Ⅱ . Reading Comprehension (50points)

Passage One

Stories don't just happen they are created. There are no stories in the everyday

course of events; there are only the ingredients for stories. A dozen people may watch

a

man

standing

on

the

fifth

-

floor

ledge

or

a

small

child

crying.

There

is

no

story

involved in either case unless one of the dozen chooses to make one up—to surround

the isolated event with a beginning and an end, thereby giving what we call a meaning

to human action. In other words, there has to be a story

-

maker

--

a story

-

teller

--

if there

is to be a story.

You as the story

-

maker or writer are in complete control of all of the details of

your story. You have control over who the characters are, what they do, and why they

do it. You also have control over how the story is to be told and who is going to tell it.

You

can

adopt

one

of

a

number

of

points

of

view,

each

of

which

will

give

a

quite

different total story.

Broadly speaking, there are two major approaches a writer can take: (1) you can

present the story as if told by someone who is completely outside it, or (2) you can

present the story as if told by one of its characters. In either case, the teller's role is an

assumed role.

1. The author of this passage uses ingredients to mean ______.

A. creative features B. unimportant details C. misleading facts D. raw materials

2. Who controls all the details of the story?

A. The story

-

maker. B. The characters.

C. The publisher. D. The proofreader.

3. The main idea of this passage is ______.

A. stories are created B. nonfiction stories are true

C. legends are a type of story D. most stories are historical accounts

4. Based on the two approaches mentioned in the passage, the story can be told

by ______.

A. the one who writes the story

B. people who create stories

C. the man who is watched by people

D. the one who is one of the characters

Passage Two

The thought of not sleeping for twenty

-

four hours or more is not a pleasant one

for most people. The amount of sleep that each person needs varies. In general, each

of us needs about eight hours of sleep each day to keep our bodies healthy and happy.

Some people, however, can get by just a few hours of sleep at night.

It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps. But everyone needs some

rest to stay alive. Few doctors would have thought that there might be an exception on

this. Sleep is, after all, a very basic need. But a man named A1 Herpin turned out to be

a real exception, for supposedly, he never slept!

A1 Herpin was 90 years old when doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They

hoped to negate the claims that he never slept. But they were surprised. Though they

watched him every hour of the day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. He did not even

own a bed. He never needed one.

The closest that Herpin came to resting was to sit in a rocking chair and read a

half

dozen

newspapers.

His

doctors

were

baffled

by

this

strange

case

of

permanent

insomnia.

Herpin

offered

the

only

clue

to

his

condition.

He

remembered

some

talk

about his mother having been injured several days before he had been born. Herpin

died at the age of 94, never having slept a wink.

5. This passage centers on ______.

A.

dream

interpretation

B.

patterns

of

sleep

C.

A1

Herpin's

sleepless

life

D.

sleeps and dreams

6. The expression

A. a confusing expression B. a rude expression C. an everyday expression D. an

improper expression

7. A1 Herpin's condition could be regarded as ______.

A. normal

B. curable

C. healthful

D. rare

8. The most likely reason on Herpion's insomnia was ______.

A. his mother's injury before he was born

B. that he never got tired

C.

his

magnificent

physical

condition

D.

that

he

got

enough

rest

rocking

Passage Three

Americans are well known for the strange diets they always seem to be following.

It seems that Americans like to diet almost as much as they like to eat. New types of

diet plans are always coming out. Usually, though, they don't stay popular for long.

There

are

many

diets

on

the

market.

It

is

often

difficult

to

know

which

ones

really work. It's also hard to believe how fast a dieter is supposed to shed pounds. A

lot has been written about dieting. And some interesting facts about diets and foods

have been discovered.

For example, did

you know that the more celery you eat, the more weight you

will lose.9 Celery has

a piece of celery than there are in the celery stick itself.

Dieters

shun

potatoes

because

they

think

they

are

fattening.

But

they

aren't.

A

potato has about the same number of calories as an apple. To gain a single pound, you

would have to eat eleven pounds of potatoes!

Some dieters even worry about getting fat from licking postage stamps. But they

have nothing to worry about. The glue on an average stamp has only about one

-

tenth

of a calorie. Maybe a diet of postage stamps would be popular?

9. This passage is all about ______.

A. vegetables

B. fads

C. Americans

D. dieting

10. Celery is a good food for the dieter because ______.

A. it has a lot of protein

B. vegetables are not fattening

C. it has

D. it is easy to digest

11. The shun is to ______.

A. love

B. hate

C. avoid

D. fear

12. One could conclude from this passage that ______.

A. dieting is not a healthy practice

B. everyone diets

C. there is only one good way to lose weight

D. dieting can be confusing

Passage Four

How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our

future energy needs?

These

are

two

important

questions

that

many

people

are

asking

today.

Some

people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They

suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to
