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.Long time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.
  Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.
  Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.
  We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.
  There is a saying in China, which is "Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years." It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.

The people in ancient times couldn"t travel too far away places because______.

A．they found it no use doing so
B．they liked staying at home
C．there was no modern transportation
D．they were forbidden to go to other countries

2.
The reason why people like to fly today is that______.

A．it is interesting
B．it is cheaper than to go in any other way
C．it can cross the wide oceans
D．it takes less time

3.
The modern people like traveling now because______.

A．it can bring us more knowledge
B．it can make us rich
C．they have too much money
D．it is a good idea

4.
The Chinese saying means“______”.

A．the farther a man goes, the more treasures he gets
B．the more a man sees, the more knowledge he gets
C．travelling is more interesting than reading
D．the farther a man goes, the more hooks he reads

6.The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak very good English." But the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, "Yes indeed, you speak English very well." But the Chinese student still kept saying "No". In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. What"s wrong with the student"s answer? It is because he did not accept a compliment(贊美的話)as the English people do. He should have said "Thank you" instead of "No". He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said "Thank you", that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say "Thank you". If someone says to a Woman "You look so beautiful with the new clothes on", she should be very happy and answer "Thank you". In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say "No, I"m afraid I can"t do it well", then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like "Let me have a try on the job" instead of "Yes, I can certainly do it," he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.

Why was the American surprised at the Chinese student"s answer?

A．Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.
B．Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.
C．Because he wouldn"t like others to say "No".
D．Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.

7.
According to the western culture, if one is given a compliment, he or she should say“______”.

A．Pardon
B．Thank you
C．Excuse me
D．Yes, thanks a lot

8.
Why does a man in the west who asks for a job say something like "Yes, I can certainly do it"?

A．Because to get the job he should give an impression that he"s just fit for the job.
B．Because he is not modest.
C．Because he could do nothing but speak that way.
D．Because he was eager to get the job.

9.
What does the passage tell us?

A．Confidence is more important than modesty.
B．How to accept compliments given by westerners.
C．The Chinese people are modest while westerners are confident.
D．The western culture.

11.Nine-year-old Louis Pasteur rushed into the little house, his face white.
  "Mother!" he cried, "A mad dog has bitten my friend Henry, and now they are burning him with red-hot irons. It"s terrible!"
  "Rabies(狂犬病), Louis. Burning the bites is the only hope of stopping Henry from catching the disease."
  Henry did get rabies and died, in great pain, some days later. Louis Pasteur never forgot that. "One day," he thought, "I must do something to help people like Henry."

16.The atmosphere and oceans are not the only parts of the environment being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E. O. Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, calls the depletion(枯竭、耗盡)of rain forest areas "the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs(恐龍)."
  Unlike some environmental issues, rain forests" depletion has fortunately received significant public and media"s attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forests the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazon"s rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well.: In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua-new Guinea, Malaysia, Burme, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.
  According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says that every minute,25 to 50 acres are cut down or burnt to the ground.
  The world"s growing population has been a primary reason of rain forests" destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of steps that would alleviate the destruction of the rain forests.
