三、3.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.Young people who drink or use drugs are mainly influenced by both their parents and their pressure.
  Other reasons they take that first drink are to be rebellious (反抗的) ,for curiosity or "kicks" (刺激) or to escape an unpleasant environment. And young people drink and use drugs because alcohol (酒精)and drugs are at hand.
  After first experimental use, young people continue to drink or use drugs because they believe these substances can relieve boredom, increase energy, decrease anxiety, solve problems, or help them socially. They may simply like the "high" they get in the early and middle stages of substance use. After continued use, they will drink or use drugs because they become physically and psychologically (心理地) addicted (上癮的).
  Now that we have admitted that we have to solve this problem. We must decide how to deal with this challenge. Winning this will take a great effort involving local, state, and national government. It will require the effort of schools, but it cannot be done by schools alone. It will take family and community involvement.

7.There was a big pile of bricks on the top of a tall building and a man had to bring them down to the ground. He had a long rope which went over a pulley (滑輪) at the roof of the building. The other end was fastened to a big box.
  First he pulled the box up to the top of the building, and fastened the end of the rope so that the box could not come down. Then he climbed up the ladder and filled the box with bricks. Next he climbed down the ladder and untied the rope. Unfortunately the box of bricks was heavier than the man, and as a result he was pulled up by the rope. Half-way up, the box of bricks hit him as it was coming down.
  When he reached the top, his head hit the pulley. The box of bricks hit the ground and broke. As a result the bricks fell out. The box was then lighter than the man and consequently he began to come down and the box began to go up.
  Half-way up, the box hit the man. The man still held on to the rope and the box therefore continued to go up. The man then reached the ground. Then he let to the rope to rub his head.

13.The whole industrial process which makes many of the goods and machines we need and use in our daily lives, is bound to create a number of waste products which upset the environmental balance, or the ecological(生態(tài)的) balance as it is known. Many of these waste products can be prevented or disposed (處理) of sensibly, but clearly while more and more new goods are produced and made complex, there will be new, dangerous wastes to be disposed of, for example, the waste products from nuclear power stations. Many people therefore, see pollution as only part of a larger and more .complex problem, that is, the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods. Others again see the problem mainly in connection with agriculture, where new methods are helping farmers grow more and more on their land to feed our ever-increasing population. However, the land itself is gradually becoming worn out as it is being used, in some cases, too heavily, and artificial fertilisers (人造肥料) cannot bring back the balance.
  Whatever is underlying (潛在的)reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter(雜亂的廢物) and waste. Food comes wraped up three or four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which cannot be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste resources, in terms of glass, metals and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us to buy things we don"t want to buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess consumption and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives.

The main cause of pollution is ______.

A．the production of new industrial goods
B．increased amounts of natural substance
C．our ever-increasing population

15.
Many people see pollution as only part of ______.

A．the environmental balance
B．our daily life
C．the consumption of goods by man
D．the whole process of industrial production and consumption of goods

16.
Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause ______.

A．a(chǎn)ir pllution

C．excess consumption
D．unnecessary buying

17.

19.Women earn less than men do. For example, in 1998 the hourly wages of women in the U. S. were 26% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes becomes wider with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men varies. It"s also clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women in an industry, the lower the average wages.
  Why do women earn less than men do? Are the differences explained by the fact that women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to intervene (干預(yù)) ,to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women on the average have chosen low-paid jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which reduces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background.
  Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some prejudice (偏見) against women. It is this part that has produced calls for government action. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline (下降). An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate of hiring r~ew workers declines. The result will be a surplus (過剩) of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.

The difference in labor incomes is most obvious between ______.

A．young men and young women
B．young women in the same industry
C．middle-aged men and middle-aged women
D．middle-aged women in the same industry

20.
Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because ______.

A．there are more than enough women in the labor force
B．women have more freedom in selecting jobs
C．women are only provided with low-paid jobs
D．women ale less experienced than men

21.
Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the second paragraph?

A．Levels of education are closely related to productivity.
B．Women are not as productive as men.
C．Women receive less education than men.
D．Goods produced by men are not as good as those by women.

22.
What does the author suggest that the government should do for women workers?

A．To ensure equal pay for women.
B．No solution is clearly suggested.
C．To explain why women are paid less.
D．To force employers to hire more women.

23.
What would happen if women"s wages were raised?

A．The imput of labor would be increased.
B．The unemployment rate would go up.
C．Those who have jobs would all become better off.
D．Women as a group would earn more than before.

25.Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away.
  The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer. For example, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about some- one who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.
  As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in some places. At a certain time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities far away.
  Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. The programme "Round Robin Talks" by radio was started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was going away and who was ill. The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.
