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.It is possible to stop most drug addiction in the United states within a very short time. Simply make all drugs available and sell them at cost. Label each drug with a precise description of what effect-good and bad-the drug will have on the taker. This will require heroic honesty.
  For the record, I have-once-almost every drug and like none, disproving the popular theory that taking a single smoke of opium will enslave the mind. Nevertheless many drugs are bad for certain people to take and they should be told why in a sensible way.
  Along with advice and warning, it might be good for our citizens to recall that the United States was the creation men who believed that each man has the right to do what he wants with his own life as long as he does not interfere with his neighbor’s pursuit of happiness.
  Now one can hear the warning，if everyone is allowed to take drugs, everyone will, and the gross national product will decrease and we shall end up a race of fools. Alarming thought. Yet it seems most likely that any reasonably healthy-minded person will become a drug addict if he knows in advance what addiction is going to be like.
  Is everyone reasonably sensible? No. Some people will always become drug addicts just as some people will always become drunken, and it is just too bad. Every man, however, has the power to kill himself if he chooses. But since most men don’ t, they won’t be the majority, either. Nevertheless, forbidding people things they like or think they might enjoy only makes them want those things all the more. This psychological insight is ，for some mysterious reason ,denied by our governors.

C．to make the buying and selling of ail drugs illegal

A．taking drugs once in a while will not be harmful

3.
According to the author,，forbidding people to take drugs is______.

A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks；while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.

13.The English, as a race，have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. Including their close neighbors, the French, Belgians and Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguished him from other nationalities.
  Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people who knows very well. When he meets with strangers of foreigners, he often seems uneasy, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a commuter train any morning or evening to see the truth of this, serious-looking businesses and women sit reading their newspaper or dozing in a corner, no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most usual. An English wit, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “on entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers. ”Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior. which, if bro ken, makes the person immediately the object of suspicion.
  It is a well-known fact that the English have an obsession with their weather and that, given half a chance, they will talk about it in length. Some people argue that it is because English weather forecast is undependable, as a result, English weather is a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly Englishmen cannot have much faith in the meteorological experts-the weathermen-who, after promising glorious, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong when an anti-cyclone or as inaccurate as the weathermen in his prediction. This helps to explain the seemingly odd sight of an Englishman leaving home on a bright, sunny summer morning with a raincoat slung over an arm and an umbrella in his hand. So variable is the weather that by lunch time there could be thundering.
  The overseas visitors may be excused for showing surprise at the number of references to weather that the English make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conventional greetings are re placed by comments on the weather. “Nice day，isn’ t?” “Beautiful ! ”may well be heard instead of “Good morning”, how are you? “Although the foreigner may consider this exaggerated and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his advantage. If he wants to start a conversation with an Englishman ( or woman) but is at a loss to know where to begin he would do well to mention the state of the weather.It is a safe subject, which will encourage even the most reserved Englishmen to enter into a conversation.

What is the reason that the Englishmen enter into a conversation?

A．Because the English have developed many different attitudes and habits.
B．Because living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it.
C．Because the English are quite shy and reserved.
D．Because an Englishman often seems uneasy, even embarrassed when he meets with strangers or foreigners.

14.
What does “meteorological experts ”mean in paragraph three?

A．predictors
B．witch
C．weathermen
D．a(chǎn) kind of Englishman

15.
Why does the common man in England seem to be as accurate - or as inaccurate - as the weatherman in his prediction ?

A．Because the weather in England is so variable.
B．Because the common man in England has as much knowledge about weather as the weathermen.
C．Because by lunchtime there could be thunder and lightening in England.
D．Because English weather always defies forecast.

16.
In England, which of the following greetings are more likely to be heard?

A．What a beautiful day!
B．Good morning, how are you ?
C．How do you do?
D．Nice to meet you!

17.
In the following, which subject is the safest one to start a conversation?

A．Salary
B．Privacy
C．Politics
D．Weather

19.The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label：“store in the refrigerator.”
  In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher (肉商)， the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus (剩余) bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.
  The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried techniques already existed-natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling…
  What refrigeration did promote was marketing-marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.
  Consequently, most of the world s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house-while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.
  The fridge" s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contrinbution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don’t believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers, but at least you’ ll get rid of that terrible hum.

The statement “In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthily.”(Line 1, Para. 2) suggests that______.

A．the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fifties
B．the author was not accustomed to using fridges even in his fifties
C．there was no fridge in the author" s home in the 1950s
D．the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s

20.
Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges ?

A．People would not buy more food than was necessary.
B．Food was delivered to people two or three times a week.
C．Food was sold fresh and did not get rotten easily.
D．People had effective ways to preserve their food.

21.
Who benefited the least from fridges according to the author?

A．Inventors.
B．Consumers.
C．Manufacturers.
D．Traveling salesmen.

22.
Which of the following phrases in the fifth paragraph indicates the fridge’ s negative effect on the environment?

A．“Hum away continuously”.
B．“Climatically almost unnecessary”.
C．Artificially-cooled space”.
D．“with mild temperatures”.

23.
What is the author" s overall attitude toward fridges?

A．Neutral.
B．Critical.
C．Objective.
D．Compromising.

25.Have you ever dreamed of traveling in space? It was impossible a hundred years ago, nor was it 50 years ago. With the coming of the Space Age, man’ s dream of visiting the moon has come true.
  The journey to the moon has been the first step towards future explorations in space. The distance between the moon and the Earth is very short indeed when compared with the distances between Earth and the other planets. Mars, the nearest planet to Earth is of miles away ! Traveling to the planets or travels between planets will be man’ s next aim. Such travels will be more difficult than the trip to the moon and certainly more exciting.
  Recently, two American unmanned spacecraft, Vikings 1 and 2, landed on Mars in an attempt to discover whether that planet had any life on it. So far the presence of life on Mars has neither been proved nor ruled out. Russian space-probes have discovered that the surface of Venus is so hot that it is almost certain that there is no life there. Also the atmosphere of Venus is extremely, dense and the pressure is nearly a hundred times greater than the pressure of the Earth’s atmosphere.
  Scientists believe that in the future, space stations can be built in space. These stations can act as stop-over points in space. Spacecraft can refuel at these stations and get their supply of air, food and water.
  Spaceships of the future will be bigger and faster. They will be able to carry passengers for trips to the moon or planets.
  Man may in the future find planets which have the same conditions as those we have on Earth, and make them his home. However such a possibility is still in the distant future. At the same time, Man should realize that the Earth will be his only home for a long time and begin to value and care for it.

Which of the following statements is true?

A．Recently, two American astronauts have landed on Mars.
B．The surface of Mars is very hot.
C．The journey to the moon started the future exploration in space.
D．There is life in Venus.

28.
Spaceships of the future will be ______.
