Reading Comprehension Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C

14、 and D. Decide on the choice that best completes the question.Passage 1In the old days, divers（潜水员）used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuable things in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the

15、surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metal has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is the “Lusitania”, which sank off the so

16、uthern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly 1,500 lives. It has four huge propellers（螺旋桨）made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $300,000 or more. The ship, lying on the sea-bed, has been bought by a man called John Light. He paid about $1,200,000 for the whole

17、ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $600,000.31.

A. before 1915 B. before it sank C. after it sank D. after he had brought up the propellersPassage 2What makes Ame

20、ricans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home? The answers lie in the way Americans live today. During the first few decades of the twentieth century, canned and convenience foods freed the family cook from full-time duty at the kitchen range. Then, in the 1940s, work in the wa

21、rtime defense plants took more women out of the home than ever before, setting the pattern of the working wife and mother.Today about half of the countrys married women are employed outside the home. But, unless family members pitch in with food preparation, women are not fully liberated from that c

22、hore. Instead many have become, in a sense, prisoners of the completely cooked convenience meal. It is easier to pick up a bucket of fried chicken on the way home from work or to take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.

23、Also, the rising divorce rate means that there are more single working parents with children to feed. And many young adults and elderly people, as well as unmarried and divorced mature people, live alone rather than as part of a family unit and dont want to bother cooking for one.Fast food is appeal

24、ing because it is fast; it doesnt require any dressing up, and it offers a “fun” break.36. American women left home to work in large numbers because of _.

27、 family. C. Elderly people living alone. D. Unmarried mature people.40. What is this passage mainly about? A. Changes in the American family during World War . B. Womens liberation in America. C.

28、 travel is an everyday experience these days because its so fast.
