Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

This part is to test your reading ability. There are two sections in it.

Section 1

Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. After each passage there are 5 questions. Such question is followed by four answers marked A、B、C and D. Choose the best answer to the question and blacken the corresponding letter Answer Sheet.

Mobile phones have become a part of everyone's life. Most people have at least one mobile phone. And every month, new models appear in the stores. They offer exciting new features like cameras, MP3 players and the ability to connect with the Internet. Now mobile phone users can do more on the Internet than ever before. They are able to do almost all the things on their mobile phones that they used to do on their computers. Moreover, some mobile phones now have voice recognition software, so people do not even have to use the buttons on their phones. They can simply tell their phones what they want to see or do.

One problem with mobile phones is that they have small screens. However, this problem could be solved in the future by making phones that project pictures and movies onto a wall or a sheet of paper. Mobile phones will also be used with "e-paper" (large screens that can be folded and easily stored and carried) as well as personal video screens that look like pairs of sunglasses.

As you can see, the mobile phone has a promising future, and its features will change in ways that we cannot even imagine.

26、 Which of the following is NOT an exciting new feature of today's mobile phones? ______

A. Cameras              B. MP3 players          C. CD players            D. Internet connection

27、 ______ allows people to tell their phones what they want to see or do.

A. An overhead projector                        B. A personal video screen

C. A button on the phone                        D. Voice recognition software

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. For many centuries, Mars has also been called the" Red Planet". Ancient Greeks and Romans thought of Mars as the god of war. Some people imagined that Mars was like the Earth and inhabited with many strange creatures.

Galileo was the first person to view Mars through a telescope. As telescopes improve, astronomers find that the red planet is about half as big as the Earth. From 1965 through 1972, the American Mariner series of robot spacecraft took many close-up television images of Mars. In 1976 two American spacecraft arrived on the Martian surface. Each carried two color television cameras, a 3-meter-long retractable (可伸缩的) arm, a small laboratory, and other instruments. They helped scientists discover exciting new knowledge about Mars.

Mars is mostly a vast desert with immense mountains, extremely deep canyons, and enormous dust storms. Ice covers the Martian polar-regions, and buried ice exists in other areas. Some regions can get warm, but a -60℃ is the average Martian temperature.

Some scientists believe a global warming gas could be produced on Mars. This gas could help to warm the cold red planet and make it more like the Earth.

The future is full of exciting changes, and some day Mars will have human explorers colonists, and tourists hiking across its surface. Maybe one of these people will be you.

31、 Which of the following is not true according to the passage? ______

A. Mars is like the Earth.

33、 You'll find all the following on Mars EXCEPT ______.

An early attempt to find a technological breakthrough for high speed rail travelling China was the Shanghai Maglev, which opened to the public in 2004. As the first commercial magnetic levitation(磁悬浮) train in the world, it connects Shanghai's Pudong International Airport with the Shanghai subway system, traveling a distance of 30 kilometers in 8 minutes, at speeds as high as 430 kilometers per hour. It is the fastest commercially operated train anywhere in the world.

China now has two more maglevs. One in Changsha and the other in Beijing However, both of these only cover short distances and the trains travel at speeds of around i00 kilometers per hour, which is not much faster than trains on many conventional rail lines.

Apart from the complex technical and safety issues involved with maglev trains. Another big drawback with having a maglev line appears to be the high cost. Thus although maglev technology will continue to be used in the future-a train that is capable of reaching speeds of 600 kilometers per hour is being developed-the focus has been on the conventional, off-the-shelf technology in the development of China's high speed rail network.

44、 Which of the following is NOT a drawback with building a maglev line? ______

A. Cost                 B. Safety                C. Speed                D. Technology

Why is hot pot so popular in China? It shows the Chinese cultural values of openness and sharing. With a hot pot, you can put in any ingredient that you like: vegetables as well as meat. The same pot can serve any number of different meals to the people sitting around the table. No one is left out, and everyone gets to eat as much-or as little-as they want.

Hot pot creates a cozy, warm atmosphere and really brings people together as you sit around a pot, cooking, eating, talking, and relaxing. The food is important but also important are the feels.

In China, people like to joke that there is no problem that a hot pot can't solve. The fire from the hot pot can meh just about any icy disagreement and warm just about any heart. Over a hot pot people can talk and share not just food, but friendship. While the food may soon be forgotten, these friendships stay with us forever.
