Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
If you’ve been joining in chat room conversations, or exchanging e-mails with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.
Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” online—many of them are talking at the same time.
It’s fast: it allows you to talk to six people at once. It’s convenient: you can use three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.
And it requires very simple langauge. There’s neither time nor spce for explanations. Why waste precious key-strokes telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do?
Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).
Interested in whom you’re talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal’s age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.
If something makes you laugh, say you’re OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTEL (=rolling on the floor laughing).
And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).
People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feelings, as it takes more time to hold down the “Shift” key and usd capitals. Punctuation is going, too.
1. When people are online, they talk by ____-.
A. speaking lanugages other than English
B. exchanging e-mails with people they don’t know

D. People should communicate with each other in a funny way.

Passage 2
Many doctors are now trained in techniques to lessen tension and stress. Here health professionals reveal their favorite methods.
Comfort with food. When diet expert Judith Wurtman is stressed out, she does what a lot of people do this time of year: she reaches for food. But in her case, it’s a healthy rice cake or two. “My research suggests that carbohydrates (碳水化合物) raise levels of a brain chemical, which has a calming effect on the entire body,” says the MIT research scientist. “So signs of stress—such as anger, tension, and inability to focus—are eased.”
Run from your problems. Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper, who popularized aerobics (有氧运动) through his 1968 book by that name, handles his own stress with a daily after-work run. He knows that physical activity reduces anxiety and depression. “Aerobic exercise is the best way to dissipate stress,” says Cooper.
Look to the light side. On his way to the hospital where his father was to have surgery, Joel Goodman shared a hotel bus with the anxious relatives of several patients. The driver began telling his stressed-out passengers a few jokes. “Then he did some magic tricks that had my mother and me laughing.” Goodman says. “In that five-minute ride he taught us that humor can lessen our stress.”
The surgery was successful, and Goodman was so moved by his experience that he researched laughter’s power. “A good laugh relaxes muscles, reduces blood pressure, restrains stress-related hormones and enhances the immune system (免疫系统),” he says.
Go green. Coffee, loaded with hidden sources of caffeine, stimulates (刺激) the nervous system and can make you feel stressed more easily. That’s why Arizona doctor Andrew Weil, author of the best seller Spontaneous Healing, does not take caffeine. “When I want gentle energy, I drink green tea. It contains a caffeine-like element”, Weil says. It also contains compounds that, some studies suggest, have anti-cancer effects.
1. The following are ways to free you from stress EXCEPT _____.
A. looking at things in a more relaxed way
B. getting a lot of sleep during the day
C. eating some food with carbohydrates
D. doing some aerobic exercise
2. Eating or drinking the following can be helpful in freeing you from stress EXCEPT _____.
A. drink green tea             B. eat some bread
C. eat some rice cake          D. drink a lot of coffee
3. A good laugh is very helpful EXCEPT to _____.
A. reduce blood pressure          B. restrain stress-related hormones
C. enhance the immune system       D. take a holiday
4. What is the meaning of the word “dissipate” in the part “Run from Your Problems”?
A. Lessen.       B. Depress.       C. Disturb.       D. Level.
5. Which of the following group of people can have a happier life, according to the passage?
A. Those who are continuously eating something.
B. Those who are always engaged in working.
C. Those who use right methods to reduce tension.
D. Those who study medicine or psychology.

Passage 3
In my opinion, there is only one legitimate(合法的) handgun sport and that is aim practice. It is practiced at objects which are properly monitored and usually quite safe. Only certain handguns are true “sporting weapons”, seen as such by the sport’s lovers.
On the other hand, shooting at tin cans and other small objects in one’s backyard is not and should not be considered a serious sport. When uncontrolled, it can be a very dangerous practice.
Some opponents(反对者) of handgun control have stated that we are out to stop all hunting and that controlling the handgun would severely affect hunting. That is simply untrue. Handgun control would in no way limit the freedom of the true hunter. Few if any hunters consider the handgun an effective hunting weapon.
There are a few hunters who do hunt with handguns, but most states place restrictions(限制) on the type of guns that can be used in hunting, the reason being that killing of game should be done in as humane(人道的) a way as possible. Some small handguns are more likely to wound the animal rather than kill it at once. Only long gun, rifles and shotguns are effective arms for hunting.
People must understand that handguns and hunters are separate matters. Because most of the hunters use a rifle or a shotgun, there is no reason why their search for game and sport should be affected by handgun control. Mixing the anti-hunting matter with the handgun matter confuses the killing of animals with the killing of people.
1. In the writer’s opinion, people should use handguns only when ______.
A. hunters shoot at animals
B. they aim at a criminal
C. objects are under control
D. objects are only small tin cans in the backyard
2. Most stats limit the type of guns used for hunting because ______.
A. they want to control the use of guns
B. some guns are not effective
C. animals are very strong
D. hunters should take a humane approach toward animals
3. According to the writer, hunting is not affected by handgun control because ______.
A. hunters can use knives rather than guns to hunt animals
B. state government encourages hunters to use other guns
C. nobody cares what weapons are used to kill animals
D. most hunters use rifles rather than handguns
4. This passage mainly talks about ______.
A. the relation between hunting and handgun control
B. the importance of aim practice
C. how handgun control affects hunting
D. different types of guns used in hunting
5. It can be understood that ______.
A. handgun control greatly affects hunting
B. most hunter use rifles to hunt because of handgun control
C. handgun control and hunting are separate matters
D. shotguns are better in hunting because they can save animals’ lives

Passage 4
“ Yes, I’ll be ready at nine in the morning. Goodbye, dear, and thanks again.” It had not been an easy telephone call for Mrs. Robinson to make. Her daughter had been very kind, of course, and had immediately agreed to pick her up and drive her to the station, but Mrs. Robinson hated to admit that she needed help. Since her husband had died ten years before, she had prided herself on her independence. She had continued to live in their little house, alone.
On this evening, however, whe was standing at ther living-room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Of course, she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale of the house, she had bought a little flat there. She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the room. One or two pieces of furniture remained, covered with sheets. All her pictures had been taken from the walls. There was a small fish tank, with two goldfish in it. When asked why, her husband used to say: “It’s nice to have something alive in the room.” Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, and always had “something alive in the room.”
The next morning, as her train was pulling out of the station, Mrs. Robinson called to her daughter, “Kate, you won’t forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It’s…”
“I know,” Kate interrupted gently. “It’s nice to have something alive in the room.” But in the little house, the two goldfish had stopped their circling. They were floating on the water, in the room with empty walls.

Passage 5
Of all the family members, grandparents are probably the least valued. They are just the people who have always been around. They make a fuss over (对……关怀备至) the children in the family, show off to their friends the achievements of this child or that child, and show countless pictures of new babies. Grandfathers can fix anything, and grandmothers always have homemade biscuit around.
When you are small, it’s fun to stay with your grandparents because they always let you do things you can’t do at home, and, of course, they buy you things. They are always able to baby-sit (临时照看婴儿) because they don’t go out much and actually prefer to see their grandchildren. They are usually good for a small loan now and then that doesn’t need to be paid back because they turn it into a gift. You respectfully listen to their advice but don’t follow it because they are old and don’t understand how things are in his day and age. You thank them politely for what they do for you, and then don’t call or visit them until you need something else. And, of course, you never tell them how dear they are to you because they know how you feel about them anyway. Then all of a sudden, they are no longer there to do the things that only grandparents can do, and you find yourself wishing that you had told them what they meant to you as people and not just as grandparents.

Passage 6
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, e is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breads the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.
1. People can experience happiness if they ______.
A. always think of the past and regret it
B. value the present

D. they are not allowed to do what they like to do
4. Children are usually happy because ______.

5. Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy?

C. Wealth D. Health

Passage 7
“Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it’s a girl.”
Fatherhoook is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Althought there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
Whatever the response to the birth of a child, it is clear that the change from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unluckily, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.
It is argued by some writers that the change to the father’s role, although difficult, is not nearly as gret as the change the wife must make to the mother’s role. The mother’s role seems to require a complete change in daily routine and adjustment, and the father’s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as breadwinner in the household.
1. According to the author, how do men feel after they become fathers?
A. They feel like they need some more experience.
B. They have a feeling that they must do a lot of planning.
C. Some men feel proud and others uneasy.
D. They have a feeling of not caring about things.
2. Which of the following is stated in the passage?
A. Some parents have a child accidentally and they are not prepared.
B. Young couples do not want to have children at all these days.
C. Working couples turn to their parents to take care of their children.
D. Many parents look forward to having a grl as their first baby.
3. In the third paragraph, the author _____.
A. thinks fathers should take their responsiblities in raising children
B. criticized writers for writing so much about being a mother
C. supports the idea that a father sould also run the home well
D. complains that husands cannot get much help being a father
4. The change of the mother’s role requires that the wife _____.
A. just do whatever she likes to do in her life
B. change completely to deal with the new situation
C. work only within her own home if she can
D. help her husband with his trade or business
5. Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers, _____.
A. have to bear more burdens
B. make a more difficult adjustment
C. have an easier job to do
D. shoulder many burdens

Passage 8
This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions (超级发明).
Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.
The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control f another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t know what they might do next.
But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才) who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.

Passage 9
In the 1900’s, American townspeople usually washed and brushed their teeth and combed their hair in the kitchen. Or they kept a water pitcher (大水罐) and a wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.
The bathtub was a wash tub (澡盆) filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathed together. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday night because Sundays they went to church. A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing (水管设施). Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.
1. In the first paragraph , “took care of” means “________”.
A. kept B. looked after C. used D. kept and used

Passage 10
Telephone, television, radio, an the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices, ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster, such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller. Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on hsips that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for new from Europe to reach the Americas. This time difference influenced people’s actions. For example, a few battles in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided. A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty（条约）had been signed. They would not have died if new had come in time. In the past , communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger that it does today.
1. Thanks to _____, we can gain brand-new ideas and news of events from all over the world.
A. disasters B. Europe C. ocean travel D. modern technology
2. What took six weeks a couple of hundred years ago?
A. The War of 1812 between the US and England.

A. people had signed the peace agreement sooner
B. the peace agreement had reached America earlier
C. the peace agreement had not been lost on the way
D. peple of the two countries had taken some action
4. What attitude did the writer hold to the people who died in the War of 1812?

5. Which is the most appropriate title for this passage?
A. Modern Technology and Communication
B. People Today in the Small World.
C. The Unnecessary War of 1812.
D. People in the Information Age.

Passage 11
Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display (陈列) of a nearby store occurred to me, I stepped in and suggested it to the store-keeper. If something interesting happens, the story of which I think the local Catholic (天主教的) priest (神父) could use, I call him up and tell him about it, though I am not a Catholic myself.
One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in a form that is not expected. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the post office manager a thank-you note. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the post office manager appeared in the entrance. He had happened to hear our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special envelope to your home?” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”

D. He made some important discoveries after he was thirty.
3. The writer suggested an idea to he storekeeper _____.
A. in the store window             B. in person

Passage 12
Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in 1972. They discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses (分析) and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm (节奏). It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.
Great artists and great scientists are similar: they both use the two sides of their brain. It is well-known that Albert Einstein, as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. He got ideas by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to use analysis, number and reason and then he used language to explain it.
Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more important in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don’t we give more value to visual (可见的) thinking?
In fact, all of us need both sides of our brain. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live on this world.
It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other but all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have. Nietzsche, the well-known philosopher, said that we add to our knowledge by making conscious the unconscious.
1. A great composer composes music by using_____.
A. right side of his brain             B. left side of his brain
C. both sides of his brain             D. neither side of his brain
2. Albert Einstein’s example suggests that _____.
A. all scientific discoveries are based on imagination rather than analysis
B. people should do nothing but daydream

A. should be praised because it suggest using both sides of the brain

5. The author’s attitude towards using two sides of the brain is _____.
A. positive       B. negative       C. cold       D. critical

Passage 13
“Life begins at forty” is more often an expressin of hope than a statement of facts. But it has the ring of truth for a group of women at the University of Pittsburgh whose professional lives are really just beginning. A woman, who used to be a housewife and is trying to get a Ph.

Passage 14
A wise man said, “Of the making of books there is no end.” There are millions of books in the world, and thousands of new books come out every year. It is no good hoping to read all these books. However hard we may try, we can read only a few. So we must be careful in deciding what to read, for there are bad books as well as books really worth reading. We may read good novels., but most of our readng should be serious — science, technology, lives of great men, history an so on.

Passage 15
You can use our Business Telecard International at any card phone in the United Kingdom.  Here is some information about making international phone calls. You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call big cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you.
This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful. If you want to speak to a particular person, in this case you should ask for a “person-to-person” call. Even more expensive is a receives charge (对方付款) call, where the person w ho receives the call pays.
If the international line is busy, you can reserve a call to explain the number you want and the
operator will call you back w hen the line is free.
You can save money by calling outside office hours, for example, early in the morning, late at night and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). London is on GMT and Moscow, for example, is 3 hours ahead.
There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put for ward one hour in spring and put back in autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer.
1. What is the most expensive type of call?
A. Direct dialing call. B. Calling through the operator.
C. Reverse charge call. D. Calling outside office hours.
2. What can you do if the international line is busy?

Passage 16
The BBC was founded in 1922, including radio and television services. It is based at Broadcasting House in London .
The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the govern m ent, but these people have freedom and the government can’t interfere (干扰). That is, the BBC is supposed not to be the mouthpiece ( 代言人) of the government. It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to, for example, political parties and religious (宗教) groups .
There is a kind of interesting service in British — rental services. Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them .
The rent for a black and w hite set is about 80 pence a week (1980). T he rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black and white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them repaired free of charge or replaced im m ediately .
Everyone has to buy a yearly license, since there is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of licenses that the BBC gets most of its money. A license for a black and white set costs 8 pounds, and for a color set 18 pounds a year .
