Part V Reading Comprehension (40 points,2 points each)

Directions : There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage 1 Every animal is a living radiator — heat formed in its cells is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounce of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster. The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouse-like shrew is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the hummingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant. There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighed only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.

1. The passage says that every animal is a living radiator because it_____. A. produces heat in its body cells B. burns fuel to produce heat C. sends out heat from its bodies D. requires oxygen to produce heat

2. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by_____. A. restoring heat continually B. storing heat in their body cells C. regulating the amount of heat produced D. regulating the amount of heat given off

3. The amount of oxygen an animal uses depends on_____. A. how much it weighs B. what food it eats C. what it is like D. how long it lives

4. An animal weighing less than grams would starve because it would not be able to _____. A. get enough oxygen B. maintain its body temperature C. burn its food fast enough D. eat fast enough to supply fuel

5. What is implied but not stated in the passage

A. There is no limit as to how large a warm-blooded animal can be.

B. The hummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded creature.

C. Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.

D. The hummingbird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.

Passage 2

California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, short of arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.

People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and the high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.

Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska) is in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska). Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.

California has deep, clear mountain lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; they are dried-up lakebeds.

In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined.

6. Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States

A. Lake Tulainyo.

B. Mojave Desert.

C. Death Valley.

D. The Salton Sea.

7. Where is the highest point in the United States located

A. Lake Tahoe.

B. Sierra Nevada.

C. Mount Whitney.

D. Alaska.

8. How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney

A. About 3 miles.

B. Only 100 miles.

C. 282 feet.

D. 14 494 feet.

9. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about

100 miles of Bakersfield

A. The Pacific Ocean.

B. San Joaquin Valley.

C. Mojave Desert.

D. Oregon and Washington.

10. Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contrast

A. The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.

B. It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having to travel long distance.

C. Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within a radius of about 100 miles.

D. Owens Lake, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.

Passage 3

Children are a relatively modern invention. Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist. In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.

Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is alway s Kids’ Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kid’s body is our physical ideal. In Kid’s Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.

We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy (颠倒) situation has come about at least in part because, unlike the rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrant the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the farther, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier, the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the farther was eve r inheriting from his son. Kids’ Country may be the inevitable result.

Kids’ Country is not all bad. American is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids’ Country. We not only wear kids’ clothes and eat kids’ food; we dream Kids’dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boy’s game to go to the moon.

If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups (俯卧撑) against eternity.

11. The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that _______.

A. adults showed less concern for children than we do now

B. adults were smaller and thinner at that time, but they still had a lot of work to do

C. children looked and acted like adults at that time

D. children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time

12. In the third paragraph, the Old Country is contrasted with America _______.

A. to show differences in family size

B. to show differences in attitudes towards family relations

C. to sow two kinds of geography

D. to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations

13. Going to the moon is an example of _______.

A. America’s d reams and creativity

B. America’s childish and queer behavior

C. why America hasn’t grown up

D. why America is considered the greatest country in the world

14. According to the passage, which of the following is true

A. It is very difficult for the middle-aged to live in America.

B. America is Kids’ Country because the majority of its people are young and vigorous.

C. Kids’ Country was taking shape in America when immigrants poured into the country

D. America is more of Kids’ Country than any other c ountries in the world.

15. By saying “condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging doing push-ups

against eternity,” the author means that _______.

A. she thinks people shouldn’t be so concerned about physical fitness

B. she feels too old and tired to do such hard exercise

C. American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearance

D. what happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soon

Passage 4

By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.

Most people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.

All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.

The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison.

Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.

16. Which of the following statements is NOT true

A. The adder is the only poisonous snake in Britain.

B. In Scotland there are no other snakes except the adder.

C. Snake bites seem more dangerous than they actually are.

D. People’s attempts at emergency treatment are utterly unnecessary.

17. Adders are most likely to be found _______.

A. in wilder parts of Britain and Ireland

B. in Scotland and nowhere else

C. on uncultivated land throughout Britain

D. in shady fields in England

18. We are told that British snakes are _____.

A. afraid of human beings

B. poisonous including the adder

C. dangerous except the adder

D. friendly towards human beings

19. When will the adder not attack you

A. When you try to catch it.

B. When you are some distance away from it.

C. When you happen to step on it.

D. When you try to pick it up.

20. If an adder hears you coming, it will usually ______.

A. attack you immediately

B. disappear very quickly

C. wait to frighten you

D. move out of the way

B. Drunken Drivers.

C. Drunken Pedestrian Accidents.

D. A Severe Highway Safety Problem.

商务英语阅读试题Part 3

Part III Reading comprehension Passage 1 Richard Brasher, commercial director of Tesco?s non-food operations, is in the frame for the top job at Boots, where chief executive Steve Russell is to step down. Brasher is understood to be on a shortlist that includes Stuart Rose, the former boss of retailing group Arcadia, the Terry Duddy, chief executive of catalogue retailer Argos. Brasher is viewed as a high-flier within Tesco and is highly rated by the group?s chief executive, Terry Leahy. Boots has been looking for a chief executive and a new chairman since the middle of December, when its current chairman, John McGrath, admitted that the group had not acted fast enough to address strategic issues that were facing it. McGrath is due to step down at the end of his contract in the summer, after overseeing the search for a new chief executive. Boots has been trying to find a way to distinguish itself and its products from the increasing range carried by supermarkets. Last week Sainsbury, the food retailer, said it would be extending its own health and beauty offering after it axed a joint venture trial with Boots. Sainsbury and Boots have been working together since 2001, but Sainsbury now wants to roll out its own programme in about 50 stores. Under the original trial, Boots supplied the products, including exclusive lines, to a specific area within Sainsbury stores at nine out-of-town supermarkets. Although both sides agreed initial targets had been met, they could not agree terms to take the scheme forward. Observers suggested that the two had disagreed over sharing revenues. Boots has confirmed the departure of another senior member of management. Michael Bunting, head of treasury, will leave the company in April. Other senior staff who have left recently include Barry Clare, marketing director, and Ken Piggott, who was managing director of Boots? core business. Questions 31-35 are based on passage 1 31. Boots, according to the passage, is _______. A. a person B. a supermarket C. a hotel D. a factory 32. Richard Brasher is to ________. A. become chief executive B. be on a shortlist C. be a high-flier D. work within Tesco 33. Brasher is _______.

BEC真题阅读--part4--综合总结

BEC中级reading part4选词填空题巧解 阅读第四部分应试技巧—完形填空题 (一)题型介绍 BEC Vantage阅读第四部分不仅是考查对文章的理解,还考查语法、词汇和结构,如词的搭配、固定短语等。考生首先必须阅读文章,了解文章的大意,在这个基础上再根据上下文确定最佳选择。具体而言,这部分主要考查考生以下三个方面:一是语法知识,主要包括时态、语态、虚拟语气、从句、强调句、倒装句等 二是词汇,包括近义词、形近词、介词搭配、形容词搭配、动词搭配、名词搭配等; 三是考生对语篇的理解和推理能力。 (二)解题技巧 以下是这部分常见解题技巧: 1.排除无关选项:把握文章的主题,将一些看上去和文章主题毫不相关的选项排除在正确答案之外。 2.把握文章结构:充分利用文章结构来做出选择。譬如总分结构,总述是分述的总结和概括,而分述又是对总述的展开。当一些未知填空出现在总述中时,解出这些填空的相关已知线索很可能出现在与其对应的分述部分。 3.积累商务词汇: 4.从文章衔接入手:如果填空题中需填人的词为名词,还需要确定其单数或复数形式。要特别注意填空题后面的代词,每个代词都会表明它所代表的名词或名词短语。因此,找到填空题后面的代词,对确定所要填入的名词有很大帮助。如果是动词,也应确定其相应

的形式,如是否用第三人称单数等。 (三)答题步骤 考生可按以下步骤做题: 1.把握文章主旨:细读文章首句。与其他阅读部分不同,完形填空的第一句一般不留空白(或者空白处是例子,答案已给),是完整的一句,全文信息从此开始,通过该句预测文章主旨。然后,快速浏览全文,阅读时要一气呵成,尽管有空格、生词或不明白之处,仍要快速读下去;注意找出关键词、核心词,划出承上启下的词组,以便于抓住文章主旨和线索,形成思路。 2.灵活选择答案:注意从上下文及其逻辑关系人手寻找最佳选项。先读所填词的句子及其上下文。如果一句中有两处空白,在做题时要“双管齐下”,在两处同时试填,然后通读全句,确定答案。如果答案一时难以确定,可从语法结构、词语搭配、上下文语境、习惯用法、词义辨析等方面,对选项逐一分析试填,从而排除干扰项,判定最佳选项。 3.速读填好的短文:考生在检查已填好的文章时应注意上下文的一致性,即时态语态的一致,代词、连词、单复数的一致;注意语法、惯用法、习惯搭配,看是否符合上下文的逻辑;同时也应注意段与段之间、句与句之间的衔接是否自然、连贯。 常考点: 1、固定搭配,尤其是动词固定搭配 2、动词加副词性小品词搭配 3、词的辨析 4、选在商务英语中经常考察的词,不要选自己不认识的词,不要想得太复杂 5、常考词 1)Base \basis On the basis of\be based on\customer base\manufacture base\skill base\use base其他情况使
