Parr III Reading Comprehension (40%)

Directions:

There

are

four

passages

in

this

part.

Each

passage

is

followed

by

five

questions

or

unfinished

statements.

For

each

of

them,

there

are

four

choices

marked

A,B,C,D.

You

should

decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single

line through the center.

Passage one

Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.

Milan has prohibited the consumption and sale of alcohol young teenagers in an effort to curb

binge-dr inking(

遏制狂欢饮酒

)

。

Parents of children under the age of 16caught drinking wine or spirits will be liable to heavy fines

of up 500 Euros($$700).

A third of 11-year-olds in the city have alcohol relate problems.

In a country where for centuries wine has been part of local culture the prohibition has come as a

shock.

But

the

authorities

are

deeply

concerned

about

the

increase

in

consumption

of

alcohol

by

children as young as 11 in the county’s industrial and financial capital.

So as an experiment, supplying alcohol

—

either wine or spirits

—

to youths under the age of 16 in

bars, restaurants and liquor stores will be prohibited.

Heavy

fines

will

be

imposed

on

the

parents

of

offending

children

and

on

shopkeepers

or

bar

owners who serve them.

A

national

law

prohibiting

the

sale

of

alcohol

to

under-16s

is

only

loosely

enforced(

执行

),as

Italian families are used to sometimes giving young children a teaspoon of wine as a family party

treat.

In the past centuries, Italian children would sometimes even be given wine to drink in preference

to water which was often polluted.

There has been a storm of protest by bar owners who refuse to act as alcohol police for young

people.

But

more

Italians

have

realized

that

their

old

easy-going

attitudes

towards

consumption

of

alcohol will have to change.

33. Which of the following is prohibited in Milan?

A) Drinking wine or spirits

B) Selling wine and spirits to Italian people

C) Binge- drinking in Milan

34. Who will be liable to heavy fines of up to 500 Euros?

A) Parents of young teenagers caught drinking alcohol

B) Parents of 11-year oils having alcohol related problems.

C) Children under the age of 16 drinking wine or spirits

D) 11-year- olds who have alcohol related problems.

37. The difficulty in enforcing a national law to prohibit the sale of alcohol to young teenagers

mainly comes from________.

A) protests of bar owners

C) parents of teenagers

D

) Italian tradition

Passage Two

Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage

Although you may think that bottled water is a safer option than tap, two new reports show that

the

store-bought

stuff

is

actually

less

regulated(

监督

)

than

the

water

you

get

out

of

your

tap

almost for free.

The

Food

and

Drug

Administration

(FDA)

has

little

authority

to

regulate

bottled

brands,

according to a U.S . Congressional report released recently.

While

municipal

water

utilities

are

required

to

provide

public

reports

of

test

results,

bottled-water makers are not. So although you may pay a pretty penny for bottled water, that

doesn’t mean it’s any better than what’s coming out of your tap. In fact, it could be worse and

you’d never know it.

The

new

research

is

backed

by

a

report

from

the

Environmental

Working

Group

(EWG)

The

nonprofit

organization

surveyed

the

labels

and

Web

sites

of

nearly

200

popular

bottle-water

brands and found that less than 2 percent disclosed three important facts that can affect safety:

the water’s

source , purification (

进化

) methods, and chemical pollutants (

污染物质

) in each bottle.

Reaching for the most popular bottled brands isn’t necessarily a solution. In fact, the EWG report

says that some of the best-known brands are the least likely to report where the water comes

from and what it contains.

38. Compared with bottled water, tap water____.

A) is actually less regulated

B) is more strictly regulated

C) contains more pollutants

D) has safer water source

39. Which of the following is true about bottled water?

A) Purification methods are reliable and adequate.

B) Most brands of bottled water are regularly tested

C) Bottled water might contain more pollutants.

D) Bottled brands provide test results publicly.

40. The focus of the survey by the EWG is on_____.

A) the purification methods to process water.

B) the important facts related to the safety of water.

C) the labels and Web sites of bottled- water brands.
