Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension

Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete sentences. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Strange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.

If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the International Date Line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow. 1. Strange things happen to time when you travel because ______. A. no day really has twenty-four hours B. the earth is divided into time zones C. time zones are not all the same size D. no one knows where time zones begin

5. The International Date Line is the name for ______.

A. the beginning of any new time zone

B. any point where time changes by one hour C. the point where a new day starts D. any time zone in the Pacific Ocean

Passage Two

Listening is an ****municative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what **e next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation, he will fail to get the message.

The skill to anticipate what is coming in **prehension depends largely on the listener\"s familiarity with the theme (主题) of the message. It also depends on the listener\"s knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.

Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier tor us to take in the new information. Therefore, pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing **prehension. Before actual listening, we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for **ing talks or lectures, we are more likely to become effective listeners.

Of course, readiness beforehand is not at all enough. Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead of the speaker. 1. The passage is most possible taken from ______. A. a novel B. a textbook C. a news report D. a fashion magazine 2. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. How to think actively in **prehension.

B. How to develop specific readiness before listening. C. The skills in anticipating in **prehension.

D. The importance of anticipating in **prehension.

3. The skill to anticipate in **prehension depends largely on ______. A. the listener\"s emotion

B. the difficulty of the message

C. the listener\"s communicative skills D. the listener\"s familiarity with the topic

4. In order to anticipate, the first thing to do before actual listening may be ______. A. do some vocabulary work B. think about the topic

C. read some related material D. discuss the topic with others

5. What is the author\"s attitude towards anticipating in **prehension? A. Neutral. B. Positive.

C. Negative. D. Critical.

Passage Three

Everyone is exposed toit, so naturally some people will imitate what they see on TV, what they read in the newspapers and what they witness every day. It is better to prevent violence than to try to stop it. Dentists tell you to brush your teeth to prevent cavities so they won\"t have to fill the cavity later. People and lawmakers all over the world realize this. The next question is, \"How do you prevent violence from happening?\"

To answer this question, you may ask yourself, \"What causes violence?\" Guns are definitely something used in acts of violence, but just about anything will do. Bare hands are often the weapons. What we have to do is to work together as a community and make violence wrong but not to tolerate. We\"ve got to find a better solution than jails, and we\"ve got to do it now. It\"s not something that can wait. The message \"Violence is wrong\" has got to be everywhere you look on TV, on street signs, buses, radio, in every kind of language—English, Spanish, French, Hebrew, you name it, so that it can reach all kinds of people. People need to be cool. Violence needs to be labeled as foolish. It cannot be machismo (大男子气概) and toughness.

We can reach people in all kinds of ways. Little reminders that \"Violence is wrong\" can show up in any way, shape or form: chain letters, a million dollars to anyone who can make a video showing 30 acts of kindness, flyers, newspaper ads, contests in schools, a free TV ad to the most peace-**pany and much more. To do so, lots of people have to be willing to work together and break the cycle.

1. The pronoun \"it\" in the first paragraph refers specifically to ______. A. TV program B. violence C. newspaper articles D. what they see every day 2. What do lawmakers all over the world realize?

A. They realize the importance of brushing teeth every day. B. They realize how important it is to prevent cavities.

C. They realize that it is more important to prevent violence from happening.

D. They realize that trying to stop crime is as important as the prevention of crime. 3. According to the passage, what is the total solution to violence? A. Strict control on the possession of guns. B. Strict sentences.

C. To put those **mit crimes into prison.

D. To make everyone aware that violence is wrong.

4. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to remind people of the concept \"Violence is wrong\"?

A. Ads in newspapers.

B. Three-minute free ads on TV. C. Chain letters.

D. Contests in schools.

5. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. it is urgent to spread the word that violence is wrong

B. willingness to cooperate is the key to the prevention of street crimes C. the author seems to preach non-violence against crimes D. it is difficult to identify the causes of violence
