iii. reading comprehension (30%)

passage 1

climate, more than any other single factor, determines the

distribution of list on earth. climatic boundaries establish the

limits within which organisms can survive. plants, even more

than animals, must be adapted to climate in order to survive.

they cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped

to endure whatever weather conditions are likely to occur. in

the harsh conditions of the tundra, for example, low growing

mosses, lichens, and a few flowering plants all hug the ground

for shelter from icy winds.

animals, despite their ability to move about and find shelter,

are just as much influenced by climate as plants are. creatures

such as the camel and the penguin are so highly specialized

that they have an extremely limited distribution. others, such

as bears, are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of

climates. ocean- dwelling organisms are just as sensitive to

climatic changes---in this case temperature and salinity---as

land animals. reef corals can survive only in clear warm

seawater. certain foraminifers are so sensitive to changes in

their environment that their presence can be taken as an index

of sea temperature. human beings are among the least

specialized of all animals and can live almost anywhere. their

clothes and

their homes act as a sort

of “miniature climate” that can be

taken with them everywhere.

(words: 223)

51. according to the passage, plants on the tundra grow close

to the ground_________.

a. to avoid being eaten by arctic animals

b. because fertilizer is not readily available

c. to minimize exposure to the cold

d. because unfrozen water supplies are very scarce

52. according to the passage, which of the following can be

found in the greatest number of different climate areas on

earth?

a. reef coralsb. penguins

c. bears d. camels

53. it can be inferred from the passage foraminifers are a

____________.

a. kind of weather pattern

b. form of sea life

c. species of tundra plant

d. type of miniature penguin

54. according to the passage, human beings can survive

almost everywhere on earth because_____.

a. they have developed advanced forms of transportation

b. they have learned how to process seawater for drinking

c. their body temperature can vary considerably

d. their shelters and clothing help them to adapt to the

environment

55. according to the passage, animals were influenced by

_______ despite their ability to move about and find shelter.

a. climateb. territory c. soil d. human beings

passage 2

psychiatric (

精神病学的

) tests show that a well-balanced

person gets much angrier when provoked than an abnormal

person does. at the new york state psychiatric institute, dr.

james page and professor of psychology carney landis of

columbia university studied the reaction of 200 normals and

210 abnormals. they tested their reactions to maddening

situations of every type and variety, such as: being laughed at

and ridiculed, being repeatedly disconnected on the telephone,

accidentally hitting their thumb with a hammer, being worked

on by a backseat driver, being told to “shut up”

and mind their

own business, discovering someone cheating in a friendly

card game, etc. in almost every instance the anger reaction of

the normal group was much more intense than that of the

abnormal one.

“this,” they reported, “is in accord with other p

sychiatric

findings. for one of the outstanding symptoms of mental

unbalance is an emotional apathy.” so if you blow your top
