Part I I 阅读理解

Passage 1

When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the question, “Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city ’s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity of those interviewed.

This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking. On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.

A. to take the elevator B. to walk up the stairs

A. they don ’t live near business areas B. they don ’t need the exercise

C. they never have parking problems D. they can ’t afford to take the bus

15. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that .

A. air pollution is not serious

B. anyone can live to be 107

C. country people should move to the city

D. walking is healthful exercise

Passage 2

For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world ’s greatest dramatist. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare. Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the work of our greatest writer. All of us use words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people. Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well- known proverbs and quotations.

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, makes full use of the great resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand. There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners) even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.

A. have never discussed who is the world ’s greatest dramatist

B. never discuss any issue concerning the world ’s greatest dramatist

B. Shakespeare, but only slightly

C. all Shakespeare’s writings

D. only the name of the greatest English writer

18. Which of the following is true?

A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare’s writings.

B. Shakespeare’s writings have become the property of those who are learning to speak English.

C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they use.

D. All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.

19. What does the word “proverb ” mean?

A. Familiar sayings. B. Shakespeare’s plays. C. Complaints. D. Actors and actresses.

20. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?

B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.

C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare’s time

D. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.

Passage 3

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought ( 干旱 ) and floods. Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has cut them down in large numbers.

Two thousand years ago, a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the country found itself faced by floods and starvation. Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this. They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.

This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees. The results are even more serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in, and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone, nothing remains but worthless desert.

23. Sooner or later the forests will disappear .

A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees

B. unless people stop cutting down their trees

C. unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees

D. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them

24. The word “bind” in Paragraph 5 means “ ”.

A. to wash away B. to make wet C. to make stay together D. to improve
