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.Electronic books could revolutionize reading, but people ought to consider their far-reaching impacts as well. "The e-book promises to wreak a slow havoc (浩劫) on life as we know it," Jason Ohler, professor of technology assessment (評(píng)估), university of Alaska Southeast In Juneau, warned the World Future Society, Bethesda, Md. His assessment weighed the pros and cons (贊成和反對(duì)的理由) of e-book technology"s impact on social relationships, the environment, the economy, etc. Before you curl up (蜷曲) with an e-book, consider the disadvantages.
  They increase eyestrain due to poor screen resolution, replace a relatively cheap commodity with a more expensive one, and displace workers in print book production and traditional publishing. E-books make it easy to share data, thereby threatening copyright agreements and reducing compensation of authors, as well as creating nonbiodegradable (不可生物降解的) trash.
  On the other hand, e-books save paper and trees, reduce the burden of the carrying and storing of printed books, promote self-sufficiency in learning, and make reading a collaborative experience online. They also create new jobs for writers and artists and encourage self-publishing.
  In final analysis, Ohler points out, e-books should gain society"s approval if a few conditions are met: make them biodegradable and recyclable, solve the problem of eye fatigue (疲勞), be sure the "have-nots" get the technology, and support e-book training in schools and business.

What is the author"s purpose of writing the passage?

A．Draw people"s attention to the disadvantages of e-books.
B．Call on people to reject e-books.
C．Criticize schools and business that don"t provide e-books.
D．Encourage people to use e-books.

2.
What is Jason Ohler"s attitude towards e-books?

B．Indifferent.
C．Cautious.
D．Suspicious.

3.
In what sense do e-books exert a negative impact on the environment?

A．They are unable to be broken down into harmless products.
B．They consume a lot of natural resources.
C．They produce harmful gases.
D．They are capable of being reused.

4.
What is e-books" negative impact on social relationships?

A．They create new jobs only for writers.
B．Fewer and fewer people have access to new technology.
C．They may threaten some traditional trades.
D．They isolate people from one another.

5.
What does Ohler suggest regarding the use of e-books?

A．The society should ensure the poor have access to the technology.
B．The society should ban the use of e-books if they cannot reduce eye fatigue.
C．The society should approve of the use of e-books if they are made recyclable.
D．The schools should solve the present problems of e-books.

7.Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson spent her entire life in the household of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a person possessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room, sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white -- a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric.
  In their determination to read Dickinson"s life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life -- her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce"s 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850"s transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self sovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stem patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of "true womanhood."

What"s the author"s main purpose in the passage?

A．To interpret Emily Dickinson"s eccentric behavior
B．To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson
C．To discuss Emily Dickinson"s failed love affair
D．To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinson"s time

8.
Which of the following is not mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinson"s eccentricities?

A．Refusing to eat
B．Wearing only white
C．Avoiding visitors
D．Staying in her room

9.
According to the passage, biographers of Emily Dickinson have traditionally ______.

A．criticized most of her poems
B．ignored her innocence and emotional fragility
C．seen her life in romantic terms
D．blamed her parents for restricting her activities

10.
The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinson"s seclusion to ______.

A．physical illness
B．a(chǎn) failed love affair
C．religious fervor
D．her dislike of people

11.
It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a society that was characterized by ______.

A．strong Puritan beliefs
B．equality of men and women
C．the encouragement of nonconformity
D．the appreciation of poetic creativity

13.The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel. The first rails were made of iron. But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at high speeds. Railroad executives wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer. Before the 1870"s, however, steel was too expensive to be widely used. It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating, stirring and reheating iron ore.
  Then the inventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace would burn out the impurities that made the iron brittle. As the air shot through the furnace, the bubbling metal would erupt in showers of sparks. When the fire cooled, the metal had been changed, or converted to steel. The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel. Now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes.
  Just when the demand for more and more steel developed, prospectors discovered huge new deposits of iron ore in the Mesabi Range, a 120 long region in Minnesota near Lake Superior. The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels.
  Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to depots on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. With dizzying speed Gary, Indiana, and Toledo, Youngstown, and Cleveland, Ohio, became major steel manufacturing centers. Pittsburgh was the greatest steel city of ail.
  Steel was the basic building material of the industrial age. Production skyrocketed from seventy seven thousand tons in 1870 to over eleven million tons in 1900.

According to the passage, the railroad industry preferred steel to iron because steel was ______.

A．cheaper and more plentiful
B．lighter and easier to mold
C．cleaner and easier to mine
D．stronger and more durable

14.
According to the passage, how did Bessemer method make the mass production of steel possible?

A．It directed air at melted iron in a furnace, removing all impurities.
B．It slowly heated iron ore then stirred it and heated it again.
C．It changed iron ore into iron which was a substitute for steel.
D．It could quickly find deposits of iron ore under the ground.

15.
According to the passage, where were large deposits of iron uncovered?

A．In Pittsburgh.
B．In the Mesabi Range.
C．Near Lake Michigan.
D．Near Lake Erie.

16.
The words "Barges and steamers" could best be replaced by which of the following?

A．Trains.
B．Planes.
C．Boats.
D．Trucks.

D．a(chǎn) feeling of discontent among steel workers

19.Much of a parent"s job is to provide the gifts of caring, love, and emotional support to children. But one gift is often beyond their reach: the resources to meet the financial demands of college tuition.
  For more than 54 years, the United Negro College Fund has fulfilled the dreams of deserving students by closing the gap between the cost of college and what their parents can afford. More than 300,000 students have graduated from United Negro College Fund member colleges since 1944, and 54,000 more axe currently enrolled (入學(xué)).
  The oldest and most successful minority higher education support organization, the United Negro College Fund is a combination of 39 private, historically black member colleges and universities. Since its founding, it has raised more than $1.3 billion to keep the dream alive for needy families across the country.
  What is it that makes the United Negro College Fund so important to America"s families? As well as raising funds and giving technical support to member colleges and universities, it creates hope and opportunity by providing financial assistance to deserving students. Consider the contributions of just a few of the distinguished graduates who have realized the benefits: civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; opera diva Leontyne Price; Olympic track star Edwin Moses; and filmmaker Spike Lee.
