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.There are more than 100 million cars in the United States. A normal car gets less than 15 miles from each gallon of gas. It travels about 10,000 miles each year. In that time, it uses about 650 gallons of gas. In all, autos use up some 70 billion gallons of gas a year. That comes out to be four-and-a-half million barrels a day.
  The importance of saving gas, then, cannot be stressed too much. Let"s say, for instance, that the fuel used by each car could be cut back just 15 percent. This could be done by making fewer trips each day. It could be done through better driving habits. If it were done, our nation"s use of fuel would fall by close to two-thirds of a million barrels per day.
  We can all help save gas. One way is to ride the buses. Some of us could walk to work. We could ride mopeds(機動腳踏兩用車) or bikes. Another way is to share a ride. We could join carpools (合伙使用汽車). About one-third of all cars are used for going to and from work.
  Go shopping with a friend from time to time. If two people use a car instead of one, we all save. There would be fewer cars on the road. The savings on gas around the nation would come to more than one half million barrels a day.
  Another way to save is by cutting our useless trips. Can you find one car trip per week that could be handled by telephone? Can you combine trips? If each car took one less 10-mile trip a week, we could save three-and-half billion gallons of gas a year. This comes to nearly 5 percent of the total passenger car demand for gas.
  The way people drive decides how much fuel they save. Careful drivers may get20 percent more miles per gallon than normal drivers. They could get 50 percent more miles per gallon than wasteful drivers. Careful drivers obey the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit. They get to their desired speed quickly and keep a steady pace.
  If just one gallon of gas were saved each week for each car in the country, we could all save about five-and-half billion gallons a year.

To decrease the number of useless car trips, you can use the ______.

A．bus service
B．subway service
C．telephone
D．a(chǎn)irplane

2.
What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Americans need to save gas.

3.

A．a(chǎn)re required by law
B．will not cause any accidents
C．help to keep the car in good shape
D．help save gas

4.
If more people shared a ride, there would be ______.

A．fewer cars on the road
B．higher insurance rates
C．more highway accidents
D．more cars on the road

5.
This article means to say that a careful driver travels about ______.

A．75 miles per hour
B．65 miles per hour
C．55 miles per hour
D．10 miles per hour

7.George Bernard Shaw, the greatest British dramatist (居作家) of the first half of the 20th century, was born in Dublin, Ireland. His father was a man who drank too much and could not support his family properly. His mother was a disappointed, unhappy woman who found more pleasure in studying music than in her children. Bernard and his two sisters received little love and attention from their parents when they were young.
  Shaw was a good, bright, curious student in his school years. At fifteen, he went to work in an office. After five years, he decided that he wanted to be a writer, so he left Ireland then and went to London, where he began to write seriously.
  On September 2, 1882, Shaw"s ideas on socialism suddenly took shape (成形) when he attended the lecture by an American economist Henry George. The lecture led him to recognize that economics must be at the centre of socialist thought. He studied Karl Marx"s Das Kapital and attended a Marxist reading circle on September 5, 1884, eight months after its founding.
  In 1898, Shaw married a wealthy, independent woman named Charlotte Payne Townshend. They lived happily together until her death in 1943.
  By 1915, Shaw"s international fame was firmly established (樹立) and his plays were staged (上演) in many countries all over the world, from Britain to Japan. Shaw won the Nobel Prize for literature (文學(xué)) in 1925. He came to China in 1932 and 15ecame a friend of Lu Xun, when he was 76 years old.
  He died on November 2, 1950. It was reported that on the night of his death, theatres around the world were darkened ill his honour.

Which of the following is NOT true?

13.A thief entered the bedroom of the 30th president of the United States, who met him and helped him free.
  The event happened in the early morning in one of the first days when Calvin Coolidge came into power. He and his family were living in the same third-floor suite at the Willard Hotel in Washington that they had moved in several years before. The former President"s wife was still living in the White House.
  Coolidge awoke to see a stranger go through his clothes, remove a wallet and a watch chain.
  Coolidge spoke, "I wish you won"t take that."
  The thief, gaining his voice, said, "Why?"
  "I don"t mean the watch and chain, only the charm. Take it near the window and read what is on its back," the President said.
  The thief read," Presented to Calvin Coolidge."
  "Are you President Coolidge?" he asked.
  The President answered "Yes, and the House of Representatives gave me that watch charm. I"m fond of it. It would do you no good. You want money. Let"s talk this over."
  Holding up the wallet, the young man said in a low voice, "I"ll take this and leave everything else."
  Coolidge, knowing there was $80 in it, persuaded the young man to sit down and talk. He told the President he and his college roommate had overspent during their holiday and did not have enough money to pay their hotel bill.
  Coolidge added up the roommate and two rail tickets back to the college. Then he counted out $32 and said it was a loan.

19.Sometimes teens need to have some time away from their families. They may want" to move out of the family home for a while.
  Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea to let your teens live with a friend or relative.
  "It was the break I needed at the time," said Richard Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living with his grandmother when he was 15.
  "It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents." Lerner said. He now heads the Institute for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University.
  Experts say teens living away from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions (解答) to problems.
  This is different from running away, the experts stress. Runaways are often fleeing serious problems.
  Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for a while with a relative or with the family of a friend.
  If there is conflict (沖突) at home, having a teen live elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships.
  Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the late teen years has become the norm (準(zhǔn)則) only in recent times.
  "In the 17th century, children were often sent to live in other people"s homes when they were about 10 or 11," he said.
  Peter Sheras teaches education at the University of Virginia. He said parents should listen when a child wants to move out. They should try to find out why the child wants some time away.
  Often, parents can help the child find a safe place to stay during that time. In other cases, they can meet the child"s needs at home.

25.Once upon a time (not so very long ago, either!) industrial goods were made to last forever. If you bought a ear or a stove, it was a once-in-a-lifetime investment(投資). You paid good money for it, and you took care of it. Nowadays industry has persuaded us that products shouldn"t last a long time. It"s cheaper to throw them away than it is to repair them. This has led directly to the "throw-away society" which is a tremendous waste of the earth"s resources.
  Just think of the cars that are traded in daily, just because they are out of style. Think of the expensive packaging material that is thrown away every time a new object is bought. And we consumers have to pay for that material! Our industrial society has turned us into spoiled children. This wastefulness has got ten us into the mess (困境) we are in now. When we have no resources left, then we"ll start to take care of what we have. But why can"t we act before this happens?
