1、大学英语三级 A级-158 及答案解析(总分：40.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：0，分数：0.00)1There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly diff
2、erent ideas about how to teach it and how to encourage a child to write without holding him back with the complexities of spelling. If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher“s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe“ . He will tend to write only words within his s
3、pelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That“s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability. I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! The
4、re are far too many spelling errors and your writing is not neat.“ It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil“s technical abilities in writing. But it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child“s deep feeli
5、ngs. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors. But if his priorities had centred on the child“s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the writing would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.“（分数：5.00）(1).What is the author“s attitude towards the “popular
6、 belief“ mentioned in Para. 1?（分数：1.00）A.He agrees to it.B.He is opposed to it.C.He stands neutrally (中立的) about it.D.He says nothing about it.(2).Teachers encourage the early use of dictionaries because it helps _.（分数：1.00）A.students learn how to use dictionariesB.students improve their expression

10、 fight climate change, while buzzwords such as clean energy, green energy and renewable energy receive much publicity. New energy is a concept that is contrary to traditional fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas and coal. In addition to renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and biomass power
11、 new energy sources also include nuclear power. As a non-renewable energy source, nuclear energy almost produces no pollution. But it consumes uranium (铀) fuel and produces nuclear waste. The development of nuclear energy also requires big investment. Yet it is a good alternative to fossil fuels as
12、 the world is striving to curb carbon dioxide emissions. Clean energy, or green energy, refers to those energy sources that cause no pollution. As nuclear energy almost produces no pollution, some experts also classify it as a kind of clean energy source. A similar concept is renewable energy, which
13、 is generated from renewable natural resources such as water, sunlight, wind, methane gas, geothermal heat and tidal waves. As renewable energy is naturally replenished, many countries prioritize (优先) the development of this category. However, renewable energy relies much on natural conditions and r
14、equires heavy investment and high maintenance cost. Its energy efficiency is also relatively low. Currently, many scientists are searching ways to boost the efficiency of renewable energy to improve the energy mix in a world where the problem of natural resource shortage is becoming large.（分数：5.00）(

19、annot steal from their own work. But, this is not correct in law. And there are circumstances, such as insurance fraud (保险欺), etc., when it is possible to steal from oneself. Self-plagiarism, however, must be carefully distinguished from the recycling of one“s work that to a greater or lesser extent
20、 everyone legally does. Self-plagiarism in academic (学术的) publications is a gray area. However, many universities indirectly recognize the practice as deceptive. They publish rules preventing students from handing in basically the same essay for credit in different courses. There are also rules agai
21、nst someone handing in the same graduate thesis to different universities. Among established academics, self-plagiarism is a problem. It means basically the same article or book is handed in on more than one occasion for salary raising or promotion. Like all plagiarism the essence of self-plagiarism
22、 is the author“ attempts to cheat the reader. This happens when no indication is given that the work is being recycled or when an effort is made to disguise the original text. For example, an author just makes cosmetic changes to make the same article, chapter, or book look different. But actually i
23、t remains unchanged in its central argument. In this case, disguising a text occurs. Authors change such things as paragraph breaks, capitalization, or the substitution of technical terms in different languages.
