II. Reading Comprehension:

Passage One

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

Humans are the dominant species on the planet Earth. Their numbers are increasing rapidly. They are no longer restricted by their environment, as they can live in the most hostile of deserts or the bitter cold of Antarctica (南极洲).

Human culture is heavily based on the earth’s natural resources --- oil, coal and metals; soil, water and forest. Industrialized society is using increasing amount of these resources each year. Governments and industrialists strive for (奋斗)economic growth for factories and mines to produce more each year than they did in the previous year. But fuels and metals and, to a lesser extent, the soils are non-renewable resources. Once used, they are gone for ever. In many cases the lifetime of these resources is coming to an end.

Factories and machines create wastes. These wastes are poured into the atmosphere, the water and even into soil. The damaging effect of this pollution is, in some cases, permanent(永久的).

To reduce pollution creates further problems. Factories may have to be redesigned or even pulled down. This costs money and may mean loss of livelihood for many workers.

Modern technology is creating an additional problem and it is making industry more and more automatic. This means that fewer and fewer people are needed to operate factories and offices. The consequent loss of jobs is a worldwide problem and Western society is still struggling to find the answer.

This introduction gives you some idea of the topics to be discussed in detail in this chapter.

1. This passage is most probably written as ________.

A) a self-contained(独立的)chapter B) the beginning part of a certain chapter

C) the middle part of a certain chapter D) the last part of a certain chapter

2. Which of the following topics is NOT discussed in the passage?

A) Overpopulation. C) Natural resources.

B) Unemployment. D) Industrial pollution.

3. According to the passage, some natural resources like fuels and metals ________.

A) will soon be used up C) are no longer new

B) can not be used at present D) will never be gone

4. According to the passage, more and more people are becoming jobless because of ________.

A) industrial automation C) economic growth

B) shortage of natural resources D) none of the above

5. What does “the answer” at the end of Para. 5 mean? It means ________.

A) the development of modern technology B) the solution to unemployment

C) the application of automation D) the way to reduce pollution

Passage Two

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.

The moon has been described by songwriters and poets as a place for a romantic escape.

We know of course that the moon is actually a very unfriendly environment for human beings.

The moon is completely empty of water because the force of gravity(万有引力)on the moon is much less than on the earth. The lack of a strong force of gravity has caused any water the moon may have had to leak out into space over the 4,600 million years that it has been in existence. Of course, since there is no water, there is no plant life either. So if you go, bring your lunch.

There is no air on the moon because its gravity is not sufficient to keep an atmosphere. Therefore travelers to the moon require not only oxygen and water but also protection against the rays that are not filtered(过滤)by an atmosphere. No atmosphere also means no weather: no wind, no rain, no clouds.

Temperatures on the moon are quite extreme, ranging from 110℃to -173℃. This occurs because there is no atmosphere to filter the sun’s rays when it is shining and t hen to blanket in warm air when the sun goes down. These extremes of temperature are particularly unusual during a solar eclipse (日蚀), when the earth passes directly between the sun and the moon, for the time being, blotting out the sun’s light. At such ti mes the temperature on the moon falls very rapidly and then rises immediately as the sun emerges from the earth’s shadow. The change in temperature may be as much as 200℃in one hour! Thus if you visit the moon, deciding what to wear could be a problem.

6. The moon is much different from what has been described in poems and songs because ______.

A) it is too far away for most people to get there

B) the environment on the moon is unfit for people to live in

C) the poets and songwriters are ignorant of the moon

D) poems and songs are not to be believed

7. There is no water on the moon because ________.

A) there has never existed water on the moon

B) the temperature there is so high that water evaporates(蒸发)rapidly

C) the moon is unable to keep water from escaping into space

D) there is no plants of any kind to reserve(保存)water

8. Travelers to the moon need protection against the sun’s rays because________.

A) the sun shines directly over the moon

B) there are no trees to offer shelter from the sun

C) there is no atmosphere to filter the sun’s rays

D) there are no wind, rain, or clouds on the moon

9. The temperature on the moon changes sharply between day and night because _________.

A) the moon is much closer to the sun than the earth is

B) there is no water to absorb the sun’s heat

C) solar eclipses have great effect on the temperature

D) there is no atmosphere to regulate(调节)the temperature

10. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the moon?

A) The change of temperature on the moon is even greater during a solar eclipse.

B) There might once exist water on the moon.

C) The sun rays are dangerous to life on the moon.

D) The moon has been existing for more than 4,600 million years.

Passage Three

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.

A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night. She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield (挡风玻璃). It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the same driver.

“I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll give you a ride home.”

“You’ll drive me home in the bus?” I ask ed, perplexed (困惑).

“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.

“It’s a long way,” I protested.

“Come on,” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”

As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother ran out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along,” she said.

When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor,” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”

11. Why did the writer say that he would have a long night?

A) He wondered how long he had to wait for the next bus.

B) No driver would give him a ride.

C) He didn’t know the routes.

D) He perhaps would have to take a taxi.

12. Judging from the context, the place where the writer waited for the second bus was _______.

A) very quiet and peaceful C) neither clean nor beautiful

B) dark without street lights D) a little unsafe

13. Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the route?

A) No bus would come at the time.

B) A taxi ride would be more comfortable.

C) He became impatient and a bit worried.

D) He knew the driver would never return.

14. The bus driver drove the writer home later because _______.

A) she happened to go in the same direction

B) she wanted to do something good for other people

C) her brother told her to do so

D) she wanted to earn more money

15. The bus driver hoped that the writer _______.

A) would do as she did C) would give the money to others

B) would keep her in memory D) would do her a favor

Passage Four

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.

When I come cross a good essay in reading a newspaper, I would like to cut it out and keep it. But sometimes, just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the opposite side just as interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to keep healthy, or advice about how to behave oneself in society. If I cut the front essay out, the opposite one is sure to be damaged, leaving out half of it or keeping the text without its subject. As a result, the scissors would stop before they start when I find out the possible result that will surely cause my regret.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time. We can only take up one of them; the other has to wait or be given up. But we know the future is uncertain---the changed situation may not allow us to do what is left behind. Thus we are caught in a fix and feel sad. How come those nice opportunities and brilliant ideas come all at once? It may happen that our life changes suddenly just because we choose one over the other.

In fact, this is what life is like: We are often faced with two opposing things which are both desirable. Just like the newspaper cutting, it often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another. The former may be more important than the latter and can give rise to a divided mind. However, I remember a p hilosopher’s words: “When one door closes, another one opens.” So a casual or passive choice may not always be a bad one.

Whatever we do in life, whenever life’s storms toss us, there must be something we can achieve, some shore we can land on, which opens up a new vision for us. Don’t forget God always keeps a door open for everyone. While the front door may be closed, there will be another open for you somewhere.

16.What would the writer like to do when he comes across a good essay in a newspaper?

A. He would recite the essay.

B. He would introduce the essay to his friend.

C. He would copy it and keep it.

D. He would cut it out and keep it.

17.Why does the writer sometimes stop when he is about to cut out an essay?

A. Because the essays of both sides of the newspaper are interesting.

B. Because the essay is not interesting and he doesn’t like to keep it.

C. Because he finds it unnecessary to do so.

D. Because he knows well that even if he cuts out the essay, he will be too busy to read it

again.

18.Sometimes you have to give up something and might never do it again because __________.

A. the situation might change

B. you might have no interest in it anymore

C. it might not be important anymore

D. you might not want to do it anymore

19.What does the writer think of a casual choice?

A. You will be doomed to feel regretful about the choice.

B. A casual choice may lead to a tragedy in life.

C. A casual choice may turn out be a good one.

D. Life will be full of miseries because of the casual choice.

20.What do es the sentence “When one door closes, another one opens” imply?

A. There is only one choice which is most suitable for us in life.

B. Life will be full of other opportunities even if we have made a bad choice.

C. Any choice in life will determine whether we will live a happy life or not.

D. Once a choice is made, there will be no other opportunities in life.

The butterfly is an insect. Butterflies are noted for their wings, which are often colorful and bright.

Butterfly wings are a bit like bird wings. Bird wings are made of feathers, but butterfly wings are made of tiny overlapping scales. The wings are colored in various patterns. Some butterfly wings look iridescent (changing rainbow colors, depending on the light) because of the way light hits the scales.

Butterflies have an interesting life cycle. They start as eggs. When they are born, they are what we call caterpillars(毛虫). This is the larval stage for the caterpillar. The caterpillars then move into a cocoon(茧), becoming what we call a chrysalis(蝶蛹). This is the pupal(蛹的)stage. When the insect comes out of the cocoon, we call it a butterfly. This is the adult stage for the butterfly. These clear stages of changing on the way to adulthood are called metamorphosis. Many animals go through metamorphosis, but the butterfly’s changes are more dramatic than most.

Butterflies can be found almost all over the world. There may be as many as twenty thousand different species of butterflies.

Butterflies usually eat flower nectar(花蜜). Because of this, they are important to the life cycle of many flowers. Butterflies also need minerals, which they usually get from water found in dirt and sand.

They reach their adult stage in the summer. Some butterflies migrate. The Monarch butterflies migrate about 3000 miles (4800km) every year. They fly between Mexico and California.
