Reading ComprehensionPassage 1The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are more likely to cause certain different illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, about 35 years ago, government researchers realized that nitrates, commonly used to preserve color in meats, andother food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and living animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are given to animals not for medical purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.21. What is the best possible title of the passage?A. Drug and FoodB. Cancer and HealthC. Food and HealthD. Health and Drug22. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B.Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to theliving animals.C.Researchers have known about the potential dangers of food additives for over thirty-fiveyears.D.Food has may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.23. How has science done something harmful to mankind?A. Because of science, diseases caused by polluted food have been virtually eliminated.B. It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.C. Because of the application of science, some potentially harmful substances have been addedto food.D. The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.24. What are nitrates used for?A.They preserve the flavor in packaged foods.B. They preserve the color of meats.C.They are the objects of research.D. They cause the animals to become fatter.25. The word “carcinogenic” most nearly means …________‟.A. trouble-making C. color-retainingB. money-making D. cancer-causingPassage 2Let us take a look at the chief thing in the story---the human body itself. A human body appears to be rather soft and delicate, compared with that of a wild animal, but it is actually surprisingly strong. Indeed, its very softness and looseness is an advantage: it makes man good at moving about and falling about in safety. Man is the most skillful in movement of all living things of his own size, because he can do so many different things with his limbs. Man‟s games show how he can control his own body. No other land creature can swim as skillfully as man; none has such varied grace; very few live as long as he; none has such strong in its natural resistance to disease. Therefore man has a great advantage in his battle against the risks of damage and death that threaten him. It is difficult to kill him as long as he is fed and in good health. Yet every day thousands of people die needlessly, even though man is naturally strong, because those two killers, disease and starvation, win the battle.Old age? No one can live forever, so one might suppose that quite a large number of old people would come to the end of their days every year. There is, however, another thing to remember. During the time it has taken you to read this page, a considerable number of babieshave been born somewhere in the world---one is born every one and a quarter seconds! Of these babies, one group can be expected to have a good long life of about seventy years, because they were lucky enough to be born in countries where living standards are high.The deadliest of all killers are starvation and disease. We cannot be content until we have mastered them. To do so is one of the most important tasks of our times.26. The softness and looseness of man‟s body is an advantage because it ________.A.makes him strongB. helps him to avoid injuryC. makes him resistant to diseasesD. keeps him in good health27. The words “varied grace” refer to man‟s ________.A.softnessB. strengthC. ability to swim wellD. ability to perform many different movements easily and skillfully28. The sentence that could be considered the topic sentence begins ________.A.Let us take a look…B. A human body appears to be…C. Indeed, its very softness…D. Man is the most skillful…29. The writer tells us that ________.A.there are more old people dying than there are new babies being bornB.there are more new babies being born than there are old people dyingC.the numbers of old people dying and babies born are about the sameD.none of the above answers is right30. What according to the writer is one of the most important tasks of our times?A.To keep people from aging.B. To practice birth-control.C. To make people still stronger.D. To do away with starvation and disease.IV.

We can tell from fossil evidence in rocks that many living species have no longer been in existence over the millions of years since life began. It is a natural process, and dying out is the fate of any animal that has specialized too much to change with its changing environment, or has to compete with a better adapted and more powerful animal. Because of wonderful technical developments during the past few centuries, man has destroyed or has nearly destroyed some species by killing them at such a rate that they couldn't produce enough young, or by completely changing their natural environment at surprising speed.Examples can be given of the way in which natural environments are being rapidly changed. There is every possibility that many species of animals will die out because of their disappearing food source. Large numbers of animals have been hunted and killed for food. The North American buffalo (水牛) is a case of the near-dying-out species through hunting. Often the numbers are so great that the hunters may not realize the danger; or the financial rewards for the hunters may be so great that they choose to pay no attention to the threat to species.Many people are concerned about animals and wildlife protection. One way to protect species from the threat of dying out is to place animals in zoos and parks and breed them there. Another method is to protect the animals in their natural environment by creating wildlife protection areas and parks and using police to look after them. But the parks are large, the police are few, and the determination of hunters is very great. Early in 1980s, police and hunters clashed in East Africa. The hunters were armed with modern weapons, and several people were killed.There is great pleasure in watching wildlife in natural or near-natural environments, and tourism can add to the income of countries. The animals are still resources-but in a very different form.DDDABAccording to the passage, when will animal species become extinct (灭绝)? When it suffers aA. disease it has never known before.B. When it has been in existence for too many years.C. When it has a death rate that is made faster by man.D. When it produces babies slower than the death rate.What might happen to an animal species if it specialized too much?A. It might produce more young.B. It might compete even better.C. It might be forced to change.D. It might die out in the end.One way to protect species from the threat of dying out is to _________.A. build up walls to isolate animals in nature from peopleB. put all the hunters into prison and keep them thereC. educate people in general to protect animals wellD. place animals in zoos and breed them there safelyHow do wildlife protection areas protect endangered animals?A. They use police help to protect them.B. They prevent hunters from killing them.C. They make the areas like natural places.D. They provide the animals with much food.Why do tourists go to places where they can watch wildlife?A. They can add to the income of troubled countries.B. They can make themselves happy by seeing animals.C. They can encourage the growth of natural places.D. They can make use of animal resources more often.Have you ever felt your mind getting confused after a sleepless night and you couldn't come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried?You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get any sleep at all—they stayed awake all night. The next day,Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was "How many uses can a box be put to?"The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tired students did poorly.Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the tired students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn't enough to help the students overcome their tiredness. They still did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, "even if you think harder, you cannot do better."This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airplane pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.ACDADAccording to the passage, failure to think of new ideas may be _____________.A. caused by a lack of sleepB. caused by hard questionsC. caused by a weak brainD. caused by too much studyTired people have no problem with _____________________.A. finding uses for boxesB. making creative ideasC. doing simple math testsD. taking research testsThe purpose for offering money to the tired students was to _____________.A. help them repair their brainsB. stimulate their interestsC. convince people to joinD. encourage them to do betterSleep might help people by ________________.A.repairing the brainB. giving creative dreamsC. providing fresh energyD. allowing harder thoughtThis information is useful to people like nurses and pilots because _____________.A. they often meet situations in which they must be creativeB. they often take tests to display their abilities to do their jobsC. they often go to the hospital because of brain problemsD. they often get little sleep but make important decisionsIt might be surprising for some people to believe that, in today's computer-and-Internet-driven society, there are some book publishers that are still committed to traditional books. Maybe the most famous encyclopedia company, The Encyclopaedia Britannica, which dates back to the 18th century, is planning to release their largest set of books in 2001. This 40-volume set will be the largest printed in its 231-year history.Because of the success of recent Internet and computer encyclopedias, some people have suggested that the publishers could turn their back on print. However, company representative Paul Hoffman said the company is committed to paper and ink."There is still a place for books, even with all of the computer encyclopedias. And many people around the world still want books," he said.Encyclopedias, in book form, are common in library collections and on school shelves. They are often used in student research. And none are used more than those published by the Encyclopedia Britannica.Even so, the company is selling fewer and fewer books and more and more computer encyclopedias, possibly because of the price. The books, US $1450 for a 32-book set, are too expensive for people. The computerized version, which contains all the same information, costs only a 10th of the price.ADCABWhat about the Encyclopedia Britannica is so surprising?A. The company is committed to publishing books.B. The company is selling Internet encyclopedias.C. The company is still open after so many years.D.

Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate (大学本科在校的) students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come down this might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future.CAADBThe Open University provides an education for _________________.A. students who do not like attending regular universitiesB. students who failed the College Entrance ExaminationC. students who are adults and away from a universityD. students who are limited in their ability to learnAmong other things, the further growth of distance learning at postgraduate and professional levels is limited by ____________________.A. the high costs involvedB. a low student demandC. a lack of educationD. the poor rural technologyThe attempt of one case study university to provide equipment and staff to a rural group of students _________.A. would be expandedB. did not work wellC. might help learningD. could cost a lotThe cost of setting up a distance learning program might change ______________.A. as new developments are madeB. as more students take classes thereC. as the Open University helps moreD. as technology becomes cheaperThe tone of this passage can best be described as ________________.A. DiscouragingB. encouragingC. persuasiveD. scientificWhy is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a step back from the closeness of human interaction. With email and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.As almost every imaginable contact between human beings becomes automatic by machine, the alienation quotient goes up. You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person anywhere. Phone assistance is almost always fully automatic by machine. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good morning to the worker when you can use your credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Placing money at the bank? Why talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood when you can just put your credit card into the ATM?Pretty soon you won't have the hard task of making eye contact at the grocery store. Some grocery chains are using a self-scanner so you can check yourself out, avoiding those annoying clerks who look at you and ask how you are doing.ADCDBThe effect of increased communication technology is ____________.A. the retreat of human closenessB. the lack of care for neighborsC. the saving of more free timeD. the advance of our contactsIf his mom has a question, he will ____________.A. find new ways to reach herB. send her an email messageC. try to get her a voice machineD. answer through voice mailJudging from the context, the word "alienation" (Line 2, Paragraph 2) means ___________.A.
