Passage 3

Questions l1 to 15 are based on the following passage.

About 70 million Americans are trying to lose weight. That is almost l out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on diets. This means they eat less of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?

Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?

Almost 30 million Americans weigh at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. "The stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2.3 trillion pounds," says University of Massachusetts anthropologist(人类学家) George Americans. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.

Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new hooks like these are written. Each one boasts to help people to get rid of fat.

11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way of losing weight?

A. To eat less fats and sugars.

B. To take much exercise.

C. To have surgery.

D. To work hard.

C. they are misled by doctors

D. both A and B

13. The figures given in the third paragraph suggest that ____.

A. Americans are dependent on cars

B. cars consume a lot of money

C. Americans need losing weight

D. excess of fat can be source of energy

14. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____.

A. diet hooks are not always effective

B. diet books are usually helpful

C. there are lots of ways of losing weight

D. bookstores are keeping their promises

15. It can be concluded from the passage that ____.

A. people think too much of their appearance

B. there is not a sure way of losing weight as yet

C. surgery is the fastest way of losing weight

D. going on diet is a safe way of losing weight Passage 4

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from Readers Digest to test our vocabulary.

Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out "It pays to Enrich Your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Readers Digest knows the power that words have to move people to entertain, inform and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn't always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: "Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk. "

Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey ! That's usually how it is with Reader s Digest. The small and simple can be profound. As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I've been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hoe" , "guts", "faith" and "dreams". Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle-if it's the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It's a"secret" that

I hope I will never forget.

16. The passage is mainly about ____.

A. one of the many old memories

B. using simple words to express profound ideas

C. Readers Digest and school speeches

D. how to make effective speeches

17. It seems that Reader's Digest is a magazine popular with ____.

A. people of all ages

B. teenagers

C. school teachers

D. elderly readers

18. The example the author gives in the second paragraph might mean ____.

A. one spends his day playing and drinking

B. don't waste your time as one does

C. time slips easily if you don't make good use of it

D. time is just like drinking milk from a bowl

19. The author's "secret" is ____.

A. to avoid using big words at any time

B. to use words that have the power to move people

C. to work a miracle by using a small word

D. to use small and simple words where possible

20. According to the author, well-chosen words can give people ____.

A. hope, courage, and ideas

B. confidence, determination, and strength

C. pleasure, knowledge, and encouragement

D. entertainment, information, and power

Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪，40minutes)

Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of

comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer by

blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

In Washington D. C. , 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the President of the United States.

Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation's new capital city. George Washington, the first President, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The President's home was an important part of the plan.

A contest was held to pick a design for the President's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.

President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first President to live there was John Adams, the second President of the United States, and his wife. Mrs. Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.

In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.

After the war James Hoban. the original architect, partially rebuilt the President's home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.

The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than l.5 million visitors go through the five roams that are open to the public.

1. The White House was built in Washington ____.

A. because a French engineer was invited to design it

B. because President George Washington liked to live in it

C. because the British invaders lived in it in 1812-1814

D. because it was to be the nation's capital city

2. The Presidential Palace was ____.

A. painted gray and white

B. made of gray stone

C. made of white stone

D. made very warm in winter

3. The President's home and the city of Washington were ____.

A. built by the American army

B. built by the British troops

C. planned by George Washington

D. planned by the French

4. The original home of the President needed to be rebuilt ____.

A. because John Adams' wife did not like it

B. because it was cold in winter even with 50 fireplaces

C. because it had burned down during the war

D. because George Washington was not willing to live in it

5. The new presidential home was painted white to ____.

A. cover the marks of fire

B. attract tourists from France

C. to please Mrs. John Adams

D. keep it warm in winter

Passage 2

There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied,

Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember

vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.

To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test,

Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning's results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, while advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

6. Henning made the experiment in order to study ____.

A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memory

B. how students learn English vocabulary

C. how to develop students' ability in English

D. how long information in short-term memory is kept

A. Information in short term memory is different from that in long-term memory.

B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.

C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.

D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.

8. From Henning's results we can see that ____.

A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of words.

B. advanced students remember words by their meaning

C. it is difficult to remember words that sound alike

D. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning

9. The word "subject" in the passage means ____.

A. the college course the students take

B. the theme of the listening material

C. a branch of knowledge studied

D. the student experimented on

10. The passage centers on ____.

A. memory

B. two kinds of memory

C. short-term memory

D. an experiment on students Passage 3

The cowboy is the hero of many movies. He is, even today, a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like?

The cowboy's job is clear from the word cowboy. Cowboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east, But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy's job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns. The trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day,

The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn't stop rustlers, or cattle thieves, Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.

Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money.

They were paid badly. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.

15. Cowboys enjoyed themselves because ____.

A. they liked their way of life

Passage 4

Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw materials, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person. The history of industrial development abounds with examples.

In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings-a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the horse and the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been "economists" , they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million, Had they been "technologists" , they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mulepopulation would decline rapidly.

16. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U. S. farms in 1870?

A. Animals

B. Humans

C. Engines

D. Water

17. Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a consequence of new technological developments?

A. Older technologies die away.

A. technology began to be more economical

B. the steam engine had been invented

C. the U. S. horse population was about 10 million

D. a national commission on agriculture had been established

19. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that "economists" could ____.

A. plan the economy through yearly forecasts

B. fail to consider the influence of technological innovation

C. value the economic contribution of farm animals

D. consult the national commission on the economy

20. What is the author's attitude toward changes brought on by technological innovation?

A. He is excited about them.

B. He accepts them as natural.

C. He is disturbed by them.

D. He questions their usefulness.

Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪，40minutes)

Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.

There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beast more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eye-lids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.

1. A good title for this passage is ____.

A. Sleep

B. Good Health

C. Dreams

D. Work and Rest

2. The word "drowsy" in the last paragraph means ____.

A. sick

B. asleep

C. a little sleepy

D. nosy

3. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you ____.

A. dream more often

B. have poor health

C. nervous

D. breathe quickly

4. During REM, ____.

A. your eyes move often

B. you dream

C. you are restless

D. both A and B

5. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ____.

A. approximately six hours

B. around ten hours

C. about eight hours

D. not stated here

Passage 2

For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see the beauties of the countryside. This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and

nightfall.

In 1970, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory or hostel for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there, As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.

Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their card of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit him to use the facilities of hostels all over the world for very low prices.

Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or the world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just by meeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent "hostelling" can be just as useful a part of one's education as classes in school.

6. The author says children in the city seldom went to the woods and fields because ____.

A. these places were too far away for them to go between morning and nightfall

B. it was impossible for them to go and get back in one day

C. they were not old enough to take such a trip

D. they were not permitted to go to these places

7. By saying "His idea was a success", the author means ____.

A. the school master made a lot of money and got rich

B. the school master became very famous among young students

C. more and more young people went to the hostel for summer holidays

D. more and more young students came to study at his school

8. According to the passage, young people can pay less for their stay in the hostel if ____.

A. they share their food with each other

B. they can prove they have joined the hostel organization

C. they have brought enough equipment with them

D. they can prove that they are from a foreign country

9. In the author's opinion, young people can learn a lot during the days they speed "hostelling"

because ____.

A. they meet a lot of people from different places

B. they have such useful classes in the hostel as they don't have in schools

C. they have more interesting activities than at school

D. they are very much interested in life in the hostel

10. Which do you think might be the proper tide for this passage?

A. Youth Organization.

B. International Travel

C. Education Out of School.

D. Summer Holidays.

Passage 3

One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night. Advertising has been among England's biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer.

At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerance and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers(赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.

Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for-how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.

11. Which of the following can best describe the author's attitude toward modem advertising?

A. Indifferent

B. Shocked

C. Disappearing

D. Approving

12. According to the author, which is NOT the designer's chief concern when he designs a

product?

A. Stress factors

B. Man-hours.

C. Machine tolerance

D. Customer-appeal.

13. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer-appeal are _.

A. customers

B. designers

C. advertisers

D. manufacturers

14. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary, a manufacturer will choose to ____.

A. lower the production cost

B. hire a better designer

C. improve its quality

D. alter its image

15. The best title for the passage might be ____.

A. Advertising since the War

B. Advertising and Manufacturers

C. Advertising-England's Biggest Industry

D. Advertising and Purchasers

Passage 4

All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we don't know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it. Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switchyard( 调车场). All of the switches(转辙器）are set before the train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see. others we cannot. There is no ambiguity if we can see the setting of a switch; we can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.

When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our "track" many billions of years into the future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.

16. According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the dist universe because we ____.

A. have too many conflicting theories

B. do not have enough funding to continue our research

C. are not sure how the universe is put together

D. have focused our investigations on the moon and planets

17. What does the author see as the function of the universe's unseen "switches"?

A. They tell us which one of the tracks the universe will use.

B. They enable us to alter the course of the universe.

C. They give us information about the lunar surface.

D. They determine which course the universe will take in the future.

18. In the second paragraph, the word "track" could hest be replaced by which of the following?

A. Band

B. Rails

C. Path

D. Sequence

19. For whom is the author probably writing this passage?

A. Train engineers.

B. General audiences.

C. Professors of statistics.

D. Young children.

20. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage?

A. A statement illustrated by an analogy (类比).

B. A hypothesis supported by documentation (引用文献).

C. A comparison of two contrasting theories.

D. A critical analysis of a common assumption.

In Confucius Korea, Where marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul. The business of continuing the family lineage(血统) and keeping the bloodlines pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters. Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents can tell if she is interested. For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay. Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made by friends. But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man or woman in the country who has not gone through this process—sometimes six or seven times. 1、 The word "matchmaking" in this passage means ______. A. a very formal ritual (仪式) attended by boys and girls B. introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriage C. producing matches to make a fire or light a cigarette D. arranging games between men and women 2、 The fact that the first meeting is repeated again and again in coffee shops in the main hotels suggests that ______. A. Koreans like drinking coffee in coffee shops very much B. men and women want to meet as many times as possible C. they are busy with communicating with different people D. marriage is seen as a business contract instead of something sacred 3、 Why does the matchmaking still exist in Korea? ______ A. Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic. B. Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure. C. Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance. D. Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines. 4、 Which of the following is true according to the passage? ______ A. Almost every man or woman in Korea has to go through the matchmaking. B. From the signal the boy's parents know whether their son is interested in the girl or not. C.

If we use such cars in the future, there will be less pollution in the air. There will be more space for parking cars in cities, and the street will be less crowded. There such cars can park in the space that is needed for one of today’s cars. The little cars will be very cheap. They will be very safe, too. Because these little cars can go at a speed of only 65 kilometers per hour. The car of the future will be fine for getting around a city but they will not be useful for long trips. If the car is powered by electricity, it will have two batteries—one for the motor and the other for the lights, signals, etc. If the little cars run on gasoline, they will go 450 kilometers before they need to stop for more gas. If big cars are still used along with the small ones, we must build two sets of roads, one for the big and the other for the small, slower cars. 11 The” two cars” talked about in the first sentence of the first paragraph refer to two cars_______. A with a small size B used for long trips C running on electricity D bigger th an today’s cars
