Each passage is followed by four comprehen

2、sion questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business clas

3、s. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and

4、 cassette players and mobile telephones. RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban (禁止) such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total

5、ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.

6、 The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircrafts computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a lab

7、oratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not. The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who cant hear

8、the instructions to turn off his radio because the musics too loud.1. The passage is mainly about _. A) a new regulation for al airlines B) the defects of electronic devices C) a possible cause of aircraft crashes D) effective safety measures for air flight 2. What is said about the over 100 aircraf

9、t incidents in the past 15 years? A) They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems. B) They may have taken place during take-off and landing. C) They were proved to have been caused by the passengers portable computers. D) They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic inte

10、rference. 3. Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because _. A) they dont believe there is such a danger as radio interference B) the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved C) most passengers refuse to take a plane which ban

11、s the use of radio and cassette players D) they have other effective safety measures to fall back on 4. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplanes computers? A) Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane. B) Because it

12、 remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with. C) Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs. D) Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research. 5. It can be inferred from the passage that the author _. A) is in favor of pro

13、hibiting passengers use of electronic devices completely B) has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference C) hasnt formed his own opinion on this problem D) regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flightPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Fo

14、r some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatures-learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards”; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective reward, at least in the early stages, had to be directly re

15、lated to such basic physiological (生理的) “drives” as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink of some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise.It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no reward e

16、xcept the successful outcome.Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “reward” the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but wo

17、uld still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens responses in situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on” a dis

18、play of lights，and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many three turns to one side.Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation

19、 that sometimes they would not turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble” when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights which pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering t

20、he skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control.6.According to the author, babies learn to do things which _.A) are directly related to pleasureB) will meet their physical needsC) will bring them a feeling of successD) will s

21、atisfy their curiosity（C）7.Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby _.A) would make learned responses when it saw the milkB) would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drinkC) would continue the simple movements without being given milkD) would turn its head to right or left when it

22、had enough to drink（C）8.In Papouseks experiment babies make learned movements of the head in order to _.A) have the lights turned onB) be rewarded with milkC) please their parentsD) be praised（A）9.The babies would “smile and bubble” at the lights because _.A) the lights were directly related to some

23、 basic “drives”B) the sight of the lights was interestingC) they need not turn back to watch the lightsD) they succeeded in “switching on” the lights（D）10.According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something is a reflection of _.A) a basic human desire to understand and control the

24、worldB) the satisfaction of certain physiological needsC) their strong desire to solve complexD) a fundamental human urge to display their learned skills（A）Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some way does

25、 not live up to the manufacturers claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction

26、.A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favor, assuming he or she has

27、 a just claim.Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstra

28、te what is wrong with the item in questions. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is uncle

29、ar” is better than “This stereo (立体声音响) does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer

30、can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.11.When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to _.A) complain personally to

31、the managerB) threaten to take the matter to courtC) write a firm letter of complaint to the store or purchaseD) show some written proof of the purchase to the store（D）12.If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, its better to complain to _.A) a shop assistant B) the store managerC) the

32、 manufacturer D) a public organization（B）13.The most effective complaint can be made by _.A) showing the faulty item to the manufacturerB) explaining exactly what is wrong with the itemC) saying firmly that the item of poor qualityD) asking politely to change the item（B）14.The phrase “live up” (Para

33、. 1, Line 2) in the context means _.A) meet the standard ofB) realize the purpose ofC) fulfill the demands ofD) keep the promise of（A）15.The passage tells us _.A) how to settle a consumers complaint about a faulty itemB) how to make an effective complaint about a faulty itemC) how to avoid buying a

34、faulty itemD) how to deal with complaints from customersPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Cancer is feared by everyone. And this fear is reaching epidemic(流行性) proportions. Not the disease itself there is no such thing as a cancer epidemic. Except for lung cancer, mostly

35、 caused by cigarette smoking, the incidence rates are leveling off, and in the case of some kinds of cancer are decreasing. But the fear of cancer is catching, and the country stands at risk of an anxiety, The earth itself is coming to seem like a huge carcinogen(致癌物). The ordinary, more or less sci

36、entific statement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things in the environment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the whole environment is “cleaned up.” This is not at all the meaning.The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences

37、in the incidence of cancer in various societies around the world for example, the high proportion of liver cancer in Africa and the Far East, stomach cancer in Japan, breast cancer in Western Europe and North America, and the relatively low figures for breast cancer in Japan and parts of Africa and

38、for liver cancer in America. These data indicate there may be special and specific environmental influences, largely based on personal life-style, that determine the incidence of various forms of cancer in different communities but that is all the data suggest. The overall incidence of cancer, count

39、ing up all the cases, is probable roughly the same everywhere.16Which of the following is closest to meaning to the phrase “leveling off”?A) Became very popularB) Reached its lowest level in popularityC) Stopped being popularD) Stopped increasing its popularity17According to the passage, the inciden

40、ce of cancer is generally believed _.A)to be based on inactive life styleB)to be due to anxietyC)to result from environmental influencesD)to be caused by heavy smoking18It can be inferred from the passage that the writers opinion about the relationship between cancer and environment is_. A) positive
