Part III Reading Comprehension(30%)

Passage1

The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing as Melinda sits in the rose garden of the nursing home.She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival.The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago.Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against

lung cancer for three years.Unfortunately,he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made:to be with each other for every birthday.Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.

“Thomas,you are completely a dreamer!”Melinda shouted to Thomas as h e dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife.That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination.They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away.Mary came within the year,followed by Thomas Benjamin II,Lilly-Ann,and Joseph“Little Joey' George.The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.

“Mom!”Lilly shouted,but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband.Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.

When the doors opened,Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless.The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt

instantly.The night went on;stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect.However,when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family.With a smi le on her face,she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast.“This one is for you,Thomas,though you are not here.”

36.Why did Thomas break his promise?

A.He was busy with his work.

B.He died of lung cancer.

C.He had to serve in the army.

D.He stopped loving Melinda.

37.Which of the following best explains“exultant”underlined in Paragraph2?

D.Melinda liked to drink alcohol,

39.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.A Particular Birthday

C.Memories of Old Days

Passage B

Spotify can tell if you’re sad.Here’s why that should scare you.Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability?Ask them what their favorite song is.A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean?were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.

Over the past few years,Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs.They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it,along with third-party data that might be available.

Now,to be clear,there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information.I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However,I find it disappointing that our personal,private

moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.

You can see where this could go,can’t you?As ad targeting gets ever more accurate,businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways.According to one study,you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad.You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that.And on that note,I’m feeling a little

down about all this.Head off to treat myself to something expensive.

40.What's the purpose of the first paragraph?

A.To introduce a new song.

B.To draw readers’attention.

C.To help more patients.

D.To promote a new medium.

41.Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.

A.provide services for the government

B.work with shadowy consulting firms

C.get listeners'personal information

D.help businessmen attract consumers

42.What s th e author’s attitude towards Spo tify?

A.Uncertain.

B.Supportive.

C.Positive.

D.Dissatisfied.

43.Who is the text probably designed for?

A.Internet users.

B.Officials.

C.Researchers.

D.Managers.

Passage C

An exciting landing process of Chang'e-4lunar probe(月球探测器)was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing,Jan.3,2019.It touched down on the far side of the moon at10:26 a.m.Beijing Time,becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side nev er visible from Earth.

China’s Chang'e-4probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control.The relay satellite, named Queqiao,meaning Magpie Bridge,after a Chinese legend, was launched on May21,2018,and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit,nearly500,000km from the earth.It can also provide communication for probes from

other countries.The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments.The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4probe on the far side of the moon is79,000km.The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.

The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption,as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving.While in orbit,it can“see”both the earth and the far side of the moon.

The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S.space experts

in the1960s,but was realized by Chinese space engineers.

Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids(小行星)hitting the far side of the moon.To control the cost of the Chang'c-4probe,the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small,weighing about400kg.

Researchers had just30months to develop the satellite,putting them under high pressure.To promote public interest in space

exploration,the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration,and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.

44.What do we learn from the second paragraph?

A.The relay satellite was launched on Jan.3,2019.

B.Chang'e-4probe was the first communication satellite.

C.The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.

D.The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4probe.

45.Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?

A.To reduce the cost as much as possible.

B.To make it circle Moon for a longer time.

C.To avoid being crashed by other satellites.

D.To follow American space experts,advice.

46.What made researchers suffer from great stress?

A.Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.

B.The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.

C.Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.

D.People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite

47.What is the main idea of the text?

A.China is a new space power after the USA.

B.Change-4probe lands on Moon’s far side.

C.Chinese space engineers make much progress.

D.Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.

新视野第三册1单元测试(含答案)

新视野第三册1单元测试(本单元配有答案)Part 1 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题:4 分) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good. I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didn't teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes. We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is important in helping the second generation establish their identity. 1.Which people are having trouble with language? A. Natives. B. People of the 2nd generation.

大学英语新视野网上英语题-unit3试题及答案

Part 7 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题:1 分) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. One phase of the business cycle is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity. During the recovery period there is ever-growing expansion of existing facilities, and new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of various kinds are made. There is an ever increasing optimism about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or heavy industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As one part of the economy develops, other parts are affected. For example, a large expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel, glass, and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are stimulated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and farmers from increased demand for supplies of raw materials. This increases purchasing power and the volume of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity is diffused (扩散) among the various segments of the population. This prosperity period may continue to rise and rise without an apparent end. However, a time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops spiraling (盘旋上升) upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase. 1.We may assume that in the next paragraph the writer will discuss ________. A. the expansion phase B. the status of the farmer C. the higher cost of living D. the recession period 2.The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is ________. A. Attaining Prosperity in One Industry

However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second genera tion is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that ca me from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of are as such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good. I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new count ry, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didn't teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help t hem establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new cou ntry, they often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they v isited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes. We must rea lize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should mak e an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand th eir heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is important in helping the se cond generation establish their identity. 1. Which people are having trouble with language? A. Natives. B. People of the 2nd generation. C. People when born. D. Immigrants. 2. Why are children ignoring their parents? A. Children have lost their identity. B. Parents cause children to suffer. C. They speak different languages. D.
