Part II. Reading Comprehension (30 points)

Directions: There are nine passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1

Most of the big towns in Eastern Europe have seen a large increase in population over the last 30 years. This has caused extreme housing shortages, and the vast majority of people living in towns rent flats. By western standards, the flats are rather small, with a family of four living in two-or three-room flat with kitchen or bathroom. But compared with Western Europe, the

rents are extremely low.

An Eastern European spends on average about 5 percent of his income on rent and about 15 percent on total housing costs, including fuel and furniture. In Western Europe, the average worker spends at least 20 percent of his income on rent and heating cost. On the other hand, the Eastern European spends a higher percentage of his income on food. Whereas basic items such as bread are very cheap, other things like meat and coffee are extremely expensive.

Caring for people is one area where the states of Eastern Europe are far in advance of other parts of the world. Most medical and social services are provided free, and in some countries workers do not even have to make contributions to the health and insurance funds, since these contributions are made by the employer. The factory in Eastern Europe provides many facilities and services which are not supplied in Western Europe. Moreover, Eastern Europe does not suffer from one of the major problems of Western Europe?s economy—unemployment. All the constitutions of the individual countries state that every citizen has a right and duty to work.

91. The serious housing shortage in big towns of Eastern Europe have been caused mainly by________. C. an increase in population

92. According to the passage, the rents in Western Europe ____. A. are rather high

93. The average worker in Eastern Europe spends _______.C. a large part of his income on food.

94. The worker in some Eastern European states enjoy better medical and social services because_____. B. it is their employers who pay for their health and insurance funds.

95. Which of the following is not true? D. Western Europe does not suffer from one of the serious problems of Eastern Europe?s economy.

Passage 2

Psychologists now believe that noise has a considerable effect on people?s attitudes and behavior. Experiments have proved that in noisy situations (even temporary ones), people behave more irritably and less cooperatively; in more permanent noisy situations, many people cannot work hard, and they suffer from severe anxiety as well as other psychological problems.

However, psychologists distinguish between “sound” and “noise”. “Sound” is measured physically in decibels. “Noise” cannot be measured in the same way because it refers to the psychological effect of sound and its level of “intensity” depends on the situation. Thus, for passengers at an airport who expect to hear aeroplanes taking off and landing, there may be a lot of sound, but not much noise (that is, they are not bothered by the noise). By contrast, if you are at a concert and two people behind you are whispering, you feel they are talking noisily even if there is not much sound. You notice the noise because it affects you psychologically.

Both sound and noise can have negative effects, but what is most important is if the person has control over the sound. People walking down the street with earphones, listening to music that they enjoy, are receiving a lot of decibels of sound, but they are probably happy hearing sounds which they control. On the other hand, people in the street without earphones must tolerate a lot of noise which they have no control over. It is noise pollution that we need to control in order to help people live more happily.

96. According to the selection, people_______. A. can not work better in a noisy situation

97. “Sound”, as defined by psychologists, ______. D. can be measured by machines.

98. People waiting at an airport ______. A. enjoy hearing aeroplanes taking off and landing.

99. People enjoy listening to music_______. A. though, in fact, they are receiving a lot of decibels of sound.

100. We can conclude from the passage that we need to control noise pollution if _____.

A. we want to stay both psychologically and physically healthy.

Passage 3

Ever since William Harvey defined an animal?s heart as “the sovereign of everything within them, the sum of their microcosm,” in De Motu Cordis in 1628, the heart has been one of the most widely studied organs of the body ? and fortunately so, given that heart disease is the world?s leading cause of death.

Each year, around 8 million people die from heart attacks and many millions more suffer from, and eventually succumb to, heart diseases such as con(本文来自:WwW.xiaOCaofAnweN.Com 小草范文 网:奥鹏高级英文写作练习题答案)gestive heart failure and arrhythmia (心律不齐). Global figures are rising, yet calculations suggest that this number could be slashed by around 50 per cent if smoking were removed from the equation. However, decreases would be offset to some degree as the world?s population ages, diets become more fat-laden and lifestyles more sedentary (久坐的), as all these factors are harmful to a healthy heart.

Although scientific study of the heart began four centuries ago, the past few decades have seen a paradigm (范例) shift in research. We are now able to monitor the process of contraction and relaxation that underlies the gross function of the heart at close quarters by tracking the movement of calcium (钙) and other ions (离子) within myocytes (肌细胞). And genetic

information is used in trial heart gene therapy. As with all diseases, understanding the processes involved at the molecular and genetic level is enabling us to make ioads in preventing and treating heart disease.

101. If there is no one smoking, people suffering from heart diseases can be reduced _________.

C. by about half

102. According to the passage, _________ is harmful to our hearts. B. long-time sitting

103. Scientific study of the heart _________. C. is different from what it used to be

104. At the molecular level, researchers study the heart _________. C. by doing trial heart gene therapy

D. by observing the heart beat of the subjects

105. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Smoking used to be the only factor contributing to heart diseases.

Passage 4

Anini holds the singular distinction in India of being the only district capital without an all-weather road providing basic transportation. Now, in what is believed to be the most remote cyber center in all of India, a new state-of-the-art computer center has put Anini on the “information superhighway.”

The facility is one of 487 free community information centers that the Government of India has been installing throughout northeastern India. The US$75 million project, which has wide political support, is part of a plan by the Ministry of Information Technology to bridge the digital divide in isolated corners of this vast nation, which is about a third as large as the United States and has slightly more than a billion people, a population second only to China?s. People in the region hail the computer center as the first step in what they hope will be a permanent road linking them with the outside world.

Until recently, there was no road at all leading in and out of Anini. The six Pentium computers and accessories provided for the new community information center had to be transported on elephant back. About a year ago, the federal government?s Border Roads Organization opened part of a 228-kilometer (141-mile) road that, when finished, will extend from Anini to the nearest road link, at Roeing. Much as it?s needed, the new unpaved road is only a start.

106. Which description of Anini is true according to the passage?

D. It has very bad transportation conditions.

107. Anini got its new computer center _________. B. thanks to political support

108. The new computer center _________. . is warmly welcomed by the locals

109. The computers and accessories _________.A. were carried to Anini by elephants

110. The 141-mile road _________.A. as not been finished

Passage 5

It?s very necessary for Canada to set up effective transportation system because of its enormous size with its sparsely populated distribution. It is also very difficult to make transportation construction on the surface of the country due to its harsh long winter and its mountainous terrain. It?s really amazing for this country to set up a transcontinental railroad since last century. Until 1990, the route length was more than 86,880 kilometers. Most of the country?s freight are transported by Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Railway. But nowadays fewer and fewer people travel by train.

Water transportation was very important before railway construction. Although passenger travel by water is less important than before, waterways remain important for cargo transporting. Waterways include lakes, rivers and sea coastlines. One of the most significant water transportation system is St. Lawrence seaway from the Atlantic Ocean to the west of Lake Superior.

Because of the increasing number of automobiles, Canada?s road transportation develops very quickly. In 1991, road length has been more than 849,400 kilometers. Road system is becoming more and more important. Trucks carry nearly half of the total freight transported in Canada. Early in 1962, Canada had Trans-Canada Highway with the length of more than 7.7 kilometers, extending from St. Johns, New Brunswick to Victoria, British Columbia.

With the development of transportation, airplanes became another necessary vehicles since aeroplanes could be the only access to some areas of the far northern region. Canadian transportation system develops very

quickly with the increasingly advanced science and technology. The aim of the transportation is to use substitute fuels and to produce more efficient transportation facilities.

111. Despite its _________, Canada now boasts a transcontinental

railroad.D. harsh long winter

112. Nowadays, the Canadian railway is mainly used to _________.

A. transport freight

113.Nearly 50% of the total freight transported in Canada is accomplished by _________.C. trucks

114. Airplanes are important in transportation in Canada _________.

D. because they can go to some areas that cannot be reached by other transports

115. The passage is mainly about _________.B. the different forms of transport in Canada

Passage 6

Students graduating from colleges today are not fully prepared to deal with the “real world”. It is my belief that college students need to be taught more skills and information to enable them to meet the challenges that face everyone in daily life. The areas in which students need training are playing the credit game, planning their personal financial strategy, and consumer awareness.

Learning how to obtain and use credit is probably the most valuable knowledge a young person can have. Credit is a dangerous tool that can be of tremendous help if it is handed with caution. Having credit can enable people to obtain material necessities before they have the money to purchase them outright. But unfortunately, many, many young people get carried away with their handy plastic credit cards and awake one day to find they are in serious financial debt. Learning how to use credit properly can be a very difficult and painful lesson indeed.

Of equal importance is learning how to plan a personal budget. People have to know how to control money; otherwise, it can control them. Students should leave college knowing how to allocate their money for living expenses, insurance, savings, and so forth in order to avoid the “Oh, no! I?m flat broke and I don?t get paid again for two weeks!” anxiety syndrome.

Along with learning about credit and personal financial planning, graduating college students should be trained as consumers. The consumer market today is flooded with a variety of products and services of varying quality and prices. A young person entering the “real world” is suddenly faced with difficult decisions about which product to buy or whose services to engage. He is usually unaware of such things as return policies, guarantees, or repair procedures. Information of this sort is vital knowledge to everyday living.

For a newly graduated college student, the “real world” can be a scary place to be when he or she is faced with such issues as handling credit, planning a budget, or knowing what to look for when making a purchase and whom to purchase it from. Entering this “real world” could be made less painful if person were educated in dealing with these areas of daily life. What better place to accomplish this than in college?

116. According to the writer, graduating students____________.

D. do not have the necessary knowledge and skills to deal with the realities of life.

117. The writer points out that many young people_____.

B. have to depend on credit to purchase some material necessities

118. Students suffer from an anxiety syndrome because____________.

C. they run out of money and can?t cover their living expenses

119. To “train students as consumers” means to enable them to______.

C. make wise purchasing decisions and be informed about consumer services

120. By asking “What better place to accomplish this than in college?” the writer means that _______.

A. the best place to train students to deal with personal financial issues is in college

Passage 7

There are many ways of putting out a fire.

You may have seen people put out burning cigarettes by stepping on them. Stepping on a burning cigarette shuts off the air and puts out the fire.

Many fires are put out with water. Water cools the material that is burning. It helps smother a fire, too. Some of the water is changed into steam when it strikes the hot fire. The stem shuts off air from the fire and helps put it out.

Some fires cannot be put out with water. They have to be smothered with sand or with chemicals of some kind, such as those used in some fire extinguishers. Suppose a tank full of gasoline is on fire. Gasoline is lighter than water. If you poured water into the tank of gasoline, the water would sink to the bottom of the tank. The gasoline would float on top of the water and would probably keep on burning. If you keep on putting water on the fire, the gasoline would flow over the edge of the tank. Then the fire would spread.

121. What are the major ways of putting out fires as mentioned in the passage?

A. With water and with sand and chemicals.

122. Water can put out a fire because _______________.

B. water is the only way to put out a fire.

123. Gasoline fires cannot be put out with ________________.B water

124. If you put water into the tank of gasoline, ______.

D. water would not be mixed with gasoline.

125. The best title of the passage would be______________.

C. How to Put Out a Fire.

Passage 8

It is not necessary to write in order to send messages. In the old days, people who could not write used to send messages to one another in many different ways.

The Indians used smoke to send signals. They made a fire and put wet grass on it. Then they covered the fire with a wet blanket. After a few moments, they took the blanket away again. This made a cloud of smoke. They could send simple messages in this way. One cloud of smoke meant, “Danger”. Two clouds meant, “ Everything is all right.” Three clouds meant, “Help”.

In the thick forest of Africa, it used to be difficult to travel from village to village. But drums could be heard from many miles away. People in this part of the world discovered that they could use their drums for sending messages. They did not use a special code like the Morse Code. They made their drums “speak” like people. They did this by playing tunes that sounded like simple sentences in their languages.

The Incas of South America never developed a way of writing their language, but they used to send messages by trying knots in rope. Men used to run with such knotted ropes from town to town along the Inca roads. Many of these rope messages have been found, but nobody can understand what they mean.

126. In the old days, people____________.

C.used different ways to send messages

127. Which of the following took place first when Indians used smoke to send messages?

B They covered the fire with wet grass.

128. ________used to send messages by playing tunes on drums. A.Africans

129. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

D. Nobody now can understand what the Incas meant by trying knots in rope.

130. The best title of the passage would be __.D .ending Messages.

Passage 9

Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently---to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at eh correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles on relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.

Muscles are stringy bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics: they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.

More than half a person?s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary—in other
