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.Mark went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The area"s city councilwoman (女議員) was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing. The neighborhood faced many problems. People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman. It was too much for Mark. "The problems are too big," he thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, "I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here."
  On his way back, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery hag and baby. She was trying to unlock her car, but she didn"t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly darted into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy"s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. "Thanks!" she said. "You"ve got great timing (適時(shí)) !"
  "Just being neighborly (友好的) ," Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the walls of the bus passed by. On one of them was "Small acts of kindness add up." Mark smiled and thought, "Maybe that"s a good place to start."

In the first paragraph, Mark thought that______.

A．nobody was so able as to solve these problems
B．many people were too selfish to think about others
C．he was not in the position to solve such problems
D．he already had more than enough work to do

2.
Which of the following statement is true?

A．Mark played an active part in community activities.
B．the city councilwoman was responsible for the decrease of life quality.
C．people were encouraged to give advice to solve these city problems.
D．many people were discouraged by the many problems facing them.

3.

A．walked
B．marched
C．wandered
D．dashed

4.
What is the implication of the words on the bus wall?

A．All small acts will add up to kindness.
B．It"s a small act to help a person in need.
C．Everyone can play his own part to make things better.
D．You should be kind to your neighbors and they will treat you the same way.

5.
The passage is mainly about______.

A．how individuals can help make a difference
B．running a neighborhood meeting to solve its problems
C．citizens" reactions to the problems they face
D．solving problems through group action

7.What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (樂觀者), a leader, an active person. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. At least this is what psychologists (心理學(xué)家) tell us. They have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (愛好), and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don"t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
  A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
  Remember that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don"t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.

According to this passage,______.

A．one can choose his color preference
B．one is born with his color preference
C．one"s color preference is changeable
D．one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly

D．one"s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings

13.Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One"s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short moment.
  At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.
  Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But When they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If you need help and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?" Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (氣餒); just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

Many people who first visit the United States will find that______.

A．America is a highly developed country
B．Americans are impatient and unfriendly people
C．the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble
D．American city people seem to be always in a rush

14.
When the author says "You will miss smile" in paragraph two, he means______.

A．you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendly
B．you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at you
C．you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happy
D．you will find that Americans don"t have much sense of humor

15.
In the author"s opinion,______.

A．it is true that life in America is much faster than that in any other city
B．people living outside big cities are lazy and miserable
C．most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big cities
D．those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly

16.
The author mentions big cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Paris______.

A．to show that city people all over the world have a lot in common
B．to let his readers be aware that they are some of the world"s biggest cities
C．to illustrate their difference from American cities
D．because they are some of the cities that attract visitors most

17.
If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will______.

A．offer his help
B．stop smiling at you
C．help you find the way
D．reply that he is pleased to meet you

19.It seems that beauty and women are twins. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screen, radio programs, magazines and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包圍) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
  But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called "aunt" or "granny" can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart and concern for others.
  In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.
  Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one"s heart and looks.

Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins?

A．Women are born to be beauties.
B．Women like to show off their beauties
C．Women are proud of their beauty
D．Women try to maintain their beauty by dressing up

20.
According to the author, in order to stay young and attractive, women should______.

A．follow the fashion
B．enrich their mind
C．do more exercise
D．dress up in beautiful clothes

21.
Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．As a woman grows old, her beauty will gradually disappear.
B．A woman with a young mind never feels old.
C．Even a plainly dressed woman may have pure and real beauty.
D．However old she is, a woman with some excellent qualities can still maintain her beauty.

22.
The word "relative" in paragraph 3 most probably means______.

A．similar
B．related
C．different
D．independent

23.
The author believes that______.

A．women should lay more emphasis on their own qualities
B．beautiful clothes can make women more attractive
C．women have to show their beauty through their looks
D．women are more curious about new things than men

25.Roman soldiers in some places built long rows of signal towers. When they had a message to send, the soldiers shouted it from tower to tower. If there were enough towers and enough soldiers with loud voices, important news could be sent quickly over distance.
  In Africa, people learned to send messages by beating on a series of large drums (鼓). Each drum was kept within hearing distance of the next one. The drum beats were sent out in a special way that all the drummers understood. Though the messages were simple, they could be sent at great speed for hundreds of miles.
  In the eighteenth century, a French engineer found a new way to send short messages. In this way, a person held a flag in each hand and the arms were moved to various positions representing different letters of the alphabet (字母表). It was like spelling out words with flags and arms.
  Over a long period of time, people sent messages by all these different ways. However, not until the telephone was invented in America in the nineteenth century could people send speech sounds over a great distance in just a few seconds.

According to this passage, the Roman way of communication depended very much on______.

A．fine weather

28.
Which country"s way of communication made use of visible signs?
