Reading Comprehension (3篇)Passage 1Size is not a standard in our definition of what consists of a country. A country need only be an independent state, with clear territorial lines, and its own government. This is a true benefit for Vatican City as it holds the title of being the smallest country in the world.Before 1870, however, political control by papal governments in central Italy spread for about 1600 square miles. In 1870, in a shift of political power, the Kingdom of Italy established Rome as the national capital, took political power from the papal governments, and absorbed the "Papal States" into its territory.A 1929 Agreement reached by the Italian government and the Pope established Vatican City as a country. All 0.17 square miles of it! Gradually the country has gained recognition by establishing political ties with other countries.Vatican City is the official location of the Catholic Church, and its head, the Pope, rules through a governor. This small-scale country has its own flag, coins its own coins, runs its own postal, transportation, telephone systems, and radio station.This country primarily supports itself through contributions from Catholics around the world, and through tourism. Safely placed within Vatican City lie some of the worlds' most valuable of riches: the Gardens, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Vatican Palace, which houses the Vatican Library, and the Pope himself.1. What's special about Vatican City?A. It's regarded as the most beautiful country in the world.B. It's the location of the United Nations.C. It has a variety of nationalities.D. It is the smallest country in the world.2. The "Papal States" was absorbed into the territory of the Kingdom of Italy___________.A. in 1870B. in 1929C. before 1870D. in 1870s3.

St. Peter's BasilicaC. the GardensD. the Pope's officePassage 2If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if wehad kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call ‘remembered history'. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.1. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A. "Remembered history", compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.2. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ___.A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write3. "Remembered history" refers to ___.A. history based on a person's imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C4. "Remembered history" is regarded as valuable only when ___.A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be trueD. people are interested in it5. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had ___.A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPart IV.
