公共英语3答案
❶ 怎样一次通过公共英语3级考试有些什么复习资料呢
公共三级绝对不是初中水平。是相当非英语专业本科毕业水平或者是一般外企经理级水平版。关权于通过技巧,其实我发现考试是比我们想象中容易点。但需要注意的是,你需要去相关网站下载一些往年的听力试题,从中吸取大体方向。考试是分三部分的,听力笔试和口语。说道听力和笔试其实很多都是差不多的经验,我那时候考试口语是分自己回到主考问题,和其他考者对答等。平时就得注意自己的发音和口语训练,听力方面还是希望你可以通过看英语节目慢慢培养出来的。
记住,语言的最终目的是运用,等到你有一天可以跟外国人对话时心里不用翻译成中文都可以回答时就是成功的一大步!
❷ 关于公共英语PETS三的问题
如果只是把新概念一册选完,还不足以应付三级考试。PETS三级属于中间级,相当于我国高中生毕业后在大专院校又学了两年公共英语或自学了同等程度英语课程的水平。
PETS三级需要的词汇量是4000左右,建议你把新概念二册也学完,并且经行专门的公共英语等级考试考前强化,才会有十足的把握通过。关于考试报名的有关问题:

The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia

cars a day, and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day.
Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day.
Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash
secondarily. That is, the cars didn’t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated,
residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reced the amount of
territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes.
Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.
Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.
On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved. And more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.

Test 2
Imagine, if you will, the average games player. What do you see? A guy who never grew up? Or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world? Sorry, you lose. The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person. For the first time, according to a U.S. poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game - whether on a PC, a cell phone or another handheld device - for an average of three hours every week.
The games people play say a lot about who they are. Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports stars and racing drivers. Men 50 and older prefer military games. Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line.
Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games? Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality? The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers finds it impossible to resist games; 1 in 4 admits to losing a night’s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.
But don’t think we’re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game. Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes. According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA – whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events. More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world (34 hours).
51. The AOL survey finds that electronic games .
[A] do not present a violent onscreen world
[B] no longer keep gamers from growing up
[C] are no longer exclusive to young people
[D] are not as popular with teenagers as before
52. Who does the author say tend to identify themselves with the characters in the game?
[A] Teenage girls.
[B] Older women.
[C] Men in their 20s.
[D] Men 50 and older.
53. When asked about the extent of their habit, some players .
[A] refused to provide an answer to this question
[B] denied they were affected by electronic games
[C] wondered why they were asked such a question
[D] stressed their interest in playing electronic games
54. It can be inferred from the text that .
[A] electronic games are less harmful than television
[B] television viewers are more realistic than gamers
[C] television is more popular than electronic games
[D] gamers have less self-control than TV viewers
55. According to the writer, the ESA members .
[A] have sufficient knowledge of games
[B] think their games are healthy procts
[C] serve as the role models for game players
[D] are concerned about gamers’ cultural activities
Text 3
The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.
The female ostrich normally proces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.
Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.
The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she proces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.
Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female’s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.
56. We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as .
[A] it is a special kind of bird
[B] it lives in large desert areas
[C] it has special wings and legs
[D] it is the largest bird in the world
57. Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich proces about .
[A] 12 eggs in her nest
[B] 18 eggs in her nest
[C] 20 eggs in her nest
[D] 30 eggs in her nest
58. The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because .
[A] she can only hatch her own eggs
[B] those eggs are unlikely to be hatched
[C] those eggs are to be hatched by others
[D] she can only hatch a limited number of eggs
59. The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and .
[A] color
[B] number
[C] shape
[D] weight
60. The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors’ nests most probably because .
[A] her nest is not big enough
[B] she cannot protect all her eggs
[C] she cannot tolerate all her eggs
[D] her nest is not comfortable enough
Part B
Directions:
Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today’s single women. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Timothy Constance
What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn’t have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend – a soul mate – someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn’t seem to be the case that these women were looking fro super high-achieving men.
Grise Levison
I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you’d want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.
Marry Brown
In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men “out there” who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them.
Donna smith
I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren’t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own indivial pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.
Elizabeth Budy
I think that people who have done at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It’s also true that they’re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in ecation and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.
Now match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
61. Timothy Constance [A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.
62. Grise Levison [B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage.
63. Marry Brown [C] How to balance career with family is key to success.
64. Donna Smith [D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.
65. Elizabeth Budy [E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn’t a piece of cake.
[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.
[G] Social assistance is needed for today’s single women.

There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female’s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.

Part B
Directions:
Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today’s single women. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Timothy Constance
What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn’t have to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend – a soul mate – someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn’t seem to be the case that these women were looking fro super high-achieving men.
Grise Levison
I think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you’d want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.
Marry Brown
In recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men “out there” who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them.
Donna smith
I think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren’t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own indivial pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.
Elizabeth Budy
I think that people who have done at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It’s also true that they’re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in ecation and earning power, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.
Now match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
61. Timothy Constance [A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.
62. Grise Levison [B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable marriage.
63. Marry Brown [C] How to balance career with family is key to success.
64. Donna Smith [D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.
65. Elizabeth Budy [E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn’t a piece of cake.
[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.
[G] Social assistance is needed for today’s single women.
