?. Reading Comprehension (60 points)

Directions:

There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage One

In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.

Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.

A. International Banking Policies B. The History of Monetary Exchange

At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office.

The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to

give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.

The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One

of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.

Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used

water to a purifying factory. There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh

from a spring.

But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the

oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization,

and it is already in use in many parts of the world.

71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.

A. do experiments with water B. purify the used water and reuse it

C. use fresh water once again D. make use of seawater

正确答案是:B

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it

hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for

the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take

their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their

work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure

concerns himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole

place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.

We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do

that.

After working long hours on her feet everyday in the operating, room, Taryn Rose knew a lot about foot pain. But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money. Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International, a $528 million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes.

At the beginning, Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of failure. "I could hear my friends and family saying, 'Why did you leave a good job?' If I failed, would I be okay facing them? And: they thought, 'So what? I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried. Once I was comfortable with that th6fight, the fear came to an end. I realized I feared regret more than failure. And after you turn to the path you choose, there is nothing acceptable but success"

Now, Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine. "What I'm doing is not all that different from what I was doing as a doctor. The goal is the same: to relieve (减轻) pain. A former professor told me: 'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes. As a doctor, you would have helped only the few who went to your office. You're having a much greater effect.

Looking back, Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks. "To me, luck is about being prepared for those opportunities (机会) that come knocking. You have to have an open mind, the right skills and all your senses working to see what opportunities present themselves. Luck can open the door, but you still have to walk through it."

36. Before starting her shoe business, Taryn Rose was a

A. nurse B. worker C. doctor D. boss

38. What did her former professor think about Rose and her new job?

A. She doesn't have to meet many people in her office.

B. Her new work is quite different from her old job.

C. She can now serve more people than before.

D. Her new work is much more difficult.

39. Which of the following can best explain the last sentence in the passage?

Last fall was a first-of-its-kind season. I did not arrange (安排) any after-school classes for my children. No swimming. No music lessons. No play dates. Nothing.

Once they finished their homework, they were free to do what they pleased, but only one hour of TV. In the beginning, my sons, Ben, 11, and Nick, 9, were anxious about this sudden, unplanned freedom. I had to push them out of the door with a ball, a bike, and so on. "Play? I ordered.

I learned that this new plan takes time, patience and a lot of faith in the theory that having excellent grades isn't really important.

When my older kids, now in college and high school, were young, I brought in the rules of modern parenting. They are unspoken, but followed carefully. First, you must let your child have a variety of activities. After all, you never know where you'll find a genius (天才). Second, if the child shows the slightest talent (才能), the activity must be pushed with lessons, special coaching (辅导) and practice of several days a week. Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose. That was really too much for my children.

Now with the new plan, we told stories, We listened to music. And' the. kids played with bikes, balls, and whatever was handy. Nobody kept score. In fact, the boys played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places. They've made friends with those who come from all over the neighborhood to play games.

We like those peaceful evenings. Ben and Nick have a good time this fall, maybe that's because the time off has allowed us to enjoy each other's company;

40. What was new for the family last fall?

A. The children began to learn music when school was over.

B. The writer arranged no' extra lessons for the children.

C. The writer found no time to play with the sons.

41. At the beginning of that season the children

A. hated to spend more time on their homework

B. felt excited about making their own decisions

C. were pleased to have more freedom

D; were worried about the change

42. According to “modern parenting” discussed in Paragraph 4, parents should

A. make use of every minute to be with the children

B. provide coaching and practice for each, activity .

C. try extra means to find a child's real talent

D. know the rules but never talk about them

43. From the passage we learn that _________

A. children like story-telling more than bike-riding

B. parents should teach their children how to make a plan

C. children should have time to enjoy themselves after school

D. parents can enjoy their evenings when children play with others

C

A woman heads into a popular New York City coffee shop on a cold winter morning. Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk at a busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. "Enjoy", the young woman says, smiling widely. "Have a nice day." She sounds like she really means it. These are the common situations we may see every day.

However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying "Excuse me" almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults (成人)said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago.

Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: "door tests" (would anyone hold the door open for them?); "paper drops" (who would help them gather a pile of "accidentally" dropped papers?); and "service tests" (which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase 购物)

In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type)were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions (职业), and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five: people they met passed their politeness test, making New York the most polite city in the study.

44, What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?

A. People are not as polite as they used to.

B. "Excuse me" is not welcome nowadays.

C. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude.

D. People don't care about manners any more.

45. What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?

A. The study was reported in many cities of the world.

B. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment.

C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other.

D. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist.

46. What is found in the study?

A. More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.

B. Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.

C. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.

D. Many people in the experiment passed the tests by guessing.

D

This is not a diet (减肥食谱) or a hard exercise program. Nobody can stick to those for long. Instead, it's a simple way to make weight loss — a natural part of the life you already live. And guess what? It's fun! You don't have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises. It's about balancing calories(平衡卡路里) in tiny ways that add up to big benefits (好处). You just use some tricks the "naturally thin" people do. Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you'll lose weight and be strong!

Talk it UP! Every time you pick up the phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and half hours more every day than thin people, according to a study.

Get face time! We use e-mail so much that we've forgotten what our colleagues look like. Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you: and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person. And go out of your way: go to a bathroom or a copy machine on another floor and take the stairs, of course.

Think about your drink! Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink. A glass of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories, while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340.

Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you'll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year. This is really not difficult to do.

47. What is mainly talked about in the passage?

A. How to do exercises daily.

B. How to lose weight easily.

C. How to work comfortably.

D: How to eat and drink regularly.

48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Thin people sit fewer hours daily than heavy people.

B. People deliver messages to their colleagues in person.

C. More people walk around when they talk on the phone.

D. Heavy people make longer phone calls than thin people,

49. What does the writer mean by “face time” in Paragraph 37

A. Time for getting to know each other. B. Time for sharing ideas face to face.

C, Time for doing small jobs. D. Time for sharing ideas by email.

50. Which of the following probably has the most calories?

A. Strawberry daiquiri. B. Regular beer.

C. Margarita: D. Wine.

Passage One

In the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.

One famous sunken ship is the “Lusitania”, which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly, 1,500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the sea-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.

61. Divers today try to bring to the surface _______.

A. gold and jewels B. parts of ships

C. whole ships D. all of the above

62. Diver try to bring up metals because ________.

they have been in the sea for a long time

gold and jewels are not valuable things

some kinds of metals are worth a lot of money

it is easy to bring up metals

63. The word “surface” in the passage means the ______.

A. market B. air C. top of a liquid D. sea

A. $12,000 B. $300,000 C. $1,200,000 D. $1,800,000

65. John Light bought the “Lusitania” _______.

A. before 1915 B. before it sank

C. after it sank D. after they had brought up the propellers

Passage Two

Man’s first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.

It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick. This would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts.

66. The wheel is important because _______.

A. it was man’s first real invention B. all transportation depends on it

C. every machine depends on it D. both B and C

67. The wheel is called _______.

A. simple B. complicated C. strange D. unusual

68. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because _______.

A. it led to many other inventions B. man had no use for it then

C. there were no wheels in nature D. all of the above

Passage Three

Eating in space is different from eating on earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.

Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There an be no crambs. Crambs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sized pieces. Astronauts can’t drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat this way.

71. Some space foods are carried in _______.

A. water guns B. lunch boxes C. closed bags D. crumbs

72. The story does not say this, but from what we have read, we can tell that ______.

you get much hungrier in space than you do

you can’t have water to drink in a spaceship

astronauts must learn many new and different things

you can’t eat anything in a spaceship

73. Why can’t astronauts drink water from cups?

The water would come from the open cups.

The water would spill all over their food.

Crambs would float in the cups.

The cups would float in the air.

74. The main idea of the whole story is that _______.

there is more food and water in space than on earth

eating and drinking in space is a special problem

astronauts can never eat or drink in a spaceship

there is no food or water in a spaceship

75. Which of the following does the story lead you to believe?

Food for astronauts must be made in a special way.

All meat on earth comes in bite-sized pieces.

Astronauts will only eat cakes made from crambs.

Astronauts have to go hungry in a spaceship.

Passage Four

The energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.

76. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?

A. 100% but indirectly. B. 5%.

C. 50%. D. only a very tiny amount.

77. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ______.

only a very small part is available the sun is too distant from the earth

it takes thousands of years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oil

our scientific knowledge is not sufficient

78. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

Even windmill’s action depends on the sun.

The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of.

Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.

The sun produces different heating effects in different places.

79. In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _______.

a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developed

the sun is our final source of power

man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energy

the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly

80. This passage centers mainly on ________.

harnessing energy through chemistry

our last source of power

how water power is produced

the amount of solar energy that can be utilized

Should Men and Women Be Equal?

People have different ideas about this issue, Some people say that men are superior to women in ability because men are physically stronger, do most of the hard labor in the world and hold most important positions. Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world. We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused.
