Section3.
Reading Comprehension (20marks)
Passage I
Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage
Every Western doctor is required to take the Hippocratic Oath, by which they swear to never harm their patients. Unfortunately, as medical history shows, many doctors did not make good on this promise. Instead, they resorted to quackery, and made a living out of fooling people who sought medical help.
In the past, quack doctors claimed to have “fixed” problems from poor eyesight to cancer and smallpox. They claimed to be able to work medical miracles, relying on public ignorance of medicine for their “success”. In addition, well-meaning doctors often advocated treatments that harmed their patients instead of helping them: procedures such as bloodletting often made worse the suffering they were intended to ease.
The typical feature of quackery is ignorance. Unwary people are easily taken in by claims of the doctors they trust. For example, in the 1800s, psychologists commonly used basket-shaped devices to determine personality, with questionable benefit. Based on the idea that different parts of the brain control different character traits, the devices determined personality by measuring the size and shape of people’s heads!
Of all the ridiculous devices created by quacks, the most inventive was perhaps the “radionic” machine. In the early 1900s, quacks claimed radionics could diagnose any sickness, even though the devices were just wooden boxes with lights inside. After radionic diagnosis, patients were sent home with the assurance that they would get well. No medicine was prescribed because, quacks claimed, the radionic machine would broadcast the cure to patients, much like radio stations broadcast music!
The quackery of the 19th and early 20th centuries was not limited to the use of strange devices, nor to crooked doctors. Nor were quack procedures anything new. The practice of bloodletting had been a popular treatment for over a millennium. In the name of medicine, large volumes of blood were drained from people’s bodies to cure their sickness. Death more often than not, was the outcome, though usually the disease was blamed rather than the loss of blood.
It’s easy to look back on the past and brand questionable medical procedures as
quackery. However, hindsight is 20/20. Perhaps in the future, people will look back on some of today’s medical practices with similar suspicion.
26. In the past, many doctors managed to fool patients by taking advantage of _____.
27. Using a basket-shaped device, psychologists in the 1800s would measure the size and shape of one’s head to ________________.
28. Why didn’t the quacks prescribe any medicine for their patients after radionic diagnosis?
29. As a popular medical treatment in the past, bloodletting usually caused death instead of _________________.
30. What is the possible conclusion of the article?
Passage II
Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage
Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but –regardless of whether it is or isn’t –we won’t do much about it. We will arguer over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemn—sounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.
A1 Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth” as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we don’t know enough to relieve global warming, and without major technological breakthroughs—we can’t do much about it.
From 2003 to 2050, the world’s population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase, if energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emission (mainly CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050. But that’s too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the world’s poor to their present.
Poverty will freeze everyone else’s living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions will more than double by 2050.
No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global
warming. Still, politicians want to show they’re “doing something” consider the Kyoto Protocol. It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didn’t. But it hasn’t reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories didn’t adopt tough enough policies to hit their 2008-2012 targets.
The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking our dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.
The trouble with the global warming debates is that it has become a moral problem when it’s really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we don’t solve the engineering problem, we’re helpless.
31. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph?
A. It may not prove an environmental crisis at all.
B. It is an issue requiring worldwide commitments
C. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it
D. Very little will be done to bring it under control
32. According to the author’s understanding, what is A1 Gore’s view on global warming?
A. It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of
B. It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences
C. It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized
D. It is an area we actually have little knowledge about
33. Greenhouse emission will be more than double by 2050 because of ______.
A. economic growth
B. wasteful use of money
C. The widening gap between the rich and poor
D. the rapid advances of science and technology
34. The author believes that, since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, _____.
A. politicians have started to do something to better the situation
B. few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy use
C. reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warming
D. international cooperation has contributed to solving environmental problems
35. What is the message the author intends to convey?
A. Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one
B. The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technology
C. The debate over global warming will lead to technological break through
D. People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming

Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.

初二英语报刊阅读四 （1） Question : What is more astonishing than a 6000 ton whale on a flatbed truck being driven down the street ? Answer : A 6000 ton whale on a flatbed truck exploding and raining blubber (fat of whales ) all over the sidewalk . That’s what happened in Taiwan recently, when a dead sperm whale being shipped to the Halobios Research Centre for an autopsy (尸体解剖) developed an extremely bad case of gas and blew up before it reached its destination . The whale was found alive on a Taiwan beach last weekend, and died shortly after it was discovered. Since the 56-foot whale was the largest whale ever beached on Taiwan’s shores , scientists wanted to study it and perform an autopsy for educational purpose . Obviously, too much time passed between when the animal died and the time it was set to be moved to the autopsy location, because it had already started to go bad .When things rot , they give off gases as a by-product . In the whale’s case , the gases were trapped in its belly . The pressure inside the rotting creature grew so much that it popped like an over-filled balloon . Unfortunately , it was on a truck in the middle of the city of Taiwan at the time; cars and shops lining the street were covered with whale bits an d juices , much to their owners’ discouragement . According to news reports , traffic was tied up for hours while officials tried to clean up the streets . Newspaper editors worldwide were probably smiling to themselves , since they had a ready-made headline; several reports about the inciden t were titled “There She Blows!” after the famous line from the book Moby Dick . 1．The purpose of the question at the beginning of this news report is to ______. A．explain the reason B．sell newspapers C．attract readers D．give an immediate answer 2．The whal e’s explosion is the result of _________. A．pressure from gases building up in the creature as it began to rot B．the long transport of the creature from the beach to the center C．the extremely busy traffic in the streets it passed by D．the quick process of rotting of the animal 3．What is the correct order of the incidents ? a. The whale was set to a flatbed truck . b. The whale was discovered . c. The whale exploded . d. The whale died . A．b; c; a ; d B．d; c; b; a C．b; d; a; c D．d; b; a; c 4．What do we know from the last paragraph ? A．Some newspaper editors were laughed at . B．Moby Dick is the name of a woman writer . C．All the newspapers reported the story under the same title . D．The title “There She Blows!” is taken from the book Moby Dick . （2）

In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience. For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting. And if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate-alack of sophistication. It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants. 1. What Is the main purpose of the passage? a. To point out the differences between rules of etiquette in different countries. b. To teach the reader how to tuck a napkin in his/her shirt. c. To help people from rustic areas learn. d. To explain that standards of etiquette are both variable and universal. 2. According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette? . a. Tucking a napkin in your shirt. b. Not throwing food on the floor. c. Reading a magazine at a coffee shop. d. Eating in rustic settings. 3. What does the word “it” in line 8 refer to? a. Proper etiquette.
