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.Kleptomania is an illness of the mind that gives a person the desire to steal. Such a person is not really a thief. They are sick and cannot help themselves. All small children act naturally and as they grow up they normally learn to control their actions. People with kleptomania for certain medical reasons have failed to develop control over their desire to take things that do not belong to them. With medical help they may become normal citizens again. The things that a kleptomaniac steals are seldom of great value. They often give away what they have stolen or collect objects without using them.

What is the topic of the text?

A．Young Thieves
B．An Unusual Illness
C．Reasons for Stealing
D．A Normal Child"s Actions

5.Oxford is a very old town on the River Thames, about 60 miles from London. Unlike modern university towns, where you usually find the university on the edge of the town, or on its own campus (校園), Oxford"s center is the university; and all around the crossroads at the very heart of Oxford, Carfax, there are grey stone colleges and other university buildings. In the center you can also find interesting old restaurants. There are a lot of churches, and a few really large and interesting buildings, such as the Ashmolean Museum, the "round" library, the Bodleian and Radcliffe Camera. Like all English towns, there are parks, and one" The Parks" is the home of university cricket(板球) in the summer months. As you leave the center and go towards the edge of Oxford you can see industrial areas in one direction; and in another, beautiful suburbs(郊區(qū)). There is, in fact, quite a lot of industry in Oxford.

The passage introduces to us ______.

A．a(chǎn)n old industrial center
B．a(chǎn) well-known university

10.On the morning of November 18,1735, an earthquake shook Boston, Massachusetts. John Winthrop, a professor at Harvard College, felt the quake and awoke. "I rose," Winthrop wrote, "and lighting a candle, looked on my watch, and found it to be 15 minutes after four." John Winthrop walked quickly downstairs to the grandfather"s clock. It had stopped three minutes before, at 4 " 11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel to the floor.
  The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some long glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the box for safekeeping. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum. Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of the quake"s motion by a shock coming from the northwest, perhaps in Canada.

This passage suggests that ______.

A．John Winthrop had difficulty in sleeping
B．earthquakes are common in Boston
C．Boston was a center for clock-making
D．John Winthrop was a scientist

11.
The last sentence of paragraph I suggests that ______.

A．the earthquake was not severe (= violent, serious)
B．the key of the clock was lost
C．the clock was broken up
D．the earthquake was Very serious

A．man is often unable to control the power of nature
B．earthquakes occur most often during nighttime hours
C．the direction of an earthquake can be detected (= discovered)
D．university study the cause of earthquakes

13.

D．4:15 p.m.

15.The killer bees are coming! By the time you read this they will have reached Texas. By the mid-1990s, they will have reached all the warmer areas of the United States. Scientists as well as farmers wait for them with a mixture of fear and wonder.
  The killer bees should not be coming at all. Nature did not put them on this direct path for the United States; human beings did. The killer bees are from Africa. But in 1957 a scientist from Brazil got some of these killer bees for his experiments. The aim was to produce a better bee. However, an accident happened: a guest beekeeper let twenty-six of the queen bees escape by mistake. Before long, groups of killer bees took off for the woods.
  Since that time, the wild killer bees have multiplied(繁衍) many times over. By 1998, their population was over 1015. They have spread all over South America, Central America, and most of Mexico. The United States is the next stop.
  Are the killer bees really killers? Yes, they are. In their first thirty years in America, they have killed thousands of hens, pigs, and other animals. While no one knows the exact number, it is believed that several hundred people have also been killed.
  So be careful. Killer bees are on the way. Scientists have no idea what to do with them yet. There must be a way.

We know from the passage that killer bees will spread to the United States ______.

A．from north
B．from south
C．from west
D．from east

16.
The killer bees were brought to Brazil in order to ______.

A．make an African bee
B．kill the local bees

A．a(chǎn) beekeeper
B．a(chǎn) guest
C．a(chǎn) scientist
D．a(chǎn) queen

18.

A．experiments are often very threatening
B．beekeepers are the most dangerous people
C．the greatest danger often comes from man himself
D．warmer areas are full of fear and wonder

1.Dear Mr. Mills,
  In reply to your letter of April 20, I would【21】to inform(通知) you that there are a【22】of beautiful summer cottages(小別墅) for sale here in Ocean City.
  For example, we have a modern two-storey house that is【23】up to date. It is two blocks from the sea and you may find this a disadvantage(不利), but,【24】all, the opening of the summer【25】is only a few weeks from now, and finding a house【26】to the ocean than that is【27】out of the question. The house I"m speaking of has two bedrooms and a porch(門廊) that can be【28】for sleeping. For this reason, I consider it as a very good buy. The plumbing(給水管道) is out of order at the【29】, but this will be repaired, of course. The price is reasonable; as a matter of fact, it is less than is being asked for comparable(同等的) houses elsewhere in town.
  As a rule, I【30】 to deal with people face to face in matters of this kind.【31】, I will be out of town next week, and I don"t think you should delay in【32】 your decision about this house, since it is sure to be sold quickly. Under the circumstances (環(huán)境),【33】, I suggest that you come to see it as【34】 as possible. You can deal with one of my assistants in the office. I am sure you will find the house is【35】 what you expect.
                               Sincerely yours,
                              Jason Riggs, Manager
                         Ocean City Real Estate Company
