Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I.Passage One Americans and Arabs are different in their space habits. Arabs prefer close contact. Dr. Hall has explained that the Arabs belong to a touch culture and in conversation, they always envelop the other person. They hold his hand, look into his eyes, and bathe him in their breath. Dr. Halls interest in mans use of space developed in the early nineteen fifties when he was Director of the Point Four training program at the Foreign Service Institute. In talking with Americans who had lived overseas, he found that many of them had been highly uncomfortable because of culture differences. Such discomfort is usually referred to as culture shock. The problem is that, relatively speaking, Americans live in a noncontact culture. Partly, this is a product of our puritan heritage ( 清教徒文化遗产). Dr. Hall points out that we spend years teaching our children not to crowd in and lean on us. And in situations where we ourselves are forced to stand close to another person on crowded subways, for example, we turn our eyes away, and if actual body contact is involved, tense the muscles on the contact side. Most of us feel very strongly that this is the only proper way to behave.61. When the Arabs talk to you, they _. A. try to be as close to you as possible B. keep a certain space from you C. hold you tightly D. do not allow you to feel their breath62. From the information in paragraph 3, it is obvious that _. A. the American way is the only right way to behave. B. the puritan heritage stresses noncontact culture C. American children are more polite than those in other countries D. American people usually cannot make themselves understood63. When you line up to wait for your turn in the United States, you should _ your front neighbor. A. stick to B. lean on C. keep a certain distance from D. stay far away from64. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. People from different cultures handle space in different ways. B. Many of the Americans who had lived overseas were bothered by culture differences. C. Misunderstandings often develop between Americans and Arabs in social contacts. D. Dr. Hall is interested in culture differences, especially mans use of space.65. It is true that _. A. a noncontact culture is usually referred to as culture shock B. there is evidence that Americans belong to a touch culture C. there is evidence that Arabs share a noncontact culture D. our use of space is influenced by our culturesPassage Two It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yoruself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged (包围) by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth? But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called aunt or granny can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage and concern for others. In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real. Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of ones heart and looks.66. Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins? A. Women are born to be beauties. B. Women like to show off their beauty. C. Women try to maintain their beauty by dressing up. D. Women are proud of their beauty.67. According to the author, in order to stay young and attractive, women should _. A. follow the fashion B. dress up in beautiful clothes C. do more exercises D. enrich their mind68. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. As a woman grows old, her beauty will gradually, disappear. B. However old she is, a woman with some excellent qualities can still maintain her beauty. C. Even a plainly dressed woman may have pure and real beauty. D. A woman with a young mind never feels old.69. The word relative (line 1, paragraph 3 )most probably means _. A. similar B. comparative C. related D. independent70. The author believes that _. A. women should lay more emphasis on their own qualities B. beautiful clothes can make women more attractive C. women have to show their beauty through their looks D. women are more curious about new things than menPassage Three Sports fans all over the world recognize the name Michael Jordan.
