Reading Comprehension (30 points)Directions:In this part there are three passages followed by questions, each with four suggested answers. Choose the ONE you think is the best answer, and put your answers down on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.51. People can experience happiness if they .A. always think of the past and regret itB. value the presentC. are no longer youngD. become old and have much experience52. When people were young, they used to .A. be in charge of many businessesB. have few things to think about and take onC. look after their younger sisters and brothersD. face a lot of difficulties53. The pains of children lie in the fact that .A. no one helps them make right decisionsB. they are often beaten by their parentsC. they can not be accepted and praised by othersD. they are not allowed to do what they like to do54. Children are usually happy because .A. old people lose interest in themB. they are free to do wrongC. they are familiar with everything going on around themD. things are new to them55. Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy?A. Hard work.B. Being free from troubles.C. Wealth.D. Health.Passage 2The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese king and an English princess.Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea, and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him —Jewish astronomers, Italian and Spanish Sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew how to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it.Henry's goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel, which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed thecarrack, which was a slower ship, but one that was capable of carrying more cargo.The world owes credit to Prince Henry for the development of craft that made oceanic exploration possible. He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.56. Henry the Navigator was a member of the royal family of .A. EnglandB. SpainC. ItalyD. Portugal57.

He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power.Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.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 ten horsepower engine.61.
