大学英语三级考试题阅读题1
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.
Cars are an important part of life in the United States. Without a car most people feel that they are poor. And even if a person is poor he doesn't feel really poor when he had a car.
Henry Ford was the man who first started making cars in large numbers. He probably didn't know how much the car was going to affect American culture. The car made the United Stated a nation on wheels. And it helped make the United States what it is today.
There are three main reasons why the car become so popular in the United States. First of all, the country is a huge one and Americans like to move around in it. The car provides the most comfortable and cheapest form of transportation. With a car people can go anyplace without spending a lot of money.
The second reason cars are popular is the fact that the United States never really developed an efficient and inexpensive form of public transportation. Long-distance trains have never been as common in the country as they are in other parts of the world. Nowadays there is a good system of air-service provided by planes. But it is too expensive to be used frequently.
The third reason is the most important one, though. The American spirit of independence is what really made cars popular. Americans don't like to wait for a bus, or a train or even a plane. They don' t like to have to follow an exact schedule. A car gives them the freedom to schedule their own time. And this is the freedom that Americans want most to have.
The gas shortage has caused a big problem for Americans. But the answer will not be a bigger system of public transportation. The real solution will have to be a new kind of car, one that does not use so much gas.
41. Most Americans feel they are poor when they ________.
A) have no job
B) have no food
C) have no money
D) have no car
42. Henry Ford was the first to ________ cars in large numbers.
A) invent
B) sell
C) have
D) produce
43.“A nation on wheels”means that ________.
A) the country is producing the best cars in the world
B) everyone in this country owns a car
C) cars play a very important role in people' lives
D) there are more cars than trains in this country
44. With a car people can go ________ easily.
A) anywhere
B) to anyplace
C) to anywhere
D) any place
45. The real solution to the gas shortage problem is ________.
A) to make less cars
B) to develop a public transportation system
C) to make gas-saving cars
D) to develop train service

题目：According to some surveys done by the Ministry of Education, there are about 153 million illiterates and semi-illiterates in China. Its illiteracy rate in the western region is much higher than the country's average level and it is as high as 40 percent. The rate for the country's whole population stands at 14 percent. Write an essay of about 120 words, stating your opinion about this issue now confronting China.

「参考范文」
The task of educating a huge population can be challenging to any country. Though China has shown great concern and done much in education, and in eliminating illiteracy, it still has 153 million illiterate and semi-illiterate citizens, according to some statistics issued by the Ministry of Education. So, in my opinion, raising China's education level, to a large extent, depends on greater educational achievement in its vast western region and some other backward areas.
In the past decade, China has moved to combat illiteracy and promote nine years of compulsory schooling, especially in poor areas and areas inhabited by minorities, and has achieved a great success, but it seems a difficult task in regions where educational opportunities are limited. However, we should set a target that, by 2010, nine-year compulsory schooling should be realized and the illiteracy rate among young and middle-aged *s should be reduced to the minimum. Only in this way can China raise its national educational level.
教育人口众多的任务是很有挑战性的任何国家。虽然*已经表现出极大的关注和做了很多教育，并在消除文盲，它仍然有1.53亿文盲，半文盲的公民，根据教育部颁布的一些统计数据。所以，在我看来，*提高的教育水*，在很大程度上，取决于更大的教育成果在广大西部地区和其他一些落后的地区。
在过去的十年中，*已经转移到扫盲，促进九年义务教育的学校教育，尤其是贫困地区和****地区，并取得了巨大的成功，但它似乎在地区一项艰巨的任务，其中教育的机会是有限的。但是，我们应该设定，到2010年，九年义务教育应该认识到，在青年和中年的成年人文盲率的目标应减少到最低限度。只有这样，才能提高*的****水*。

题目：A survey conducted in Tianjin found that 98% of high school students and 92% of elementary school students have to spend most of their weekends doing homework.
Write an essay of about 120 words. You may include the following points:
1. Discuss the negative effects of too much homework on children.
2. Discuss the disadvantages of the present exam-oriented education system.
3. Call for efforts to ease students' burden and help them lead a colorful and enjoyable life.

1.讨论功课太多对儿童的负面影响。
2.讨论目前应试教育体制的弊端。
3.呼吁努力减轻学生的负担，帮助他们过一个丰富多彩，愉快的生活。
「参考范文」
Too much homework has become a common complaint in high schools and elementary schools. Students have to spend most of their time doing homework, even on weekends. As a result, they have no time for their hobbies, or for their parents or friends. All they do is what they have to do, not what they like to do. The underlying cause for this phenomenon lies in the present exam-oriented education system. National College Entrance Examination has become the sole focus of teachers, parents, and students themselves. High score becomes the ultimate goal, to the neglect of practical abilities, personality development, and all that.
It is urgent that we deepen our educational reform. We must allow for students' overall development, not just evaluate their test scores.
太多的功课已成为高中和小学一个常见的抱怨。学生不得不花大部分时间做功课，即使是在周末。其结果是，他们没有时间为自己的爱好，或为他们的父母或朋友。他们做的是什么，他们所要做的，不是自己喜欢做的事情。
造成这种现象的根本原因在于目前应试教育体制。全国高考已经成为教师，家长和学生自己的唯一焦点。高分成为终极目标，以实践能力，个性发展的忽视，以及所有。
这是我们迫切需要深化教育教学**。我们必须考虑到学生的全面发展，而不是仅仅评估他们的考试成绩。

当凯瑞斯·威斯特76岁去世时，一门语言也消失了。威斯特俗称“红色雷电雨”，是说**本土语言卡托巴的最后一个人。20世纪40年代。任何人想要听到卡托巴的各种歌曲可以联系在华盛顿哥伦比亚特区的史密森学会。“红色雷电雨”为未来几代人录制了一系列的歌曲。有些人可能用心想尝试学习一些歌曲。这些都是卡托巴语所留下的。人们曾用的语言永远消失了。
我们都意识到现代工业给世界生态带来的危险，但是却很少有人意识到被广泛使用的语言对其他语言和生活方式的影响。英语已经遍布世界，中文、西班牙语、俄语和印地语也已经成为强势的语种。随着这些语言变得日益强大，他们作为工具在商业和文化中的作用也会增强。当这一切发生时，成百上千种的稀有语言将会消失。
学者们认为，世界约有6000种语言，但是一半以上的语言可能在未来100年内消失。这已有太多的例子：阿拉基语是瓦努阿图小岛上人们使用的语言，该岛位于太*洋。只有很少年**才会讲这种语言。和卡托巴语一样，阿拉基语很快就会消失;埃塞俄比亚的许多语言也会面临同样的`命运，因为每一种语言只有极少数的人在使用。很少有人把这些语言当作母语。在美洲的100种语言中，每一种语言的使用者不超过300人。它们正在消失。
红色雷电云是第一个认识到语言消亡的危险并试图挽救的人。实际上。他并不是出生于卡托巴族，该语言也不是他的母语。然而，他是南卡罗来纳州卡托巴保护区的常客，在那里他学会了这种语言。他为史密森学会演唱歌曲使**本土音乐得以流行。现在他走了，该语言也消失了。
一种语言消失对我们来说意味着什么?当一种植物、昆虫或动物死了，我们很容易明白它对自然界的*衡带来的损失以及它对自然界意味着什么。然而，语言只是思想的产物。像红色雷电云一样，作为最后一个掌握一门语言的幸存者，必定有着特别孤独的宿命，就如同某一物种
的唯一幸存者一样奇怪和可怕。而对于我们其他人来说，当一种语言消失。我们就失去了以其独特的方式观察和描述世界的可能性。

范文 As an Chinese old saying goes, "Take your hand, and hold it forever. " It is a good wish for an eternal and beautiful love. It comes true in a city in southeast of China.
Pan Tianci and Gao Di, who were born in the early 1900s, now are in their 90s. This year is the 80th year since they got married, which is called the oak marriage. Oak is the tallest tree in the world, so people use it as name of a long and happy marriage.

countries were in need of HIV treatment last year. However, by the end of the year, just over thirty percent of them were getting it.

Price reductions can be a main method to let more people with HIV, including more pregnant women, receive the drugs. Also, delivery systems should be redesigned to better serve individual countries and smaller health centers. And treatments should be simpler than in the past.

A Little Girl
Sitting on a grassy grave, beneath one of the windows of the church, was a little girl.
With her head bent back she was gazing up at the sky and singing, while one of her little hands was pointing to a tiny cloud that hovered like a golden feather above her head.
The sun, which had suddenly become very bright, shining on her glossy hair, gave it a metallic luster, and it was difficult to say what was the color, dark bronze or black.
So completely absorbed was she in watching the cloud to which her strange song or incantation seemed addressed, that she did not observe me when I rose and went towards her.
Over her head, high up in the blue, a lark that was soaring towards the same gauzy cloud was singing, as if in rivalry.
As I slowly approached the child, I could see by her forehead, which in the sunshine seemed like a globe of pearl, and especially by her complexion, that she uncommonly lovely.
Her eyes, which at one moment seemed blue-gray, at another violet, were shaded by long black lashes, curving backward in a most peculiar way, and these matched in hue her eyebrows, and the tresses that were tossed about her tender throat were quivering in the sunlight.
All this I did not take in at once; for at first I could see nothing but those quivering, glittering, changeful eyes turned up into my face.
Gradually the other features, especially the sensitive full-lipped mouth, grew upon me as I stood silently gazing.
Here seemed to me a more perfect beauty than had ever come to me in my loveliest dreams of beauty.
Yet it was not her beauty so much as the look she gave me that fascinated me, melted me.
