Part III Reading Comprehension (2x20)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet .
Passage 1
Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, s moking helps them to “think and
concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.
In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.
The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one. Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers were faster than deprived smokers.
In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it. Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble separating important information from insignificant details.
“As our tests became more complex,” sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform adequately at many jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage his mental capacity.”
61. The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is ________.
A. to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the
mental capacity of smokers
B. to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacity
C. to prove tha t smoking affects people’s regular performance
D. to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory
62. Geo rge Spilich’s experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.
A. compel the subjects to separate major information from minor details
B. put the subjects through increasingly complex tests
C. check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokers
D. register the prompt responses of the subjects
63. The word “bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.
A. beat
B. envied
C. caught up with
D. made the best of
64. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Active smokers in general performed better than deprived smokers.
B. Active smokers responded more quickly than the other subjects.
C. Non-smokers were not better than other subjects in performing simple tasks.
D. Deprived smokers gave the slowest responses to the various tasks.
65. We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.
A. smokers should not expect to become airline pilots
B. smoking in emergency cases causes mental illness
C. no airline pilots smoke during flights
D. smokers may prove unequal to handing emergency cases
Passage 2
There is no denying that students should learn something about how computers work, just as we expect them at least to understand that the internal-combustion engine (内燃机) has something to do with burning fuel, expanding gases and pistons (活塞) being driven. For people should have some basic idea of how the things that they use do what they do. Further, students might be helped by a course that c onsiders the computer’s impact on society. But that is not what is meant by computer literacy. For computer literacy is not a form of literacy (读写能力); it is a trade skill that should not be taught as a liberal art.
Learning how to use a computer and learning how to program one are two distinct activities. A case might be made that the competent citizens of tomorrow should free themselves from their fear of computers. But this is quite different from saying that all ought to know how to program one. Leave that to people who have chosen programming as a career. While programming can be lots of fun, and while our society needs some people who are experts at it, the same is true of auto repaid and violin-making.
Learning how to use a computer is not that difficult, and it gets easier all the time as programs become more “user-friendly”. Let us assume that in the future everyone is going to have to know how to use a computer to be a competent citizen. What does the phrase “learning to use a computer” mean? It sounds like “learning to drive a car”, that is, it sounds as if there is some set of definite skills that, once acquired, enable one to
use a computer.
In fact, “learning to use a computer” is much more like “learning to play a game”, but learning the rules of one game may not help you play a second game, whose rules may not be the same. There is no such a thing as teaching someone how to use a computer. One can only teach people to use this or that program and generally that is easily accomplished.
66. To be the competent citizens of tomorrow, people should ________.
A. try to lay a solid foundation in computer science
B. be aware of how the things that they use do what they do
C. learn to use a computer by acquiring a certain set of skills
D. understand that programming a computer is more essential than repairing a car
67. In the second paragraph “violin-making” is mentioned to show that ________.
A. programming a computer is as interesting as making a violin
B. our society needs experts in different fields
C. violin-making requires as much skill as computer programming
D. people who can use a computer don’t necessar ily have to know computer programming
68. Learning to use a computer is getting easier all the time because ________.
A. programs are becoming less complicated
B. programs are designed to be convenient to users
C. programming is becoming easier and easier
D. programs are becoming readily available to computer users（B）
69. According to the author, the phrase “learning to use a computer” (Lines 3-4, Para. 3) means learning ________.
A. a set of rules
B. the fundamentals of computer science
C. specific programs
D. general principles of programming
70. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is ________.
A. to stress the impact of the computer on society
B. to explain the concept of the computer literacy
C. to illustrate the requirements for being competent citizens of tomorrow
D. to emphasize that computer programming is an interesting and challenging job
Passage 3
The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness, if fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (承担的义务), self-improvement.
Ask a bachelor (单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but
they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
71. According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________.
A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities
B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single
C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage
D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement
72. Raising children, in the a uthor’s opinion, is ________.
A. a moral duty
B. a thankless job
C. a rewarding task
D. a source of inevitable pain
73. From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________.
A. hatred
B. misunderstanding
C. prejudice
D. ignorance
74. To understand what true happiness is one must ________.
A. have as much run as possible during one’s lifeti me
B. make every effort to liberate oneself from pain
C. put up with pain under all circumstances
D. be able to distinguish happiness from fun
75. What is the author trying to tell us?
A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.
B. One must know how to attain happiness.
C. It is important to make commitments.
D. It is pain that leads to happiness.
Passage 4
It’s very interesting to note where the de bate about diversity (多样化) is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate (公司的) leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companies are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corporate leader s know that if that doesn’t occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientist, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.
Likewise, I don’t hear people in the academy saying. “Let’s go backward. Let’s go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (不拘一格选人才) “ (which was never true-
we never had a meritocracy, although we’ve come close to it in the last 30 years). I re cently visited a great little college in New York where the campus had doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media-not in corporate board rooms or on college campuses.
76. The word “imperative” (Line 5, Para. 1) most probably refers to something ________.
A. superficial
B. remarkable
C. debatable
D. essential
77. Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?
A. Minorities.
B. Politicians.
C. Professors.
D. Managers.
78. High corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so as to ________.
A. lower the rate of unemployment
B. win equal political rights for minorities
C. be competitive in the world market
D. satisfy the demands of a growing population
79. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. meritocracy can never be realized without diversity
B. American political circles will not accept diversity
C. it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U.S. media
D. minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity
80. According to the passage diversity can be achieved in American society by ________.
A. expanding the pool of potential employees
B. promoting policies that provide skills to employees
C. training more engineers, scientists lawyers and business managers
D. providing education for all regardless of race or sex

逗号与逗号之间的是作为插入语，是association的定语从句，在此association作为一个整体概念出现，且其定语从句中也是用单数谓语动词has pressed，后面对应的物主代词也应该是单数概念的，故选D。

句意：我们的协会一直在敦促给残疾人更多的就业机会，并且讲在最近公布建议书。

32. 【解析】选［D］。

考查虚拟语气。

从句部分是对过去的虚拟，省略了if，因此出现倒装，但主句部分出现了明显的时间标志词now，可见是对现在的虚拟，故应该是would/could/should/might do的形式，切get为瞬间动词，不用进行时，故选D。

句意：如果朱迪数学考试时更认真一些，她现在成绩就会好多了。

33. 【解析】选［D］。

这是专四考试频考知识点了：A is to B what C is to D，由what引导的方式状语从句。

句意：9相对于3等同于3相对于1。

34. 【解析】选［C］。

这也是专四考试频考的知识点之一：in that引导原因状语从句。

for that不能引导从句，A和D都引导定语从句。

句意：人之所以有别于动物在于他们能思考，会说话。

35. 【解析】选［B］。

考查由much as引导的让步状语从句，意为“尽管”=although。

而as much意为“同样地，这样地”。

A和D不是固定搭配。

句意：尽管他想周末和朋友出去，却不得不留下完成作业。

36. 【解析】选［A］。

考查时间状语从句。

四个选项都可以引导定语从句，但这里没有后面从句修饰的先行词，故出现的不是定语从句。

从两部分之间的关系来看，后面部分提到了时间段，因此填入when，成为时间状语从句。

句意：去年我去巴黎拜访朋友时玩得非常开心。

37. 【解析】选［D］。

. 本题是今年专四试卷中出现的新题型，对英语专业同学的语法知识提出了一个更高的要求。

考查的是限定词位置的用法。

英语中的限定词可分为前位限定词、中位限定词和后位
限定词，一个名词前的限定词只能按照前位、中位、后位的顺序出现，其中两个前位或两个中位词不能同时出现在同一个名词前。

many是后位限定词，而his是中位限定词，与限定词排序规则有悖，故D为答案。

A选项中all是前位，his是中位，符合规则；B中half是前位，his是中位限定词；C中her是中位，few是后位限定词。

38. 【解析】选［C］。

考查的是反义疑问句。

复合句的反义疑问句应反问主句部分，本句主句是否定祈使句don’t forget to…，故祈使部分用will you。

句意：你读完那本书后，别忘了把它放回我的书桌上，好吗？
39. 【解析】选［A］。

本题属于“句意理解题”，也是伴随着57题，作为08专四的新题型，着实让考生出乎意料。

本题关键在于分析句中的wisely是修饰refused的，还是修饰refused to spend his money的，可以直接修饰refuse的副词有很多，如firmly，flatly，gracefully，politely等，但是当refuse后接动词不定式短语的时候，副词修饰的就是refuse to do这个动宾结构了。

如：resolutely refuse to answer坚决拒绝回答。

可见题干中句子的含义是：他明智地拒绝花钱（这件事情），这表示他拒绝花钱这件事是很明智的，故选A。

40. 【解析】选［A］。

as…as one can表示“尽可能地”。

A和B的区别就在于主语不同，B是they could be 的省略形式，因为主句中出现的动词是stood，不是be动词，因此该选项中的动词与前面不符；it could be 表示的意思是“在可能的情况下”，it指代前面提到的内容。

句意：他们站在那儿尽可能地随意聊天。

II. 完型答案与解析
41．B. 上文提到游泳，应该跳入水中，故选B项dive。

42．D. 下句中提到钝吻鳄游向岸边（shore），可推测孩子游向湖心，故选D项middle。

43．A. 上文提到湖在孩子家后，可以得知妈妈正在屋内从窗户里向外张望，故选A项looking out。

44．A. 下文提到钝吻鳄咬住了孩子，可知他们离的越来越近，故选A项closer。
