Reading Comprehension:Passage 1Millions of stars are traveling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering through space happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.1. Millions of stars are _______.A. following their own paths in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always traveling together2. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because_______.A. a large tidal wave of a star traveled over the surface of the sunB. another star happened to come near the sunC. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD. the star moved away from the sun3. The article suggests that _______.A. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formedC. no one knows where the earth comes fromD. our earth used to be part of a high mountain on the sun4. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to _______.A. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets5. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers _______.A. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB. how the high mountains were formed on the sunC. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD. where the planets in the universe came fromPassage 2By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increasetheir children's language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase.A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than "Is the doggie running away?" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.6. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C. Active children should read more and be given more attention.D. Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.7. What does "it" in line 2 can most probably be replaced by?A. Parents increasing children's language developmentB. Reading techniques being simpleC. Parents reading to childrenD. Children's intelligence development8. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about?A. Do you see the elephant?B. Is the elephant in the cage?C. What animals do you like?D. Shall we go to the zoo?9. The difference between the control group and the experimental group was __________.A. the training that parents receivedB. the age of the childrenC. the books that were readD. the number of the children10. The best conclusion we can draw from the passage is that __________.A. parents should be trained to read to their childrenB. the more children read, the more intelligent they will becomeC. children's language skills increase when they are required to respond activelyD. children who read actively seem six months olderPassage 3Different as they are, advertisements are alike in one important way. They have the same purpose, to get people to buy something.In the days of the cave men there was no advertising. There was no need for it. But as soon as people began to make things to sell, advertising was found to be useful. The businessmen of ancient Egypt employed "criers" to walk through the streets shouting or singing about the thingsthey wanted to sell. Newsboys still "cry" their papers now.In the Middle Ages businessmen hung picture signboards over their shop door showing what they had to sell. A large picture of a shoe above a shop door meant that it was a shoemaker's shop. It suggested buying shoes or having old ones mended.As more things were made to be sold, advertising grew. Today advertising is one of the biggest businesses. A great many people work at the advertisement. Every year billions of dollars are spent on advertising.Advertising helps sell more things to more people. This in turn makes it possible to produce more things to sell. Sometimes it even helps make things cost less. Radios, for example, used to cost much more than they do because they were turned out slowly and expensively by hand. But advertising made more people want radios. When producers began making them by the thousands, they found quicker and cheaper ways of doing the job.11. Advertising is almost all made ___________.A. by people who sell thingsB. by people who buy thingsC. by employed "criers"D. by ancient Egyptians12 All advertisements are the same in that ___________.A. they are of the same colorB. they help sell thingsC. they are made on televisionD. they often look alike13. It is not mentioned in the passage that__________.A. advertising can be in both spoken and written formsB. advertising on TV is much preferredC. the cave men did not make any advertisementD. advertising today employs many "criers"14. Radios used to cost much more than they do today because_____________.A. people did not advertiseB. no one wanted to buy themC. they were made slowly by handD. they were made quickly by machines15 Advertising which is one of the biggest businesses probably began __________.A. in the days of the cave menB. in the Middle AgesC. in the modern timeD. when there were things to sellPassage 4Recycling—using materials for the second time—is nothing new. Waste paper, rags, scrap-iron and many other things have been recycled and used again in many different ways for years. It is only the word that is new. But now that natural materials are becoming more difficult to find, many countries are experimenting with other ways of keeping materials.In the USA, a publishing firm has brought out several books on pollution and waste. The books are made of recycled paper—that is paper that has been used before. In this way, several thousand trees are saved. Multiply those books by a hundred, or even a thousand, and whole forests are saved. One clever schoolboy has worked it out that if every schoolbook in the USA was recycled, there would be enough paper for fifty packets of peanuts for every child in the world for five years. He does not say where the peanuts are to come from.Several firms are experimenting with making containers from a hard plastic which, when the contents of the containers are finished, can be used as building materials, a kind of brick. If themountains of empty cans all over the world can be changed into building materials that are not too expensive, that, too, is a new source of material.16. Waste paper, rags and scrap-iron can _______.A. be thrown awayB. not be used againC. not be keptD. be recycled and used again17. Since natural materials are becoming ______, people are finding ways of making use of wastematerials.A. more valuableB. more usefulC. more expensiveD. more difficult to find18.
