Part ⅡReading Comprehension

Directions:There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or Unfinished statemenets.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer

Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage1

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soon become lost in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realise you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep some forgotten appointment --without buying a book, of

course.

This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting:"Can I help you, sir?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. But when he has led you there, the assistant should leave politely and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.

31. The best title for this passage may be.

A. The Attraction of Bookshops

B. How To Spend Your Time

C. Bookshops and Their assistants

D. Buying Books

32. According to the author, the best way to escape the realities of everyday life is.

A.to chat with assistants in a bookshop

B.to take a walk in the streets

C.to make some appointment in a bookshop

D.to stay reading books of various kinds in a bookshop

33. In a good bookshop,______.

A.all the books there are interesting

B.you are satisfied

C.you can find shelter from a shower

D.you n eed to buy something you don’t want

34.An assistant in a bookshop helps you_____.

A.on your entering the shop

B.just before you finish reading

C.only when you want to find out where q particular section is

D.when you are reading

35.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?

A.Time spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable only for book-lovers.

B.There are only a few places where it is possible to escape the realities of life.

C.People go to bookshops only to buy books.

D.A book with an attractive design must be an interesting one.

Passage 2

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas.(of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75miles per hour or more that give them hurricane(飓风) status, and several usually make their way to the coast.) There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.

The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds——even thousands——of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat that is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases the young hurricane begins to turn in a counter-clockwise motion.

The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12-inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea——the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.

36.When is a storm considered to be a hurricane?

A.When it is accompanied by wind.

B.When it is accompanied by both wind and rain.

C.When its circling winds move at 75 miles per hour or even more.

D.When the circling winds bring damages.

37.The underlined ―innocent aircling disturbances‖ in Paragraph 2 means

A.innocent people causing small disturbances.

B.innocent people causing big disturbances

C.damaging circling winds

D.harmless circling winds.

38.The underlined ―it‖ in ―moves upward through it ― in Paragraph2 refers to

A. a disturbance

B.moist air

C.trade wind

D. water

39.Srong winds are produced becaused of

A.the young hurricane

B. the heat generated along with rain

C.a disturbance

D.moist air

40.Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

A.The Hurricane – its harms and benefits

B.The origin and effects of hurricane

C.The hurricane and its great energy

D.The disasters caused by hurricanes

Passage 3

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they procide him with wood and other products;they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts and floods.

Unfortunaterly, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagemess to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers ,only to find that without them he has lost the best friends he had.

Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships,with which to gain itself an empire.(I gained the empire but,without its tree, its soil became hard and poor.When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by floods and starvation.)

Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade the cillager to see this. The villager wants wood to cook his food with;and he can earn money by making charcoal or selling wood to the townsman.He is usually too lazy or too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the govermment has a good system of control,or can deucate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that the villagers’ sons and grandsons have fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees their roots break the soil up------allowing the rain to sink in------and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing floods and carrying away with it the rich topsoil, in which crops grow so well. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing remains but a worthless desert.

41. What is the most important function of trees?

A. Providing fuel.

B. Offering shade.

C. Preventing natural disasters.

D. Providing charcoal.

42. What eventually happened to the rich, powerful country 2000years ago?

A. Its people died of hanger.

B. It fell to pieces.

C. It became a giant empire.

D. It built many ships with wood.

43. It is implied in the passage that the villager__________.

A. wants a plentiful supply of trees for their life

B. wants fire wood to cook their meals and warm themselves

C. wants to get money so that they can be rich

D. is not aware of the importance of environmental protection

44. One of the roles of trees is to , according to the passage.

A. decorate nature

B. destroy an empire

C. harden soil

D. keep soil in position

45. What is the passage mainly concerned with?

A. The three benefits provided by trees.

B. Trees and soil conservation.

C. The various uses of trees.

D. The different attitudes of the government and the villagers toward trees.

Passage 4

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:

Our boat floated on, between walls of forest too thick to allow us a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must from time to time be passing through chains of hills which crossed the jungle plains. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed, where the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures, and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance only slowly, cutting one’s way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reach the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.

We lived on fish, caught with a home-made net of string (we had no hooks), and any fruit and nuts we could pick up out of the water. As we had no fire, we had to eat everything, including the fish,raw.I had never tasted raw fish before,and I must say I did not much enjoy the experience:perhaps sea-fish which do not live in the mud are less tasteless.After rating my raw fish,I lay back and dreamed of such things as fried chicken and rice,and ice-cream.In the never ending damp heat of the jungle,ice-cream was aparticularly frequent dream.

As for water,there was a choice:we could drink the muddy river water,or die of thirst.We drank the water.(Men who have just escaped what had appreared to be certain death lose all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water.)In fact,none of us suffered from any illness as a result.

One day we passed another village,but fortunately nobody saw us.We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time:we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.

46.It can be inferred from the passage that they had been in.

A.an untnhabited area

49.According to the author,__________.

B.Sea fish tasted worse than fish in muddy water

C.Sea fish in muddy water were tasteless

D.Sea fish in muddy water were less tasteless
