Part II Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)
Task l
Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we can’t ignore the disa dvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline(汽油), which is a non-renewable(无法更新的)resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life.
So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling(合用汽车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can’t be so effective if it’s taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities. The condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.
36. According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is _____.
A) the increase of population
B)the limited energy resources
C)the more serious air pollution
D)the development of technology
37.From the passage, we can know that ______.
A) effective measures can be taken mainly by the government
B) taking measures now can soon improve the environment
C) immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems
D) every single person’s action has some effect on environment protection
38. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to _____.
A) complain about people’s slow actions to protect the environment
B) advise people to take actions to protect the environment
C) show himself to be an active environment protector
D) point out the bad effects of technologies in protecting environment
39.The author believes that carpooling _____.
A) can give help to those without cars
B) can save people money and time
C) can save energy resources and reduce air pollution
D) can promote friendship among drivers
40. The passage is mainly about _____.
A) energy resources saving B) environment protection
C) population control D) air pollution
Task 2
First aid （急救）is the care given to the injured or sick as soon as possible after an accident or illness. It is this immediate care and attention before the arrival of the ambulance (急救车)that sometimes means the difference between life and death, or a full or partial recovery.
First aid has limitations, as not everybody is a doctor or expert, but it is a key element of the total medical system.
The principle to be adopted in first aid is immediate action. By-standers (旁观者)or relatives not knowing what to do, or being too fearful to try, have unwisely contributed to unnecessary deaths and worse injuries.
It is important that any action taken by the first aid provider is started as quickly as possible. Quick action is necessary to save life and parts of the body. One who is not breathing effectively, or is bleeding (流血)heavily, requires immediate help. If quick effective first aid is provided, then they have a much better chance of a good recovery.
But it should be remembered that any action taken is to be the most careful, and fright (恐惧)by the first aid provider and by-standers will not be good to the whole thing. Try to remain calm and think your actions through. A calm and controlled first aider will give everyone confidence that the event is being handled efficiently and effectively.
41.The writer seems to sugges t that if you don’t know much about first aid, you should
A) call for help from professionals B) still try to help
C) stand by and not try to help D) learn it from a doctor
42. According to the passage, some injured or sick people died as a result of ____ .
A)other people’s hesitation to offer first aid B) unprofessional first aid
C) unnecessary first aid D) unwise suggestions by by-standers
43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A)One should not apply first aid to the injured without knowing the case of the accident.
B)It is easy to carry out first aid if one has the necessary facilities.
C)First aid is an important part of the whole treatment.
D)First aid may not be effective before a doctor or expert comes.
44.The most important thing in providing first aid is to _____.
A) call for an ambulance B) prevent bleeding
C)know what to do D)act quickly
45. While offering first aid, the helper should _____.
A) be self-controlled B)have others to assist him
C)have confidence in the sick person D)get rid of the by-standers
Task3
Before making a speech, we often need to make brief speaking notes. You can put them on
cards no smaller than 150 x 100mm. Write in large and bold letters that you can see at a glance, using a series of brief headings to develop the information in sufficient detail. The amount of information you include in your notes will depend on the complexity (复杂性) of the subject, your familiarity with it, and your previous speaking experience. Here are some steps for you to follow when preparing brief speaking notes.
First, you should write a summary, or an outline, of the project to be reported and the results achieved. Then an introduction follows. This includes background information and purpose of the project. Next comes discussion. In this part, what has been done, how it has been done and the results achieved should be dealt with. At the fourth step, you have two choices: one is the conclusion if the project is completed. The other is the future plan if the project is still in progress. At last, a summary should be prepared. In this part, you should give a brief summing-up, plus a question-and-answer period.

Task 5
The rules for writing an abstract (摘要) are almost the same to those for writing the summary of an investigation report. In an abstract you (1) make an outline of the problem and the purpose of your investigation, (2)mention very briefly how you conducted the investigation or tests, (3) describe your main findings, and (4)make the conclusions. All this must be done in as few words as possible: ideally, your abstract will be about 125 words long and never more than 250 words.
From the abstract, readers must be able to decide whether the information you provide in the scientific paper or report is particularly interesting to them and whether they should read further. Because a scientific paper is written for readers who generally are familiar with your technical or scientific discipline (学科), you may use technical terminology (术语)in the abstract. The abstract should be written last, when the whole paper has been written, so that you can make an abstract of the brief details you need from what you have already written.
56. How will you write an abstract? You should write it in as _____ as possible.
57. What should be described in the abstract? Our___________.
58. What are the readers likely to do if they find the abstract interesting? The readers are likely to _____.
