Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer byblackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1 After a day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beast more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to another. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eye-lids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.1. A good title for this passage is _.A. Sleep B.

This was not because the woods and fields were always far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.In 1970, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory or hostel for the summer holidays. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there, As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old castle nearby. This was the first Youth Hostel.Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their card of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permit him to use the facilities of hostels all over the world for very low prices.Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country or the world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Sometimes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a question period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just by meeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent hostelling can be just as useful a part of ones education as classes in school.6. The author says children in the city seldom went to the woods and fields because _.A. these places were too far away for them to go between morning and nightfallB. it was impossible for them to go and get back in one day C. they were not old enough to take such a tripD. they were not permitted to go to these places7.

According to the passage, young people can pay less for their stay in the hostel if _.A. they share their food with each otherB. they can prove they have joined the hostel organizationC. they have brought enough equipment with themD. they can prove that they are from a foreign country9. In the authors opinion, young people can learn a lot during the days they speed hostelling because _.A. they meet a lot of people from different placesB. they have such useful classes in the hostel as they dont have in schoolsC. they have more interesting activities than at schoolD. they are very much interested in life in the hostel10. Which do you think might be the proper tide for this passage?A. Youth Organization.B. International TravelC. Education Out of School.D.

It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signals to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night.Advertising has been among Englands biggest growth industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer.At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy it. The designer is busy enough without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machine tolerance and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers(赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for-how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.11. Which of the following can best describe the authors attitude toward modem advertising?A. Indifferent B. ShockedC. Disappearing D. Approving12. According to the author, which is NOT the designers chief concern when he designs a product?A. Stress factors B. Man-hours.C. Machine tolerance D. Customer-appeal.13. It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer-appeal are _.A. customers B. designersC. advertisers D. manufacturers14. According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary, a manufacturer will choose to _.A. lower the production costB. hire a better designerC. improve its qualityD. alter its image15. The best title for the passage might be _.A. Advertising since the WarB. Advertising and ManufacturersC. Advertising-Englands Biggest IndustryD. Advertising and PurchasersPassage 4 All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we dont know about the way the universe is put together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it. Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switchyard( 调车场). All of the switches(转辙器）are set before the train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see. others we cannot. There is no ambiguity if we can see the setting of a switch; we can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.When we think about the future of the universe, we can see our track many billions of years into the future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.16. According to the passage, it is difficult to be certain about the dist universe because we _.A. have too many conflicting theoriesB. do not have enough funding to continue our researchC. are not sure how the universe is put togetherD. have focused our investigations on the moon and planets17. What does the author see as the function of the universes unseen switches?A. They tell us which one of the tracks the universe will use.B. They enable us to alter the course of the universe.C. They give us information about the lunar surface.D. They determine which course the universe will take in the future.18. In the second paragraph, the word track could hest be replaced by which of the following?A. Band B. Rails C. Path D. Sequence19. For whom is the author probably writing this passage?A. Train engineers.B. General audiences.C. Professors of statistics.D. Young children.20. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the passage?A. A statement illustrated by an analogy (类比).B. A hypothesis supported by documentation (引用文献).C. A comparison of two contrasting theories.D.
