阅读理解一、
When
Mike
Kelly
first
set
out
to
build
his
own
private
space-ferry
service,
he
figures
his
bread-and-butter
business
would
be
lofting
high-
earth
orbit.
Now
he
thinks
he
may
have
figured
wrong.“People
were
always asking me when
they could go,” says Kelly, who runs Kelly Space &
Technology, “I realized the real market is
i
n
space
tourism.”?
According to preliminary
market surveys, there are 10,000
would
-be space tourists willing to
spend $$1
million
each
to
visit
the
final
frontier .Space
Adventures
in
Arlington has
taken
more
than
130
deposits
for
a two-hour,
$$98,000
space
tour
tentatively
set
to
occur
by
2005.
This
may
sound
great,
but
there
are
a
few
hurdles.
Putting
a
simple
orbit-with
no
oxygen,
life
support
or
return
trip
necessary-
already
costs
an
astronomical
$$22,00/kg.
And
that
doesn?t
include the cost of insuring r
ich and
possibly litigious passengers. S1 The entire group
of entrepreneurs trying to
corner the
space-
tourism market have between
them“just enough money to blow up one
rocket.”
The U.S. space
agency has plenty of money but zero interest in
making space less expensive for the little guys.
So the
little guys are racing to do
what the government has failed to do: design a
reusable launch system that?s inexpensive, safe
and reliable. Kelly Space?s prototype
looks like a plane that has sprouted rocket
engin
es. Rotary Rocket in California
has a
booster
with
rotors
to
make
a
helicopter-style
return
to
Earth.
The
first
passenger
countdowns
are
still
years
away,
but
bureaucrats at the Federal Aviation
Administration in Washington are already
informally discussing flight regulations. After
all, you can?t be too prepared for a
trip to that galaxy far, far away.?

life supporting system.
B) The entrepreneurs trying
to explore the space- tourism have plenty of
moneys.
?
C) The
government have little interests in this
project.
?
D) The first
passenger countdowns are within a few
years.

Why does cream go bad
faster than butter? Some researchers think they
have the answer, and it comes
down
to
the
structure
of
the
food,
not
its
chemical
composition
—
a
finding
that
could
help
rid
some
processed
foods
of
chemical
preservatives.
Cream and
butter contain pretty much the same substances, so
why cream should sour much faster has been a
mystery.
Both
are
emulsions
—
tiny
globules
(
小球体
)
of
one
liquid
evenly
distributed
throughout
another.
The
difference
lies
in
what?s in
the globules and what?s in the surrounding liquid,
says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.
In cream, fatty globules
drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules
of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of
fat. The bacteria which make the food
go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the
mixture. “This means that in cream,
the
bacteria are free to grow throughout the
m
ixture,” he says.
When the situation is reversed, the
bacteria are locked away in compartments
(
隔仓室
) buried deep in the sea
of fat.
Trapped
in
this
way,
individual
colonies
cannot
spread and
rapidly
run
out
of nutrients
(
养料
). They
also
slowly
poison
t
hemselves
with
their
waste
products.
“In
butter,
you
get
a
self
-
limiting
system
which
stops
the
bacteria
growing,”
says
Brocklehurst.
The
researchers
are
already
working
with
food
companies
keen
to
see
if
their
products
can
be
made
resistant
to
bacter
ial attack through
alterations to the food?s structure. Brocklehurst
believes it will be possible to make the emulsions
used in salad cream, for instance, more
like that in butter. The key will be to do this
while keeping the salad cream liquid
and not turning it into a solid lump.
significance of
Brocklehurst?s research is
that
__
A)it suggested a way
to keep some foods fresh without preservatives
B) it discovered tiny
globules in both cream and butter C) it revealed
the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and
butter
D) it found that
cream and butter share the same chemical
composition
37. According
to the researchers, cream sours fast than butter
because bacteria ___
______.
A) are more
evenly distributed in cream
B) multiply more easily in
cream than in butter
C) live on less fat in
cream than in butter
D) produce less waste in cream than in
butter
38. According to
Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by
___________.
A) removing its fat
B) killing the bacteria
C) reducing its water
content
D) altering its
structure
39. The word
“colonies” (Line 2, Para. 4) refers to __________.
A)
tiny globules
B) watery regions
C) bacteria communities
D) little
compartments
40. Commercial
application of the research finding will be
possible if salad cream can be made resistant to
bacterial attack
_______. A) by varying
its chemical composition
B) by turning it into a solid lump
C) while keeping its
structure unchanged
D) while retaining its liquid form

Engineering

are
supposed
to
be
examples
of
practicality
and
rationality,
but
when
it
comes
to
my
college
education
I
am
an
idealist
and
a
fool.
In

I
wanted
to
be
an
electrical

and,
of

any

have

and

and

But
that's
not

I
did.
I

study
engineering
at
a
small
liberal-arts
（文科）
university
that
doesn't
even
offer
a
major
in

engineering.
Obviously,
this
was
not
a
practical
choice;I
came
here
for
more
noble
reasons.
I
wanted
a
broa
d
education
that
would
provide
me
with
flexibility
and
a
value
system
to
guide
me
in

I
wanted
to
op

my
eyes
and
expand
my
vision
by
interacting
with
people
who
weren't
studying
science
or
engineering.
My
p
arents,
teachers
and
other
adults
praised
me
for
such
a
sensible
choice.
They
told
me
I
was
wise
and
mature
bey
ond
my
18
years,
and
I
believed
them.
I
headed
off
to
college
sure
I
was
going
to
have
an
advantage
over
those
students
who
went
to
big
engineer

they

you
have

or
were
flexible.
I
was
going

be
a
complete

（人文学者）
all
in
one.
Now
I'm
not
so
sure.
Somewhere
along
the
way
my
noble

crashed
into
reality,
as
all

do.
After
three
years
of
struggling

there

The

that

When one looks back
upon the fifteen hundred years that are the life
span of the English language, he
should
be able to notice a number of significant truths.
The history of our language has always been a
history of constant
change
—
at
times
a
slow,
almost
imperceptible
change,
at
other
times
a
violent
collision
between
two
languages.
Our
language has always been
a living growing organism, it has never been
static. Another significant truth that emerges
from
such a study is that language at
all times has been the possession not of one class
or group but of many.
『
At
one extreme it
has been the property of
the common, ignorant folk, who have used it in the
daily business of their living, much as they
have used their animals or the kitchen
pots and pans.
』①
At the
other extreme it has been the treasure of those
who have
respected
it
as
an
instrument
and
a
sign
of
civilization,
and
who
have
struggled
by
writing
it
down
to
give
it
some
permanence, order,
dignity, and if possible, a little beauty.
As
we
consider
our
changing
language,
we
should
note
here
two
developments
that
are
of
special
and
immediate
importance to us. One is that since the
time of the Anglo-Saxons there has been an almost
complete reversal of the different
devices for showing the relationship of
words in a sentence. Anglo-Saxon (old English) was
a language of many inflections.
Modern
English
has
few
inflections.
We
must
now
depend
largely
on
word
order
and
function
words
to
convey
the
meanings that the older language did by
means of changes in the forms of words. Function
words, you should understand,
are words
such as prepositions, conjunctions, and a few
others that are used primarily to show
relationships among other
words. A few
inflections, however, have survived. And when some
word inflections come into conflict with word
order,
there may be trouble for the
users of the language, as we shall see later when
we turn our attention to such maters as WHO
or WHOM and ME or I. The second fact we
must consider is that as language itself changes,
our attitudes toward language
forms
change also.
『
The eighteenth
century, for example, produced from various
sources a tendency to fix the language into
patterns not always set in and grew,
until at the present time there is a strong
tendency to restudy and re-evaluate language
practices in terms of the ways in which
people speak and write.
』②
contrast to the earlier linguists,
modern linguists tend to
.
A. attempt to continue the
standardization of the language
B. evaluate language
practices in terms of current speech rather than
standards or proper patterns
C. be more concerned about
the improvement of the language than its analysis
or history
D.
be more aware of the rules of the language usage
the appropriate meaning for the word
“inflection” used in line 4 of paragraph
2.
A. Changes in the forms of words.B.
Changes in
sentence structures.
C. Changes in spelling rules.
D. Words that have similar meanings.
of the following statements is not
mentioned in the passage?
A. It is generally believed that the
year 1500 can be set as the beginning of the
modern English language.
B. Some other languages had great
influence on the English language at some stages
of its development.
C. The English language has been and
still in a state of relatively constant change.
D. Many classes
or groups have contributed to the development of
the English language.

Culture is one of the
most challenging elements of the international
marketplace.
『
This system of
learned
behavior
patterns
characteristic
of
the
members
of
a
given
society
is
constantly
shaped
by
a
set
of
dynamic
variables:
language,
religion, values and attitudes, manners and
customs, aesthetics, technology, education, and
social institutions.
』①
To cope with this system, an
international manager needs both factual and
interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent,
the factual knowledge can be learned;
its interpretation comes only through experience.
The
most
complicated
problems
in
dealing
with
the
cultural
environment
stem
from
the
fact
that
one

one has
to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the
business world on how to deal with cultural
diversity. One is
that business is
business the world around, following the
model of Pepsi and McDonald?s. In some
cases, globalization is a
fact of life;
however, cultural differences are still far from
converging.
The
other school proposes that companies must tailor
business approaches to individual cultures.
Setting up policies
and procedures in
each country has been compared to an organ
transplant; the critical question centers around
acceptance or
rejection. The major
challenge to the international manager is to make
sure that rejection is not a result of cultural
myopia or
even blindness.
Fortune
examined
the
international
performance
of
a
dozen
large
companies
that
earn
20
percent
or
more
of
their
revenue overseas. The
internationally successful companies all share an
important quality: patience. They have not rushed
into situations but rather built their
operations carefully by following the most basic
business principles. These principles
are to know your adversary, know your
audience, and know your customer.

Videodisc
holds
great
promise
of
helping
to
meet
the
needs
of
American
schoolchildren
who
have
problems
seeing, hearing, speaking, or socializing. Almost
eleven percent of the students aged 3~21 in this
country have an
impairment
that
affects
their
ability
to
benefit
from
a
regular
education
program.
Handicapped
students
require
special
education because
they are often markedly different from
most children in one or more of the
following ways: mentally
retarded(
发展迟缓的
)
learning-disabled,
emotionally
disturbed,
deaf,
visually
handicapped,
physically
handicapped,
or
other health impairments. The education
of these handicapped children is rewarding but
challenging.
A
special
education
student
usually
needs
a
longer
period
of
time
to
acquire
information.
Repetitive
teaching
techniques are
often beneficial, and
indefatigable(
孜孜不倦的
)
consistency on the part of the teacher is
frequently necessary.
Interactive
videodisc
courseware
has
characteristics
that
can
be
capitalized
upon
to
meet
the
challenges
that
special
education poses. A
videodisc program is infinitely patient.
Repetition of any videodisc lesson can continue
endlessly, and
designers can assure
absolute consistency within a program. Most
important, according to special educator William
Healey
of
the
University
of
Arizona,
is
that
videodisc
an
extra
dimension
of
realism
for
children
who
need
graphic
representations.
Healey
explained
that
deaf
and
mentally
retarded
children
especially
have
difficulty
grasping
figurative(
< br>比喻
的
)language and higher-
order language concepts. He believes that for
special education, the power of videodisc lies in
the
ability of the technology to
visually represent language concepts normally
taken for granted by non-handicapped persons.
Complex
figurative
language
forms
such
as
idioms
and
metaphors
come
most
readily
to
mind
as
being
difficult
for
handicapped learners.
62. The special education mentioned in

[A] genius
students from day-care centers to colleges
[B] students who are fond
of computer video games
[C] teachers of language in the
University of Arizona [D] students who are either
mentally or physically disabled
63. A
videodisc courseware is beneficial to those who
have study difficulties because
________
.
[A] its fancy design is very attractive
[B] it allows the user to
go back to where he wants to restudy
[C] the content of it is
healthy and promising
[D]
it is developed by university professors
64. According to Professor Healey, we
may infer that mentally retarded children perhaps
________.
[A]
need graphic representations in order to
understand higher-order language concepts
[B] are good at
studying English idioms but often fail to grasp
higher-order language concepts
[C] are not very patient
with videodisc which helps them to understand the
world concepts
[D] tend to be deaf as well and have
difficulty learning the simple concept

阅读理解七、
Among all the animals,
the ape is most like human beings. Both people and
apes have the similar brain
structure,
the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of
blood.
There are four kinds of apes:
the chimpanzee(
黑猩猩
), the
orangutan(
猩猩
), the
gorilla(
大猩猩
), and the
gibbon(
长臂
猿
). They
live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions
of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including apes
are covered with brown, reddish-brown,
or black hair everywhere on their bodies except
their faces, feet, and hands. Their
hands each have four fingers and a
thumb that helps them grip things the way our
thumbs help us. But they also have a
thumb on each foot instead of a big
toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet
also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not
walk on the ground very much. However,
their arms are very strong. This enables them to
swing from branches and travel
very
quickly from tree to tree.
These
animals live in small family groups that move from
place to place in search of vegetables and fruits.
They also
eat eggs, small animals,
nuts, and insects. When they are tired, they build
nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there
for
more than a night or two. Then they
move on to look for more food.
There
are some differences among the following three
kids of apes. The gibbon is never more than three
feet high and
weight only about
fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet
tall and weight up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is
smaller than the gorilla. It stands
three to five feet tall and weight up to 200
pounds.
Chimpanzees are the smartest of
all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and
eat, to dress themselves, and to do
things that human children can do.
57. What does the first paragraph tell
us?
[A] The ape looks like human beings
most.[B] People and the ape think alike.
[C] People and the ape behave alike.
[D] The ape is the most
intellectual animal in the world.
58.
Which of the following sentences is TRUE?
[A] All apes are brown or black. [B]
All parts of apes' bodies are covered with
hair.
[C] Apes have weak
legs but very strong arms.
[D] Apes' arms are strong enough to
swim.
59. Apes build nests in the trees
but seldom sleep there for more than a night or
two because ________.
[A] They like to
live in small family groups
[B] They like to move from place to
place in search of more food
[C] They
like to eat eggs, small animals, nuts and insects
[D] it rains too often in
the deep forests
60. Among the three
kinds of apes, ________.
[A] the
gorilla is the biggest
[B]
the gibbon is only three feet high but it is
heavier than the orangutan
[C] the
orangutan is smaller than the gorilla and cleverer
than the gibbon
[D] the orangutan can
stand up to a great height, but others cannot
61. The last paragraph tells us that
________.
[A] chimpanzees can do better
than human children [B] chimpanzees can do many
things that human children cannot do
[C] human children can do many things
that chimpanzees cannot do
[D] the
intelligence of chimpanzees is similar to that of
human children
