Reading
Comprehension
(40%)
Directions
: There are 4
reading passages in this part. Each passage is
followed by some 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 the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet
with
your pencil.
Passage One
The American
Revolution was not a revolution in the sense of a
radical or total change. It
was
not
a
sudden
and
violent
overturning
of
the
political
and
social
framework,
such
as
later
occurred in France and Russia, when
both were already independent nations. Significant
changes
were ushered in, but they were
not breathtaking. What happened was accelerated
evolution rather
than outright
revolution. During the conflict itself people went
on working and praying, marrying
and
playing. Most of them were not seriously disturbed
by the actual fighting, and many of the
more isolated communities scarcely knew
that a war was on.
America
’
s War of
independence heralded the birth of three modern
nations. One was Canada,
which received
its first large influx (
涌入
)
of English-speaking population from the thousands
of
loyalists
who
fled
there
from
the
United
States.
Another
was
Australia,
which
became
a
penal
colony
now
that
America
was
no
longer
available
for
prisoners
and
debtors.
The
third
newcomer----the United
States-based itself squarely on republican
principles.
Yet even the political
overturn was not so revolutionary as one might
suppose. In some states,
notable
Connecticut and Rhode Island, the war largely
ratified (
批准，认可
) a colonial
self-rule
already
existing.
British
officials,
everywhere
ousted
(
驱逐
),
were
replaced
by
a
homegrown
governing class, which promptly sought
a local substitute for king and Parliament.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the
following passage:
31
．
Which of the
following would be the best title for the passage?
A)
The United
States: An isolated Community
B)
Breathtaking
Events during the American Revolution
C)
Canada and the
American war of Independence
D)
The American
Revolution: Evolution Not Revolution
32.
In
the
first
paragraph,
what
does
the
author
suggest
about
the
French
and
Russian
Revolutions?
装
A)
They were explosive and abrupt.
B)
They were
ineffective.
订
C)
They involved only those people living
in urban areas.
D)
They led to the release of all
political prisoners.

The war created new jobs.
C)
Life went on
as usual.

time.
34.
In
the
second
paragraph,
the
author
states
that
the
colonies
struggle
for
self-government
答
preceded the creation of
all of the following countries EXCEPT_____.
A) Canada

States

D)
the United Kingdom
题
35. It
can be inferred from the passage that the
loyalists who escaped to Canada were _____.
A) Russian
B) French
C) British
D)
Australian
Passage Two
Some of the most beautiful caves are
formed in glaciers (
冰川
).
Streams of melting ice and
snow tunnel
through the glaciers the same way that water from
a faucet melts its way through an
ice
cube.
Water
from
the
surface
drips
down
through
cracks,
hollowing
out
the
tunnels
and
decorating the caves
with crystal icicles. The smooth walls and floors
are so glasslike that pebbles
frozen
six
feet
deep
can
easily
be
seen.
Crystal-clear
icicles
draping
from
the
ceilings
flash
blue-green, as though
they were carved from precious jewels instead of
ice. Although most of the
cave ice in
the United States is found in lava caves, there
are a number of limestone ice caves as
well.
Some
people
believe
that
this
ice
was
formed
thousands
of
years
ago,
when
temperatures
were much
colder than they are today. Others think that the
cave ice broke off from the ancient
glaciers
as
they
spread
over
the
country.
Today
many
cave
scientists
have
another
idea.
They
believe that cold water
sinks down through cracks into these caves until
the temperature is chilly
enough to
freeze the water that seeps
(
渗入
) in. The ice that forms
keep the cave cool, and that
helps
build up still more ice. Many caves become covered
with so much ice that no one knows just
how
thick
it
is.
In
some,
such
as
Crystal
Falls
Cave
in
Idaho,
there
are
frozen
rivers
and
even
frozen
waterfalls.
Native
Americans
and
early
settlers
used
to
store
food
in
these
underground
refrigerators and chip out blocks of
ice to melt for drinking water.
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the
following passage:
36
．
What does the
passage mainly discuss?
A)
Characteristics of glaciers.
B)
Uses for ice
caves.
C)
The
origin of cave ice.]
D)
Where glaciers can be found.
37. According to many of
today
’
s cave scientists,
what causes ice to build up in caves?
A)
Rivers and
waterfalls supply water.
B)
Icicles accumulate on the ceilings.
C)
Cave ice
breaks off glaciers.
D)
Cold water seeps in and freezes.
38. It can be inferred from the passage
that the early settlers in the Unites States
appreciated the
ice caves for their
______.
A) practicality
B) beautiful interiors
C) historical value
D) precious
gems
39. The author compares icicles to
precious jewels based on which of the following?
A) Appearance.
B)
Cost.
C) Method of formation.
D)
Availability.
40. Where is most of the
cave ice in the United States found?
A)
In lava caves.
B) In ancient glaciers.
C) On cave ceilings.
D) In cave cracks.
Passage Three
Questions 31
to 35 are based on the following passages:
With the Switzerland-based World
Wildlife Fund(WWF), China is making a concerned
and
dedicated effort to save the
endangered pandas. The results, officials here in
Chengdu indicate, are
mixed but
encouraging.
A
clear
disappointment
is
the
failure
to
breed
pandas
in
captivity,
necessary
if
their
decreasing numbers are to be replaced.
Another failure has been the incapability to find
a natural,
readily available food to
replace the arrow bamboo.
Despite
these
failures,
success
has
come
on
two
fronts.
One
achievement
has
been
the
physical rescue effort. Some pandas
have been kept alive by salting the mountains with
tons of
cooked
meat,
which
pandas
will
eat
as
a
substitute
for
bamboo,
and
by
the
planting
of
new
bamboo in isolated
areas. Animals in some Sichuan areas have been
rescued by local peasants and
given
emergency treatment by animal doctors.
A second achievement is a massive fund-
raising effort. Publicity about the
pandas
’
plight has
resulted in a new $$100,000 emergency
allocation by the WWF and independent fund dries
both in
China and abroad.
In
spite of this support, there have been conflicts
in the panda relief program. One important
problem
is
the
difficulty
Peking
is
having
balancing
the
recommendations
of
environmentalists
with
China
’
s ambitious goal of
agricultural and industrial modernization.
Wolong
is
but
one
example
of
this
difficulty.
This
494,000-acre
preserve
was
declared
a
protected area in 1975. Yet 1,800
people, mostly Tibetans, still live in the
preserve, logging trunks
still
roll
down
the
narrow
mountain
roads,
and
blasting
work
still
goes
on
at
the
site
of
a
new
160,000-kilowatt hydroelectric plant
just six miles away.
This
all
means
that
the
panda
’
s
fight
for
survival
will
not
be
an
easy
one,
even
with
the
concerted effort of man.
For in the end, even if they can survive the
dangers of the wild, they must
still
contend with man.
41. Efforts to save
the endangered pandas _________.
A)
have met with
setbacks but brought hope
B)
have proven highly successful
C)
have failed
completely
D)
have received no response from the
scientists
42. Which of the following
threatens pandas
’
survival
in the Wolong preserve?
A)
Local population.
B)
Economic
development.
C)
Unfavorable environment.
D)
All of the
above.
43. All of the following help
prevent the decline of the panda population
EXCEPT__________.
A)
the large-scale fund-raising drives
B)
the
reproduction of panda offspring during captivity
C)
the rescue of
the injured and the sick
D)
the cultivation of new bamboo forests
44. It can be inferred from the passage
that _____.
A)
Switzerland is the only country that
contributes in the panda relief program
B)
it is too late
to rescue the endangered pandas
C)
the survival
of pandas is an international concern
D)
the lovely
pandas will soon die out
45. The tone
of the author
’
s conclusion
concerning pandas
’
survival
is _______.
A) worried
B) optimistic
C) angry
D) impersonal
Passage Four
We use emotive
language to express our own attitudes and
feelings. We also direct emotive
language at other people to persuade
them to believe as we do or to do, as we want them
to do;
and, of course, other people
direct emotive language at us to get us to believe
or to do what they
want.
We
are
subjected
to
a
constant
stream
of
persuasion,
day
in,
and
day
out,
at
home
and
in
school,
on
the
radio
and on
television.
It
comes
from
parents
and
teachers,
from
preachers
and
politicians, form editors and
commentators, but most of all, of course, from
advertisers. Most of
this persuasion is
expressed in emotive language and is intended to
appeal to our feelings rather
than to
be weighted up by our powers of reasoning.
We should look at the motives behind
all this persuasion. Why do they want to persuade
us?
What do they want us to do? We are
not thinking very clearly unless we try to see
through the veil
of words and realize
something of the speakers
’
purpose.
An appeal to motion is in
itself neither good nor bad. Our emotions exist
and they are part of
our personality.
On some occasions people appeal to our emotions on
the highest levels and from
