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.Are you superstitious? No, of course not. Do you believe in magic (魔法), and luck charms (護(hù)身符), and elves or gremlins (小精靈) ? Certainly not, but if I should greet you with the usual How"s business?" You"ll answer "Oh, just so-so" although your business is profiting greatly. When you are successful in some venture you might say you were just lucky. And yet, you know it was probably due to your a bility and hard work. Why? Sometimes you knock on wood because wood was once a tree and there is a primitive belief that protective gods inhabit trees and knocking on wood attracts their attention so they may be credited with your successes.
  If I should sneeze, only the strongest of you could refrain(克制而不) from saying "God bless you". Why bless this unsanitary (不講究衛(wèi)生的) habit? Our ancestors believed that a sneeze opened the body to invasion by devils, and invoking (召喚) the name of God made the devils get out in a hurry. You may not realize it, but you express this same "devil invasion" when you say, "Whatever can have gotten into that child?" or "I wonder what possessed me to do that?"
  Although they may no longer be believed, evidences of superstitions that have had their origins in the primitive fear of the unknown still exist in modern language and gestures.

7.Everybody may have seen the film "Death on the Nile (尼羅河) ," but nobody can imagine that the writer of the story, Agatha Christie, saved a baby in a most unusual way.
  In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Deleville. Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby was so seriously iii that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without any delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the baby"s illness, and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.
  "I think the baby is suffering from thallium (鉈) poisoning," said the nurse~ "A few days ago, I read a story "A Pale Horse" written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms (癥狀) are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the baby"s."
  "You"re very good at observing things, "said a doctor, "and you may be right. We"ll carry out some tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not."
  The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew that cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville. A week later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (殺蟲劑) used in Deleville.

13.Edmund Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago. He studied the observations of comets (彗星) ,which other scientists had made. The orbit (軌道) of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
  However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (橢圓形) .
  Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that appeared in the years 1531,1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit. Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
  This seemed very strange to Halley. Three different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again.
  It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halley"s prediction could be tested.
  In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet had been called Halley"s comet, in his honour.

19.It was Monday, Mrs. Smith"s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
  Considering that there was no better way, Mrs. Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it, "Give my dog half a pound of meat." Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, "Take this to the butcher (賣肉者) , and he"s going to give you your lunch today."
  Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher"s shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady"s handwriting and presently did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.
  At midday (正午), the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
  The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual it brought a piece of paper in. the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers.

To the butcher"s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o"clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, "This is a small dog.

25.Which of your two hands do you use more? Very few of us can use both hands equally well. Most of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but. in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as there are left-handed ones. Next time when you visit a zoo, you"ll see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.
