二、2.Reading Comprehension

Part III  Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They show that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behaviour in society, and was reading English literature.
  At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college?

A．His family could not afford it.
B．A college education was rather uncommon in his times.
C．He didn"t like the young Virginian gentlemen who went to college.
D．The author doesn"t give any reason.

2.
Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he ______.

A．lacked practice in public speaking
B．felt his education was inadequate
C．didn"t like arguing and debating with people
D．felt that the others were being impractical

3.
The reason why Washington didn"t visit France was probably that he ______.

A．did not really care abut going
B．did not know the French leaders
C．could not communicate directly with the French leaders
D．was too busy to travel

4.
According to the author ______.

A．Washington"s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later life
B．Washington should have gone to France even though be could not speak French
C．Washington was not as good as a president as Adams, Jefferson or Madison
D．Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen

5.
The main idea of the passage is that Washington"s education

A．was of great variety, covering many subjects
B．was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his time
C．may seem poor by modem standards, but was good enough for his time
D．was rather limited for a president

7.Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or "bike."
  In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.
  For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders: For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders must use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.
  But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea--they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
  The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.

According to the passage, bicycles ______.

A．a(chǎn)re more convenient than cars
B．a(chǎn)re safer traffic tools than cars
C．a(chǎn)re ridden by most people in U.S.
D．a(chǎn)re the solution to some city problems

8.
The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by ______.

A．the city government
B．some bike riders
C．people living far from downtown
D．some store owners

9.
"Bicycle lanes" (Line 2, Para.3) probably means ______.

A．narrow passages in between buildings for bicycles
B．roads full of bicycles
C．special parts of the road for bicycle riders only
D．roads for bicycles only

10.
Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Bike for a Better City members ride bicycles to work.
B．Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lines,
C．The Central Park is situated in the downtown section of New York.

13.Newspapers, along with reporting the news, instruct, entertain, and give opinions. An important way for reading a large, big-city newspaper is knowing how to take it apart. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, classified ads? Does your paper have other sections?
  News stories give facts, not the author"s opinions. Editorials do the opposite; you can expect an editorial to take sides. Some newspaper editorials have a by-line with the author"s name, but many newspapers have unsigned editorials. These reflect the opinions of the publisher or editor.
  You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines to omit unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.
  Most of all, the more you know about current news, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper; important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way for reading newspapers is reading one frequently.

To read a large newspaper, a good way is ______.

A．to read it section be section
B．to do some paper-cutting
C．to find separate sections and read accordingly
D．to predict what is inside the newspaper

14.
Which of the following statements about news stories is TURE?

A．News stories tell the facts without any comments.
B．News stories contain both facts and opinions.
C．News stories reflect the opinions of the publisher and editor.
D．News stories express the writer"s opinions.

15.
If you want to read some less important news without any details, you can read ______.

A．the lead paragraphs of the news stories on front pages
B．the headlines inside the pages
C．the lead paragraphs of the news stories
D．the headlines of some current news on the front pages

A．read newspapers

C．find important news stories
D．be a careful newspaper reader

19.During the American War of Independence, women were involved in the active fighting in three ways. First, as members of a distinct branch of the Continental Army, referred to as "Women of the Army," women staffed field hospitals and acted as military support in such roles as water carriers. In an emergency, women water carders, who had plenty of opportunity to observe the firing of cannons, could replace a wounded comrade. The second way that women were involved in active fighting was as regular troop members who wore men"s uniforms and fought side by side with their male counterparts. Theoretically, women were not supposed to be recruited into the Continental Army, but if a woman was a good soldier, no one made an issue of sex at a time when the army was so short of: soldiers that boys not yet in their teens were also being recruited in violation of rules. Third, women were occasional fighters affiliated with local militia companies or committees of safety formed to protect the local community.

Part IV  Cloze
Directions: There are some blanks in the following passages. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits into the passages. Then, mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.It is interesting to observe the way in【61】children so often react against their parents" ideas, while at the same time【62】their parents" characteristics. That is to say, the children grow up to【63】different views from their parents, yet to have【64】personalities. There is a【65】going on in the toy world at present over whether children should be【66】to have war toys. I do not believe in encouraging war toys, but I don"t see any【67】in forbidding them when I think of the【68】of my friend Henry.
  Henry is the【69】of strict parents who were totally opposed to war. He was never allowed toy soldiers【70】a boy, never allowed guns.
  Henry grew up and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and【71】all sorts of military honors in a rather fierce unit. He became the opposite in【72】way of what his parents might have expected【73】their son. And yet there is a gentleness about Henry which shows a【74】personality. There is a sympathetic element about the man which I can see【75】have come from his family. In【76】of doing things differently from our parents, a lot of the spirit gets passed on.
  Parents in all conscience have to【77】their children what they believe to be right. Perhaps the【78】way to teach one"s child gentleness is【79】forbid toy guns, but to be gentle in one"s【80】everyday life.
