1、大学英语三级 A 级-170 及答案解析(总分：37.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)1We are all conditioned by the way we are brought up. Our values are determined by our parents, and in a larger sense, by the culture in which we live. Chinese people, for example, are traditionally not accustomed to drinkin
2、g milk, and may actually become sick if they are compelled to drink a glassful of the beverage. Americans, on the other hand, thrive on milk, although they have many taboos of their own. Some years ago I gave a dinner party during which I served a delicious hors d“oeuvre filled with a meat that tast
3、ed somewhat like chicken. My guests wondered what the meat was, but I refused to tell them until they had eaten their fill. I explained that they had just dined on the flesh of freshly killed rattlesnake. Some people reacted by becoming nauseous, and a few people even vomited. By contrast, if I had
4、served rattlesnake to a Chinese person, he might have requested a second helping, for in China the dish is considered a delicacy. Another interesting case is a young man I met recently in New York City. An American by birth, he had been removed from his native state of Oregon at the age of six month
5、s when his parents went to Japan as missionaries. Orphaned before his first birthday, he was reared by a Japanese family in a remote village. The young man was unmistakably American in appearance, with blond hair and blue eyes. But he had a Japanese style of walking, Japanese facial expressions, and
6、 he thought like a Japanese. Though he had learned to speak English fluently, he felt uncomfortable and out of place in an American city.

In many European countries, the milk was provided free at school, and all children had to drink it unless their parents objected, which was very uncommo
10、n. Twenty years later, a different group of experts warned against the dangers of obesity amongst school pupils. Girls, in particular, were putting on far too much weight. The daily diet of milk was put in the dock and found guilty. Milk ceased to be compulsory and was withdrawn completely in many s
11、chools. Some journalists suggested that the real reason for providing milk was to create a market for farmers who had a surplus when the plan was first started. Not long ago, middle-aged people were advised to go jogging if they wanted to stay healthy and live longer. In many places, men (and a few
12、women) in the age group 35-50 could be seen trotting along a road or round a path in a park.
