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."Congratulations, Mr. Jones, it"s a girl."
  Fatherhood is going to have a different meaning and bring forth a different response from every man who hears these words. Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good fathers. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples pregnancy (懷孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.
  Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.
  It is argued by some writers that the transition to the father"s role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as transition the wife must made to the mother"s role. The mother"s role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative (創(chuàng)新) adaptation, on the other hand, the father"s role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.

According to the author, being a father ______.

A．brings a feeling of excitement to some men
B．has a different meaning for those who have daughters
C．makes some men feel proud and other uneasy
D．means nothing but more responsibilities

2.
It is stated in the passage that ______.

A．some parents are not prepared to have a child
B．young couples do not like children at all
C．working couples do not have much time to take care of their children
D．many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child

3.
In the second paragraph, the author ______.

A．criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their children
B．excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a father
C．supports the idea that chief role of a father is to earn money for the family
D．complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father

4.
The transition to the mother"s role requires that the wife ______.

A．change her life style. in a highly innovative way
B．make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situation
C．stay at home to take care of the baby
D．help her husband in his resocialization process

5.
Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers, ______.

A．have to shoulder more burdens
B．have to make more different adaptations
C．have an easier job to do
D．have a heavy job to do

7.Two men on a touring holiday of Britain were injured by an explosion in their motor van in the centre of Norwich yesterday.
  Shoppers, traders and businessmen in Red Lion Street were shocked by a loud bang, and seconds later the two men jumped over from the vehicle, which had stopped outside Barclays Bank. Several people rushed to give assistance and helped to put out the fire inside the vehicle, a light American truck converted to provide living accommodation, before Norwich firemen arrived.
  The men--American Mr. Gary House, aged 25, of Ohio, who was driving, and his passenger Mr. Charles Lynn, 23, of Vancouver--were taken to Norfolk and Norwich Hospital with minor bums. They were allowed to leave after treatment.
  "I heard this explosion, it was pretty loud. I thought it could have been a bomb." Said Mr. Webster, manager of the market, who was working in his office in Red Lion Street. "I looked out of the window and saw this lad leap from the van and roll on the ground. Then another lad came out of the van. He seemed to be in a worse state--parts of his trousers were hanging below his knee."
  "I came downstairs to get a fire extinguisher, but by the time I got outside someone from the bank was in the van with an extinguisher."
  Mr. Webster, who lives at 71, Trinity Street, Norwich, said both victims were shocked. One was taken into the market office to await an ambulance. "The second men insisted on going back into the van to see if everything was all right, and five minutes later he came out with a drawer that was blazing," he added. The explosion was also heard inside the bank. Staff provided a fire extinguisher and telephoned for an ambulance.
  Although a plastic window was blown out, damage inside the vehicle was mainly superficial. The two men spent the last six months touring the Continent and had traveled to Norwich from Sheterton. At the time of the accident their wives were shopping in the city.

19.In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and the receiver.
  The means of receiving communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, heating, and touch play the most important roles.
  Example of visual communication are gesture and mini-cry. Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags or flashing lights. Feeling may be simply communicated by touch, such as handshaking , although a highly developed system of handshaking has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form. of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.
  The means of communication mentioned so far have two feature in common; they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore all are restricted in time and space.
