英语三级阅读理解

赵文通学位英语解题方法指导—阅读理解

阅读理解试题的做题方法我们称之为还原定位法，即把试题准确地在原文中进行定位，找到答案所在的句子。这种方法的运用有三个步骤：

1.先看试题，后读原文。

这样做既节省了时间，又提高了做题的效率和准确度。

2.对试题在原文中的位置进行模糊定位。

因为试题的出题顺序和文章的叙述顺序存在高度的一致性。

3.对试题在原文中的位置进行准确定位。

对试题在原文中的位置进行准确定位的前提是抓住试题中的标志词和关键词。标志词主要包括①专有名词，是指表示人名、地名和组织机构等的名词，这样的名词在文章中一般都要大写；②表示时间或年代的词；③专业词汇，这样的词汇一般都是比较难懂，一般是我们不认识的词汇。关键词是指表达试题内容的中心词，一般是试题中的名词和名词词组。

[应用举例]

Scientists are racing to build the world’s first thinking robot．This is not science fiction：some say they will have made it by the year 2020. Carol Packer reports.

Machines that walk，speak and feel are no longer science fiction．Kismet is the name of an android(机器人)which scientists have built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT). (31)Kismet is different from the traditional robot because it Can show human emotions．Its eyes，ears and lips move to show when it feels happy, sad or bored．Kismet is one of the first of a new generation of androids——robots that look like human beings——which Can imitate human feelings．(32) Cog，another android invented by the MIT, imitates the action of a mother．However, scientists admit that So far Cog has the mental ability of a two—year—old．

(33)The optimists(乐观主义者)say that by the year 2020 we will have created humanoids(机器人)with brains similar to those of all adult human being．These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more attractive and easier to sell to the public．What kind of jobs will they do? (34)In the future，robots like Robonaut，a humanoid invented by NASA，will be doing dangerous jobs，like repairing space stations．They will also be doing more and mom of the household work for us In Japan，scientists are designing androids that will entertain us by dancing and playing the piano．

Some people worry about what the future holds：will robots become monsters(怪物)?Will people themselves become increasingly like robots? Experts predict that more and more people will be wearing micro—computers，connected to the Internet，in the future．People will have micro—chips in various parts of their body，which will connect them to a wide variety of gadgets (小装置)．Perhaps we should not exaggerate(夸大)the importance of technology，but one wonders whether，in years to come，we will still be falling in love，and whether we will still feel pain．Who knows?

31. Kismet is different from traditional robots because

A. it thinks for itself

B. It is not like science fiction

C. it can look after two—year-old．

D. it seems to have human feelings．

解：本题的标志词是Kismet，关键词组是different from traditional robots，我们在文章第二段的第二句话中找到了试题在文章中的位置，细细读这句话。选项D和这句话的意思是最接近的，因为第二句话中有这样一句it Can show human emotions，选项中的feelings和文章中的emotions是同义词替换，这是阅读理解正确项的一个出题原则。因此是正确答案。

32. What makes Cog special?

A. It looks like a mother．

B. It behaves like a child．

C. It can imitate the behavior of a mother．

D. It has a huge brain．

解：本题的标志词是Cog，接着读文章，在文中寻找关于Cog的论述。关于Cog的论述出现在31题所对应的原文的后面，只有两句话，仔细读完这两句话后，我们发现选项C和原文是对应的，只是文中的单词action被替换成了他的同义词behavior，这是学位英语考试中阅读理解选项设置的一个特点，即同义词替换。

33. In about 15 years’ time from now，robots

A. will become space designers．

B. will look like monsters．

C. will behave like animals．

D. will think like humans．

解：本题的标志词是表示时间的15 years’ time，在读文章是要注意文章中时间词出现的地方。

我们接着度第三段，读完以后，我们在文章中没有发现15 years’ time。但根据模糊定位的原则，第三题所对应的原文就出现在第二题所对应的原文的下面，我们再仔细读第三段。在第一句话中，只出现了时间词2020，题目问的是“从现在起15年以后，机器人会…”，我们一经算计，15年以后，那就是2020年了。所以题目是间接的提问，需要经过我们的计算。那么这道试题所对应的原文就是第三段的前两句话，读完后我们发现选项D. will think like humans．和文章中的句子with brains similar to those of all adult human being．是最接近的，选项D是对文章句子的同义改写，这又是阅读理解试题选项设置的一个原则。

34. In the future robots will also

A. explore space．

B. entertain people．

C. move much faster．

D. do all of the housework．

解：这道试题的标志词是表示时间的词组In the future。我们接着第三题所对应的原文接着往下读，发现下面一句话中出现了这个表示时间的词组，因此我们认定正确答案就在这些句子之中。读完这些句子后我们发现选项B在这些句子的最后一句话中出现了。选项D 是不正确选项，一般说来如果选项中出现比较绝对化的单词，如选项D中的all，以及every、each、the best等等，这个选项一般说来都是错误的，这是阅读理解错误选项设置的一个原则。

35. What is the writer’s attitude to robots in the future?

A. Critical (批评的)

B. Hostile (敌意的)

C. Objective(客观的)

D. Enthusiastic (热情的，热心的)

解：这道提问的是作者对于将来计算机的态度。是最后一道试题，根据模糊定位的原则，我们应当根据最后一段来答题，因为文章中就剩下最后一段我们没有读。现在读一下。从作者的叙述来看，并没有对将来计算机的利弊做出评价，文章是以一个疑问句结尾的：who knows? 从这一点看来，作者的态度是客观的、中性的。因此选项C是正确答案。

A Good Couple Supports Each Other

Rodney Mace, 35, is married with two young children, and is a part-time teacher of architectural history, “I am constantly surprised by other people’s surprise, when they come to the house and see me cleaning a floor or hanging out the washing. Their eyes open wide at the sight of it! Much of the comment comes from men. But I am even more surprised a t the number of women who comment too.”

His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principal work: writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in British Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton.

People ask the Maces if they think their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. “And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children.”

Previously, Rodney Mace worked full-time and Jane only part-ti me. Then 18 months ago, the director of the literacy scheme left. “It seems to me that Jane was very well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did and she got it.” Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do,

Did his male ego(自我，自己)suffer from the change-over? Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking. “I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief, I wasn’t avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us – in every aspect, I think it is fundamental that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if one partner doesn’t work.”

1.The article is about a couple whose married life is happier because___.

A.they have a truly equal partnership

B.the husband enjoy staying at home

C.they earn more money

D.the wife has a full-time job

2.Jane finally decided to apply for her present job because____.

A.she thought she had better qualification than others

B.her husband persuaded her to

C.it was very well paid

D.some of her friends encouraged her to

3.It is implied the passage that____.

A.The Maces believe a good career is even more important than their family life

B.Rodney’s children are quite happy with their position in the family

C.Even capable women sometimes need encouragement from their families

D.The practice of sharing household jobs between husband and wife is commonplace in London

4.We can infer from this passage that a changeover of roles in the family ____.

A.is quite necessary in modern life

B.is probably based on some practical reasons

C.aims solely at a complete emancipation of women

D.shows women are not necessarily inferior to men

5.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Most Englishmen think that a husband should do more housework than a wife.

B.In London the traditional idea about the sex role at home has been completely changed.

C.Many Englishmen and Englishwomen still take it for granted that women are mainly in charge of home and family.

D.English people believe that men should take more responsibilities for housework.

Mary Katherine Goddard and Declaration of Independence

If you look closely at some of the early copies of the Declaration of Independence, beyond the flourished signature of John Hancock and the other 55 men who signed it, you will also find the name of one woman, Mary Katherine Goddard. It was she, a Baltimore printer, who published the first official copies of the Declaration, the first copies that included the names of its signers and therefore heralded(宣布，预示)the support of all thirteen colonies.

Mary Goddard first got into printing at the age of twenty-four when her brother opened a printing shop in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1762. When her proceeded to get into trouble with his partners and creditors, it was Mary Goddard and her mother who were left to run the shop. In 1765 they began publishing The Providence Gazette, a weekly newspaper. Similar problems seemed to follow her brother as he opened businesses in Philadelphia and again in Baltimore. Each time Ms. Goddard was brought in to run the newspapers. After starting Baltimore’s first newspaper, The Maryland Journal, in 1773, her brother went broke trying to organize a colonial postal service. While he was in debtor’s prison, Mary Katherine Goddard’s name appeared in the newspaper’s masthead (报头) for the first time.

When the Continental Congress fled there from Philadelphia in 1776, it commissioned Ms. Goddard to print the first official version of the Declaration of Independence in January 1777. After printing the documents, she herself paid the post riders to deliver the Declaration throughout the colonies.

During the American Revolution, Mary Goddard continued to publish Baltimor e’s only newspaper, which one historian claimed was “second to none among the colonies.” She was also the city’s postmaster from 1775 to 1789 --- appointed by Benjamin Franklin –and is considered to be the first woman to hold a federal position.

46.With which of the following subjects is the passage mainly concerned?

A.The accomplishment of a female publisher.

B.The weaknesses of the newspaper industry.

C.The rights of a female publisher.

D.The publishing system in colonial America.

47.Mary Goddard’s name appears on the Declaration of Independence because____.

A.She helped write the original document

B.She published the document

C.She paid to have the document printed

D.Her brother was in prison

48.According to the passage, Mary Goddard first became involved in publishing when she ____.

A.was appointed by Benjamin Franklin

B.signed the Declaration of Independence

C.took over her brother’s printing shop

D.moved to Baltimore

49.The word “there” in paragraph 3 refers to____.

A.the colonies

B.the print shop

C.Baltimore

D.Providence

50.It can be inferred from the passage that Mary Goddard was ____.

A.an accomplished businesswoman

B.extremely wealthy

C. a member of the Continental Congress

D. a famous writer

内容提示与分析：

作为《独立宣言》重签名的唯一女性，玛丽为美国的独立做出了独特的贡献。本文叙述了她一生的经历从偶然进入出版界道到创办巴尔的摩的第一份报纸，从勇敢的印刷第一份官方版本的《独立宣言》到美国历史上首位拥有联邦公职的女性，这些无不显示了她超人的能力与远见，纵览她一生的奋斗史，她的确无愧于“殖民地中第一人”的赞誉。

答案与分析：

56. A分析：本题考察了对全文的理解。开始从独立宣言的签名引出了玛丽的不平凡，然后介绍她创办报纸，印刷《独立宣言》，最后担任市邮政局局长。文章并没有介绍权力。出版系统的状况，也没有介绍出版工业的状况，故答案为A.

57. B分析：本题有些隐蔽性。原文第二段最后说While he was in debtor’s prison, Mary Katherine Goddard’s name appeared in the newspaper’s masthead (报头) for the first time.这说明在弟弟入狱后，她代替他继续经营报业，所以应选B，文章根本没有谈到撰写文章，付钱等事，所以A, C不符合题意，而D没有发掘出背后的信息。故答案为B。

58. C分析：答案为第二段最后一句话，由for the first time可以知道答案，A, B所提到的事是在后期才做的，所以不合适，故答案为C。

59. C分析：由第一段可以知道，玛丽印刷《独立宣言》，由第二段可以知道，他的印刷工作都在巴而的摩进行。A, B, D在文中都没有提到。故答案为C。

60. A分析：第一段只是提到她是签名人之一，并没有说她是议员，所以C不对，也不能确定她是不是有钱，有名。从她的行为和成就看，可以肯定的是：她是一位取得了巨大成就的商业女性，故答案为A.

Teach Your Child to Wonder

Children start out as natural scientists, instinctively eager to investigate the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy, there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity. Firstly, listen to th eir questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a career. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in science. Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”

After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I got a stomachache. Why? ”

This began a series of questions that lasted nearly two hours.

Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past three decades have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for a response, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or m ore, children respond with more logical, complete and creative answers.

Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child engaged in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good.”

These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before,” or coming up w ith more questions or ideas.

Never urge a child to “Think”. It doesn’t make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn

a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few as possible, so he will be a smaller target for your

disapproval.

Lastly, show, do n’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can extract from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass, and they’ll understand why you want the m to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates, set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.

46.In order to arouse children’s interest, the most important things for adults to do is ___.

A.to encourage them by saying “That’s right frequently ”

B.to share their curiosity

C.to explain difficult phrases about science

D.to offer their children lad devices

47.The word “instinctively” in the first line can be replaced by ____.

A.actively

B.passionately

C.impulsively

D.interestingly

48.According to the passage, children can give more logical, complete and creative answers n science discussion if adults ____.

A.give them some hints

2018成人学士学位英语考试试题 I. Reading comprehension Passage 1 Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries. With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now s o ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index (巨无霸指数).That’s not to say that every nation carries the same m enu i tems: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans. Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many s ee McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism (沙文主义), and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb e xploded in a French McDonald’s, killing a 27-year-old employee. (76) (76)No one claimed responsibility. But regardless of whether you like their food or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization. 1. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE. A. McDonald's was founded in 1948. B. McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world. C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now. D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning. 2. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____. A. very crowded B. very dean C. existing everywhere D. occurring frequently 3. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____. A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local people B. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’s C. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big Mac D. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day 4. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's? A. They organized a strike. B. They protested outside a McDonald’s. C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s. D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction. 5. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.

大学英语三级B级-阅读理解(三) (总分：25.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、单项选择题(总题数：5，分数：25.00) Task 6 The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better. Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully. There is a saying about it being so noisy that you can't hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don't, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems. Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress. But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night! Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the "good old days" of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise--if we shout loudly enough about it. （分数：5.00） (1).Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?（分数：1.00） A.Because the world is becoming more and more noisy. √ B.Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution. C.Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings. · D.Because people knew little about the danger of noise before. 解析：细节判断题。第二段第三、四句话解释了原因：和平安静的地方很难找到，噪音对人类是一种威胁，人们应认真对待。 (2).What may be the result if we cannot hear ourselves think?（分数：1.00） A.We may forget what we have thought about. B.Our thoughts may be interfered. C.Our mind may be harmed. √ D.We may have difficulty using the right words. 解析：细节辨认题。从文中第三段的If we don’t，we may have headaches，other aches and pains，or even worse mental problems．这句话可知：如果我们听不到自己的声音，可能会产生头痛、其他疼痛，甚至会出现更糟糕的大脑问题。 ` (3).When the writer says we cannot return to the "good old days", he means that ______（分数：1.00） A.our society is becoming much worse than before B.in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life √ C.the old days were much happier than the present D.it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before______ 解析：推理题。从文章最后一段可知B是正确的。 (4).From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that（分数：1.00） A.we can put noise under control if our measures are effective @

公共英语考试《三级》阅读理解练习(1)

公共英语考试《三级》阅读理解练习(1) "Family" is of course an elastic word. And in different countries it has different meanings. Butwhen British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family"in itsnarrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own houseas an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in-dependent family--hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both man andwoman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty willthen be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibilityand their alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts oruncles, have any right to interfere with them-they are their own masters. Readers of novels likeJane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the "parents' duty tofind a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement tolead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected andmaintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in theirgiving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆).

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.

大学英语三级阅读模拟试题集

大学英语三级阅读模拟试题集 Model Test 1 Passage One Suppose you set your mind to work on the problem of how you would use your own eyes if you had 3 more days to see. If with the oncoming darkness of the 3rd night you knew that the sun would never rise for you again, how would you spend those 3 precious days? What would you most want to let your gaze rest upon? I, naturally, should want most to see the things which have become dear to me through my years of darkness. You, too, would want to let your eyes rest long on the things that have become dear to you so that you could take the memory of them with you in the night that loomed (降临) before you. I should want to see the people whose kindness and gentleness and companionship have made my life worth living. First I should like to gaze long upon the face of my teacher, Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, who came to me when I was a child and opened the outer world to me. I should want not merely the outline of her face, so that I could cherish it in my memory, but to study that face and find in it the living evidence of the sympathetic tenderness and patience with which she accomplished the difficult task of my education. I should like to see in her eyes that strength of character which has enabled her to stand firm in the face of difficulties, and that compassion for all humanity which she has revealed to me so often. Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just 3 days! 1.What can be inferred from the 2nd paragraph? A. the author is a deaf B. the author is a blind person C.
