Reading Comprehension: ( 30 points)Passage 1 After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report. the damage and death toll (死亡人数)could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the citys highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the citys buildings and highways, making them more-resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers arent resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints（蓝图）for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.装 订 线In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and woods,that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building odd its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent design give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.1. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that_D_.A. new computers had been installed in the buildingsB. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways2. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to_A_.A. counterbalance an earthquakes action on the buildingB. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC. help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD. measure the impact of an earthquakes vibrations3. The smart buildings discussed in the passage_B_. A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakesPassage 2 The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to peoples desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage(英里数). Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumers money. Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters(节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories(热量单位，大卡) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf. On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumers real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising. Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.4. Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by_C_.A. maintaining a balance between quality and priceB. convincing him of their low priceC. appealing to his buying motivesD. stressing their high quality5. The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that_A_.A. the total number of calories in the loaf remained the sameB. thin slices of bread could contain more caloriesC. the loaf was cut into regular slicesD. the bread was not genuine bread6. The passage tells us that_C_.A. Advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they dont needB. The buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisementsC. Sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needsD. Fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment7. It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should _B_.A. be familiar with various advertising strategiesB. think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisementsC. guard against the deceiving nature(欺骗性) of advertisementsD. avoid buying products that have strong emotional appealPassage 3I love traveling in the countryside, but I dont like losing my way. I went on a trip recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.“Im going to Woodford Green,” I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, “but I dont know where it is.”“Ill tell you where to get off,” answer the conductor.I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking around, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.“Youll have to get off there,” the conductor said. “This is as far as we go.”“Is this Woodford Green?” I asked.“Oh, dear,” said the conductor suddenly. “I forgot to put you off.”“It doesnt matter,” I said. “Ill get off here.”“We are going back now,” said the conductor.“Well, in that case, I would prefer to stay on the bus,” I answered.8.
