2021年成人英語三級(jí)模擬練習(xí)題13

Passage 1:

In America Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother’s Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother’s Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.

I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began. It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.

Anna was born on May 1, 1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a “minister”, which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.

After she became an adult, Anna worked for a life insurance company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-a city about halfway between New York City and Washington, D.C. then, in 1906, just two weeks after Anna’s 42nd birthday, her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.

In the months that followed, Anna began to change. No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life-to have her mother and all other mothers honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.

After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother’s Day church service, on May 10, 1908, in Grafton, West Virginia. The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother’s Day-the first city to do so. After three more years, the state of West Virginia, where Anna’s mother had lived, made Mother’s Day a statewide observance – not a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.

1. Which answer is right about Mother’s Day?

A) In America, Mother’s Day is a holiday with a very long history.

B) More and more countries are put aside their tradition of celebrating Mother’s Day.

C) In America, Mother’s Day is on the second Sunday in May.

D) Throughout the world, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the same day.

答案： D

解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段的內(nèi)容可以知道A、B、C是正確的，C錯(cuò)在the same day和文章的意思不一樣，僅僅是說其它的國(guó)家抽出一天但是沒有說是在同一天。

2. Choose the right explanation of the word “observance” in the last paragraph

A) remark made by people

B) action in accordance with custom

C) performance of certain tradition

D) notice paid widely

答案： C

解析： C的含義是傳統(tǒng)的履行，實(shí)際上是過節(jié)日。根據(jù)上下文的含義應(yīng)該是慶祝母親節(jié)選擇C較合適。

3. How long in all had Anna spent to establish Mother’s Day in West Virginia?

A) from May 10, 1908 to May 10, 1911

B) for more than four years

C) for more than three years

D) for about three years

答案： B

解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題。這題有一定的推算性，on May 10, 1908然后After three more years可以知道應(yīng)該至少是四年。B是正確的答案。

4. Choose the right understanding of this passage.

A) Anna was born just before the assassination of President Lincoln which ended the Civil War.

B) Anna was a daughter of a minister which in English means a church worker.

C) Anna’s mother’s death had done a little damage to him easy life.

D) The Mother’s Day celebrated in West Virginia is not a normal holiday, but a day with special meaning.

答案： D

解析： 細(xì)節(jié)題.最后一段的Mother's Day a statewide observance – not a holiday in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.可以知道答案。

5. According to the passage, what most probably happened in the paragraph following?

A) The United States Congress proclaimed the Second in May as Mother’s Day forever in the United States.

B) Mother’s Day gradually became a conventional celebration.

C) Anna retired from her job with a fortune of over a hundred thousand dollars.

D) People stopped buying candy to their mothers.

答案： B

解析： 文義推論題。本文的作者主要是說母親節(jié)的來歷，到文章的最后只是說明了這個(gè)節(jié)日的歷史，但尚沒有說出在以后的時(shí)間里漸漸成為一個(gè)conventional(慣常的、慣例的)節(jié)日。

Passage2:

Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older. But this is not true, according to Dr Jarvik, professor of psychiatry at the University of California. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of identical twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old. As Dr Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their minds did not generally decline as was expected.

However, there was some decline in their psycho-motor speed. This means that it took them longer to accomplish mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general, Dr Jarvik’s studies have shown that there is no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only with those in their 30s and 40s, but with those in their 60s and 70s as well.

It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. However, much of what we call “loss of memory” is not that at all. There usually was incomplete learning in the first place. For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace. In the cases where the older person’s mind really seems to decay, it is not necessarily a sign of decay due to old age. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed emotional state.

6.This passage is mainly about ____.

A) how Dr Jarvik studied mental functioning of the twins.

B) what caused mental decay.

C) the results evidenced by Dr Jarvik’s studies.

D) the difference between middle – aged and older persons

答案： C

解析： 大意題。本文主要向讀者傳達(dá)了人的記憶和分析能力不是隨著年齡的增大而消退，主要是通過.Dr Jarvik的研究成果來顯示的。其它選項(xiàng)不是文章的主旨意思。

7. The word “psychiatry” in paragraph 1 most probably means ____.

A) the study of human behavior.

B) the study of disease of the mind.

C) the study of problems with aging persons.

D) the study of twins growth.

答案： B

解析： 大意題。同上題的解釋。主要的是disease of the mind和年齡的區(qū)別。

8. A long – term study of 136 pairs of twins showed that ____.

A) they lost a little ability to reason over the years.

B) the only factor which declined over the years was their speed with which to perform mental tasks.

C) their memory was not as good as it had once been.

D) their minds became is not considered as they grew older.

答案： B

解析：　細(xì)節(jié)和推論.文章的第一段最后一句和第2段的前兩句都是說明這樣的一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)說明研究結(jié)果.即，僅僅和速度有關(guān)系，課文的下面部分也相應(yīng)作了解釋.

9. Which of the following is not considered as an instanced of “incomplete learning”?

A) Poor hearing.

B) Bad eyesight.

C) Lack of attention.

D) The attempt to learn too many new things at the same time

答案： D

解析：最后一句的中間部分For example, the older person perhaps had trouble hearing, or poor vision, or inattention, or was trying to learn the new thing at too fast a pace沒有提到D項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容.D項(xiàng)僅僅說的是心理原因造成的結(jié)果.

10. What we call mental decay is usually a sign of ____.

A) a low – spirited state.

B) a worsening state of health.

C) old age.

D) nervous tension

答案： A

參考答案：

1. B 她為沒能參加那次聚會(huì)而道歉。apologize for　為……而道歉;for 為介詞，后跟名詞或動(dòng)名詞，動(dòng)名詞的否定式是其前面直接加否定詞not，故B正確。

2. A 我再次建議他不要再吸煙了，但他好像沒有聽到一樣。turn sb a deaf ear 不聽某人的話。advise sb (not) to do sth 建議某人(不要)做某事。注意：不定式的否定式也是其前面直接加否定詞not, 故A正確。

3. C cupboard 小櫥，碗櫥; 那個(gè)碗櫥有五百磅重，要想移動(dòng)對(duì)于個(gè)人來說是太重了。我們看B選項(xiàng)：she could not move the cupboard. 這句本身沒有錯(cuò)誤，但是分詞Weighing five hundred pounds，的邏輯主語不是她(she)，而是the cupboard。分詞短語做狀語時(shí)，其邏輯主語要和主句主語保持一致.

4.C 被問及這次新的演出時(shí)，他回答得很自信。Confidently 是副詞，修飾動(dòng)詞answer，放在動(dòng)詞前面后面都可以。過去分詞做狀語，含被動(dòng)意義，這里asked的邏輯主語是he, 而不是his answer. 故A, D排除，再看：B, C , “他回答”是主動(dòng)語態(tài)，所以B項(xiàng)被動(dòng)形式錯(cuò)誤，正確答案為：C。

5.C 看到烏云遮蓋了天空，他就停下工作回家了。現(xiàn)在分詞做伴隨狀語，其邏輯主語是主句主語：he. 主動(dòng)語態(tài)，故C正確.B被動(dòng)形式排除.選項(xiàng)A是不定式形式，表目的，將來要發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，譯為：為了要看烏云遮蓋天空，他......顯然不合題意。D.沒有這種用法.

6. B fled 的原形是：flee , 意思是"逃走，逃避";這個(gè)城市被占領(lǐng)了，居民們就四處逃生了.這是一個(gè)獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，兩句的主語不是一個(gè).

7. D 由于被選為主任，他晚上工作到很晚.Being chosen director現(xiàn)在分詞短語作原因狀語，相當(dāng)于原因狀語從句：Because he was chosen director.

8. C 他在學(xué)習(xí)英語上有困難嗎?have difficulty (in) doing 干什么有困難;其中in 可以省略.固定短語，故C正確.

9. A 冬季我們?nèi)ド缴匣?　go skiing 去滑雪;

10.D 她非常喜歡打排球;enjoy doing sth 喜歡干什么事.

11. D 我不能來來的原因是我必須得為馬上來臨的考試做準(zhǔn)備了.reason 原因，why 引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句。

12. D 年輕時(shí)她在學(xué)樣學(xué)習(xí)很用功，這對(duì)她在以后的職業(yè)生涯中取得成功有很大貢獻(xiàn)。這是非限制性定語從句，前面整個(gè)句子做先行詞，則定語從句只能用關(guān)系代詞which，故選D。

13. A 聲波在空氣中的傳播跟在水面的傳播方式是一樣的。As引導(dǎo)方式狀語從句。引導(dǎo)方式狀語從句的從屬連詞有：as, as if, as though, just as等。

14. D 我買了一瓶啤酒，但是我沒有什么東西用來打開它。句子“I can open it with”中缺少賓語，關(guān)系代詞前有介詞時(shí)：指人就用whom，指物就用which，故選擇：D。

15. C 作家們能準(zhǔn)確地描述出他們?cè)娺^的事物的特征。

16. B 這個(gè)禮物并不像他曾許諾我的那樣好。such……as…… 如此……像什么一樣;

17. A 或許這樣的日子就會(huì)來臨，人們?cè)诔鞘欣锬軌蚝粑叫迈r空氣。When引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句。

18. A 為了組織一場(chǎng)客觀的測(cè)試，老師寫了一系列問題，每個(gè)問題只有一個(gè)正確的答案。each of which 這些問題中的每一個(gè)，非限制性定語從句中“which”這個(gè)關(guān)系代詞代指前面的“a series of questions”。形式也對(duì)，但句子謂語用的是has，是單數(shù)，故A正確。

19. B 更高的犯罪率存在于城市那些大量的無業(yè)游民中。分析：這個(gè)選項(xiàng)我們不要被空格前的in cities所迷惑了，否則一下就選用地點(diǎn)狀語引導(dǎo)詞where了，這樣句子就不正確了，因?yàn)殛P(guān)系副詞是不能做主語的，D排除;關(guān)系代詞在句子中可以作主語，C選項(xiàng)，我們代入句子看看，主語重復(fù)了， which 和they都是充當(dāng)主語，并列這樣用，是根本生不通的。D選項(xiàng)謂語動(dòng)詞不能用分詞形式，分詞本身詞性就是不動(dòng)詞，怎么能充當(dāng)謂語。答案為：B。

20. C 科學(xué)家們稱牛頓的引力存在整個(gè)宇宙空間的理論思想為萬有引力定律。“Call sth sth……” 意為：“稱……為……”;我們把句子簡(jiǎn)化為：Scientists call Newton’s idea the law of universal gravitation. 科學(xué)家們稱牛頓的思想為萬有引力定律;顯然，先行詞是idea, 而它充當(dāng)?shù)氖琴e語，用which或that來引導(dǎo)，在該類題中，如果既給出which又給出that供選擇時(shí)，應(yīng)以選that為正確答案。
