III. 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 decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
The key to gardening with kids, says Patti Kraemer-Doell, an expert at the New York Botanical Gardens, is ―letting them experience it themselves. We have tried to guide them, but not tell them to put the sunflowers here and the tomatoes there. The emphasis is on developing their imagination and their appreciation for being out in the garden.‖
Kids get advice about how many seeds or seedlings to put in each square and how deep to plant them. Volunteers show kids pictures of how the full-grown plants will look, so they can understand how much room each plant needs.
Theme gardens have been a big hit in the program, and are easy to do in a home garden. For example, let kids grow a salsa garden, with all sorts of tomatoes, hot peppers, onions, and cilantro.
A pizza garden can have basil, oregano, and tomatoes. In a Persian carpet garden, kids can focus on colored flowers.
Kraemer-Doell also suggests trying a sunflower house. Let kids plant sunflower seeds in a square, leaving space for a door in front. As the sunflowers grow, put a hay fence around them for protection and stake if necessary. Plant morning glories or sweet peas around the base of each sunflower, and they will grow up the stems, eventually forming a roof over the top. By summer's end, kids will have a sunflower house to play in.
Some kids might just want to play in the garden, says Kraemer-Doell. At the family garden, there's a special place set aside just for digging and looking at insects and worms. It's a very popular spot.
1. The author’s purpose in writing this article is ______.
A. to tell how to develop children’s imagination
B. to teach children how to plant seeds

4. Which of the following is true?

B. Every sunflower needs a hay fence around it for protection.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
With a team of colleagues at Gokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.
Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)
Contraction of front and side parts –as cells die off- was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds.
Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age- using the head.
The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.
Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the hea d to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. ―The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain.‖ He says, ―think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.‖
6. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.
A.why certain people age sooner than others
B.how to make people age sooner than others
C.the size of certain people’s brain
D.which people are most intelligent
7. On what are their research findings based?
A. A survey of farmers in northern Japan.
B.Tests performed on a thousand old people.
C.The study of brain volumes of different people.
D.The latest development of computer technology.
8. The doctor’s tests show that ________.
A.our brains shrink as we grow older
B.the front section of the brain does not shrink
C.sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds.
D.Some people’s brain have contracted more than other people’s
9. The word ―subjects‖ in paragraph 5 means ________.
A.something to be considered
B.branches of knowledge studied
C.persons chosen to be studied in an experiment
D.any member of a state except the supreme ruler
10. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than others?
A. Lawyers.
B. Farmers.
C. Clerks.
D. Shop assistants.
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the early post-war era, there was a quite widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority. Indeed they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply malfunction.
Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong. Questioning and routine double checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come with the following warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
11. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To look back to the early days of computers.
B.To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.
C.To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.
D.To warn against the blindness to the probable shortcomings of computers.
12. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to ________.
A.be reasonably doubtful about them
B.check all their answers
C.substitute them for basic thinking
https://www.doczj.com/doc/be14661712.html,e them for business purpose only
13. An ―internal computer‖ (Para.2) is ________.
A. a computer used exclusively by one company for its own problems
B. a pers on’s store of knowledge and the ability to process it
C.the most up-to-date in-home computer a company can buy
D. a computer from the post-war era which is very reliable
14. The passage believes that the present-day problem with regard to computers is _______.
A. challenging
B. psychological
C. dramatic
D. over-trusting
15. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of _______.
https://www.doczj.com/doc/be14661712.html,puter-science courses in high school.
B.Businessmen and women who use pocket calculators
C.Maintenance checks on computers
https://www.doczj.com/doc/be14661712.html,panies which depend entirely on computers for decision-making
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Let’s face it, most of us want to look — and stay looking — as young as we can. But short of surgery, what can you do to avoid the wrinkles and sags? Here are several tips to help keep you looking your best:
Reduce Your Sun Exposure. The next time you feel like lying in the sun in a bathing suit, know this: About 90 percent of premature skin aging is caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. You’d better avoid sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV levels are high, and that you dress yourself in protective clothing to avoid the sun that can lead to crow's feet.
Eat Right. Wrinkle-free skin can be just a grocery store away. A recent study reveals that tucking away certain types of foods may reduce wrinkles. Make sure your next grocery list includes eggs, yogurt, legumes, vegetables (especially green leafy veggies, spinach, eggplant, asparagus, celery, onions or leeks), garlic, nuts, olives, cherries, melon, dried fruits/prunes, apples, pears, multigrain bread and jam. And nix (拒绝) the full-fat milk, red meat, potatoes, soft drinks, cakes and pastries, as the study found that these foods do not promote young-looking skin.
Relax Your Facial Muscles. Research has shown that overanimated facial expressions can lead to premature wrinkling. By constantly creasing (弄皱) your skin in the same way, small lines can form where the muscles contract. So relax your facial muscles. Similarly, try to avoid rubbing your eyes again and again or often resting your chin in your hand.
Get Lots of Sleep.Take the expression ―Get your beauty sleep‖ to heart—catching plenty of z’s is important to promoting young, health y-looking skin. Staying up too late is a culprit (罪犯) in premature wrinkles. So is sleeping on your stomach or your side. Sleeping on your stomach can form wrinkles and lines into your forehead and cheeks, so train yourself to sleep on your back. ―That could be a very valuable lifestyle change to decrease wrinkle development,‖ says Glaser.
―Remember, adopting healthy lifestyle changes can make a difference even if you already have signs of aging,‖ says Glaser. ―It’s never too late to start!‖
16. What is the major cause of premature skin aging?
A. Exposure to UV radiation.
B. Food with too much fat.
C. Overanimated facial expressions.
D. Improper sleeping postures
17. What should not be included in your grocery list, according to the passage?
A. Spinach.
B. Legumes.
C. Garlic.
D. Red meat.
18. Which of the following is Not one of the factors that lead to premature wrinkling?
A. Constantly creasing your skin.
B. Repeatedly rubbing your eyes.
C. Frequently relaxing your facial muscles.
D. Often resting your chin in your hand.
19. To avoid wrinkles, you must ______.
A. sleep on your back
B. sleep on your stomach
C. sleep on your side
D. stay up late
20. According to the passage, the statement ―Get your beauty sleep‖ (Line 1, Para. 5) probably
means ______.
A. keep a beautiful pose while sleeping
B. get enough sleep to keep your beauty
C. sleeping can make your life beautiful
D. have beautiful dreams in your sleep

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. An office tower on Miller Street in Manchester is completely covered in solar panels. They are used to create some of the energy used by the insurance company inside. When the tower was first 26 in 1962, it was covered with thin square stones.

Is It Better to Buy or Rent? The price of housing has kept increasing in recent years, which causes a big headache for people living in cities. A lot of people cannot afford to own a real estate property, so they choose to rent instead of buying an apartment. This group of people does not want to bear burden of mortgage so that they opt for a practical solution. Renting an apartment makes them have a place to stay and thus they can focus on work as well as personal life. Some other people, however, believe that an apartment owned by themselves makes them feel safe and relieved, so they are willing to sacrifice some other aspects of life to borrow money from the bank to buy an apartment. As far as I am concerned, to buy or to rent is all about it will be better to rent first and wait for the good timing when the price is going down to buy. Topic 2: On Job Hopping It seems that nowadays, very few young people are willing to stay in a job position for long, let alone for the whole life. They change jobs constantly. This results from several factors. Firstly, young people like fresh things, and it is easy for them to be fed up with old routine work. So when they stay in a position for a while,the excitement will fade out. They are quite realistic and not willing to waste time in a job they are not interested in. Thirdly, some young people are not satisfied with current salary, believing they deserve better pay. In my opinion, constant job hopping will not benefit young people in their career development. Every job has its own merits and young people can certainly learn something from it as long as they are patient and wise enough. Every job experience is valuable down the career path and young people shall be able to make the most of it. Topic 3: Online Social Network Modern people will be no stranger to online social network. Facebook, Renren and Kaixin001 are probably the most populous networks among Chinese netizen. In these networks, people interact with each other, be it a stranger or a friend, and have a lot of fun in the virtual world. This phenomenon could be a result of the fast development of the Internet and people's great interest of the virtual world. I think it is a very good new platform for people to keep in touch. But it should not be overused. Firstly, some people are addicted to it, which makes them want to get online 24 hours a day. When people spend too much time on one thing,they will naturally have not enough time for study and for work. Secondly, online social network change people's behavior of interacting with others. In virtual world, you just click the mouse and type in words instead of having a face-to-face talk. This will not benefit people's long term friendship, and even harm their interpersonal relationships in real world.

Physical activity does the body good,and there’s growing evidence that it helps the brain too.Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise,whether at school or on their own,26to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests.In a 27of 14studies that looked at physical activity and academic 28,investigators found that the more children moved,the better their grades were in school,29in the basic subjects of math,English and reading. The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to 30on smaller budgets.The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time.With standardized test scores in the U.S.31in recent years,some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground.But as these findings show,exercise and academics may not be 32exclusive.Physical activity can improve blood 33to the brain,fueling memory,attention and creativity,which are 34to learning.And exercise releases hormones that can improve 35and relieve stress,which can also help learning.So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they’re running around,they may actually be exercising their brains as well.标准时间 30minutes 自测用时minutes 标准时间 25minutes 自测用时minutes 标准时间 40minutes 自测用时minutes
