Part V Reading Comprehension (50 points, 2 points each)
Directions: There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by
five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
Every animal is a living radiator —heat formed in its cells is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster.
The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouse-like shrew is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the hummingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant.
There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighed only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.
1. The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it_____.
A. produces heat in its body cells
B. burns fuel to produce heat
C. sends out heat from its bodies
D. requires oxygen to produce heat
2. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by_____.
A. restoring heat continually
B. storing heat in their body cells
C. regulating the amount of heat produced

4. An animal weighing less than 2.5 grams would starve because it would not be able to _____.
A. get enough oxygen
B. maintain its body temperature
C. burn its food fast enough
D. eat fast enough to supply fuel
5. What is implied but not stated in the passage?

B. The hummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded creature.
C. Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.
D. The hummingbird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.
Passage 2
California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, short of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.
People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances. Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska) is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska). Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.
California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.
In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined. 6. Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States?
A. Lake Tulainyo.
B. Mojave Desert.
C. Death Valley.
D. The Salton Sea.
7. Where is the highest point in the United States located? A. Lake Tahoe. B. Sierra Nevada. C. Mount Whitney. D. Alaska.
8. How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney? A. About 3 miles. B. Only 100 miles. C. 282 feet. D. 14 494 feet.
9. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about
100 miles of Bakersfield?
班级____________________ 学号____________________ 姓名____________________

A. The Pacific Ocean.
B. San Joaquin Valley.
C. Mojave Desert.
D. Oregon and Washington.
10. Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contrast?
A. The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.
B. It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having to
travel long distance.
C. Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within a
radius of about 100 miles.
D. Owens Lake, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.
Passage 3
Children are a relatively modern invention. Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist. In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.
Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids’ Count ry here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid’s body is our physical ideal. In Kid’s Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.
We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy (颠倒) situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrant the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the farther, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the farther was ever inheriting from his son. Kids’ Country may be the inevitable result.
Kids’ Country is not all bad. American is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids’ Country. We not only wear kids’ clothes and eat kids’ food; we dream Kids’ dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy’s game to go to the moon.
If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups (俯卧撑) against eternity.
11. The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that _______.
A. adults showed less concern for children than we do now
B. adults were smaller and thinner at that time, but they still had a lot of work to do
C. children looked and acted like adults at that time
D. children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time
12. In the third paragraph, the Old Country is contrasted with America _______.
A. to show differences in family size
B. to show differences in attitudes towards family relations
C. to sow two kinds of geography
D. to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations
13. Going to the moon is an example of _______.
A. America’s dreams and creativity
B. America’s childi sh and queer behavior
C. why America hasn’t grown up
D. why America is considered the greatest country in the world
14. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. It is very difficult for the middle-aged to live in America.
B. America is Kids’ Country because the majority of its people are young and vigorous.
C. Kids’ Country was taking shape in America when immigrants poured into the country
D. America is more of Kids’ Country than any other countries in the world.
15. By saying ―co ndemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging doing push-ups
against eternity,‖ the author means that _______.
A. she thinks people shouldn’t be so concerned about physical fitness
B. she feels too old and tired to do such hard exercise
C. American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearance
D. what happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soon Passage 4
By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.
Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.
All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.
The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.
V ery few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make
some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.
16. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.
B. In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.
C. Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.
D. People’s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.
17. Adders are most likely to be found _______.
A. in wilder parts of Britain and Ireland
B. in Scotland and nowhere else
C. on uncultivated land throughout Britain
D. in shady fields in England
18. We are told that British snakes are _____.
A. afraid of human beings
B. poisonous including the adder
C. dangerous except the adder
D. friendly towards human beings
19. When will the adder not attack you?
A. When you try to catch it.
B. When you are some distance away from it.
C. When you happen to step on it.
D. When you try to pick it up.
20. If an adder hears you coming, it will usually ______.
A. attack you immediately
B. disappear very quickly
C. wait to frighten you
D. move out of the way
Passage 5
While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain baffled over how to cope with another alcohol related hazard: drunken pedestrians (步行者).
Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently —and with higher blood alcohol levels —than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10 —which by law in most states signifies intoxication —compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2,500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7,000 or one of every seven highway deaths.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs a board’s committe e on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified about how to prevent mishaps.

Studies have revealed some of the causes, which range from a lack of adult supervision for many children involved in accidents to long delays in traffic signals that may encourage jaywalking, speakers said at a meeting. The most challenging problem, however, is alcohol. Some researchers suspect that part of the problem, ironically, may be former drunken drivers whose licenses were suspended and who now are walking. Other researchers, emphasizing the larger social problem of alcohol abuse in general, say many drunken pedestrians are poor alcoholics who often face lonely deaths — and not only on highways. 21. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Traffic Safety.
B. Drunken Drivers.
C. Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.
D. A Severe Highway Safety Problem.
22. Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is _______. A. long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attention to traffic rules B. alcohol
C. a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents
D. former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time 23. According to recent federal data, drunken drivers in deadly accidents _______.
A. are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers
B. are 2,500 a year
C. are at least 7,000 in US traffic accidents
D. make up one seventh of highway deaths
24. It can be inferred from the passage that pedestrian accidents have remained relatively high because _______.
A. walking accidents have not received enough attention in the past
B. few methods exist to confine walking habits
C. researchers find it difficult to work out ways to prevent unlucky accidents
D. all of the above
25. The passage was most probably written by a specialist in _______.
A. town planning
B. social history
C. traffic system
D. traffic safety

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 Sheetwith a single line through the center. Passage One Science is not a set of unquestionable results but a way of understanding the world around us. Its real work is slow. The scientific method , as many of us learned in school, is a gradual process that begins with a purpose or problem or question to be answered. It includes a list of materials, a procedure to follow, a set of observations to make and, finally, conclusions to reach. In medicine, when a new drug is proposed that might cure or control a disease, it is first tested on a large random group of people, and their reactions are then compared with those of another random group not given the drug. All reactions in both groups are carefully recorded and compared, and the drug is evaluated. All of this takes time and patience. It’s the result of course, that makes the best news—not the years of quiet work that characterize the bulk of scientific inquiry. After an experiment is concluded or an observation is made, the result continues to be examined critically. When it is submitted for publication, it goes to a group of the scientist’s colleagues, w ho review the work. Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.”

Einstein was right when he said: “No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right, a single experiment can at any time prove me wrong.” In August 1996, NASA announced the discovery in Antarctica of a meteorite（流星） from Mars that might contain evidence of ancient life on another world. As President Clinton said that day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago was potentially one of the great discoveries of our time. After the excitement wore down and initial papers were published, other researchers began looking at samples from the same meteorite. Some concluded that the “evidence of life”was mostly contamination from Antarctic ice or that there was nothing organic at all in the rock. Was this a failure of science, as some news reports trumpeted? No! It was a good example of the scientific method working the way it is supposed to. Scientists spend years on research, announce their findings, and these findings
