If you go shopping for food before lunch time, you“ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just

12、this advice isn“t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education on how and how not to buy things at the grocery store. First, you should check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need those things. In others words, don“t buy any

13、thing just because it“s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!“ or“ All natural“ on the front of a package influences you. Instead, read the list of ingredients (成分) on the back. Third, compare prices; that is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same br

14、and. Another suggestion for consumers is to buy genetic (普通的) items instead of famous brands. Genetic items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because manufacturers don“t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually identical to the qua

15、lity of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren“t very attractive, and they usually do not have individu

16、al dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores. Wise consumers read magazine advertisements and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In othe

17、r words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? W

18、ith the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice.（分数：10.00）(1).In the above passage, the author“s main purpose is to _.（分数：2.00）A.suggest consumers to buy generic items instead of famous brandsB.give some pieces of advice to consumersC.convince readers that the advice of most mot

19、hers aren“t enough for consumers these daysD.persuade consumers not to believe the advertisements(2).Which of the following statements is NOT true about the phrase “generic items“ in Paragraph 2?（分数：2.00）A.Generic items never say “New and Improved“ or “All natural“.B.Generic products are usually che

23、数：5.00)Erum Nadeem: Your article on happiness lifted my spirits. There is one very interesting aspect to note: the eight steps to happiness listed on pages 32-33 may as well be translations of the values of our cultural tradition. If people would see our values from these aspects, there would be no

24、misunderstanding-only happiness. Sander Tideman: I applaud your special on the science of happiness. However, the issue would have been more complete had it mentioned the idea of viewing economic development policies in the context of “gross national happiness“ or GNH. This concept is based on the r

25、ecognition that gross national product does not accurately reflect the well-being of a nation. GNH is a bold idea with far-reaching effects. Since happiness has a scientific base, it can be developed and promoted on a larger social scale. Paul Aboh: Happiness is a gift, not a commodity. Even the poo

We can find pleasure in the small things we often take for granted-a smile, a helping hand, a kiss, a wave, a pat on the back, a glass of water and a promise kept. And when you discover its source, you know it. Sometimes happiness overflows, but i

27、t never destroys. Mansoor Malik Happiness is not a product of achievement or wealth or fame. It is the reaction of our mind to the environment. Faith in the values of our long-cherished cultural tradition is a source of wellbeing. Happiness comes from caring for others and giving whatever we can-hel

28、p, hope, love, respect, sympathy or just a smile. Peter Fischer At a time when there seem to be so many reasons for being unhappy, I appreciated your special report on happiness. Surely the poorest kids in Africa who are without parents and are often hungry are the ones with the most reasons to be u

29、nhappy. What can possibly make them smile? As your article pointed out, however, we cannot wait for enough friends or a lot of money to make us happy. We have an amazing capacity to set ourselves right. Statements A. A rich person is not necessarily happy. B. Things people often overlook may be the

30、very source of happiness. C. Happiness can be promoted on a scientific basis. D. We should mainly rely on ourselves for happiness. E. Happiness lies in giving instead of taking. F. The environment is a source of happiness. G. Happiness can be achieved if we stick to the best of our values.（分数：5.00）(

33、：15.00)2.Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use you own words. You might think that good-looking men have every advantage in life. But new study suggests being handsome may not

34、 always work in a man“s favourat least when it comes to his career. The research claims that attractive men are less likely to be given a job in a competitive workplace because they intimidate bosses. “It“s not always an advantage to be pretty,“ says Marko Pitesa, an assistant professor at the Unive

35、rsity of Maryland. “It can backfire if you are perceived as a threat.“ Interestingly, in Pitesa“s study, it was male attractiveness in particular, rather than female beauty, that made the most difference. If the interviewer expected to work with the candidate as part of a team, then he preferred goo

36、dlooking men. However, if the interviewer saw the candidate as a potential competitor, the interviewer discriminated in favour of unattractive men. The results suggest that interviewers were not blinded by beauty, and instead calculated which candidate would further their own career. “The dominant t

37、heoretical perspective in the social sciences for several decades has been that biases and discrimination are caused by irrational prejudice,“ Pitesa says. “The way we explain it here, pretty men just seem more competent, so it is actually subjectively rational to discriminate for or against them.“

38、On a deeper level, she adds, the behaviour remains irrational, since there“s no evidence that a real link exists between looks and competence. （分数：15.00）_公共英语三级分类模拟题 70答案解析(总分：50.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Section Reading Co(总题数：0，分数：0.00)二、Part A(总题数：0，分数：0.00)三、Text 1(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Play is the principal bus
