II．Reading Comprehension: Choose the best answer for each question.（20*3=60）Passage One

Everyone who eats in Carman's Country Kitchen in South Philadelphia knows that if you need a job, a place to stay or a friendly ear on a blue day, you come to Carman Luntzel. The six-foot, 46-year-old powerhouse not only cooks, she also acts as her restaurant's discussion leader and matchmaker. When breakfast regular Stephen Sacavitch wasn't meeting women, she put his picture on a bulletin board, with the words: "Girls. Nice guy. Give him a break."

Last September a coffeepot left on a red-hot burner nearly destroyed the restaurant. Luntzel didn't have insurance. But bad news has a way of turning good at Carman's.

Bereft at the thought of no more buttermilk pancakes or homemade pear pie －and no more Carman dishing out advice and help －her customers pitched in. They boarded up her windows, removed debris and primed and painted her scorched walls. It wasn't just the regulars. A guy on a motorcycle dropped off some cash. A woman from a nearby restaurant scoured charred dishes and stuck two $50 bills in Luntzel's pocket as she left. Just three weeks after the blaze, Luntzel was serving breakfast again. "It was incredible," she says.

"There's a sense about Carman that is just can-do," says regular Kevin Vaughan. "It's infectious."

1. The word "powerhouse" in paragraph one means ________.

(a) a small powerplant (b) a good restaurant

2. Carman Luntzel was all of the following except ________.

(a) a cook (b) a discussion leader (c) a matchmaker (d) an insurance agent

(b) Luntzel lost a coffeepot.

(d) Carman could always turn bad news into good news.

4. How many weeks did it take to reopen the restaurant?

(a) Two weeks. (b) Three weeks. (c) Two months. (d) Three months.

5. What was infectious about the restaurant?

(a) The food served. (b) The efficiency of work

Passage Two

One night last July, my 12-year-old car died on California's Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn't reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.

A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. "Four more lights," she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.

She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive cab ride home.

Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield. It was out of service. But the door opened, and darned if it wasn't the same driver.

"I just can't leave you here," she said. "This isn't the nicest place. I'll give you a ride home."

"You'll drive me home in the bus?" I asked, perplexed.

"No, I'll take you in my car," she said.

"It's a long way," I protested.

"Come on," she said. "I have nothing else to do."

As we drove from the depot in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. "I’m just passing the favor along," she said.

When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn't hear of it. "That wouldn't make it a favor," she said. "Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along."

6. After the car broke down, the author decided to ________.

(a) have it repaired (b) walk home (c) take a bus (d) wait for a lift

7. The bus driver told the author that ________.

(a) her bus had four lights

(b) her route was a long one

(d) she would help as far as four traffic lights

8. The bus driver came back to the author because ________.

(a) the bus was out of service

(b) she had no lighted number

(d) she wanted to take the author to another bus

9. When the bus driver's brother had run out of gas a few days earlier, he ________.

(a) was left on the way (b) walked to a service station

10. In the end of the passage, the bus driver suggested that the author ________.

(a) offer some money

(b) say thank you

(d) pass the favor along

Passage Three

In any field it's important to have ambition and drive. But having worked as a psychologist with athletes, executives, artists and young people, I've learned that

those who rise to the headiest heights in any field aren't necessarily the ones with the greatest natural talent. They're the diligent few who put in the hours. They work hard. And then they work harder.

Recent research by fellow psychologists bears out the significance of focused hard work. In 1988, K. Anders Ericsson of Florida State University in Tallahassee and colleagues in Germany compared the careers of two groups of young musicians. The ten members of the first group were identified as potential topflight international performers. Another ten were identified as merely "good". Ericsson also included ten violinists performing in orchestras of international reputation, such as the Berlin Philharmonic. Both student groups kept diaries of their current practice schedules, and all three groups provided estimates of their earlier schedules.

Of the student musicians, Ericsson found, by the age of 20, the "good" group had practiced 7500 hours －an impressive total. But the potential world-class performers had practiced a staggering 10 000 hours －the equivalent of more than a year of hard work. "It's the difference between a college freshman and a junior," Ericsson says. Moreover, the top group's total practice time matched almost exactly that of the symphony performers at the same age.

Of course, there's a difference between hard work and drudgery. Keeping your nose mindlessly to the grindstone will only get you abraded nostrils. It's important to put in the hours. But it's not just the hours that count. For hard work to really pay off, you need to work effectively.

11. According to the author, the most important quality for one desiring the greatest achievements is ________.

(a) ambition (b) drive (c) the greatest natural talent (d) hard work

12. It can be learned from the passage that the aim of Ericsson's research work was ________.

(a) to find the highflying

(b) to find the best young musicians

(d) to understand the psychology of potentially successful musicians

13. Ericsson's research showed that ________.

(a) the potential world-class performers had spent more years practicing in school

(b) the students in the "good" group had not worked very hard

world-class performers were college juniors

(d) the students in the top group spent much more time practicing

14. The word "drudgery" in the last paragraph means ________.

(a) laziness (b) light work (c) dull work (d) interesting work

15. A good title for the passage is: ________.

(a) Ericsson and His Research

(b) The Difference between Hard Work and Effective Work

(d) The Importance of Hard Work

Passage Four

In India, almost all marriages are arranged. Even among the educated middle classes in modern, urban India, marriage is as much a concern of the families as it is of the individuals. So customary is the practice of arranged marriage that there is a special name for a marriage which is not arranged: It is called a "love match."

On my first field trip to India, I met many young men and women whose parents were in the process of "getting them married." In many cases, the bride and groom would not meet each other before the marriage. At most they might meet for a brief conversation, and this meeting would take place only after their parents had decided that the match was suitable. Parents do not compel their children to marry a person who either marriage partner finds objectionable. But only after one match is refused will another be sought.

As a young American woman in Indian for the first time, I found this custom of arranged marriage oppressive. How could any intelligent young person agree to such a marriage without great reluctance? It was contrary to everything I believed about the importance of romantic love as the only basis of a happy marriage. It also classed with my strongly held notions that the choice of such an intimate and permanent relationship could be made only by the individuals involved. Had anyone tried to arrange my marriage, I would have been defiant and rebellious!

At the first opportunity, I began, with more curiosity than tact, to question the young people I met on how they felt about this practice. Sita, one of my young informants, was a college graduate with a degree in political science. She had been waiting for over a year while her parents were arranging a match for her. I found it difficult to accept the docile manner in which this well-educated young woman awaited the outcome of a process that would result in her spending the rest of her life with a man she hardly knew, a virtual stranger, picked out by her parents.

16. According to the narrator, most marriages in India ________.

(a) are love matches (b) concern individuals only

17. While arranging a marriage, the parents usually ________.

(a) let the bride and groom know each other well before they marry

(b) decide whether the marriage is suitable

(d) look for many matches for one of their children at the same time

18. The narrator found the arranged marriages to be ________.

(a) defiant (b) practical (c) romantic (d) unbearable

19. The word "docile" in paragraph four means ________.

(a) rebellious (b) painful (c) educated (d) timid

20. A good title for the passage is: ________.

(a) A Love Match and an Arranged Match

(b) My Experience in India

(d) Why Marriages Are Arranged in India

3 大学英语四级阅读理解试题及答案（四）十六 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus cause wounds. The health of a tree may be encouraged by removing branches that are blocking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air. One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry for disease, but itis a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the desease as to whether the tree will live or die, so that there is a period when the tree is at risk. It should be the aim of every gardener to reduce which has been pruned smooth and clean, for healing will be slowed down by roughness. You should allow the cut surface to dry for a few hurs and then paint it with one of the substances available from garden shops produced especially for this purpose. Pruning is usually without interference from the leaves and also it is very unlikely that the cuts yu make will bleed. If this does happen,it is, of course,impossible to paint them properly. 1.Pruning should be done to ______. a.make the tree grow taller

阅读理解 B 42、Martin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later. Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.

The next morning, he found that the doors had been blocked by chairs and the furniture had been moved. Though Mr. James had turned the lights off before he went to bed, they were on in the morning.

In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families can not be moved from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families. In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may remain childless and consists only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take child raising as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people's children, leaving those families free to move from job to job. (1)、The passage discusses influence of science and industry on American families.

I looked everywhere for it, but I couldn't find it anywhere. The next morning, I got ready for school as usual. When the bell rang, the students came in. I greeted them first and then told them what we were going to do that day. When I turned around to write on the blackboard, the class broke out a roar! They laughed and laughed. They laughed so much, in fact, that I was afraid the headmaster would be into seeing all this. I asked the class to stop, but the more I talked, the more they laughed. I decided to pay no attention to them and I continued to write on the blackboard. When I did this, they roared even more. Finally, the teacher who had the room next to mine came in to see what all the laughter was about. When he came in, he started laughing, too!

八年级英语阅读竞赛试卷 Name:__________ Class:___________ A Sociologists(社会学家), working in western countries, have found that a large number of women wished they had been born men. The number is said to be as high as 60% in Germany. “Women often wish they had the same chances as men have, and think it is still men’s world.” Said Dr. James Helen, one of the sociologists who did the study. Many men say that they have more duties than women. A man has to make money to support(养活) his family and to make the important decision, so it is right for men to be paid more. Some are even against their wives working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children cannot be taken good care of. If women take full-time jobs, they won’t be able to do what they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing up the children. Some women disagree. They say they want to get out of their homes and to have freedom to choose between work and home life. Women have the right of equal pay and equal chances. Anne Harper has a very good job. She also believes in “Women’s Liberation”. “I don’t wish I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish people would stop treating us like second-class people. At work, for example, we usually do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs only to men usually they are the best ones. If you are a man, you have a much better chance of living a wonderful life. How many women scientists are there…or engineers?” 1.Many men think_______. A. women can’t do what men can. B. men have to work much harder than women C. men can make money more easily than women. D. women’s duty is mainly to do housework at home. 2.Some women have different ideas. They say that____________. A. women need chances to go out of the home more often. B. women want more freedom in deciding the kind of life they want. C. if women are given equal pay, they can do everything instead of men. D. women are no longer interested in taking care of their homes. 3. Anne Harper thought that women should _________. A. live a better life than men B. be really liberated C. be given better jobs than men D. live a more wonderful life than men 4. Anne Harper didn’t wish to be a man __________. A. because she believed in “Women’s Liberation” B. but she wished to get the same job as men C. because she had got a good job D. but she wished to be treated the same as a man 5. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A. There are more men scientists, engineers than women ones. B. Women are second-class people, so they shouldn’t live a better life. C. Women do the same jobs as men, but get paid less than men.

Passage 1 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the countr y. If one likes garden, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London. D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside. 2. With the same money needed for ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 3. When the garden is in blossom, the one ________ has been rewarded. A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden. C. having a garden of his own. D. having been digging, planting and watering 4. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ________ if they had to live outside London. A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life 5. The underlined phrase “get away from” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A. deal with B. do away with C. escape from D. prevent from 很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外，然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。这也就意味着他们不得不早出晚归。
