Reading ComprehensionPassage 1In our daily lives we need to communicate with one another. We do this mostly by speaking to other people and listening to what they say to us, and when we are close to them we can do it very easily.However, our voices will not travel very far even w hen we shout.The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell, a Scots man who was born in 1847. On June 2nd, 1875, he heard the first sounds from the other end of a piece of an electric wire. Some months later, he spoke the first words ever to be sent over a distance by electricity.Although Bell had made the first telephone, at first none seemed interested. He showed his instrument at an exhibition but it was regarded as no more than a toy.Fortunately for Bell, the King of Brazil happened to pass by and heard of his invention.

Love can be seen everywhere. Yet surprisingly, love has been the subject of less scientific research than other emotions, such as anger and fear. The reason for this may be two fold. First, love is a very complex(复杂) emotion, difficult to describe and measure. Secondly unlike many radial emotions, radical love is generally not a problem; thus less medical attention has been paid to it.What is love? This is a complex question and requires a complex answer. Love is a strong, positive attraction and feeling for another person or thing. But it is more than this. It also involves feeling of caring, protection, excitement, and tenderness. When two people are in love, they feel drawn to one another; they greatly enjoy each others company; and they may be sexually attracted to one another.Sometimes it is easier to think in terms of different kinds of love: romantic love, brotherly love, and so forth. Though they are different in some respects, they share one important characteristic; a strong positive feeling toward another.Our feelings toward other people are often complex. We may love someone and, at the same time, be angry with him. Or we may love someone, even though we are jealous of him. We might even love someone and, at the same time, hate for some precise reason.Hate is a strong negative emotion toward someone, and is due to anger, jealousy, or some other factor. Like love, hate can be a very strong emotion. It can also be very dangerous. The question is often asked, “Is it bad to hate?” The best answer is probably “sometimes yes and sometimes no.” Usually hate does not help us; it makes us feel unhappy and makes us do things that may hurt others. However, sometimes it may be necessary to hate and hurt someone in order to protect loved ones.41.

Jealous feeling toward someone.44. According to the passage, hate is caused by _.A. anger, jealousy or some other factorsB. anger, danger and hurtC. caring, protection, excitement and tendernessD. complex, strong positive emotion45. Which of the following is true?A. Love has been the subject of less scientific research because it is too simple an emotion.B. Radical love is so difficult to describe and measure that less medical attention has been paid to it.C. To hate is always too bad.D. We can have at the same time two opposite feelings for another.Passage 4From early times, man has been interested in art. People have often worked together to collect and save the worlds art treasures (珍宝).Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louver (罗浮宫) in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world.The Louver has not always been a museum. The first building was a fort (堡垒) with high walls and a round tower. It had a moat (护城河) to keep out the enemies.Over the years, the number of buildings around the castle grew.
