IV. Reading Comprehension (60 points)

Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four

questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose

one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

  Passage One

 There has been, in history, a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. The

man's name is James Bartley. The records to prove his unusual experience are in the British Admirahy.

 Bartley was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East. Suddenly the lookout sighted a huge sperm whale. The whalers knew it was a huge whale by the size of the spray it blew into the air. They lowered their small boats. James Bartley was in the first longboat. The men rowed until they were close to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark. It sank into the whale's flesh. The maddened beast crashed into the boat, snapping its tail at the men and the wreckage of their boats. When the survivors were picked up, James Bartley was missing.

 Shortly before sunset, the whale was finally captured. The sailors tied the whale's dead-body to

the side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cut up the whale right away. Otherwise, the meat would begin to rot and the oil would begin to spoil. When they got to the stomach, they felt something moving about wildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive inside. But when they opened the stomach they found James Bartley. After this trip, Bartley settled in England, and never returned to sea.

36. This passage is mainly about       

A. how to hunt whales for their oil and meat

B. the hard and dangerous lives that whalers had to live

C. the duties of each man on a whaling ship

D. a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived

37. The sailors knew that something was in the whale's stomach because       

A. they could feel it moving about wildly

B. the whale seemed very heavy

C. the whale was swelling at one spot

D. the captain heard Bartley yelling for help

38. James Bartley probably never went to sea again because       

A. he wanted different kinds of adventures

B. of fright and shock

C. he was crippled by the whale

D. he often got seasick

39. The author, in telling James Bartley's story, informs us by       

A. narrating the plain facts

B. referring to whaling in general

C. comparing whaling to other fishing

D. dramatically telling what happened

  Passage Two

 Never laugh at a snow covered mountain! Laughter and yelling, during the avalanche season, can cause a deadly pile of snow. Huge snow slides are most common in mountains where there are steep slopes that are well buried in snow and ice. The snow builds up slowly and lands very softly. This can create a very touchy, unstable situation. Tons of snow may be held up by only the friction between snowflakes. The deep snow is like a house of cards. The slightest movement can cause it to fall. As soon as something slips, this great mass of snow will come crashing down the mountainside.

 Slides may be started by sound vibrations. They may also be started by the weight of wet, melting snow. Once an avalanche has been triggered, the cause no longer matters. Moving down a steep slope, it picks up great speed and added snow. Some avalanches travel as fast as two hundred miles per hour. The force of an avalanche will mow down anything in its path. Whole houses have been swallowed up by these fast-paced piles of snow.

  The wind that is caused by an avalanche is almost as destructive as the snow itself. Winds from an avalanche have been known to travel as fast as those of a tornado.  So, when approaching a thickly snow covered mountain, speak softly!

 40. Avalanches can be started by       

 A. falling snow

B. the wind

 C. loud sounds   

D. friction between snowflakes

 41. We can conclude from this passage that avalanches       

 A. are common everywhere

B. are not very common

C. have killed people  

D. are a thing of the past

42. The writer compares an avalanche to       

A. a tornado

B. a falling house of cards

C. a snowstorm   

D. a speeding train

43. In this passage "unstable" means       

A. frightening

B. fast   

C. shaky

D. undesirable

 Passage Three

Staff Sgt. Nicholas Lanier has entered what he calls the "vast unknown. " A combat veteran and

father to four daughters, he can't remain in the military because of a serious back injury earned in Iraq.

But he can't yet accept a civilian job because he doesn't know when the military will discharge(使

退伍) him. He has no clue how much the government will pay him in disability compensation related to his injury, so he can't make a future budget. He just waits.

 Thousands of troops are like Lanier: not fully fit to serve but in limbo (无着落) for about two

years waiting to get discharged under a new system that was supposed to be more efficient than its predecessor. And the delays are not only affecting service members, but the military's readiness as well. New troops can't enlist until others are discharged.

 The government determines the pay and benefits given to wounded, sick or injured troops for their military service.  Under the old system,  a medical board would determine their level of military compensation and the service member would be discharged. Then the veteran essentially would have to go through the process again with the Veterans Affairs Department to determine benefits.

 Under the new system, which started in 2007 and will be completely rolled out at military bases

nationwide by the end of September, the service member essentially goes through both disability

evaluation systems at the same time before leaving the military. But the new, supposedly streamlined, system is still such a cumbersome process that it's leaving many service members in limbo, they say.

44. Why can't Sgt. Lanier serve in the military anymore?

A. Because of his injured back.
B. Because of his hand.

C. Because his vision has worsened.

D. Because he has a civilian job.

45. Under the old system, an injured soldier would have to go through the claims process       

A. once

B. twice

C. three times

D. more times

46. Is the new system better than the old system?

A. Yes, it's much better.   

B. It is a lot more effective.

C. It doesn't seem that way.

D. No. It' s worse.

 47. How much will the government pay Sgt. Lanier in disability compensation?

 A. They won't pay him anything.

 B. He doesn't know.

C. They will pay him about $2,500 per month.

D. The government hash' t decided.

 Passage Four

You know that pearls grow inside oysters, but would you ever think to look for diamonds inside an ostrich ? Well, a hunter once shot an ostrich and discovered, to his great surprise, that the big bird had swallowed a bunch of diamonds. How could such a strange thing happen?

Like many other birds, the ostrich swallows small stones that stay inside its " gizzard. " The gizzard is a bird's second stomach. It is where the food is ground up. The small stones help to grind up the food so it can be digested. They do the chewing, because birds don't have teeth. In the case of the ostrich with the diamonds, the bird simply had expensive taste in rocks. He used the diamonds to help digest his dinner.

Diamonds and stones aren't all that an ostrich will swallow. If there are no stones around, it will

eat just about anything. Sadly for ostriches in zoos this can be a fatal habit. The tendency to swallow anything it sees has caused the death of many an ostrich. Cruel or careless people often throw things into the bird's living space.  They throw keys, coins, even large objects such as horseshoes.  The ostrich swallows them without hesitation. Coins can be the worst. Inside the ostrich they wear down to a razor sharp edge. They will cut open the bird's gizzard from the inside. One young zoo ostrich died with 484 coins, weighing more than eight pounds, in its gizzard.

48. Ostriches eat stones because they don't have       

A. enough food  

B. bird seed  

C. teeth   

D. diamonds

49. The ostrich is not smart enough to       

A. digest its own food

B. eat only diamonds

C. avoid eating harmful objects  

D. escape from the zoo

50. The phrase "they do the chewing" makes the rocks seem as though they are       

A. important

B. alive  

C. dangerous

D. uncomfortable

51. "Fatal" is another word for       

A. foolish   

B. careless

C. deadly   

D. cruel

  Passage Five

 Sports have always been ruled by the weather.  Rain, sleet, snow and cold called the plays. Baseball fans have often sat in the rain without cover, waiting for the sun to come out and the game to begin. Football lovers sometimes took days to warm up after sitting through a freezing cold Sunday game. For both sports fans and players, the domed stadium was like something out of a dream. A huge plastic bubble kept out rain and snow. There was heat to keep things comfortable year round.

 Domed stadiums have clearly changed the course of sports. Still, they did have their problems at

first. Most of these problems were discovered and solved at the Houston Astrodome.  This was the world's first stadium with a lid. For the fans, it was great. But there were some problems for the players. Baseball outfielders had the most difficult time. They had to learn to catch in a field with a roof. At first this was almost as difficult as playing in the dark. The glass of the roof was light colored, to let sunlight in. Sunlight was needed to keep the grass on the field alive. But the light roof blended(混合)too welt with the white baseball. Fly balls seemed to drop out of nowhere. Even skilled fielders were making errors. Finally, the decision was made to paint the glass of the roof dark. The problem was solved. But what about the grass? Well, the real grass was dug up and replaced with artificial turf!

52. This passage is about        

A. baseball games

B. cold weather

C. how to play outfield

D. domed stadiums

53. Domed stadiums must have       

A. artificial grass

B. bright sunlight

C. stained glass roofs

D. bright lighting

54. Based on the passage, domed stadiums are       

A. a thing of the past

B. a passing fashion

C. revolutionizing sports

D. expensive to keep up

Reading Comprehension

第一篇

【答案】

36D  37A  38B  39D

【解析】

36.文章讲的是一次事件,人被鲸鱼吞人肚中却活着出来。选项D是正确的。

37.第三段。水手们能感觉到鲸鱼的胃里有东西在动。选项A是正确的。

38.最后一段说James Bartley自从这个事件后再也没有回到海上。可以推断他很害怕。其他三个选项文中都未涉及。选项B是正确的。

39.文章讲述了事件的戏剧性过程。选项D是正确的。

【原文大意】

历史上,曾经有个人被鲸鱼吞噬且仍然活着讲述这个故事。他就是James Bartley。证明他这非同一般的经历的记录就保存在英国海军部。

Bartley第一次登上捕鲸船东方之星号。突然,望哨的人发现了巨头鲸。捕鲸者根据鲸喷向天上的水柱的大小知道这是一头巨鲸。他们放下小船,James Bartley在第一只船上。他们划到离鲸很近的地方,投出渔叉,扎入鲸鱼的肉体。疯狂的野兽朝小船撞去,用尾巴朝人和船的碎片抽去。当人们救起他们时,James Bartley失踪了。

太阳快落山的时候,鲸鱼终于被制服了。水手们将鲸鱼的尸体绑在船边上。由于天气炎热,

必须将鱼肉立即切成小块,否则,鱼肉会腐烂,鱼油会变坏。当他们触及鲸鱼的胃时,感觉里面有东西在剧烈地运动,以为是条大鱼在里面还活着。但当他们打开鲸鱼的胃时,发现了James Bartley。这次事件之后,Bartley定居在英格兰,再也没有出过海。

第二篇

【答案】

40C  41C  42B  43C

【解析】

40.第二段。下雪本身并不能引起雪崩。最后一段说雪崩可引起风,而不是风引起雪崩。雪花之间的摩擦说明积雪不牢固。只有选项c是正确的。

41.选项AB在文中并未提及。文中提到雪崩的强大力量,可以毁掉整座房子,人肯定也是有伤亡的。选项C是正确的。

42.第一段。雪堆积起来,并不坚实,稍有振动就会发生雪崩,如同纸牌搭的房子,一触即塌。选项B是正确的。文中提到雪崩速度极快,但并未将其与火车相比。

43Shake摇晃,shaky多摇晃的,用字母y结尾变成形容词,含意为……,就是不稳定了。选项C是正确的。

【原文大意】

永远也不要在大雪覆盖的山上大笑!在雪崩的季节,大笑和大喊都会引起惨重的雪崩。在山上被雪和冰覆盖的陡坡最容易产生大块雪的滑动。雪慢慢地集中起来,轻轻地落下,造成非常敏感且不稳定的态势。数吨的雪可能仅靠雪花之间的摩擦支撑。深深的雪如同纸牌搭的房子,最轻微的活动都会使它倒塌。一旦有东西滑动,巨大的雪块就会冲下山坡。
声波会引起滑动,湿的、溶化的雪的重量也可能引起滑动。一旦雪崩产生,其产生的原因就不再重要了。雪崩冲下陡坡,速度在加快,卷入更多的雪。有些雪崩的速度相当于每小时200英里的速度。它的力量可以摧毁沿途的一切。整个的房子被这些急速的雪堆吞噬。

由雪崩引起的风几乎同雪崩自身一样是毁灭性的。这些风的速度可与飓风匹敌。因此,当靠近大雪覆盖的大山时,轻声说话!

第三篇

【答案】

44A  45B  46C  47B

【解析】

44.第一段。这是一篇关于受伤军人获补偿的文章。Nicholas Lanier是一个从战场上下来的老兵,他不能留在部队是因为他在伊拉克战场上背部受了伤。选项A是正确的。

45.第四段。按照旧的制度,在战场上受伤的军人,要先由医疗委员会决定他们的军队补偿级别,然后退役,然后,退伍军人还要同退伍军人事务部一起再重走一遍这个过程。同一程序共走两次。选项B是正确的。

46.第五段,最后一句。新制度的程序仍然缓慢复杂,许多现役军人还处于无着落的状态。选项C是正确的。

47.第二段。没有丝毫线索告诉Nicholas Lanier能获得多少赔偿。选项B是正确的。

【原文大意】

中士Nicholas Lanier进入了他自己称之为无尽的未知世界之中。作为战场上下来的老兵、四个女儿的父亲,他不能留在军队里了,因为在伊拉克的战场上他的背部严重受伤。

然而,他目前还不能接受普通市民的工作,因为他还不知道什么时候让他退役。就他的伤势能获得多少伤残补助,他也没有丝毫的概念。因此,他不能对未来作任何规划。他只有等待。

Lanier处境相似的有数千军人:他们不适合继续服役,但又无着落。这种状态在被认为比老制度有效率的新制度下也要等待两年才能退役。这种迟缓不仅影响到现役军人,还影响了军队的待役人员。新兵在老兵退役之前是不能入伍的。

伤病员在军队服役的薪金和福利是由政府决定的。按照旧的制度,医疗委员会决定这些伤病员的军队补偿等级,让这些现役军人退役。然后,老兵还必须同退伍军人事务部将这一程序再走一遍以决定福利。

按照2007年启用并将在九月末在全国军事基地铺开的新制度,现役军人必须通过伤残鉴定制度,同时离开军队。但是,本应简化高效的制度仍然有着缓慢复杂的程序。老兵们说,这些复杂的程序让他们处于飘浮不定的状态。

49.第三段。鸵鸟不能判断什么该吃,什么不该吃,这也是这种鸟的习性,什么都吞。选项C是正确的。

50.第二段。根据上下文,they代表小石子。这是一种拟人的写作手法,给物体以生命。选B是正确的。

【原文大意】

你知道珍珠是生长在牡蛎里的,可你想没想过到鸵鸟的肚子里找钻石呢?有个猎人曾射死了一只鸵鸟,他吃惊地发现这只大鸟吞下了一堆钻石。这是怎么回事?

跟其他的鸟一样,鸵鸟会吞下一些小石头,这些石头存在它的砂囊中。砂囊是鸟的第二个胃,食物在这里给碾碎。小石子帮助把食物磨碎,食物就可消化了。小石子咀嚼食物,因为鸟没有牙。作为鸵鸟吞钻石,看来它对石头的品位是很昂贵的。它用钻石帮助消化食物。

钻石和石头并不是鸵鸟吞咽的所有东西。如果周围没有石头,它会吃任何东西。对于动物园中的鸵鸟就很惨了。这个习惯是致命的。许多鸵鸟就是因为见什么就吃什么而死亡了。残忍、粗心的人们经常往鸟的生活区投东西,如钥匙、硬币、甚至大的物体如马掌。鸵鸟毫不犹豫地把它们全部吞下。硬币是最糟糕的。在鸵鸟的体内,这些硬币的边缘磨损成锋利的剃刀,从内部把鸵鸟的砂囊划破。一只年幼的鸵鸟就是因为吞下484枚硬币而死去。在砂囊中的这些硬币重8磅之多。

第五篇

【答案】

52D  53A  54C  55C

【解析】

52.文章主要讲的是带顶棚的运动场。选项D是正确的。第二段的第一句点题。

53.第二段。带顶棚的运动场必须有人工草皮。因为顶棚不能是浅色,会影响运动员的判断;深色的顶棚又阻止了阳光的进入,真草则不能生存,所以就必须用人工草皮。选项A是正确的。

54.第二段第一句。带顶棚的运动场是一种改革。选项C是正确的。

55.第二段第一句。排除法,选项BD很容易排除。选项A是地点,实际上,运动场地并未改变,改变的是场地的设施。所以选项C是正确的。

【原文大意】

体育运动经常受控于天气,雨、冻雨、雪以及寒冷都可叫停比赛。棒球迷经常坐在没有遮挡的雨中,等着太阳出来,比赛开始。足球迷有时会在冰冻的天气看过周日的比赛后花数日使自己的身体暖和过来。无论是球迷还是运动员,带圆顶的运动场对他们来说做梦都是不可想的。巨大的塑料泡挡住雨雪,使室内全年处于舒适的温度。

圆顶体育场显然改变了运动的方向。然而,这些运动场最初存在很多问题。大多数的问题都在Houston Astrodome运动场解决了。这是世界上第一个带篷的运动场。对球迷来说它太好了。但对运动员来说就有问题了。棒球运动员在当时是最困难的。他们必须学会如何在有棚的运动场中接球。最开始,这简直就如同在黑暗中打球。顶棚的玻璃是浅色的,好让阳光照进来,以保证场地的草的生存。可是,浅色的玻璃和白色的球混合在一起难以分辨,飞起的球不知在哪里。甚至有经验的外场手都会犯错。终于,顶棚的玻璃被涂上了深色,这个问题解决了。那草怎么办呢?挖出真草,铺上人工草皮!

A student-bag was found in the reading-room 5 of the library on campus. The time and the date of finding the bag was about 11 : 30 am Oct. 12 (yesterday).

The bag was sitting in a chair when it was found, and there was no one around. Inside the bag,

there are several books and note-books.  It seems that the owner of the bag is a student majoring in arts. A student ID and a credit card are in there too. They are the most important for the owner, to be believed.

Please contact the Finder at 134622221915 or e-mail to fd333@ 1915. com. The so-called-owner

Good luck !
