Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)
(Each item: 2)
Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the
four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 86 to 90 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed
to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that
the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable (可预见的)
future.
The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline
engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion (拥挤). One proposed solution to this problem is the automated (自动化的) highway system.
When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable (可伸缩的) arm will drop from
the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements.
The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax
and wait for the buzzer (蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.
86. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be ________.
A. its power source
B. its monitoring system
C. its driving system
D. its seating capacity
87. What is the author's main concern?
A. How to render automobiles pollution-free.
B. How to make smaller and safer automobiles.
C. How to solve the problem of traffic jams.
D. How to develop an automated subway system.
88. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?
A. A rail.
B. A retractable arm.
C. An engine.
D. A computer controller.
89. In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______.
A. keep in the right lane
B. wait to arrive at his destination
C. keep in constant touch with the computer center
D. inform the system of his destination by phone
90. What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos?
A. Enthusiastic.
B. Optimistic.
C. Pessimistic.
D. Cautious.
Questions 91 to 95 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been
accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers
try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox
population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of
specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs
eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of
red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse
and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over
the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they
think it is brutal (残酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass
off without some kind of confrontation (冲突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻拦
者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are
almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit (追逐) of foxes itself. But this year
supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in Britain.
91. Rich people in Britain have been hunting foxes ________.
A. for recreation
B. to limit the fox population
C. in the interests of the farmers
D. to display their wealth
92. What is special about fox hunting in Britain?
A. It involves the use of a deadly poison.
B. It is a costly event which rarely occurs.
C. The hunters have set rules to follow.
D. The hunters have to go through strict training.
93. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game ________.
A. by resorting to violence
B. by taking legal action
C. by confusing the fox hunters
D. by demonstrating on the scene
94. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to ________.
A. prohibit farmers from hunting foxes
B. forbid hunting foxes with dogs
C. stop hunting wild animals in the countryside
D. prevent large-scale fox hunting
95. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. killing foxes with poison is illegal
B. limiting the fox population is unnecessary
C. hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel and violent
D. fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between the poor and the rich Questions 96 to 100 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated.
Advocates of organic foods—a term whose meaning varies greatly—frequently proclaim
that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical
North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been
sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting
nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific
evidence, the great number of written material advancing such claims makes it
difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims
that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically-grown foods prevents or cures
disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and popular
among customers.
Almost daily the public is surrounded by claims for "no-aging" diets, new vitamins,
and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated (无确实根据的) reports that
natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are
nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than
fertilized grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that
they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are misled
if they believe organic foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional
quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if
consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.
96. The word "Advocates" (Para. 1) is closest in meaning to which of the following?
A. Supporters.
B. Merchants.
C. Inspectors.
D. Consumers.
97. What does the word "others" (Para. 1) refer to?
A. Advantages.
B. Advocates.
C. Organic foods.
D. Nonorganically-grown produc ts.
98. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because ________.
A. organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally- grown foods
B. many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally-grown
foods
C. conventionally-grown foods are more readily available than organic foods
D. too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops
99. According to the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are
better than conventionally-grown foods are often ________.
A. careless
B. mistaken
C. mistaking
D. wealthy
100. What is the author's attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health
foods?
A. Very enthusiastic.
B. Somewhat favorable.
C. Neutral.
D. Doubtful.
Questions 101 to 105 are based on the same passage or dialog.
For me, scientific knowledge is divided into mathematical sciences, natural sciences or sciences dealing with the natural world, and sciences dealing with mankind. Apart from these sciences is philosophy. In the first place, pure or theoretical knowledge has been sought only for the purpose of understanding. What distinguishes man from
animals is that he knows and needs to know. If man did not know that the world
existed, and that the world was of a certain kind, that he was in the world and that
he himself was of a certain kind, he wouldn't be man. The technical aspects or applications of knowledge are equally necessary for man and are of the greatest importance, because they also contribute to defining him as man and permit him to
pursue a life increasingly more truly human.
But even while enjoying the results of technical progress, he must defend the value of
pure knowledge. Knowledge sought directly for its practical applications will have
immediate and foreseeable success, but pure or theoretical knowledge will not. Let me
recall a well-known example. If the Greek mathematicians had not applied themselves to
the investigation of conic (圆锥形的) sections, keenly and without the least suspicion that it might someday be useful, it would not have been possible centuries later to navigate far from shore. The first men to study the nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments, carried on because of mere intellectual curiosity,
would eventually lead to modern electrical technology, without which we can scarcely
think of contemporary life. Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake, because the human spirit cannot resign itself to ignorance. But, in addition, it is the foundation
for practical results that would not have been reached if this knowledge had not been
sought disinterestedly.
101. The most important advances made by mankind come from ________ according to the
passage.
A. practical applications of social sciences
B. practical applications of pure knowledge
C. sciences dealing with the natural world
D. the biological sciences
102. The author does NOT include among the sciences the study of _________.
A. chemistry
B. astronomy
C. economics
D. literature
103. The author points out that the Greeks who studied conic sections ________.
A. were mathematicians
B. were interested in navigation
C. were unaware of the practical value of their studies
D. worked with electricity
104. The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is ________.
A. Technical Progress
B. A Little Learning Is a Dangerous Thing
C. Man's Distinguishing Characteristics
D. The Value of Pure Knowledge
105. Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake because ________.
A. it is sought only for the purpose of understanding
B. it is the foundation for practical results
C. people are keen on it
D. people are curious about it。
