公共英语三级考试成绩快速提高方法指点

考试时间临近时，通过大批量阅读提高已经不可能了，把握好解题技巧，往往能让同学们锦上添花。PETS的阅读理解有主旨题、态度题、数字题、推理题、因果题、例证题、指代题等类型。

主旨题分段落主旨题或文章主旨题。对于段落主旨题，建议同学们仔细阅读段首句和段尾句，百分之六七十的题目看段首和段尾，就能找出段落主旨。文章主旨题还应看些重要句，它通常出现在首段首句、末段末句、二段首句和各段首末句，是文章的中心思想。对主旨题，我们强调的是位置择题，迅速准确定位答案所在位置，而非全文通读，这样能节约时间。

例证题通常从原文截取，问例子证明什么道理，它要么例证段落主题，要么例证文章主题。因此我们可以把例证题变成主旨题，段落主旨或文章主旨往往就是例证题的正确答案。

2、PETS三级写作：热点话题要重点准备

PETS考试借鉴了雅思的基本模式，在PETS三级、四级考试中往往会考应用文写作和议论文大作文。应用文写作格式不正确是很多同学失分的最主要原因。应用文写作程式化强，考生可以提前背诵一些应用文写作的基本句型，积累有关句型句式，注意应用文写作中的套话。应用文写作常考信件写作，如辞职信、投诉信、感谢信、表扬信、会议备忘录等都是考生应重点把握的。

议论文大作文在形式上可能是图画作文、图表作文或提纲式作文。近年议论文考试热点话题也成为考试重点。如环保问题、污染问题、教育类话题、网络话题，偶尔会考一些犯罪类的话题，这两年考生要注意和谐社会的主题。至于和谐社会下面衍生什么样的作文题，应该值得同学们思考。

议论文写作要注意卷面整洁。卷子是给改卷老师看的，应考虑到改卷老师的感受，卷面一定要整洁，不宜有墨汁、鼻涕、口水之类的东西，给老师印象不好，分数很难高。要注意写字工整。有同学爱写英文狂草，把R和N写成M，给改卷老师出了难题，让他去辨认你的字迹，辨认你说的是什么意思。大家一定要注意字迹工整好认。有的同学密密麻麻写了一行小字，“请见背面”，这是作文大忌，不能在正面写不下，在背面再写下去。现在不提倡这种写作。第一种可能是超字数太多了，会成为扣分的原因。第二种可能是作弊，如果被扣上这个大帽子，更不划算。希望大家尽量不要在答题纸的背面写作文。

议论文写作时，建议学生为了获得高分或者稳定的分数，写三段论，提出问题、分析问题、解决问题。中国老师教学生的时候，往往要求学生写三段，写五六段，七八段，改卷老师就不知道这是哪个老师教出来的学生，心里就发毛了。最多写四段，建议最好写三段。

议论文写作开头一定要吸引人。开头如果吸引不住老师的眼球，分数不会太高。第一句话如何写得漂亮，要看平时积累。写作中要长短结合，个人观点，希望同学们对于议论文第一段的第一句写一个长难句，长难句会把老师的眼光牢牢吸引。如果写长难句的话，老师比较佩服你或者赞同你，第一个句子最好写一个长难句。假如写了简单句的话，可以写as far as I know，如果加上这句话就体现了我们使用从句的能力，尽管似乎是废话，但是立刻使你的第一段首句写得与众不同。

如果有可能的话，在最后的时间里同学们可以找一些和热点话题有关的素材、句子背一下，把最后时刻背诵的句子巧妙运用到考试作文写作当中去。

同学们在市面上可以找些相应的写作模板，模板不是万能的，但没有模板是万万不能的，同学们可以把市面模板改编成自己的文章。建议考生在写作方面背十个左右优秀的句子，应用文写作和议论文写作背诵十个句子，看一下考试过程中能不能使用。即使这十个句子不能都用上，考试过程当中能用上三个四个五个也算成功。

3、PETS三级完型填空：把握特点好作题

完型填空这种题型在PETS考试当中叫英语知识应用。传统题型都叫完型填空，英语知识应用体现了PETS考试对英语的新要求、新主张。学生们有一个误区，认为把握了语法，掌握了单词就可以把完型填空做好。如果说80年代这样做可以的话，现在21世纪，这种思想就落伍了。

对于完型填空，第一点要明白完型填空本身的特点，完型填空没有更多的生词，不像阅读理解，阅读理解还有一定的生单词。是在考单词的用法，而不是在考单词的意思。

第二要注意完型填空基本的解题思路，作文填空过程当中，希望同学们注意褒贬色彩相一致。一般来说高度一致原则是完型填空的基本准则，我们说话的时候不能说“不幸的是我又通过了PETS考试”，这句话在完型填空上，就是个严重的语病。不能说“我又一次遭到老师的表扬”，不能说“这个时代或者这个国家以贫穷而著称于世”。还有很多原则希望同学们慢慢再去摸索。

PETS听力各级别语速不一样，一级、一级B、二级，语速为每分钟80词，较简单。一级B重复两遍，一级、二级一遍。有长对话、短对话，篇章的形式。口语部分从一级到五级都是两个考官对两个学生，每个级别要求都不一样。两个学生对两个考官，每个学生都有一次提问和回答别人问题的机会。老师可以根据他们的发音和组织语言的能力，给出相应评分。从三级到五级开始有辩论。

4、口试：说话不多不少最合适

首先要熟悉各个级别的口语考试程序，一般情况是跟老师简单打招呼，老师会根据你的情况提出两到三个问题。第二项，可能会给个表格，让你根据图片答题或提问。这是两个过程，一个是给你图片的时候让你答，一个是给你图片的时候让你问。不管跟你一起考试的伴儿跟你配合得如何，千万不能因为他影响你的正常发挥。PETS二级以上开始有随机性的问题，根据所答篇目，每个步骤每个级别有严格的时间限制，一个问题没有答出来，千万不要影响其他五个问题的发挥。

做口语过程当中希望大家注意到一点，说话不能特别少，如果说话特少的话，你就处于比较被动的状态，老师可能评分比较难一些。对你能不能过这个考试就成了个问号。第二个，说话过多也不是一件很好的事。如果说话过多的话，会暴露组织语言的用词、语法等等问题。大家在做PETS口试时，建议大家还是要在口语老师的指点之下，多背一些经典的模板，不会的时候可以让他去重复，用英语去说都可以。切忌冷场什么都不说。口语考试非常有模式，老师口语考官问学生问题的时候是绝对不能超出这个模式的，严格按照所给的指令进行提问，希望大家在考试之前要多做口语考试练习，多背一些客套话，在辩论的时候应该怎么样去找切入点去提出你的问题，回答时怎样用有用句转换话题，把包袱扔给对方，这些技巧希望大家多注意一些。

5、听力：技巧尽在多听多练中

对于听力，大家要注意，听懂与听不懂最关键的，可能就在于一个句子中的单词不认识。因为在句子当中，可能会出现连读、失爆、吞音等状态。平常在听的时候要注意模仿，背诵一些有用的句型。如果短期内提高听力有难度，平常要多注意认真去听带子，模仿带子，听任何东西都是要先听，再去看，先培养听的感觉，打开看一下，跟你听的有什么差异，再合上书去练，反复去练。读句子中的连读、失爆、吞音等要注意简单的语音知识。考生可以一个题型一个题型进行练习。短对话、长对话以及篇章等等。

大家在听的过程中一定要先做题，看看哪个地方没听懂，反复听，看能不能听会。注意在听的过程中，什么影响你作选项了。听力中，也有解题技巧和方式。听长对话时，可能会出现but，如果前面没听懂或没听清楚，突然听到but出现，可能这个后面的句子就是某道题选择的答案句。大家在技巧和方法方面一定要多听多熟悉。

What makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don’t yet(1)C for? The answer is simple ： People read newspaper stories for a reason： to leam more about(2)C they are interested in.Computers, on the other hand, don’t.In fact, computers don’t(3)B have interests； there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read.If a computer(4)Ais to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a “purpose”.Of course，people have several goals that do not make(5)Bto attribute tocomputers1.One might read a restaurant guide(6)C order to satisfy hunger or

The history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years.In 1791，Count de Sivrac(1)A onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention, a machine called the celerifere.It was basically an(2)D version of a children’s toy which had been in(3)A for many years.Sivrac，s celeriferehad a wooden frame, made in the(4)B oi a horse, which was mounted on a wheel at either end1.To ride it, you sat on a small seat，just like a modern bicycle, and pushed(5)D against the(6)B with your legs — there were no pedals.It was impossible to steer a celerifere and it had no brakes, but despite these problems the invention very much(7)B to the fashionable young men of Paris.Soon they were(8)C races up and down the streets.Minor(9)Cwere common as riders attempted a final burst of2(10)D.Controlling the machine was difficult, as the only way to change(11)A was to pull up the front of the “celerifere” and(12)C it round while the front wheel was(13)D in the air.“Celerifer6s” were not popular for long, however, as the(14)C of no springs, no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable.Even so，the wooden celerifere was the(15)A of the modem bicycle.5.Working Mothers

Sometime in the middle of the 15th century, a well-to-do merchant from London buried more than 6,700 gold and silver coins on a sloping, hillside in Surrey.He was fleeing the War of the Ro-ses and planned to return during better times.But he never did.The coins lay undisturbed until one September evening in 1990, when local resident Roger Mintey chanced upon them with a metal de-tector, a device used to determine the presence of metals.Mintey's find much of.which now sits in the British Museum-earned him roughly $350,000, enough to quit his job with a small manu-facturer and spend more time pursuing lost treasure.But digging up the past is controversial in Britain.In many European countries, metal detecto-fists, or people using metal detectors, face tough regulations.In the U.K., however, officials in-troduced a scheme in 1997 encouraging hobbyists to report their discoveries(except for those fall-ing under the definition of treasure, like Mintey's find, which they are required to report)--but al-lowing them to keep what they find, or receive a reward.Last year, a hidden store was uncovered

in a field outside Birmingham.It consists of more than 1,500 gold and silver objects from the sev-enth century and was valued at more than $4.5 million.While local museums hurry to raise enough money to keep the find off the open market, it sits in limbo, owned by the Crown but fa-cing claims by the landowner and the metal detectorist who found it.The find marks the latest battleground in the increasingly heated conflict between the country's 10,000-20,000 metal detectorists and the museum workers determined to protect its precious old objects.Supporters say the scheme stems the loss of valuable information about precious old ob-jects, while opponents argue that metal detectorists don't report everything.The debate centers on the larger question of who owns the past.“There's been a slow move over the centuries that precious old things belong to us all,” says Professor Christopher Chippindale of Cambridge University.But in Britain at least, the temptation of buried treasure could change all that.46.According to the first paragraph, the coins in Surrey were

A.worth roughly $350,000 B.possessed by a local resident

C.unearthed about 500 years ago

D.left by a merchant during a war

47.What do we know about Roger Mintey?

A.are rewarded for whatever they find

B.are forced to obey tough regulations

C.may keep what they have discovered

D.should report whatever they discover

49.As for the find outside Birmingham, it is still unclear

A.how much it is worth

B.how it was discovered

C.who is entitled to it

D.what it is made up of

50.According to Professor Christopher Chippindale, buried treasure

A.is owned by the public

B.is debated in a heated way

C.remains a big temptation

D.turns precious over time 2015年3月全国英语等级考试三级真题及答案

Part A

Text 1

在15世纪中期，一位来自伦敦的富有商人将6700多枚金币和银币埋藏在萨里的一座倾斜的山坡里。他当时在躲避玫瑰战争，打算在战争结束时再返回，但是他却没能回来。这些金银币一直藏在地下，直到1990年九月的一个夜晚，当地的一位居民Roger Mintey偶然间用一种探测金属的仪器发现了它们。Mintey发现的金银币大约价值35万美金(大部分硬币现保存在大不列颠博物馆)，这笔钱足够他辞去小工厂的工作并继续搜寻剩下的宝藏。

但是这种挖掘在当时的英国是备受争议的。在许多欧洲国家，金属探测者或使用金属探测器的人都将面临严厉的法律制裁。然而，l997年

英国官方颁布了一项新制度，鼓励爱好者们上报他们的发现(除了那些属于宝藏范围内的物品，Mintey的发现就属于此范围，必须上报)，但允许他们拥有发现的物品或上报赢得奖励。去年，在伯明翰郊外发现了一处隐秘的仓库。该仓库中藏有1500多件7世纪的金制品和银制品，价值高达450多万美元。正当当地的博物馆急着筹集资金去购买这些制品以免其流入市场时，它的归属权还在争论，其皇族拥有者遭到了土地拥有者及发现者的指责。

这些被发现的物品激发了英国l至2万金属探测者和博物馆力图保护文物的工作人员之间的白热化的战争。支持者认为此制度阻止了珍贵文物的流失，而反对者认为金属探测者们不会上报所有东西。这场争论的重点在于到底谁应该拥有历史遗产。剑桥大学的Chris—topherChippindale教授说道，“过去几个世纪以来，人们渐渐开始认为这些珍贵的文物属于我们所有人”。但是至少在英国，这些埋葬的宝藏诱惑着很多人，从而改变了一切。

46．D【精析】细节题。关于萨里的硬币，从文章第一段第一、二句“„awell—to—do merchant from London buried more than 6，700．．．He was fleeing the War of the Roses„”可知，这些硬币是被一位商人在战争中留下的，D正确。由第一段最后一句“Mintey’s find--much ofwhich now sits in the British Museum--eamed him roughly$350．000„spend more time pursuing lost treasure．”可知Mintey发现的金银币大约值三十五万美元，但他并没有发现全部的，题干问的是埋在底下的全部金币的信息，所以A不正确；第一段没有提及归属权的问题，故8错误；由第一段开头可知，金币是在15世纪中期(大约l650年左右)埋藏的，l990年发现，中间大约340年左右，故C不正确。综上所述，故选D。

47．D【精析】推断题。由文章第一段可知，Mintey只是使用金属探测器发现了金币，并不是他发明了金属探测器，故A不正确。由第一段最后一句可知，Mintey是在一家工厂工作，并不是拥有一家工厂，故B、C不正确。从文章第一段最后两句可知，Roger Mintey是偶然间用金属探测器发现的并且他在一家小工厂工作，第二段第三句也提到政府鼓励爱好者上报他们的发现，并举了Mintey的例子，由此可推断Mintey只是将此作为爱好，故选D。

48．C【精析】细节题。根据第二段第三句“In the U．K．，however，offi—cials introduced a scheme in l997 encouraging hobbyists to repoa their discoveries(„)一but allowing them to keep what they find．Or receive a reward．”可知，在英国，政府出台政策鼓励人们上报发现的物品，但是允许他们拥有，故选c。

49．C【精析】推断题。根据文章第二段最后一句“While local muse umshurry to raise enough money to keep the find off the open market，it sits in limb0，owned by the Crown but facing claims by the landowner and the metal detectorist who find it．”可知，关于该宝藏的归属权还在争论中，故选C。

50．A【精析】细节题。从文章最后一段第二句“1here’S been a slow more over the centuries that precious old things belong to US all．”可知，这位教授认为这些宝藏或文物是属于大家共有的，故选A。

Every year for more than a decade I've gone with some good male friends to the music festi-val.Women are not invited, but they do prepare a picnic for our trip.The better the food, the more likely we are to continue our annual tradition and give them peace at least one week out of the year.When we're not eating, we sit around in circles and talk about manly stuff: women, mostly.After years of this special journey I have figured out women are different from us, especially when it comes to how we communicate.Women don't need to manufacture reasons to chat, but guys need excuses like outings or organized events.And I've noticed that when women are in groups there can be several conversations going on at once.When men are in a group, one man talks, and everybody else listens.It's like bluegrass jamming in a way;one musician plays the lead, and the rest try to follow.I've had more heartfelt conversations with other men at the festival than I've had at any other time in my life, partly because there are no women there, and partly because we're all a little drunk.It was males bonding over whatever parts we still had left.The festival is also the only place I've ever cried in front of other men.As the years have slipped by, some in our group have lost parents and grandparents, some have divorced, and others have changed careers, not always on purpose.It seems that every year something distressing has happened to at least one member of our crew, and the rest of us are there to listen and offer support.I hope that this column can offer some comfort to women: if your man heads out on a bowling or poker night with the guys, be happy.Chances are good he's not fleeing you and the kids, but he's running toward the conversations he can only have with other men, and he'll come home the better for it.51.It is implied in the first paragraph that

A.the trip is a relief for both men and women________

B.the trip will continue in spite of everything

C.the quality of the picnic needs improvement

D.the women can rarely get peace themselves

52.Men and women differ in the way they talk in that________

A.men like to play the lead in conversations

B.women can strike up a talk for any reason

C.men can be engaged in several talks at once

D.women are good listeners in conversations

53.That the author cried in front of other men reveals________

A.the effect of bluegrass music upon men

B.the effect of alcohol on men's behaviors

C.men's need to release their deep emotions

D.men's need to cultivate intimate friendship

54.What is the idea that the author wants to convey in paragraph 5 ?

A.Life is doomed to be full of distresses.B.Changes are the constant theme of life.C.Friendship stays despite changes in life.D.Life consists of sweating and harvesting.55.In the last paragraph, the author advises women to________

A.encourage their husbands to improve their life style

B.encourage their husbands to go bowling or play poker

C.give their husbands chances to flee from housework

D.give their husbands chances for male communication

参考译文

近十几年来，每年我都会和一些男性好友去参加音乐节。我们没有带上妻子，但是她们会为我们的旅途准备野餐食物。食物越丰盛，我们就越有可能继续我们每年的传统，留给她们一年当中至少一星期的放松时间。

当我们吃完饭时，我们会围坐一圈谈论男性话题，大部分是关于女性。在许多年的特殊旅行后，我意识到女性和我们是不同的，特别是关于交流方式。女性们不用找理由去聊天，而男人却需要如外出或组织活动等理由来进行交流。

我注意到当有一群女性时，会立刻产生许多话题。但在一群男性中，当一位男性在说话时，其他男性都在倾听。就像即兴演出蓝草音乐，一人主奏，其他人合奏。

与其他时候相比，大多是在音乐节的时候我跟好友有过推心置腹的交谈，一部分是因为没有女性在场，还有一部分是因为我们都有点喝醉了。这是一种我们所具有的超越任何事物的兄弟情谊。我也只在音乐节时在其他男性朋友面前大哭过。时光荏苒，我们这群兄弟中，有人失去了父母，有人失去了祖父母，有人离婚，也有人换了职业，当然，这些都并非刻意。似乎每年我们中至少有一人会发生这样令人悲痛的事情，这时其他人就会倾听并给予他支持。我希望这个栏目会给女性带来一些安慰。如果你的丈夫晚上和朋友出去打保龄球或玩扑克，你应该要感到高兴。他很有可能不是在逃避你和孩子，而是跟他的朋友聊一些只能和他们谈的话题，他之后就会回家，这样反而更好。

51．A【精析】推断题。文章第一段介绍了作者每年一次和男性友人的音乐之旅，跟他们一起放松，同样留给妻子们一年当中至少一星期的放松时间。由此可推断，这个旅行对男性和女性来说都是放松时间。故选A。

Given the choice, younger professionals are most interested in working at tech companies like Apple and government agencies like the State Department, but they are comparatively disinterested in working in the financial industry, according to a survey conducted by Universum, a researchf'trrn.What attracts college graduates to big tech companies like Apple is mainly the cool factor sur-rounding these companies and their products, as the survey found young professionals were most influenced by the strength of the corporation's brand when picking their most desired companies.“Companies that have appealing consumer brands generally also succeed in being perceived as attractive employers.People nowadays love to work for companies that produce their favorite prod-ucts and services,” said KortneyKutsop, employer branding specialist for Univer sum.“Also,market success is an important factor: The company needs to be generally seen as innovative and best-in-class in whatever they do--that's the recipe for success.”

By contrast, financial institutions like Citigroup, whose brands have been spoiled in recent years by the collapse of the financial industry, ranked in the lower half of the list of 99 companies desired by young professionals.Beyond the power of a company's brand, college graduates were also heavily influenced by the perceived financial stability of each company, which may explain why major corporations like Apple would rank at the top, since they are constantly expanding and hiring new employees.On the other hand, government agencies, which fared slightly worse than the tech companies, may have been hurt by perceived weaknesses in recent years, given that the public sector as a whole has been forced to freeze wages and lay off employees.Universum, which surveyed more than 10,000 young professionals who graduated from col-lege in the last eight years, also found that many of them are looking to switch jobs in the near fu-ture.In fact, half of those surveyed claimed to have applied to other jobs in the past year and a quarter plan to switch jobs within six months, suggesting that the organizations at the top of this list may be flooded with new applications in the coming months.56.The Universum survey found that college graduates________

A.are sponsored by government agencies

近十几年来，每年我都会和一些男性好友去参加音乐节。我们没有带上妻子，但是她们会为我们的旅途准备野餐食物。食物越丰盛，我们就越有可能继续我们每年的传统，留给她们一年当中至少一星期的放松时间。

当我们吃完饭时，我们会围坐一圈谈论男性话题，大部分是关于女性。在许多年的特殊旅行后，我意识到女性和我们是不同的，特别是关于交流方式。女性们不用找理由去聊天，而男人却需要如外出或组织活动等理由来进行交流。

我注意到当有一群女性时，会立刻产生许多话题。但在一群男性中，当一位男性在说话时，其他男性都在倾听。就像即兴演出蓝草音乐，一人主奏，其他人合奏。

与其他时候相比，大多是在音乐节的时候我跟好友有过推心置腹的交谈，一部分是因为没有女性在场，还有一部分是因为我们都有点喝醉了。这是一种我们所具有的超越任何事物的兄弟情谊。我也只在音乐节时在其他男性朋友面前大哭过。时光荏苒，我们这群兄弟中，有人失去了父母，有人失去了祖父母，有人离婚，也有人换了职业，当然，这些都并非刻意。似乎每年我们中至少有一人会发生这样令人悲痛的事情，这时其他人就会倾听并给予他支持。我希望这个栏目会给女性带来一些安慰。如果你的丈夫晚上和朋友出去打保龄球或玩扑克，你应该要感到高兴。他很有可能不是在逃避你和孩子，而是跟他的朋友聊一些只能和他们谈的话题，他之后就会回家，这样反而更好。
