Part II Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some 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 your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

When we can see well, we do not think about our eyes often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.

People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing and reading, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.

People who are farsighted face just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.

Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy because of cataracts. Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

When night falls, colors become fainter to the eyes and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the side of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn your head in its direction. This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they cannot see it any more, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eye after dark.

36.We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until ______.

A. we think about our eyes

B. we cannot see clearly

C. we wear glasses

D. we have to do much reading

37.According to the passage, a ______ is more likely to be nearsighted.

A. tailor

B. doctor

C. guard

D. painter

38.People who are farsighted ______.

A. cannot do a lot of close work without glasses

B. can only see things that are very close to their eyes

C. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at arm’s length

D. have the same problem as the nearsighted people

39.To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ______.

A. with wide open eyes

B. with half shut or narrowed eyes

C. straight at it

D. in a slightly different direction

40.Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Nearsightedness and Farsightedness.

B. The Use of Glasses.

C. Eye Problems.

D. The Importance of Eyes.

Passage 2

Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma (文凭) or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.

Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives these adults a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.

Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.

Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There are usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.

Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.

Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.

41.The new idea about education in U.S. is that ______.

A. everyone should get a college degree

B. it’s no use for adults to go to college

C. a high school diploma is the end of education

D. adults should go on learning after graduating from school

42.What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?

A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.

B. Catch the opportunity to get a higher degree.

C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.

D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.

43.Which of the following statement is true?

A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.

B. Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.

C. People take continuing education classes for different reasons.

D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.

https://www.doczj.com/doc/c28807216.html,ually, the continuing education program is given ______.

A. in a small size and expensively

B. only for working people

C. only in community buildings or churches

D. by community colleges and public schools

45.The best title for the passage would be ______.

A. Continuing Education Classes

B. The Importance of a College Degree

C. A Good Way to Earn More Money

D. Different Choices for Adults

Passage 3

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.

Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-ma il to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees --- anywhere at all!

Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.

At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving stud ents a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

46.The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ______.

A. use for their schoolwork

B. access the Internet

C. work at home

D. connect them to libraries

47.Why i s the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?

A. They don’t really talk.

B. They use the computer language.

C. Laptops have speakers.

D. None of the above reasons is correct.

48.Which of the following is true about Westlake College?

A. All teachers use computers.

B. 1500 students have laptops.

C. It is an old college in America.

D. Students there can do everything.

49.“A window on the world” in the last paragraph means that students can ______.

A. attend lectures on information technology

B. travel around the world

C. get information from around the world

D. have free laptops

50.What can we infer from the passage?

A. The program is successful.

B. The program is not workable.

C. The program is too expensive.

D. We don’t know the result yet.

Passage 4

Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have, but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food, get enough sleep, and exercise regularly.

Proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. Don’t eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质), like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don’t overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight.

Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don’t get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.

Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.

If everybody were to eat the right food, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.

51.According to the passage, ______.

A. we should always keep fit

B. if we were healthy, we could spend our days in doing things with less sleep

C. one can eat a lot to stay in good shape

D. one needn’t take any exercise if he is healthy

52.In order to keep good health, ______.

A. we should eat a lot of sweets

B. we need a large amount of fat

C. we should eat according to the foods nutrition

D. we must try to sleep now and then

53.Eating more and sleeping less ______.

A. can keep you healthy

B. is no good for you

C. gives you more energy

D. will keep your personality

54.The writer explains ______ in this passage.

A. how to eat

B. the importance of doing exercise

C. how to keep healthy

D. what to eat

55.The title of the article should be ______.

A. Eating and Exercising

Model Test One Part I Writing (30 minutes) Directions: In this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should Universities Help Students for Employment? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below: 1大学主就业形势越来越严峻,使人们开始思考人学教育的功能问题 2大学是否应该为学生提供就业帮助,我认为…… 3对大学教育功能问题的总结 Passage One Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. Most people with allergies consider them a nuisance at best while more serious cases can be life-threatening, the scientists now claim that they have an upside? Hay fever and eczema(湿疹)could be your body^s defense against cancer. Allergy symptoms, like sneezing or a runny nose, get rid of foreign particles in the air, which may be capable of causing cancer, the researchers say. They may also act as a warning that alerts us to know when there are damaging substances in the air that should be avoided? In fact, lead researchers Paul Sherman, from Cornell University in New York, and his team warned that taking drugs to suppress allergies could be a bad idea. Experts have long suspected that allergies may be linked to cancer, but until now the evidence has been unconvincing. Some studies found that cancer patients were less likely to have allergies, while other trials found the opposite. In the latest study, Sherman and his team examined the results of almost 650 studies performed over the past five decades? Overall, cancer patients had fewer allergies than people free of cancer, they reported?They association was the strongest for people with cancers that come into contact with materials outside the body, such as skin cancer and cancer of throat. Likewise, only allergies with symptoms linked to the outside of the body, such as eczema, hay fever and animal and food allergies, were less common in people with cancer. Some cancers, like breast cancer, which are isolated from the external environment, showed much weaker associations, the scientists reported. Given the concerning results, Sherman and his team call for studied to test whether turning off the body's allergy reactions with some medicines will actually do more harm than good. They told The Quarterly Review of Biology, “We hope that our work will stimulate reconsideration of the prevailing view that allergies are merely disorders of t he immune system, which therefore can be suppressed without any harm/5 57. What is most allergic patients9 attitude toward allergies? A)They show great fear of allergies. B)They are unconcerned about allergies?

一、阅读理解(共1道小题,共25.0分) 1. People are so busy these days that many have no time to cook. This is a problem because many families love home cooking! A family meal brings everyone together.
