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 1

What is your favorite color? We are all sensitive to color. There are some colors we like a lot and some we don't like at all. Some colors comfort us, and others excite us; some make us happy, and others make us sad. People are affected by color more than they realize because color is tied to all aspects of our lives.

Experts in colorgenics, the study of the language of color, believe that the colors we wear say a lot about us. Do you know why you select a shirt or dress of a certain color when you look through your clothes in the morning? Colorgenics experts say that we unconsciously choose to wear certain colors in order to communicate our desires, emotions, and needs.

Colorgenics experts claim that our clothes send messages to others about our mood, personality, and desires. Pink expresses the peace and contentment of the wearer. People who often wear pink are supposed to be warm and understanding. The message is that you would like to share your peace and happiness with others.

In conclusion, the study of color can help us to understand ourselves and to improve our lives. It offers an alternative way to heal the body and spirit, and it can help us understand what others are trying to communicate.

61、Why are people affected by color more than they realize? ______

A.Colors make people more sensitive.

Passage 2

Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in 1972. They discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyzes and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain that makes daydreams.

Great artists and great scientists are similar: they both use the two sides of their brain. It is wellknown that Albert Einstein, as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. He got ideas by using his imagination. He then used the left side of his brain to use analysis, number and reason and then he used language to explain it.

Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. In fact, all of us need both sides of our brain. We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy feelings and creative experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live in this world.

It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other but all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have. Nietzsche, the well-known philosopher, said that we add to our knowledge by making conscious the unconscious.

66、According to the passage, ______ of our brain controls our understanding of music.

A.the left side    B.the right side

C.both sides    D.neither side

67、Albert Einstein's example is used to support the idea that ______.

A.all scientific discoveries are based on imagination

B.people should do nothing but daydream

C.using two sides of the brain is important

D.scientists are good at imagining what may happen

68、It is implied in the passage that school education ______.

A.suggests using both sides of the brain

B.finds it very important to have daydreams

C.claims that analysis and reason are of no value

D.fails to develop the right side of the brain

69、What did Nietzsche say about adding to the knowledge we have? ______

A.Learning happens when we are not conscious.

B.Learning happens when we make unconscious decisions.

C.Learning happens when we become aware of things inside us.

D.Learning happens when we think about things logically.

70、The author's attitude towards using two sides of the brain is ______.

A.positive    B.neutral    C.illogical    D.critical

Passage 3

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early age, and never get over them. The main problem lies in language itself—words. Single words have little meaning until they are combined into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He reads one word at a time, often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, or looking back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as one reads.

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called accelerator (加速器), which moves a bar down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate than the reader finds comfortable in order to "stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and vocalization virtually impossible. At first, comprehension is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas, you will not only read faster, but your comprehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skills improved a lot after some training.

71、According to the passage, today many people no longer read for ______.

A.news    B.their work

C.information    D.entertainment

72、Most people can't read and comprehend quickly mainly because ______.

A.they don't read groups of words

B.they don't like to be trained in reading skills

C.they don't realize they have poor reading habits

D.they don't understand words when put together

73、The following are all bad reading habits EXCEPT ______.

A.regression    B.reading for ideas only

C.vocalization    D.word-by-word reading

74、How does an accelerator help people to read? ______

A.It helps people read at a comfortable speed.

B.It makes people stretch their eyes when reading.

C.It forces people to overcome bad reading habits.

D.It lets people look back over what they have just read.

75、What does "At first, comprehension is sacrificed for speed" (Para. 2, Sentence 4) mean? ______

A.The reader reads fast, but he understands everything he reads.

B.The reader reads slowly and he understands everything he reads.

C.The reader reads fast without understanding everything he reads.

D.The reader reads slowly, but he doesn't understand everything he reads.

Passage 4

When the dog named Judy spotted the first sheep in her life, she did what comes naturally. The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff(悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden panicked and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds. Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search.

Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought that she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.

A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.

The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的) but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She might have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. "The dog was very thin and hungry," Steve Tregear said. "She was a very lucky dog. She survived because of a plentiful supply of fresh water," he added.

It was, as Mr. Holden admitted, "a minor miracle(奇迹)".

76、The dog Judy fell down the cliff when she was ______.

A.rescuing her owner    B.caught in a hurricane

C.blocked by a rock    D.running after a sheep

77、Who spotted Judy after the accident? ______

A.A birdwatcher.    B.A student from Leeds.

C.Six volunteers.    D.The coastguard of Cornwall.

78、What can be inferred from the passage? ______

A.People like to travel with their pets.

B.Judy was taken to the fields for hunting.

C.Luck plays a vital role in Judy's survival.

D.Holden cared little where Judy was buried.

79、According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? ______

A.Mr. Holden called the coastguard after his dog fell down the cliff.

B.Judy was strong and healthy when she was found.

C.People thought Judy died after a 90-minute search.

D.Judy survived because she had fresh water and food.

80、The best title for the passage can be ______.

A.A Miracle of the Coastguard

B.Surviving a Hurricane

C.Dangers in the Wild

D.A Narrow Escape

Ⅲ.Translation

Directions: In this part, there is a short passage in English. Read it carefully and translate it into Chinese.

81、How should we react to disasters? I think it is reasonable to face them. No one expects disasters, but if they come, they are there, and we must accept them as they are. In this way, it might be easier for us to recover from the shock they bring to us. Second, we should concentrate on what we can do to relieve the bad effect of the disaster. We can not undo what is done, but we can make things a little better with our efforts. Finally, in the face of disasters, we should help each other and unite to make up the losses caused by the disaster.
