Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.The standard research report, regardless of the field or the intended reader, contains four major sections: Problem Section. The first section is the statement of the problem with which the research project is_51_. There should be an explanation of the _52_- social, economic, medical, psychological, educational, etc. - of the question;_53_, why the investigation was worth conducting. Thus, we must explain that the question is thought to have significant relevance to certain problems and might _54_ some sort of regulations on them. As a part, a review of past researches is recommended, which consists of summaries of the _55_of previous researchers with some assessment of the value to your resent research. Procedures Section. This section_56_ , with as much data as possible, exactly how the study was carried out. It usually includes description of any necessary equipment, how the subjects were selected, how many _57_were made and when, what statistical technique was used to _58_ the findings, etc. The goal of this section is to allow the reader to redo the experiment if such were desired to _59_your findings. _60_ Section. The third section, perhaps the most important, is the presentation of what is obtained from the investigation. The basic rule in this section is to give all the data relative to the research question _61_ asked. If the experiments undertaken fail to prove anything, or if the data was inadequate or _62_expectations, the report should be honestly written and as complete as possible, just as it would be if the hypothesis(假设) were totally proven by the research. Discussion Section. The final required section of a research report is a discussion of the results obtained and a statement of any conclusions drawn from them. Of primary importance is the conclusion for future decision making._63_, the discussion section must assess the research results fully: were they validly obtained, are they complete or limited, are they _64_ over a wide range of circumstances? The discussion section should also point out what question remain_65_ and perhaps suggest directions for further research.51. A. focusedB. concernedC. satisfiedD. concentrated52.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A)Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路)in life that by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hates confinement(限制)and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. Theyd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.We eventually arrived at my parents doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of storiesI grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence. Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner openedour eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.66.
