Reading ComprehensionPassage 1If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington, concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vocation from thinking.1.According to the passage, man's intelligence ___________.A.stays the same through the yearB.varies from day to dayC.changes with the seasonsD.changes from year to year2.Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have __________.A.a great effect on everyone's intelligenceB.some effect on most people's intelligenceC.some effect on a few people's intelligenceD.no effect on most people's intelligence3.Ellsworth Huntington's conclusion was based on ___________.A.variations of his own mental abilities from season to seasonB.the results of research done by himself and other scientists among peoples in differentclimates.C.detailed records of temperature changes in different placesD.detailed records of different ways of thinking among peoples in different climates4.Why does the author say summer is a good time to take a long vocation from thinking?A.Because a long vocation in summer helps to improve people's mental power.B.Because people tend to be less creative during summer.C.Because summer is a good time for outdoor activities.D.Because mental exertion in the summer heat taxes too much of people's energy.5.The central idea of this passage is ___________.A.man's mental abilities change from season to seasonB.man's intelligence varies from place to placeC.man should take a long vocation in summerD.if you want to do creative thinking, go to a cool placePassage 2When I was about six years old, my mother came home one day and found that I had collected half a dozen babies of the neighborhood ---- all of them too young to walk ---- and had them sitting before me on the floor while I was teaching them to wave their arms. When she asked the explanation of this, I informed her that it was my school of dance. She was amused, and placing herself at the piano, she began to play for me. This school continued and became very popular. Later on, little girls of the neighborhood came and their parents paid me a small sum to teach them. This was the beginning of what afterwards proved a very lucrative occupation.My mother took me to a famous ballet teacher, but his lesson did not please me. When the teacher told me to stand on my toes, I asked him why, and when he replied "Because it is beautiful," I said that it was ugly and against nature and after the third lesson I left his class, never to return. This stiff and commonplace gymnastics which he called dancing only disturbed my dream. I dreamed of a different dance. I did not know just what it would be, but I was feeling out towards an invisible world into which I guessed I might enter if I found the key.My art was already in me when I was a little girl, and it was owing to the heroic and adventurous spirit of my mother that it was not stifled. I believed that whatever the child is going to do in life should be begun when it is very young. I wonder how many parents realize that by the so-called education they are giving their children, they are only driving them into the commonplace, and depriving them of any chance of doing anything beautiful or original.6.When her mother came home one day, the narrator of the story ___________.A.was teaching half a dozen babies to danceB.was teaching half a dozen babies to walkC.was collecting babies of the neighborhoodD.was making babies of the neighborhood sit before her on the floor7.The attitude of the narrator's mother toward her school of dance was one of ___________.A. despiseB. contemptC. supportD. indifference8.The narrator thought that ballet was __________.A. the most graceful danceB. stiff, ugly and unnaturalC. a dance that she had dreamed ofD. an invisible world into which she guessed she might enter9.According to the narrator, she owed her success in art to ___________.A.the good education her parents gave herB.the support of her understanding and adventurous motherC.her inborn talentD.her ballet teacher10.The central idea of the passage is that __________.A.parents should try to discover the natural gift in their children and help to develop it whilethey are youngB.the so-called good education parents give their children only drives them into thecommonplace and deprives them of any chance of doing anything originalC.mothers should be heroic and adventurousD.ballet is no good as a form of danceIs vitamin E a cure for baldness? Will it cure acne（痤疮）? Can it relieve the pain of arthritis or prevent ulcers? These are only a few of the uses some people claim for vitamin E, but for many years no scientific proof has been possible for any of these claims.Vitamin E is not a rare substance by any means; it is present in vegetable oils and in grains, but in most diets the main source of vitamin E is leafy vegetables. Some vitamin E is lost in the cooking process, but not a really significant amount; a good balanced diet will, according to critics of “vitamin medicine”, s upply all the vitamin E anyone needs.In animals, shortage of vitamin E causes sudden and obvious changes. Chickens deprived of vitamin E develop muscular weakness. Calves whose diets contain inadequate amounts of vitamin E develop heart disease. Rats who are deprived of vitamin E develop liver degeneration. Nor do they grow as quickly as healthy rats.But in humans, with one exception, there are no symptoms of any kind associated with a vitamin E deficiency. Premature infants who lack proper amounts of vitamin E sometimes develop anemia（贫血）or skin rashes, but any symptoms caused by this deficiency in adult humans are either too insignificant to appear in normal tests or are simply nonexistent. A study in Elgin, Illinois, followed subjects maintained on low vitamin E diets for six years and could discover no effects of the diet on the subjects at all.Some studies, such as a study performed by three Canadian doctors in the late 1940s, have found vitamin E helpful in treating specific diseases, such as angina pectoris, a type of heart disease. But other studies have tried to duplicate these findings and failed. So there is no absolutely undeniable evidence that vitamin E will prevent or cure disease.Claims for the cosmetic use of vitamin E continue to multiply, however. Creams and ointments containing vitamin E appear on the market almost daily, to help remove skin blemishes（瑕疵）, to soften dry skin, to control skin wrinkles. Vitamin E is even used in deodorants（除臭剂）. Vitamin E itself is a preservative, an antio xidant, so the producers’ thinking is that vitamin E will prevent odor by preventing bacteria from oxidizing perspiration. But no study or medical proof ever appeared to prove any of these cosmetic claims completely.You can add vitamin E pills to your morning routine if you like, but unfortunately no one has ever been able to demonstrate conclusively any reason why you should.11. The main idea of this passage is that _____.A.taken as a preventive measure against disease, vitamin E can be harmfulB.although vitamin E has not been proved effective in fighting disease, it does have somecosmetic valueC.most of the medical and cosmetic claims about vitamin E are not supported by researchD.advertisements are attempting to mislead the public with their claims about vitamin E12. In animals, vitamin E deficiency is associated with all of the following disorders except_____.A. heart diseaseB. diabetesC. liver degenerationD. muscular weakness13. Which of the following conclusions is NOT supported by the passage?A.Vitamin E deficiency is less harmful to humans than to other animal.B.Vitamin E may be helpful in treating angina pectoris.C.Vitamin E is more useful cosmetically than medically.D.Vitamin E is fairly abundant in a balanced diet.14. The passage suggests that ______.A.little research has been done to protect consumersB.the public regards vitamin E as a wonder drugC.advertising is basically a business of deceptionD.some research that has been reported has been proved false15. As used in this passage, the word “degeneration” means _____.A. ailmentB. deteriorationC. devianceD. maturationIn the first year or so of web business, most of the action has revolved around efforts to tap the consumer market. More recently, as the web proved to be more than a fashion, companies have started to buy and sell products and services with one another. Such business-to-business sales make sense because business people typically know what product they are looking for.Nonetheless, many companies still hesitate to use the web because of doubts about its reliability. Businesses need to feel they can trust the pathway between them and the supplier. Some companies are limiting the risk by conducting online transactions only with established business partners who are given access to the company’s private Internet.Another major shift in the model for Internet commerce concerns the technology available for marketing. Until recently, Internet marketing activities have focused on strategies to pull customers into sites. In the past years, however, software companies have developed tools that allow companies to push information directly out to customers, transmitting marketing messages directly to targeted customers. Most notably, the Pointcast Network uses a screen saver to deliver a continually updated stream of news and advertisements to subscribers’ computer monitors. Subscribers can customize the information they want to receive and proceed directly to a company’s web site. Companies such a s Virtual Vineyards are already starting to use similar technologies to push messages to customers about special sales, product of offerings, or other events. But push technology has earned the contempt of many web users. Online culture thinks highly of the notion that the information flowing onto the screen comes there by specific request. Once commercial promotion begins to fill the screen uninvited, the distinction between the web and television fades. That’s a prospect that horrifies Net purist.But it is hardly inevitable that companies on the web will need to resort to push strategies to make money. The examples of Virtual Vineyards, , and other pioneers show that a web site selling the right kind of products with the right mix of interactivity, hospitality, and security will attract online customers. And the cost of computing power continues to free fall, which is a good sign for any enterprise setting up shop on silicon. People looking back 5 or 10 years from now may well wonder why so few companies took the online plunge.16. We learn from the beginning of the passage that web business _____.A.has been striving to expand its marketB.intended to follow a fanciful fashionC.tried but in vain to control the marketD.has been booming for one year or so17. Speaking of the online technology available for marketing, the author implies that_____.A.the technology is popular with many web usersB.businesses have faith in the reliability of online transactionC.there is a radical change in strategyD.it is accessibly limited to established partners18. In the view of Net purists, ______.A.there should be no market messages on online cultureB.money making should be given priority to on the webC.the web should be able to function as the television setD.there should be no online commercial information without request19. We learn from the last paragraph that ______.A.pushing information on the web is essential to Internet commerceB.interactivity, hospitality and security are important to online customersC.leading companies began to take the online plunge decades agoD.setting up shops in silicon is independent of the cost of computing power20. The word “transaction” in paragraph two can be best replaced by _____.A. interactivityB. activityC. dealD. dealingPassage 5Today’s trumpet is one of the world’s oldest instrument. It is really the result of many centuries of development. Although it looks nothing like its ancestors, there are many similarities. All trumpets are hollow tubes. They are b lown. And they all use the player’s lips to produce the basic sound.The trumpet developed as players and makers worked to improve its design, size, shape, material and method of construction. They wanted to create an instrument that would produce a beautiful and attractive tone, enable the performer to play all the notes of scale, extend the range higher and lower, make it possible to play more beautiful music, and, in general, be easier to play well. The remarkable way in which the modern trumpet achieves these goals is a measure of the success of all those who struggled to perfect this glorious instrument.The trumpet is actually the leading member of an entire family of related instruments. There are trumpets of seven different sizes and in several different keys. There are cornet, bugles, flugelhorns and a number of others that are all similar to the trumpet in the way they are made and played.The trumpet family is much more than a group of related instruments that can stir one with their sound, or narrow tubes of metal capable of producing a variety of musical sounds. It is a link to many different periods of history and to people of many cultures. From the use of trumpets in ancient religious ceremonies to the part they play in modern rock bands, the trumpet family of instruments has much to tell about civilization and its development.21. What is the best title of the passage?A.Science and the trumpetB.The trumpet and its ancestryC.Recordings of the trumpetD.How the trumpet is made22. It can be inferred from the passage that ________ is needed to make the trumpet work.A. long fingerB. air pressureC. keen eyesightD. daily cleaning23. Which of the following can be inferred about the first trumpet players?A.They were not able to pick up the trumpet.B.They could not play simple tune.C.They had difficulty improving upon the trumpet.D.They could not play all the notes of the scale.24. The word “one” in the first sentence of paragraph 4 could be best replaced by__________.A. the composerB. the listenerC. a familyD. an instrument25. The author believes that the trumpet is particularly important because it __________.A.can be used in rock bandsB.is a religious instrumentC.has historical significanceD.has a narrow rangePassage 6“Fingers were made before forks.” When a person gives up god manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from what is now known as Turkey brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English。
