II. Reading Comprehension (45 points)
Directions:There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each question there are 4 choices marked A), B), C), and D). Choose the ONE answer that best completes each sentence.
Passage 1
Writing, as a career, offers a range of personal rewards. It enables people to express themselves, as well as to entertain, inform, and influence others. With only a few tools—paper, a typewriter, a pencil, and often a personal computer—a writer can have an impact on the surrounding world. But most authors spend hundreds of hours perfecting their skills before they can sell any of their works.
A person who wants to be a writer should set aside some time to write every day. Learning to express ideas clearly and effectively in writing takes a great deal of practice. Many experienced writers keep a journal. A journal can serve as a storehouse for information, observations, and ideas. It can also be a place to develop new material.
Beginning writers should read many kinds of writing encountered every day and pay special attention to what they find most interesting. News items, feature stories, textbooks, cookbooks, repair manuals, poems, essays, short stories, novels, and plays differ in their methods of organizing and presenting material. A beginning writer who reads widely and carefully will develop an appreciation of different writing approaches and styles. In time, the writer can acquire a more flexible approach to his or her own work.
Successful authors write about subjects they know and understand. They sometimes take weeks or months revising or refining an article, poem, or story. Beginning writers usually benefit from finding one or more friendly critics who will read their work and discuss its strengths and weaknesses with them.
High schools and colleges offer many learning opportunities for young writers. Composition and literature courses can be helpful. Creative writing and journalism courses may further assist a beginning writer in developing his or her skills. Many students work on literary magazines,
newspapers, or yearbooks published by their schools. They may write stories, edit articles, or gain other valuable experience.
21. How important is writing according to this passage?
A. People learn a lot from writing.
B. We are entertained with different writings.
C. Writing can influence the surrounding world.
D. Books can be an important part of an industry.
22. What does a journal NOT help to provide?
A. Service.
B. Ideas.
C.
Observations. D. Information.
23. What should a beginning writer do to enjoy different writing styles?
A. Reading different kinds of news items.
B. Studying different writing methods.
C. Learning the ways to present materials.
D. Carefully reading as much as possible.
24. Which of the following should a beginning writer avoid in order to improve his or her writing?
A. Developing new subjects.
B. Finding helpful critics.
C. Attending writing courses.
D. Doing editing work.
25. In developing students’ writing ability, which of the following is not mentioned by the author?
A. They can take composition and literature courses.
B. They can take writing and journalism courses.
C. They may work on literary magazines, newspapers, or yearbooks published by
their schools.
D. They may write stories or edit articles for professional journals.
Passage 2
The first day of university our professor introduced a new student who appears to be very different from the rest of us. That is Rose, an eighty-seven-year-old lady who always wore a big smile on her face.
“Why are you in college at this age?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
Over the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students. She was living it up!
At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. She was introduced and stepped up to the stage.
As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her speech cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the speaker and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m a bit nervous. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me!”
As we laughed Rose cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop laughing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!
Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didn’t do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.
Finally, there is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty. This is growing old, by doing nothing to your life. The idea of growing up is to always find opportunity to change.”
At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful advice to your friends and family:
Remember, we cannot avoid growing old, but we can choose our own ways to grow up.
26. Why was Rose in college?
A. Because she always wanted to have a college degree.
B. Because she thought college was fun and she could make many friends.
C. Because she has never gone to a college.
D. Because she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students.
27. According to para. 3, how did Rose live her college life?
A. She always dressed up and never attend any class.
B. She was quiet and didn’t want to make any friends.
C. She was easygoing and made lots of friends.
D. She wasn’t making the best out of her college life.
28. How did she react when she dropped her speech note at the football banquet?
A. She got very nervous and stopped speaking.
B. She was drunk with too much whiskey.
C. She had to give up beer for this mistake.
D. She continued her speech with a joke.
29. What does Rose mean by “so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it”?
A. They are killed by them walking around.
B. They are “dead” because they don’t have any dreams.
C. They are “dead” because are they are not satisfied with their life.
D. They are “dead” because they don’t know anything.
30. According to Rose, which one of the following is correct about the difference between “growing old” and “growing up”?
A. Both mean the aging process where a child becomes a grown-up.
B. Both mean lots of changes.
C. “Growing old” is sad, but “growing up” is happy.
D. “Growing old” is natural, but “growing up” is something we can control.
Passage 3
Lovebirds. That’s what all our friends called us when we first married.
I guess Don and I deserved it. Money was tight. Sometimes we’d have to save up days just for an ice cream cone. Still, our tiny apartment seemed like paradise. Love does that, you know.
The more we heard the term “lovebirds”, the more we thought about birds. One day we started saving up for a couple of lovebirds of our own. We knew we couldn’t afford to buy both birds and a nice cage, so in his spare moments, Don made the cage himself.
We put our cage in front of a shaded window. Then we waited until our little saving was full of bills and spare change. With that money we “adopted” a pair of canaries from our local pet store, a male and a female, and named them Sunshine and Snowball.
Time passed, and when our young lovebirds finally seemed mature enough to start a family of their own, we went ahead and prepared a nest area and lots of nesting material for them. Snowball was a very exacting wife in designing and decorating their nest just so, while Sunshine, filled with love, bent over backward to put everything just where she ordered.
Then one day an egg appeared. How they sang! And a few weeks later when a tiny chick hatched, their happiness seemed to know no bounds. I don’t know how it happened, but that baby bird was bright orange. So right off we named him Punkinhead.
The sunny days passed. How proud all of us were when our baby bird ran out of the nest onto a real grown-up perch!
Then one day, Punkinhead suddenly fell head down to the bottom of the cage. The tiny orange bird just lay there, both parents and I rushed to his rescue.
But he was dead. Just like that. Whether he’d had a heart attack before he fell or broke his neck in the fall, I’ll never know. But Punkinhead was gone.
The mother bird refused to let either Sunshine or me get near that little body. Instead of the joyful melodies I usually heard from Snowball, now she gave only the most heartbreaking cries and moans. Her heart, joy and will seemed completely melted by her sorrow.
Poor Sunshine didn’t know what to do. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation, but she refused to move. Instead, over and over she kept trying to wake up her beloved child.
Finally Sunshine seemed to work out a plan. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in her place. Then each time she left, he’d quietly place one piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body. Just one. But in a few days, piece by piece, it was completely covered over.
At first Snowball seemed panic when she looked around, but she didn’t try to uncover the chick. Instead, she flew up to her normal place and stayed there. Then I was able to quietly reach in and remove the little body.
After that, Sunshine spent all his time comforting Snowball. Eventually she started making normal sounds, and then one day, her sorrow finally melted and she sang again. I don’t know if Snowball ever realized the quiet labor of love and healing Sunshine had done for her. But they remained devoted for as long as they both lived. Love does that, you know.
31.The title of the passage is “When Snowball Melted”. What does the title mean?
A. The increasing temperature made the snowball melt.
B. The bird called Snowball was too sad for her kid’s death so she became weaker and weaker.
C. The grief born by the bird called Snowball for the death of her kid was dissolved by her husband’s love.
D. The bird called Snowball was loved by her husband so it seemed like a snowball was melted.
32. Why did “our tiny apartment seemed like paradise” even though we were poor?
A. Because we love our tiny apartment.
B. Because the tiny apartment housed a couple in love.
C. Because we kept two birds in love in the tiny apartment.
D. Because our tiny apartment was clean and cozy.
33. In paragraph 4, why does the author use “‘adopted’ a pair of canaries from our local pet store” instead of the word “buy”?
A. “Adopted” is used here to show that the birds are deserted by the store so the couple adopted them.
B. “Adopted” is used here to show the couple’s love for the birds, while the word “buy”seemed to be cold and emotionless.
C. “Adopted” is used here to show that nobody wanted the birds so the couple were the only one who bought them.
D. there is no special reason why “adopted” is used here.
34. What is the cause of Punkinhead’s death?
A. He’d had a heart attack before he fell.
B. He broke his neck in the fall.
C. He was attacked by a cat.
D. the cause of Punkinhead’s death is unknown.
35. Which of the following things were NOT what Sunshine did to comfort Snowball after the death of their kid?
A. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation.
B. He flew up to her normal place and stayed there.
C. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in her place.
D. each time she left, he’d quietly place one piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body.
Passage 4
They say there are three apples that changed the world.
The first apple belongs to Adam, from the Garden of Eden. Yes, according to Christians, it was Adam’s apple that first changed humankind — the act of man disobeying to higher power that sets us apart by God. Adam’s story teaches us the importance of submission.
We are becoming more self-sustained and forget the cores of life — love, joy and peace. Families, friends and our beloved ones are often neglected when we become self-centered in our jobs and responsibilities. We need to be reminded to love and be loved, stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives.
The second most influential apple didn’t come until the 15th Century. A man sat under the famous apple tree and the universe-consigned apple fell right on his head, leading him to the famous law of universal gravitation.
Sir Isaac Newton’s apple changed the world of science as well as mathematics by stating that “every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of centers for the two objects...” and so on.
The point here is, Newton’s apple has not only inspired him to come up with the law of gravitation, but also encouraged human to dream big and to explore the world with imaginations. Many other great people arose from Newton’s great works and findings.
Last but bot least, it is of course Steve Jobs’ Apple that has put the world on a different pace, in terms of his innovations in consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers.
Jobs’ success stories took up each corner of Google’s page after he passed away. The highlight is none other than his return to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997. When he tried to lure John Sculley as Apple’s CEO, he asked,”Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want to change the world?”
That obviously worked out pretty well. Yet, it was the passion towards innovation that Jobs has injected into his career that put him onto the top of the world. His life has definitely inspired many to contribute to the society through creativity.
So here are three apples that changed our lives — three men at three totally different time of the history. How’s your apple coming along?
36. What are NOT the cores of life according to the text?
A. faith
B. joy
C. peace
D. love
37. Who are the ones we often neglected when we become self-centered in our jobs
and responsibilities?
A. Families.
B.Friends.
C. Our beloved
ones. D. A, B and C
38. Which of the following statement are NOT one of the influences brought by Newton’s apple?
A. Newton’s apple inspired Newton to come up with the law of gravitation.
B. Newton’s apple reminded human to love and be loved, stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives.
C. Newton’s apple encouraged human to dream big.
D. Newton’s apple encouraged human to explore the world with imagination.
39 Steve Jobs’ innovations are in the following fields but
A. Consumer electronics.
B. Computer software.
C. Personal computer.
D. Telecommunication.
40. According to the author, what put Steve Jobs onto the top of the world?
A. His great success in the Apple products.
B. He returned to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997.
C. His passion towards innovation in his
career.
D. He changed the world.

The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (暗淡的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a

World of the Future Scientists think that wonderful things may come true in the future. Future means a time that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won't come tree, we think, until a long time from now. Some, of course, may never come true--but who knows for sure? They may. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? A world underground The green utopia (an ideally perfect place) underground is going to help us regain a more harmonious relationship between the often opposing sides of large-scale development and our ecosystem. The city may be called Alice City, from Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland, which offers a wonderful world that is almost as fantastical as that was described in the book. A large clear dome (圆顶), within an area of open parkland, leads into a multi-leveled structured metropolis of underground offices, housing, transportation and public areas. There will be everything to make the city as self-sufficient as possible including shopping malls, theatres and sports complexes in addition to facilities (contained in a separate structure) for power generation, heating and waste recycling. Apart from offering an almost limitless space for development, such underground development has many more attractive ecological advantages over traditional forms of housing. It is less disturbing than high rise development and therefore favorable in environmentally sensitive areas. Land above the complex can be set aside for parkland and recreational use. In towns or cities where pollution levels are high, air can be filtered through air pipes in the roof of an underground housing or industrial complex. A world underwater At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine starts to push. Down slides the submarine--like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper under the water. Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an air-plane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that--hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! A world in space Let's go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way-up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. A new world on the Earth Let's go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls--and boys, too--may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers --machines that answer questions and do arithmetic faster than you can blink. Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer. Imagine a race between them! There may be telepathy (心灵感应) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! Robots There will be other surprises in the future. How would you like to have a robot playmate? Having robot playmates may not be-so much fun as it seems. But maybe a boy with a wrench (扳手) and a screwdriver can fix the robot so that it won't be too perfect! Food What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial --made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. You don't think that ice-cream or cake or candy or even bread and potatoes made out of these things will taste very good? You may be wrong. These artificial things will be blended so skillfully by food chemists that the food of the future probably will be delicious. It probably will also be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. A longer life Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last longer. They probably will find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. TV Are you wondering whether there'll be television in the future? There'll almost certainly be wonderful programs. Television screens probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you. Highways What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving by car will be as safe as being at home. Weather control But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won't have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live. But the time you axe living in now was also "a wonderful future" to the people who lived 100 years ago. 1. The underground city would get its name from a book called Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland. A. Y B. N C. NG 2. The multi-leveled structure underground would include everything that is necessary to a city, from offices, shopping malls to power and heating system. A. Y B. N C. NG
