. Reading Comprehension

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

Man is a land animal, but he is also closely tied to the sea. Throughout history the sea has

served the needs of man. The sea has provided man with food and a convenient way to travel to

many parts of the world. Toady, experts believe that nearly two-

thirds of the world?s population

live within eighty kilometers of the seacoast.

In

the

modern

technological

world

the

sea

offers

many

resources

to

help

mankind

survive.

Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many

of man?s needs in the future.

The

riches

of

the

sea

yet

to

be

developed

by

man?s

technology

are

impressive.

Oil

and

gas

explorations

have

existed

for

nearly

thirty

years.

Valuable

amounts

of

minerals

such

as

iron,

copper and so on exist on the ocean floor.

Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. For example, warm temperature

of the ocean can be used as the steam in a steamship. Sea may also offer a source of energy as

electricity for mankind.

Technology

is

enabling

man

to

explore

even

deeper

under

the

sea.

It

is

obvious

that

the

technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the 2050, experts believe that the problems

to explore the food, minerals and energy resources of the sea will have been largely solved.

21

. What is the beat title for the passage?

( )

A. Needs of Man

B. Sea Harvest and Food

C. Sea and Sources of Energy

D. Sea Exploring Technology

22

. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

( )

A. man hasn?t completely made use of the riches of the sea

B. technology for exploring the sea has been solved

C. harvesting rice in the sea will be made possible

D. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor

23

. Why does the author mention a steamship?

( )

A. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.

B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ships.

C. To argue that man should use steamships.

D. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.

24

. According to the author, technology is important because ______.

( )

A. resources on land are running short in ten years

B. man can use it to explore the deeper sea

C. it is a lot of fun diving into the sea

D. ancient people used it to explore the sea

25

( )

A. In the next generation.

B. By the end of the 20th century

C. In the near future

D. By the middle of the 21st century

Passage

Two

Questions

2

6 to

3

0 are based on the following passage:

Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty- three percent of the adult men and

thirty-one

percent

of

the

adult

women

in

the

United

States

smoke

cigarettes

regularly.

It

is

encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking.

It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age

group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44.

Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person?s smoking habit. City

people smoke more than people living on farms. Well- educated men with high incomes are less

likely

to

smoke

cigarettes

than

men

with

fewer

years

of

schooling

and

lower

incomes.

On

the

other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more

packs of cigarettes per day.

The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women

with

higher

family

income

and

higher

education

than

among

the

lower

income

and

lower

educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.

Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income,

well- educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to

start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke.

26

. What do we know from the first paragraph ?

( )

A. More and more people take up the habit of smoking.

B. There are more smoking women than smoking men in USA.

C. It is good news that more people have given up smoking.

D. The U.S. has more smoking people than any other country.

27

.

What factors determine a person?s smoking habits ?

( )

A. Age, income and education.

B. Age, sex and income.

C. Occupation, income and sex.

D. Occupation, income and education.

28

.

Which of the following is true according to the passage ?

( )

A. City people are less likely to smoke.

B. People in rural areas are more likely to smoke.

C. Men with higher income tend to smoke.

D. Well- educated men with high incomes are generally less likely to smoke.

29

.

What is the smoking situation for women ?

( )

A. The situation is quite the same for women as for men .

B. Better- educated women are likely to smoke heavily.

C. There are more women smokers with low incomes.

D. Women with higher incomes and higher education do not tend to smoke.

30

.

What can we say about teenaged smokers ?

( )

A. The picture about the teenage smokers is similar to that of women smokers.

B. The situation among teenagers is quite the same with men.

C. High school students are more likely to smoke than college students.

D. Farmers' children tend to smoke more.
