III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: There are 5passages in this section. Each passage is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:

Scientists now believe that many, if not all, living things are born with some type of hidden clock. These clocks are sometimes set by the number of hours of light or darkness in a day, by the rhythm of the tides or by the seasons.

One of the most remarkable of nature's living clocks belongs to the fiddler crab, that familiar beach-dweller with the overgrown claw. Biologists have long known that the crab's shell is darkest during the day, grows pale in late afternoon, then begins to darken again at daybreak. This daytime darkening is valuable for protection against enemies and sunlight, and for many years it was thought to be a simple response by the crab to the sun--just as if we were to get a tan during the day and lose it at night.

But when an enterprising scientist placed a fiddler crab in darkness, he was amazed to find that the color of the crab's shell kept ticking off the time with the same accuracy.

Y et another startling fact was revealed: the crab's shell reached the darkest color about 50 minutes later each day. There was a second clock inside the crab, for the

tides also occur 50 minutes later from day to day. Moreover, even when the crabs were taken from the beach and put back in the dark, they continued their tidal rhythm. More research disclosed that a crab from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, reached its darkest color four hours earlier than the one taken from a beach on a neighboring island. The tides on the nearby island were found to be exactly four hours later than the Cape Cod tides.

Birds also have built-in timepieces which send them off on fall and spring migrations. What the birds really have is a clock-like mechanism which allows them to time hours of darkness or light in each day.

But what sends birds northward again in the spring? New research by Dr. Albert Wolfson of Northwestern University seems to indicate that the timing of return flight is extraordinarily complex. In the fall of the year the short days and long nights

cause the "clocks" in migratory birds to undergo a kind of "winding" in preparation for their spring return and breeding. Then during the late fall and winter as the clock "ticks", certain physiological changes occur in the bird. The length of each day during the winter determines how fast the clock will run, and hence when the "alarm" will ring for the spring migration. The clock continues to run through breeding time, then stops--to be re-wound again the next fall.

Scientists are now learning that many of the clocks of nature can be reset, speeded up or slowed down--all for our benefit. Pioneering experiments at the U. S. Department of Agriculture's research center in Beltsville, Maryland, have shown

that plants can be helped to develop faster in less time. By increasing or lessening

the hours of darkness in each day, the scientists have been able to mm plant growth off and on like an electric switch.

New knowledge about nature's living clocks has practical applications. For man, too, seems to follow daily rhythms. The amount of sugar in our blood stream varies with the time of day, as does our temperature. More of the cells in our skin and muscles divide during the night hours than during the day. By tinkering with the

clocks of plants and animals, scientists may learn more about the fascinating way our bodies work.

41. Although scientists know that the number of hours of daylight controls the

actions of some living things, they know that this is not the only factor because

A. the fiddler crab's shell reached the darkest color at the same time in Cape

Cod, Massachusetts and its neighboring island

B. the fiddler crab continued to change color in the dark

C. plants will not grow without sunlight

D. all of the above

42. From this article we conclude that these rhythms in nature occur most

spectacularly __

A. in the higher orders of living things

B. in the lower orders of living things

C.in birds and animals

D. in man

43. Scientists have learned to control to some extent the naturally rhythmical

activities of

A. migrating birds

B. growing plants

C. body cells

D. fiddler crabs

44. This article is basically __

A. informational

B. entertaining

C. inspirational

D. controversial

Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:

There are several ways of listening that net us nothing but trouble, according to

Dr. Ralph Nichols of the University of Minnesota. If we recognize and try to conquer them, we can step up our listening ability by about twenty-five percent and thereby greatly increase our chances for success in our daily lives.

Unless you are very unusual indeed, says Dr. Nichols, you must plead guilty to several of the following bad listening habits:

Shut-Ear Listening: Maybe you feel you already know what the speaker is going to say. Or his subject couldn't interest you less. Y ou mm off your ears--and who knows what you may be missing or when a little knowledge on that subject may come in mighty handy? Anyway, why take the risk?

Over-My-Head Listening: Y ou are convinced that the subject is beyond you, so you depart, at least in spirit. Y ou may be right. And then again you may be wrong. If you let the words enter your mind, you may be surprised to discover that they make sense. But even if they are as strange as Greek to you, you should try to listen and understand. Otherwise you may find some day that you must attempt to grasp an over-your-head idea and be totally unable even to try.

Memory Test Listening: Some people think that trying to memorize a series of facts is good listening. They are wrong. For instance, you are getting a story for your school paper on an assembly speaker. He makes a series of points. Y ou try to memorize them. But while you are busy planting facts A, B, and C in your mind, repeating them over and over, you are losing out on facts D and E. Better to look for main ideas. Y ou will find them more useful and easier to recall later.

Take-It-All-Down Listening: When you try to get too many of the speaker's words on paper, part of your mind must be concerned with your note-taking. Y ou are unable to concentrate fully on what he is saying. Y ou risk losing valuable points. Where note-taking is necessary--and you may be surprised to find out how often it isn't if you concentrate fully on listening--try to jot down only a memory-jogging word or two. Or put the main ideas on paper after the speaker has finished. The more complete attention you give the speaker, the easier it will be to recall his ideas later.

Personality Listening: Y ou become so concerned with the way the speaker looks or how he talks that what he says fails to penetrate. Perhaps unconsciously you decide that a person who dresses or speaks like that can't have much to say. That could be a very false conclusion. Who knows what you may be missing? It's the old story: you can't judge a gift by the package. Better to judge him after you have heard him out.

So there are the forces--some within ourselves, some outside--that work against us in our efforts to listen. But once we learn what they are and how to fight them, we are well on our way to getting rid of wasteful listening habits.

45. The author suggests that it is a serious mistake

A. to ignore a speaker whose subject seems to be beyond you

B. to stop listening when the speaker's voice is not clear

C. to look away from the speaker

D. to do anything physical while listening

46. The author advises against

A. taking notes

B. trying to remember details rather than main ideas

C. listening too intently

D. reviewing the material after the speech is finished

47. Although this article is directed to the listener a speaker could conclude from it

that

A. he should never choose a controversial topic

B. he should speak as quickly as possible

C. humor is a necessary part of a good speech

D. his manner, actions, voice, and appearance should not attract unfavorable

attention

48. A person with several bad listening habits would be considered by Dr.

Nichols

A. hopeless

B. normal

C. a difficult case

D. lazy

Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:

An important new industry, oil refining, grew after the Civil War. Crude oil, or petroleum--a dark, thick ooze from the earth--had been known for hundreds of years. But little use had ever been made of it. In the 1850's Samuel M. Kier, a manufacturer in western Pennsylvania, began collecting the oil from local seepage and refining it into kerosene. Refining, like smelting, is a process of removing impurities from a raw material.

Kerosene was used to light lamps. It was a cheap substitute for whale oil, which was becoming harder to get. Soon there was a large demand for kerosene. People began to search for new supplies of petroleum.

The first oil well was drilled by E.L. Drake, a retired railroad conductor. In 1859 he began drilling in Titusville, Pennsylvania. The whole venture seemed so impractical and foolish that onlookers called it "Drake's Folly." But when he had drilled down about 70 feet (21 meters), Drake struck oil. His well began to yield 20 barrels of crude oil a day.

News of Drake's success brought oil prospectors to the scene. By the early 1860's these wildcatters were drilling for "black gold" all over western Pennsylvania. The boom rivaled the California gold rush of 1848 in its excitement and Wild West atmosphere. And it brought far more wealth to the prospectors than any gold rush.

Crude oil could be refined into many products. For some years kerosene continued to be the principal one. It was sold in grocery stores and door-to-door. In the 1880's and 1890's refiners learned how to make other products such as waxes and lubricating oils. Petroleum was not then used to make gasoline or heating oil. 49. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Oil Refining: A Historical Perspective

B. The California Gold Rush: Get Rich Quickly

C. Private Property: Trespassers Will Be Prosecuted

D. Kerosene Lamps: A Light in the Tunnel

50. According to the passage, many people initially thought that E. L. Drake had

made a mistake by

A. going on a whaling expedition

B. moving to Pennsylvania

C. searching for oil

D. retiring from his job

~i~ ~fd: 08

51. Why does the author mention the California gold rush?

A. To explain the need for an increased supply of gold

B. To indicate the extent of United States mineral wealth

C. To describe the mood when oil was first discovered

D. To argue that gold was more valuable than oil

52. The author mentions all of the following as possible products of crude oil

EXCEPT.

A. gasoline

B. kerosene

C. wax

D. plastic

Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:

Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage:

Only one generation ago, Mauritania's capital city was many days' walk from the Sahara. Today it is in the Sahara. The sand blows through the city streets and piles up against walls and fences. The desert stretches out as far as the eye can see.

In some parts of the Amazon rain forest in Brazil, all the trees have been cut down. The earth lies bare and dry in the hot sun. Nothing grows there anymore.

Over vast areas of every continent, the rainfall and vegetation necessary for life are disappearing. Already more than 40 percent of the earth's land is desert or desert-like. About 628 million people---one out of seven--live in these dry regions.

In the past, they have managed to survive, but with difficulty. Now, largely through problems caused by modem life, their existence is threatened by the slow, steady spread of the earth's deserts.

Many countries are experiencing similar problems. Poor land is farmed until it is worn out, and trees are cut for firewood, leaving the soil unprotected against wind and rain. In Peru, Chile, and Brazil, some areas that once were covered with forests now look like the moon. In India, some land has been so badly damaged by farming and tree cutting that mud now slides into the Indus and Ganges rivers. Cattle, sheep, and goats add to the problem by eating grass and other plants faster than they can grow back. In the United States, some highly populated areas (such as Los Angeles) are really deserts. Water must be piped in from hundreds of miles away--and this affects the water supply of other California communities.

Scientists still do not understand all the complex problems of the desert, but there have been many ideas for saving the land. Saudi Arabia has planted 10 million trees to help keep the sand from taking over fertile areas. The Israelis are again using some of the water collection systems left by the ancient peoples in the Negev desert. They plan to water their orchards with the extra water. Some Sahel farmers still raise cattle on their poor farm land, but before the cattle are sold, they are taken to greener lands in the south to get fat.

57. According to paragraph 1 what has happened in Mauritania?

A. The Sahara has spread until it has reached Mauritania capital.

B. Nothing has happened

C. It takes many days to walk through the Sahara.

D. Mauritania has moved its capital city into the Sahara.

58. In paragraph 3, "one out of seven" refers to

A. the number of people who live in dry regions.

B. the percentage of the earth's land that is desert-like.

C. more than a third of the land's earth

D. both A and C.

59. Paragraph 4 says "trees are cut for firewood." This is an example of

A. Peru's problems.

B. India's problems.

C. California's problems.

D. both A and B. "

60. In paragraph 5 "they are taken to the greener lands in the south. They refers to

A. the Sahel farm land.

B. the farmers.

C. the cattle.

D. both B and C.

71. Geologists, in contrast to some nongeologists, believe that knowledge of the concepts of geology can help to find petroleum and, furthermore, often think that petroleum geology and petroleum exploration are synonyms, which they are not. Guesses that petroleum is formed by the transformation of highly compressed organic material is already well known among the scientific community. If the petroleum geologists' view of oil generation and migration are not accepted, then present exploration methods would need extensive modification.

Some petroleum explorationists still do not admit to a need for geologists to aid them in their search. In 1982 a successful oil finder from Midland, Texas, admitted to not using geologists because when his competitors hired them, all it did was to increase their costs per barrel of oil found. The Russian State Oil Company is under a statutory obligation imposed by its government to put to the test every claim to an oil-finding method, be it a dowsing or some sophisticated scientific technique. There are many examples of the previous case, and some scientists argue that drilling according to a set of scientific data has the same outcome as drilling randomly.

Petroleum geology is only one aspect of petroleum exploration and production. Leaving aside atypical (t~) enterprises, petroleum exploration now involves integrated teams of people possessing a wide range of professional skills. These skills include deep knowledge of local social situations, which is involved in the purchase of potential oil fields especially in developing countries. Geophysical surveying is involved in collecting data that helps people decide where drilling is most appropriate. Petroleum engineering is concerned with activities related to the

most effective way of producing crude oil and natural gas.

2013中石油职称英语考试课文详解

1.The V alue of Time时间的价值 1."Time" says the proverb "is money". This means that every moment well-spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed, it will either produce some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market, or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. There can thus be no doubt that time is convertible into money. Let those who think nothing of wasting time remember this; let them remember that an hour misspent is equivalent to the loss of a banknote; and that an hour utilized is tantamount to so much silver or gold; and then they will probably think twice before they give their consent to the loss of any part of their time. 1.employ v. 使用，采用，雇佣，使忙于 employer n. 雇主，老板 employee n. 雇员，从业人员 employment n. 使用，职业，雇佣 Employment rate 就业率，雇用率 2.Either …or… 要么…要么…; 二者择一的 Neither… nor… 两者都不 Both… and… 两者都 3.fetch 取来，接来，到达 4.add to增添，添加，加强 5.so as to 以便，以致 6.enable sb to do sth 使得某人做某事 7.There is no doubt that…毫无疑问 8.think nothing of… 把… 视为平常 think a lot of… 看重；对… 高度评价 9.convertible adj. 可改变的，可交换的 convert v. … into… 使转变，转换，使…改变信仰 10.be equivalent to… 11.be tantamount to…相当于…; 无异于的 If you say one thing is tantamount to another, more serious thing, you are emphasizing how bad, unacceptable, or unfortunate the first thing is by comparing it to the second thing. 例句：What Bracey is saying is tantamount to heresy. 布里斯正在说的无异于异端邪说。 12.Think twice再三考虑，重新考虑 think twice about doing sth. 三思而后再决定做某事 13.Give one’s consent（n.）to sth…同意，赞成 例句：At approximately 11:30 p.m., pollard finally gave his consent to the search. 大约晚上11：30的时候，波拉得终于对搜查予以同意。
