IV. Reading Comprehension (20 points, 2 points each)

分得

Directions: In this part there are 2 passages. Each passage is followed by some

questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked

A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.

Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in

a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all

kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to

the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap

energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and

economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing

society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly,

nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power

station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The

nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the

anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel.

However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct

threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.

Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap source of

energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of

course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium in addition to the

10

/ 5

cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long

run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the

ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if

we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear

energy outlined above, nuclear energy programs are expanding. Such an expansion

assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it

is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments

on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of

energy other than nuclear power.

1.The advocates of nuclear energy claim that nuclear energy is __________.

A. extremely dangerous

B. vital in our society

C. exhaustible and expensive

D. primitive and cheap

2.Some people think that nuclear energy is essential because __________.

A. there is a serious shortage of manpower

B. it provides a perfect solution to mass unemployment

C. it is impossible to return to more primitive sources of fuel

D. it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing society

3.Which of the following statements does the writer support?

A. The demand for commercial products will not necessarily keep increasing.

B. Uranium is a good source of energy for economic and ecological reasons.

C. Nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power.

D. Greater safety provisions can bring about the expansion of nuclear energy

programs.

4.The function of the last sentence is to __________.

A. reflect the writer's attitude

B. advance the final argument

C. reverse previously expressed thoughts

D. show the disadvantages of nuclear power

5.What is the writer's attitude toward nuclear energy?

A. Indifferent.

B. Favorable.

C. Tolerant.

D. Critical.

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have

made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted?

To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat.

Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need to emit

a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what

sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes. Should you

break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.

If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3

seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But is one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”,

“I am interested in you,”or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.”This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.

6.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.

A.every glance has its significance

B.staring at a person is an expression of interest

C.a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable

D.a glance conveys more meaning than word

7.If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is _____.

A.to look into another passenger's eyes

B.to avoid eye contact with other passengers

C.to signal you are not a threat to anyone

10

/ 7

D.to keep a distance from other passengers

8.By “a dimming of the lights”(Para 1, Line 10) Erving Goffman means “______”.

A.closing one's eyes

B.turning off the lights

C.ceasing to glance at others

D.reducing gaze-time to the minimum

9.If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ______.

A. depressed

B. uneasy

C. curious

D. amused

10.The passage mainly discusses ______.

A.the limitations of eye contact

B.the exchange of ideas through eye contact

C.proper behavior in situations

D.the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication

得分Directions: Translate the following passage into English.

最好的评论家是每个人自己。无论某个学者对某一本书作了什么评价，无论他们如何众口一词地对它大加称赞，倘若它激不起你的兴趣，那么这本书就与你毫不相干。作为读者，你是你所读书籍价值的仲裁人。我们当中，没有一个人跟另外一个人的评价完全相像，至多有点相像而已。想当然地认为对我来说很有价值的书恰恰对你也很有价值，这是不合情理的。但是也确实有这样的书，在读完之后，我感到更加充实了，觉得要是没有读过它们，我就不会成为现在的我。没有什么人非要去读诗歌、小说以及其他归为“纯文学”的作品不可。读者读这些作品必然是为了获取快乐;然而谁又能说，使一位读者感到愉悦的书一定会让另一位读者喜欢呢?

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
