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.

As a result, some people argued recent ly that "indust ry is caught in a web of briber y" and that everyo ne is "on the take".Part 6 Readin g Compre hensi on (Multip le Choice)(Each item: 2)Direct ions:Read the follow ing passag es carefu lly and choose the best answer from thefour choice s marked A, B, C and D.Questi ons 86 to 90 are basedon the same passag e or dialog.Some pessim istic expert s feel that the automo bileis boundto fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distan t future when all autoswill be abando ned and allowe d to rust. Otherauthor ities, howeve r, thinkthe auto is here to stay. They hold thatthe car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable (可预见的)future.The motorc ar will undoub tedly change signif icant ly over the next 30 years. It should become smalle r, safer, and more econom ical, and should not be powere d by the gasoli neengine. The car of the future should be far more pollut ion-free than presen t types. Regard lessof its powersource, the auto in the future will stillbe the main proble min urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is theautomated (自动化的) highway system.When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop fromthe auto and make contac t with a rail, whichis simila r to thosepoweri ng subwaytrains electr icall y. Once attach ed to the rail, the car will become electr icall ypowere d from the system, and contro l of the vehicl e will pass to a centra l comput er. The comput er will then monito r all of the car's moveme nts.The driver will use a teleph one to dial instru ction s abouthis destin ation into the system. The comput er will calcul ate the best route, and reserv e spacefor the car all the way to the correc t exit from the highwa y. The driver will then be free to relaxand wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It isestima ted that an automa ted highwa y will be able to handle 10,000 vehicl es per hour, compar ed with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicl es that can be carrie d by a presen t-day highwa y.86.

Cautio us.Questi ons 91 to 95 are basedon the same passag e or dialog.Foxesand farmer s have nevergot on well. Thesesmalldog-like animal s have long beenaccuse d of killin g farm animal s. They are offici allyclassi fiedas harmfu l and farmer stry to keep theirnumber s down by shooti ng or poison ing them.Farmer s can also call on the servic es of theirlocalhunt to contro l the foxpopula tion. Huntin g consis ts of pursui ng a fox across the countr yside, with a groupofspecia lly traine d dogs, follow ed by men and womenriding horses. When the dogseventu allycatchthe fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.People who take part in huntin g thinkof it as a sport; they wear a specia l unifor m ofred coatsand whitetrouse rs, and follow strict codesof behavi or. But owning a horseand huntin g regula rly is expens ive, so most hunter s are wealth y.It is estima ted that up to 100,000 people watchor take part in fox huntin g. But over the last couple of decade s the number of people oppose d to fox huntin g, becaus e theythink it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to passoff without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere withthe hunt by mislea dingriders and distur bingthe trailof the fox's smell, whichthe dogs follow.Noisyconfro ntati ons betwee n hunter s and sabote urs have become so common that they arealmost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit (追逐) of foxes itself. But this yearsuppor tersof fox huntin g face a much bigger threat to theirsport. A Labour PartyMember of the Parlia ment, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parlia mentto approv e a new law whichwill make the huntin g of wild animal s with dogs illega l. If the law is passed, wild animal s like foxeswill be protec ted underthe ban in Britai n.91.

The advant agesclaime d for suchfoodsover conven tiona lly grownand market ed food produc ts are now beingdebate d. Advoca tes of organi c foods—a term whosemeanin g varies greatl y—freque ntlyprocla imthat such produc ts are saferand more nutrit iousthan others.The growin g intere st of consum ers in the safety and nutrit ional qualit y of the typica lNorthAmeric an diet is a welcom e develo pment. Howeve r, much of this intere st has beensparke d by sweepi ng claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadeq uatein meetin g nutrit ional needs. Althou gh most of theseclaims are not suppor ted by scient ificeviden ce, the greatnumber of writte n materi al advanc ing such claims makesitdiffic ult for the genera l public to separa te fact from fictio n. As a result, claimsthat eating a diet consis tingentire ly of organi cally-grownfoodspreven ts or curesdiseas e or provid es otherbenefi ts to health have become widely public izedand popula ramongcustom ers.Almost dailythe public is surrou ndedby claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitami ns,and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated (无确实根据的) reports thatnatura l vitami ns are superi or to synthe tic ones, that fertil izedeggs arenutrit ional ly superi or to unfert ilize d eggs, that untrea ted grains are better thanfertil izedgrains, and the like.One thingthat most organi cally grownfood produc ts seem to have in common is thatthey cost more than conven tiona lly grownfoods. But in many casesconsum ers are misledif they believ e organi c foodscan mainta in health and provid e better nutrit ionalqualit y than conven tiona lly grownfoods.

Apartfrom thesescienc es is philos ophy. In the firstplace, pure or theore tical knowle dgehas been sought only for the purpos e of unders tandi ng. What distin guish es man fromanimal s is that he knowsand needsto know. If man did not know that the worldexiste d, and that the worldwas of a certai n kind, that he was in the worldand thathe himsel f was of a certai n kind, he wouldn't be man. The techni cal aspect s orapplic ation s of knowle dge are equall y necess ary for man and are of the greate stimport ance, becaus e they also contri buteto defini ng him as man and permit him topursue a life increa singl y more trulyhuman.But even whileenjoyi ng the result s of techni cal progre ss, he must defend the valueofpure knowle dge.

Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Good sense is the most equitably distributed thing in the world, for each man considers himself so well provided with it that even those who are most difficult to satisfy in everything else do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already. It is not likely that everyone is mistaken in this it shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men, and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better endowed with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things, for it is not enough to have a good mind what is most important is to apply it rightly. The greatest souls are capable of the greatest vices, and those who walk very slowly can advance much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray.For my part, I have never presumed my mind to be more perfect than average in any way;I have, in fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as precise and distinct, or my memory as capacious or prompt, as those of some other men. And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the perfection of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, in as much as it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts. I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in each of us, and to follow in the common opinion of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of the individuals of a single species.21. According to the author, the three elements that comprise the perfect mind are _______.A. tenacity of thought. capacious memory. quickness of mindB. precise imagination, tenacity of memory, quickness of thoughtC. quickness of wit. ease of conscience, quickness of thoughtD. promptness of memory, distinctness of imagination, quickness of thought22. The basic idea of the first paragraph may be stated as follows:A. all persons have an equal portion of good will when they are born.B. great souls are capable of great evil.C. good sense, in terms of its distribution among persons, may be called common sense.D. good sense is the mark of the truly good person.23. About himself, the author states that ____.A. he had always sensed his mental superiority over most personsB. his awareness of his mental superiority over other was something that grew slowly,with experienceC. he actually regards his own menial faculties as inferior in many ways to those of thegreat majority of personsD. he has never had the feeling that his mind was more than average in any way24. The author claims that what sets human beings apart from beasts is ____ .A. a sense of organization combined with the ability to createB. the ability to adapt to the surroundingsC. a sense of reason coupled with a strong sense of practicalityD. a sense of reason25. According to the author the ability to distinguish between the true and the false is ______.A. endowed by nature to all creaturesB. endowed in equal measure to all personsC. more heavily present in some persons than in othersD. an unnatural, cultivated trait in all personsPassage 2Is language like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes,and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can pu t into sentences, and at four its language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man's brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern "toy-bear". And even more incredible is the young brain's ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.But speech has to be induced, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child's babbling, grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child's non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.26. The purpose of Frederick II’s experiment was____.A.to prove that children are born with the ability to speakB.to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speech.C.to find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching a child to speakD.to prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language27. The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably that ____.A.they are incapable of learning language rapidly.B.they are exposed to too much language at once.C.their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak.D.their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them.28. What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that ____ .A. he is born with the capacity to speak.B. he has a brain more complex than an animal's.C. he can produce his own sentences.D. he owes his speaking ability to good nursing.29. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?A.The faculty of speech is in born in man.B.Encouragement is any thing but essential to child in language learning.C.The child's brain is highly selective.D.Most children learn their language in definite stages.30. If a child starts to speak later than others, he will ____ in future.A. have a high IQB. be less intelligentC. be insensitive to verbal signalsD. not necessarily be backwardIII.
