Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: There are 5 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by 4questions or unfinished statements.

20、 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 AnswerSheet.Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:One of the major achievements of modem science is the determination of theapproximate age of the earth, now

21、 reckoned at 4.6 billion years. This makes thevarious parts of a composition.A. knowB. to know33. I am glad to tell you that youA. had passed B. passed34. This is the hotel last year.A.at which we stayedC. where we stayed atC. knowing D. known your exam.C. have passed D. will have passedB. that we s

22、tayedD. where we stayed inEarth far older than was formerly imagined. Indeed, one eighteenth-century religious andscientific authority circulated the widely accepted view that the planet was only some fourthousav years old. To modem scientists, however, geologic time begins with theformation of the

23、Earths solid crust sometime earlier than the age of the oldest known rock.Geologists divide this vast expanse of time into four eras-the Precambrian, the Paleozoic,the Mesozoic, and the Cenozoic, which takes us to the present. Thus, the almostebj1jgryears of planetary history and the 100,000 or so y

24、ears of human existence areencapsulated in a mere four categories. Obviously, to aid in the discussion of such vastperiods of time, further division and specification becomes necessary. Accordingly, the lastthree eras are further divided into 12 periods and more than 40.el2ochs, each divisionbeing d

25、etermined by characteristic types of rock and planfand animal fossil. Since thePrecambrian era alone is more than four billion years long, is structurally complex, and hasfew fossils, it has been divided roughly in half for convenience of discussion. Scientists areworking hard to discover clues abou

26、t the earths most distant past, but there still is astartling lack of : 24detail about both portions of the planets Precambrian era.41. It can be inferred from the passage thatA. the four eras are of approximately equal duration.B.the Precambrian period is divided into periods and epochs.C. the Meso

27、zoic period predates the Paleozoic.D. the Precambrian period predates the Cenozoic.42. The paragraph following the passage would most likely addressA. continuing scientific research into the Precambrian era.B. the Mesozoic era.C. the Cenozoic era.D. what is known about the Precambrian era:43. The wo

28、rd This in line 2 refers toA. geologic time.B. the achievements of modern science.C. a scientific discovery.D. the determination of Earths ageO44. According to the passage, what can be inferred about the Precambrian era?A. It had a plenitude of fossils.B. Its duration is brief.C. It is impossible to

29、 study.D. Division of the era was necessary for more focused discussion.Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:John F. Kennedy was, at 43, the youngest American to be elected president, andalso the first Roman Catholic. Johns grandfather was a poor Irishman who migrated toAmerica. Thi

30、s immigrant and his son, Joseph, accumulated wealth and political power.Thus, John Kennedy had the advantage of wealth, family, and education.During World War II, John F. Kennedy had an outstanding record in the Navy.After the war, Kennedy worked briefly as a newspaperman, and then entered politics.

31、 Hewas three times elected to the House of Representatives before becoming a senator fromMassachusetts. In 1960 he was elected president in a very close race in which there werecharges of irregularities.Kennedys term of office was highlighted by appeals to idealism, a broadened baseof political part

32、icipation, and improved civil rights. In international affairs, Kennedy saw thefailure of the American-backed invasion of Cuba, and the Cuban missile crisis whichbrought Russia and the United States to the brink of war.The Kennedy family has known triumph and tragedy. One of John Kennedys sisterswas

33、 mentally retarded and an older brother was killed during a wartime aerial mission.John Kennedy was assassinated-as was his outspoken brother, Robert Kennedy. Thefamily has suffered scandals of sex, alcohol, and drugs in both Johns generation and inthis present generation. Many believe that for the

34、young, wealth and prominent family toomuch, too soon, too easy are more of a curse than a help.45. Which element is inaccurate as to how Kennedy became president?A. He was the first Catholic elected president.B. He was the first senator to be elected president.C. He was a very rich American presiden

35、t.D. He was the youngest man elected president.46. Prior to becoming president, John F. KennedyA. had a creditable career in the wartime Navy.B.held a position as a radio executive.C. worked for the family business enterprises.D.easily won his nomination and presidential election.I47. This article t

36、akes the position thatA. John was the first Kennedy to enter public service.B. only through wartime service can one become president.C. family wealth and position may not always be beneficial.D. Kennedy was held back by his family reputation.48. What international problems faced the Kennedy presiden

37、cy?A. The conflict of England and GermanyB. The problem of an impoverished IrelandC. Confrontation with the Soviets over CubaD. Cuban-backed invasion of Florida Questions 49 to 52 are based on the followingpassage:Globally, the most commonly consumed source of energy is oil, which is estimatedto mak

38、e up approximately 40 percent of the worlds energy demand. Found in naturalunderground reservoirs, oil is a thick, dark liquid that is recovered from the ground throughpumping and drilling processes. It has been profitably extracted from many sites acrossthe globe, and its liquid form makes it relat

39、ively easy to transport; these two characteristicsof oil have contributed to the development of an enormous international industry based onthe production and distribution of this fuel. Oil is an extremely valuable commodity, used tocreate plastics, chemicals, and 90 percent of the fuel that powers v

40、ehicles.At one time, coal was the worlds primary source of fuel. Although it currentlyaccounts for a smaller percentage of global energy consumption than oil, coal is still amajor fossil fuel. The extraction process for coal differs from the drilling method ofextraction used for oil because coal is

41、sedimentary rock, as opposed to a liquid, andtherefore must be mined. More abundant than any other fossil fuel, coal has been a majorsource of energy for many years, contributing significantly to the technological advances ofthe Industrial Revolution. Although the applications of coal have changed s

42、ince theintroduction of the internal combustion engine decreased the need for coal to power steamengines, it is still a heavily exploited energy source. In the United States, it powers 50percent of the electricity the country uses, whereas oil generates only 2 percent of thecountrys electricity.Comp

43、rising a percentage of global energy consumption similar to coal, natural gasis a fossil fuel that occurs in a gaseous form. Natural gas is recovered from undergroundreservoirs when pockets of gas are drilled into and pressure is applied in order to force it tothe surface. Because it is a gas, this

44、form of fossil fuel has not been as widely utilized ascoal and oil, and for sometime it was considered to be nothing more than a byproduct of oil;until recently, transporting natural gas was expensive and required complex pipelinesystems that limited the potential transportation range. However, new

45、technology hasmade it possible to cool natural gas into a liquid form (LNG). As a liquid, natural gas can bedistributed using systems similar to those used for oil. As an energy source, natural gascan be used in diverse ways. It helps produce electricity, fuels vehicles, and meetshousehold energy ne

46、eds-for example in cooking and heating. In terms of pollution, naturalgas is a cleaner fossil fuel when burned it releases 30 percent less carbon dioxide than oiland 45 percent less carbon dioxide than coal.In spite of these differences, oil, coal, and natural gas can be grouped in a singlecategory

47、as fossil fuels and, as such, share many similarities. Two problematic issuescommon to oil, coal, and natural gas are related to the finite supplies of fossil fuels and thehealth risks associated with these fuel sources. As the three major sources of globalenergy; oil, coal, and natural gas account

48、for approximately 87 percent of the worldsenergy consumption. Because global energy demands are constantly rising while thesenonrenewable fossil fuel reserves are depleted, in the future, humanity will be facingsevere energy crises if it does not change the way resources like natural gas, coal, and

49、oilare consumed. Another drawback of fossil fuel use is the intrinsic health risk. Oil, forexample, contains carcinogenic chemicals, a serious problem when populated areas arecontaminated with petroleum. In the coal industry, miners face many health risks: coal dustcauses a lung disease know as blac

50、k lung.49. According to Paragraph l, which of the following is true about extracting oil from theground?A. It must be transported immediately after it reaches the surface.B.It must be drawn out of the ground from subterranean pools.C. It must be gathered carefully because of its carbon dioxide conte

51、nt.D. It must be liquefied before it can be easily removed.50. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 about coal?A. It was the first fuel used to generate electricity.B. It was most widely used when it powered steam engines.C.It is currently the most commonly used fossil fuel.D. Its usage is declinin

52、g because it causes pollution problems.51. In Paragraph 3, the author explains that natural gas is cleaner than other fossil fuelsbyA. comparing its primary uses with the uses of coal and oil.B.describing the extraction processes for oil, coal, and natural gas.C. contrasting its carbon dioxide emiss

53、ions with the emissions of oil and coal.D. stating the percentage of global energy consumption each fossil fuel accounts for.52. The word finite in the last paragraph is closest in meaning toA. accessibleB.localizedC. limitedD. promising Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:Just as

54、exercise strengthens the heart and lungs, bones and muscles, it may alsopower up the brain. A succession of scientific studies of animals suggests that physicalactivity has a positive effect on mental functioning.Its clear that the brain benefits from exercise, says brain scientist WilliamGreenough

55、of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His studies with rats havedemonstrated two primary effects of activity: vigorous physical exercise provides the brainwith more fuel, and skill-based exercise increases the formation of connections in the brain,which, according to the proposals of so

56、me scientists, may make the brain better able toprocess information.In one experiment, laboratory rats were separated into three groups. One group wasexercised by running inside an automatic wheel, a second group improved their skills in acomplicated obstacle course, and a third group was inactive.T

57、he animals that learned to go through the obstacle course exhibited a greaternumber of brain connections than the animals in the exercised or inactive groups,Greenough said, In contrast, the animals that exercised inside the automatic wheelpossessed a greater density of blood vessels in the brain th

58、an did either of the other twogroups of animals.Human studies have focused primarily on older adults and suggest that regularexercise can improve the speed with which the brain processes information.Measurements made by Arthur Kramer at the University of Illinois demonstrated thatinactive adults, ag

59、ed 63 to 82, could hit buttons faster in response to a tone after they wentthrough a 10-week water exercise course. A corresponding control group that didntexercise showed no improvement.This boost in reaction time after exercise training may occur because declinesassociated with getting old could a

60、ctually stem from declines in physical condition. Somescientists speculate the reduction in mental function often attributed to getting old mayreally be a pen alty of n eglect ing to stay physically active, in additi on to related factorssuch as medici nes and poor diet.53. What makes the brain bett
