Passage 1

Parrots are becoming one of the most popular pets in America—and for good reason. The parrot is an extraordinary bird that can be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a lively atmosphere anywhere. With the help of an energetic parrot owner, a parrot can develop an enormous vocabulary. In addition, a parrot can be trained to say "Pretty boy" or "Polly wants a cracker," and it also can learn to whistle or sing. No matter what an owner decides to teach a bird, training a parrot takes much patience, but the reward is a stream of chatter. Another reason for the parrot's popularity is that this pet does not require much care. For example, even a spoiled parrot does not need a housesitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. In fact, a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for five days and have no fear that the parrot will overeat. Still another advantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food, including seeds, nuts, corn, and grain—along with an apple, banana, or carrot. Perhaps the most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is that it: is a combination of lameness and wild-ness. Because the parrot can live in almost any environment, it makes a fine, tame companion for many people. In addition, because it can be easily trained, it is a delightful performer. At the same time, its colorful feathers give it an air of the mystery of the parrot's native home, the jungle. Thus, the parrot, once a highly valued gift presented to kings and noble families, is now appreciated by a growing number of people.

Passage 2

In the February of 1892, Sloan gathered his work together, and walked into the offices of a Philadelphia newspaper called the Inquirer to ask for a job. Newspapers employed many artists to draw pictures of news events as they happened, and to handle other types of artwork. Sloan was hired for the news department, but he soon asked to be sent to the art department. For three years he drew portraits and illustrations for the women's page and the Sunday paper.

It was in the offices of the Inquirer that Sloan first met several fellow artists who were later to be important in his life. His old friend William Glackens was already working for the newspaper when Sloan was hired. Soon after, Everett Shinn joined them, and the three young men would go out on Sunday painting trips. Sloan had no desire to be a painter; he only wanted to become a fine illustrator.

To learn how to draw the human figure better, Sloan went to night classes at the Philadelphia Academy of Art. No models were used. and no instruction in painting was given. One night, Sloan drew one of the students. When the teacher told him to stop, he stood up and walked out, never to return. With forty other artists, he helped organize a club where twice a week the members drew from live models.

In 1895, Sloan left the Inquirer to work for the Press, a morning newspaper. The Press art department was under the direction of Edward Davis, father of the now-famous artist Stuart Davis. Sloan's fellow students on the paper—George Luks, Everett Shinn, and Glackens—were all young men eager to paint. Sloan soon became a member of the group. The change of jobs proved a good thing in all ways. The Press gave Sloan an increase in salary, more interesting work, greater space for his drawings, and more free time. He was soon the most valuable artist on the paper. –

1. What kind of job did Sloan wish to get when he entered the offices of the Inquirer ?

Passage 3

On December 12?1901, the Italian electrical engineer Guglieimo Marconi (1874-1937) succeeded in sending radio signals from England to Newfoundland across the Atlantic Ocean. This is usually taken as representing the invention of radio. Such radio signals are transmitted by the use of radio waves, similar in nature to light waves, but a million or so times longer.

Like light waves, radio waves travel in straight lines, and so a radio-wave transmission should not be detectable beyond the horizon. Nevertheless, Marconi's signals traveled from England to Newfoundland around the curve of Earth.

A British-American electrical engineer, Arthur Edwin Kennelly (1861-1939), and an English electrical engineer, Oliver Heaviside (1850-1925), independently suggested in 1902 that radio waves would be reflected by ions (离子) and that there must be a layer of ions high in the atmosphere that reflected radio waves. (This came to be called the "Kennelly-Heaviside layer". ) Bouncing between the Kennelly-Heaviside layer and the ground, radio signals could travel around the curve of Earth's globe.

The English physicist Edward Victor Appleton (1902-1965), studying the manner in which beams of radio waves interfered with each other, produced convincing evidence, in 1922, that the theoretical suggestions of Kennelly and Heaviside were accurate and that there was indeed an ion-rich layer in the upper atmosphere. By 1924? he was able to show that the Kennelly-Heaviside layer was some 95 kilometers above the surface of Earth. He also produced evidence for the existence of still higher ion-rich regions ("Appleton layers") and, in 1926, showed that some of these were as much as 240 kilometers high.

The portion of the atmosphere lying between heights of 50 and 300 kilometers above the surface of Earth is therefore called the "ionosphere".

1. According to the first two paragraphs, which of the following is NOT true?

A) Marconi traveled from England to Newfoundland.

B) Marconi was born in 1874.

C) Marconi sent radio waves across the Atlantic.

D) Marconi achieved great success when he was under 30.

2. Kennelly and Heaviside _______.

A) discovered the "Kennelly-Heaviside layer"

B) detected radio waves sent by each other.

C) suggested the existence of a layer of ions in the atmosphere

D) worked together and made great contributions to science

3. Appleton's first great achievement-was that he _______.

A) measured the height of the "Kennelly-Heaviside layer"

B) provided evidence for the "Kennelly-Heaviside layer"

C) discovered different heights of ion-rich regions

D) illustrated how radio waves interfered with each other

4. "Ionosphere" refers to _______.

A) the atmosphere around the earth

B) ion-rich regions in the atmosphere

C) various radio signals in the air

D) ions found over the Atlantic

5. This passage is probably written to answer the question; _______

A) How high is the "ionosphere"?

B) Who invented the radio?

C) How fast do radio waves travel?

D) Who discovered the "ionosphere"?

Passage 4

One of the best-known proverbs must be "early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. " The promises of health, wealth, and wisdom to those who join the ranks of the early retirers and risers must be particularly appealing to many people in our contemporary society. There is no doubt that one of the greatest concerns of modern man is his health. It is estimated that in the United States $ 200 billion are spent on health care each year. The medical field has grown into such big business that it employs 4. 8 million people; and it appears that in many places, more staff is needed to meet the demands of the people who are concerned about their physical well-being.

Much more interest has been shown in preventive medicine in recent years. This is probably due in part to the increasing costs of medical treatment, but the writings of such people as Dr. Kenneth Cooper have also played an important role. In his book Aerobics, Dr. Cooper communicated his message of the benefits of exercise so effectively many other authors have followed in his trail, and literally millions of readers have put on their sports shoes and taken to the highways and byways of America. A recent survey showed that over 17 million people are jogging. Many of these are so serious they have trained themselves to run the 26 miles and 385 yards of the hard and tiring marathons that are sponsored all over the country. The last time I was in Honolulu, I was amazed to see hundreds of people, young and old, running for their lives, and I discovered many of them have run in the Hawaiian Marathon.

Exercise has also become a major part of conversation. At a dinner party recently, the president of a bank asked me, "You look like a runner; how far do you run each day?" A few days later when I appeared on a national television show, the host suddenly asked me if I was a regular runner. On both occasions the conversation turned to the subject of exercise and I found, as I have found whenever I have traveled recently, that this is a subject on many people's minds. Of course, there are still many people who are less than enthusiastic about exercise. They appreciate the philosophy of Robert M. Hutchings who said, "Whenever the thought of exercise occurs to me, I lie down till it passes. "

Passage 5

Archibald Macleish was born in Illinois, in the Middle West, where he attended schools and then went to Yale University on the East Coast. After graduation, he went to Harvard Law school where he became a qualified lawyer, and also published two volumes of poetry.

When the U. S. A. entered the First World War in 1917, he joined the army as a common soldier, but he was made an officer and he rose to the rank of captain. Afterwards, he got married and settled down in Boston to become a lawyer. He was very successful, but he hated the work. He wanted to be a poet. So, in 1923, he closed his office and went with his wife and children to Paris, in order to perfect his skill as a poet. He joined the life of the Lost Generation there, and particularly admired Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, who influenced his style and his point of view. He wrote thoughtful, lyrical poetry—one of his best-known poems from that period is "Ars Poetica" which praised pure poetry, unspoiled by social purpose.

Macleish returned to America in 1928, with fresh eyes. He was struck by the ironic discrepancy (差异) between America's ideals and its reality, and he realized that the concerns of the writers he had recently left in Paris had little relation to real life as he now saw it. His social conscience was aroused, and a strong desire to change America so that it would fulfill its ideal of justice for all. He turned his writing to a more direct expression of public issues, and he called on other writers to do the same. In 1930, he published New Found Land, a book of poems full of strong American idealism, in a mood which he retained for the rest of his life.

During the 1930's, he wrote many poems expressing his faith in America's future, and his own radical view that the capitalist ruling class must be got rid of. His poems in a collection entitled Frescoes for Mr. Rockefeller's City (1933) satirized the attitudes of big business. He became a writer for Fortune, a magazine for businessmen, which taught him more about the unscrupulous (肆无忌惮的) commercial practices of American business.

A) Paris C)Yale University

B) Illinois . D) Harvard adults at

Passage 6

Miss Joan was in a very good mood. She had been in a great mood all week long. It was Apple Week. Monday was the day when all the kindergartners in her class drew pictures of apples. On Tuesday? they listened as Miss Joan read stories about apples. Wednesday was the day that Miss Joan told the class about the field trip they would take to an apple orchard. On Thursday, the kids saw a film about how apples are made into cider. And now it was finally Friday, the day of the field trip.

Miss Joan loved teaching about apples. She loved eating apples. Above all, she enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard. Nothing could ruin her good apple mood.

She hadn't even been bothered when she found the rotten apple on her desk that morning; the apple with the plastic worm sticking out of it. She guessed that Mr. El, the fourth grade teacher, had left it there as a prank.

The bus ride was bumpy and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling. She didn't even frown when Charlton pulled Jessica's hair. She just said firmly, "Charlton, behave."

The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Orchard Store and the class filed out quickly and quietly. Miss Joan led the procession and Mrs. Bernstein, the parent chaperon, counted heads to make sure everyone was there. "What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day," Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile.

Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. "Let's see, there are eighteen children and two adults at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please. "

Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. "It says that the price is two dollars each," she pointed out. "That's what I collected from everyone. " "We've had to raise the price," Mr. Greenly stated.

"You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation," Miss Joan growled. "and if says two dollars!"

"Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure," Mr. Greenly said, "you'll notice a very important statement."

Sure enough, in very tiny letters, it said, "Prices are subject to change without notice."

Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty-dollar bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.

"Now children, do you all have your baskets?" Miss Joan called out. "Remember, you can pick as many apples as you want. "

"Miss Joan, there's been a change in policy," Mr. Greenly said, almost shouting, "the children are limited to six apples each. "

"I beg your pardon!" Miss Joan was not smiling now. "The brochure says. 'ALL YOU CAN PICK'!"

Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, "Terms and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice."

Miss Joan's good mood was now history. She didn't want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, "We're going home, give me our money back, please."

"I'm sorry. I can't do that," Mr. Greenly said cheerfully, "The brochure says, 'No Refunds. '"

Miss Joan's face was deep red. She glared at Mr. Greenly and said, "Mr. Greedy, let me tell you what 1 am going to do. Let me show you what we are going to do!"

Cyclists and pedestrians sharing the Stanley Park seawall have mixed feelings about a proposal to build a separate path for skaters and cyclists.

Lynda Pitt-Brooke accepted the idea with a shrug of resignation.

"This one takes the wisdom of Solomon. I want it both ways," said Pitt-Brooke? who was out for a stroll along the seawall Tuesday afternoon. She doesn't want 10 see more trees uprooted and grass paved over, but can't think of another way to accommodate an increasing numbers of cyclists, skaters and pedestrians.

A report by park department planners, to be considered by the park board Monday, recommends building separate paths for cyclists and inline skaters. The report estimates I. 2 acres of grass, 20 trees and 350 parking spaces will have to be removed from Stanley Park to build the path. The long-term recommendation is to ban cyclists and skaters from the seawall.

"It is crowded but I don't think they should tear down more trees," said cyclist DeNel Sedo, who doesn't want to see bikes and inline skates banned from the seawall.

The Vancouver resident would make the seawall accessible to all. Sedo took friends from Phoenix, Ariz. to the seawall on Tuesday. She says it is the first place she thinks of to take out-of-town visitors because it's so beautiful. If they couldn't bike or skate on the path, she'd think twice about taking her guests to Stanley Park.

The real problem is people who don't obey the rules of the path, not the number of cyclists, Sedo said. She would rather see money spent on patrols to enforce the rules of the path.

Sedo's friend, Diane Leech, said patrols mean there are few conflicts between pedestrians, cyclists and skaters on shared paths in Phoenix parks. "It's very respectful. " Some seawall regulars are not sure everyone can share the seawall in harmony. "There are too many inconsiderate bicyclists and rollerbladers out there,"said Cheryl Hildebrand, taking a break from cycling the seawall.

She said she would be willing to give up the seawall to the exclusive use of pedestrians.

1. A "pedestrian" is a person who is _______.

A) cycling B) riding a horse C) driving D) walking

2. If the seawall were "accessible" to all? this would mean that _______could use it.

A) no one C) pedestrians and joggers

B) cyclists D) everyone

3. If trees are "uprooted ," they are _______.

A) replanted

B) given special food for their roots

C) pulled out of the ground

D) placed on higher ground

4. The phrase think twice in the sixth paragraph means _______.

A) be anxious B) be worried C) hasten D) hesitate

5. It can be seen from the passage that _______.

A) few local people like skaters and cyclists

B) the proposal to build another pass is wrong

C) cyclists and skaters are usually inconsiderate

D) different people have different attitudes toward the proposal

There lived once in Baghdad a merchant who? having squandered all his wealth became so destitute that he could make his living only by the hardest labour. One night he lay down to sleep with a heavy heart, and in a dream a man appeared to him, saying: "Your fortune lies in Cairo. Go and seek it there. "

The very next morning he set out for Cairo and, after many weeks and much hardship on the way, arrived in that city. Night had fallen, and as he could not afford to stay at an inn he lay down to sleep in the courtyard of a mosque.

Now as the Almighty's will would have it, a band of robbers entered the mosque and from there broke into an adjoining house. Awakened by the noise, the owners raised the alarm and shouted for help; then the thieves made off. Presently the Chief of Police and his men arrived on the scene. They entered the mosque and, finding the man from Baghdad lying in the courtyard, seized him and beat him with their clubs until he was nearly dead. Then they threw him into prison.

Three days later the Chief o'f Police ordered his men to bring the stranger before him.

"Where do you come from?" asked the chief.

"From Baghdad. "

"And what has brought you to Cairo?"

"A man appeared to me in a dream, saying: 'Your fortune lies in Cairo. Go and seek it there. 'But when I came to Cairo, the fortune I was promised proved to be the blows your men so generously gave me. "

When he heard this, the Chief of Police burst out laughing. "Know then, you fool," he cried, "that I too have heard a voice in my sleep, not just once but on three occasions. It said; 'Go to Baghdad, and in a cobbled street lined with palm trees you will find such-and-such a house, with a courtyard of grey marble; at the far end of the garden there is a fountain of white marble. Under the fountain a great sum of money lies buried. Go there and dig it up. ' But would I go? Of course not. Yet, fool that you are, you have come all the way to Cairo on the strength of one idle dream. "

Then the Chief of Police gave the merchant some money. "Here," he said, "take this. It will help you on the way back to your own country. "

The merchant recognized at once that the house and garden just described were his own. He took the money and set out promptly on his homeward journey.

As soon as he reached his house he went into the garden, dug beneath the fountain, and uncovered a great treasure.

Passage 9

Because of the power and pervasiveness of advertising in so many countries, there are official restrictions imposed everywhere. In almost every country there is a restriction of some sort on the advertising of alcoholic beverages. This can take form of an outright ban, a restriction to certain media, or actually a direction as to what may and may not be said or shown in an ad. In the United States, for example, alcoholic beverage advertising, except for wine and beer, is restricted to print and out-of home media.

In the United Stated the federal laws concerning advertising are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. In addition, most newspapers and magazines enforce their own standards for accepting advertisements. Television networks check every submitted commercial for accuracy and good taste. The National Advertising Review Board, sponsored by several advertising associations and the Council of Better Business Bureaus, deals with any advertiser it finds guilty of using false misleading claims. At one time most commercials that were directed to children or that involved personal products were subject to review by the National Association of Broadcasters. None of these restrictions and self-regulations apply to political advertising as it is practiced in the United States. This is one reason why there is controversy over the practice of candidates for public office purchasing television spots to influence voters. Another reason is the contention that television campaigns give the wealthiese candidate an unfair advantage over the other candidates.

1.Why are official restrictious imposed everywhere on advertising?

A.Because advertisements are apt to mislead people.

B.Because advertising can exert vast influence upon people.

C.Because many advertisements are poorly made.

D.Because businesses advertise merely to attract more customers and to make more money out of them.

2.What kind of beverage can not be advertised on TV in the United States according to this passage?

A.Beer.

B.Coffee.

C. Alcoholic beverages.

D. Wine.

3. Which of the following forms of restriction is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A) A ban.

B) A restriction on publications.

C) A specific direction.

D) A restriction on advertising space.

4. Which organization once reviewed most advertisements targeted on kids?

A) The National Association of Broadcasters.

B) The Federal Trade Commission.

C) The National Advertising Review Board.

D) The Council of Better Business Bureaus.

5. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? .

A) There are no official restrictions of any kind imposed on political advertising.

B) Each and every country restricts the advertising of alcoholic beverages in one way or another.

C) Newspapers accept advertisements according to their own regulations.

D) False and misleading claims are not uncommon in advertising.

Passage 10

Some imported kosher products have disappeared from the shelves after Quebec's language watchdog informed grocery-store chains that the products had to be labelled in French.

But the decision to pull the products—imported from New York—was made by the supermarkets, according to an official of the office de la langue francaise.

"We didn't tell them to remove the food, we just informed them it was against the law and asked them to correct the situation," said Gerald Paquette. "We received about 10 complaints that the packaging wasn't in French. "

He said many complaints came from Quebec's growing French-speaking Sephardic Jewish community.

But the director of community relations for the Canadian Jewish Congress's Quebec region doubted that his fellow Sephardic Jews were behind the complaints.

"It doesn't make any sense, because they buy the food as well," said David Sultan. "Why would they do something that would prevent the products from being sold here?"

Sultan said Sephardic Jews know that some kosher foods prepared for Passover aren't labelled in French because the New York manufacturers produce them in small quantities only a few weeks a year.

"The market here is so small, it's unrealistic to expect them to label things in French," Sultan said.

During the eight days of Passover, which began Wednesday night, observant Jews refrain from eating foods that contain a leavening agent or regular flour, including bread, crackers and most cakes.

Sultan said the Congress will ask the language watchdog to invoke a provision of Quebec's French Language Charter that allows certain specialty foods to forgo French labels.

Paquette said his department will consider the request, but added that every effort will be made to persuade the companies to label their packages in French.

1. Quebec's language watch dog _______.

A) takes care of the wandering dogs in the neighborhood

B) looks out for non-French product labels

A) monthly B) bi-annual C) yearly D) weekly

3. If you "refrain" from something,you _______.

A) do it twice B) do it C) do not do it D) should do it

4. From what David Sultan said we can know that _______.

A) he believed that some Sephardic Jews were not satisfied with the service offered by the supermarkets

B) he thought that somebody had spread a rumor to ruin the reputation of Sephardic Jews.

C) he believed that his fellow Sephardic Jews did not make any complaint at all

D) he hoped that the supermarkets could offer better service to the Sephardic Jews

5. In the last but one paragraph, the word forgo means _______.

A) not use B) use C) accept D) deny

Passage 11

In Bodega Bay, California, a memorial for a small boy was unveiled. Nicholas Green was killed by bandits on a family vacation in Italy two years ago.

"Through his death he gave life to others."

His parents donated the boy's organs and saved the lives of 7 Italians. The generous act stunned a nation where organ transplants were historically very low. In gratitude, people from all over Italy sent 130 bells in honor of Nicholas.

Julio Prigioni the Consul General of Italy says, ''All the bells were donated by families and even a lot of children and the biggest one was even blessed by the pope. "

For the Greens, the bells symbolize an outpouring of love from Italy that continues.

Maggie Green, Nicholas' mother says," They were given by people who got involved with Nicholas through a photograph and they feel for him and they feel for us. "

Designed by sculptor Bruce Hassan, the 18 foot memorial catches breezes from the nearby Pacific Ocean.

Now parents of five months old twins, as well as another daughter, the Greens hope the bell lower will become a place of solace.

Nicholas' father Reg Green said, "I don't suppose I'll ever come here without a lurch of the heart in memory of a little boy who was like a rainbow."

He shared stories and treasures, and then his parents shared part of him. Following the tragedy, there was a 30 percent increase in organ donorship in Italy. His father hopes what he calls "the Nicholas effect" continues.

Reg Green, "When Nicholas died, I said he lit a spark of love in the ends of hearts around the world... well…we are tending that flame today. "

Passage 12

It was the biggest party San Francisco has ever thrown, the crowd equivalent to the population of the city. As many as 800,000peoplejammed together on the Golden Gate Bridge wanting to be a part of this landmark's history. A reenactment of the opening ceremony was scrapped as the early morning crowd surged onto the bridge 40 minutes before it was about to open.

The crowd broke all records and far exceeded any expectations. The party celebrates the 50th anniversary of what was then a mechanical wonder of the world and what remains a graceful symbol of San Francisco.

One woman said, "This is the greatest day in the history of San Francisco. There's no better day to walk the bridge. "

Police reported no major injuries. There were a dozen minor ones and several arrests,mostly for drunkenness. Thebridgewalklasted4hours.Many on the bridge fel tthe 4,200 foot span sway in the wind and rise and fall as the huge crowd moved across. The sunrise stroll was just the beginning of a full day of games, concerts, and a parade of antique cars, some of which crossed the bridge opening day.

Many of the older folks here walked the bridge when it opened in 1937. Some have come back with their grandchildren, who will perhaps come back with their grandchildren again 50 years from now.

Passage 13

On July 4th, the United States celebrates its "birthday." commemorating the official approval of the Declaration of Independence by The Continental Congress on July 4, 177G. The actual document had been voted on July 2nd, but it was proclaimed on the 4th. Coincidentally, the two men most directly involved in

the wording of the Declaration, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams (later the 3rd and 2nd presidents, respectively) both died on the 50th anniversary of Independence, July 4, 1826.

July 4 is a day for parades, picnics, public addresses and fireworks, although in recent times long, elaborate orations have gone out of favor somewhat, and most places restrict fireworks to official displays in order to avoid the many injuries caused by people setting off their own.

The centennial and bicentennial 4th of July celebrations have been, of course, the most elaborate ones. Philadelphia held a World Exposition in 1876. to which nearly 10 million people came. One of the things the Philadelphia Exposition is remembered for is that it was where Alexander Graham Bell displayed his new invention, called the telephone. In 1976, there were nationwide celebrations of the 200th anniversary of independence, highlighted by a visit of ships from all over the world to New York Harbor.

July 4th is also the date on which all changes in the U. S. flag take effect, as when Alaska became a state in 1959 and Hawaii in 1960. Another star was added to the flag each time and it was raised over the Capitol and at Fort McHenry in Baltimore, where the "Star Spangled Banner," America's national anthem since 1931 > was written by Francis Scott Key during a battle in the War of 1812.

It is celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equmox, which comes around March 21si. When the full moon comes on Sunday, Easter will be on the following Sunday. Therefore, the date ranges from March 22 to April 25.

What about the Easier rabbit? Spring is the time of rebirth of nature, which is related to the symbolism of Christ's rebirth. Rabbits are very fertile animals, thus the Romans regarded them, along with eggs, as symbols of fertility, the largest concern of the ancients.

Of course, most of the symbolism is now lost, but the Easier customs are still kept alive both in and out of the church.

Passage 16

One of the most-cited case histories in sociology is the study of Agnes, a biological male who had always felt that he was a female. Raised as a male up to age seventeen, Agnes then decided actually to become a woman. Agnes dressed and behaved the way a woman would, became engaged to a young man, and applied to a university clinic for the sex change surgery that would complete the transformation.

Medication and a series of operations could stop the production of male hormones and make Agnes look like a woman. But the hardest part of the sex change was learning how to "be" a woman and to convince others that this was her true identity. What for most women is considered "natural" was for Agnes a problem in the presentation of self. Agnes learned to avoid situations in which others might question her identity, such as all female gatherings. She also had to construct a believable past history. In other words, Agnes quite literally manufactured a "self".

As we follow Agnes's own story, we realize that each person constructs an identity but is usually unaware of the effort it takes. What is "taken-for-granted" by the rest of us is brought into the open by Agnes. From this one in-depth study, then, we can learn more about the creation of a sexual identity than through any other research design. It is the perfect method for the type of question examined by ethnomethodologists (民族方法学家)go.

A) it is quite easy to perform sex change surgery today

B) Do You Want to Be a Man or a Woman?

C) Agnes: the Social Construction of Identity

D) Medication in the 21st Century

Passage 17

The turkey's sharp eyesight and keen sense of hearing make it a very elusive quarry. Many hunters consider the wild turkey more difficult to take than big game animals like deer. In parts of the Southeast which lack the deer that are plentiful elsewhere, the wild turkey has come to be regarded as the big game animal.

A wild turkey is virtually impossible to sneak up on, but, because it gobbles to claim a mate or establish its territory, hunters can use turkey calls to attract the bird. Though learning the technique isn't all that simple, in some areas one's manhood is in question if he can't properly use a turkey call.

Not long ago while I was in the vast swamps near Tallahassee, Florida, researching wild pigs. I noticed that most male residents carried odd-looking objects—even in the diners while having morning coffee. I was puzzled until two men pushed their toast aside and talked to each other—in the language of the small box-like contraptions (新发明) that they played like violins. No one could mistake the sounds that emanated (发出), bouncing around that roadside diner like wild things suddenly uncaged, the clear persistent heoh heoh heoh heoh of wild turkeys.

The turkey calls are ingenious, made out of everything from a piece of red cedar or slate, a corncob or coconut shell, to hollow wingbone of turkey. They are all designed to cash in on the wild turkey's major

weakness: curiosity.

Turkeys respond to expert calling for a variety of reasons. They are itching for a fight in the mating season. calling repeatedly for a mate just before dawn. They are curious about who else is doing the talking, and sometimes, just plain lonely. Also. turkeys normally travel in flocks, and the senior member of the flock frequently calls to reassemble them.

1. Judging from the context, we can know that an elusive quarry is _______.

A) usually friendly 0 quite common

B) easy to track D) hard to find

2. What is this article about?

A) Turkey farms. C) Turkey calls.

B) Turkey feathers. 0) Turkey tracks.

3. Wild turkeys are _______.

A) hard to catch C) easy to hunt

B) becoming extinct D) difficult to raise

4. The writer of this article was doing research work on wild pigs in _______.

A) Louisiana C) F'lorida

B) Mississippi D) Alabama

5. During the mating season wild turkeys seem to _______.

A) slow down their activities

B) become very quarrelsome

C) be very friendly

D) lose many of their colorful feathers

Passage 18

Londoners are great readers. They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and even of books—especially paperbacks, which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy "proper" books, too, printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.

There are many streets in London containing shops that specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one that boasts of being "the biggest bookshop in the world" to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock, or will obtain, any kind of book, but many of them specialize—in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on philosophy, politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet!

Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes, the collector must venture off the beaten track,to Farringdon Road, for example, in the Fast Central district of London. Here there is nothing so grandiose as bookshops. Instead, the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of hooks on to small barrows that line the gutters. And the collectors, some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them, pounce upon the dusty cascade. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.

Both Charing Cross Road and Farringdon Road are well-known haunts of the hook buyer. Yet all over London there are bookshops, in places not so well known, where the wares are equally varied and exciting. It is in the sympathetic atmosphere of such shops that the ardent book buyer feels most at home. In these shops, even the life-long book-browser is frequently rewarded by the accidental discovery of previously unknown delights. One could, in fact, easily spend a lifetime exploring London's bookshops. There

are many less pleasant ways of spending time! /

1. In the third paragraph, the phrase venture of f the beaten track means "_______".

A) avoid being involved in troubles on the streets

B) exploring the dangerous area in the city

C) go to other streets that people are not so familiar with

D) go to other streets that are better known

2. In the last paragraph, the writer uses the word "haunts". What is a "haunt"?

A) A place often visited.

B) A ghost.

C) A person who does not like crowded places.

D) A bargain.

3. What is the main advantage of "paperback" compare with "hardbacks"?

A) They are more interesting to read.

B) They are disposable.

0 They can be bought in any bookstore in London.

D) They are cheaper.

4. What is the difference between Charing Cross Road and Farringdon Road from the book buyer's point of

view?

A) The former is more imposing and impressive.

B) The latter is more convenient.

C) The former is less important than the latter.

D) The latter has more books than the former.

5. In the last paragraph, the word sympathetic means "_______".

A) of feeling or showing sympathy

B) in agreement with one's tastes, mood or feelings

C) of great importance

D) showing favor, approval or agreement

Passage 19

The term "Further Education" is the name given, in Britain, to a very broad and diverse range of post-school education. Some is full-time, some is part-time and some is half-and-half with periods at college alternating with periods at work. (These are called "sandwich" courses). There is also a vast and varied provision of evening classes. For many older people, evening study was the only way they could pursue their education and they still think of the institution that provided it as "Night School".

Nowadays, however, the opportunities for Further Education at all levels and for all ages are manifold. The courses provided range from the most elementary, directly vocationally-orientated kind, to those at degree level or beyond. They are provided in a widely differing set of institutions. The majority of the lower level courses, relating mainly to apprenticeship schemes and qualifications, are provided in Colleges of Further Education or

阅读理解训练题（十四） A Friend is better than fortune. Friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences above are opposite and seem to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us to wrong ways. My ideal(理想的) friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below-he has no bad likings, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality(节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characters better than mine. I can follow him as a model. With his help I am free from all difficulties, Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word "failure". 56. This passage tells us __ A. how to make friends with others B. how the writer' s friend helps him C. what kind of person the writer's friend is D what kind of person we should make friends with 57. An ideal friend means A. a true friend B. a false friend C. an imaginary friend D. an excellent friend 58. From the passage we can learn that A. the writer and his ideal friend have a lot to learn from each other B. the writer has a lot to learn from his ideal friend C. the writer's ideal friend has a lot to learn from him D. the writer has only a little to learn from his ideal friend 59. From the second paragraph, we can infer the writer is sure that A. nothing cannot be done with friend B. only the first sentence is reasonable C. he who does not smoke or drink must be a good friend D. good friends should always help each other B Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn't matter where you live--in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village--the chances are that you' 11 be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil - powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they' re working. Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas. One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn't change too much(music, for example) may even help people to concentrate. 60. According to this passage, the noise pollution __ A. has become the worst in the countryside B. has become better in big cities

2014年大学三级阅读理解专项试题及答案解析

大学三级阅读理解专项试题及答案解析 一、Reading Comprehension（共89小题,共90.0分）Directions: After rending the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. 第1题 Most Americans have at least one credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad. And they also make many banking services available. For many of us the "cashless society" is already here. While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-aided marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself. Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to ______ . A withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes B obtain more convenient services than other people do C enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper

公共英语考试《三级》阅读理解练习(1)

公共英语考试《三级》阅读理解练习(1) "Family" is of course an elastic word. And in different countries it has different meanings. Butwhen British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family"in itsnarrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together in their own houseas an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and in-dependent family--hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both man andwoman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty willthen be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financialsupport, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibilityand their alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts oruncles, have any right to interfere with them-they are their own masters. Readers of novels likeJane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times, marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the "parents' duty tofind a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement tolead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected andmaintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in theirgiving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆).

五年级阅读理解练习题（附答案）2012.06.30 《》 小群是个双目失明、失去母亲的苦孩子。他非常热爱这个世界，这都因为父亲就是小群的眼睛。 很小的时候，父亲让小群触摸柔软的凉凉的东西，说：“这是水，可以流动，长江、黄河和大海都是这样的水组成的，水多了便浩荡奔腾，可以发出震耳欲聋的声音。”不久，小群真的由父亲和父亲的一位朋友带到海边去玩，父亲还教会了小群游泳。 难度最大的是向小群解说颜色。小群生下来就面对着一个黑暗的世界，怎么让他理解这个世界的五光十色呢?比方给他解释红色：太阳就是红色的，它发光，能把黑夜变成白昼；它发热，在寒冷的冬天也能把人晒暖和。“我懂了，”小群说，“红色就是让人感到光亮和温暖！”“不全对。”父亲细致地解析，“血也是红色的，但它不会发出什么光来；人血也是温热的，鱼血却是冷的，但鱼血也是红色的。红色并不总同光和热联系在一起。”小群困惑了起来。父亲再作耐心的解析：“发热发光的是太阳，而不是红色；只是太阳能发光发热，同时又是红色的。红色只不过是有视力的人看到的一种颜色。”经过这样的循循善诱，小群才逐渐有所领悟。 以后，( )父亲也这样反复地给小群讲解天空的蓝色，大地的黄色，作物的绿色，( )小群却对同光和热有点联系的红色情有独钟。 渐渐地，小群觉得世界( )陌生黑暗的，( )熟悉多彩的。他懂得世界上有许多用不着看便能感受的事情。可是有一次，小群真生父亲的气了。那次，小群让父亲买个红色的米老鼠书包，当书包买回来小群背着上学的时候，一位阿姨赞赏地对小群说：“小群这个绿色书包可真漂亮！”小群回家便对父亲喊：“爸爸，我让您给我买红书包，您怎么给我买绿色的呢?您知道我看不见便骗我！”说着，小群便哭了起来。 父亲听了，愣住了，半天没吱声，过了好一会儿才为小群擦眼泪，说：“爸爸对不起你，小群……那天买书包时售货员说只剩一个米老鼠的书包，所以绿的也买下了……小群，爸爸是爱你的。”小群感到爸爸用他那慈爱的大手抚摸着自己的脸庞和头发，小群就在那一刻理解了爱！ 时光就这样慢慢地流过，小群读书的成绩越来越好，当小群学会了按摩、能够自食其力的时候，父亲却突发脑溢血去世了。父亲的匆匆离去让小群痛不欲生。小群想，今后谁还能做自己的眼睛呢? 然而，就在给父亲开追悼会的时候，小群听到了一句话，这句话犹如红太阳的光芒照亮了小群的一生。一位叔叔在追悼父亲时说：“他从来没有放弃过追求和奋斗，他对身边的人充满爱心，作为一位双目失明的人，他让我们每一个结识他的人都从他身上汲取了力量和勇气……” 就在这一刹那，父亲对生活、对自己的那份热爱和勇气仿佛一下子全贯注在了自己的身上。“父亲呀，”他默默地祈祷，“我会长出一双明亮的眼睛的，就在我的心上！”
