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.All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we do not know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it.
  Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switch yard(調(diào)車場). All of the switches are set before the train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some Switches we can see, others we cannot. There is no ambiguity (不明確) if we can see the setting of a switch; we can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize (實(shí)現(xiàn)) and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the en tire subsequent course of events.
  When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our "track" many billions of years into the future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.

According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the distant future of the universe because we ______.

A．have too many conflicting theories
B．do not have enough funding to continue our research
C．a(chǎn)re not sure how the universe is put together
D．have focused our investigations on the moon and planets

2.
What does the author see as the function of the universe" s unseen "switches" ?

A．They tell us which one of the tracks the universe will use.
B．They enable us to alter the course of universe.
C．They give us information about the lunar surface.
D．They determine which course the universe will take in the future.

3.
In Para. 3, the word "track" could best be replaced by which of the following?

A．band
B．rails
C．path
D．sequence

4.
For whom is the author probably writing this passage?

A．Train engineers.
B．General audience.
C．Professors of statistics.
D．Young children.

5.
Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage?

A．A statement illustrated by an analogy.
B．A hypothesis supported by documentation.
C．A comparison of two contrasting theories.
D．A critical analysis of a common assumption.

7.Look at a man walking down a street or road in" the sunlight and you will see his shadow. If you watch two men walking in the sunlight and carrying a six-fool pane(窗玻璃片) of glass between them, you will see each man six feet apart, but there will be no shadow of the pane of glass.
  Shadows are easily explained since we know that light travels in a straight line. We also know that light waves pass through some bodies and not through others.
  When light strikes a body and passes through it unchanged, we call such a body or material transparent. Most glass is such a material, especially window glass, and it is for this reason that we do not see the shadow of the window pane which the men are carrying. Do you know of any other transparent materials? The most common one, with which we are familiar, is air. Another is clear water.
  On the other hand, some materials do not let light pass through them at all. They stop the light waves just as you would-catch a ball that was being thrown to someone standing between you. Such materials are called opaque. Men" s bodies, like steel, rock, concrete or even cardboard, are opaque and do not permit the light to pass through. An opaque body casts a shadow.

The title that best expresses the ideas of the passage is ______.

A．Why are there shadows
B．The transparent materials

D．Shadows and light waves

13.The intelligence test used most often today are based on the work of a Frenchman, Alfred Bi net. In 1905, Binet was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those children in French schools who were too "mentally deficient (不足的)" to benefit from ordinary schooling and who needed special education. The tests had to distinguish those who were merely be hind in school from those who were actually mentally deficient.
  The items that Binet and his colleague Theophile Simon included on the test were chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence. Binet and Simon believed intelligence includes such abilities as understanding the meaning of words; solving problems, and making commonsense judgements. Two other important assumptions also shaped Binet" s and Simon" s work. (1) that children with more intelligence will do better in school and (2) that older children have a greater ability than younger children.
  Binet" s first test consisted of thirty tasks. They were simple things most children learn as a re ;suit of their everyday experiences. The tasks were arranged in groups, according to age. Binet decided which tasks were appropriate for a given age group by giving them first to a large number of children of different ages. If more than half of the children of a given age passed a test, it was considered appropriate for that age group.

The main purpose of this passage is to ______.

A．tell the origin of intelligence tests
B．explain the basic principle of intelligence tests
C．describe the changes in the content of intelligence tests
D．state the development of intelligence tests

14.
What was the purpose of the intelligence test designed by Alfred Binet in 1905?

A．To select, top students.
B．To know who had received ordinary schooling.
C．To put students in a right order.
D．To make sure who required particular treatment.

15.
Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A．Intelligence includes word understanding and problem solving.
B．More intelligent children usually do better in school.
C．The French Ministry of Education was charged with the development of first intelligence tests.
D．Intelligence is related with age.

16.
How did Binet decide which task to include on his first test?

A．He first worked out thirty tasks for mentally deficient children.
B．He first gave all the tasks to many children both younger and older.
C．He first gave the tasks to many children he thought appropriate.
D．He first gave some of the tasks to different groups of children.

17.
In the passage, the description of Binet" s intelligence test is developed in the order of ______.

A．its purpose, basis and contents
B．its purpose, items and tasks
C．its purpose, method and results
D．its purpose, basis and assumptions

19.Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probably came up in Egypt or Persia some 2500 years ago. Major Walter Wingfield thought that something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his new game, which he called Sphairistike, at a law party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly, but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and logical term "lawn tennis".
  By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and there, in the spring of 1874, Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.
  And just two years later, in 1876, the first United States lawn tennis tournament(錦標(biāo)賽) was held--at Nahant near Boston.

25.When God made the first man, he put him in a beautiful garden, the Garden of Eden. Here Ad am lived in peace with all the animals. God gave Adam eternal life. But Adam was lonely in the gar den, so God made Eve. When Adam was asleep one night, God took a rib from him and made Eve, the first woman.

He gave her an apple and said," Take this apple and eat it. Don" t listen to the God. Eat it. "After Eve took a bite, she the apple to Adam. He was afraid, but Eve repeated again and again: "It" s good. Here, eat it. Why not?" So he finally ate the apple.
