Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this section. 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet 2.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. The discovery that language can be barrier to communication is quickly made by all who ravel, study, govern or sell. Whether the activity is tourism, research, government or business, the lack of a common language can severely hinder progress or can halt it altogether. Although communication problems of this kind must happen thousands of times each day, very few become public knowledge. Publicity comes only when a failure to communicate has major consequences, such as strikes, lost orders, legal problems, or fatal accidents - even, at times of war. One reported instance of communication failure took place in 1970, when several Americans ate a species of poisonous mushroom. No remedy was known, and two of the people died within days. A radio report of the case was heard by a chemist who knew of a treatment that had been successfully used in 1959 and published in 1963. Why had the American doctors not heard of it seven years later? Presumably because the report of the treatment had been published only in iournals written in European languages other than English. The language barrier presents itself to firms who wish to market their products in other countries. British industry, in particular, had in recent decades often been criticized for its linguistic insularity - for its assumption that foreign buyers will be happy to communicate in English, and that awareness of other language is not therefore a priority. The criticism and publicity given to this problem since the 1960s seem to have greatly improved the situation. It is now much more readily appreciated that marketing efforts can be delayed, damaged, or disrupted by a failure to take account of the linguistic needs of the customer. The changes in awareness have been most marked in English-speaking countries where the realization has gradually dawned that by no means everyone in the world knows English well enough to negotiate in it.36.

English-speaking companies are happy to communicate in English.D. Non-English-speaking companies are happy to speak English.38. Why had the American doctors not known how to treat the patient in 1970?A. Because it is a fatal disease.B. Because its remedy keep unknown at that time.C. Because the report of the treatment was not published in English.D. Because the American doctors failed to read in English.39. Which of the following would be the best tide for the passage?A.

But turning your car stereo up to full volume could probably make you end up in an accident. The performance of complex tasks can be affected if people are subjected to loud noise. The experience of pulling up at traffic lights alongside cars shaking with heavy bass (低音) prompted some psychologists in the University of Sydney to investigate whether loud music interferes with driving. The psychologists recruited 60 men and women aged between 20 and 28 as subjects and tested them on simulated (模拟的) driving tasks under three noise conditions: silence, rock music played at a gentle 55 decibels, and the same music roaring out at 85 decibels. For 10 minutes the subjects sat in front of a monitor operating a steering wheel and foot pedals representing the brake and accelerator (加速器). They had to track a moving disk on screen, respond to traffic signals changing color, and brake in response to arrows that appeared without warning. On the tracking task, there was no difference in performance under the three noise conditions. But under both the loud and quiet music conditions, the volunteers braked at a red light about 50 milliseconds sooner than they did when there was no rock music at all. That could mean a reduction in braking distance of a couple of meters potentially, the difference between life and death for a pedestrian. When it came to the arrows that appeared across the visual field, the psychologists found that when the music was quiet, people responded faster to objects in their central field of vision by about 50 milliseconds. For those listening at 85 decibels, response times dropped by a further 50 milliseconds -a whole tenth of a second faster than those driving with no music. But there is a trade-off (交换) , the psychologists told the European Congress of Psychology, They lose the ability to scan the environment effectively. In responding to objects intruding on their peripheral (周围的） vision, people subjected to 85-decibel rock music were around 100 milliseconds slower than both the other groups. Since some hazards - such as children running into the road - emerge from the periphery, drivers listening to loud music must be less safe as a result. 41. Which of the following is the best way to make a driving safer?A. Driving with silence.B. Driving with full volume stereo music.C. Driving with loud music.D. Driving with quiet music.42. What caused the scientists of Sydney University to conduct the investigation?A. An experience of traveling in music-playing vehicles.B. A suggestion of the European Congress of Psychology.C. A chance encounter with music-playing cars.D. The increase of traffic accidents.43. Where was the experiment carried out?A. In the laboratory.B. At crossroads.C. In the crowded streetD. At a police station.44. Which of the following is NOT true of quiet music?A. It helped the subjects to respond slower to objects in their peripheral vision.B. It helped the subjects to brake sooner at the red light.C. It helped the drivers to respond faster to objects in their central field of vision.D. It can produce more positive results than negative results for drivers.45. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Music and psychology.B. How to drive safely.C. Musical effects on drivers.D. Music is a new cause of traffic accidents.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.In a competitive economy, the consumer usually has the choice of several different brands of the same product. Yet underneath their labels, the products are often nearly identical. One manufacturers tooth paste tends to differ very little from another manufacturers. Thus, manufacturers are confronted with a problem - how to keep sales high enough to stay in business. Manufacturers solve this problem by advertising. They try to appeal to consumers in various ways. In fact, advertisements may be classified into three types according to the kind of appeals they use. One type of advertisements to appeal to the consumers reasoning mind. It may offer a claim that seems scientific. For example, it may say the dentists recommend Flash toothpaste. In selling a product, the troth of the advertising may be less important than the appearance of truth. A scientific approach gives the appearance of troth. Another type of advertisement tries to amuse the potential buyer. Products that are essentially boring, such as insecticide, are often advertised in an amusing way. One way of doing this is to make file products appear alive. For example, the advertisers may personify cans of insecticide, and show them attacking mean-faced bugs. Ads of this sort are silly, but they also tend to be amusing. Advertisers believe that consumers are likely to remember and buy products that the consumers associate with fun. Associating the product with something pleasant is the technique of the third type of appeal. In this class, ads suggest that the product will satisfy some basic human desire. One such desire is the wish to be admired by other people. Many automobile advertisements are in this category. They imply that other people will admire you - may even be jealous - when they see you driving the hot, new Aardvark car. Another powerful desire to which advertisers appeal is the desire for love. Thus ads for bandages are unlikely to emphasize the way the bandages are made or their low cast; instead, the ads may show a mother tenderly binding up and then kissing her small boys cut finger, in the picture there is an open package of Ouch Bandages. The advertiser hopes the consumer will mentally insert an equal sign to create the equation Ouch Bandages = Love. One only needs to look through a magazine or watch an hour of TV in order to see examples of these differ46. What does the products are often nearly identical in the first paragraph infer?A. Under the disguise of different brands, the products are quite different from each other.B. Under the disguise of different brands, the products are more or less the same.C. Under the disguise of different brands, the products may vary only in name or color.D. Under the disguise of different brands, the products are more different other than the same.47. In a competitive economy, what do manufacturers need to keep sales high enough to stay in business?A. Good advertisements.B. High quality of the products.C. Communications technology.D. Marketing strategies.48. A scientific approach is used to achieve
