Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension

Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

If someone is sleepwalking, they are walking around while they are asleep. Sleepwalking happens when a person is not fully asleep but not quite awake. Usually we move from our deepest level of sleep to a lighter level and stay there. Sleepwalkers come right up to wake levels but do not fully awaken. It is at this time that they get up and walk.

The longer a person stays in deep sleep, the more time it takes for the sleep to be broken. That opens up the possibility of being awakened (but not fully) and of sleepwalking.

Sleepwalking happens more often among young people than grown-ups because young people usually have more deep sleep. Up to 7% of 5 to 12-year-olds sleepwalk, while only about 2% of grown-ups sleepwalk. We get less deep sleep as we are getting older and the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced.

Sleepwalking may run in families, too. If one of your parents was a sleepwalker, you have about a 50% possibility of also being a sleepwalker.

41、 This passage is about ______.

A. why sleepwalking happens

B. where sleepwalkers go

C. what sleepwalkers do

D. when sleepwalkers walk

42、 Who has more possibility of sleepwalking? ______

A. Grown-ups.    B. Young people.

C. Old men.    D. Old women.

43、 What does "reduced" mean in "...the possibility of sleepwalking is also reduced" in Paragraph Three? ______

A. Opened up.    B. Cut down.

C. Kept on.    D. Sped up.

44、 People have more possibility of developing sleepwalk ______.

A. when they get older

B. when they become parents themselves

C. if their parents sleep walked

D. if they don't sleep well

45、 This passage may be from ______

A. a story book    B. a travel book

C. a science book    D. a cooking book

Passage Two

Our eating habits are very important for good health and a strong body. There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, either.

A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he was not telling the truth—he was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry, because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.

46、 We had better develop good eating habits if ______.

A. we want to eat more

B. we want to save time

C. we want to be healthy and strong

D. we want to eat less

47、 ______ may take away our appetite before we have our meal.

A. Either meat or rice

B. Both sweets and ice cream

C. Neither sweets nor ice cream

D. Not only meat but also rice

48、 We had better have our meals ______.

A. when our work is over

B. at the same time every day

C. when the meal is being cooked

D. before we go back home

49、 A man who is angry has ______.

A. a poor appetite

B. a better appetite

C. to eat more food

D. to eat dry bread

50、 The judges in old England considered that a man could ______ if he told a lie.

A. swallow dry bread easily

B. drink milk or hot water

C. hardly swallow dry bread

D. eat a lot of dry bread

Passage Three

If we take a close look at successful language learners, we may discover a few techniques which make language learning easier for them.

First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not rely on books or teachers; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain everything, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.

Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.

Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them.

51、 Successful language learners want to learn the language because ______.

A. they have to pass the examination

B. they are interested in it

C. they want to find better jobs

D. they think it is very easy to learn

52、 Successful language learning is active, so successful learners ______.

A. only use the language in class

B. try to avoid using the language

C. wait for a chance to use the language

D. look for a chance to use the language

53、 According to the passage, when successful language learners meet some new words, they usually ______.

A. wait for their teachers to explain them

B. look them up in the dictionary at once

C. try to guess their meaning

D. ask their teachers

54、 Which one of the following statements is TRUE about successful language learners according to the passage? ______

A. They are more intelligent than others.

B. They are learners with a purpose.

C. They have good teachers and good books.

D. They spend much more time learning than others.

55、 What is the purpose of this passage? ______

A. To explain the importance of language learning.

B. To compare language learning with language teaching.

C. To teach people to speak a foreign language.

D. To introduce some useful techniques of language learning.

Passage Four

Do you have a phobia (恐惧症)? Does it spread? No, it is not an infectious (传染的) disease, but it can make you quite as bad. A phobia is an unreasonable fear of some particular thing or situation. Do you know that some people fear heights? That is caned acrophobia. Many people experience claustrophobia when they are in a closed space such as a small room or an elevator. Zoophobia is a fear of animals. There are names for fear of thunder, lightning, wide open spaces, people, crowds, darkness, water, and many other things.

A phobia expert tells us that in the coming of a phobic situation, a person has what is called an "anxiety attack". Blood rushes to his larger muscles in preparation for fight or flight.

One expert on phobia suggests we reduce our fears gradually. A person who is afraid of people could overcome this fear by getting accustomed to them one at a time. Someone who is afraid of water could take swimming lessons in a pool with a lifeguard at hand. A person afraid of heights could practice looking down from middle heights first until he could handle the greater ones.

56、 A person who is afraid of cats is most likely to have ______.
