Reading Comprehension（50分）阅读4片，样题提供前三篇Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneLearning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. Id ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up. “What did you learn in that course?” Id ask. “Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audiencenot to be inhibited (拘谨；抑制)not to be nervous” Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you dont hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, youre taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions. It is the same in writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person wholl read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line. Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, youre alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least its necessary until youve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”4l. The main task of a public speech course is to _. A. teach spoken-language experience B. teach how to use gestures to assist speech C. help the learners overcome nervousness D. teach how to control the volume of the speakers voice42. Learning how to write is similar to learning how to speak in public in that a writer should _. A. overcome his or her nervousness in the first place B. watch his or her grammar and vocabularyC. collect a lot of data before writing D. take hold of a reader and talk to him or her before writing43. In the authors opinion, _.A. writing needs more experience and skill than public speakingB. both writing and public speaking require effortC. writing is imaginativeD. public speaking is not so natural as writing44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Not many students feel the need to learn public speaking.B. Training is necessary before you can speak with script.C. In public speaking, the audience are more nervous than the speaker.D. Writing is just like making a public speech on paper.45. This selection is mainly about learning how to _.A. make a public speechB. talk on paperC. behave properly in public speechD. express strong emotion on paperPassage TwoIn the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of mans needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by mans technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.46. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of Man B.

In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is the final proof of identity in almost every county in the world. In l979 almost l5 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few Western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires or war.Dont confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.5l.
