大学英语III(2)期末复习指导

四、备考及考试中应注意的问题

大学英语III（2）课程终结考试重在检验考生听、说、读、写、译的综合技能。命题原则是：根据教材所涵盖的交际功能、语言项目以及与教材难度相当的听力和书面语言材料命题，涉及教材内容不少于50%。

学生在平时的学习中，要扎扎实实地学好教材中的内容，认真完成每个单元的学习目标。在备考复习时，要注意熟悉考试的各类题型。

第一部分 听力理解

考题形式与大学英语III（1）相同，有听对话和听短文两部分构成。对话及问题放两遍。在考听力时，学生要充分利用录音中所提供的“读题”时间，进行提前预测。在拿到考题后，应快速浏览题目，并将自己已知的背景知识与将要听到的信息内容联系起来，另外还要特别注意测试题中传递重要信息的关键词，这样就做到了听前心中有数。

这部分要求考生熟悉各个单元中的Listening and Speaking以及Self-Assessment中的所有短文和对话。

第二部分 词汇与结构

这部分要求考生重点掌握Ａ篇短文中的常用词组，课后练习和各个单元Self-Assessment中的词汇与结构（Structure and Vocabulary）部分。

复习面要宽，复习知识点包括： １．时态 ２．语态 ３．语序

４．词汇使用和搭配（习语、动词短语以及动词、名词、形容词与介词、副词的搭配） ５．主谓一致

６．从句有关连接词的选择

７．动词不定式、动名词用法以及意义 ８．比较结构的使用、复杂句型的理解

第三部分 阅读理解

考题形式为多项选择，阅读总量为1000~1200词之间。在考试中做阅读理解题时，阅读速度是非常关键的。而要提高阅读速度，最重要的是在平时就培养好的习惯。如果在平时的学习中总是采取逐词逐句、甚至句句翻译成汉语的细读形式，在考试的有限时间内，很可能没有够的时间读完试卷上的阅读材料。正确的方式是先快速浏览文章的内容，了解大意。在浏览时，注意发现主题句、关键句。浏览后带着需要回答的问题再到文章中的相应部分查寻所需要的信息、事实、细节。在阅读过程中遇到生词不要紧张，不影响答案的索性放过，必须弄清词议的可以根据上下文推测。

第四部分 翻 译

平时学习要坚持翻译练习。翻译练习贵在持之以恒。在复习过程中，一定要多动笔，练理解，练表达、练翻译速度。

考题形式和要求：这部分要求考生翻译的是完整的句子，里面没有偏词、怪词。英翻汉部分实际测试考生的阅读理解能力和基本的中文表达能力，答题时要在忠实于原文的前提下，尽可能把原文的意思用中文表达清楚；汉翻英部分实际测试考生对本学期所学内容中出现的重点句型、词组、搭配的综合掌握。在做翻译时，除了需要注意忠实原文、用词恰当、文字通顺外，还要注意书写工整。

第五部分 写 作

考题形式为有指导性写作。在写作时除了要注意表达思想清楚、文字通顺、结构严谨外，还要注意句子结构有变化，注意使用引出实例（for instance, for example, such as, in particular）、表明顺序（first, second, third, in addition, furthermore, finally）、表明对照（however, but）、表明因果（as a result, therefore）关系的连接词。此外，还需注意书写工整，所写文章应接近试题所要求的字数。

Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Chosse the best answer and circle the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on papyrus (纸草), Europeans used parchment (羊皮纸) for many hundreds of certain young animals. We have learnt some of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.

The Chines first made paper about 2000 years ago. China still has pieces of paper which were made as long ago as that. But Chinese paper was not made from the wood of trees. It was made from the hair-like parts of certain plants.

Paper was not made in southern Europe until about the year 1100. Scandinavia---which now

makes a great deal of the world’s paper---did not begin to make it until 1500. It was a German named Schaeffer who found out that one could make the best paper from trees. After that, the forest countries of Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and the United

States became the most important in papermaking. Today in Finland, which makes the best paper in the world, the paper industry is the biggest in the land. New paper making machines are very big, and they make paper very fast. The biggest machines can make a pieces of paper 300 meters long and six meters wide in one minute. 36. Paper was first made in .

A) China B) Egypt C) Finland D) Canada 37. first made the best paper from trees.

A) A Chinese B) An Egyptian C) A German D) An American

38. Some important facts of European history before 1100 were probably kept on . A) paper made from hair-like parts of certain plants B) paper made from wood of trees C) papyrus D) parchments

39. Canada, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the United States became the most important in papermaking partly due to the fact that . A) they began to use paper early

B) they were able to produce good paper-making machines then C) they had abundant wood reserves for making paper D) they lacked the material for papermaking 40. Paper was made about .

A) the year 1500 B) the year 1400 C) 1100 C) 2000 years ago Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Humans generally spend more time working than do other creatures, but there is greater variability in the degree from one human culture to the next than is seen in the subgroups of any other species. For instance, the average French worker toils for 1,6 hours a year; the average American for 1,957 hours; and the average Japanese, 2,088.

One reason for human diligence is that people, unlike animals, can often override the desire they may feel to slow down. They can drink coffee when they might prefer a nap; or turn on the air-conditioning when the heat might otherwise demand a rest. Many humans are driven to work hard by a singular desire to gather sources far beyond what is required for survival. Squirrels may collect what they need to make it through one winter, but only humans worry about college bills, retirement, or replacing their old tape-recorder for a stereo. It is typically human to accumulate wealth and get more and more.

Much of this exclusive human nature is likely to be the result of cultural training. Anthropologists have found that some tribes that live day to day on the resources they could get generally work only about three hours daily.

Indeed, even the most work-obsessed people have an inborn temptation to slack down, which could explain why sloth ranks as one of the seven deadly sins.

41. According to the passage, humans are hardworking because .

A) they are more intelligent than animals B) they want to enjoy more than just survival C) they are born with a desire to gather wealthD) they need more things to keep basic existence 42. The word “ sloth” in the last sentence means .

A) jealousy B) appetite C) laziness D) pretension

43. The author implies that tribes living only on resources collected .

A) could be happier if they worked longer B) never seem to worry about their future C) have not been conditioned to want more D) are most work-obssessed 44. What is the dominant tone of the passage?

A) Critical. B) Radical. C) Optimistic. D) Straightforward. 45. Which might be the appropriate title of the passage?

A) Culture As Contrary to Nature B) Man’s Trained Desire to Get More C) Sloth, One of the Seven Human Sins C) Difference between Man and Animals Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

One of the loudest voices speaking to us today is the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside posters all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night.

Why spend so much in advertising industry? First of all , advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find many ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it raises status, or attracts love. If the advertising agency can do this beautifully enough, the manufacturer is in comfort.

Also manufacturers find advertising serves them changing their products. If. For one reason or another, some alteration seems called for—how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch (叫卖语)instead of going to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself. The advertising man has to combine the qualities of two most authoritative professions: Church and Medicine. The great skill required of the priests is the skill of getting people to contribute money to something that can never be logically proved. As for medicine. Any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinical treatment but faith healing. His approach enables his patients to believe that he knows exactly what is wrong with them and exactly how to put them right, just as advertising does.

46. What is the purpose of the passage? .

A) To illustrate the cosmetic effect of ads. B) To blame advertisers for noise pollution. C) To show the development in ad industry. D) To expose the tricks by noble professions. 47. What is the function of the 2 nd paragraph? .

A) To explain the distribution of work. B) To introduce ways to appeal buyers. C) To account for the cost of the ad industry. D) To offer examples of cheating professions. 48. Which of the following is true according to the passage? . A) Customer-appeal is the product designers’ job. B) Quality goods do not need attractive images. C) Ads have no effect on consumers. D) Advertising is a kind of faith healing.

49. Real improvement is seldom bother, for .

A) illusion could serve the same purpose. B) society demands can never be satisfied C) established reputations require no change D) designers believe their products are perfect 50. What does the 1 st sentence of the last paragraph imply?

A) Ads could better the image of manufacturers.

B) Manufacturers rely on ads for improving their products. C) Manufacturers decorate their products in ads. D) Ads spare manufacturers’

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

A long, imaginary prose story about people is usually called a novel. It can be about any kind of man, woman, or child. It can be about kings, or newsboys, or criminals, or housewives. The Frenchman, Victor Hugo, wrote his novel Les Miserables about a poor man who stole a loaf of bread to keep from starving. The American Ernest Hemingway, wrote A farewell to Arms about a young American with the Italian army in World War I.

A novel does not merely tell the things that people do. It also tells why they do them. The Red Badge of Courage, by the American, Stephen Crane, tells about a young solder in the War between the States who runs away the first time he is in battle. The book shows why he acted as he did. It describes his mental suffering until he overcomes his fears. Character, action, and motive comp0ose the stuff of which novels are made. And her lies the reason for the novel’s continuing popularity, despite changes in style and technique. People buy novels because they enjoy reading about other people. Alone among the literary forms, the novel satisfies the human craving to know and understand our fellow creatures.

51. The best title for this passage is .

A) The History of Novels B) The Nature of Novels C) The Function of Novels D) The Purpose of Novels 52. The Red Badge of Courage mainly tells the readers about .

A) the cause of the civil war. B) the ways to overcome fears. C) the motive of its author’s plots D) the reason for its hero’s actions 53. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A) The hero of Les Miserables was a thief. B) Novels could be in the form of a poem.

C) Different styles and techniques affect a novel’s appeal. D) Arms in Heminway’s novel refers to hands.

. The word “craving” in the last paragraph means .. A) desire B) greed C) delight D) nurture

55. What is said to be the main reason of novels’ prevalence?

A) They satisfy people’s curiosity. B) They keep using new techniques. C) They cover long time and space. D) They focus on the things people do.

Directions: You are going to hear two short passages. Each passage will be read to you twice. Listen carefully and answer questions 10-15. You have half a minute to look at the questions.

Now listen to the passages and choose the best answers as you listen to the recording.

Passage I

Questions 10 to 12 are based on this passage.

A lot of people believe that at an interview, in order to get the job, a job seeker should always please the interviewer, for example, give the answers that may suit the interviewer. But it is not true. If the job seeker always tries to please the interviewer, her may be thought of as a “yes” man. A man who doesn’t have his own opinion will not be qualified. A job seeker, on the contrary, should please himself, and try to be free—free to express, to agree or to disagree, in a friendly way. At an interview, employers may either like you or dislike you, but at least you’ll make an impression. The worst thing is leaving no impression on the interviewer. So don’t be afraid to disagree—in a pleasant way.

Remember this advice before you start preparing an interview, you will certainly succeed in an interview and finally get the job you want!

Passage II

Questions 13 to 15 are based on this passage.

Because of its high academic reputation, admission to Cambridge University is highly competitive. Only about a third of the applicants are admitted, and most overseas students already have a good degree from a university in their own country.

Almost all undergraduate students are required to study a complete Cambridge degree course, which usually lasts two, three or more years.

The cost of study in Cambridge is very expensive. For UK students, the tuition is decided by the government; oversees students, however, need to show that they can meet the cost.

Cambridge will celebrate its eight hundredth anniversary in 2009. A brighter future is waiting for this old famous university.

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer and circle the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Here are some of the many different ways in which different societies with different cultures behave in addition to making introductions, greetings and saying goodbye.

Firstly there is smiling. In some societies, people smile a lot. In others, they don’t. When it comes to laughing, the differences are even greater in some places. It is quite common for people to laugh at misfortunes. If someone falls and hurts himself, people nearby may laugh. Or a person may laugh when telling others about the death of a friend or a relative. In other societies, such behavior may seem quite shocking.

Then there is the custom of giving gifts. In Western countries, gifts are usually given on

birthdays and at Christmas, to one’s relatives and close friends. These gifts must be opened in front of the person who is giving them, and that person must be thanked at that time. In Asia, on the other hand, things are quite different. When gifts are given, they are usually put aside. Asians are more likely to give gifts to their teachers than are Europeans and Americans.

Finally, there is sharing food. Here the difference between different societies can be very great. In some countries, such as in the Pacific Islands, it is customary to cook too much food for the family at each meal, in case a visitor comes. On the other hand, Europeans do not visit each other at the meal time, unless they have been especially invited for a meal. 36. The different customs mentioned here are .

A) only the most crucial ones B) just a few good examples C) quite exclusive illustrations D) no more than funny ones 37. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A) Laughing custom varies from culture to culture, but smiling does not. B) No culture allows people to laugh at a person’s misfortune.

38. The phrase “put aside” in the 3rd paragraph means . A) reserved for later opening B) deposited in a safer place C) ignored for the time being D) kept with great appreciation 39. It cold be inferred from the passage that . A) teachers in Asia enjoy greater love from students. B) American students seldom apple-polish their teachers.

C) Asian students are traditionally more obedient and respectful.

D) Asian teachers get more gifts than their European counterparts from their students.

40. Why is it customary in the Pacific Islands for a family to cook too much food at each meal? A) Because they always invite people to their meals. B) Because the visitors usually come at the meal time. C) Because the family doesn’t want to appear unfriendly. D) Because they want to get ready for any unexpected guests. Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Television in the Western countries is very commercially oriented. Many TV shows are paid by companies who advertise their products during the shows. Thus a large portion of the showing is commercial watching. This means people are often being told to buy things they do not really need. Many people from other cultures find the commercials on TV annoying, but the Western people seem quite used to the constant barrage (火力齐射), and many learn to tune it out. Some use commercials as a break-time from television. Others try to enjoy rather than endure them. But nobody is immune to the effects of TV commercials. Many viewers know commercial jingles and slogans by heart.

The quality of commercials varies considerably. Some are extremely annoying and

insulting: advertisers feel that these are nevertheless effective. Making an impression and being memorable both help sell products. Some are really persuasive and attractive.

Consumers often complain about the content of commercials. And some advertisers do take action to improve them. For example, the portrayal of women as either housewives or sex objects has come under fire and advertisers are slowly moving away from these images. Children’s toy

commercials are also criticized for their vigorous and effective way of sales techniques. This, too, has been given considerable attention to. Most people, however, have realized that advertisers are supporting the television industry and that commercials are the price we have to pay. 41. What is the 1st paragraph mainly about? A) Everybody in the West is affected by TV commercials. B) The western world is deadly controlled by commercials. C) Some people enjoy TV commercials while others hate them. D) Commercial jingles and slogans are easy to remember by heart. 42. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A) Most commercials are not impressive and memorable.

C) Commercials are the price we have to pay for television industry. D) Commercials are to be enjoyed rather than endured. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

British people eat too much sausage, eggs, steak and butter. That has been a

well-known fact for at least three decades. And for almost as long, there have been health alternatives to these delicious foods. Ever since the early 1970s, there have been imitation eggs, fake sausages and vegetarian bacon. The only problem is that they are not as tasty as the real things.

In these foods, vegetable oil is blended with spices and ingredients such as glue, jelly,

sawdust and beans. It’s very difficult to imitate the wonderful taste of a juicy, meaty cheeseburger, and people know it. So people have to come to think of them as the kind of food only a heart-attack victim would eat after a warning by his doctor.

But if these foods can be widely popular, it could be a major business success. This is

what the manufacturers of Gardenburger are trying to do. They are producing a kind of healthy burger.

This kind of burger is targeted mainly towards women. We can see this clearly from

the advertisement for the burger. It appeared in a women’s fashion magazine. And the name of the burger is also very cute, which appeals to women. But does that make you feel like a Gardenburger?

46. What does the passage say about British people?

A) They don’t do enough physical exercise. B) They take in too much animal protein and fat. C) Milk substitutes are not welcome to them. D) Their foods are not really tasty though healthy. 47. The word alternatives in the first paragraph refers to .

A) sausages, eggs, steak and butter B) spices for taste C) food ingredients D) imitation foods 48. What is Gardenburger?

A) It’s a very healthy kind of cheese. B) It’s a kind of hamburger for gardeners. C) It’s a women’s fashion for gardeners. D) It’s a brand of vegetarian burger. 49. Which of the following is true about the healthy alternatives?

A) They are almost as juicy and meaty. B) They are not as tasty as the real things. B) They are only for heart attack sufferers. D) They are extremely appealing to women. 50. What seems to be the author’s attitude towards the Gardenburger? A) Critical. B) Doubtful. C) Appreciative. D) Cautious. Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

International companies are finding it increasingly important to develop brand names that can be used in a wide range of countries. To have a product with a single, universally recognized name can lead to major savings in design, production, and promotion costs, especially now that satellite television has made world advertising a reality in such contexts as major sporting events. Also, from a legal point of view, an international trademark has a clearer status than a national one, in case of dispute. It is said that more time is spent deciding on the name of a new product than on any other aspects of its development. The problem is not easily solved. In the European Economic Community alone, there are over 5 million registered trade marks, and inventing a new name that does not conflict with existing practice is a highly complex and time-consuming process. Several hundred names may need to be proposed, each of which has to be checked from a linguistic, marketing and legal viewpoint. In such fields as cars, perfumes and soft drinks, thousands of possible names may need to be investigated to find one that is internationally acceptable and registrable.

51. Band names have to fulfill the following features except for being . A) single. B) recognized widely. C) related to sports. D) legal. 52. A well-chosen brand name can lead directly to .

A) beautiful designs of products. B) low production cost. C) good labor-management relationship. D) marketing promotion. 53. According to the passage, more time is spent in the product. A) designing B) naming C) producing D) marketing

. According to the author, it is to develop brand names for cars, perfumes and soft drinks.

A) necessary B) time-consuming C) increasingly important D) acceptable 55. The main topic of this passage is .

A) international brand names B) significance of sports in marketing C) differences of languages D) marketing strategies

Passage One

Ouestions 10 to 12 are based on this passage.

We cannot feel speed. But our senses let us know that we are moving. We see things moving past us and feel that we are being overtaken. We can feel acceleration, an increase in speed. But we notice it for only a short time. For instance, we feel it during the take-off run of an airliner. We feel the plane’s acceleration because our bodies do not gain speed as fast as the lane does. It seems that something is pushing us back against the seat. Actually, our bodies are trying to stay in the same place while the plane is carrying us forward. Soon the plane reaches a steady speed. Then, because there is no longer any change is speed, the feeling of forward motion stops. Question 10. How can we know we are moving? Question 11. What is acceleration?

Question 12. What do you feel during a take-off of a plane?

Passage Two

Questions 13 to 15 are based on this passage.

Have you ever had a day when everything seems to go wrong? Ms Fox had one of these days. First, her clock failed to wake her up on time to leave enough time for her dressing and breakfast. When she rushes for her car, the car key was nowhere to be found. She looked all over her house and turned everything upside down before she finally found it in her mailbox.

By the time Ms Fox got to her office, she was all worn out. The moment she sank into her chair, she found a note on her desk. It read: “Please finish this work in one hour.” Ms Fox was almost anxious to tears. Then she began to laugh instead: She had put two different kinds of socks on her feet.

Question 13. What kind of day did Ms Fox have?

Question 14. What did Ms Fox do after finishing her breakfast? Question 15. Why did Ms Fox laugh?
