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.When you buy a T-shirt, or a fur coat in a store, it often carries a label (標(biāo)簽) telling who made it or from what store it was bought. Indeed, some labels show the dress is famous and it is very expensive, so buyers secretly wish they might be carried for ever. On the other hand, buyers who deal with the cheapest products(產(chǎn)品) would be pleased to do away with labels entirely.
  However, there is another label more important than the one showing from which store the dress was bought. When a person buys a fur coat ,or a jacket, from a store, a label telling what the product is made of should be carried to it.
  This label is required by law. Besides telling what the product on show is made of, the label should be in clear English and be where one can find it easily. The information on the label must be the truth.
  The reason for this label is that most buyers today aren"t expert enough to know exactly what kind of fur or material they are buying. The buyer must believe in the store that sells the products or in what the labels say.

In the article ,the author says a little about ______.

A．black-market furs
B．managers" office
C．chemical laboratories
D．clothing stores

2.
This article mainly refers to ______.

A．making furs and clothes
B．protecting buyers with law

3.
The author doesn"t agree that ______.

A．buyers buy the clothes without labels
B．clothing stores sell cheap dresses
C．a(chǎn)ll the products have labels
D．labels are not true

4.
Which of the following is true?

A．A T-shirt seldom carries a label.
B．A fur coat with a high price often carries a false label.
C．A label only says what material the product is made of.
D．Not all buyers know the materials they are buying.

6.Beijing is to spend up to US $ 20 billion to change the Chinese capital into a 21st-century one for the 2008 Olympics.
  The government managed to host the 2008 games. The general aim is for Beijing to have the same environmental standards as Paris, London or Washington by 2008.
  Hundreds of millions o1" dollars will be spent to pipe natural gas to the city"s homes, taking away dirty coal burning gradually while 60,000 buses will be changed to liquefied gas.
  The money will also be used for relocating the polluting factories and building green belts. By 2008 around 90 percent of Beijing"s waste will be treated, compared to only 40 percent at present.
  Olympic officials realize the city has a long way to go to match the environmental standards of such cities as Paris, Toronto, Istanbul and Osaka.
  City officials have already announced that around 50 large projects are being dealt with to improve traffic congestion (擁擠)and cut down pollution. They include construction of Beijing"s first light railway, a 40.5-kilometer line which is expected to be completed in 2005.
  Beijing plans to build an 82.55-kilometer-long subway to add to existing 53 kilometers. Nine major roads will be rebuilt or widened.
  Beijing also plans to build a 70-meter-wide green belt along the waterways to protect water quality as well as increase the green areas.

11.One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The death rate (率) from the disease has been increasing at an alarming Speed for the past thirty years. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regulary, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress (壓力) in their work.
  However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. In stead of supporting such programs, however, the U. S. health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical (外科的) treatment of the disease, after it develops. This emhasis (強調(diào)) on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology, has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operation that were considered impossible or too risky (有風(fēng)險的) a few years ago are now performed every day in U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge in crease in heart surgery.
  Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform. surger-even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary--because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery ,for example, 0nly 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100,000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.

What effect has modern technology had on medicine?

A．It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.
B．It has helped save the lives of most patients.
C．It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.
D．It have helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.

12.
"To do this" ( in Paragraph 3 ) means ______.

A．to help patients recover
B．to increase the number of heart surgeries
C．to get back the money spent on the equipment
D．to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart disease

13.
The author would agree that ______.

A．more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease
B．heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditions
C．modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than before
D．the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease

14.
What would be the best title for the passage ______.

A．The Greatest Killer in the West
B．Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent
C．Modern Technology and Heart Surgery
D．Heart Surgery: Advantage and Disadvantages

16.I was 14 when Mr. Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Hear, Okla. The old farmer lived about a mile down the road and needed help cutting grass. It was the first time I was actually paid for work -- about 12 cents an hour, not bad when you consider it was 1939 ,a time when there was little business activity.
  Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even helped when a baby cow was being born.
  One day he found an old truck that was stuck in the soft, sandy soil of the melon (瓜) field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.
  Mr. Ingram explained that the truck"s owner would be returning soon, and he wanted me to watch and learn. It wasn"t long before a man from a nearby village, who had a terrible reputation (名聲) for fighting and stealing, showed up with his two full-grown sons. They looked very angry.
  Calmly Mr. Ingram said, "Well, I see you want to buy some watermelons."
  There was a long silence before the man answered," Yeah, I guess so. What are you getting for them?"
  "Twenty-five cents each."
  "Well, I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here."
  It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer, and an unpleasant, perhaps unfortunate, incident had been prevented. After they left, Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me," Son, if you don"t for give (原諒) your enemies, you"re going to run out of friends. "
  Mr. Ingram died a few years later, but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me on my first job.

Which of the following best explains "ended up" as is used in the passage?

A．enjoyed

C．got into
D．went on

The truck owners were angry because ______.

18.
