Part 2 Compound dictation

(每小题:4 分)

Directions: Listen to the passage three times. When the

passage is read for the first time, listen for the general idea.

When the passage is read for the second time, fill in the blanks

numbered from S1 to S7 with the exact words you hear. For

blanks numbered from S8 to S10, write down either the exact

words you hear or the main points in your own words. When

the passage is read for the third time, check your answers.

Questions 1 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Most social scientists believe that the sports that are organized by a society generally reflect

the basic (S1)values

of that society and attempt to strengthen them in the minds and

emotions of its people. Therefore, organized sports have a more serious social

(S2)purpose

than spontaneous, unorganized play by individuals. This is certainly

(S3)ture

in the United States, where the three most popular organized sports are

football, basketball, and baseball. (S4)Nowhere

are the ways and words of democracy

better illustrated than in sports. Organized sports are seen by Americans as an inspiring

example of (S5)equlity

of opportunity in action. In sports, people of different

(S6)races

and economic backgrounds get an equal chance to excel. For this reason,

notes sociologist Harry Edwards, Americans view organized sports as "a (S7)

laboratory

in which young men, regardless of social class, can learn the advantages and rewards of a competitive system".

(S8)

Although

. Women's sports are growing in popularity in the United States, and they now have more funding and support at the college level than in the past. The 1996 Olympics provided evidence of the increased interest in women's organized sports. American women won gold medals for several team sports—softball, basketball, soccer, and gymnastics. The idea of competition is at the very heart of organized sports in the United States.

新视野第三册1单元测试(含答案)

新视野第三册1单元测试(本单元配有答案)Part 1 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题:4 分) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good. I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didn't teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes. We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is important in helping the second generation establish their identity. 1.Which people are having trouble with language? A. Natives. B. People of the 2nd generation.

新视野大学英语三级模拟试题及答案 Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) Directions: In this section, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly. For questions 1–7, markY (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. For questions 8–10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Youth of Today —No savings, no pension, huge debts — Leaving school or university means financial independence — but does it also mean debt? Some experts say the young should take some care. It is life, but not as we know it. As this year’s school leavers and graduate s in Britain move on to further education or work, tasting financial independence for the first time, they show signs of being entirely different to previous generations in their attitudes to money, according to information collected by Cash. Used to debt but more affluent than previous generations, the current crop of 16- to 24-year-olds is a complex sector of society. But if they can handle their debts, these 7.5 million young adults have the potential to become quite sophisticated on money matters. Cash looked for the financial hallmarks of this group. They are going to be big spenders and will be targeted heavily by retailers. “The market for products and services aimed at this group has continued to thrive,” concludes research organization Mintel in its recent report for retailers “Selling to and Profi ting from the Under 25s”. This is “partly because the period during which people are young, free and single, unencumbered (不受妨碍的)by parents and /or children has expanded to the late twenties and early thirties,”it says. While 13 percent of the population regularly pays their utility(公共设施), credit card and other bills late, this proportion rises to a remarkable 64 percent for 18- to 24-year-olds, according to research conducted among 1,000 adults by https://www.doczj.com/doc/2e3942338.html,. In theory, this suggests that more than 4 million of them are heading for such poor credit ratings that they will find it difficult to borrow in the future. But lenders may become more flexible in their lending terms rather than lose out on this huge sector of the consumer market. Nearly one in three (28 percent) of people under 35 “do not consider their future financial position”, according to research from Accenture H R Services. Although half of 18- to 25-year-olds want to own their home some day, they see almost insurmountable hurdles, according to Mintel: “For those who had not yet bought their own property, the prospect of trying to do so seemed daunting — if not impossible —financially.” Or could it be that their future prosperity will depend on whether they inherit property from their parents? They regard as necessities many items which were seen as luxuries by their parents at the same age. More than nine out of 10 have their own mobile phone. “Some looked on their phone as a kind of security blanket, feeling lost without it,” says Mintel. A car is seen as “vital” by 64 percent
