Part Reading comprehension

Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the best answer to each question based on the passage. Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

The good news we get from TV and radio makes us feel more kindly toward other people, but bad news – especially news of cruelty and violence – stirs up suspicion and a sense of competition toward others.

These are the findings of 10 years of experiments by research psychologists (心理学家) at Columbia University, who conclude that broadcasters encourage hostile (敌对的) behavior by stressing bad news.

"We found that the news people are exposed to either encourages them to concentrate on the differences between themselves and others, or on the common problems that make them feel, 'We're all in this together,'" explained Dr. Harvey Hornstein. "News about one human being helping another … brings out feelings of trust and cooperation. But news about one person actually doing harm to another changes our estimate of other people for the worse."

In an early experiment in 1968, Dr. Hornstein and his associates, who had been dropping wallets for two years to test the honesty of people, discovered that on June 4, 1968, not one wallet was returned.

"That was the night Robert F. Kennedy was shot," he recalled. "Strangers suddenly seemed dangerous, and nobody wanted to return a lost wallet to a stranger.

" But good news on the other hand, lifts us up," he stressed, citing the date of July 4, 1976, America's Bicentennial celebration. "On that day, we all felt safe and good. Being American was the thing. We all felt as if we all belonged together."

Recent tests support these conclusions. In one experiment, 60 subjects were exposed to good news, bad news or music. Then they were told to play a game with a non-existent person supposedly in another room. It was a game of choice that emphasized cooperation or competition.

After hearing good news, the overwhelming majority, 91 percent, played cooperatively. But after hearing bad news, competitive responses were over three times as high – up to 28 percent, from 9 percent.

"If we watch television and see a lot of blood," said Dr. Hornstein, ―we're probably assuming that the world is a dirtier place than we assumed before we saw that TV violence. And we'll deal with the next individual we come upon as if he is part of that grim picture of humanity. After the good news, it's the reverse."

31. According to the findings of researchers at Columbia University, when people

hear good news, they feel ________.

A. happier

B. safer than they really are

C. more kindly toward others

D. more competitive

32. Dr. Harvey Hornstein found that when people hear news about one person actually

doing harm to another, they tend to ________.

A. regard other people as worse than they really are

B. treat total strangers as suspects of cruel crimes

C. become hostile towards neighbors and friends

D. think about the common problems facing mankind

33. What did Dr. Harvey Hornstein and his associates discover on the night of June 4,

1968?

A. Robert F. Kennedy was shot.

B. Their wallets were lost.

C. People in America suddenly became dishonest.

D. Nobody returned the wallets they dropped.

34. We can infer from the passage that on July 4, 1976, most probably ________.

A. lost wallets were returned to their owners

B. people drank and sang and danced

C. everybody wanted to be American

D. even criminals were friendly to others

35. We can conclude from the passage that ________.

A. violence on TV leads to more violence on the streets

B. the world is a dirtier place than we assume it to be

C. broadcasters should emphasize good news rather than bad news

D. people are more competitive when they are faced with challenges

Passage Two

Passage Three

Question 41-46 are based on the following passage:

No species more clearly represents America’s changing view of wildlife than the gray wolf. From the first arrivals of settlers in the 1600s until only the last couple of decades, wolves were generally viewed as a dangerous threat in this country. Evidence of this is found in the laws passed in both the colonies and later the states, which provided for a cash payment for each wolf skin turned over to local officials. Not only were such laws a means of obtaining much needed money, but it also encouraged the use of the wolf’s fur as clothing. This double benefit to the hunters succeeded in effectively wiping out the wolf population in most regions of the country. By 1950, wolves had been done away with everywhere in the lower 48 states except in the wildest part of northern Minnesota. This was the result of efforts to kill all wolves.

Most people now recognize the mistake of this persecution and understand the value of such vicious animals as the wolf within the wildlife community. The National Wildlife Federation has led the fight to get the government to pass a law protecting the wolf, in order to increase the population of the animal steadily. As a result, Congress has passed a law including this animal under the Endangered Species Act. Between 150 and 200 wolves are now wandering freely in Yellowstone National Park and the NWF is now working with both public and private organizations to make sure that wolves will be able to live in suitable habitats elsewhere in the country.

A. the preservation of wolves in Minnesota

B.the steady increase of the wolf population

C.the fight with large vicious animals

D.the American view that wolves should be killed

44 The word ―habitats‖ in the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning

to ______.

A. groups

B. places

C. seasons

D. periods

45 NWF in the passage means:

A. New World Funds

B. New Woman Foundation

C. National Wildlife Federation

D. National Wolf Federation

Passage Four

Questions 46 -50 are based on the following passage:

Before the mid-nineteenth century, people in the United States ate most foods only in season. Drying, smoking, and salting could preserve meat for a short time, but the availability of fresh meat, like that of fresh ilk, was very limited there ws no way to prevent food from going bad. But in 1810 a French inventor named Nicolas Appert developed the cooking-and-sealing process of condensing and preserving milk. Canned goods and condensed milk became more common during the 1860’s, but supplies remained low because cans had to be made by hand, By 1880, however, inventors had built machines that made it possible to produce cans from tinplates in large numbers Suddenly all kinds of food could be preserved and bought at all times of the year.

Other trends and inventions had also helped make it possible for Americans to vary their daily diets. Growing city populations created a demand that encouraged fruit and vegetable farmers to raise more produce. Railroad refrigeration cars enabled growers and meat packers to ship perishables great distances and to preserve them for longer periods. Thus, by the 1890’s, people living in northern cities could enjoy southern and western strawberries, grapes, and tomatoes, previously available for a month at most, for up to six months of the year. In addition, increased use of iceboxes enabled families to store perishables. An easy means of producing ice commercially had been invented in the 1870’s, and by 1900 the nation had more than two thousand commercial ice plants, most of which made home deliveries. The icebox became a fixture in most homes and remained so until the mechanized refrigerator takes its place in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

46 This passage mainly discusses ______.

A. causes of food going bad

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/957338845.html,mercial production of ice

C.inventions that led to changes in the American diets

D.population movements in the nineteenth century

A. decreased in number

B. were on an irregular schedule

C. increased in cost

D. occurred only in the summer

48 All the following preservations are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ______.

A. drying

B. canning

C. cold storage

D. using chemicals

49 The word ―fixture‖ in the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning

to ______.

A. equipment

B. food

C. grower

D. delivery

50 The word ―perishables‖ in the 2nd paragraph means that _________.

A. food that is likely to decay

B. food that is easy to store

Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the best answer to each question based on the passage. Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

our nose and brings congestion with it. You feel terrible because you can't breathe well, but your body is actually "eating" the virus. Your temperature rises and you get a Many people catch a cold in the springtime and/ or fall. It makes us wonder ... if scientists can send a man to the moon, why they can't find a cure for the common cold. The answer is easy. There are hundreds of kinds of cold viruses out there. You never know which one you will get, so there isn't a cure for each one.

When a virus attacks your body, your body works hard to get rid of it. Blood rushes to yfever, but the heat of your body is killing the virus. You also have a runny nose to stop the virus from getting to your cells. You may feel miserable, but actually your wonderful body is doing everything it can to kill the cold.

There is one interesting thing to note-some scientists say taking medicines when you have a cold is actually bad for you. The virus stays in you longer because your body doesn't have a way to fight it and kill it. Bodies can do a marvelous job on their own.

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

A study suggests that dirty air can reduce lung development. Researchers at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles published their work in the "New England Journal of Medicine". About one thousand seven hundred children from different communities in Southern California took part in the study. The scientists tested the children every year for eight years, starting at age ten. They say this is the longest study ever done on air pollution and the health of children. The scientists found that children who lived in areas with the dirtiest air were five times more likely to grow up with weak lungs. Many were using less than eighty percent of normal lung strength to breathe. The damage from dirty air was as bad as that found in children with parents who smoke. Children with reduced lung power may suffer more severe effects from a common cold, for example. But the researchers express greater concerns about long-term effects. They say adults normally begin to lose one percent of their lung power each year after age twenty. The doctors note that weak lung

activity is the second leading cause of early deaths among adults. The first is smoking. By the time people are eighteen, their lungs are fully developed, or close to it. The doctors say it is impossible to recover from any damage. Researchers say they are still not sure how air pollution affects lung development. They believe that pollution affects the tiny air spaces where oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) are exchanged. Arden Pope is an economics professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Professor Pope wrote a commentary about the study. He noted that air quality in Southern California has improved since the study began in the early nineteen-nineties. Clean-air laws have reduced pollution from vehicles, industry and other causes. But dirty air is still a problem in areas of California and other places. Professor Pope says continued efforts to improve air quality are likely to provide additional improvements in health.

36 A study done by researchers at the University of Southern California indicates

that ________.

A. 1,700 children from Southern California have weak lung activities

B. children in Southern California use less lung strength to breathe

C. air pollution may affect the growth of children's lungs

D.80 percent of children in Southern California suffer from air pollution

37 According to the article, children living in dirty air

A. may lose eighty percent of their normal lung strength

B. may suffer more severe effects from a common cold

C. were five times more likely to catch a common cold

D. were unlikely to recover from any lung damage

38 Why do the researchers express greater concern about the long-term effects of air

pollution on children?

A. They begin to lose 1% of their lung power each year after 20.

B. They do not show any signs of lung damage when they are young.

C. They may suffer early death when they grow up.

D.They cannot expect to have their lungs fully developed at 18.

39 What do we learn from the passage about the air in Southern California?

A. It is unlikely to improve in the near future.

B. It is free of pollution from vehicles and industry.

C. It is as dirty as it was before.

D. It is cleaner than it was in the early 1990s.

40 Professor Pope believes that ________.

A. improvement in air quality will provide further health benefits

B. clean-air laws should be passed to reduce air pollution in California

C. further studies should be done to find out how dirty air affects lung

development

D. air pollution does even greater harm to children's health than their parents'

smoking

Passage Three

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:

What makes money valuable? Why is a piece of paper marked $10 worth more than one marked $1? You could say there is no reason. It’s true that a special kind of paper is used to make dollar bills, and they are pretty, but that’s not what makes them valuable. The real reason money is valuable is that everyone believes it is.

Ancient economies had no paper money or coins. Some used barter — trading one thing for another. Others used all kinds of objects as money. Any object would do, as long as there was not an unlimited amount of it. Animals or metals were popular, and so were manufactured products like jewelry or weapons. Wealth in ancient Greece was measured in tools or cattle. This kind of money had two purposes. First, it was useful in itself. Tools and cattle can be used for farming. And second, it was a way to symbolize (象征) and measure value. A house, for example, would be valued at a certain number of tools or cattle. This greatly simplified trade. Other societies used money that was totally symbolic. For instance, American Indians used wampum, which is made from seashells. And until recently on the Pacific island of Yap, people used large stone discs as money.

In most places these types of money died out because more practical forms of money were invented. People started using precious metals, such as gold and silver, that were easier to carry around than tools or stones. And in the eighteenth century, paper money was introduced. At first people were suspicious of the new currency, but they came to accept it because the government or bank issuing it would exchange an equal amount of gold for the paper. A $10 bill really was worth $10 0f gold. But now, people are used to the idea that the government doesn’t have to back its money with gold. Everyone believes that a $10 bill is worth $10 and that is good enough. But if, for some reason, people ever lost faith in paper money, ten dollars wouldn’t be worth the paper it’s printed on.

41 Which of the following in NOT mentioned as the first kind of money?

A. Animals

B. Houses

C. Metals

D. Weapons

42 The pronoun it (line3, para. 2) refers to __________.

Passage Four

When Berenice Belizaire arrived in New York from Haiti with her mother and sister in 1987, she was not very happy. She spoke no English. The family had to live in a small and crowded Brooklyn apartment, a far cry from the comfortable house they'd had in Haiti. Her mother, a nurse, worked long hours. School was torture. Berenice had always been a good student, but now she was learning a new language while enduring constant taunts from the Americans. They cursed her in the cafeteria and threw food at her. Someone hit her sister in the head with a book. "Why can't we go home?" Berenice asked her mother.

Because home was dangerous. The schools weren't always open anymore, and education –her mother insisted –was the most important thing. Her mother had always pushed her: memorize everything, she ordered.

"I have a pretty good memory," Berenice admitted last week. Indeed, the other kids at school began to notice that Berenice always, somehow, knew the answers. "They started coming to me for help," she says. "They never called me a nerd ."

Within two years Berenice was speaking English, though not well enough to get into one of New York's elite public high school. She had to settle for a neighborhood school, James Madison, a school with a history of unlikely success stories. "I didn't realize what we had in Berenice at first," says math teacher Judith Khan. "She was good at math, but she was quiet. And the things she didn't know! She applied for a summer program in Buffalo and asked me how to get there on the subway. But she always seemed to ask the right questions. She understood the big ideas. She could think on her feet. She could explain difficult problems so the other kids could understand them. Eventually I realized she wasn't just pushing for grades, she was hungry for knowledge … And you know it never occurred to me that she also was doing well in English and history, all these other subjects that had to be much tougher for her than math."

46 Berenice and her family came to the United States so that ________.

A. she could get a good education

B. they could live a comfortable life

C. they could learn to speak perfect English

D. she could enjoy school together with her sister

47 How did the American students treat Berenice and her sister when they first came

to New York?

A. They tried to help them.

B. They looked down upon them.

C. They tried to make friends with them.

D. They kept a distance from them.

48 How was it that the American children never called Berenice a nerd?

A. They came to know she had a pretty good memory.

B. She spoke English as if she were a native American.

C.She could help them with their schoolwork.

D. They knew she had always been a good student.

49 Why didn't Berenice get into an elite public school?

A. Her family couldn't afford the cost.

B. Her English wasn't good enough.

C. It was too far away from where her family lived.

D. The neighborhood school she went to had a history of unlikely success stories.

50 Why did Berenice make such rapid progress in her studies after she came to

America according to her math teacher?

A.There were so many things she didn't know.

B. The summer program she went to help her a lot.

C. Her mother pressed her for good grades.

D. She had a thirst for knowledge.

Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel. 3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to teach him how to do it properly. 4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity. 5. Most of them displayed the same attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel. 6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach the child that on can solve a problem effectively by oneself. 7. He means that this incident pointed to important differences in educational and artistic practices between China and the USA. 8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to teach the child by guiding his hand in the characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided. 9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old were producing works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day. 10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity. 11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of thinking. 12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills. Text Organization Working On Your Own 1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote. 2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West. 3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in the form of a question. 2.

He was acknowledging one of our most distinctive characteristics：the fact that we are social animals whose behavior and personalities are shaped by the groups to which we belong. Throughout life，most of our daily activities are performed in the company of others. Whether our purpose is working，playing，raising a family，learning，or simply relaxing，we usually pursue it in groups，even if the group is as small as two or three people. Out need for human contacts is not merely a practical one；it is a deep psychological need as well. If people are deprived of the company of others for prolonged periods，mental breakdown is the usual result. Even the Geneva Convention（日内瓦公约），an international agreement that regulates the treatment of prisoners of war，recognizes this need. It regards solitary （孤独的）imprisonment for more than thirty day as a cruel form of torture（折磨）。 In its strictest sense， a group is a collection of people interacting together in an orderly way on the basis of shared expe ctations about one another‘s behavior. As result of this interaction，members feel a common sense of“belonging.”They distinguish members from nonmembers and expect certain kinds of behavior from outsiders. 21.By“No man is an island，”John Donne means _____. A.no one can live on an island alone B.a man is not surrounded by sea on all sides C.a man and an island are irrelevan D.no one can live in isolation from other people 22.The fact that we work or even play in groups illustrates the point that ____. A.poeple are different from animals B.Donne recognized the group to which he belonged C.human beings are social animals D.human behavior and personalities are formed by others 23.“Breakdown”as used in Line 6，Paragraph 2 most probably denotes ____. A.separation B.collapse C.analysis D.function 24.According to the passage，what is NOT a characteristic of group？ A.There are at least two people in it. B.The members share some common grounds. C.The members work for one purpose. D.The members interact regularly with each other. 25.This passage is mainly about _______. A.the importance of human contacts B.pattens of human behavior C.the importance of human activities D.patterns of human society Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline（轮廓）of Manhattan （曼哈顿）for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day. Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures(手势), but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights（霓虹灯）, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to talk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try. When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted（筋疲力尽）, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens（警笛声）during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall buildings and big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to speak English. 1. On the way to his hotel, the writer______. a. was silent all the time
