Reading Comprehension (2 points each, 40 points)Directions:In this part, there are four passages followed by several questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE that you think is the correct answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its ownerdid not know what to do. The price was reasonable and the food was of good quality, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant is always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a menu(菜单), the menu looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man supplied the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine, while the menu that he gave to the lady supplied a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous(慷慨) than he really was.11. Why didn’t people come to the White Rose Restaurant to eat at first?A. Because the price was high.B. Because the food was too cheap.C. Because the food was not good.D. The passage didn’t mention.12. According to the passage we can conclude that the people who eat at thisrestaurant are mostly ______.A. poor old peopleB. rich young peopleC. men with their girl friendsD. parents with their children13. The difference between the two kinds of menu lie in ______.A. the colorB. the shapeC. the priceD. the food14. According to the passage we can infer that when men with their girl friends eat atthis restaurant, the food was paid _____.A. always by the ladies onlyB. always by the men onlyC. sometimes by the ladiesD. either by the men or by the ladies15. According to the passage we can know that, generally speaking, ______.A. men are more generous than womenB. women are more generous than menC. men like their lady friends to be generous.D. women like their men friends to be generousPassage 2Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do，and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food can be bought，cooked，canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meat can be had at the restaurant，the worker’s canteen，and the school dining-room.It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home，and his children rarely，if ever，see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not-unusual factor in a child’s home life，the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages，father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages accrue，but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.16. The writer mentions home as workshop because______.A. fathers often pursue employment at homeB. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-lifeC. many families produce goods at home for saleD. both fathers and mothers in most families are workers17. The writer says that home has become much less of a workshop. He means______.A. in the past, home was more like a workshopB. home is much more of a workshop nowC. home-workshops are becoming fewer and fewerD. home was less like a workshop in the past18.The word “accrue”in the sentence“When mother...accrue，”is closest in meaning to ______.A. changeB. dwindleC. doubleD. increase19. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation is ______.A. that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of workB. that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any moreC. that there is a wide choice of employment for childrenD. that children also like to have jobs outside20. What makes father no longer the only dominant person in a family?A. With their earning，mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.B. There are many choice of employment for mothers and children.C. Father does much less for his children today than he used to.D. The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write．Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call ‘remembered history’．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A. “Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history．C. A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions．D. Where there are no written records．there is no history．22．We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _____.A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write23．“Remembered history”refers to _____．A. his tory based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C24．“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when _____.A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be timeD. people are interested in it25 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than wedo now if the ancient people had _____A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage 4Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine？The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a tenhorse-power engine.26. The main idea of the passage is ___.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine27. The story says that Watt made the first ____.A. engineB. horse-power engineC. useful engineD. widely used steam engine28. James Watt was born in ____.A. a worker’s familyB. a farmer’s familyC. a teacher’s familyD. a doctor’s steam engine29. Watt wanted to find a way to ____.A. measure the work his engine could doB. tell people how powerful his engine wasC. lift a 3300-pound weightD. both A and B30. One horse-power means the ____.A. work a horse could do in a minuteB. weight a horse could do in ten minutesC. work a horse could do in ten minutesD. weight of one horseIII.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno.” I explained, h oping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghananian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”Taxi drivers were uniformly (一致地) sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my pl an to burn down my boss’s house, “If you do something silly and they put you away, you cannot look for another job.” A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope: He refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge, a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red skin mask and holding a stuffed (塞满的) pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried hailing(招呼) a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with Guy Caaude Thevenain, a Haitian driver, was typical of the superb (一流的) assistance I received.“Is anyone following us?”“No,” said the driver, looking in his rearview mirror at traffic and me.“Let’s go across the park,” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $ 25,000.”“$25,000?” he asked.“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”“No, man. I w ork 8 hours and I earn just $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”As we approached 86, Lexington Street, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”“No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” H is reluctance may have something to do with money — taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low, but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.21. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ________.A. he was not caring about the killingB. he was frightened to hear what the writer saidC. he thought the writer was a criminalD. he thought the writer was crazy22. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to give the writer a ride?II. Reading Comprehension (30 points) 装订线内不要答题2006级非英语专业《大学英语IV》期末考试试卷（A）本卷共14页第3页2006级非英语专业《大学英语IV》期末考试试卷（A）本卷共14页第4页A.

The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.24. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.B. They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.C. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.D. They work only for money.25. The passage mainly discusses ___________________.A. how to please taxi ridersB. how to deal with taxi ridersC. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders in personal troubleD. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards the governmentQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge(保护区) (ANWR) to help secure America’s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth, with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U. S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two to three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U. S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall(意外之财) in tax revenue, royalties(开采权使用费) and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a documented case of an oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice,” says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so fast, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output — and just 3% of the nation’s.26. What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A.It will increase America’s energy consumption.B.It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserves.C.It will help reduce the nation’s oil imports.D.It will help secure the future of ANWR.27. We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________.A. shows little interests in tapping oil in ANWRB. expects to stop oil imports from Saudi ArabiaC. tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilD. believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yields28. Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that_______.A. it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionB. it can do little to solve U. S. energy problemsC. it can cause serious damage to the environmentD. it will not have much commercial value29. What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast” (Line 1, Para. 3)?A. Don’t be too optimistic.B. Don’t expect fast returns.C. The oil drilling should be delayed.D. Oil exploitation takes a long time.30. It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth ________.A. involves a lot of technological problemsB. remains a controversial issueC. is expected to get under way soonD. will enable the U. S. to be oil independentQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Although suicide rates around the world are about three times higher for men than women, evidence is mounting that in developing countries in Asia, suicide is far more common among young women than men.In a study this week in The Lancet medical journal, researchers give the first picture of suicide among young people in India. In a region near Vellore in southern India, more than twice as many young women aged 10 to 19 committed suicide as men in the same age group. The study found the average suicide rate装订线内不要答题2006级非英语专业《大学英语IV》期末考试试卷（A）本卷共14页第5页2006级非英语专业《大学英语IV》期末考试试卷（A）本卷共14页第6页for women in that age group was 148 per 100,000, compared with 58 suicides per 100,000 men. Globally, the suicide rate for men is about 24 per 100,000, and about 6.8 per 100,000 for women.Experts say the latest study was based on too few suicides to be certain the observed rates are valid, but added that the research shows suicide is vastly underreported in the developing world.One of the major differences between suicide in the West and in developing countries is the method. It is known from studies in the West that more women than men attempt suicide, but fewer succeed.Usually, women in Western countries attempt suicide by slashing their wrists or swallowing pills, both methods that are treatable. In rural India, the methods are hanging, poisoning with lethal insecticides that are banned in many other parts of the world and setting oneself on fire. All three are difficult to survive.Some of the pesticides, widely kept in rural homes, kill within three hours. For women trying to kill themselves in the countryside, where there is no transportation and sometimes no roads, it is often too late by the time they reach a hospital.There are a few theories why young Asian women are committing suicide at such a high rate.“It could be because of lack of education, conflicts surrounding the issue of arranged marriages, love failures, dowries and things like that,”said Dr. Lakshmi Vijayakumar, who runs the Sneha Suicide Prevention Center in Chennai, in the Madras region of India.Overall in India, male suicides start to outnumber the women as they get older, said Vijayakumar, who was not involved with the latest study.Once the women have children, they become emotionally and psychologically stronger and the suicide rate goes down, she said.31. According to the latest research, the average suicide rate around the world is ______ that of thedeveloping countries concerning about the gender factor.A. similar toB. the same asC. irrelevant toD. different from32. Comparatively speaking, the suicide rate around the world for men is ______ higher than it forwomen.A. more than twiceB. more than three timesC. twiceD. more than one time33. Experts’ attitude toward the latest study in Vellore in southern India is _______.A. totally agreeableB. oppositeC. criticalD. extreme 34. In rural India, women often attempt suicide by the following means except _______.A. poisoning with pesticidesB. setting oneself on fireC. swallowing pillsD. hanging35. The factors influencing the phenomenon that young Asian women are committing suicide at such ahigh rate DO NOT include ________.A. educationB. emotionC. egoismD. marriage issuesQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Like many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, not least because my oldest brother was a bit of acar guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the “Car of the Future.” They featured unconventional styling and things like small nuclear reactors as power sources. Yet, frankly, my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do. It goes, it stops, it burns gasoline, it plays music. I still have to steer it, andit still runs into things if I don’t steer it carefully.But guess what? All of these things are subjected to change in the not-so-distant future. It will still go and stop, but it may not burn gasoline, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.Airbags aren’t the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed collisions (碰撞), they obviously still need some development. But they aren’t going away, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer.Better than systems to minimize injury in the event of an accident, however, are systems that minimizethe likelihood of an accident happening in the first place. Future cars may be able to eliminate many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving, tailgating and sleepiness. Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a driver’s system and prevent the car from being started, for example. Many accidents are caused by people following the car in front too closely. As early as next year, you’ll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determines you’re closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle. For city streets, expect other radar devices that will give advance warning that the car in front of you has slowed abruptly and you should step on the brakes — or that may even brake for you.Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves? There’s no reason to think it won’t be technically possible, and Mercedes is working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a装订线内不要答题2006级非英语专业《大学英语IV》期末考试试卷（A）本卷共14页第7页2006级非英语专业《大学英语IV》期末考试试卷（A）本卷共14页第8页2006级非英语专业《大学英语IV 》期末考试试卷（A ） 本卷共14页 第9页 2006级非英语专业《大学英语IV 》期末考试试卷（A ） 本卷共14页 第10页highway on its own. Nobody really expects people to give up all control to their cars, but such systems could be used as failsafe systems to keep cars on the road and bring them safely to a stop even if the driver suddenly became disabled.36.
