Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (2×20)
Directions: There
are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or
incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C,
and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding
letter on the ANSWER SHEET.
Passage 1
A library is more
than just a place where books are stored. A library is a source of information.
That information may come from books (fiction, nonfiction, or reference books),
from periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and journals), from audio-visual
materials (records, cassettes, microfilm, video tapes, etc. ), or even from a
computer terminal.
Students go to libraries to study and to write research
papers. The periodicals room of a university library is where foreign students
often find newspapers and magazines from their countries. In the reference room,
they can find catalogs from many universities in the U.S. and other countries.
If you are buying a used car, the reference librarian can show you the Blue
Book, which lists the prices of new and used cars. People who need information
in a hurry can telephone the reference librarian at many libraries.
There are
as many different library services as there are types of people who use them.
Children’s libraries provide materials for young readers. They sometimes have
story tellers who read stories to groups of children, and a few have computers
for the children to play with. Music lovers can listen to recordings of their
favorite musicians in music libraries. Some libraries offer special services for
blind people, such as books in Braille, “talking” books, and Kurzweil Reading
Machines.
Libraries provide entertainment as well as information. Novels and
short stories from a library’s fiction collection are a good source of enjoyable
reading practice. Public libraries often sponsor lectures on topics of interest
to members of the community, and a few even offer concerts and films. No matter
what your interests are, you will find that a library can be a great place to
enjoy yourself while you learn.
41. In libraries,readers can get information
from _________ .
A. computer terminal, books, periodicals or nonfiction

books, periodicals, audio-visual materials or video tapes

Passage 2
The scope of
mankind’s activities has experienced expansion from land to ocean, from ocean to
atmosphere, and from atmosphere to outer space. Space technology, which emerged
in the 1950s, opened up a new era of man’s exploration of outer space.
Having
developed rapidly for about half a century, mankind’s space activities have
scored remarkable achievements, greatly promoted the development of social
productivity and progress, and produced profound and far-reaching effects.
Space technology has turned out to be one field of high technology that exerts
the most profound influence on modern society. The continuous development and
application of space technology has become an important endeavor in the
modernization drive of countries all over the world.
The Chinese nation
created a glorious civilization in the early stage of mankind’s history. The
gunpowder “rocket” invented by ancient Chinese was the embryo of modern space
rockets. After the People’s Republic of China was founded in 1949, China carried
out space activities on its own, and succeeded in developing and launching its
first man-made satellite in 1970. China has made eye-catching achievements, and
now ranks among the world’s most advanced countries in some important fields of
space technology. In the 21st century, China will continue to promote the
development of its space industry in the light of its national situation, and
make due contribution to the peaceful use of outer space, and to the
civilization and progress of mankind.
46. Space technology emerged _________

Passage 3
There are two types of people in the world. Although
they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one
becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. This arises from the different ways
in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects
upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the
conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared
dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the
cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the
contrary things. Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks,
they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves
disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such
unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.
The tendency to criticize and
be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit,
unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when
those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and
tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them
change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination,
it has serious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad
luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them
with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that. This
frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at
obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor
will anyone speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves
public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them. These people should
change this bad habit. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any
contact with them.
51. People who are to be unhappy _________ .
A. always
consider things differently from others
B. are usually influenced by the
results of certain things
C. can discover the unpleasant part of certain
things
D. usually have a fault-finding habit
52. When those unhappy people
meet others, they will _________ .
A. have a good taste of the pleasures of
society
B. feel depressed about the pleasures of society
C. be happy with
the pleasures of society
D. enjoy the pleasures of society
53. According
to the passage, it can be safely said that _________ .
A. if they realize
the harmfulness of their habits the unhappy people may get rid of it
B. if
people are in misery, they will be critical about everything
C. we should not
pity these unhappy people for their self-criticism
D. these unhappy people
are not content with anything they have
54. “And scarcely that” in the last
paragraph means _________ .
A. just like that B. almost not like
that
C. more than that D. not at all like that
55. lf such
unhappy persons don’t change their bad behavior, the authors suggests that
people _________ .
A. avoid contact with them
B. criticize their
misconduct
C. help them recognize its bad effects
D. show no respect and
politeness to them
Passage 4
Farmers often
feel they need a lot of sunshine to produce a good crop. But lots of vegetables
grow well without much sun.
The Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania published a
report about this subject some years ago in its magazine Organic Gardening. The
report said many different kinds of foods, from blueberries to beans, can be
grown in the shade.
Some vegetables do need a lot of sun. A vegetable crop
expert at the University of Maine advised putting these vegetables where they
can get from eight to ten hours of sunlight a day. Tomatoes, melons, squash and
peppers are among those that need the most sun. Plants that produce root crops,
such as carrots and beets (甜菜), need from six to eight hours of sunlight every
day. But leafy vegetables, such as lettuce (莴苣) and spinach, need only six hours
of sunlight a day. Nut trees such as filbert(榛子) and yellow horn produce well
with only sun in the morning.
Some fruits also do well without a lot of
sunlight. In the United States, blueberries , raspberries (树莓), and several
kinds of pears need only a little sun each day. In Asia, the hardy kiwi grows
well in the shade. Many herbs (香草) grow well without much sun. Mint (薄荷)
plants, for example, grow well in the shade. So do sage, dill, oregano, borage,
chamomile and several kinds of thyme.
The Rodale Institute says a garden
should be planned carefully especially if you grow different kinds of foods. For
example, rows of vegetables should be planted in an east-west direction. That
way, as the sun passes overhead, all the plants will receive an equal amount of
light. This is especially important when the plants grow to different
heights.
The owner of a garden seed company warned against removing shade
trees. He cut down all his shade trees to provide more sun for his crops. But
then he had to protect his summer lettuce from the heat of the sun by hanging a
piece of cloth to provide shade. Instead of cutting trees, he suggested putting
plants that need a lot of sunlight, such as tomatoes, in containers. That way
they can be moved as the sun moves.
56. What does“ Organic Gardening” mainly
publish?
A. Something related to human organs.
B. Articles on how to grow
plants organically.
C. Articles on how to play organ.
D. Articles on how
to arrange the garden in an organic way.
57. How many hours of sunlight does
potato probably need one day?
A. Ten hours. B. Nine hours.
C.
Seven hours. D. Five hours.
58. Among the following plants, which
may not need sunlight at all?
A. Walnut. B. Water melon.
C.
Raspberry. D. Borage.
59. Why should the vegetables be planted in
an east-west direction?
A. All the plants in the garden can obtain the same
amount of sunlight.
B. The plants which do not need much sunlight can be
shaded.
C. It is good for different vegetables to get the same
nutrition.
D. It is easy for you to arrange the garden in this way.
60.
According to the passage, which statement is true?
A. To provide more sun for
the plants, trees in the garden should be removed.
B. To get more sunlight,
melons may be planted in movable containers.
C. The owner of a seed company
planted tomatoes in containers.
D. Being planted in containers, plants can
get enough sunlight.
