Part III Reading Comprehension (30points)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question 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 with a single line through the center. Passage 1
Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.
Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.
Parents are also concerned about the commercials(商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.
Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.
Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.
31. Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?
A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.
B. Television has much influence on children.
C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.
D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.
32. In what ways do children suffer from television?
A. They become the victims of social violence.
B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.
C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.
D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.
33. Parents would not like their children to see commercials because__________.
A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertising
B. commercials teach children alphabet and numbers
C. commercials help to sell products
D.they don’t like commercials
34. Educational television is widely appreciated because_________.
A. it does have the same commercials as others
B. it offers programs for both children and their parents
C. many parents like the programs it offers for their children
D. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school
35. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A. Watching Too Much Television Is Harmful to Young Minds.

Passage 2
Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought (干旱) and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important . In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.
Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation. Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cult down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.
This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert. 36. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that they can_____________.
A. keep him from the hot sunshine
B. enable him to build warships
C. make him draw quick profit from them
D. protect him from droughts and floods
37. It’s a great pity that _______.
A. man is only interested in building empires
B. man is not eager to make profits from trees
C. man hasn’t realized the importance of trees to him
D. man hasn’t found out that he has lost all trees
38. Sooner or later the forests will desappear______________.
A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees
B. unless people stop cutting down their trees
C. unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees
D. unless the government punishes those who trees instead of planting them
39. The word ―bind‖ in Paragraph 5 means―__________‖.
A. to wash away
B. to make wet
C. to make stay together
D. to improve
40. When there is a heavy rain, trees can help to prevent floods, as they can ________.
A. keep rain from falling down to soft ground
B. make it possible for the soil to allow rainwater to sink in
C. prevent the soil from being washed away
D. make the topsoil stick together
Passage 3
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful ? This might be called laziness, but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic （精力充沛）is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the people the peak comes before noon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar saying as : ―Get up, John! You’re late for work again!‖ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling end when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll work better at your low point.
Get off to slow start which saves your energy. When you get up, sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
41. According to the new findings of Dr. Kleitman, if a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _____________.
A. he is a lazy person
B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle
C. he is not sure when his energy is low
D. he is at his energy peak in the afternoon or evening
42. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?
A. Unawareness of energy cycles
B. Familiar saying
C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle
D. Attempts to control the energy of other family members.
43. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ___
A. change his energy cycle
B. overcome his laziness
C. get up earlier than usual
D. go to bed earlier
44. You are advised to act slow when you rise in the morning because it will ___
A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B. help you to control your mood early in the day
C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D. keep your energy cycle under control all day
45. Which of the following statements I NOT true?
A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.
B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of day.
C. Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle.
D. Children have energy cycles, too.

Passage 1
We are all in a rush. We are hurrying here and there. The pressure of time characterizes life today. People live living at a breakneck speed. Fast-food restaurants, one minute bedtime stories, microwave ovens, quick freezers, instant noodles（面条）,automatic dial buttons on the telephone, the remote control of a television, emails, the Internet, all these have caused a speed-up in the pace of people’s life. These days it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, w atch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once, if you dare. Not long ago, for most people, listening to the radio was a single-task activity. Now it is rare for a person to listen to the radio and do nothing else. Even
television has lost its command of our attention. In so many houses the TV just stays on, like a noisy light, while the life of the busy family passes back and forth in front of it.
In the technology-driven Western world, the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring a sense of tension about time. People believe that they have little time, They wish they had 48 hours a day. American culture views time as a thing to be kept and saved. Timesaving is a subject often talked about and discussed. Books with such titles as Streamlining Your Life; Take Your Time; More Hours in My Day are always best sellers. People have talked and wanted many ways to ―save time‖. But what does this concept mean? Does timesaving mean getting more done ? If so, does talking on a mobile phone at the beach save time or waste it ? If you can choose between a 30 minute train ride, during which you can read and a 20 minute drive, during which you cannot read, does this drive save ten minutes? Does it make sense to say driving saves ten minutes from your travel budget while removing ten minutes from your reading budget?
These questions have no answer. They depend on a concept that is ill formed: the very idea of timesaving. Some of us say we want to save time when really we just want to do more and faster. It might be simplest to recognize that there is time and we make choices about how to spend it, how to spare it, how to use it and how to fill it.
Time is not a thing we have lost. It is not a thing we ever had. It is what we live in. 11．According to the passage, what characterizes life today is that we______.
A．are all in a rush B．live at a breakneck speed C．save a lot of time D．feel time is pressing
12．In the sentence, “These days it is possible to drive, eat, listen to the radio, watch a TV show or talk on the phone all at once…”the phrase “all at once”means all______. A．immediately B．at the same time C．quickly D．instantly 13．The author believes that the increasing wealth and the increasing education bring a sense of tension______.
A．about time B．among people C．with more things to do D．both A and B
14．The author______ the American idea that time is a thing that can be kept and saved. A．believes in B．does not believe C．is doubtful about D．is certain about
15．The best title for this passage is______.
A．Can We Save Time B．What Is Time?
C．The Idea of Timesaving D．The Importance of Timesaving Passage 2

What will man be like in the future – in 5,000 or even 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.
Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity （容量）. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and finally we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change too: the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.
On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.
But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer.

The doctors in Children's Hospital are asking for money for children's toys. Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks. Toys are needed to keep the sick children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital. After Mrs. Weeks read the story，she said，"This story gave me an idea." "You want us to bring some money for the toys." "We could bring some of our own toys for the children in the hospital, "said the boys and the girls one after another. "Well, your ideas would be nice, "Mrs. Weeks said，"but mine is different." "We could make some toys, "shouted one of them. Mrs. Weeks smiled. "Do you think you could make toys?" she asked. "Yes, yes, "the whole class answered. "Great! Let's begin to make toys tomorrow, "said Mrs. Weeks. On Saturday afternoon，Mrs. Weeks took the children to the hospital with the toys made by her students. The children in the hospital felt very happy to see the toys. So did the children in the class. A few days later，Mrs. Weeks read another newspaper story to the class: Some school pupils brought toys to Children's Hospital last week. The toys were made by the pupils of Grade Three in Green Street School. The doctors said，"We have never had so many wonderful toys. Our children are very happy with them. They say，'THANK YOU，GRADE THREE.'" (1)、The first newspaper story was mainly about sick children in children's Hospital. T A：T B：F (2)、Let the class make some toys and give them to the children in the hospital was in Mrs. Weeks' mind. T A：T B：F (3)、At first，the doctors in Children's Hospital wanted to get some money to buy toys for the sick children. T A：T B：F (4)、From the passage we can learn that what Mrs. Weeks really wanted to do is to ask her class to save money for toys. F A：T B：F (5)、The author's tone in this passage is enthusiastic. T A：T B：F 2、Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. 在英国，住的地方随着你游览地点的不同而有所区别。Whatever your budget is the choice -from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle - is all part of fun. Hostels Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don't have to be young or single to use them. Britain's independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable －almost like bargain hotels. Youth Hotels Founded many years ago to "help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside", the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain's towns and countryside. B&Bs The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a Great British institution, In essence you get a room in somebody's house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you'll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome. In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B&Bs charge about ￡25 to ￡30 per person, although they're often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.

英语的由来 英语English,是由古代从北欧及斯堪的纳威亚半岛移民 至大不列颠群岛的盎格鲁,撒克逊和朱特部落的日耳曼人所说的 语言演变而来,并通过英国的殖民活动传播到世界各地.由于历史 上曾和多民族语言接触,他们的词汇从一元变为多元,语法从 ‘多屈折’变成’少屈折’.语音也发生了规律性变化. 英语的重要性 一,英语是当今世界上主要的国际通用语言 从全世界来看,说英语的人数已经超越了任何语言的人 数,10多个国家以英语为母语,45个国家的官方语言是英语, 世 界三分之一的人口二十几亿讲英语.比如在日本,除了他们的本 国母语--日语之外,英语是他们的第二语言,很多高层次的日本人 以会说英语为荣. 二,英语的使用范围非常广泛 全世界百分之七十五的电视节目是英语,四分之三的邮件 是用英语书写,电脑键盘是英语键盘,任何一个会议敢号称是国际 会议,其会议工作语言一定要用英语,也是联合国的正式工作语 言. 大多数国家的高等学府,大学院校,都开设英语语言文学专 业,仅在中国,就有一百多所大学设有英语专业或英语相关专业. 电脑和互联网,也是建立在英语的基础上,这个行业的语言, 就是英语. 此外,在医学领域,建筑领域,文学领域,都与英语有极大的 关联. 学习技巧 learn skills 正如美国总统林肯所说`一个人必须依据语言,逻辑和’ 简单的尝试’来解决问题和建立自己的行动计划.在学习英语的 过程中,按照常理去做就可能成功,违背了常理,就不可能成功.当 然,成功与否还取决于努力. 1,上课时间一定要充分把握,思维跟着老师走. 2,坚持听磁带录音并大声朗读课文,可改善自己的语音语调. 3,通过学习课文,在课余时间翻译课文, 4,对没课的语法重点,要适时总结,细致分析 5,需要背诵的课文一定要默写, 6,课选购一本符合自己能力的辅导书,每天适当练习 7,必须熟练掌握八大语法,因为无论在英语交流还是考试中, 都是重中之重.
