PART V READING COMPREHENSION

SECTION A MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

In this section there are three passages followed by ten multiple choice questions. For each multiple choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

PASSAGE ONE

（1）The earliest settlers came to the North American continent to establish colonies that were free from the controls that existed in European societies. They wanted to escape the controls placed on their lives by kings and governments, priests and churches, noblemen and aristocrats. The historic decisions made by those first settlers have had a profound effect on the shaping of the American character. By limiting the power of the government and the churches and eliminating a formal aristocracy, they created a climate of freedom where the emphasis was on the individual. Individual freedom is probably the most basic of all the American values. By freedom, Americans mean the desire and the ability of all individuals to control their own destiny without outside interference from the government, a ruling noble class, the church, or any other organized authority.

(2)There is, however, a price to be paid for this individual freedom: self-reliance. It means that Americans believe they should stand on their own feet, achieving both financial and emotional independence from their parents as early as possible, usually by age 18 or 21.

(3)A second important reason why immigrants have traditionally been drawn to the United States is the belief that everyone has a equal chance to enter a race and succeed in the game. Because titles of nobility were forbidden in the Constitution, no formal class system developed in the U.S.

(6)Americans pay a price, however, for their material wealth: hard work. Hard work has been both necessary and rewarding for most Americans throughout their history. In some ways, material possessions are seen as evidence of people Barry Goldwater, a candidate for the presidency in 1964, said that most poor people are poor because they deserve to be. Most Americans would find this a harsh statement, but many might think there was some truth in it.

(7)These basic values do not tell the whole story of the American character. Rather, they should be thought of as themes, as we continue to explore more facets of the American character and how it affects life in the United States.

41.Para.4 seems to suggest that __________.

42.Which of the following methods does the author mainly use in

explaining American values?

A. Comparison

D. Cause and effect

C.Definition

D.Process analysis

PASSAGE TWO

(1)The Nobels are the originals, of course. Alfred Nobel, the man who invented deadly explosives, decided to try and do something good with all the money he

earned, and gave prizes to people who made progress in literature, science, economics and —perhaps most importantly —peace.

(2)Not all rewards are as noble as the Nobels. Even though most countries have

a system of recognizing, honoring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries, there are now hundreds of awards and award ceremonies for

all kinds of things.

(3)The Oscars are probably the most famous, a time for the (mostly) American

film industry to tell itself how good it is and an annual opportunity for lots of big stars

to give each other awards and make tearful speeches. As well as that there are also

the Golden Globes, evidently for the same thing.

(5)Awards don ’ t only exist for arts. There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year, for European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year.

This seems very strange—sometimes awards can be good to give recognition to

people who deserve it, or to help people who don ’ t makelot of money carry on

their work without worrying about finances, but professional soccer players these

days certainly aren’ t short of cash!

(7)Why have all these awards and ceremonies appeared recently? Shakespeare never won a prize, nor did Leonardo Da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.

(9)Perhaps award ceremonies are just the most recent phase of this process.

(10)However, there is more to it than that. When a film wins an Oscar, many

more people will go and see it, or buy the DVD. When a writer wins the Nobel Prize, many more people buy their books. When a group wins the MTV awards, the ceremony is seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world. The result? The group sells lots more records.

(12)On the surface, it seems to be a“ Win-win ”situation, with everyone

being happy, but let me ask you a question—how far do you think that publicity

and marketing are winning here, and how much genuine recognition of

achievement is taking place?

43. What is the author’ s tone when he mentions awards such as the Oscars, the Golden Globes and Grammies (Paras. 3 & 4)

A.Amused.

B.Appreciative.

C.Sarcastic.

D.Serious.

44.According to Para. 4, what would happen to award winning writers?

A. They would enjoy a much larger readership.

B. They would turn to popular novel writing.

C. They would continue non-fiction writing.

D. They would try controversial forms of art.

45. Which of the following statements best sums up Para. 6?

A. Awards ceremonies are held for local people.

B. Awards ceremonies are held on important occasions.

C. Awards ceremonies are held in certain professions.

D. Awards ceremonies are held for all sorts of reasons.

46.According to Para. 8, one difference between scientists and artists in

the past and those at present lies in_____________.

A. nature of work

B. personal contact

C. source of funding

D. social status

47.It can be concluded from Para. 12 that the author thinks awards ________.

A. promote market rather than achievements

B. do good to both market and popularity

C. help those who are really talented

D. are effective in making people popular

PASSAGE THREE

(1) Knowing that Mrs. Mallard suffered from a heart trouble, great care was

taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband’ s

(2)It was her sister Josephine who told her, in broken sentences. Her husband

friend Richards was there, too. It was he who had been in the newspaper office when

news of the railroad disaster was received, with Brently Mallard’ s nam list of“ killed” . He had only taken the time to assure himself of its truth by a second telegram.

(3) She wept at once, in her sister’ s arms. When the storm of sadness had sp itself she went away to her room alone. She would have no one follow her.

(5)She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees. The

delicious breath of rain was in the air. The notes of a distant song which someone

was singing reached her, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves).

(6)There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the

clouds that had met and piled above the other in the west facing her window.

(7)She sat with her head thrown back upon the cushion of the chair, quite motionless, except when a sob came up into her throat and shook her, as a child who

has cried itself to sleep continues to sob in its dreams.

(8)She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and

even a certain strength. But now there was a dull stare in her eyes, whose gaze

was fixed away off yonder on one of those patches of blue sky. It was not a glance

of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought.

(10)Now her bosom rose and fell tumultuously. She was beginning to recognize this thing that was approaching to possess her, and she was striving to beat it back with her will-as powerless as her two white slender hands would have been.

(11)When she abandoned herself a little whispered word escaped her slightly parted lips. She said it over and over under her breath: "Free, free, free!" The vacant stare and the look of terror that had followed it went from her eyes. They stayed keen and bright. Her pulses beat fast, and the coursing blood warmed and relaxed every inch of her body.

(14)And yet she had loved him-sometimes. Often she had not. What did it matter! What could love, the unsolved mystery, count for in face of this possession of self-assertion, which she suddenly recognized as the strongest impulse of her being!

(15) “ Free! Body and soul free!” she kept whispering.

(16)Josephine was kneeling before the closed door with her lips to the keyhole, imploring for admission. "Louise, open the door! I beg; open the door-you will make yourself ill. What are you doing, Louise? For heaven's sake open the door."

(17)"Go away. I am not making myself ill." No; she was drinking in a very

elixir(长生不老药 ) of life through that open window.

(18)Her fancy was running riot along those days ahead of her. Spring days, and summer days, and all sorts of days that would be her own. She breathed a quick prayer that life might be long. It was only yesterday she had thought with a shudder that life might be long.

(19)She arose at length and opened the door to her sister's importunities. There was a feverish triumph in her eyes, and she carried herself unwittingly like a goddess of Victory. She clasped her sister's waist, and together they descended the stairs. Richards stood waiting for them at the bottom.

(21)But Richards was too late.

(22)When the doctors came they said she had died of heart disease-of joy that kills.

48. How did Mrs Mallard get the news of her husband’ s death?

A. Her husband ’ s friend told her.

B. She had read it from the paper.

C. Her sister Josephine told her.

D. Her doctor broke the news to her.

49.When Mrs Mallard was alone in her room, she ___________.

A. sat in an armchair all the time

B. sat with her back facing the window

C. sat and then walked around for while

D. sat in a chair and cried all the time.

50.How did she feel about her love towards her husband?

A. She hated her husband.

B. She was indifferent now.

C. She found it hard to describe.

D. She had loved him all along.

Fright and disillusionment at the sight of her“ dead” husband.

PART VI WRITING

(略)

专八阅读理解练习题

passage One (Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice) In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences, that it is not even questioned．There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging．Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence – as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other．What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch, we have made no actual progress at all．We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged．The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing．We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute．The sheer horror, the bloodshed, the suffering mean nothing．No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us． The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and herder to get a hearing．They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement．If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution．Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake．In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme．The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us．Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law． Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems．And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchanging information．'Talk, talk, talk,’the advocates of violence say,‘all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser．’It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge．After listening to a lengthy argument the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser．‘Possible, my lord,’the barrister replied,‘none the wiser, but surely far better informed．’Knowledge

The saga of the White Star liner Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, carrying more than 1,500 passengers to their death, has been celebrated in print and on film, in poetry and song. But last week what had been legendary suddenly became real. As they viewed videotapes and photographs of the sunken leviathan, millions of people around the world could sense her mass, her eerie quiet and the ruined splendor of a lost age. Watching on television, they vicariously joined the undersea craft Alvin and Jason Jr. (J.J.) as they toured the wreckage of the luxury liner, wandering across the decks past corroded bollards, peering into the officers quarters and through rust-curtained portholes. Views of the railings where doomed passengers and crewmembers stood evoked images of the moonless night 74years ago when the great ship slipped beneath the waves. The two-minute videotape and nine photographs, all in color and shot 12,500ft.under the North Atlantic, were a tiny sample of 60 hours of video and 60,000 stills garnered during the twelve-day exploration. They are released at a Washington press conference conducted by Marine Geologist Robert Ballard, 44, who led the teams from the Wood Hole Oceanographic
