Reading
Comprehension:
(
20% )
Directions: There are four
passages in this part. Each passage is followed by
some questions.
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
with
a
single
line
through the center.
Passage One
Questions 51 to
55 are based on the following passage:
Why
don
’
t
birds
get
lost
on
their
long
migratory
flights
from
one
place
to
another?
Scientists have puzzled over this
question for many years. Now
they
’
re beginning to fill in
the
blanks.
Not
long
ago,
experiments
showed
that
birds
rely
on
the
sun
to
guide
them
during
daylight hours. But
what about birds that
mainly
fly by night? Tests with artificial
stars have
proved that certain night-flying birds
are able to follow the stars in their long-
distance flights.
One such bird----a warbler
(
刺嘴莺
) -----has spent its
lifetime in a cage and had never
flown
under a natural sky at migration time. Yet it
showed an inborn ability to use the stars for
guidance. The
bird
’
s cage was placed under
an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to
fly in
the
same
direction
as
that
taken
by
his
outdoor
cousins.
Any
change
in
the
position
of
the
make-belief stars caused
a change in the direction of his flight.
Scientists think that warblers, when
flying in daylight , use the sun for guidance. But
the
stars are apparently their
principle means of navigation. When the stars are
hidden by clouds,
they
apparently
find
their
way
by
such
landmarks
as
mountain
ranges,
coast
lines,
and
river
courses. But when
it
’
s too dark to see these,
the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get
their
bearings (
方向感
).
51.
The reason
why birds don
’
t get lost on
their long migratory flights______
A.
has been known to scientists for years.
B. has only recently been discovered
C. is known by everyone
D. will probably remain a mystery
52.
During
daylight hours, birds ___________.
A.
fly aimlessly
B. rely on landmarks
C. use sun for guidance
D. are more
likely to get lost
53.
By
“
this outdoor
cousins
”
the author
means________.
A. other experiments
B. the other warblers of the same brood
C. warblers under the natural sky
D. are more
likely to get lost
54.
The
experiment with the warbler indicated
that________.
A. birds have to be
taught to navigate
B. a
bird that has been cages cannot fly long distances
C. some birds cannot fly at
night
D. some birds seem to follow the
stars when they fly at night
55.
In total
darkness, warblers _______.
A. use
landmarks
B. don
’
t know
which way to fly
C. fly back home
D.
wait for the stars to appear
Passage Two:
Questions 56
to 60 are based on the following passage:
Scientists
estimate
that
about
35,000
other
objects,
too
small
to
detect
with
radar
but
detectable with powerful
earth-based telescopes, are also circling the
earth at an altitude of
200 to 700
miles. This debris poses little danger to us on
the earth, but since it is traveling at
average relative speeds of six miles
per second, it can severely damage expensive
equipment
in a collision. This threat
was dramatized by a cavity one-eighth of an inch
diameter created
in a window of a
United States space shuttle in 1983. The pit was
determined to have been
caused by a
collision with a speck of paint traveling at a
speed of about two miles per second.
The window had to be replaced.
As more and more nations put satellites
into space, the risk of collision can only
increase.
Measures are already being
taken to control the growth of orbital debris. The
United Stated
has always required its
astronauts to bag their wastes and return them to
earth. The United
States Air Force has
agreed to conduct low-altitude rather than high-
altitude tests of objects it
put
into
space
so
debris
from
tests
will
reenter
the
earth’s
atmosphere
and
burn
up.
Extra
shielding
will
also
reduce
the
risk
of
damage.
For
example
2,000
pounds
of
additional
shielding is being considered for each
of six space-station crew modules (
舱
). Further, the
European
Space
Agency,
an
international
consortium
(
集
团
),
is
also
looking
into
preventive measures.
56.
It can be
inferred from the passage that debris was harmful
to one of the space shuttles
because
the debris was________.
A. large
B. moving very fast
C. radioactive
D. burning
uncontrollably
57
．
What effect did orbital debris have on
one of the space shuttles?
A. It removed some of the
paint
B.
It damaged one of the windows
C. It caused a
loss of altitude
D.
It led to a collision with a space station
58.
The
word
“
them
”
in
the
third
sentence
in
paragraph
2
refers
to
which
of
the
following?
A. Astronauts
B.
Wastes
C. Tests
D. Crew modules
59.
Which of the
following questions is NOT answered by the
information in the passage?
A.
How can small
objects orbiting the earth be seen?
B.
What is being
done to prevent orbital debris from increasing?
C.
Why is the
risk of damage to space equipment likely to
increase?
D.
When
did the United States Air Force begin making tests
in space?
60.
Where in the passage does the writer
mention a method of protecting space vehicles
against damage by space debris?
A. Line 6-8
B. Line 10-11
C.
Line 11-13
D. Line 13-14
Passage Three:
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the
following passage:
Given
a
good
shopping
position and
the
right
amount
of
money
available,
an
educated
person ought to be
able to make a small, steady living out of a
bookshop. It is not a difficult
trade
to learn and the large chain-stores can never
force the small independent bookseller out of
existence as they have done to the
corner shop and the local milkman. But the hours
of work are
very
long----I
was
only
a
part-time
employee,
but
my
employer
put
in
a
seventy-hour
week,
apart from regular journeys out of
shopping hours to buy books. It is an unhealthy
life too. As a
rule a bookshop is very
cold in winter, because if it is too warm the
windows get steamed up,
and a
bookseller depends on the display in his windows
trying to bring customers into his shop.
Books give off more dust and dirtier
dust than anything else yet invented, and the top
of a book
is the place where every fly
prefers to die.
But
the real reason why I should not like to be back
in the book trade for life is that while I
was in it, I lost my love of books. A
bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his
books, and
that
gives
him
a
dislike
for
them;
still
worse
is
the
fact
that
he
is
always
dusting
them
and
moving
them to-and-fro. There was a time when I really
did love books--- loved the sight and
smell
and
feels
of
them----if
they
were
fifty
or
more
years
old
that
are.
Nothing
pleased
me
quite so much as to buy a
bargain lot of then for 50 pence at a country
auction (
拍卖
)
sale.
There is a peculiar flavor about
the knocked-about unexpected books you pick up in
that kind of
