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.In May 1927, at least four different people were planning to fly between New York and Paris. On the morning of 20 May, none of them had done so, yet Lindbergh took off from New York in his small plane. It was heavy with fuel and it seemed it would never get off the ground. Lindbergh hit several wet spots on the airfield and bounced dangerously. He got into the air just in time to avoid a tractor and some telegraph wires at the end of the field.
  For the first eleven hours he flew along the Atlantic coastline. When he turned towards the open ocean, he had flown almost as far and as long as Alcook and Brown had in 1919.It was getting dark and the worst part of the flight was just beginning.
  First, there was a freezing fog. For a time he avoided this by flying lower over the water. But then the fog came down to the tops of the waves. Lindbergh flew higher but it was so cold that ice formed on the wings. In the black darkness he shook the ice off by diving and turning sharply. Twenty-four hours had passed now, he was terribly tired. He was still over the Atlantic in darkness. He ate nothing because he thought it would be easier to stay awake on an empty stomach. Then dawn came. He saw a few fishing boats below. He dived down, switched off his engine and called out, "which way is Ireland?" The fishermen were too surprised to answer. But a few minutes later he was over the Irish coast. He had navigated by his own calculations and a few simple instruments. He flew on over England and crossed Paris. A huge, excited crowd of 100,000 people were waiting for him when he landed. He had flown for thirty-three and a haft hours. It is probably the most famous fight in history.

Lindbergh found it hard to take off because ______.

A．the airfield was wet
B．he took too much fuel with him
C．a(chǎn) tractor almost blocked the runway
D．it was too dark to see well

C．He was not hungry.
D．It was difficult to eat while flying a plane.

4.
How did he find Ireland?

7.The difference between biological and physical science is not that one is inexact, the other exact, but in degree of exactness, this being related to the number of variables which must be dealt with simultaneously and the extent to which they can be controlled. In general, the biological sciences must deal with larger errors than the physical sciences; but this is not uniformly true, as the student will realize when he considers the accuracy of meteorological prediction or if he comprehends the meaning of the fact that the structural engineer considers it necessary very often to use a safety factor of two or three hundred per cent. The statistical principles of dealing with error of measurement, or in prediction and generalization, are the same whether the errors are large or small. Statistics is not a means of confusing issues that would otherwise be clear, nor a substitute for obtaining clear answers, but a means of checking and controlling conclusions by providing an estimate of the error to which a conclusion is subject.

What do statistics do for science?

A．They get rid of intuition,
B．They make it more logical.
C．They reduce everything to numbers.
D．They give an idea of the amount of error involved.

8.
According to the writer, the exactness of a science is partly related to ______.

A．the skill of the scientist
B．the extent to which variables can be controlled
C．the requirements of the observer
D．the development of more accurate instruments

9.
Wben the error is small, the statistical principles used in dealing with it are ______ when the error is big.

A．simpler than
B．more difficult than
C．not yet understood
D．the same as

10.
How often is physical science more accurate than biological science?

A．Never.
B．Always.
C．Usually.
D．Occasionally.

11.
What is the author of this passage saying about meteorology?

A．It is becoming more accurate.
B．It is more accurate than the biological sciences.
C．It is more accurate than some of the measurements of structural engineers.
D．It is relatively inaccurate.
