2016年公共英語三級（pets3級）短文欣賞

1：

The circumstances surrounding the birth of a female infant in Kosciusko, Mississippi, on Jan.29, 1954,were not promising present was the usual mix that had so often accumulated into a burden too heavy for a single-parent household like the one Oprah Winfrey grew up in.The state in which she was born had laws in place waiting to characterize her as unwelcome, to bar her participation in otherwise accebtable social activities, to shackle her to the residue of slavery and other injustices of the past.The simple truth is that her grandmother, her great-grandmother and all the great-great-grandmothers before them never experienced one day of life free from the harsh decrees of state-sponsored racial repression

In hindsight, it appears that her birth was an uneventful one.But at age three she was reciting speeches from church pulpits.Upon discovering books, the child delved into the written word, turning out weekly book reports for her father.Even during turbulent times, not a moment was wasted.Seeds were being planted, watered, and nurtured.On April 13, 1964, nearly an adolescent and watching television from the linoleum floor of her mother's walk-up flat in something deep inside of her.She was watching the live broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony and saw a young African-American actor receiving the film industry's highest honor.Sharing in that moment and all it implied she later told me, caused her to say softly to herself, “If he can do that, I wonder what I could do?” The ground had been set.The journey of Oprah Winfrey had begun.The babe, the child, the adolescent, the young woman-all their strengths were harnessed into

driving forces in many of those changes.Her enormously influential talk show, her philanthropic work with children in africa and elsewhere, her popular book club and magazine, her empowering spiritual message, her contribution(by action and example)to improving race relations-all speak to the human family, touching hearts and leaving each one uplifted.Mississippi too seems to be mellowing out into a more congenial place than it was in 1954.that may also be partly due to the very sbecial enerav that is Oprah Winfrey-a courageous, funny, compassionate, well-informed, dazzlingly curious person, as down-to-earth and loving as any human being I've ever known.參考譯文:

故事的詳情圍繞在1954年六月29日出生于密西西比，科修斯科山的一個女嬰。那時，對于像Oprah Winfrey(奧普來.溫弗里)這樣日常開銷負擔(dān)特別繁重的單親家庭來說，她的出身并不是那么讓人期待。她所在的國家，已經(jīng)有適當(dāng)?shù)姆傻群蛑鴮⑺袨椴皇軞g迎的對象，阻擊她參加其它合理的社交活動，讓她背負上了奴隸制度剩余產(chǎn)物的枷鎖，還有以往其它一些不公平的待遇。簡單的事實就是她的祖母、曾祖母以及更早的一代之前，在政府縱恿的種族鎮(zhèn)壓法令下，從未經(jīng)歷過一天生命的自由。

之后的跡象表明，她的出生似乎平淡無奇。但是，在她三年的時候，便開始在教堂的講道壇背誦演說，在發(fā)現(xiàn)了書籍的之后，她便鉆研上面寫過的句子，每周向她的父親作一次書的公寓的油布地毯上，電視里的一些東西深深地觸動了她。那時她正在看奧斯卡獎項的現(xiàn)場直播，一位年青的美國黑人演員被授予了電影行業(yè)中的最高榮譽。在分享那個神圣的時刻之后，她告訴了我所有這一切都在暗暗地促使她輕聲地告訴自己“他能做到，難道我就做不到嗎?”

道路已經(jīng)被鋪平了，Oprah Winfrey 開始了她的旅程。從嬰兒到小孩、到青少年、再到年輕女士——萬事俱備，使得她在服務(wù)于自然界與人類家庭上迸發(fā)出一種驚人的能力。從1954年起，毫無疑問，世界已經(jīng)以一種積極的方式發(fā)生著改變。Oprah和她的脫口秀是其中的很多改變動力。她影響深遠的脫口秀、對非洲乃至其它地方的小孩博愛舉動、廣受歡迎的書籍雜志俱樂部、激動人心的演說辭、以身作則為改善種族關(guān)系所作的貢獻。這一切都講給人類家庭，觸動了他們的內(nèi)心，每個人都深受鼓舞。

密西西比也受到了潮流的影響，比1954年看起來適意得多。其中的部分也許同樣歸功于Oprah Winfrey的非常獨特的精神力量——一個勇敢、有趣、富有同情心、見識廣博、閃耀著知識光芒的人，是我所知的人中最腳踏實地、讓人鐘愛的一個。

2： If a computer were to design the perfect U.N.Secretary-General, he or she would look sonething like this: African born;European and American educated, with decades of service in the U.N.system;married to a European;and possessing a quiet charisma and calm authority as chaos arises.That the U.N.in 1996 found such a person to restore its sense of direction and purpose was a near miracle.But out of the U.N.'s failures in Bosnia, Somalia and Rwanda came Kopi Annan, the career international civil servant who had participated in these disasters yet somehow survived and learned from them.Today Annan is in the middle of his second term.His task is not finished, and the U.N.is still far from what it should be.But Annan has tested the limits of the job, accumulating more authority-one cannot use the word power, given the constraints the U.N.system places on him-than any of his predecessors.His complex relationship with the U.S.government is little understood.When Annan takes positions in public that are displeasing to the bush administration, it

stabilizing Iraq.He began to work toward the decisive date of June 30, when the u.s.will hand over control to Iraqi authorities and an uncertain situation will prevail determined by factors way beyond his, or anyone else's, ability to control.But it is Annan's destiny to be handed the very worst problems after they have been unsuccessfully addressed by others.Anyone who knows him knows he wades into such problems with his usual blend of courage, self-control, modesty and optimism

參考譯文：

如果讓電腦來設(shè)計一個完美的聯(lián)合國秘書長，他/她應(yīng)該是這樣的：出生在非洲;在歐洲和美國接受教育;在聯(lián)合國工作十年以上;配偶是歐洲人;出現(xiàn)混亂局面時能保持冷靜、富有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)魅力的權(quán)威人士。

1996年聯(lián)合國找到了這樣一個人來恢復(fù)它的方向感和目的性，這簡直就是個奇跡。聯(lián)到很多東西。

現(xiàn)在，安南的第二任期已過一半。然而，他的任務(wù)還沒有圓滿完成，聯(lián)合國離其理想狀態(tài)還很遠。但安南已經(jīng)體驗到了他這份工作的局限性——因為聯(lián)合國體制對他的限制，他不能利用言語力量，然而他卻比他的前任們積累了更多的權(quán)威性。

他與美國政府的復(fù)雜關(guān)系鮮為人知，當(dāng)安南在公眾面前的表現(xiàn)不能取悅布什政府的時候，美國就會攻擊他。反過來，當(dāng)美國政府官員發(fā)現(xiàn)他們的政策在伊拉克舉步維艱的時候，他們卻向聯(lián)合國尋求幫助。有些觀察家建議安南不要幫助美國擺脫困境，但是安南明白，自己最大責(zé)任是促成伊拉克局勢的穩(wěn)定。他開始朝6月30號這個決定性的日子努力，美國將會在這天向伊拉克政府移交政權(quán)，這將千萬動蕩局面。不管是安南瓦還是其他任何人，在伊拉克問題上的成功與否都不會取決于他個人的控制能力。但是，安南注定要處理這些棘手的問題，而這些問題是由別人的失敗造成的。所有熟悉安南的人都知道他將帶著他一貫的勇氣、自我控制能力、謙恭和樂觀來介入這一難題。

第二篇：公共英語三級

公共英語三級介紹

一、課程基本介紹：公共英語三級屬于英語的中間級，通過該級考試的考生，其英語已達到高等教育自學(xué)考試非英語專業(yè)本科畢業(yè)水平或符合普通高校非英語專業(yè)本科畢業(yè)的要求，基本符合企事業(yè)單位行政秘書、經(jīng)理助理、初級科技人員、外企職員的工作，以及同層次其他工作在對外交往中的基本需要。該級考生應(yīng)能在生活和工作的多數(shù)情景中進行對話，不僅能夠詢問事實，還能詢問抽象的信息，同時能表達清楚的觀點和態(tài)度，能適當(dāng)運用基本的語法知識，掌握4000左右的詞匯以及相關(guān)詞組。

公共英語三級相當(dāng)于我國學(xué)生高中畢業(yè)后在大專院校又學(xué)了兩年公共英語或自學(xué)了同等程度英語課程的水平。（此級別筆試合格成績可替代自學(xué)考試本科階段英語

三、如何學(xué)好公共英語：公共英語三級分為筆試及口試，在講課過程中，針對考試需要，做了具體的教學(xué)安排。筆試考核的有聽力、閱讀及寫作能力。每次授課都要利用多媒體教室進行課前的聽力練習(xí)，之后進行閱讀練習(xí)，細致講解閱讀中的技巧及重點的語法詞匯知識。在每周都要進行寫作指導(dǎo)，提高學(xué)生的寫作能力。此外，還進行隨堂的模擬測試等檢查學(xué)生的掌握情況。在口試方面，課堂上增加學(xué)生的口語練習(xí)，采取各種方法。如提問回答式練習(xí)、讓學(xué)生找搭檔做一些看圖編對話的練習(xí)，以及根據(jù)某個主題自由演講練習(xí)等。以便提高學(xué)生口語的運用水平。
