Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: There are 5 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by 4 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage: 42课（万能的铅笔）The lead pencil is one of the most used pieces of merchandise in the world. It is the simplest, most convenient and least expensive of all writing instruments.Perhaps the most surprising thing about the lead pencil is that it is not lead at all. And it is not a pencil. The lead is actually graphite from the Greek word to write. The word pencil is from Latin. The first pencils were fine or stiff brushes of hair.American pencil makers turn out their product by the millions. Probably there is no more useful article in the world. As one wise person remarked: Everything begins with a pencil. Whether its a pin or a battleship, it is first rendered with a pencil.There is a pencil for every purpose. In fact, the industry now supplies 370 different types and styles in more than 70 different colors and in 18 degrees of hardness.Some write clearly on slippery surfaces, such as glass and plastic. Surgeons use a special pencil for outlining the operation area on the patients skin, and packing-plants use another type to write identification on sides of beef. There is even a special electric pencil used for tests checked by electronic machines.There are many novelty pencils. Some have the Ten Commandments, calendars or the multiplication table on them. Some are in the shape of umbrellas, canes, baseball bats and traffic signals. One may be 12 feet long, while others are only 1/2 inch.One recent novelty is a pencil with paper in it. A small roll of paper fits in the center of the pencil and is drawn out through a slit in the side. Its just the thing for those who are always looking for a scrap of paperA popular idea is that a check, will, or other legal paper whiten in pencil is not legal. This is not true. Any legal document which does not specify otherwise can be legally signed in pencil. 41. The author says that the lead in a pencil_ A. is graphite B. is really a chemicalC. comes from Greece D. is hard to find答案为：A友人怀疑是C,我再次读了一遍，还觉得应该是A石墨42. What is meant by the following quotation_Whether its a pin or a battleship, it is first rendered with a pencil. A. A pencil is difficult to work with. B. The design of the pencil is rendered important. C. The first designs of pin and battleship are not important. D. The pencil is used by everyone for many purposes.答案为：B43. Which of the following types of pencils was not mentioned in the story? A. a pencil for surgeons B. a pencil for writing on slippery surfaces C. a pencil for writing underwater D. a pencil with paper in it答案为：C44. According to the article, a document signed with a pencil _ A. will smudge badly B. will net last so long as one signed in ink C. will not hold up in court D. may be legal答案为：DQuestions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage: In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious association. The Olympian athletic festival, held every four years in honor of Zeus, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event, and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been waived, international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B.C. The Games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events is uncertain, but events included boys gymnastics, horse-racing, field events such as discus and javelin throwing, and the very important foot races. There was also boxing and wrestling and special tests of varied ability such as the pentathlon, the winner of which excelled in running, jumping, discus and javelin throwing and wrestling. The evening of the third day wasdevoted to sacrificial offerings to the heroes of the day, and the fourth day, that of thefull moon, was set aside as a holy day. On the sixth and last day, all the victors were crowned with holy garlands of wild, live from a sacred wood. So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. Although Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. The public honor also made the strict discipline of the ten-month training period worthwhile. In spite of the lengthy training, however runners were known to drop dead from strain at the winning post. How their results compared with modem standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling. After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, the Games were abolished in A.D. 394, the Christian era, because of their pagan origin. It was over 1,500 years before there was another such international athletics gathering. The Greek institution was revived in 1896 and the first small meeting took place in Athens. After the 1908 London Olympics, success was re-established and nations sent their best representatives. In times of peace, the Games have taken place ever since at four-yearly intervals. Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own athletes expenses. Athletic contests are still the main feature, but now many more sports are represented women compete, the ancient pentathlon, for example, has been modified into a more comprehensive test, and the marathon races, initiated in 1896, are now a celebrated event.The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the suns rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolizes the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony. The well-known Olympic flag, however, is a modern conception: the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games.45. The first Olympic Games took place_. A. probably before 700 B.C.B. over three thousand years agoC. in the seventh century A.D.D. a thousand years ago答案为：A46.

At he beginning of the Games in the host country _A. a torch is ignited at sunriseB. a lighted torch is brought into the stadiumC. relays of runners light their torches in the stadiumD. a torch is ignited by the Greek ambassador答案为：BQuestions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage: 33课(能的魔力)Radiant energy is also called light energy. Our most important source of radiant energy is, of course, the sun. Without it there would be no life, for plant life depends upon radiant energy-and we depend upon plant life.Other forms of radiant energy familiar to us are radio waves, infrared rays, ultra-violet rays, X rays, and gamma rays.In simplest terms, mechanical energy is the energy of a moving object. Yourheartbeat, the pushing of a lawn mower, a baseball speeding through the air, waterfalling onto a waterwheel, the prying up of a rock with a crowbar-all are mechanicalenergy, which, of course, was another form of energy earlier.Electrical energy usually has to be changed to another form before it actually does what we want it to do. In the toaster, it changes to heat; in a tiny wrist watch or asubway train or a 75,000 horse-power industrial motor, it changes to mechanical energy. In an industrial process called electrolysis, it changes to chemical energy.Various fuels such as coal, gas, oil, and food are common examples of chemical energy. These fuels give off heat when they burn. The process is called combustion or oxidation, and the heat itself is a form of energy. Man uses the energy from some kind of fuel for everything from flying to the moon to thinking about it.A special kind of chemical energy is nuclear energy, sometimes called atomic energy. These names come from the fact that the source of energy is the nucleus, or core, of the atom. Nuclear fuels such as plutonium and uranium give off heat energywhen fission (the splitting of atoms in these fuels) occurs. Already we have seen tremendous advances in the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, and many people see nuclear energy as the future answer to almost all of our energy needs. 49. In a toaster, _ energy becomes heather gy.A. electrical B. mechanical C. heatD. radiant答案为：A50. Nuclear energy is a special sort ofA. uranium B. chemical energy C. radiant energy D. electricity generated in atomic plants 答案为：B51. We use the terms combustion and oxidation when we talk about _. A. the energy of a moving objectB. connecting a generator to a steam turbine C. nuclear fission D. fuels which give off heat when they burn 答案为：D52. From the facts given in this article we can tell that _A. often a form of energy is useless to us until it becomes another form B. steam power is cheaper and better than electrical power C. in the near future, there will be enough nuclear power to supply all our energy needs D. energy can change to another form, but the new form cannot change hack into the old form答案为：CQuestions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage: The accuracy of scientific observations and calculations is always at the mercy of the scientists timekeeping methods. For this reason, scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise timekeeping. In their search for precision, scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their “ticking”. This is possible because each kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration. The nitrogen atom in ammonia, for example, vibrate or “ticks” 24 billion times a second. One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose no more than a second in 3000 years. It will be of great importance in fields such as astronomical observation and long-range navigation. The heart of this atomichron is cesium atom that vibrates 9.2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water. An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to check the accuracy of
