II．Reading Comprehension 阅读理解

本部分共4篇文章，20个问题，每题2分，共40分。

（A）

“Good morning”, the easiest of daily gre etings, is now out of style.

According to most manner experts, “good morning” is vanishing from our speech and taking good manners along with it.

Nowadays people are most likely to greet each other in the morning with a “Hi”, “Hey,” “ What?s up?” or “ How?s it going?” Certainly no one waits for answers to these greetings.

The loss of “Good morning” is the most visible example of the general decline in how we address each other. “How people talk to each other has declined,” said manner authority Letitia Bal drige. “We need to be warmer to each other.” Baldrige said she mourns the loss of “Good morning.”

“It?s the nicest, cheeriest, brightest thing to say. It makes people feel good,” she said.

“You are almost forced to smile with it. When you say …good morning?, your face is inclined to light up.”

Manner expert Judith Ri said there are a number of factors contributing to the loss of this greeting: a workplace that doesn?t encourage social interaction, neighborhoods that have abandoned community togetherness, and a home environment where parents are lazy in encouraging manners and where TV and computer games win out over gathering for the family dinner.

“We are simply not as formal as we used to be,” said Judith Ri with a sigh.

根据上面文章内容，从每题下面四个选项中选出一个最合适的答案，并在答题纸上将所选的编号字母涂黑。

A) it is dull and boring B) it is easy and informal

C) it is not in very good taste D) it is no longer in much use

22. When you greet people with a “How?s it going?” in the morning, ____C______.

A) you wait for a definite answer such as “Everything is OK”

B) they will stop and tell you how they are getting along

C) you just say it and do not expect an answer from them

D) they will give you a bright and cheerful smile in return

23. Most manner experts think when “Good Morning” is vanishing from our speech,

______A____.

A) good manners are gone with it B) brighter greetings take its place

C) people become rude and impolite D) people treat each other as strangers

24. The manner expert thinks that we have lost the greeting of “Good Morning” mainly

because______C____.

A) people do not want to talk as much as they used to do

B) people are too busy to spend time on such traditional greetings

C) modern way of life has set people apart from one another

D) TV and computer games have taking the place of family entertainment

25. What is the author?s tone in this article? B

A) Matter of fact. B) Sad.

C) Humorous. D) Ironic

(B)

Drinking too much fluid when exercising vigorously--which is often recommended in training--can actually kill you, sports medicine expert Timothy Noakes has warned.

He says that drinking too much is unnecessary and can be fatal. “Perhaps the best advice is that drinking according to the personal needs of thirst seems to be safe and effective.”

Noakes cites the example last year, when a woman in the Boston marathon died from a severe lack of salt in the blood because she drank too much sports drink before and during the race. Her death was not an isolated incident. Similar cases have occurred in athletes, army personnel and hikers.

Conventional thinking has been that thirst is not a good indicator of how much fluid we need, and is actually a late signal of severe fluid loss. This has led to doctrines where athletes are encouraged to drink more than they want to.

Now a new set of guidelines based on evidence has been developed, and recently adopted by USA Track and Field.

It says the average person should probably be drinking between 400 ml and 800 ml in an hour in most forms of recreational and competitive exercise.

People gently exercising in a mild environment would probably need less, and professional athletes competing in warm environments at higher intensities would probably need more.

Cool drinks are absorbed more readily by the exercising body than warm drinks, and those

containing sodium, such as sports drinks, are also more quickly absorbed.

根据上面文章内容，从每题下面四个选择中选出一个最合适的答案，并在答题纸上把所选的编号字母涂黑。

26. The word “fatal” in the second paragraph is nearest in meaning to___B____.

C) drinking too much fluid while ex ercising vigorously may endanger one?s life

D) the marathon race is an unsafe sport during which sudden deaths may occur

28. Athletes are actually encouraged to drink more than they really need because many people

think that_____A_____.

A) when you feel thirsty there is already a severe loss of fluid in your body

B) athletes lose much more fluid in their body when they do sports

C) when athletes are exercising vigorously they often forget their thirst

D) athletes competing at higher intensities need more water than ordinary people

For more than two days in September 1974, the people of Honduras shut their windows,

locked their doors and crouched(蹲伏)in their homes. Fifi was outside, and they were frightened.

Fifi wasn?t a pet dog as the name suggests. It was a hurricane, one of the most destructive natural phenomena in the world.

Why do we give human names to hurricanes? Two hundred years ago, many hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the saint?s day on which the storms occurred. Later, storms were known by the name of the city where they came ashore. Finally, in 1953, hurricanes started getting people?s names---specifically female names. Male names were added in 1979.

There are six sets of names all together. Each list is used every six years and consists of 21 names, starting with every letter but Q,U,X,Y and Z, The names alternate between males and females.

A storm won?t get a name until its winds reach about 62.4 kph at which point it becomes a tropical storm. At 118.4 kph it is declared a hurricane.

The 126 names on the list are used only for storms that form off the Atlantic coast of the US. There are separate lists for the Pacific. If a hurricane should cross from the Atlantic to the Pacific, it would get a new name.

Max Mayfield, director of the National Hurricane Center in the US, is in charge of picking names for storms of the Atlantic coast. He works together with his counterparts in two dozen other countries in the Caribbean, Central America and North America.

“If we have a hurricane that causes a large loss of life or damage, a country will request that the name be retired,” he said. “If it?s a French name, we replace it with a French name, Spanish, with a Spanish. Sometimes people write in to suggest names for hurricanes.”

根据上面文章内容，从每题下面四个选择中选出一个最合适的答案，并在答题纸上把选的题号字母涂黑。

31. We can learn from the article that Fifi was_____D___.

A) the name of a wild animal in Honduras which attacked people

B) the name of the city in Honduras where the storm came ashore

C) the name of a god the Caribbean people worshiped but feared

D) the name given to the terrible storm that hit Honduras in 1974

32. When the author says “The name alternate between males and females” he means_B____.

A) the male name and female names are mixed together

B) a male name and a female name occur one after another

C) the male names and female names have the same number

D) the male and female names are chosen without a definite plan

33. Whether a storm should be given a name from the 126 names depends much on _____A___.

A) its wind speed per hour B) its destructive power

C) the place where it strikes D) the direction of its wind

34. When should a name for hurricanes be retired and replaced with a new one? D

A) When a name starts with the letter Q,U,X or Z

B) When a name hasn?t been used for a long time

C) When some people write in to suggest retiring it

D) When a hurricane causes tremendous destruction

35. In this article the author centers around __C______.

A) where hurricanes usually occur

B) why hurricanes are so destructive

C) how storms and hurricanes get their names

D) what people should do when a storm comes

(D)

Archaeology(考古学) is the interpretation of objects and information that together provide clues to the past. These clues are often thought of as coming solely from the objects that have remained from the culture of past peoples.

The purpose of archaeology is to get a first-hand glimpse, through the clues available, of what it was like to live in past times. The challenge is to learn to discover evidence without destroying it. This takes knowledge of how to recover evidence carefully, what to observe, and what to do with what is found.

Archaeology is not limited to the buried past or remote ages. It is a technique for discovering and conserving evidence of all times and places. It extends its inquiry both below and above

ground. Because most high schools do not have faculty members who are trained archaeologists, or historians who do research, or museum conservationists who preserve objects or data of historical value, this program is largely up to the individual student to implement on his own. But there are many teachers who are trained and enthusiastic researchers and their help can be of great value.

Archaeology requires many patiently-acquired skills. Below ground archaeology must be attempted only by trained and skilled people who work carefully and scientifically. Archaeology should never be done simply for fun or simply to collect objects. Training for field archaeology, laboratory procedure, and report writing can be acquired only by working closely with a trained and qualified archaeologist. It is absolutely essential that one have this instruction and be led by trained archaeologists before attempting to investigate an archaeological site. Archaeology is no do-it-yourself hobby for the uninstructed.

2009级《大学英语》分级考试试卷 Part I.Reading Comprehension(40%) Directions:Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions or incomplete statements following the passage.You must read the four choices marked A,B,C and D,and decide which is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. (2’×20) Passage1 Questions1to5are based on the following passage. It has been a widespread belief that the American family is dying.But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever.This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life. The American family is changing,not dying.It is becoming smaller,men and women are becoming more equal,and the divorce rate is higher.But despite the high divorce rate,marriage has never been more popular.The majority of divorced people remarry,but only2%marry more than twice.Most marriages last a long time,and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages.Depending on the specific situation,there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up. There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home.So far the amount of educational or development time hasn’t varied very much,whether or not the mother works outside the home.In fact,working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children. The study shows that television is by far the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century.The most important activity for children up to age14is watching television. School is the second most time-consuming activity for children.They spend an average of about19hours a week in school.A larger proportion of children go to school earlier than ever before,and they stay in school longer.Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in daycare centers(日托站)has almost doubled in recent https://www.wendangku.net/doc/c85256074.html,pared with these two dramatic changes in child activity,the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small. 1The main idea of this article is that_______. A.the American family is dying B.young people today don’t want to get married C.the American family is changing,but it is stronger than ever https://www.wendangku.net/doc/c85256074.html,cation has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family 2Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.Marriage is more popular than before. B.Many divorced people remarry. C.The majority of marriages last long. D.Working mothers devote less time to their children.

2009级《大学英语》分级考试试卷 Part I. Reading Comprehension (40%) Directions:Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions or incomplete statements following the passage. You must read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. (2’×20) Passage 1 Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. It has been a widespread belief that the American family is dying. But a new study reveals that the American family is stronger than ever. This study affords surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life. The American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller, men and women are becoming more equal, and the divorce rate is higher. But despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people remarry, but only 2% marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up. There is no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home. So far the amount of educational or development time hasn’t varied very much, whether or not the mother works outside the home. In fact, working mothers try to make up for it by setting aside time only for their children. The study shows that television is by far the most significant new childcare arrangement of this century. The most important activity for children up to age 14 is watching television. School is the second most time-consuming activity for children. They spend an average of about 19 hours a week in school. A larger proportion of children go to school earlier than ever before, and they stay in school longer. Another big change is that the proportion of very young children in daycare centers (日托站) has almost doubled in recent years. Compared with these two dramatic changes in child activity, the changes caused by mothers working outside the home appear very small. 1 The main idea of this article is that _______. A. the American family is dying B. young people today don’t want to get married C. the American family is changing, but it is stronger than ever D. education has resulted in dramatic changes in the American family 2 Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Marriage is more popular than before. B. Many divorced people remarry. C. The majority of marriages last long. D. Working mothers devote less time to their children.

新视野大学英语新生入校分级考试试卷

新视野大学英语新生入校分级考试试卷 Part I Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (5 minutes)(10分) Directions: Read the following passage, and then fill in the blanks with the missing part for the following incomplete statements. Your answers should be written on Answer Sheet 1. Most Americans spend far more of their leisure time with entertainment and information sources than in any other occupation. Of all information and entertainment sources, television is clearly dominant (支配的), with newspapers a close second, at least as a source of news and other information. Our exposure (暴露,接触) to all of these sources is important, however, because they all contribute (贡献) materials for the construction of the world in our heads. For most people, increased use of one medium does not decrease (减少) use of another. In fact, in certain cases, and especially for certain purposes, the more one uses one medium, the more likely one is to use others. There are various factors that can cause you to expose yourself to one source selectively. Some of that selective exposure is probably due to the psychological (心理) pressure you feel when avoiding the discomfort caused by the confrontation with facts and ideas contrary to your beliefs, attitudes, or behavior. However, some selective exposure is not due to such pressure for consistency (一致) but to other factors, such as your age, education, and even the area in which you live and the people with whom you associate. Quite a different sort of factor that affects your information and entertainment experiences is the social context of exposure—whether you are alone or with others when you are exposed to a medium; whether you are at home, at the office, in a theater, and so on. These contexts are as much a potential part of the message as film images on the screen or words on the page. 1.____________________ are dominant sources of news and information. 2.Our exposure to information and entertainment sources is important because they provide ___________________ of our mental world. 3. Facts show that the more one uses one medium, the more likely one is _________________. 4. Factors that can cause us to expose ourselves to one source selectively _________ ______________. 5. One quite different sort of factor that affects our information and entertainment experiences is the ______________________.
