III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)

从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡的相应代码涂黑。

21-25 BDCAC

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Gliese 581g is the sixth planet to be found circling a dwarf star some 20 light-years away, in the constellation of Libra. On paperit looks good – three times the mass of the Earth with possibly a rocky surface and enough gravity to hold on to an atmosphere.

The researchers also promised shirt-sleeve weatherin some regions, but not everywhere. One side of the planet is almost always in sunshine; the other almost always in darkness and estimated temperatures range from minus four degrees Celsius to a very hot 71 degrees. A year meanwhile would go by in just 37 days.

Of course, whether life could really be supported on Gliese 581g will need much more investigation and, most probably, technologies which don't exist yet. But the astronomers say planet hunting is getting easier and they were surprised how quickly they detected the tell-tale signsof this distant body, using ground-based telescopes.

21. Which of the following is correct about Gliese 581g?

A. It is a dwarf star with gravity.

B. It is a planet like the earth.

C. It was discovered many centuries ago.

D. It is very close to the earth.

22. What does Gliese 581g look like?

A. It has the mass of the sun.

B. It has about the same mass as the earth and its atmosphere.

C. Its rock and atmosphere are about three times the mass of the earth.

D. It is heavier than the earth and has a rocky surface.

23. Which of the following is correct about the gravity of Gliese 581g?

A. It fixes the mass on.

B. It is too small to keep anything on the ground.

C. It is enough to hold on to an atmosphere.

D. It helps Gliese 581g to balance between the earth and the sun.

24. What does shirt-sleeve weatherprobably mean?

A. So warm that a jacket is not needed.

B. Changeable.

C. Cold.

D. Extremely cold.

25. How was Gliese 581g found?

A. A scientist discovered it on the way to the moon.

B. Some scientists found it with a telescope on the shuttle.

C. It was found using telescopes on the earth.

D. It was found with the help of a computer.

26-30ACDBC

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Officially almost 60,000 Nepalese women are now working in the Middle East but the unofficial estimate is closer to 200,000. Many of them are under 30 years old and will be directly affected by the new ban.

The government's been under growing pressure to do more to protect its workers. Women employed in the informal sector as part of a household are very vulnerable. Nepal's Embassies in the region say they deal with numerous cases of alleged physical or sexual abuse, as well as complaints about unpaid wages and terrible conditions.

Many run safe houses to support women who flee their employer's homes. It's only 18 months since the government ended a 12-year ban on all women workers to the Gulf. That wasimposed after a young woman working in Kuwait committed suicide. Now they're adopting this partial ban in the hope that older women might be less at risk. Nepal has a high unemployment rate and the government is trying to strike a balance between protection and allowing women to pursue opportunities.

Other countries face the same dilemma. Two months ago, Kenya banned its citizens from working in the Middle East because, it said, increasing numbers were being mistreated. Last year, Indonesia introduced a ban on women working as maids in the region. That followed numerous cases of abuse and the execution of an Indonesian maid who was accused of killing her former employer.

26. Who will be most probably be affected by the new ban?

A. Young Nepalese women working in the Middle East.

B. Nepalese women just back from the Middle East.

C. Nepalese women working at home.

D. Nepalese women who wants to work for rich families.

27. Why does the Nepalese government decide to adopt the ban?

A. Because they wanted women to work at home.

B. Because they wanted Nepalese women to have equal opportunities.

C. Because they wanted to protect the Nepalese women.

D. Because they had a bad relationship with the gulf countries.

28. How are the Nepalese women treated when working in the Middle East？

A. They are well treated.

B. They are offered many opportunities.

C. They have much freedom.

D. Many of them are mistreated and abused.

29. Which of the following is correct about the ban?

A. It is historical and has never been imposed before.

B. A year and a half ago, another ban existed.

C. It has lasted twelve years.

D. It solves the unemployment problem at home.

30. Which of the following is correct?

A. Middle East women work outside their countries.

B. Women working in the Middle East all come from Asia.

C. Women working in the Middle East need protection.

D. Embassies cannot do anything to protect women from their country.

31-35 CBDAA

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

71. If you have learnt to love books as a child, the reading habit will never desert you. But if this has not been your good fortune, you tend to think of reading as a bore.

A few, but very few, come to the habit late in life. The circumstances which help to set a child on the path to the literary adventure are: a life even barely above real poverty, so that there is cope in the family for thoughts and activities not wholly devoted to the struggle for making a living; the availability of free books either at home or in a public library; and the possession of a character both curious and independent.

In order to desire to read one must be curious. A few children are able to keep this curiosity and their mental independence alive despite the educational system of their country. But many fail to do so either because of an overstrict system where what is most important is memory work; or because of a careless and lazy one where even the basic disciplines of literacy are ignored in the sacred name of free expression.

如果你从小就学会爱读书，阅读的习惯将会陪伴你一生。但是如果你没有这么幸运，你会觉得阅读枯燥乏味。有些人，但是很少，会在日后爱上阅读。有助于帮助孩子走上文学之旅的环境包括：不算特别贫困的生活，这样一来家里就有思考和活动的余地，无需全力以赴为生计而奋斗；家里或公共图书馆里可以获得免费阅读的书籍；拥有好奇而独立的性格。

若要心系读书，人一定要好奇。有些孩子能够保持这种好奇心和思想的独立，尽管他们国家的教育体系（可能对此不利）。但是很多孩子却无法做到这些，要么因为过于严苛的教育体系过于强调死记硬背，要么因为粗疏、懒散的教育体系以自由表达的堂皇理由忽视了最基本的读书原则。

They wanted to have a place with enough land to grow plants. The couple successfully found a proper place and turned it into a farm called Bollywood Veggies. "We came and had a look and we found paradise. We started Bollywood Veggies there and then," she says. The basic idea of starting the farm was to keep themselves busy in retirement. Mrs. Singh says it was never begun as a business. "We started this as a lifestyle project for retirement." The farm's produce includes beans, cabbage and other crops. Soon, more people found out about the farm. Visitors often asked whether the farm offered any food or drinks. So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm. As the farm changed from a retirement to a commercial project, Mrs. Singh sought new business opportunities. A key area was growing bananas. Given the popularity of bananas and their use in a range of food products, she saw great potential. The farm uses its crop to make products such as banana chips and bread. Mrs. Singh, driven by the success of the project, now wants to open a retirement home on the farm. She says the farm is a nice place for people who have retired. Mrs. Singh says she does not care much about the profit, because she is getting to live her dream while making a difference to society. 1. Ivy and her husband made a careful plan for retirement. A.

I was driving a taxi, looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital, I found a man running down the hospital steps, waving at me. I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport, please,”he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments, he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?” “It’s OK” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.” “What do you do?” I asked. “I am a doctor at New York Hospital.” Many times during long rides, I’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help. “Could I ask a favor of you?” He didn’t answer. “I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job this summer. Is it possible that you get one for him?” He still wasn’t talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record.” He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.

Country and western music would not be the same without a guitar. The Spanish music called flamenco could not exist without a guitar. The sound of American blues music would not be the same without the sad cry of the guitar. And rock and roll music would almost be impossible without this instrument. People don not agree about where the guitar was first played, but most agree it is very old. Some say an instrument very much like a guitar was played in Egypt more than one thousand years ago. Some other say that an old form of the modern guitar was brought to Spain from Persian sometime in the 12th century. The guitar continued to develop in Spain. In the 1700s it became similar to the instrument we know today. Many famous musicians played the instrument. The famous musician Niccolo Paganinni played and wrote music for the guitar in the early 1800s. Franz Schubert used the guitar to write some of his famous works. In modern times Andres Segovia helped make the instrument extremely popular. One kind of music for the guitar developed in the southern area of Spain called Adalusia. It will always be strongly connected with the Spanish guitar. 1. What is discussed about the guitar in Paragraph 1? A. Its history in America. B. Its value in the music world. C. Its importance for music lovers. D. Its use in musical performance.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.

The effects of rapid travel on the body are actually far more disturbing than we realize. Jet Lag is not a psychological consequence of having to readjust to a different time zone. It is due to changes in the body's physiological regulatory mechanisms, specifically the hormonal systems, in a different environment. Confused? So was John Foster Dulles, the American Secretary of State, when he flew to Egypt to conduct negotiations on the Aswan Dam. He later blamed his poor judgement on Jet Lag. The effects can be used to advantage, too. President Johnson once conducted an important meeting in Guam and kept the entire proceedings at Washington DC time. The White House working personnel were as fresh as paint, while the locals, in this case, were jet-lagged. Essentially, they had been instantaneously transported to America. Now that we understand what Jet Lag is, we can go some way to overcoming it. A great number of the body's events are scheduled to occur at a certain time of day. Naturally these have to be regulated, and there are two regulatory systems which interact. One timing system comes from the evidence of our senses and stomachs, and the periodicity we experience when living in a particular time zone. The other belongs in our internal clocks (the major one of which may be physically located in a part of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus) which, left alone, would tie the body to a 25 hour - yes, 25 - rhythm. Normally the two timers are in step, and the external cues tend to regularise the internal clocks to the more convenient 24 hour period. If, however, you move the whole body to a time zone which is four hours different, the two clocks will be out of step, like two alarm clocks which are normally set together, but which have been reset a few hours apart. Whereas the two clocks would normally sound their alarms together, now they ring at different times. Similarly, the body can be set for evening while the sun is rising. In time the physiological system will reset itself, but it does take time. One easily monitored rhythm is palm sweating. A man flown to a time zone different by 10 hours will take eight days to readjust his palm sweat. Blood pressure, which is also rhythmical, takes four days to readjust.

Or, they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the “cool” kids will. The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having “cool”behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool” and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average “cool”kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn’t

其实自考英语一、二并不难

其实英语（一），（二）并不难! 我现在已经通过所有计算机信息管理专科和本科的课程，正在准备毕业论文。可是，在这个过程中我并不是一帆风顺的。我中专里学的是计算机专业，毕业后从99年开始考专科。第一年我就碰上了英语，除了这一门，其它三门我都过了。我对英语一窍不通，连主谓宾都搞不清楚，别说是其它的了。而且还有抵触心理，根本就不想学英语。那次我考了25分，都是瞎蒙的。两年后，我就通过了所有的课程，带着这一门英语我又开始了本科的路程。巧的是我第一年就碰上了英语（二），当然我还是选择放弃。随着一门门课程的通过，到了2002年时我只剩下了英语（一）和英语（二）了。 我开始自学英语（一），我先去买了一本语法书（有字典那么厚），花了三个星期从头到尾看了一遍。然后开始背课文，背单词，做课后练习非常认真的学了10个单元，可是我坚持不下去了，觉得实在太难了。我宁愿多考三门也不想再考英语。后来我也没有勇气去考试，唉，糟蹋了考试费啊！ 到了2003年，我经过同学的鼓励和点拨，使我重新又恢复了信心——坚持学英语。最终，我以79分的成绩顺利通过了英语（一），接着我又以80分的成绩通过了英语（二）。 我的一些学习方法和经验，希望能给大家带来帮助，不要让英语成为你通向成功之路的绊脚石。 首先，你的语法知识必须过关，自学考试很注重语法，考试中相当的比例是语法知识。而且，如果你连语法知识都搞不清，那么学起来时，很吃力的，很难坚持到最后一刻。买一本薄冰，张道真或是张振邦编著的语法（他们是权威）从头到尾学一遍，并不要求你马上全弄懂，语法是靠到文章中慢慢体会和实践才能掌握的。其中非谓语动词，虚拟语气是重中之重，年年考，必考。 在你学完语法后，才可学课文了。我那时候是把每一篇课文都抄在本子上，一行空一行，然后划出词组，把王国栋编著的辅导书（这本书非常好，它给了我很大帮助）对文中句子的知识点分析都写在空白行上我再通过查语法书，把各种从句，非谓语动词，各个短语或单词在句子中充当什么成分，起什么作用都在上面一一标明。直到把整篇文章分析透彻为止。在这期间我也去上过英语课，那老师讲的还算不错，但是绝对没有我分析的透彻。那么短的时间，讲50篇课文也不可能讲的很细。在学完课文以后就开始做练习，但决不是书后的练习，除了中译英外，其它的根本不会考。但是每个单元后的语法练习还是重要的。我那时做了三本辅导练习册，历届考试中填空题和选择题80~90%是从中抽取的，做完后我把这些考点都一一在我抄的文章上标出来，以便复习，连同历届考题都在上面标出。 做完这些以后，还只是完成了一半。考试中的大户——阅读理解，如果你这部分不好，那么及格就危险了。阅读短文是课外的，也就是说，你把课文都吃透了也不一定能做好它。需要买阅读理解的书来练习，每天坚持练一篇，可以先从

I's sad to see how few people do even though many could Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases，but by driving cars，they're sill contributing to the problem. You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者)，but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually，my interest in exercise，health，and fitness led me to cycling. Cycling can help you lose weight，improve your health，and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury. While being good for your body，bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle，plant tees，and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车)，but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week. Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car. You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment，save money，and most importantly get fit. 1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( ) A:True B:False C:Not Given 英语（二）试卷第1页（共8页）
