Part II

Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some

questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked

A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the

corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew

，

the fonder he became

of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his

wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end.

Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came

to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome young

man came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but

warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of

your fair

daughter, ” the young man replied poetically

（得体地）

. He then began this well-known

story:

“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men

to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made

water-proof and made fire- proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in

the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another

locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn.

Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two

grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”

“Stop” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young

man. “I must go on until I tell

you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince

protested. “Exactly” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s

beautiful young daughter.

41. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.

45. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.

Passage Two

Packaging is an important form of advertising. A package can sometimes motivate

someone to buy a product. For example, a small child might ask for a breakfast food that

comes in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture

than in the breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a

package, or small gifts inside a box also motivate many children to buy products or to

ask

their parents for them.

Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold

in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in a plain container

might cost less, people often prefer to buy the product in a reusable glass or dish, because

they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of

the product.

The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size”

printed on it. This suggests that the large size has the most product for the least money. But

that is not always true. To find out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price

of the basic unit.

The information on the package should provide some answers. But the important thing

for any buyer to remember is that a package is often an advertisement. The words and

pictures do not tell the whole story. Only the product inside can do that.

46. Which of the following statements could best summarize the m

ain idea of the

passage?

A. Children are interested in some packages of products.

B. Package is one of the important ways of advertising.

C. People prefer to buy the products in plain containers.

D. The size of a package usually motivates a buyer.

7. The phrase “a buyer will get something for nothing” ( Line 1, Para 2 ) probably

means _________.

A. a buyer will get something free of charge

B. a buyer will get something useless

C. a buyer will get something useful

D. nothing is worth buying

48. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Sometimes people are easily motivated by packages.

B. Small children sometimes are more interested in games printed on a package

than the product itself.

C. A product in a reusable container must be cheaper than a similar product in a

plain container.

,

D. “Economy Size”doesn t always suggest that people can buy the most product

for the least money
