Part III
Reading Comprehension (25 points)
Section A
Directions
: In this section,
there are four passages followed by questions or
unfinished statements,
each with four
suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best
answer and mark your answer
on the
Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Sometimes
a
race
is
not
enough.
Sometimes
a
runner
just
wants
to
go
further.
That’s
what
happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke
Curran.
Martin,
68,
a
retired
detective
form
New
York
City,
took
up
running
after
his
first
wife
died.
Curran, 46, a
philanthropist(
慈善家
)from
Alexandria, started running to get out of the
house and
collect her thoughts. Both
she and Martin got good at running but felt the
desire to do more. “The
more I trained,
the better I got,” Curran said,” but I would cross
the finish line with no sense of
accomplishment.”
Eventually , they worked up to running
marathons(
马拉松
)(and longer
races) in other countries,
on
other
countries.
Now
both
have
achieved
a
notable
-and
increasingly
less
rate-
milestone;
running the 26.2-mile race on all seven
continents.
They are part of a
phenomenon that has grown out of the running
culture in the past two decades,
at the
intersection of athleticism and leisure:
“runcations,” which combine distance running
with
travel to exotic
places. There trips, as expensive as they are
physically challenging, are a growing
and competitive market in the travel
industry.
“In
the
beginning,
running
was
enough,”
said
Steen
Albrechtsen,
a
press
manager.
The
classic
marathon was the ultimate goal, then
came the super marathons, like London and New
York. But
when
90,000
people
a
year
can
take
that
challenge,
it
is
no
longer
exciting
and
adventurous.
Hence, the
search for new adventures began.”
“No
one
could
ever
have
imagined
that
r
unning
would
become
the
lifestyle
activity
that
it
is
today,”
said Thom Gilligan,
founder and president of Boston-based Marathon
Tours and Travel.
Gilligan,
who
has
been
in
business
since
1979,
is
partly
responsible
for
the
seven-continent
phenomenon.
It started with
a casual talk to an interviewer about his company
offering trips to every continent
except Antarctica. And then in 1995,
Marathon fours hosted its first Antarctica
Marathon on King
George
Island.
Off
the
tip
of
the
Antarctic
Peninsula;
160
runners
got
to
the
starting
line
of
a
dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian
icebreaker through the Drake Passage.
21. At the beginning, Martin took up
running just to _________.
A. meet
requirements of his job
B.
win a running race
C. join in a
philanthropic activity
D. get away
from his sadness
22. Martin and Curran
are mentioned as good examples of __________.
A. winners in the 26.2-mile race on all
seven continents
B. people who enjoy
long running as a lifestyle activity
C.
running racers satisfied with their own
performance
D. old people who live an
active life after retirement
23. A new
trend in the travel industry is the development of
_________.
A. challenging runcations
B. professional
races
C. Antarctica travel market
D. expensive tours
24. The classic marathon no longer
satisfies some people because _________.
A. it does not provide enough challenge
B. it may be tough and
dangerous
C. it involves too fierce a
competition
D. it has attracted too many people
25. The first Antarctica Marathon on
King George Island indicates that _________.
A. international cooperation is a must
to such an event
B. runcations are
expensive and physically challenging
C.
Marathon Tours is a leader of the travel industry
D. adventurous running has become
increasingly popular
Passage Two
Before the 1970s, college students were
treated as children. So many colleges ran in loco
parentis
system. “In loco parentis”is a
Latin term
meaning “in the
place of a parent.” It describes when
someone else accepts responsibility to
act in the interests of a child.
This
idea
developed
long
ago
in
British
common
law
to
define
the
responsibility
of
teachers
toward their students. For years,
American courts upheld in loco parentis in cases
such as Gott
versus Berea College in
1913.
Gott
owned
a
restaurant
off
campus.
Berea
threatened
to
expel
students
who
ate
at
places
not
owned
by the school. The Kentucky high court decided
that in loco parentis justified that rule.
In
loco
parentis
meant
that
male
and
female
college
students
usually
had
to
live
in
separate
buildings. Women had to be back at
their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.
But
in
the
1960s,
students
began
to
protest
rules
and
restrictions
like
these.
At
the
same
time,
courts
began to support students who were being punished
for political and social dissent.
In
1960,
Alabama
State
College
expelled
six
students
who
took
part
in
a
civil
rights
demonstration. They sued the school and
won. After that it became harder and harder to
defend in
loco parentis.
At
that time, students were not considered adults
until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to
the Constitution set the voting age at
eighteen. So in loco parentis no longer really
applied.
Slowly, colleges began to
treat students not as children, but as adults.
Students came to be seen as
consumers
of educational services.
Gary
Dickstein, an assistant vice president at Wright
State University in Dayton, Ohio, says in
loco parentis is not really gone.
It just looks different. Today’s
parents, he says, are often heavily
involved
in
students’lives.
They
are
known
as
“helicopter
parents.”They
always
seem
to
hover
over their children.
Gary Dickstein says these parents are likely to
question decisions, especially
about
safety
issues and
grades. They
want
to
make
sure
their
financial
investment
is
not
being
wasted.
26.
Before the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco
parentis system because________ .
A.
they could take the place of the
students’parents
B. parents
asked them to do it for the interests of their
children
C. this was a tradition
established by British colleges
D.
college students were regarded as too young to be
treated as adults
27. Who won the case
of Gott versus Berea College in 1913 __________
A. Berea College.
B. Gott.
C. It was a win-win case.
D. The students.
28. The
word “dissent”(Para.5) probably means “
”.
A. extreme behaviors
B. violation of laws
C. strong disagreement
D.
Wrong doings
29. In
1960
，
the court ruled that
Alabama State College
A. had no right
to expel the students
B. was justified to have expelled the
students
C. shouldn’t interfere with
students’ daily life
D. should
support civil rights demonstrations
30.
According to Gary Dickstein, today’s “helicopter
parents_____
___.
A. don’t
set their hearts at rest with college
administrators
B. keep a
watchful eye on their children’s life and
study
C. care less about
their children’s education than before
D. have
different opinions
on their children’s education
Passage Three
We tend to
think of plants as the furniture of the natural
worl
d. They don’t move they don’t make
sounds, they don’t seem to respond to
anything –
at least not very quickly.
But as is often the case,
our human
view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk
to each other all the time. And the
language is chemical.
Over
the
years
scientists
have
reported
that
different
types
of
plants,
from
trees
to
tomatoes,
release compounds
into the air to help neighboring plants. These
chemical warnings all have the
same
purpose
—to
spread
information
about
one
plant’s
disease
so
other
plants
can
defend
themselves. But exactly how plants
receive and act on many of these signals is still
mysterious.
In this wee
k’s
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences,
researchers in Japan offer some
explanations. They have identified one
chemical message and traced it all the way from
release to
action.
The
scientists looked at tomato plants
infested(
侵害
) by common pest,
the cutworm
caterpillar(
毛
虫
).
To start out, they grew plants in two plastic
compartments connected by a tube. One plant
was
infested
and
placed
upwind
and
the
others
were
uninfested
and
placed
downwind.
The
downwind plants were
later exposed to the cutworm caterpillar. The
results showed that plants
that had
previously been near sick neighbors were able to
defend themselves better against the
caterpillar.
The
researchers
also
studied
leaves
from
exposed
and
unexposed
plants.
They
found
one
compound showed up more often in the
exposed plants. The substance is called Hex Vic.
When
the scientists fed Hex Vic to
cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by
17%. The scientists
identified
the
source
of
Hex
Vic,
and
sprayed
it
lightly
over
healthy
plants.
Those
plants
were
then able to start producing the
caterpillar-killing Hex Vic. Researchers confirmed
that uninfested
plants have to build
their own weapon to fight off bugs and diseases.
How do they know when to
play defense
They are warned first by their friendly plant
neighbors.
It is a complex tale, and it
may be happening in more plant species than
tomatoes. It may also be
happening with
more chemical signals that are still unknown to
us. For now though, we know that
plants
not only communicate, they look out for one
another.
31. What does the author try
to emphasize Paragraph 1 ________.
A.
How plants communicate is still a mystery.
B. Enough attention has been paid to
plant talk.
C. Plants are the furniture
of the natural world.
D. Plants can
communicate with each other.
32.
According to Paragraph 2, what remains unknown is
______
A. how plants receive and handle
the signals from their neighbors
B. why
plants spread chemical information to their
neighbor
C. how many types of plants
release compounds into the air
D.
whether plants send chemical warnings to their
neighbors
33. The tomato plants in the
experiment were ______
A. placed
separately but connected through air
B.
expose to different kinds of pests
C.
exposed to the pest at the same time
D.
placed together in a closed compartment
34. The experiment shows that the
infested plant helps its neighbors by ______
A. making more Hex Vic to attract the
pest
B. releasing Hex Vic into the air
to warn them
