V. Reading Comprehension:
Passage 1
When foreigners come to China for the first time, they are always surprised by the number of bicycles on the roads. China has more cyclists than any other country in the world.
Because the roads are so crowded with bicycles, it is very important for cyclists to remember the traffic rules and regulations. Before you ride your bicycle on the roads, you must register it and get a number for it. This number will be on a plate on your bicycle. Also, the traffic authorities will want to check the bicycle to make sure that it is in good condition.
Young children may not ride bicycles in the streets, because there is so much traffic that is dangerous. A cyclist must keep at least one hand on the handlebars at all times, and a bicycle may not carry more than one adult person.
On which side of the road should you ride? On the right, of course! If you ride on the left of the road, against the traffic, you may cause an accident. Like the driver of a car or bus, you must follow all traffic signs and signals. Everybody knows that you must not turn left or go straight across at a red traffic light. Usually you can turn right, but you must check first to make sure that the road is clear.
If you want to turn or stop, you must give a signal to the cyclists who are riding behind you. Give a signal with your hand at least ten meters before you turn or stop. When you ride past a parked car, you must be careful in case the door opens suddenly or the car starts and drives out in front of you.
Remember these rules and regulations when you ride your bicycle, and help to keep China’s roads safe.

Passage2
The first English window was just a slit in the wall. It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called ―the wind eye‖. The word w indow itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.
Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.
As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They mad e the wind’s eyes wider so as to admit air and light. They stretched canvas across them to keep out the weather.

Passage 3
Students all over the world have to work for their education. A college education in the United States is expensive. The costs are so high that most families begin to save for their children’s education when their children are babies. Even so, many young people cannot afford to pay the expenses of full-time college work. They do not have enough money to pay for school costs. Tuition for attending the university, books for classes, and living expenses are high. There are other expenses such as chemistry and biology laboratory fees and special student activity fees for such things as parking permits and football tickets. The cost of college education increases every year. However, classrooms are still crowded with students. Some American students have scholarships or other support, but many do not.
Students from other countries have money problems to overcome, too. Because students in most international programs need to have a sponsor ( a person, organization, or local government that pays for them), they work hard to earn scholarships or special loans. International students understand the value of going to school in another country. They also know that it is difficult. Yet just as Americans choose to attend American universities in spite of the difficulty, however, it is usually possible for students from abroad to work on university campuses to pay for some of the costs of their education. Some people believe that students value their education more if they work for it.

Passage 4
To use it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B. C.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrellas practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And against it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England.
By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn’t until the twentieth century that women’s umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.

Passage 5
Mr. Richards wa s quite a good shot because he did well in shooting with a rifle. When he was asked to take the sick man’s place, he felt greatly honored to shoot for such a good team, but he also felt very nervous, because he was afraid of making a fool of himself and letting down his team.
In fact, he was so nervous that he could not keep his hands from trembling while he was shooting, with the result that he did very badly in the competition. When he took his score card to his captain, he said, ―After seeing my score, I feel like going outside and shooting myself.‖

Passage 6
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist Ellsworth Huntington ( 1876 –1937 ) concluded from other men’s work a nd his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat is. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to the best period of the year for thinking. One reason ma y be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!

Passage 7
Since her husband died, Mrs. Jackson has lived alone in their big old suburban house which her husband bought almost half a century ago. For the sake of safety, her son has tried hard to persuade her to sell the house and buy a new one in the town. But Mrs. Jackson doesn’t like the idea because that is the only thing her husband left. Recently, she often hears stories about unknown people stealing
things in the neighborhood. People living there have been told to keep alert (警惕).
That was the day before Christmas Eve. It was very cold and the ground was covered with thick snow. The cutting wind kept most of the people indoors.

She heard the sound but didn’t move. Another knock. Mrs. Jackson became alarmed. Who could it be? Her son had just left and she didn’t expect anybody else to come in such weather. She decided not to answer the do or but keep waiting. One minute…another minute…and then another minute. Nothing happened and no more knocks. She was both nervous and curious, and walked quietly to the door. She pressed her ears close to the door and listened. She heard nothing but the howling of the wind outside.

Passage 8
In the West, it is customary to hold a party in celebration of a person’s birthday. At 18, one becomes an adult. Usually the family
has a big party for the new adult and a major present —an expensive car or watch — is given to him or her. The present varies from
family to family. Any birthday past 70 is celebrated in a special way because the birthday person is getting old and may die before another birthday comes around. And 100 — the centennial birthday — is generally regarded as an unusual occasion because few people reach it. The centenarian may even receive a telegram or a letter of congratulations from others.
Many friends come to the birthday party with birthday presents and say ―Happy Birthday‖ to the birthday person. The guests wa tch him or her open the presents and he or she thanks them for the presents they have brought. At the party drinks and food are served. Toward the end of the dinner the lights in the room are turned off, and someone comes in from another room with a cake on which are lighted candles, one for each year. At the sight of the cake the guests begin singing ―Happy Birthday to You‖, and the birthday person makes a wish before he or she blows out the candle on the cake. It is said that the wish will come true if all the candles go out in one puff. After that, the cake is cut in slices usually by the birthday person, one piece for each guest. When the party comes to an end, the guests wish the birthday person ―Happy Birthday‖ again and leave.

Passage 9
No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and the Persians. The Persians called their dish sharbat, from which our word sherbet comes.
Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy.
In 1533, when Catherine de Medicis left Italy to marry the future King Henry II of France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them was ―ice cream‖. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert ? ―ice cream.‖
At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660,a young man from Sicily,
Francisco Procopio, arrived in Pairs. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Procopio’s ―ice-cream parlor‖ became so popular that other shops were opened.
About 1640, King Charles I introduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage in Italy and France. He served ice
cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a great success. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt that only royalty should serve the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quickly became the rage in England too.

D Marco Polo
5. What will be probably discussed in the paragraphs following this passage?A Marco Polo’s travel in the world.;B Development of

Passage 10
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which boasts of being―the biggest bookshop in the world‖ to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens’ time.
Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the various subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet!
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must take the trouble to go to Farringdon Road, for example, in the East Central District of London. Here there is nothing so seemingly important as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and turn out their sacks of books on to small stands which line the gutters. And the collectors who have been waiting for them, rush to the dusty piles of books. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds. 1According to the passage, the best-known streets in London containing bookshops are ________.A. in the East Central District
B. throughout the city;
C. in some outer parts of the city ;
D. in the center of the city
2.Charing Cross Road is well-known for ________.A. its bookshops of all sorts and sizes; B. its biggest bookshop ;C. its cheapest bookshop ; D. its most expensive bookshop
3.In the bookshops of Charing Cross Road you can get ________.A. new books of any kind ; B. Second-hand books on various subjects ;tiny dusty books ; D. both A and B
4.Farringdon Road ________.A. is the cheapest place for book buyers;B. boasts of bookshops of all sorts and sizes;C. is
the most convenient place for book buyers;D. boasts of many large bookshops
5.In Farringdon Road one can _______.;A. occasionally pay just a few pence for a new book;B. sometimes pay much less for an old good book;C. always get very cheap new books;D. pay many pounds for an old volume.
Passage 11
At one time a traveler could learn about a region by looking at the houses. For example, he or she could understand what building materials were available. In areas with many wood houses, the traveler would have guessed that there were nearby forests. Stone houses would have indicated that stones were easy to get. However, a closer look at the houses would have told the traveler even more about the area.
People used to build houses that fitted the climate of their areas. For example, in desert regions there is a big difference between daytime and nighttime temperatures. Therefore, many desert people built houses with very thick walls. These thick walls served a useful purpose in the houses. For example, in the winter the thick walls absorbed the sun’s warmth duri ng the day and radiated the heat at night.
Desert people were relatively comfortable in their homes, or residences at all times because they built them to fit the desert climate.
Then the supply of fuel for electricity became both cheap and easy to get. The effect on housing was immediate. People began to build their homes according to fashion instead of utility. During that time, building materials were moved across continents, and people did not worry about how much fuel they used to heat and cool their homes. Homes no longer reflected the availability of building materials or climate. Houses, with steep roofs could be found in the tropics, the warm regions of the Earth, even though these pointed roofs originated in snowy regions of the world. Heavy snow falls off a slanted roof. Another example is the use of glass. Houses made almost completely of glass could be found in very cold places. Yet ordinary glass does not insulate well because it neither keeps out cold air nor keeps in warm air. As long as fuel was cheap and easy to get, people could build any type of house anywhere.
1.According to the passage, a traveler would most likely find many stone houses ________.A. near forests ; B. in a mountainous area;C. near lakes; D. in a city
2.What are the two things that a traveler could learn about an area by looking at the houses?A The climate is poor, and so are the people living in it.;B The traveler could learn about the climate and the kind of building materials easy for the people to reach.;C There is a forest nearby and they are on the top of a mountain.;D They are near a house and its owner is not there at the moment.
3.The main idea of paragraph 1 is that ________.;A. wood is a forest product;B. there are no stones in forests;C. houses used to tell about a region;D. people used to travel to learn about houses
4.The main idea of paragraph 2 is that ________.A. thick walls absorb heat from the sun ;B. people built houses to fit the climate;C. people are comfortable in their houses;D. in the desert, daytime temperatures are lower than nighttime temperatures
5.The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ________.;A heavy snow does not stay on steep roofs;B ordinary glass does not insulate well;
C fuel is used to produce electricity;
D the supply of fuel affects home building
Passage 12
Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drivers on Mondays, taking her own children and the neighbors’ children as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, still ano ther on Wednesdays, and so on. This is called a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.
More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.
Here are two cars that may some day take the place of today’s big automobiles. If everyone drives such cars in the future, th ere will be more space for parking cars in cities, and the streets will be less crowded. Three such cars can fit in the space now needed for one car of the usual size.
The little cars will cost much less to own and to drive. Driving will be safer, too, as these little cars can go only 65 kilometers per hour.
The cars of the future will be fine for getting around a city, but they will not be useful for long trips.
If big cars are still used along with the small ones, two sets of roads will be needed in the future. Some roads will be used for the big,
fast cars, and other roads will be needed for the slower small ones.
1.Some of the children are not allowed to take school buses because _______.A they are too young;B they live less than a mile from school;C they live more than a mile from school;D their mothers carry them to school
2.A car pool is _________.A a large pool washing cars;B a way children are driven to school by their mothers in turn;C a large open area for parking cars;D a way more people or families share one car for common use
3.Which of the following cannot improve the traffic situation?;A To form more car pools; B To use less gasoline.;C To set up more car parks. D To apply the two small cars.
4.The only disadvantage of the small cars is that _________.;A they are only one-third as big as a usual car;B they are cheaper than the big ones;C they are more dangerous than the big ones;D they are slower than the big ones
5.Big cars can do better in the case of __________.;A getting around a city ; B parking;C long trips ; D saving oil;
Passage 13
I was born in the city of York, in England, in the year 1632. My father was a man of some wealth, able to give me a good home and send me to school. It was his wish that I should be a lawyer but my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of travel, and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea. My father gave me strong advice against it, but with little effect. One day, being at Hull, I met a school-fellow who was aboutto sail for London in his father's ship, and he invited me to go with him, and without telling my father, I went on board.
On the way to London, a storm arose, the ship was wrecked (失事), and we barely escaped with our lives. I went on foot to London, where I met with the master of a vessel which did business with countries on the coast of Africa. He took a fancy to me, and offered me a chance to go with him on his voyages, which I gladly accepted.
A great storm came up, and the ship was tossed (被颠簸) about for many days, until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we struck a bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that We could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. So we launched (使。。。下水) a boat. After we had been driven four or five miles, a mountainous wave struck us so hard that it overturned the boat at once. Though I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was dashed (被猛撞) against a rock with such force that it left me senseless. But I recovered a little before the waves returned, and, running forward, got to the mainland safely.
1. What did the author want to do most when he was young? A) To visit Africa. B) To sail the seas. C) To practice law. D) To make
a tour of London.
2. Why did the author go on foot to London? A) The ship he took was destroyed in a storm. B) His father did not supply the fare for the journey. C) He went against his father's strong advice not to do so. D) His school-fellow invited him to go together.
3. Why did they launch a boat? A) They knew they were near the shore. B) The big waves were about to overturn the ship. C) Their ship had been knocked about for many days on the sea. D) Their ship had struck sand and was about to break into pieces,
4. When the author got to the mainland, he __________. A) searched everywhere for his lost companions; B) fell down on the ground senseless; C) was safe and sound; D) ran forward to escape being washed back into the sea
5. When the author finally arrived on land, he most probably_________. A) knew he was in Africa; B) did not know where he was;C) was not aware he was back in England; D) got in touch with his family and asked for help
Passage 14
I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do --become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.
The main difference for me now is that I have a much morefiexible (灵活的) schedule, I work about as much as I did before -- between 45 and 50 hours a week -- but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I Work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M. then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me.
I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I've also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home. Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I don't feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don't have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there's enough money until the next check arrives.
All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a "regular" job. But for now, at least, it suits me.
1. Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer? A) He had always liked writing. B) He was dissatisfied with his company. C) He never liked his job as a manager. D) He wanted to change his lifestyle.
2. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author? A) He works fewer hours a week. B) He does not have to work on weekends. C) He can change his schedule as he likes. D) He can work at night and sleep late.
3. Why does the author do his own cooking now? A) He wants to lose weight. B) He has got lots of free time on hishands.
C) He no longer feels tired after work. D) He wants to eat more healthfully.
4. What is his chief problem now? A) He cannot count on his' paycheck to arrive on time. B) He has no regular work to do.
C) He has to find a publisher for his books. D) He has to worry about money.
5. At the end of the passage, the author indicates that__________.A) he is going to find a regular job soon B) he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future C) he will continue to write for the rest of his life D) he will soon find out whether writing is a good career for him
Passage 15
Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple,
direct answer: "I put out fires" or "I fix sick people" or "! teach primary school". As a theoretical (理论的) physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon Valley (硅谷). With these expectations we were fairly comfortable:

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

Reading Comprehension (2’X20=40’) Directions: Read the following three passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Passage One Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong things. The key to preventing or treating behavior problem is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you pleasantly if they accept that you are in charge. Tainting should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and more safely allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 1. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______. A) worsen in modern society B) be just part of their nature C) occur when they go wild D) present at threat to the community 2. The primary purpose of obedience training is to ________. A) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior B) teach the dog to perform clever tricks C) make the dog aware of its owner’s authority D) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior 3. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______. A) an extreme measure in obedience training B) a good way to teach the dog new tricks C) the foundation for dogs to perform tasks D) essential to solve the dog’s behavior problems 4. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters? A) To show their willingness to obey. B) To show their affection for their masters. C) To avoid being punished. D) To win leadership of the dog pack. 5. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner________. A) will enjoy a better family life. B) can give the dog more freedom C) can give the dog more rewards D) will have more confidence in himself Passage Two: Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.
