Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points) Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement. Passage One Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built. Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body. The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large hot air balloon. They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers. (1) Leonardo Da Vinci made designs for flying machines. (A) T (B) F (2) Eight hundred years ago an Englishman made a kind of flying machine. (A) T (B) F (3) In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly lost his life. (A) T (B) F (4) The very first air passengers in the balloon were two Frenchmen. (A) F (B) T (5) The two Frenchmen rose above Paris in November 1783. (A) T (B) F 3. Passage Two The fourth Thursday in November is called Thanksgiving Day. In the United States, it is an annual occasion to show thanks to God for his goodness. As a historical, national and religious holiday, Thanksgiving Day began with the English in Plymouth Colony. As far back as 1621, after a long bitter winter and the gathering of the first harvest, these early settlers shared a feast with the local Indians and offered prayers of thanksgiving. The first national Thanksgiving Day was proclaimed（颁布） by President Washington on November 26, 1789. President Lincoln revived the custom in 1863. It was not until 1941 that the U.S. Congress adopted a resolution（决定）, setting the fourth Thursday of November as an annual Thanksgiving Day. Thus what began as a religious celebration of the harvest has since become a nationwide holiday. Now Thanksgiving Day is usually a family day, celebrated with a traditional turkey dinner and a happy reunion. Schools are closed on Thanksgiving Day and the day after. Many people, including students studying in another state, often travel long distances to spend the holiday at home. (1) The passage is mainly about how Thanksgiving Day came into being. (A) T (B) F (2) Thanksgiving Day was first celebrated in 1621 by English settlers of the Plymouth Colony. (A) F (B) T (3) President Washington set Thursday, November 26, 1789 as the First National Thanksgiving (A) F (B) T (4) Since 1863, the fourth Thursday of November has been set as an annual Thanksgiving Day, a nationwide holiday.? (A) F (B) T (5) The pattern of the Thanksgiving celebration has not changed through the years. The basic traditional food on Thanksgiving Day is roast turkey. (A) F (B) T 4. Passage Three Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares (噩梦). Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase (抹去), the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.” But those who are against the research say that it is very dangerous to change memories because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our life that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist. (1) The passage is mainly about _. (A) a new medical invention (B) an argument about the research on the pill (C) a new research on memories (D) a way of erasing painful memories (2) The drug tested on people can _. (A) cause the brain to fix memories (B) prevent body producing certain chemicals (C) wipe out the emotional effects of memories (D) stop people remembering their experiences (3) We can infer from the passage that _. (A) the pill has probably been produced in America (B) people doubt the effects of the pills (C) taking the pill will do harm to peoples health (D) the pill will stop peoples bad experiences (4) Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with? (A) Some memories can ruin peoples lives. (B) People want to get rid of bad memories. (C) The pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories. (D) Experiencing bad events makes us different from others. (5) The underlined word “scars” in Paragraph One is close in meaning to _. (A) good stories (B) pains (C) experiences (D) memories 5. Passage Four Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by , the death rate increase correspondingly (相应地) by . All this comes down to one point: work is helpful to health. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study and live a happy and healthy life. (1) The underlined word “average” in Paragraph One means _. (A) ordinary (B) lazy (C) poor (D) healthy (2) The reason why housewives are not as healthy as career women is that _.

(A) There is no friendship and warmth at home. (B) Busy people have nothing to do at home. (C) High achievers dont care about their families.

(A) will lose everything at home (B) have more time to make new friends (C) can live as long as those who work (D) are likely to live a shorter life (5) The best title for this passage may be _.
