Part II Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
The potential of closed-circuit television and other electronic teaching tools is so great that it is inspiring to imagine “the school of tomorrow”
Televised lessons will be given in a central building having perhaps four or five master studios. The lessons will be carried into classrooms all over a city, or even an entire country.
After a televised lesson has been given, the classroom teacher will take over for the all important “follow-up” period. The students will ask any troublesome questions, and difficult points will be cleared up through discussion.
The teacher in the classroom will have Additional electronic tools on the teacher’s desk; the traditional bright red apple will have been replaced by a multiple-control panel and magnetic tape players. The tape machines will run pre-recorded lessons which pupils will follow by head-phones. The lessons will be specifically connected closely to the student’s level of ability. For instance, while the class as a whole studies history, each student will receive an individual history lesson directed to his particular level of ability
Should questions arise, the students will be to talk directly to the teacher on individual “intercoms” without disturbing the rest of the class. In this way, the teacher will be able to conduct as many as three classes at the same time.

Passage 2
In spite of the strong opposition to new and stricter environmental laws, however, it is still possible to attack the problem of chemical pollution; but we must attack it from three directions. First, we need more independent research into the effects of chemicals by scientists who are not paid by the government or by large industrial companies. Second, scientists need to educate the general public and inform them about the dangers of chemicals in the environment. If the public knows that a certain chemical threatens the health of their children, then it will put pressure on politicians in local and national governments. If the politicians want to remain in office, they will take action to correct the situation. Third, economists need to educate governments about the long-term economic costs of chemicals. It will be extremely expensive to clean areas of land which are contaminated(污染)by chemicals; it will be even more costly to give medical treatment to people who are suffering from serious illnesses after exposure to dangerous chemicals. If governments realize this, the short-term economic benefits of chemicals will seem much less attractive to them.
If we can put pressure on governments in these three ways, perhaps they will begin to behave more responsibly. They will perhaps pass new laws against pollution and enforce them strictly. Perhaps, then, the chemical producers will begin to behave more responsibly.
6. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage? D
A) The Environment in Danger. B) The Problem of Chemical Pollution.
C) New and Strict Environmental Laws. D) Possible Solutions to Chemical Pollution.
7. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage?
C
A) Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.
B) A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized.
C) A general statement is given and possible ways are presented.
D) Recent scientific advancements are outlined in order of importance.
8. Which of the following is true of the governments mentioned in the passage? C
A) They are already behaving in an extremely responsible way.
B) They do not believe that it is possible to solve the chemical pollution.
C) They think chemicals do little harm to the health of humans.
D) They are unwilling to stop the use of certain chemicals.
9. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? B
A) The economy is more important to governments than the people’s health is.
B) Governments think chemicals bring them more economic benefits than economic costs.
C) The public knows enough about the dangers of chemical pollution.
D) The governments fully realize the long-term economic costs of chemical pollution.
10. According to the passage, what will happen if the governments stop the use of some chemicals? A
A) The economy of the countries will suffer.
B) Unemployment in the countries will grow.
C) Some people and scientists will criticize them.
D) The chemical producers will strongly protest.
Passage 3
The accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientist’s time-keeping methods. For this reason, scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise time-keeping.
In their search for precision, scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their “ticking”. This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration. Atom on ammonia, for example, vibrates or “ticks” 24 billion times a second.
One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose no more than a second in 3000years. It will be of great important in fields such as astronomical observation and long range navigation. The heart of this Atomichron is a cesium atom that vibrates 9.2billiontimes a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water.
An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to check the accuracy of predictions based on Einstein’s relativity theories, according to which a clock in motion and a clock at rest should keep time differently. Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of 18,000 miles an hour, the clock could broadcast its time reading on a similar model. Whatever differences develop would be checked against the differences predict.
11. The selection says that the accuracy of scientific observation depends on B .
A) methods of measurement
B) time keeping methods
C) basic assumptions D) earlier experiments
12. Atomic clocks difference according to D .
A) function B) the type of molecule or atom used
C) the rate of vibration D) both b and c
13. The Atomichron will be used in A .
A) making astronomical observation B) broadcasting
C) measuring vibration rates D) all of the above
14. From the selection, we may assume that temperature changes B .
A) affect only ammonia molecules
B) may affect the vibration rate of atoms
C) affect the speed at which atoms travel
D) do not affect atoms in any way
15. An appropriate title for this selection would be A .
A) A Peacetime Use of the Atom B) Atoms and Molecules
C) The Satellite Timekeeper D) The Role of the Clock
Passage 4
The development of Jamestown in Virginia during the second half the seventeenth century was closely related to the making and the use of bricks. There are several practical reasons why bricks become important to the colony.
Although the forests could initially supply sufficient timber, the process of lumbering(采伐) was extremely difficult, particularly because of the lack of roads.
Later, when the timber on the peninsular (半岛) had been depleted (耗尽)，wood had to be brought from some distance. Building stone was also in short supply. However, as clay was plentiful. It was inevitable that the colonists should turn to brick—making.
In additional to practical reason for using brick as the principal construction material, there was also an ideological reason. Brick represented durability and permanence. The Virginia Company of London instructed the colonists to build hospitals and new residences out of brick.
In 1662, the Town Act of the Virginia Assembly provided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildings and prohibited the use of wood as a construction material. Had this law ever been successfully en forced, Jamestown would have been a model city. Instead, the residents failed to comply fully with the law; and by 1699 Jamestown had collapsed into a pile of rubble with only three or four habitable houses.
16. In the first half of 1600’s. most buildings in Jamestown were probably C .
A) earth B) stone C) wood D) brick
17. which of the following was NOT a reason for using brick in construction? D
A) Wood had to be brought from some distance.
B) There was considerable clay available.
C) The lumbering process depended on good roads.
D) The timber was not of good quality.
18. It can be inferred from the passage hat settlers who built with bricks in the 1600’s were B .
A) planning to return to England
B) obeying the laws
C) not concerned about durability
D) interested in large residences
19. It can be inferred from the passage that prior to the action of the Virginia Company of London, Jamestown had an insufficient number of B .
A) colonists B) medical facilities C) clay sources D) bricklayers
20. According to be passage, what eventually happened to Jamestown? A
A) It was practically destroyed. B) It became a model city.
C) It remained the seat of government. D) It was almost completed.
Passage 5
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught——to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what his word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
21. According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by C .
A) asking older people many questions
B) 1istening to skilled people’s advice

A) allow children to learn from each other
B) point out children’s mistakes whenever found
C) correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible
D) give children more book knowledge
24. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are A .
A) different from learning other skills B) the same as learning other skills
C) not really important skills D) more important than other skills
25. The best title of this passage could probably be B .
A) Let Children Correct Their Exercises B) Let US Make Children
C) Learn Let Us Teachers Stop Work D) Let Children Learn By Themselves
Passage 6
At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the ice age and, until recent times, unknown to men. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges(山脉) whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man bas explored, on foot, less than one percent of its area.
Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is a ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed(包围) in by the land masses of Europe, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed(无限制的，不受阻挡的)water areas of the world---the Atlantic , Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre; the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Acrylic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia--- a region rich in forest and mining industry. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry or settlement.
26. The best title for this selection would be C .
A) Iceland B) Land of Opportunity
C) The Unknown Continent D) Utopia at Last
27. At the time this article was written, our knowledge of Antarctic was A .
A) very limited B) vast
C) fairly rich D) nonexistent
28. The Antarctic is bordered by the D .
A) Pacific Ocean B) Indian Ocean
C) Atlantic Ocean D) All three
29. The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by A .
A) cold air B) calm seas C) ice
D) lack of knowledge about the continent
30. According to this article C .
A) 2,000 people live on the Antarctic Continent
B) a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South Pole
C) weather conditions within a 2,000 miles radius of the South Pole make settlements impractical
D) only a handful of native inhabit Antarctica

Passage 8
Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted one.
Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by travelling in, or living in, a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!
Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.

A) distorted B) normal
C) similar to each other
D) different from its own
37. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will C .
A) find out what its people are like
B) argue in favor of this country and the language

B) gathered from other sources than (from) its inhabitants
C) gained from the arguments about the country
D) different from what one had before the travel

A) will gradually disappear because of ease of travel
B) do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alike

Passage 9
While it’s true that women love shopping for clothes, the same cannot be said for shopping in supermarkets, which is for most people a stressful experience involving queues and a lot of frustration.
Last Saturday was typical. My husband’s boss was coming to dinner and I had planned what I thought was an impressive three-course meal. I set off from the local supermarket early, hoping to avoid the queues, only to find that everyone had had the same idea. It took 15 minutes to park and then, just when I thought I could start some serious shopping, I found I didn’t have the one-pound coin I needed to release a trolley, which meant I had to join a long queue inside to get some change. Not a good start.
But think positive. Once in the shop, things went well until the fruit and vegetables section, which had no asparagus, my starter course for the dinner party. This meant I would have to go to another supermarket after this one, as the supermarkets had caused the two greengrocers in town to close down. The same thing happened in the diary section, which, at over a hundred yards long, had every dairy product on the planet except the one I needed. I would have to buy that at the next supermarket too. By now, my trolley had decided to misbehave, and was going in every direction but the one I was pointing it in, making me look an idiot.
Nonetheless, I made it to the checkout tills. I joined one of the extremely long queues and the cashier had just started putting my shopping through when her till jammed. “You’ll have to go to another till,” she said, unapologetically. It took another 20 minutes to get out of the supermarket and another ten to get out of the car park – the queues, see.
41. In the writer’s opinion, ___C_____.
A) shopping makes people feel anxious.
B) women only enjoy shopping for clothes.
C) supermarket shopping isn’t enjoyable.

42. What does the word “Trolley” probably mean? B
A) A small cupboard that can be locked, where you can leave your clothes, bags, etc.
B)A small vehicle with wheels that can be pushed or pulled along and is used for carrying things.
C) A small plastic card that you can use to buy goods and services and pay for them later.
D) An animal that people keep for pleasure.
43. Why does the woman have to go to another supermarket? C
A) Because the local greengrocers didn’t have what she needed.
B) Because the diary section in another supermarket was bigger.
C) Because she wanted to buy two items that she needed.
D) Because she was reluctant to join the long queue.
44. At the checkout tills ____D____.
A) the woman queued for 20 minutes.
B) the woman decided to go to another checkout before she reached the cashier.

C) queued for three-quarters of an hour
D) joined two queues because of her own mistake
Passage 10
In these days of technological triumphs, it is well to remind ourselves from time to time that living mechanisms are often incomparably more efficient than their artificial imitations. There is no better illustration of this idea than the sonar (声纳) system of bats. It is billions of times more efficient and more sensitive than the radars and sonars designed by man.
Of course, the bats have had some 50 million years of evolution to refine their sonar.Their physiological mechanisms for echo location, based on all this accumulated experience, therefore deserve our thorough study and analysis.
To appreciate the precision of the bats' echo locatton, we must first consider the degree of their reliance upon it. Thanks to sonar, an insect - eating bat can get along perfectly well without eyesight. This was brilliantly demonstrated by the Italian naturalist Lazzaro Spallanzani.He caught some bats in a bell tower, blinded them. and released them outdoors. Four of these blind bats were recaptured ,after they had found their ways back to the bell tower,and on examining their stomachs’ contents, Spallanxani found that they had been able to capture and eat flying insects. We know from experiments that bats easily find insects in the dark of night, even when the insects make no sound that can be heard by human ears. A bat will catch hundreds of softbodied silent flying insects in a single hour. It will even detect and chase pebbles ( 卵石 ) tossed ( 向上扔) into the air.
46. According to the author, the sonar system of bats is an example of the idea that C .
A) this is the age of technological triumphs
B) modern machines are inefficient
C) living mechanisms are often more efficient than man - made machines
D) artificial imitations are always less efficient than living mechanisms
47. The author suggests that the sonar system of bats B .
A) was at the height of its perfection 50 million years ago
B) is better than man- .made sonar because it has had 50 million years to be refined
C) should have been discovered by man many years ago
D) is the same as it was 50 million years ago
48. Echo location in this article means the D .
A) location of echoes
B) ability to determine where an echo comes from
C) scientific term for sound waves
D) ability to locate unseen objects by echoes
49. This article was written to illustrate ____D____.
A) the deficiencies of man - made sonar
B) the dependence of man upon animals
C) that we are living in a machine age
D) that the sonar system of bats is remarkable
50. The following is the main point of the article: B
A) A bat will catch hundreds of insects in a single hour
B)There is a perfection in nature which sometimes can not be matched by man's creative efforts.
C) The phrase "blind as a bat"is valid.
D) Sonar and radar systems of man are inefficient.

When people search online,they leave a trail that remains stored on the central computers of firms such as Google,Yahoo and Microsoft．Analyzing what we're looking for on the Web can offer a remarkable 51insight of our anxieties and enthusiasms．
UK writer John Battelle wrote on his blog,"This can tell us 52extraordinary things about who we are and what we want as a 53culture．"
Google's experimental service Google Trends,for example,compares the numbers of people searching for different words and phrases from 2004 to the present．
According to these graphs,sometimes people's interests are driven obviously 54 driven by the latest news：when the Spice Girls,a pop group,announce a reunion,there's an immediate 55rush to find out more about them．Other results are strikingly seasonal：people go shopping online for coats in winter and sandals(凉鞋)in summer．
The most fascinating possibility is that search data might help 56predict behavior．When we search online for a certain brand of stereo system,we are surely indicating we are more 57likely to buy that brand.
Perhaps we search for a political candidate's name when we are thinking about 58voting for him or her．Maybe we even search for stock market crash just before we start 59withdrawing from our investments.This information could clearly be useful to a marketer-it's already how Google decides which 60 advertizements to show on its search results pages–or to a political campaign manager．

1.Some people live to work.有些人活着为了工作
2.Other people work to live.有些人工作为了活着
3.Your opinion.
Why We Work
When we live in the world,we all work for some reasons or other.Different people have different attitudes towards work.Some people live to work.They devote themselves to their work.The aim for which they work is to realize the value of life,to promote the development of society and to make more people live a happy life.They make great contributions to society and at the same time they also find pleasure in their work.
On the other hand,other people work to live.They regard work as a way of making a living.The purpose for which they work is to kill time or to make enough money to support themselves and their families.They often regard work as what they have to do.So they can’t obtain pleasure and enjoyment from their work.Such people,once they can afford to support themselves and their families,perhaps quit their work.
In my opinion,we shouldn’t go to extremes.Since we are members of society,we should do what we can to better the society so that we can live in a more comfortable and more convenient surrounding.Good life is an assurance of smooth work.Only when we realize this can we live happily and work well.

1.有人认为某些数字会带来好运，
2、有些人认为数字与好运无关，
3、你的观点是什么?
Do"Lucky Numbers"Really Bring Good Luck
Some people take it for granted that some lucky numbers can bring them good luck.For instance,the so-called lucky number 8 is widely used now because it sounds like"getting rich"in Chinese and is believed to bring good fortune.
Yet many others don’t think this way.They believe that numbers have nothing to do with luck.They regard numbers simply as mathematic symbols for counting.They are anything but a mystery.They laugh at those who think numbers can bring good luck.
As for me,I’m in favor of the latter opinion.I think our society is very modern now.We mustn’t count on the so-called lucky numbers to fulfill our wishes.Whether we can have good luck or not depends on ourselves.If we work hard,good luck will come to us.

1.关于考试人们众说纷纭，有人认为考试时一种好的检测方式，有人认为考试并不能检测人的真是能力，简单谈一下你的观点。
Examinations
There are many arguments about examination.Some people think it is a good way to test how examinees have mastered what they have studied and it is an effective way to choose among candidates.So,as a traditional and popular method,it is widely accepted.
However,in some people’s opinion,it is not the most scientific way to test a person’s ability.To some students,examination means nothing but anxiety and heavy burdens.What is more,teachers’judgments can’t always be impartial.All these will cause frustration to examinees and provoke their strong negative attitude towards examination.
As for me,although the content of examination can hardly cover all the knowledge an examinee has grasped and the result of an examination may show only part of a person’s ability,its function should not be totally ignored.Its basic function is just like a mirror—it reflects both examinees and examiners.Both of them can check their work and learn how to improve it.Of course,there is a long way to go before we could find a simpler and more effectiveway of judging a person’s ability.

1．吃快餐食品可以节约时间；
2．但有些快餐食品不健康；
3．谈谈你的看法。
Fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s and KFC provide food served within a few minutes.Therefore,many people,especially those who are busy with their work,would choose fast food in order to save time.
But we should also be aware that some kinds of fast food are not so healthy.They are usually fried or overcooked,and therefore increase the risk people of getting overweight.It may even cause some diseases.
In my opinion,when we are really running out of time,fast food is a good choice to avoid hunger and make us return to work with some energy.At the same time,eating fast food should not become a long-term habit so health problems will not arise.

1.有些人觉得中国人全民学英语没必要；
2.有人认为掌握一门外语就多了一项技能；
3.谈谈你的看法。
Nowadays it is a trend for Chinese to learn English.Without certain certificates showing their English ability,it may be hard even to find a job,even though most jobs have nothing to do with English.For some,it is a waste of time and resources for so many people to learn English.
On the other hand,it is believed that grasping a foreign language means obtaining a useful skill,which could make a person be able to fulfill more jobs and demands in the society.
To me,the most time-consuming task for students in China is learning English.They have to spend a lot of precious time reading,memorizing words,and doing exercises.To them,the only meaning in English learning is to deal with tests.Therefore,it is not necessary for all the people to learn English.

1．越来越多的家庭拥有私家车
2．私家车的增多带来很多问题
3．你对此的看法
Private cars are no longer a sign of luxury in most cities in China.More and more families could afford at least one private car,which make their lives more convenient and wonderful.Therefore the number of cars on road keeps increasing year by year.
This trend is undoubtedly a positive sign of a wealthier population.Yet the side effects of it appear at the same time.The cities are becoming more crowded,the air is seriously polluted and the noise is very disturbing.
The government should persuade people to choose public transportation and special measures could be taken to control the amount of cars on road.After all,convenience should not be realized by destroying the environment people live in.

1)计算机被人们广泛使用；
2)计算机既有好的影响也有坏的影响；
3)我的看法。
Positive and Negative Effects of Computer
With the rapid development of information technology,computers play more and important part in our daily life.Nowadays,it has paid more people attentions than before.Different people have different attitudes.
Most people think that computers have positive effects on us.Firstly,it can enrich our horizon.We can obtain more knowledge and get more information about the world.Secondly,it can make our office work efficient.Instead of these paper,pencil,ruler,calculator and so on,now we can deal with the files,cartographies,tables by a computer.
It goes without saying that every coin has two sides,so does computers.Many teenagers become so addicted to computer games or online chat that they ignore their study.Some of them even do not go to school instead of go to the Internet cafes.
As far as I am concerned,the positive effects of computer are important as the negative effects.Therefore,we should make good use of computers and let them do well to people and make our life wonderful.
