Reading Comprehension
Directions:
There
are
4
passages
in
this
part.
Each
passage
is
followed
by
some
questions or incomplete 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.
Passage
1
By adopting a few simple techniques,
parents who read to their children can greatly
increase their children’s language
development.
It
is
surprising but true. How parents
talk
to their children
makes a big
difference in the children’s language development.
If
a
parent
encourages
the
child
to
actively
respond
to
what
the
parent
is
reading,
the
child’s language skills
increase.
A
study
was
done
with
30
three-year-old
children
and
their
parents.
Half
of
the
children participated in the
experimental study
；
the other half acted as the control
group. In the experimental group, the
parents were given a two-hour training session
in which they were taught to ask open-
ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions.
For example, the parent should ask,
“What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the
doggie running away?”
The
parents in the experimental group were also
instructed in
how to help children find
answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities
and how to
praise correct answers.
At
the
beginning
of
the
study,
the
children
did
not
differ
in
measures
of
language
development,
but
at
the
end
of
one
month,
the
children
in
the
experimental
group
showed
5.5
months
ahead
of
the
control
group
on
a
test
of
verbal
expression
and
vocabulary. Nine months
later, the children in the experimental group
still showed an
advance of 6 months
over the children in the control group.
36. Which of the following can be
inferred from the passage?
A. Children
who talk a lot are more intelligent.
2
/ 9
成都大学专升本英语考前密押试卷
B. Parents who listen to their children
can teach them more.
C. Active children
should read more and be given more attention.
D. Verbal ability can easily be
developed with proper methods.
37. What
does “It” in line 2 can most probabl
y
be replaced by?
A. Parents’ increasing
children’s language development.
B. Reading techniques being simple.
C. Parents’ reading to
children.
D. Children’s
intelligence development.
38. According to the author, which of
the following questions is the best type to ask
children about?
A. Do you
see the elephant?
B. Is the
elephant in the cage?
C. What animals
do you like?
D. Shall we go
to the zoo?
39.
The
difference
between
the
control
group
and
the
experimental
group
was_________.
A.
the training that parents received
B.
the age of the children
C. the books
that were read
D. the number of the
children
40. The best conclusion we can
draw from the passage is that_________.
A. parents should be trained to read to
their children
B. the more children
read, the more intelligent they will become
C. children’s language skills increase
when they are required to respond
actively
D. children who
read actively seem six months old
Passage 2
He slept for a
good six hours, and the sun was high when he
awoke. As he sat up and
yawned, a pair
of strong hands seized his shoulders, and in a
moment his wrists were
tied tightly
together behind his back. He turned and stared
into Branko’s hairy face.
“What’s
this?” he said. The old man tested the knots
before answering, “Orders, Black
Peter’s changed his mind. Until we can
check on you.”
Martin
swore
loudly,
then
asked
if
he
could
talk
to
Black
Peter.
Branko
shook
his
head, “He’s busy.” Martin was seized by
despair. Now all his plans might fall unless
he could gain the confidence of Black
Peter.
After
some
thought
he
stood
up
and
walked
to
the
mouth
of
the
tunnel.
Branko
followed.
The
grassy
hollows
were
alive
with
men
busy
with
their
various
duties.
There must have been
a stream somewhere nearby, for a long line of men
were taking
their horses to the water;
others were setting up tents and lighting fire.
Immediately
opposite
was
another
tunnel
at
the
entrance
of
which
stood
two
guards
armed
with
guns.
Behind
them Martin
made out
the giant
form of Black Peter.
“There
he is,”he
said, “I must talk to him.”
Branko tried to stop him, but he pushed him aside,
walked
to the mouth of the tunnel and
called out : “Black Peter! I must talk to
you.”
The
leader
of
the
White
Eagles
was
seated
on
a
wooden
box,
deep
in
conversation
with
two
rough-
looking
men.
“What
is
it?”
he
said,
“Why
are
you
checking
on
me?”Martin
replied.
“I
need
to
be
sure
about
you,”
said
Black
Peter.
“There’s
too
much to close.”He
pointed into the tunnel, and Martin saw the wooden
boxes that he
3 / 9
成都大学专升本英语考前密押试卷
guessed must contain t
he
gold bars. “Is that the treasure?” he asked. Black
Peter stood
up, struggling between his
desire for secrecy and an obvious pride in the
success of
his plans. “Yes,” he said at
last.
41. Martin’s night
rest_________.
A. was
disturbed
B. lasted less than six
hours
C. lasted more than six hours
D. was suddenly cut short
42. What happened as soon
as Martin woke up?
A. Branko struck
him.
B. He was made a
prisoner.
C. Branko checked
that he was still tied up.
D. He was taken off to speak to Black
Peter.
43. The success of
Martin’s plans now depended on his_________.
A. escaping from the tunnel
B. finding the treasure
C. discovering who the leader of the
White Eagles was
D. persuading Black
Peter that he could be trusted
44. When he got to the mouth of the
tunnel, Martin saw men_________.
A. in fairly large numbers
B. fetching water from the stream

so satisfied with what he had done
B. he had decided to trust Martin
C. he saw that he could no
longer keep it a secret
D.
he knew that Martin could not escape
Passage 3
The aim of the
teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as
possible over the period in
which each
printed symbol is looked at for its shape, and
arrive at the stage when the
pupil
looks
at
words
and
phrases,
for
their
meaning,
almost
without
noticing
the
shapes of the separate letters.
When a good reader is at work, he does
not look at letters, nor even at words, one by
one, however quickly; he takes in the
meaning of two, three, or four words at a time,
in a single moment. Watch carefully the
eyes of a person who is reading, and it will be
seen that they do not travel smoothly
along the lines of print, but they move by jumps
separated by very short stops.
The eyes
of
a
very
good reader move quickly taking
long jumps and making very short halts;
the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly,
taking only short jumps and stopping
longer at each halt. Sometimes, when he meets a
difficulty, he even goes backwards to
see again what has already been looked at once.
The teacher’s task is therefore clear:
it is to train his pupils to take in several words
at
a glance (one
“eye
-
jump”) and to remove
the necessity for going backwards to read
something a second time.
This
shows
at
once
that
letter-
by-letter,
or
syllable-by-
syllable
(

)
or
word-by-word reading,
with the finger pointing to the word, carefully
