may be surprised at the number. Even these few people might be passive smokers without realising it. Randy Tobacco is a wonderful commodity to tax. It's almost like a tax on our daily bread. In tax revenue alone, the government of Britain collects enough from smokers to pay for its entire educational facilities. So while the authorities point out ever so carefully that smoking may be harmful, it doesn't do to shout too loudly about it. Sampson 公共英语3级 PET3 The advertising of tobacco is one of the problems. We are never shown pictures of real smokers coughing up their lings early in the morning. That would never do. The advertisements always depict handsome, cleanshaven young men. They suggest it is manly to smoke, even positively healthy! Smoking is associated with the great open air life, with beautiful girls, true love and togetherness. What utter nonsense! Rowley Of course tobacco can help government to raise money. However, while money is eagerly collected in vast sums with one hand, it is paid out in increasingly vaster sums with the other. Enormous amounts are spent on cancer research and on efforts to cure people suffering from the disease. Countless valuable lives are lost. In the long run, there is no doubt that everybody would be much better off if smoking were banned altogether. Bernice Smoking can provide constant consolation. When I feel worried or nervous, I just get a cigarette and everything seem to get right. After a day's hard work, the thing I want to do most is smoking. It can be even better with a cup of coffee. It's so enjoyable and 公共英语3级 PET3 relaxing that it relieves stresses of every day life. So why bother to ban it and take the pleasure from us. Now match each of the people (1 to 5) to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. 61. Hadley C 62. RandyB 63. SampsonE 64. Rowley D 65. Bernice A Statements ,A, Smoking brings many psychological benefits. ,B, Tobacco is an important source of income to the government. ,C, Smoking is sure to cause diseases. ,D, It's a shortsighted policy to depend on tobacco for money. ,E, The advertisement for it is dishonest and harmful. ,F, The tobacco industry makes highquality advertisement for smoking. ,G, It's doubtful whether there is link between smoking and cancer. 公共英语3级 PET3 Section ? Writing (40 minutes) You should write your responses to both parts on ANSWER SHEET 1. Part A You go to the railway station to meet one of your friends, and the train has not arrived yet, so you have to leave him a note on the clipboard, from which he will learn how to find you. Part B Read the following material and write a short essay of about 150 words under the title “Should Men Be Forced by Law to Do Half the Housework?” The Austrian parliament will shortly be considering a draft law designed to compensate women after a divorce if their former husbands never helped them with the housework. Last week the German Green Party went even further, demanding a new law to make couples share the chores fiftyfifty if both partners were at work. The German paper Bild said a third of German women did all the housework on their own. Academics here in Britain talked of reversing what they called the“Allerednic effect”—that's “Cinderella” backwards —in which a prince marries a princess and turns her into a scullery maid. 公共英语3级 PET3 So is it time for men to clean up their act? Or should the lawmakers leave it all well alone?

Part A 46. ,A, 文章第一段第三句话告诉我们这只狗有几项明确的职责，它利用机会来显示它的才能“ demonstrate his abilities ”，show off正是demonstrate的意思。 47. ,C,Prince是一条猎狗，它的特点是能衔住猎物而不伤之。甚至连牙印都不留下。由此可推出C。 48. BWilliams是铁路工人，机车司机，他穿的蓝色制服上有股油味，故选B。 49. ,B,Williams经常睡过头，公共英语3级 PET3 这时，Prince就会在他的卧室外不停地叫，直到把他叫醒，这一点让他的家人很烦。所以选B。 50. ,D, 诉我们William因为摔了一跤，在床上躺了三天，直到他起来能再穿衣服的时候他才发现钱包丢了。“got up and dressed again”中的“again”一词说明了在这三天内他一直没能起床穿衣，自然也就没机会摸衣服口袋了，这就是他这几天一直没意识到钱包丢了的原因。 51. ,D, 不幸的患者会把每一种色彩都当作是深浅不同的绿色。A、B、C的错误之处都在于对色盲人数多少的限定词some或few不够准确。 52. ,C,rods”这个专业词汇帮助我们在第三段中间位置迅速定位，在这里，作者告诉我们视杆细胞(rod)在天色接近黑暗时发挥作用，他们能使我们看到物体的外形，而不是颜色。故选C。 53. ,D, 句告诉我们在夜晚捕食的鸟和动物的眼睛几乎没有或根本没有锥状细胞(cone)，所以不能区别颜色。而蝙蝠或猫头鹰就属于这样的动物。故D正确。 54. ,B, 识别颜色的能力不如人类，而前文又说了不能识别颜色是因公共英语3级 PET3 为椎状细胞少，由此，我们可以推出猫和狗的椎状细胞不如人类多。这里易误选的是A答案，注意文中的as well as是不如„„好的意思，是比较级的as... as形式，不是作为“也”意思讲的短语“as well as”。 55. ,C, 的叙述中，我们知道，昆虫能看到许多我们人类看不见的颜色，它们所看到紫外线和X射线，这里在讲到昆虫用的是表示类别的复数形式“insects”，代表的是所有的昆虫共有的特征，所以A、B、D的内容都是正确的，C的内容说所有的昆虫都有它们自己喜爱的颜色，而文中说的是一些昆虫有自己喜爱的颜色，所以C的内容不对，答案为C。 56. ,B,produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text”指的就是对童话加以改编。 57. ,C,arousing his sadistic impulses”即是答案所在，这里指的就是“唤起暴虐的欲望”。 58. ,B,第一、二句中作者解释了孩子们恐惧的原因，并讲述了消除这种恐惧的方法，即“by repetition”。 59. ,C, 公共英语3级 PET3 一个故事会把恐惧的痛苦变为面对恐惧并战胜它的一种快乐。所以C中的帮助孩子接受恐惧最为合适。 60. ,A,A项的内容不是作者的观点，而是作者在末段要批判的观点。而且作者对童话是持肯定态度的，A项内容显然是一种否定态度，因而是错误的。故答案为A。 Part B 61. ,C,Hardley主要讲了吸烟与疾病的关系，他的观点其实就是两者之间有必然的联系，所以C最合适。 62. ,B,Randy从另外一个角度发表自己的观点，即烟草业给国家带来了很多税收，以及由此带来的好处，故选B。 63. ,E,Sampson从香烟广告这一角度而谈，他认为广告里对吸烟者的形象塑造不符合实际情况，易产生误导，用“advertisement”作为关键词可首先把选择范围缩小，比较E、F选项，不难看出E较合适。 64. ,D,Rowley的观点与Randy相对，他承认烟草为政府增加收入，但他更强调为治疗和研究吸烟带来的疾病所耗费的大量资金。所以他认为从长远利益考虑，应禁烟。D选项正是这一意思的另一种表达方式。 65. ,A,Bernice对吸烟持肯定态度，他认为吸烟能使他消除紧张，进行放松。他所说的感受，即“worried”“nervous”等都是从心理角度来说的，所以总结起来，可以说他认为吸公共英语3级 PET3 烟可以带来心理方面的益处。 Section ? Part A Wang Jun, I came here to pick you up on time, but the train was late and the railway station told me that it was unknown when the train would arrive at Shijiazhuang. I have an important meeting this afternoon. As soon as you arrive here, please phone me, and the number is 0311,69125605. Chen Zhiqiang Part B Should Men Be Forced by Law to Do Half the Housework? It is really ridiculous that the Australian parliament was to lay down a law to force human being to do the housework. I can't reason out anything to explain that a government should meddle in the family life. In my opinion, nobody can divide equally the housework into two parts and tell what a man or a woman should do in a family. Husband and Wife, enjoying the same right in a family, give their deep seated love to each other. On the one hand, Wife has no obligation to shoulder the heavy burden of all the housework. Neither does Husband. On the other hand, if they deal with the 公共英语3级 PET3 housework as the businessman does in a market, the family will come to its end. When one is at home, the other is still working outside, why doesn't he or she prepare everything for him or her and give him or her a sense of having a family? Why not comfort him or her if he or she comes back exhaustedly? Why do you just force Husband to do half? Why not the whole if he is free? If he loves his wife, is it necessary to force him?Therefore, it is not reasonable for any institution to interfere in a private life. It is not necessary to force Husband to do half of housework. ,分析, Part A 这种留言条在日常生活比较常见，与其他类型的便条并无本 质上的差别。一方面作者说明，他已经按朋友的要求来车站 接人了，但由于双方面的原因，不得不离开。先说明离开的 原因，然后交待清楚取得联系的方法。因为二者是朋友关系， 语言并不要求特别正式。 Part B 这是一个材料作文，考生可以使用材料中的语言，但不宜过 多。可以使用其中的语言观点，但只是一个辅助的部分，不 能占有重要的位置，可以用它们来支持说明自己的观点。第 一段考生应该清楚明白地说明自己的观点:“... nobody can 公共英语3级 PET3 divide equally the housework into two parts and tell what a man or a woman should do in a family”。结尾做总结时点题，“It is not necessary to force Husband to do half of housework”。 Section ? Part 1 Interlocutor: Sit down, please. Zhang: Thanks. Interlocutor: Could you please tell me your name? Zhang: My name is Zhang Hong. Interlocutor: I would like to have some information about your profession. Zhang: Ok. I am working in a company as a righthand man. Interlocutor: What do you mean by“righthand man”? Zhang: It's something like a secretary. I have to prepare some data for the manager's speech at a meeting, to receive the call and send some mails for him. Sometimes he asks me to type something into the computer. Sometimes I explain his policy to other employees and report some advice to him. You see, I am involved in so many trifles every day. I think one day I will be driven crazy. Interlocutor: Do you mean you want to change your job? 公共英语3级 PET3 Zhang: I don't mean that. In fact, that is the life itself. I have to accept and stand it. Interlocutor: Good. Part 2 Man: Hi. My name is Zhang Hong. I saw you standing here alone, and I thought I might join you a moment. Hope I will not annoy you too much. Woman: Hi. Mr. Zhang. It is very nice to meet you here. My name is Liu Fang. Zhang: Are you a friend of Mr. and Mrs. Xiao's? Liu: Yeah. I knew both of them in college. Mrs. Xiao was one of my roommates. How have you been here? Zhang: Less than half an hour. I am late for the party, because I took onehourandhalf drive. You know, it was the rush hour then... Liu: A traffic jam? Oh, my God. Zhang: It's okay. Luckily, I am not too late. At least, I am here before you leave now and have a great talk with you. Liu: Oh, thank you. I am flattered. Zhang: You deserve it. You are so pretty and distinguished a girl in the party. Ah, I am sorry. My friend is coming up to me and I have to say hello to him. Pleased to meet you. 公共英语3级 PET3 Liu: Me, too. Part 3 As a young man/girl, I don't want to take part in any organization. You know what it means. You will have to spare some time to attend some activities, maybe meetings, or gettogethers. If you are one member of the organization, you have to explain a lot if you are not able to get somewhere as it asks you to do. Sometimes, I think it is a complete waste of time, to explain to you too much about something that you hate to be involved in but you have to be. I like to “be a law unto myself”.
