Reading Comprehension （40 points ）Passage 1The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that can be called repartee. No one speaks for very long. Speakers take turns frequently, often after only a few sentences have been spoken. “Watching a conversation between two Americans is like watching a table tennis game,” a British observer said. “Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast it almost makes your neck hurt.”装订 线 内 不 要 答 题Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns. Such people are said to “talk too much.” Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time, as Nigerians, Arabs, and some others do. Americans admire conciseness, or what they call “getting to the point.” Americans engage in little ritual interaction (礼仪式的交流). Only a few ritual greetings are common: “How are you?” “I’m fine, thank you,” “Nice to meet you,” and “Hope to see you again.” These things are said in certain situations Americans learn to reco gnize, and, like any ritual greetings, are concerned more with form than with substance. That is, the questions are supposed to be asked and the statements are supposed to be made in particular situations, no matter what the people involved are feeling or what they really have in mind. In many American’s opinions, people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are “too shy” or “too polite,” unwilling to reveal their true natures and ideas. Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about fami ly members’ health —common among Latin Americans —considering them a waste of time. 26. During a typical conversation between Americans, people try to be ________. a. polite b. interested c. concise d. friendly 27. By comparing a conversation between two Americans to a table tennis game, the British observer means that _________. a. Americans like to take short turns in a conversation b. Americans enjoy talking as well as watching a table tennis game c. Americans get excited easily d. Americans talk with great expression 28. Americans ___________ when they talk with Arabs. a. may lose their patience b. have to listen very carefully c. talk too much d. never use English29. In the United States, ritual greetings __________.a. are very common in people’s conversationsb. are suitable in all situationsc. help to lead to a serious conversationd. have little substance30. According to this passage, Americans have a low opinion of people who ____________. a.. do not talk muchb. do not pay attention to the speakerc. like to ask about other people’s healthd. bring too many ritual greetings into a conversationPassage 2Ask most American children what they want to be when they grow up, and they probably will say “doctor” or “lawyer.”Though our culture, our economy, indeed our very security are heavily dependent on science and engineering, only 12 percent of American high school students graduate with the prerequisites(必要条件) for a career in science or engineering. Worse yet, only 6 percent of装订线内不要答题minority children are said to be so prepared. Don’t be too surprised. If you ask further why the majority of the high school students would choose a career in medicine or law, the answers will be straight out of some popular TV shows. “Doctors help people. They save lives.” “Lawyers beat the bad guys.” Most students would say. Now, how about science or engineering as a career choice? The answers will be just as predictable: “Get real! Who wants to be a geek? They all are nerds. Besides, I hate math.” In our media, scientists and engineers typically are portrayed as introverted(内向的) and humorless. They always wear white lab coats, with a collection of pencils in their pocket protectors. They wear glasses with black plastic frames. If more students are to choose technical careers, they must have a better view presented to them. They need to be told, for instance, that the invention of lifesaving equipment saves lives just as surely as the application of it in the hospital. It also might help if someone emphasized to students that the lawyer who saved the defendant(被告) by introducing the DNA evidence would have seen him hanged had it not been for the scientists who discovered DNA. Whatever we do, until students stop thinking of the term “engineer” as a synonym for “geek,” it is impossible to expect our children to change their views towards scientists and engineers. 31. What is the problem with most American children when they choose their careers? a. They have a very low opinion of science and engineering. b. They are too anxious to succeed in different fields. c. They are not sure what career suits them best. d. They do not have enough confidence in themselves. 32. Which of the following has influenced American students greatly in their choice of their careers?a. Parents’ opinions.b. TV shows and various publications.c. Great discoveries made by doctors and lawyers.d. Culture and economy.33. In the passage, the writer criticizes the media for ___________.a. depicting scientists and engineers as nerds and geeksb. creating too much violence in the societyc. failing to report the great achievements made by scientistsd. using words like “nerd” and “geek” inappropriately34. In order to change the students’ view towards scientists and engineers, the writer suggests that _________.a. teachers reconsider their way of teaching mathematicsb. students be told about the wonders of science and engineeringc. scientists and engineers change their images a little bitd. the media stop praising doctors and lawyers excessively35. Judging from what is said in the passage, the writer obviously believes that _________.装订线内不要答题a. scientists and engineers are more important than doctors and lawyersb. science and engineering have been dangerously ignoredc. American children are hopelessd. there are too many scientists and engineers nowadaysPassage 3Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share—this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits.A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.36. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?a. It is a kind of iced water.b. It is just plain tap water.c. It is a kind of bottled water.d. It is a kind of mineral water.37. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Para. 2), von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that ________.a. plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinkingb. bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterc. bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasted. dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste38. The “fancier brands” (Para. 5) refers to ________.a. tap water from the Thames Riverb. famous wines not sold in ordinary storesc. PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasanid. expensive bottled water with impressive names 39. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water? a. Bottled water brings in huge profits. b. Competition from the wine industry is intense. c. Most diners find bottled water affordable. d. Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable. 40. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular? a. It is much cheaper than wine. b. It is considered healthier. c. It appeals to more cultivated people. d. It is more widely promoted in the market. Passage 4 As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease —especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.” In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physicaldisease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.41. Today medical care is placing more stress on ________.a. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionb. monitor ing patients’ body functionsc. removing people’s bad living habitsd. ensuring people’s psychological well -being42. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ________.a. good health is more than not being illb. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulc. regular health checks are essential to keeping fitd. prevention is more difficult than cure装订线内不要答题43. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he ________. a. does not have any unhealthy living habits b. does not have any physical handicaps c. is able to handle his daily routines d. is free from any kind of disease 44. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people ________. a. to best satisfy their body’s special needs b. to strive to maintain the best possible health c. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health d. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure 45. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy? a. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures. b. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease. c. People who try to maintain the best possible, regardless of their limitations. d. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.Ⅴ. Sentences Translation1.看见火车轰隆隆地向他开来，他即刻的反应就是要跳离铁轨，但双腿却不听使唤。

广州广播电视大学东方分校英语阅读（3）试题Part I Questions 1 – 10 are based on Passage 1. (30 points, 3 points each)Passage 1Communication and Gender in Business1. According to popular American linguist, Deborah Tannen, communication habits vary depending on individual personality, culture, and among other factors, gender. Since male ways of communicating are standard in business, women's ways of talking are often ignored or misunderstood in the workplace. Tannen emphasizes that female and male styles are both valid. Here are some of Tannen's main points:2. Conversational styles in boys and girls show up early. Even 5-year-old boys care about their tank in the group, while 5-year-old girls care more about being in or out of the group. Therefore, men's conversational styles often use competition, while women try to keep the appearance of equality.3. Women tend to apologize more than men, as an attempt to restore the power balance in conversation. When men simply accept the apology rather than part of the responsibility, women feel unjustly blamed.4. Western women favor indirect ways of speaking, which is interpreted by Western men as showing insecurity and lack of confidence. However, this gender difference is also a cultural difference: Japanese business culture demands indirectness, and the direct approach used by Western businessmen is often seen as rude by the Japanese.5. In business, women are often blamed if they "talk like a woman" (soft, indirect, cautious), but are also blamed if they "talk like a man" (bossy aggressive).6. We have strong negative images of women in authority: Wicked Witch and Mother; so women bosses are judged not as bosses but as women.7. Gender differences show most strongly not in individuals but in group settings. In a group of men and women, women tend to become silent bystanders, while men are active participants.8. Males and females in Western culture speak different body languages. Men oftenspread out their limbs, taking up a lot of space, gesture widely, speak in Loud tones, and engage in direct eye contact. These behaviors.9. Males interrupt females much more than they interrupt other males, and more often than females interrupt either males or females.10. Research has shown that there is nothing "natural" about male or female language, but that these gender habits simply show the stereotyped role in which society puts men and women. Directions:Read passage 1 carefully and then decide whether statements 1--10 are true or false based on your understanding of the passage. Write T for true and F for false against the number of the statement on the answer sheet. (30 points, 3 points each.)1. Deborah Tannen emphasized that people share many communication habits despite the fact that every one has their own personality and culture background.2. Conversational styles can even be found in five-year-old boys and girls.3. Men tend to care more about equality in their conversation.4. Men tend to accept an apology rather than make it.5. Indirectness is regarded as appropriate both in western and eastern business world.6. It can be inferred from the 5th paragraph that women might find it difficult to work in the field of business.7. Women tend to be talkative in groups of men or women.8. It can be inferred from paragraph 8 that men are more power-driven than women.9. Women interrupt people more often than men.10. The last paragraph implies that the ways men and women speak are largely decided by their stereotyped role in society.Part II Questions 11 – 20 are based on Passage 2.

(20 points, 2 points each)Passage 3The English Character1 The English, as a race, have the reputation of being very different form all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.2 Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. When he encounters strangers or foreigners he often seems uneasy, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing in a corner; no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An English wit, pretending to be giving ad vice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “ On entering a railway compartment shakehands with all the p assengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behaviour, which, if broken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion.3 It is a well-known fact that the English have an obsession with their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it at length. Some people argue that it is because English weather defies forecast and hence is a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the meteorological experts – the weathermen – who, after promising glorious, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong when ananti-cyclone over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate -- as the weathermen in his prediction. This helps to explain the seemingly odd sight of an Englishman leaving home on a bright, sunny summer morning with a raincoat slung over his arm and an umbrella in his hand. So variable is the weather that by lunchtime there could be thunder and lightning.4 The overseas visitors may be excused for showing surprise at the number of references to weather that the English make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conventional greetings are replaced by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?” Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman (or woman) but is at a loss to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a safe subject which will encourage even the most reserved of Englishmen to enter into a discussion.5 In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show frank extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, passion. Etc., often accompanied by appropriate gestures. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than any other nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. Whereas a man of a more emotional nature might descr ibe her as “a priceless jewel”, “diving” or “precious”, the Englishman will flatly state “um, she’s all right”, An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoy-able film recommends it to a friend by commenting: “It’s not bad, you know.” Or on seei ng a breathtaking landscape he might show hispleasure by saying: “ Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement; he must realize that “all right”, “not bad”, and “nice’, are very of ten used as superlatives with the sense of “first-class”, “excellent”, “beautiful”. This special use of language, particularly common in English, is known as understatement. ”21. It is living on an island separated from the rest of Europe that makes the Englishman very different from all other nationalities.22. Traveling in commuter trains the English people like to read newspapers to relax.23. According to an unwritten rule of behavior people do not shake hands with each other in railway compartments.24. In England if a person doesn’t talk about the weather he immediately becomes the object of suspicion.25. Englishmen do not have faith in weather forecasting because the weather in England often changes by hours.26. In England the weather s pecialist’s prediction is often as inaccurate as the layman’s.27. The overseas visitors may be excused if they don’t like to talk about the weather.28. It is surprising to overseas visitors that the English may talk to each other about weather many times in a single day.29. In England if you feel embarrassed when encountering strangers the best thing to do is to mention the state of the weather.30. The understatement in the English language shows that the English lack deep feelings.Part IV Short AnswersDirections:Read passage 5 and then give a short answer to each of the questions 31 –35 on your answer sheet. (20 points, 4 points each)Passage 4How did computing machines begin and develop? The answer to this question is fairly clear. The first computing machine, in use more than 5,000 years ago, was the fingers and hands of people. But this useful and natural computing machine was not equal to keeping track of all the numbers that people needed from time to time. People needed bigger numbers than hands could show; and they needed to be able to store and remember numbers, without always keeping their fingers in certain positions.So other ideas and devices appeared.The next idea was to use small stones or shells, seeds or beads, to count with. Then a person could talk about some large number (of chickens in a flock or sheep in a herd) as "the number of beads on his string," even if he had no simple name for the number.However, people found it troublesome to count only in units, one by one. So, very early, in ancient Egypt, another idea appeared. This was the idea of choosing a new unit equal to 10 of the old units. Clearly, this idea comes from the fact that a man has 10 fingers; and so a person could talk about the number 76 by referring to all the fingers of seven men and six more fingers on one more man.In order to handle numbers in the form of a set of counted things, it is helpful to have a fixed place in which to lay them out. Such a place may be a smooth piece of ground, a flat piece of stone, or a board. It is helpful to arrange lines to mark off places--one place for units, another place for tens, a third place for tens of tens (or hundreds), and so on.But it is not very convenient to use a board: among other reasons, often when you move the board, the counters fall off. So why not use a frame with little sticks, put holes through the counters, and string them as beads on the sticks in the frame? This simple invention makes a widely useful machine for figuring, the abacus. It is still the most common computing machine and is used all over the world.In ancient times another really important idea was noticed--the idea of zero, the number of none, or nothing. It names a place on the board of counters that is empty of counters. Without this idea, no good computing machine can be made.Directions:Read passage 5 carefully and then try to give short answers to questions 41-45. (20 points, 4 points each. )31. According to the author, when was the first computing machine in use?32. What did people use in earlier times to count numbers with? (Give three examples. )33. Who came up with the idea of choosing a new unit equal to 10 of the old units first?34. Why is it not convenient to use a board for counting as mentioned in the passage?35.

Reading ComprehensionDirections： Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked A, B, C and 1). Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)Questions 21 ?25 are based on the following passage.Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accountsj they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. 1( depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it.Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the hank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly 494pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers' windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors* drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the 5ame.21. A bank run happens when ______ ___ .A. a bank is closed (or one or more daysB.too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC.there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD.tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank22.The tellers in Mrs. Vaught's bank were told to _A.explain why they could not pay out all accountsB.pay out accounts as requestedC.make the depositors believe that the bank was safeD.pay out money as slowly as possible23.The main cause of a bank run is _________ .A.loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers24.Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say? ___________A.She knew that the bank was not sound.B.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.C.She was not able to draw out her money.D.She was tempted to draw out her money.25.According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs, Vaught's b.ink were affected mainly by the ___ _____ .A.ease with which they could get their moneyB.confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC.failure of several other banks to openD.confidence shown by other depositors of the bank495Questions 26?30 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up wiih Helen?” "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "And Paul-why didn't I realize that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When wc look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when wc look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if wc don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog. * That's being friendly. But a **lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't ihink you deserve your luck."Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that mys one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your lifeas a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. Jt*s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is xo take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.26.This passage is mainly about _________ .A.how to interpret what people sayB.what to do when you listen to others talkingC.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with peopleI), why we go wrong with people sometimes49627.According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is thatA.we fail to listen carefully when they talkB.people lend to be annoyed when we check what they sayC.people usually state one thing but means anotherD.we tend to doubt what our friends say28.In the sentence "Maybe he doesn't see it himself.
