Reading ComprehensionSection A:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some true-false questions. Decide whether each of them is true (T) or false (F).Passage 1In the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the "Lusitania", which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $300,000 or more. The ship, lying on the sea-bed has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.51. Divers try to bring up metals because some kinds of them are worth a lot of money.52. Now divers still search for valuable things and try to bring to the earth surface the ships themselves.53. John Light hopes he may be able to sell the whole ship of “Lusitania” for more than $1.5 million.54. The ship “Lusitania” sank off the southwestern coast ofIreland with a lot of people drowned.55. In the past, divers hoped to bring up everything of a sunken ship except metals.Passage 2More and more people today are realizing the importance of regular physical exercise. In the past, work for most people involved manual labor in the fresh open air of the fields. However, nowadays an increasing number of people are employed in offices or factories. Their daily work does not provide them with the amount of exercise theirbodies need. Therefore, they have come to spend part of their free time doing regular physical exercise.There are many different forms of exercise to suit different tastes. For example, those who enjoy competitive sports may take up ball games. Those who prefer to exercise alone can have a run or take a walk in the morning or in the evening. Besides, people can go swimming in summer and go skating in winter. In short, no matter what their interests are, people can always find one or more sports that are suitable to them.However, the form of physical exercise must be chosen carefully. More harm than good will result if peoplechoose the wrong form of exercise. For the aged, Qigong or Tai Ji Quan will suit them better than competitive sports. Those who havelittle spare time may have a regular run in the morning. Only if the kind of exercise is chosen properly and performed regularly, will it benefit people’s health, work and study.56. Nowadays, more people realize the importance of physical exercise.57. It is unnecessary to take some exercise every day.58. People who enjoy competitive sports may take up basketball or football.59. Physical exercise can do more harm than good to people because they will feel tired after it.60.People can always find one or more sports that benefit their health, work and study.IV.
