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.It has been shown that children who smoke have certain characteristics. Compared with non-smokers they are more rebellious, their work deteriorates as they move up school, they are more likely to leave school early, and are more often delinquent and sexually precious. Many of these features can be summarized as anticipation of adulthood.
  There are a number of factors, which determine the onset of smoking, and these are largely psychological and social. They include availability of cigarettes, curiosity, rebelliousness, appearing thought, anticipation of adulthood, social confidence, the example of parents and teachers, and smoking by friends and older brothers and sisters.
  It should be much easier to prevent children from starting to smoke than to persuade adults to give up the habit once established, but in fact this has proved very difficult. The example set by people in authority, especially parents, health care workers, and teachers, is of prime importance. School roles should forbid smoking by children on the premises. This role has been introduced at Summerhill School where I spent my schooldays.
  There is, however, a risk of children smoking just to rebel against the rules, and even in those schools which have tried to enforce no smoking by corporal punishment there is as much smoking as in other schools. Nevertheless, banning smoking is probably on balance beneficial. Teachers too should not smoke on school premises, at least not in front of children.

In this passage the author puts an emphasis on ______.

A．the effect of smoking among children
B．the difficulty in preventing children from smoking
C．the reasons why children start smoking among children
D．the measures to ban smoking among children

2.
Which of the following is a common characteristic of young smokers?

A．Disobedience.
B．Laziness.
C．Lack of intelligence.
D．Vanity.

3.
Which of the following is NOT tree according to the passage?

A．Some children start to smoke out of curiosity.
B．Many children start to smoke because they want to appear mature.
C．In order to have fewer children smokers, parents, teachers and health care workers should not smoke.
D．It is not as difficult to prevent children from starting to smoke as to persuade adults from smoking.

4.
The writer concludes that school rules to forbid smoking ______.

A．should be introduced, for it really works at the school where he once studied
B．should not be introduced, for it may cause disturbance
C．should be introduced though it may not work effectively
D．needn"t be introduced as long as teachers don"t smoke in front of children

5.
The author"s attitude towards his writing is ______.

A．objective
B．emotional
C．critical
D．indifferent

7.The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights, radios, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure, people grope about in fickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.
  Yet, people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
  All living cells sent out tiny pulses of electricity. As the heart beats, it sends off pulses of electricity that can be measured and recorded at the surface of the body. When the pulses are recorded, they form. an electrocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain, too, sends out brain waves of electricity, which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small -- often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effect can be astonishing.
  The electric eel is an amazing living storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. (An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four-fifths of all the cells in the electric eel"s body are specialized for generating electricity, and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Electric eels are potentially dangerous.
B．Biology and electricity appear to be closely related.
C．People would be at a loss without electricity.
D．Scientists still have much to discover about electricity.

8.
The author mentions all of the following as results of a blackout EXCEPT ______.

A．refrigerated food item may go bad
B．traffic lights do not work
C．people must rely on candlelight
D．elevators and escalators do not function

9.
Why does the author mention electric eels?

A．To warn the reader to stay away from them.
B．To compare their voltage to that used in houses.
C．To give an example of a living electrical generator.
D．To describe a new source of electrical power.

10.
How many volts of electricity can an electric eel emit?

A．1,000.
B．800.
C．200
D．120

11.
It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is the ______.

A．more beneficial it will be to science
B．more powerful will be its electrical charge
C．easier it will be to find
D．tougher it will be to eat

13.Cultures tend to favor either a past, or future orientation with regard to time. A future orientation, encompassing a preference for change, is characteristic of American culture. The society encourages people to look to the future rather than to the past. Technological, social, and artistic trends change rapidly and affect people"s life styles and their relationships.
  Given the inclination toward change, it is not surprising that tradition plays a limited role in the American culture. Those who try to uphold traditional pattern of living or thought may be seen as rigid or "old-fashioned". In a society where change is so rapid, it is not uncommon for every generation to experience a "generation gap". Sometimes parents struggle to understand the values of their children, even religious institutions have had to adapt to contemporary need of their followers. Folk singers in church services, women religious leaders, slang versions of the Bible, all reflect attempts made by traditional institutions to "keep up with the times".
  High rates of change, particularly in urban areas, have contributed to a focus on the future rather than the past or present. Some Americans believe that the benefits of the future orientation are achievement and progress which enable them to have a high standard of living. Others believe that high blood pressure and stomach ulcers are the results of such a life style.
  As individuals in a culture, we all have an intuitive understanding about how time is regulated, usually we do not think about the concept of time until we interact with others who have a different time orientation. Although individuals from any now cultures may view time similarly, we often sense that in another culture, life seems to proceed at either a slower or faster pace. Knowing how time is regulated, divided, and perceived can provide valuable insights into individuals and their culture.

The American orientation toward the future might be demonstrated by ______.

A．the presence of religious institutions
B．the preference for "old-fashioned" parents
C．the limited role of tradition
D．the presence of folk singers in church services

14.
Which of the following represents the author"s view about the American culture?

A．The fast pace produces nothing but ulcers and high blood pressure.
B．It is not clearly told in the passage.
C．The fast pace permits technological and scientific progress which benefits all people.
D．He is not quite sure whether the American culture is agreeable.

15.
Which could be the best title for this passage?

A．American Culture.
B．Benefits of Future Orientation.
C．The Regulation of Time.
D．Time and Culture.

16.
Which of the following statements is true?

A．Some cultures favor the past time.
B．Some cultures have the tendency to favor the present time.
C．Some cultures tend to favor the future time.
D．All of the above.

17.
We can infer from the passage that ______.

A．people of different generations may have the same view towards life, work and play
B．people of the same generation share the same view towards life, work and play
C．people of different generations may have different views towards life, work and play
D．nuclear family members share the same view towards life, work and play

19.The world is known to us through many senses, not just hearing, smell, vision, and at close range, touch and taste.
  Our skins let us know whether the air is moist or dry, whether surfaces are wet without being sticky or slippery. From the uniformity of slight pressure, we can be aware how deeply a finger is thrust into water at body temperature, even if the Anger is enclosed in a rubber glove that keeps the skin completely dry. Many other animals, with highly sensitive skins, appear to be able to learn still more about their environment. Often they do so without employing any of the five senses.
  By observing the capabilities of other members of the animal kingdom, we come to realize that a human being has far more possibilities than are utilized. We neglect ever so many of our senses in concentrating on the five major ones. At the same time, a comparison between animals and man draws attention to the limitation of each sense. The part of the spectrum (光譜) seen by colour-conscious man as red is non-existent for honey-bees. But a bee can see far more in flowers than we, because the ultra-violet (紫外線) to which our eyes are blind is a stimulating (刺激的) part of the insect"s spectrum, and, for honey-bees at least, constitutes a separate colour.

From the passage we realize that ______.

A．man possesses far more senses than the five major ones
B．man possesses a few more senses than animals
C．man possesses as many senses as animals
D．man has fully utilized his senses

20.
Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Man is more colour-conscious than the honey-bee.
B．The honey-bee is blind to red.
C．The honey-bee can see far more colours than man.
D．Man is sensitive to the ultra-violet.

21.
We can realize how deeply a finger is put into water at body temperature ______.

A．from the sense of direct touch
B．through the difference in temperature
C．through skin contact
D．from the even distribution of pressure

22.
The phrase "sensitive skins" (Line 6, Para.2) most probably means ______.

A．skins that are quick to feel and respond
B．skins that are delicate
C．skins that are completely dry
D．skins that are sticky or slippery

23.
What is the main idea of the passage?

A．All senses have their limitations.
B．Insects are more sensitive to colours than man.
C．Man has not fully utilized all his senses.
D．Man is not as good as animals in learning about the environment.
