四、4.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.Early in November 1965, New York was blacked out by an electricity failure (停電). The Mayor promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists (悲觀主義者) were certain that it would happen again within five years. In July 1977, there was a repeat performance which produced a serious disorder throughout the city. At that time the city was in one of its worst heat waves.
  In 1965, there was little crime during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1977, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted (劫掠). Nearly 4,000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policeman available was far from enough and some looters even carry guns.
  Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most business remained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 P.M., when lightning hit and knocked out supply cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.

According to the first paragraph, who were right: the authorities or the pessimists?

A．The authorities.
B．The pessimists.
C．Both.
D．Neither.

2.
In what way was the blackout of 1977 different from that of 1965?

4.
What caused the blackout in July 1977?

A．During a storm, lightning damaged cable.

7.Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
  In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers (大臣) or teachers.
  In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard"s law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.
  As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.
  Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with (涉及) special fields of learning. There"s so much to learn that one kind of school can"t offer it all.

13.Trees should only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good reason for doing so. Many gardeners believe that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.
  First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. A tree may grow healthier by removing the branches that are locking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.
  One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry (進(jìn)入) for diseases, but it is a wound that will heal. Often there is a race between the healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die. Pruning is usually clone in winter, for then you can see the shape of the tree clearly without the interference from the leaves.

According to the article, which of the following statement is NOT true?

A．Pruning is necessary when there are unwanted branches.
B．Damage is done to a tree if it is left to grow in its own way.
C．Diseased or dead branches should be cut away if they are found to rub against each other.
D．Growing side branches often prevent air from moving freely.

14.
Which of the following usually causes a tree to grow unhealthy?

A．Giving a tree a special shape and a definite height.
B．Removing small side branches and making a tree look less thick.
C．Allowing too many branches to grow in the middle.
D．Having a tree surrounded by many other trees.

15.
The wounds result from pruning will do the following EXCEPT______.

A．damage the tree
B．heal itself
C．cause the disease
D．give the tree a desired shape

16.
The writer suggests that pruning should be done in winter because______.

A．the cut surface can heal more quickly
B．open wounds on the tree run the less risk of getting diseased
C．a(chǎn) gardener can do pruning more easily
D．the leaves can interfere

17.
The writer"s purpose when writing this passage is______.

A．to describe how pruning a tree is done
B．to discuss different ways of pruning trees
C．to give practical instructions for pruning a tree
D．to explain how a tree wound gets diseased and heals

19."We"re more than halfway (中途) now; it"s only two miles farther to the tavern (客棧) ," said the driver.
  "I"m glad of that," answered the stranger, in a more sympathetic way. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man"s throat if he tried to speak. The girl"s voice was quite attractive; however, later he spoke again.

25.On the fourth Thursday of November, every year, Americans celebrate Thanksgiving Day. The day is a national holiday which is set aside each year as a time to give thanks to God for our blessings (祝福).
