Part III Reading Comprehension

Passage One

"If you want to see a thing well, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!"

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it.

With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two

coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.

All children soon learn what "Don't touch!" means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well,we have to touch it.

There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!

Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, "Do touch!" There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch it. Then you will really see!

61.By touching things, .

A. you will have a strange feeling

B. you will learn how to reach out your hand

C. you can tell the difference of the things

D. you can tell what colours they are

62. When people buy things in shops, they often .

A. try them on first

B. keep their right hands on them

C. ask about them

D. feel and touch them

63. Why does it say "At first, it is not easy to feel these things?" Because .

A. the things are used by people, too

B. people feel the things too often

C. people know how to use the things

D. the things are easy to feel

64. Which of the following is true?

A. Touching is more important than seeing.

B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.

C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.

65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?

B. To See or to Feel?

C. To See Better-Touch

D. Ways of Feeling

Passage Two

The old V olkswagen (VW) Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback (回潮). People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don't own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It's more remarkable when you realize that VW Company has already stopped producing them.

A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977. That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW calculates (估算) that about four million of them are still running, and running, and running.

Used car businessmen say they can't keep “Bugs” on their lots these days.They feel it's because these cars have a history of reliable (牢靠的), inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.

But all hasn't been smoothly going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor.And since it travels very close to the ground, large cars tend to splash(溅) it with winter's snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(管理部门)has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.

66.American people like to have a “Bug” ____ .

Passage Three

There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear.

For thousands of years, people in different parts of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.

One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils (面纱) to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man-made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.

The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living in India can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.

Worldwide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim (帽沿) up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.

71.If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you______ .

A．should know the ways to study other lands

B．should know the four big reasons given in the passage

C．may study the different types of clothing people wear

D．may be surprised by the ways people wear hats

B．Cotton is the common material for clothing.

C．Man-made materials are invented to make clothes.

D．Most people like silk clothes.

74.The third reason for different in clothing is______.

A．different materials B．different ways of making clothes

C．different styles of dressing D．different religions

75.The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show______.

Your Shoes Are Comfortable with feet or Not

Only your feet can tell whether your shoes are comfortable or not. That means you are the judge of your own business. It is just this consciousness that enables you to enjoy a promising and successful future.

Why should we judge things according to our own situation? Nothing can be better explanations than the following factors. First and foremost, there is no doubt that you are the person who knows yourself best. You nearly know everythin g about yourself including merits and demerits. What’s more, frequent and brave trials must make contributions to your final decision,which may be the most suitable for you. Last but by no means least, during the course of trying various things, it is definite that you will gain a large amount of social experience.Obviously it will enlighten you in the future.

To sum up, whether your shoes are comfortable or not all depends on yourself. Consequently, you are supposed to make a positive choice according to your own situation in that what suits you most is the best.

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said. The issue has divided Chinese netizens, as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but "empty talk. "
