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.Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people" s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught——to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle——compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it him self. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer to that problem is, whether or not this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
  If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can" t find the way to get the right answer. Let" s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn and how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learned at school and used for the rest of one" s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?" Don"t worry! If it is essential, They will go out into the world and learn it.

What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?

A．By copying what other people do.
B．By making mistakes and having them corrected.
C．By listening to explanations from skilled people.
D．By asking a great many questions.

2.
What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?

A．They give children correct answers.
B．They point out children" s mistakes to them.
C．They allow children to mark their own work.
D．They encourage children to copy from one another.

3.
The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are ______ .

A．not really important skills
B．more important than other skills
C．basically different from learning adult skills
D．basically the same as learning other skills

4.
Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children" s progress should be estimated only by ______ .

A．educated persons
B．the children themselves
C．teachers
D．parents

5.
The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are ______ .

A．too independent of others
B．too critical of themselves
C．unable to think for themselves
D．unable to use basic skills

7.According to figures from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average weekly income for a woman in 1983 was $ 260. For the same year, men had average weekly earnings of $ 393. For some people, these figures are clear evidence that there is still sex discrimination in the area of pay in the U. S. However, I would argue that this explanation is too simple. In order to get an accurate picture of the situation, we must examine the types of jobs which are typically held by men and by women. When we do this, we find that certain occupations seem to be primarily female while others seem to be primarily male occupations. In the medical and legal professions, for example, statistics show that 85% of all doctors and lawyers are men (although this situation is changing). More than 90% of all engineers are men. Women, however, have been the majority for a long time in other occupations. For example, 99 out of every 100 secretaries are women, and 95% of all nurses are female. From these statistics, it is clear that women tend to enter certain occupations and not others. The occupations which they enter are often in service industries and often have one common feature: They do not pay well. It can be argued that this is the principal reason for the difference in earnings between men and women. In addition, we can expect the pay situation to change in the future, because more qualified women are beginning careers in medicine, law, business, scientific research, and engineering.

What jobs have typically been held by women?

A．Jobs as doctors and lawyers.
B．Jobs in service industries.
C．Jobs in areas without sex discrimination.
D．Jobs in areas where women are respected.

8.
which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The majority of people working in medical prfessions are male.
B．The difference between men" s pay and women" s pay will become larger and larger.
C．There is still a differencer between the earnings of men and women.
D．Women and men will exchange theil jobs in most areas.

9.
In the opinion of the writer, why do women still earn less money than men?

A．Some professions are not suitable for women.
B．The principle of" equal pay for equal work" isn" t observed.
C．It is very difficult to change people" s attitude towards the roles of women.
D．Women are often in the majority in low-paying jobs.

10.
Accrding to the passage, what can we expect in the legal profession in the future?

A．There will be more male lawyers.
B．The number of female lawyers will rise.
C．The salaries of female lawyers will increase.
D．Male and female lawyers will get equal pay.

11.
What is the author"s attitude towards the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics?

A．Critical
B．Supportive
C．Negative
D．Encouraging

13.Man"s first roan invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of an] inventions, because there are no wheels in nature no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.
  It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick, this would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle, thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first cart.

The wheel is important because ______ .

A．it was man" s first real invention
B．a(chǎn)ll transportation depends on it
C．every machine depends on it
D．both B and C

14.
The wheel is called ______ .

A．simple
B．complicated
C．strange
D．unusual

15.
It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because ______ .

A．it led to many other inventions
B．man had no use for it then
C．there were no wheels in nature
D．a(chǎn)ll of the above

16.
The wheel was probably invented by ______ .

A．a(chǎn) group of early hunters
B．the first men on earth
C．a(chǎn) great prehistoric thinker
D．the man who made the first cart

17.
This selection says that the first wheel may have been a ______ .

A．round piece of stone
B．heavy log
C．piece of metal
D．slice of log

19.Eating in space is different from eating on earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He "shoots" hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.
  Other foods come in bite size. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There can be no crumbs. Crumbs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sixed pieces. Astronauts can" t drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn this way.

Some space foods are carded in ______ .

A．water guns

C．Astronauts will only eat cakes made from crumbs.
D．Astronauts have to go hungry in a spaceship.

25.The energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (馬力)per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy in directly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of power. Coal represents the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in with the sun" s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.

How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?

D．our scientific knowledge is not sufficient

27.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．Even windmill" s action depends on the sun.
B．The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of.
C．Some day man will be able to utilize 100 % of the solar energy that gets to the earth.
D．The sun produces different heating effects in different places.

28.
In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that ______ .

A．a(chǎn) machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developed
B．the sun is our final source of power
C．man uses only a tiny part of the sun"s energy
D．the part of the sun"s energy we use is used indirectly

29.
This passage centers mainly on ______ .

A．harnessing energy through chemistry
B．our last source of power
C．how water power is produced
D．the amount of solar energy that can be utilized
