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.Our house was the oldest in the village. It was nearly three hundred years old. Although we were six children, and a mother and a father, we were not by any means alone in the house. We were sharing it with big families of mice and spiders(蜘蛛). There were great- grandparents, grandparents, fathers and mothers, and hundreds of mouse and spider children.
  My mother would never let us kill a spider, not even a hairy old grandfather. "If you want to live and rich," she used to say, "let a spider run alive." And so the spiders, our enemies, were beaten and kicked but never killed. But she had no such dealing with the mice.
  One of our problems was that my mother hated cats; and we never owned a single cat. We kept dogs, often two or three at the same time, but very few dogs can move fast enough to catch a lively young mouse. Every night we set a dozen mousetraps(捕鼠器), each with a small piece of cheese. Sometimes the cheese disappeared, but the mice usually seemed too wise to go near the traps. We seldom caught anything.
  My mother herself had far better luck. Her arms and hands moved as fast as any cat"s paws. Often, when she was scrubbing or polishing a floor on her hands and knees, some foolish little grey fellow would try to run past her. He never got very far. Quick as lightning her hard hands would smack(用掌擊) together--and there on the floor would be one dead mouse. "Oh, you were a proud one," she would say to it then.
  One day my father decided to clean out the water tank, which stood on four iron legs in a corner upstairs. He was soon sorry that he had started the job. In the mud at the bottom of the tank, there were sixteen of the little grey fellows, all as solid and hard as stones. We had been drinking the water from that tank for twelve years.

Which of followlng statements is true?

A．Because the house was old, the family were troubled by lots of mice and spiders.
B．The children did not live in the house because they were afraid of the spiders.
C．The trouble was that there was no water supply in the old house.
D．Spiders and mice are a part of the family.

2.
Which of following statements is not true?

A．The writer"s mother often killed a mouse by smacking it hard between her hands.
B．The children were not allowed to kill any of the spiders
C．Many of the mice were caught when they tried to eat the cheese in the mousetraps.
D．The family would probably have been happier if the father had not decided to clean out the water tank.

4.Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later. I am one of those unfortunate people who have an extremely poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time, but I still manage to get lost on my way there.
  When I was a teenager, I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that some miraculous (奇跡的) chance would bring me to the spot I was heading for.
  A lot of people do not like to admit that they do not know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their home town very well, will give you a long list of directions which you cannot possibly hope to remember; and you finally find that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
  If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid causing trouble, but even this can have unpleasant results.
  I was once on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would di- rect him to the Sunlight Building. Without hesitation, I gave my usual reply, but I had only walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decided it was too late to turn back and search him out of the crowd behind me as I had and appointment to keep at the office with a new client and I did not want to keep him waiting. Imagine my situation when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions to my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked!

According to the passage, the sense of direction is learnt______.

A．through practice
B．by nature
C．in the childhood
D．a(chǎn)fter visiting a place repeatedly

5.
Which of the following statements is true?

A．Those who don"t have a good sense of direction only know very well about their hometown.
B．People won"t get lost unless they are in a strange town.
C．Wandering round in circles helps people to get a good sense of direction.
D．A long list of direction is not easy to remember, but it helps to find the spot o0e is looking for.

6.

A．was also a stranger to the town
B．was never sure where he was going

9.I was eleven when we had to move out of the big old house in which I had spent my whole life. Each time I thought of that, I felt very sad. When the final day came, I ran to a corner and sat alone, trying not to let others see my tears. Suddenly I felt a hand patting me on the shoulder. I looked up, and saw my grandpa. "It isn"t easy, is it, my grandson?" he said in a very low voice, sitting down beside me. I nodded through my tears, without a word. We sat silently for a long time. Then he said, "Good-by is such a sad word that it seems too cold for us to use. We must try to avoid it."
  Then we walked slowly in the garden, hand in hand, to have a last look at each rock, each tree, each flower. We sat for a while by the small pond which was a favorite place of my grandpa"s. "What do you see here, Tommy?" asked the old man. I looked at the water, not knowing what to say, and then replied, "I see something soft and beautiful, Grandpa." He pulled me close to him and said, "It isn"t the pond or the trees or the flowers that are beautiful. It is the special place in your heart that makes you feel so." After a while, he continued, "I built the pond, and planted the trees and the flowers a long time ago. I started to build this beautiful home the day my only son was born." He stopped. After a long silence, he murmured(低聲說), "One day a terrible war came, and my son, like many other people"s sons, went away to fight. Five months later, a telegram came, telling us that my son had passed away..." he couldn"t finish his sentence. I saw tears trickle from his eyes. "That afternoon I picked some roses from this place and put them in front of son"s portrait (肖像), and said goodbye to him. You know who he was, Tommy?"
  "My father?" I asked in a whisper, hoping my grandpa would say no. But he said, "That"s rights my dear. " Ann in arm, we cried. Then the old man held me ups and said softly, "My dear Tom, we axe going to move, but don"t say good-bye to our old house, never."

14.Everyone has got two personalities-the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don"t show your secret personality when you"re awake. Because you can control yourself. But when you"re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people often change their position. The important position is the one you go to sleep in.
  If you go to sleep on your back, you"re a very open person. You usually believe people and you accept new things or new ideas easily. You don"t like to make people sad, so you never express your real feeling. You"re quite shy.
  If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you always easily become sad. You usually live for today not tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.
  If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself. You"re shy and don"t like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You"re easily hurt.
  If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You"re usually careful. You don"t often get sad. You always say what you think even if it makes other people unhappy.
