Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension

Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 4 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

Task 1

Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements numbered 36 to 40. 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 center.

It seems obvious that you don't give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band's reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea's music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band plays regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people, they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands, so they will also release the CD into the shops, but making money through sales of their music isn't the top priority.

The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally -- to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006 — an increase of a most 100 percent on the previous year, yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.

This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.

There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases — they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK Mobile operator Three suggested that 75 percent of 16-to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people's disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.

The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy, usually in the form of cheaply copied CD, has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.

It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.

21、What is unusual about The Crimea's business plan? ______

A.Their business was given away free on the Internet.

B.They give CDs away free in shops.

C.They played free concerts.

D.They charged more for their CDs.

22、The Crimea hopes to make money ______.

A.through CD sales

B.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandise

C.by selling merchandise on the Internet

D.through sales of merchandise in shops

23、The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ______.

A.people who attend their concerts need them

B.they want to make extra money

C.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formats

D.people who fail to attend their concerts need them

24、What is true about sales of music over the last year? ______

A.Overall, sales are up on last year.

B.Overall, sales are down on last year.

C.There is no change compared to previous sales.

D.It is not mentioned in the passage.

25、What effect has the Internet had on music piracy? ______

A.It has made it easier to fight piracy.

B.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.

C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.

D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.

Task 2

Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed "the Garden City", almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.

The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression (萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard's idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard's idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.

Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit — Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.

26、How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities? ______

A.Through his observation of the country life.

B.Through the combination of different ideas.

C.By taking other people's advice.

D.By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.

27、The underlined phrase "drawing on" in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.

A.making use of                        B.making comments on

C.giving an explanation of               D.giving a description of

28、According to Howard, garden cities should be built ______.

A.as far as possible from existing cities

B.in the countryside where the land was cheap

C.in the countryside where agriculture was developed

D.near cities where employment opportunities already existed

29、What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph? ______

A.Their number would continue to rise.

B.Each one would continue to become larger.

C.People would live and work in the same place.

D.Each one would contain a certain type of business.

30、What could be the best title for the passage? ______

A.City and Countryside                  B.The Invention of the Garden City

C.A New City in Chicago                D.A Famous Garden City in England

Task 4

Directions: In this part, you are going to read a passage with 5 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs, identify the one from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph no more than once. The 5 statements are numbered 51 to 55. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. You should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

A. When home office computers go down, many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward. Fires, power surges, and floods, they're all facts of life. We read about them in the morning paper and see them on the evening news. We sympathize with the victims and commiserate over their bad luck. We also shake our heads at the digital consequences—melted computers, system failures and destroyed data. Yet, somehow, many of us continue to live by that old mantra of denial: "It won't happen to me." Well, the truth is, at some point you'll probably have to deal with at least one disaster. That's just how it goes, and in most aspects of our lives we do something about it. We buy insurance. We stow away provisions. We even make disaster plans and run drills. But for some reason, computer disaster recovery is a blind spot for many of us. It shouldn't be. Home computers contain some of our most important information, both business and personal, and making certain our data survive a disaster should be a priority. Moreover, even the smallest disaster can be a serious disruption. Personal computers have become an integral part of the smooth-running household. We use them to communicate, shop, and do homework, and they're even more vital to home office users. When home office computers go down, many small businesses grind to a halt. Fortunately, taking steps to recover from disasters and minimize their effects is quite straightforward. With a good offsite storage plan and the right tools, you can bounce back quickly and easily from minor computer disasters. And, should a major calamity strike, you can rest assured your data is safe.

B. House fires and floods are among the most devastating causes of personal computer destruction. That's why a solid offsite backup and recovery plan is essential. Although many home users faithfully backup their hard drives, many would still lose all their data should their house flood or burn. That's because they keep their backups relatively close to their computers. Their backup disks might not be in the same room as their computers — ucked away in a closet or even the garage — but they're not nearly far enough away should a serious disaster strike. So, it's important to back up your system to a removable medium and to store it elsewhere.

C. There are many ways to approach offsite storage. It starts with choice of backup tools and storage medium. Disaster situations are stressful, and your recovery tools shouldn't add to that stress. They must be dependable and intuitive, making it easy to schedule regular backups and to retrieve files in a pinch. They must also be compatible with your choice of backup medium. Depending on your tools, you can back up to a variety of durable disk types from CD's to Jaz drives to remote network servers. Although many of these storage media have high capacity, a backup tool with compression capabilities is a big plus, eliminating the inconvenience of multiple disks or large uploads.

D. Once you select your tools and a suitable medium, you need to find a remote place to store your backups. The options are endless. However, no matter where you choose, be sure the site is secure, easily accessible, and a good distance away from your home. You may also want to consider using an Internet-based backup service. More and more service providers are offering storage space on their servers, and uploading files to a remote location has become an attractive alternative to conventional offsite storage. Of course, before using one of these services, make certain you completely trust these service provider and its security methods. Whatever you do, schedule backups regularly and store them far away from your home.

E. Not all home computer damage results from physical disaster. Many fewer menacing problems can also hobble your PC or destroy your information. Systems crash, kids "rearrange" data, adults inadvertently delete files. Although these events might not seem calamitous, they can have serious implications. So, once again, it's important to be prepared. As with physical disasters, regular backups are essential. However, some of these smaller issues require a response that's more nuanced than wholesale backup and restoration. To deal with less-than-total disaster, your tool set must be both powerful and agile. For example, when a small number of files are compromised, you may want to retrieve those files alone. Meanwhile, if just your settings are affected, you'll want a simple way to roll back to your preferred setup. Yet, should your operating system fail, you'll need a way to boot your computer and perform large-scale recovery. Computer crises come in all shapes and sizes, and your backup and recovery tools must be flexible enough to meet each challenge. Life's disasters, large and small, often catch us by surprise. However, with a little planning and the right tools, you can reduce those disasters to bumps in the road. So, don't wait another day. Buy a good set of disaster recovery tools, set up an automatic backup schedule, and perform a dry run every now and again. Then, rest easy.

36、You can stage a comeback quickly and easily from minor computer disasters with the help of a good offsite storage plan and the right tools.

37、When choosing backup tools and storage medium, you'd better choose one with compression capabilities so as to remove the inconvenience of numerous disks or heavy uploads.

38、The backup and recovery tools must be flexible enough to deal with various computer crises.

39、You should find a distant place to store your backups after you have selected your tools and a suitable medium.

40、People may lost all their data easily in their house flood or burn because they are used to keeping their backups close to their computers.
