Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage One: If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course even if the people could not write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.1. Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage?A. “Remember history”, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play a most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.2. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _.A. there was nothing worth being written down at that time.B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record.C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire.D. the people there had not known how to write.3. “Remember history”(line 19) refers to _.A. history based on a persons imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both b and c4. “Remember history”(line 19) is regarded as valuable only when _.A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. is proves to be trueD. people are interest in it5. It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had _.A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage Two: For the most part, rapid economic development has been a boon. But there is a down side to development health problems such as overweight are all becoming more prevalent, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labor-saving devices become more popular. An increasing fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time working out or playing sports. “I know exercise is good for your health,” a young lady said. “But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to sleep.” That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults I China are overweight, a large number of people over the age of 40 suffer from high blood pressure and cardiac ailments. Local researchers found that 31.2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got an adequate amount of physical activity. Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesnt require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs and dancing are all helpful methods to enhance ones health. The benefits of adding a little more activity to your lift are priceless. “There is no need to be an athlete, however,” a local doctor said. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in other physical activity three to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time. China has taken the need for more exercise to heart, with the government running several activities last Sunday, which was the designated World Health Day. Pamphlets and posters based on the theme “Move for Health” were distributed nationwide, encouraging people to develop a positive and healthy lifestyle.6. Rapid economic development has resulted in all the following except _.A. an increasing number of taxi passengersB. the wide use of labor-saving devicesC. an increasingly fast pace of lifeD. peoples awareness of the importance of exercise7. Some people are getting overweight because _.A. they are too busy to have any time for exerciseB. they are ignorant of the benefits of exerciseC. they are too weak to participate in physical activityD. they are short of money to pay for different exercises8. According to the passage, who need regular daily exercise most?A. People taking taxis to work.B. Urban adults with full-time jobs.C. Elderly people suffering from high blood pressure.D. Youngsters dreaming of becoming professional athletes.9. What is the main idea of the last paragraph but one?A. Many people are still unable to afford the cost of physical exercises.B. Nobody should take part in physical activity in order to be an athlete.C. Moderate physical exercise is usually enough for ordinary people.D. Old or sick people should only take part in physical exercises of the slowest type.10. By referring to rapid economic development as “a boon” at the beginning of the passage, the author means that _.A. it has benefited the general public greatlyB. it has done harm to peoples health nationwideC. it is going faster than anyone could have imaginedD. it has helped to establish a positive and health lifestyle of the publicPassage Three: Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campuss six buildings comfortable. Some parts of most modern buildings theaters and offices as well as classrooms are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the Universitys system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and reuse it in others. Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, overweight male genius.11. Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it_.A. was difficult to collect B. came in variety of forms C. was difficult to get rid of it D. tended to be absorbed by physical objects12. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus? A. The heat is supplied by human bodies B. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heat-emitting objects C. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuel D. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and conventional fuel13. At the Johnstown campus, how many of the buildings are heated entirely by the heat collection system? A. None B. Two C. Four D. Six14. According to the passage, which of the following would produce the LEAST amount of heat? A. A fat female who studies hard B. A thin female who does not study C. A fat male who does not study D. A thin male who studies hard15. In the last paragraph, the “hottest prospect” means the_. A. most intelligent student B. most desirable student C. most diligent studentD. most learned studentPassage Four：The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available in professional journals or at professional meetings. It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information.16.
