PETS3證書作用介紹
就是個社會初級職稱職務的英語資格。你就認同公共三級水平等同大學四級水平,能基本交流,閱讀,聽說寫。外貿職員的入門級英語水準。 三、公共英語三級考試科目 英語三級考試主要是筆試和口試,筆試試卷分為四個部分:聽力、英語知識運用、閱讀理解和寫作,答題時間在120分鐘左右;口試則是分三節(jié)考察考生的口語交際能力。筆記和口試的試卷都需要使用英語指導語。 實際上,英語三級考試的題目設置和四級是差不多的,只是難度上三級要比四級簡單一些。考生在考完三級之后,最好還是接著考四級。 對于英語三級考試往往分為聽力、筆試和口語。聽力和筆試學:生已經很有經驗了,應對這鏈各個題型也比較容易,一些學生的聽力水平不高,可以多看一些英語相關節(jié)目來鍛煉自己。 但是對于口語來說,很多學生就比較陌生了。所以,學生在進行口語考試的時候

人們根據自身的病情,盡量花更少的時間呆在醫(yī)院里。 7、It has worried me a good deal for the last week, and so now I am going to put it on my dressing-table and watch it ache. 上周牙疼一直困擾著我,所以現在我要把它擺放在我的梳妝臺,看它還怎么疼! Passage: For all it flaws, medical care in the United States has been reformed [w]gigantically[/w] over the past several decades. Deaths from heart disease have fallen by 40 percent since 1970. Thanks to better detection and treatment, cancer advances have helped to raise U.S. life [w]expectancy[/w] from an average of 68 years in 1950 to 77 years today. Not only have American lives grown longer, but their quality has improved. The [w]proportion[/w] of people over 65 with one or more [w]chronic[/w] disabilities—such as the inability to walk, or to get dressed, without aid—declined from greater than 25 percent in 1982 to less than 20 percent in 1999. And the development of vision-correction surgery, among many other drugs and procedures, has allowed many Americans to prolong pleasures historically with youth. Of course, not all the recent improvements in American health and [w]longevity[/w] can be directly attributed to our health-care system; some are as much the result of adopting healthier habits( exercise, better diet) or of dropping unhealthy ones (smoking, too much alcohol-drinking). Still, better medical care is the [w]principal[/w] cause of improvements in American health and life span over the past 50 years. But the problem is that since 1960 health-care spending has grown significantly faster than the economy, meaning that we’re spending an ever larger portion of our incomes on medical core. In 1960 health care [w=constitute]constituted[/w] 5.1 percent of the U.S. economy; in 1980 it constituted 8.8 percent; today it constitutes 13.3 percent. Meanwhile, private health-insurance [w=premium]premiums[/w]— which rose by 14 percent last year alone— are becoming [w]unaffordable[/w] for even Americans. The number of things we can do to pay for them. 41 millions of our citizens are now uninsured. So the key question is not whether health care should be rationed in the United States; it already is. Rather the question is how health care should be rationed. How should the [w]potential[/w] benefits of reduced pain, improved quality of life, or extended life be weighted against the high costs of the [w=medication]medications[/w] or procedures involved? And who should weigh them? These are hard questions with high moral stakes. But we do hope that the health-care system will cover more people. 參考譯文: 因為存在缺陷,所以美國的醫(yī)療保健在過去幾十年里進行了重大改革。心臟疾病導致的死亡自1970年以來下降了40%。由于較先進的監(jiān)測和治療,癌癥死亡率自1990年以來一直處于下降趨勢??偟膩砜矗t(yī)療進步使美國人均壽命從1950的68歲提高到現在的77歲。 美國人不僅提高了壽命,而且還提高了生活質量。65歲以上患有至少一種長期殘疾——如在無人幫助下

It was so bad we had to eat out all the time despite having paid for meals in the price of our holiday. 4、 Ancient people offered the year’s first ripe grains to the gods in thanks for the crops that would sustain their communities for the coming year. 5、 The ancient harvest festival of Europe helped give rise to contemporary Thanksgiving Day celebrations. Passage: Holiday refers to the day set apart for [w]religious[/w] observance or for the [w]commemoration[/w] of some [w]extraordinary[/w] event total stoppage of work and normal business activities, including feasting, parades and carnivals, or displays of flags and speechmaking. Originally, in ancient times, holidays were [w]predominantly[/w] religious in character and linked to natural events such as the annual course of the sun or the phases of the moon. The word “holiday”, in fact, is derived from “holy day”. [w]Subsequently[/w], [w]secular[/w] holidays commemorating historical occasions or distinguished persons outnumbered holy days, although many ancient religious rituals and customs have been carried over into modern times and [w=incorporate]incorporated[/w] into both secular and religious observations. Today, the outstanding holiday is one of religious observance and abstention from normal work routines, taking place on Sunday for Christians, Friday for Muslims, and Saturday for Jews. In the U.S., Sunday is not only a religious holiday but is also the only common-law holiday. National holidays are [w]set aside[/w] by official government proclamation to celebrate such occasions as the achievement of independence, the founding of the nation, the adoption of a [w]constitution[/w], the birthday of the ruler, or the national patron [w]saint[/w]’s day. The U.S. has no national holidays as such legal holidays—on which banks, schools, or other public [w=institution]institutions[/w] and most places of business are closed—are designated by [w]legislative[/w] enactment or by [w]executive[/w] proclamation. Congress and the president designate the legal holidays for the District of Columbia and the [w]federal[/w] territories but are without power to declare national holidays. Independence Day and other holidays are observed on a national scale as a result of action by the calendar date and requests national observance, and the states then usually enact the necessary [w]legislation[/w]. Federal statutes often specify certain days as holidays for purposes related to the legislation. In order to give federal employees three-day weekends, a 1968 federal law made several changes in dates of holiday observances, effective in 1971: Washington’s Birthday now falls on the third Monday in February; Memorial Day, on the last Monday in May; Columbus Day, on the second Monday in October. Individual states later adopted these Monday holidays. A number of states [w]commemorate[/w] important events in their history. In Vermont, for example, the Battle of Bennington, fought in the American Revolution, is commemorated annually on August 16; in Louisiana the Battle of New Orleans of the War of 1812 is commemorated on January 8; Patriot’s Day, commemorating the first battle of the American Revolution, is celebrated on or about April 19 in Massachusetts and Maine; and several southern states celebrate a confederate Memorial Day on different days in the spring. 參考譯文: 假日是由于宗教儀式,或為紀念某些特殊事件或著名人物而特地指定的日子。假日的主要特點是部分或完全停止工作和常規(guī)商務活動。一般來說,假日往往伴有公眾或私人慶祝會,包括參加宴會、游行、狂歡會,或者參觀旗幟展覽和做演講等。 在古代,最初的假日主
