Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages followed by several multiple choice questions. Choose the best answer for each question. And write your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1If youve been joining in chat room conversations, or trading e-mail with net pals(网友), you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English.Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are “talking” onlinemany of them are talking at the same time.Its fast: trying talking to six people once. Its convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. Theres neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom youre talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pals age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh, say youre OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when its time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.

Some feel pride when they receive the news, while others worry, wondering whether they will be good father. Although there are some men who like children and may have had considerable experience with them, others do not particularly care for children and spend little time with them. Many fathers and mothers have been planning and looking forward to children for some time. For other couples, pregnancy (怀孕) was an accident that both husband and wife have accepted willingly or unwillingly.Whatever the reaction to the birth of a child, it is obvious that the shift from the role of husband to that of father is a difficult task. Yet, unfortunately, few attempts have been made to educate fathers in this resocialization process. Although numerous books have been written about American mothers, only recently has literature focused on the role of a father.It is argued by some writers that the transition to the fathers role, although difficult, is not nearly as great as the transition the wife must make to the mothers role. The mothers role seems to require a complete transformation in daily routine and highly innovative adaptation, on the other hand, the fathers role is less demanding and immediate. However, even though we mentioned the fact that growing numbers of women are working outside the home, the father is still thought by many as the breadwinner in the household.36. According to the author, being a father _.A brings a feeling of excitement to some menB has a different meaning for those who have daughtersC makes some men feel proud and others uneasyD means nothing but more responsibilities37. It is stated in the passage that _.A some parents are not prepared to have a childB young couples do not like children at allC working couples do not have much time to take care of their childrenD many parents look forward to having a boy as their first child38. In the second paragraph, the author _.A criticizes fathers for not taking enough responsibilities in bringing up their childrenB excuses the American writers for ignoring the difficulties of being a fatherC supports the idea that the chief role of a father is to earn money for the familyD complains about the lack of social programs to help husbands adjust themselves to being a father39. The transition to the mothers role requires that the wife _.A change her life style in a highly innovative wayB make a complete change in her everyday life to deal with the new situationC stay at home to take care of the babyD help her husband in his resocialization process40. Some writers argue that with respect to the change of roles, fathers, compared with mothers, _.A have to shoulder more burdens B have to make more difficult adaptations C have an easier job to doD can usually do a better jobPassage 3Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in 1972. They discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar: they both use the two sides of their brain. It is well-known that Albert Einstein, as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. He got ideas by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to use analysis, number and reason and then he used language to explain it.Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more important in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why dont we give more value to visual thinking? In fact, all of us need both sides of our brain. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live on this world.It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other but all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have. Nietzsche, the well-known philosopher, said that we add to our knowledge by making conscious the unconscious.41. A great composer composes music by using_. A. right side of his brain B. left side of his brain C. both sides of his brain D. neither side of his brain42. Albert Einsteins example suggests that _. A. all scientific discoveries are based on imagination rather than analysis B. people should do nothing but daydream C. using two sides of the brain is equally important D. scientists are good at imagining the happenings43. It is implied in the passage that regular education _. A. should be praised because it suggest using both sides of the brain B. finds it important to imagine C. claims that analysis and reason are of no value D. fails to find the importance of using the right side of the brain44. According to the author, when we have a meal, we _. A. ought to stop using the left side of the brain B. should combine the functions of two sides of the brain C. are likely to focus on the balance of food on our plate D. are advised to forget everything about the food45. The authors attitude towards using two sides of the brain is _. A. positive B. negative C. cold D. critical III. Cloze People from different cultures sometimes do things that make each other uncomfortable without meaning to or sometimes without even realizing it. Most Americans have 46 been out of the country and have 47 experience with foreigners. But they are usually friendly and open, and 48 meeting new people, having guests and bringing people together formally or 49 . They tend to use first names in most 50 and speak freely about themselves. 51 if your American hosts do something that makes you 52 , try to let them know how you feel.
