II. Reading Comprehension (20×2)
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.
Passage 1
Some people do not like anything to be out of place. They are never late for work. They return their books to the library on time. They remember people’s birthdays, a nd they pay their bills as soon as they arrive. Mr. Rock is such a person.
Mr. Rock works in a bank, and lives on his own. The only family he has is in the next town. His sister lives there with her husband, and her son, Mark. Mr. Rock does not see his sister or her family every year, but he sends them Christmas cards and he has not forgotten one of Mark’s seventeen birthdays.
Last week Mr. Rock had quite a surprise. He drove home from the bank at the usual time, driving neither too slowly nor too fast. He parked his car where he always parks it, out of the way of other cars, and went inside to make his evening meal. Straight away, there was a knock at the door. Mr. Rock opened the door only to find a policeman on the door step.
“Have I done anything wrong?”Mr. Rock asked himself. “Have I driven on the wrong side of the road? Has there been some trouble at the bank? Have I forgotten to pay an important bill?”
“Hello, uncle,” said the policeman. “My name is Mark. I am your nephew.”

Passage 2
If you judge by the number of people who go to see the games and by the number of those who actually play it, basketball is probably the most popular sport in the United States today. It is mainly an indoor game, and the season extends from late autumn, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams; but for the most part, basketball is a school sport. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team.
In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather, you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every corner of that land, and the activities of the professional teams are a subject of conversation for Americans
everywhere.
In autumn, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty in seeing any sense in it. But for most people the game itself is not so important as the music and the cheering that go with it. On a cool bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful and exciting as a football game.
6. Basketball is probably the most popular sport in America today because_____________.

Passage 3
A great deal of nonsense is written about the character of a nation, chiefly because many observers, influenced by national pride and prejudices feel irresistibly tempted （诱惑）to generalize（概括）about everything. In a nation of many millions of people, there are bound to be many different kinds: rich and poor, clever and stupid, good and bad, modest and conceited（自满的）, patient and impatient, honest and
dishonest. Moreover, a nation may develop a sort of collective character in its politics and literature, which is not recognizable in individual people. Generalizations, therefore, tend to be unrealistic, and should be made, and accepted, with caution. One word of warning is necessary. The British people who take up appointments in Asia and Africa are not fully typical of their nation. For one thing, they are usually specialists in one field or another. The average British person is not a specialist, and although he can read and write he is not particularly cultured in the intellectual sense. “Highbrow” is a word very often used by the common people of Britain to describe and condemn any form of intellectual culture.
Moreover, the great technical achievements of Europeans do not mean that a European is basically more intelligent than an African or Asian. The achievements are due to the handing down and sharing of knowledge and to organized training and research rather than to mental superiority; and of course, the mere possession of, say, a motor-car or washing machine and the ability to operate it, does not require any understanding of how it works.
11. To know the character of a nation, one should _______.
A.o bserve the behavior of the leaders
B.read the literature of the nation
C.never accept any generalizations
D.f orm a sound judgement of everything
12. One reason for the difference between the British people working abroad and the
average person at home is that the former ________.
A.a re more intellectually cultured
B.have made many foreign friends
C.work much harder
D.h old important positions
13. According to the author, ______.
A.E uropeans are more intelligent than Africans and Asians
B.there is no such a thing as mental superiority
C.Europeans should share their knowledge with Africans and Asians
D.m ental superiority is vital to the scientific progress in Europe
14. This passage is written ______.
A.t o warn the readers against misunderstanding the British people
B.to make a brief introduction to different social classes in Britain
C.to criticize the nonsense written about Britain
D.t o describe the people’s living conditions in Britain
15. What does the author imply by writing the last sentence of the passage?
A.K nowing how to operate a motor-car or washing machine means a high
mental intelligence.
B.The technical achievements of Europeans are due to their intelligence.
C.Only knowing how to operate some household appliances does not really
mean that they are of real intelligence.
D.E uropeans are more intelligent than Africans and Asians because they are of
mental superiority.
Passage 4
When you take a walk in any of the cities in the West, you often see a lot of people walking dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful and faithful animal in the world, but the reason why people keep a dog has changed. In the old days people used to train dogs to protect themselves against attacks from other beasts. And
later they came to realize that a dog was not only useful for protection but willing to obey his master. For example, when people used dogs for hunting, the dog
would not eat what was caught without permission.
But now people in cities need not protect themselves against attacks of animals. Why do they keep dogs, then? Some people keep dogs to protect themselves from robbery. But the most important reason is for companionship. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For young couples, a dog is their child when they have no children. For old couples, a dog is also their child when their real children have grown up. So the main reason why people keep dogs has changed from protection to friendship.
16.According to the passage, in the old days people trained dogs _______ .
A.f or protection against robbery
B.just for fun
C.for companionship
D.f or protection against other animals
17.The word “companionship” may mean _______.
A.w orship
B.treasure
C.friendly relationship
D.p artnership
18.The dogs were used for hunting because ________ .
A.t hey were good hunters
B.they obeyed their masters
C.they were useful for protection
D.t hey did not eat other animals
19.The most important reason for people to keep dogs now is _______.
A.t hey need companion
B.they like children
C.they enjoy hunting
D.t hey want to protect themselves
20.We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.
A.d ogs can be helpful to those who need company
B.city people always feel lonely
C.dogs can be interesting
D.t he city can be a very dangerous place
Passage 5
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make choices between “ flight” and “fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we can not remove stress from our life (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
21. We are fast losing the art of relaxation because_______.
A.t he pace of life is increasing
B.we are rushing through our life
C.we are on the go from morning till night
D.a ll of the above
22. According to the writer, the most important character for a manager is _______.
A.t o know the art of relaxation
B.not to fear stress
C.to provide motivation for others
D.t o enjoy good health
23. As far as the amount of stress is concerned, _______.
A.d ifferent people can withstand different amount of stress
B.different people can withstand the same amount of stress
C.a man can withstand different amount of stress at different time
D.a man can withstand the same amount of stress at different time
24. The phrase “such a reaction” refers to _______.
A.t he “fight”
B.the “ flight”
C.the reaction to high blood pressure and heart diseases
D.t he reaction to stress both chemically and physically
25. The a uthor’s idea about stress is possibly ______.
A.t o completely remove it from our lives
B.to have stronger stress that lasts longer
C.to find proper ways to deal with it
D.t o be always exposed to huge stress
Passage 6
No other author in American literature is better known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in Missouri in 1835, he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River and became a riverboat pilot when he was 21 years old. So he adopted the pen name of “Mark Twain”, which was derived from a phr ase meaning “two fathoms deep” used by the boatmen on the Mississippi as they measured the depth of the river. The river environment inspired the two novels which brought him his greatest fame: “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn”. Another book, “Life on th e Mississippi”, told of his adventures on the river boats of that period.

In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with her picture even before he met her. According to his biographers, his wife had a great influence on Twain’s later books.
Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talks on a variety of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.
“Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn” are considered Twain’s best works. They are marked by humor and satire and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his era. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death. He was 74 years old.

Passage 7
Pat O’Burke was a poor Irishman with a large family, and one morning, waking up very early from cold and hunger, he decided to go shooting in a wood near his cottage. The wood belonged to Lord Northwood, a rich gentleman, and Pat had no right to go there, but in it there were swarms of rabbits and flocks of birds that were good to eat, and Pat determined to take the risk. Suddenly he saw the owner, with a group of friends, coming towards him in the wood. There was a look of anger on Lord Northwood’s face as he caught sight of the gun in Pat’s hands. Pat’s heart sank with fear, but he saw there was no hope of escape, so he walked boldly up to the company and said to Lord Northwood, “Good morning, sir, and what has brought you out so early this morning?” Lord Northwood, rather surprised, said he and his friends were taking a little exercise to get an appetite for their breakfast. Then, looking at Pat with suspicion, he said, “But why are you out so early in the morning?” “Well, sir,” said Pat, “I just came out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.” The whole crowd burst into laughter at Pat’s ready wit, and with a smile Lord Northwood walked on, leaving Pat to try his luck with the rabbits.

Passage 8
We are all part of history. Our ways of living today will seem strange to our grandchildren. Our clothes, our automobiles, even our kinds of food, will seem very queer to them. “How strange life must have been back in those days!” our grandchildren will say to us.
Changes in way of living are an important part of history. Our ancestors lived very differently from the way we live now. And their ancestors seemed strange to them too.
History is the story of whatever happened to people before today. Some events were thrilling, and some were sad. Men have been very cruel in wars and revolutions. On the other hand, many men have worked for peace and freedom.
Discoveries of new lands have played an important part in history. How interesting those stories of discoveries are! It is fun, too, to read about inventions and the ways in which they have changed people’s lives. Discoveries in science and medicine have made great changes, too.
History is the story of presidents and kings, of heroes and villains. It is the story of ordinary people, too. History is everybody’s story!

Passage 9
Many people think New York is a noisy city. The noise level comes from having so many people and cars in the same area. Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you are get into a taxi, you hear voices saying things such as buckling your seat belt, “ Don’t forget to collect all your belongings.”, and so on.
There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12 000 cabs in New Y ork, and every year taxis get into more than 15 000 accidents. Every year, about 11 ,000 people get injured in this way.
Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages. “I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the sam e voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy,” says Amir, a 45-year-old cabdriver. “But if I don’t play the messages, I get fined $100.” A lot of passengers complain, too. “It’s too much noise,” says a passenger. “I asked the driver to turn off the messages,but he said he can’t.”
Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says, “People like to hear the famous voices, and they put on their seat belts more often.” And passengers from out of town really like the idea. “Most of the time, ta xi drivers are in a bad mood,” says Melanie Benton, who visits New York often on business. “It’s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get into a cab.”

Passage 10
I see four kinds of pressure working on college students today: economic pressure, parental pressure, peer pressure, and self-induced pressure. It is easy to look around for villains---- to blame the colleges for charging too much money, the professors for assigning too much work, the parents for pushing their children too far, the students for driving themselves too hard. But there are no villains, only victims.
They know that entrance into the better schools will be an entrance into the better law firms and better medical practices where they will make a lot of money. They also know that it is very hard to achieve success both in life and in study.
The pressure is almost as heavy on students who just want to graduate and get a job. They live in a brutal economy. Along with economic pressure goes parental pressure. Inevitably, the two are deeply intertwined（缠绕在一起）. Poor students, poor parents. They are caught in one of the oldest webs of love and duty and guilt. The parents mean well; they are trying to steer their sons and daughters toward a secure future. Many parents would rather put their money on courses that point toward a specific profession____ courses that are pre-law, pre-medical, pre-business, or, as I sometimes heard it put, “pre-rich.”
But the pressure on students is severe. They are truly torn. One part of them feels dutiful to fulfill their pa rents’ expectations; after all, their parents are older and
presumably wiser. Another part tells them that the expectations that are right for their parents are not right for them.
Peer pressure and self-induced pressure are also intertwined, and they begin almost at the beginning of freshman year. Part of the problem is that they do more than they are expected to do. When a teacher gets more and more efforts from his class, the student who is doing normal work can be perceived not doing well. The tactic（战术）works, psychologically.
Ultimately it will be the students’ own business to break the circles in which they are trapped. They must believe in themselves as unique men and women who have the power to shape their own future.
46.The pressures working on college students, according to the passage, are ________.
A.economic and parental pressure
B.peer and self-induced pressure
C.pressure from very difficult courses
D.both A and B
47.From the passage, we may say, the author thinks that ________.
A.it is right for the parents to drive their children extremely hard in order to have
a secure future
