IV：Reading Comprehension

(共15题，每题2分，共20分）

Passage One

Each time we produce a new English dictionary, our aim, is always the same: what can we do to make the dictionary more helpful for students of English? As a result of our research with students and discussions with teachers, we decided to focus on providing more examples for this English dictionary.

Examples help students to remember the word they have looked up in the dictionary because it is easier both to remember and to understand a word with a context. The examples also show that words are often used in many different contexts. For these reasons, we have included 40 percent more examples in this new book.

We edit all the examples to remove different words and to make sure they are easier to understand.

We very much hope this new book will be of use not only to the students of English but also to the teachers.

41. The aim of the author in producing this new dictionary is to _____.

A. correct mistakes in the old dictionary.

B. make it more helpful for students.

C. increase more number of the words.

D. add pictures and photos.

42. A word is easier to remember and understand if it is ______.

A. included in a word list

B. pronounced correctly

C. explained in English

D. used in a context.

43. What is special about this new dictionary?

A. It is small and cheap

B. It has a large vocabulary

C. It has 40% more examples

D. It is designed for students and teachers.

44 The purpose of removing difficult words in the examples is to ______.

A. make them easier to understand

B. provide for more useful words

C. introduce more contexts

D. include more examples

45. The passage is most probably taken from ______.

A. a letter to the editor

B. a comment on a novel

C. an introduction to a dictionary

D. a news-report in the newspaper

Passage Two

Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem—how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bubs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’s six build ings comfortable.

Some parts of most modern buildings—theaters and offices as well as classrooms are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recove ry.”A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in others.

Along the way, pit has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hardworking, overweight male genius.

46. Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it ______.

A. was difficult to collect

B. came in a variety of forms

C. was difficult to get rid of

D. tended to be absorbed by physical objects
