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.Since the early 1980s, scientists have revealed some 40 human genes involved in cancer. These genes are essential for normal growth, but can be subverted to cause a tumor.
  Dr. Jorge Yunis of the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis has found that 70 percent of oncogenes, or cancer-causing genes, are located near inherited weak points on chromosomes(染色體). Varying from individual to individual, vulnerable to chemical carcinogens(致癌劑), X rays and other cancer-inducing agents.
  "If a chromosome snaps apart in the immediate vicinity of an oncogene," says Yunis, "normal genetic control mechanisms could break down and the stage would be set for the formation of cancer." Younis has shown that such a sequence occurs at the beginning of numerous leukemias (白血病), lymphomas(淋巴瘤) and some tumors of the lung, colon(結(jié)腸) and breast.
  Yunis and other investigators have found that petroleum-based products--notably pesticides and insecticides-damage specific sites on at least two of the 23 pairs of human chromosomes that carry genetic information. Similarly, tobacco smoke tends to attack a part of another chromosome.

From paragraph 1, we know that some 40 genes involving in cancer are ______. ( )

A．harmful to the human body
B．necessary to the human body
C．the elements that form. cancer
D．useless to the human body

2.
Where are most likely to be affected by caner-inducing agents according to the passage? ( )

A．The lung.
B．The colon.
C．The chromosomes.
D．The breast.

3.
According to the context, the word in "oncogenes" in para. 2 means ______. ( )

A．genes that can kill cancer
B．genes that will lead to leukemia
C．viruses that can kill AIDS
D．genes that will lead to cancer

4.
Under what conditions will the formation of cancer begin? ( )

A．When a chromosome breaks apart near an oncogene and its control functions fail.
B．When people drink too much and are easy to get tired.
C．When people smoke too much and are difficult to get to sleep.
D．When people eat too much petroleum-based products.

5.
Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? ( )

A．Scientific Findings.
B．Cancer-causing Genes.
C．Chromosome.
D．How Cancer Is Formed.

7.Your mind like your body is a thing where the powers are developed by effort. This is a principal use, as I see it, of hard work in studies. Unless you train your body you can"t be a good sportsman, and unless you train your mind you can"t be much of a scholar. The four miles a boatman covers at top speed is in itself nothing to the good, but the physical capacity to hold out over the distance is thought to be of some value. So a good part of what you learn by hard study may not be retained forever, and may not seem to be of much final value, but your mind is a better and more powerful instrument because you have learned it. "Knowledge is power," but still more the ability of acquiring and using knowledge is power. If you have a trained and powerful mind, you are bound to have stored it with something, its value is more in what it can do, what it can grasp and use, than in what it contains; and if it were possible, as it is not, to come out of college with a trained mind and nothing useful in it, you would still be ahead, and still, in a manner, educated.

The title that best expresses the main idea of this passage is ______. ( )

A．Knowledge Is Power
B．How to Retain and Use Knowledge
C．Physical and Mental Efforts
D．The Trained Mind Is What One Needs

8.
In his example the author tells his readers that ______. ( )

A．it is important to build up one"s physical capacity
B．it is no good having much physical training
C．it is more important to know one"s capacity than to win tile race
D．it is important to have physical training while one trains his mind

9.
The author emphasizes that many of the facts you acquire by hard study ______. ( )

A．deal with rules of health
B．will be forgotten
C．a(chǎn)re of no value
D．will be very useful

10.
The man leaving college with a trained mind ______. ( )

A．is certain to succeed
B．is successful in his studies
C．is considered an educated person
D．can grasp any problem

11.
After reading this passage, one gets to know that the author is ______. ( )

A．praising the college education
B．helping change the college education
C．giving his advice to the college education
D．criticizing the college education

13.Nursing at Beth Israel Hospital the best patient care possible. If we are to solve the nursing shortage, hospital administration and doctors everywhere would do well to follow Beth Israel"s example.
  At Beth Israel each patient is assigned to a primary nurse who visits at length with the patient and constructs a full-scale health account that covers everything from his medical history to his emotional state. Then she writes a care plan centered on the patient"s illness but which also includes everything else that is necessary.
  The primary nurse stays with the patient through his hospitalization, keeping track with his progress and seeking further advice from his doctor. If a patient at Beth Israel is not responding to treatment, it is not uncommon for his nurse to propose another approach to his doctor. What the doctor at Beth Israel has in the primary nurse is a true colleague.
  Nursing at Beth Israel also involves a decentralized nursing administration; Every floor, every unit is a self-contained organization. There are nurse-managers instead of head nurse; in addition to their medical duties they do all their own hiring and dismissing, employee advising, and they make salary recommendations. Each unit"s nurses decide among themselves who will work what shifts and when.
  Beth Israel"s nurse-in-chief ranks as an equal with other vice presidents of the hospital. She also is a member of the Medical Executive Committee, which in most hospitals includes only doctors.

Which of the following best characterizes the main feature of the nursing system at Beth Israel Hospital? ( )

A．The doctor gets more active professional support from the primary nurse.
B．Each patient is taken care of by a primary nurse day and night.
C．The primary nurse writes care plans for every patient.
D．The primary nurse keeps records of the patient"s health conditions every day.

14.
It can be inferred from the passage that ______. ( )

A．compared with other hospitals nurses at Beth Israel Hospital are more patient
B．in most hospitals patient care is inadequate from the professional point of view
C．in most hospitals nurses get low salaries
D．compared with other hospitals nurses have to work longer hours at Beth Israel Hospital.

15.
A primary nurse can propose a different approach of treatment when ______. ( )

A．the present one is refused by the patient
B．the patient complains about the present one
C．the present one proves to be ineffective
D．the patient is found unwilling to cooperate

16.
The main difference between a nurse-manager and a head nurse is that the former ______. ( )

A．is a member of the Medical Executive Committee of the hospital
B．has to arrange the work shifts of the unit"s nurses
C．can make decisions concerning the medical treatment of a patient
D．has full responsibility in the administration of the unit"s nurses

17.
The author"s attitude towards the nursing system at Bety Israel Hospital is ______. ( )

A．negative
B．neutral
C．critical
D．positive

19.Even plants can run a fever, especially when they"re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away——straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared (紅外線) scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide (殺蟲劑) spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don"t have pest (害蟲) problems.
  Even better, Paley"s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they be- came visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color, code map showing where plants were running "fevers". Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.
  The had news is that Paley"s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. "This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States", says George Oerther of Texas A&M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.

Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are ______. ( )

A．sprayed with pesticides
B．in pour physical condition
C．facing an infrared scanner
D．exposed to excessive sun rays

20.
In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to ______. ( )

21.
Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by ______. ( )

A．transforming poisoned rain
B．consulting infrared scanning experts
C．resorting to spot-spraying
D．detecting crop problems at an early date

22.
The application of infrared scanning technolgy to agriculture met with some difficulties due to ______.( )

A．the lack of official support
B．its high cost
C．its failure to help increase production
D．the lack of financial support

23.
Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of ______. ( )

A．growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops
B．the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce
C．the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture
D．full support from agricultural experts

25.The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. "In Europe", said Thomas Jefferson," the object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant." It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements (農(nóng)具) on their backs; by 1860,most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles New-bold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would have none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled-steel (冷淬鋼) plow.

What is the main topic of the passage? ( )

A．The need for agricultural advances to help feed a growing population.
B．The development of safer machines demanded by the labor movement.
C．Machinery that contributed to the agricultural revolution.
D．New Jersey as a leader in the agricultural revolution.

26.
The expression" make the most of" in Line 4 is closest in meaning to which of the following? ( )

A．Get the best yield from.
B．Raise the price of.
C．Exaggerate the worth of.
D．Earn a living on.

27.
Which of the following can be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson said? ( )

A．Europe was changing more quickly than America.
B．Europe had greater need of farm machinery than America did.
C．America was finally running out of good farmland.
D．There was a shortage of workers on American farms.

28.
What point is the author making by stating that farmers could carry nearly all their tools on their backs? ( )

A．Farmers had few tools before the agricultural revolutions.
B．Americans were traditionally self-reliant.
C．Life on the farm was extremely difficult.
D．New tools were designed to the portable.

29.
Why did farmers reject Newbold"s plow? ( )

A．Their horses were frightened by it.
B．They preferred lighter tools.
C．It was too expensive.
D．They thought it would ruin the land.
