II. Reading Comprehension

Passage One

Taking pictures in fun,and taking good ones is not difficult if you follow a few simple rules.

Before you snap (快拍)a picture, thinking about it, Be sure that you are close enough to subject. A pretty face against a clear background (背景),for example, makes a good picture. But a distant figure lost among trees and clouds lacks interest. In a landscape (风景)scene , try to keep at least two thirds of the picture below the line where the ground meets the sky ,for a sky- scene, keep at least two thirds of the picture above that line.

Study pictures in newspapers and books. Try to see why some are better than others. Use what you learn to improve your own pictures.

1.This passage gives us some ____.

(A)、reasons for taking good pictures

(B)、ideas of some funny hobbies

(C)、advice o n taking good pictures

(D)、difference of the pictures taken outdoors and indoors

2.The writer talks mostly about pictures taken____.

3. In the first example, the subject is probably a _____.

(A)、building (B)、tree (C)、horse (D)、girl

5. You can improve your pictures by____.

(A)、snapping them as quickly as you can

(B)、thinking about them before you take them

(C)、studying pictures in newspapers and books

(D)、standing closely to your subject

Passage Two

Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even

more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell---a signal (信号) causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.

Commun ication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn’t trees have ways of sending message?

6. It can be concluded from the passage that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that ______.

A. are lying on the ground

B. have an unpleasant taste

C. bees don’t like

D. have an unfamiliar shape

7. The willow tree described in the passage protected itself by ______.

A. growing more branches

B. communicating with birds and bees

C. changing its leaf chemistry

D. shaking caterpillars off

8. According to the passage, the willow tree was able to communicate with other trees b

y ______.

A. waving its branches

B. giving off a special smell

C. dropping its leaves

D. changing the color of its trunk

9. According to this passage, bees communicate by ______.

A. making special movement

B. touching one another

C. smelling one another

D. making unusual sound

10. The author believes that the incident described in the passage ______.

A. cannot be taken seriously

B. should no longer be permitted

C. must be checked more thoroughly

D. seems completely reasonable

Passage Three

Some people have very good memories and can easily learn quite a long paragraph by heart. But they often forget them almost as quickly as they learn them. There are other people who can only remember things when they have said them over and over, but when they do know them they don't forget them.

The human mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photographs not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear or smell. There is much to do before the photograph is finished and ready to show to our friends. In the same way, there is much work to be done before we can make a picture remain forever in the mind.

11. Some people can easily learn things but they __________ them easily, too.

A. forget

B. realize

C. remember

D. fail

12. Other people can remember things __________ when they have said them over and over.

A. firmly

B. quickly

C. slowly

D. easily

13. The man's mind is something like a __________.

D. camera

14. Our mind can __________ things.

A. take

B. remind

C. remember

15. There is much work to be done __________ we remember something forever.

A. after

D. before

Passage Four

The water level of oceans rises and falls alternatively (交替) twice a day. This movement of water is galled the tide. Tides are caused by the pull of the sun and the moon on the earth's surface; since the moon is much closer, it affects tides more than the sun. When the moon is directly overhead, it actually pulls on the water that is below it. This causes the water level to rise because the water is pulled away from the earth. As the moon disappears over the horizon, the pull lessens and the water level settles back towards the ocean bottom.

When the water reaches its highest level, we have high tide. And when the water reaches its lowest level, we have low tide. From its lowest point, the water rises gradually for about six hours until it reaches low tide. Then the cycle begins again.

16. The water level of the oceans rises and falls ______.

A. often

B. often in a year

C. twice

D. twice a day

17. What causes tide?

A. The pull of the sun and the moon.

B. The heat of the sun.

C. The shape of the moon.

D. The light of the moon.

18. The water level of an ocean rises ______.

A. when the moon is directly over the water

B. when the moon disappears over the horizon

C. when there is no tide

D. when there is a low tide

19. The water level of an ocean falls ______.

A. when there is a low tide

B. when the water is pulled away from the earth

C. when the moon disappears over the horizon

D. when water no longer moves

20. We have low tide___________________________.

A. when water reaches its highest level

B. when water stops

C. when water no longer moves

D. when water reaches its lowest level

Passage Five

Cars are lots of fun, but they would also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.

It’s always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you’re in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard(滑板)and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won’t. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.

Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won’t go flying. It will stay safely on the skateboard.

V olvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1949. Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belt could even hurt the people who wear them.

Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly-in less than second-to keep the people inside safe.

21. We have to be careful in driving a car mainly because it could be ___________.

(A)、little fun (B)、a pleasure (C)、a lot of trouble (D)、a great danger

22. The example of an egg on a skateboard is used to show that ___________.

(A)、eggs breaks easily on a moving skateboard

(B)、cars should not be stopped suddenly

(C)、seat belts are important to safety

(D)、driving is a dangerous act

23. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

(A)、People with seat belts tied will always be safe in cars.

(B)、Volvo was the first carmaker to use seat belts in cars.

(C)、Air bags will come out before the cars hit something.

(D)、All cars have air bags in front of the seats.

24. According to the passage, air bags are another device that ____________.

(A)、adds safety to car driving (B)、is going to replace seat belts

(C)、comes out slowly to function (D)、prevents cars from running too fast

25. The best title for this passage is ___________.

(A)、Buy a V olvo with Air bags (B)、Make a Car Safe Inside

(C)、Fasten Your Seat Belts (D)、Add Air Bags to Cars

III. Cloze (10%)

大学英语3第一单元试题(含答案)

Online HomeWork_U1B3 I. Reading Comprehension Section A Fast Reading Back in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. Just to keep food on the table for the family members, the father worked almost eighteen hours a day. Two of Albrecht Durer the Elder’s children, Albrecht and Albert, wanted to pursue talent for art, but they knew that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the academy. After many discussions, the two boys decided to toss a coin. The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy. Then, when that brother who won the coin toss completed his studies, he would support the other brother at the academy, either with the sales of his artwork or, if necessary, also by laboring in the mines. They tossed a coin after coming back from church on a Sunday morning. Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and financed his brother, whose work at the academy was an almost immediate sensation. Albrecht’s etchings (版画), woodcuts (木刻画) and oils were far better than those of most of his professors, and by the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn considerable fees for his commissioned works. When Albrecht Durer returned to his village, the family held a big dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s homecoming. After the meal, Albrecht rose to drink a toast to his beloved brother for the sacrifice that had enabled Albrecht to fulfill his ambition. He said, “Albert, now it is your turn to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you.” Albert rose and glanced down the long table at the faces he loved, and said softly, “No, brother. Look what four years in the mines have done to my hands! The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less make delicate lines on canvas (画布) with a brush.” By now, Albrecht Durer’s hundreds of masterful portraits, sketches and woodcuts hang in every great museum in the world, but most people are familiar with only one of Albrecht Durer’s works. More than merely being familiar with it, you very well may have a reproduction hanging in your home or office. To pay homage to Albert, Albrecht Durer drew his brother’s hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his drawing “Hands,” but the entire world immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and named it “The Praying Hands.” Statements based on the passage: T 1. The father of Durer family could not afford any child’s study at the academy. F 2. Albrecht and Albert had to toss a coin to decide who should go to the academy, because one of them had to stay at home and help their father. F 3. Before deciding to toss a coin, Albrecht and Albert had many discussions with their father. T 4. Albrecht achieved great success at the academy, and his works were even better than most of his professors’. F 5. Albrecht decided to support Albert’s study at the academy with the sales of his artwork and by laboring in the mines. F 6. Albert said it was too late for him to go to the academy because he was no longer interested in art after working in the mines for many years. F 7. Although Albrecht had many masterful portraits, only one of them has received popular recognition. T 8. Among Albrecht’s works, “Hands” is the one which is reproduced most. T 9. Albrecht created “Hands” in order to show respect and honor for his brother Albert. F 10. People renamed Albrecht’s drawing “The Praying Hands” because they just wanted to pay homage to his great achievement. Section B Passage Reading Passage 1 Valentine’s Day probably has its origin in the ancient Roman celebration called Lupercalia(牧神节). It was celebrated on February 15. In the Roman calendar February was in the spring. The celebration honored the gods Lupercus and Faunus as well as the twin brothers Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. As part of the ceremony the priests paired up young men and women. The girls’ names were placed in a box and each boy drew a girl’s name. The couple was paired then until the next Lupercalia. In 260 AD the emperor Claudius II, called Claudius the Cruel, decided that young soldiers would only be distracted by marriage and so ordered that young men may not marry. Valentinus (Valentine), a Christian priest, defied the emperor and got married in secret. He was caught and executed on February 14, the eve of Lupercalia. His name became associated with young love forever after. In 496, Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honor him as Saint Valentine and it has been St. Valentine’s Day ever since. In the Middle Ages some of the customs of the Lupercalia still persisted in spite of the attempts of the Church to put an end to these non-Christian customs and Christianize the holiday. Both men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be. They would wear the names on their sleeves for a week. Today we still sometimes “wear our hearts on our sleeves” when we cannot conceal our feelings. In the 1600s, it became common to give flowers, particularly the rose, as a sign of love as the “language of flowers”. This came to Europe from Turkey. The color and placement of the rose held a special significance--a red rose, for example, meant beauty. Flowers have been part of Valentine’s Day ever since. D 11. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. The custom of Valentine’s Day. B. A story about how Valentinus defied the emperor. C. The relationship between marriage and religion. D. The origin of Valentine’s Day. B 12. Young soldiers were not allowed to marry because the emperor was afraid that ______. A. they would associate with St. Valentine B. they wouldn’t concentrate on their job C. they would defy the emperor’s order D. they were too young to marry
