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.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are horn and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
  Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystalclear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.
  I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people"s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers, and books, which some might honour with the title of scientific research.
  But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one the outstanding and essential qualities required is se]f-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

The first paragraph tells us the author ______. ( )

A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B．lost his hearing when he was a child
C．didn"t like his brothers and sisters
D．was born to a naturalist"s family

2.
The author can"t remember his relatives clearly because ______. ( )

A．he didn"t live very long with them
B．the family was extremely large
C．he was too young when he lived with them
D．he was fully occupied with observing nature.

3.
It can he inferred from the passage that the author was ______. ( )

A．a(chǎn) scientist as well as a naturalist
B．a(chǎn) naturalist but not a scientist
C．no more than a born naturalist
D．first of all a scientist

4.
The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he ______. ( )

A．has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
B．lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
C．just reads about other people"s observations and discoveries
D．comes up with solutions in a most natural way

5.
According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be ______. ( )

A．full of ambition
B．knowledgeable

7.Have you ever been startled by a loud noise or by someone appearing suddenly behind you on dark night or by a snake in the grass? Do you remember the sudden, tight feeling in your chest, the way your heart started go pound, the way you seemed to breathe more rapidly? Such reactions occurred because you were frightened. Your brain sent a signal to the special gland (腺) in your body caned the adrenal (腎上的) gland. Other parts of your body were involved, too, but the adrenal gland has a very special function.
  The adrenal gland is located on top of your kidney. Since you have two kidneys. You also have two adrenal glands. Each adrenal gland is divided into two parts: a cortex(外皮) and a medulla (髓質(zhì)). The cortex forms the outer shell; the medulla forms the central core. Both the cortex and the medulla secrete (分泌) hormones, but they have different functions.
  The cortex produces more than forty different chemical compounds and hormones. All these things are essential to sustain life. The medulla secretes adrenalin ( also called epinephrine, the hormone that prepares" the body for emergencies. )
  When you are suddenly faced with a dangerous or stressful situation, part of your brain instantly sends a signal to the adrenal gland, and all sorts of things begin to your body. The medulla releases an extra amount of adrenalin into the bloodstream. The adrenalin is carried rapidly throughout the body, stimulating other glands and systems.

In this passage, the author is mainly discussing the function of ______. ( )

A．the human brain
B．glands and systems in the body
C．the cortex of the adrenal gland
D．the medulla of the adrenal gland

8.
Which of the following is NOT true? ( )

A．The adrenal gland is located on top of the kidney.
B．Each kidney is composed of two adrenal glands.
C．The medulla is inside the cortex.
D．The cortex and the medulla have different functions.

9.
It is ______ that mainly helps you respond to a dangerous or stressful situation. ( )

A．a(chǎn) signal sent by your brain
B．the special function of the adrenal gland
C．a(chǎn)ll stimulated parts of your body
D．All of these

10.
What could be said about the adrenalin? ( )

A．It is secreted by the kidneys into the bloodstream.
B．It is hormone that prepares the body for emergencies.
C．It is the only useful hormone produced in the body.
D．It is essential to sustain life.

11.

B．functions of kidneys
C．other human organs related to the kidneys
D．reactions of the body to stress and danger

13.One of the industrial giants who changed American society was Henry Ford born on a farm in Michigan in 1863, and he grew up to bring forth some of the most revolutionary improvements in automotive technology in the early 20th century. His outstanding mechanical ability led him to become interested in the new automobiles in the early 1900s. Though he did not invent the automobile, he improved upon everyone else"s designs. He was a person who believed in inexpensive, efficient production, so he established standards for his plants and workers. He also standardized and produced many new auto parts for his Ford Motor Company cars. Then he studied the workers" problems and thousands of automobiles per year. In fact, his plants had produced 15 million Model TS by 1927. Ford"s personality was not all thrift(節(jié)儉), efficiency and inventiveness, however. He was a man who was cold and who could not keep pace with the competition due to his own rigidity(嚴(yán)格). His company suffered because of his desire to maintain the existing state instead of meeting and beating the competition by changing his products. Finally, he saw that he must change or fail, therefore, he introduced a newtype engine and once again took over the automobile market. Ford left a legacy of millions of dollars, millions of jobs for American workers, and millions of satisfied customers.

Henry Ford changed the American society ______. ( )

A．through great social revolution
B．through automotive technological revolution
C．through numerous mechanical inventions

15.
It can be inferred that ______. ( )

A．Henry Ford always tried to avoid waste
B．Henry Ford required total observation once the standards were established
C．Henry Ford always encouraged his workers to make changes oft he products
D．Henry Ford made his own designs of his cars

16.

19.Bond had walked for only a few minutes when it suddenly occurred to him that he was being followed. There was no evidence for it except a slight tingling(隱隱作痛) of the scalp(頭皮) and an extra awareness of the people near him, but he had faith in his sixth sense and he at once stopped in front of the shop window he was passing and looked casually back along 46th Street. Nothing but a lot of miscellaneous people moving slowly on the sidewalks, mostly on the same side as himself, the side that was sheltered from the sun. There was no sudden movement into a doorway, nobody casually wiping his face with a handkerchief to avoid recognition, nobody bending down to tie a shoelace.
  Bond examined the Swiss watches in his shop window and then turned and sauntered on. After a few yards he stopped again. Still nothing. He went on and turned fight into the Avenue of the Americans, stopping in the first doorway, the entrance to a women"s underwear store where a man in a tan suit with his back to him was examining the black lace pants on a particularly realistic dummy(模型). Bond turned and leant against a pillar and gazed lazily but watchfully out into the street.
  And then something gripped his pistol arm and a voice snarled:" All right, Limey. Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch", and he felt something press into his back just above the kidney.
  What was there familiar about that voice? The law? The gun? Bond glanced down to see what was holding his right ann. It was a steel hook. Well, if the man had only one arm! Like lightening he turned around, bending sideways and bringing his left fist round in a flailing blow, low down.
  There was a smack as his fist was caught in the other man"s left hand, and at the same time as the contact telegraphed to Bond"s mind that there could have been no gun, there came the well-remembered laugh and the lazy voice saying:" No good, James. The angles have got you."
  Bond straightened himself slowly and for a moment he could only gaze into the grinning hawk-life face of Felix Leiterwith blank disbelief, his built-up tension slowly relaxing.
  "So you were doing a front tail, you lousy bastard, "he finally said.

Bond realized that he was being followed by means of ______. ( )

A．his common sense
B．his sense of humour
C．his sight
D．his sixth sense

20.
When Bond stopped and looked back along 46th street, he observed all the following except ______. ( )

A．most people on the sidewalk were on the same side as himself
B．no one suddenly turned into a doorway
C．a(chǎn) man was looking into the windows of a store
D．no one wiped his face with a handkerchief

21.

A．To see who was following him.
B．To look at the man in the fun suit.
C．To avoid the sunshine.
D．To look at the underwear.

22.
What did the man mean by saying "Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch"? ( )

A．Put up your hands.
B．Don"t move or I"ll shoot you.
C．If you want to have lunch, you must listen to me.
D．You go first slowly and we"ll have lunch together.

23.
What is" a front tail" ( Para. 7 ) ? ( )

A．Pretending to be somebody else.
B．Following somebody from in front.
C．Following somebody from behind.
D．Standing in front of a shop window.

25.A new kind of radar has been developed for spaceship travelers. A working laboratory model of a new system of radar that makes use of a beam of light is said to be ten thousand times more accurate than the best comparable system of radar that used microwaves.
  The model has shown that this radar system, known as laser-doppler radar, can measure with absolute precision speeds varying from spaceship orbital injection (進(jìn)入) velocities (速度) of five miles per second down to virtual stops--speeds of less than one ten thousandth of an inch per second. According to the scientists who are developing this system, such fine measures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions. In a rendezvous (對(duì)接) between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump could rip open a ship"s skin, or a nudge could knock the station out of its orbit.
  The light-beam radar, which operates at a frequency of trillions (百萬(wàn)兆) of cycles per second, could easily detect and measure the movement of a vehicle edging up to a satellite space station. A control system using so precise a signal as this would allow a huge vehicle to dock at a space station as lightly as a feather.

Laser-doppler radar ______. ( )

A．measures the movements of a spaceship by means of light beam
B．makes use of microwaves
C．makes use of sound waves
D．Both A and B

A．it is one thousand times more precise than microwave radar
B．it provides precise measures of the velocity of space vehicles
C．it is a new system of radar
D．it can measure the movement of a spaceship less accurately than a microwave radar

27.
Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage ______. ( )

A．a(chǎn)ccuracy ill speed measurement is essential to spaceships
B．the speeds of space vehicles will vary
C．inaccuracies in measurement could cause accidents in space missions
D．a(chǎn) bump could affect the preciseness of the laser-doppler radar

28.
Implied but not stated is that ______. ( )

A．laser-doppler radar is more accurate than microwave radar
B．microwave radar may not ensure absolute precision in measuring varying speeds
C．the light-beam radar can measure only slow speeds with accuracy
D．microwave radar operates at a higher frequency than laser-doppler radar

A．Rendezvous in Space
B．Landing at a Space Station
C．New Radar for the Space Age
D．Space Navigation
