Part 5 Reading comprehension
（每小题：分）
Directions：Read the following passages carefully. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences。

For each of them there are four choices marked A，B, C，and D。

Choose the best answer to each question。

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or
dialog.
It is very odd that no one is afraid of the word "dance" and no one would object to the phrase ”let’s go dancing，" but mention "ballet" and people start complaining。

These social prejudices come from several misconceptions and from certain historic facts。

Ballet is the Western theatrical dance form that has developed over a period of four centuries. It has always depended upon government or royal support for its life。

In more modern times，this support came from wealthy people who attend the ballet in beautiful theaters in some of the world's great cities。

People have, therefore, come to see
ballet as a cultural form.
Over time，Ballet has developed its own language, one that many ordinary people do not understand. Being a ballet dancer involves seven years of very difficult training from an early age，yet anyone can dance at a social gathering，given a certain amount of effort and desire. The physical image of both male and female dancers is very stylized，and costuming is so unnatural in many cases，with its tight clothes，special slippers，and short skirts. For these reasons, it is not possible for the general public to have the kind of identification with a ballet dancer that they often feel for an actor,
film star, or athlete.
It is also strange that a visual art that speaks directly to the eye，in the same way a soccer game or an Olympic gymnastic contest does, still makes people nervous。

Too often people stay away from ballet because they think they will not "understand” it。

However, they never seem to find this problem when they watch popular ice dance championships on television。

Nor are they afraid to express their opinions and sometimes disagree with judges’ decisions. People enjoy watching sports because they enjoy its physical daring。

They appreciate athletes’ superbly conditioned bodies working at maximum efficiency。

If people only looked at dancing – any form of dancing – in the same way they appreciate sports, there would be
fewer prejudices to overcome.
1.What is the social prejudice mentioned in the passage？
A. Some people like dancing but not ballet。

B. People don't like ballet if they don't come from a big city.
C. Ballet has always depended upon government or royal
support。

D。

People have come to see ballet as a cultural form。

2。

Which of the following statements is true？
A。

Many ordinary people understand Ballet.
B。

To become a ballet dancer is especially difficult.
C。

To become a dancer at a social gathering is equally
difficult.
D。

The general public like ballet better than other actors.
3.What is something strange mentioned by the author?
A. People appreciate sports more than they appreciate ballet.
B。

People understand sports，but they don’t understand
ballet.
C. People will enjoy ballet more if they see it as a sport。

D. Ballet that performs the same way as soccer still scares
people.
4.According to the author，why do people enjoy watching
sports?
A. They do not understand ballet.
B。

They think sports are more exciting。

C。

They love soccer and skating。

D. They can change judges’ decis ions.
5.What does the author want to say through this passage?
A。

Everyone can enjoy ballet.
B。

You can only enjoy ballet if you understand it.
C. Only educated people can enjoy ballet。

D。

To enjoy sports is less difficult than enjoy ballet 。

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or
dialog。

Do you ever automatically say ”God bless you" when someone sneezes （打喷嚏)? Did you ever cross your fingers when making a wish？Most people who do these things never think about why
they do them。

They just do them.
But there is a reason。

Both acts are meant to insure good luck。

They are superstitions that have come down to us from an earlier time，when everybody believed in good and devil spirits。

Even in our modern world，when men are traveling to the moon, we are still practicing some of these ancient habits in our daily lives.
In ancient times，men believed that the soul lived in the head。

Every time when someone sneezed，he was risking the danger of forcing that soul out and blowing it out of the nose into the outside world。

So, as protection against a lost soul，people would say "God bless you” to be sure that God would catch the soul and return it to
its rightful owner。

Similarly, in earlier times, men felt that the cross was a lucky sign。

The point where the two lines of a cross met was the luckiest spot, for if you made a wish on this spot，the wish would be held between these two lines and not get loose。

So，people crossed their fingers when they made a wish. A wish bound forever in this way would eventually have to come true。

Moreover, since the evil spirits stood on the left, and the good spirits on the right，the right side was always considered the lucky side of the body。

Putting your best foot forward meant starting out on the lucky side, with your right foot first。

That was a guarantee of good luck at whatever you were about to do. We still speak of ”putting your best foot forward,” although we don’t always start walk ing with
the right foot.
Each of these little good—luck habits once had a serious purpose.
Although people no longer believe in evil spirits, they are still crossing their fingers or putting their best foot forward – just to be
sure that good luck comes their way.
6.To make a wish come true，you should ________。

A。

knock on a wood
B。

fling salt over your shoulder
C. put your best foot forward
D。

cross your fingers
7。

To start out on the lucky side, you need to ________.
A. change the habit of starting with your right foot

C。

put your best foot backward
D。

let evil spirits stand on the left
8。

It can be inferred from the passage that people ________。

A. no longer believe in superstitions
B。

still believe that evil spirits follow them
C. follow superstitions without knowing where they began
D. think everyday things had magical powers

________。

A。

B。

evil spirits were too smart to be tricked
C。

they could do things to be protected from evil spirits
D. evil spirits lived in your head and nose

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or
dialog.
Red, white，pink，purple – what is your favorite color? We are all sensitive to color. There are some colors we like a lot and some we don't like at all. Some colors comfort us，others excite us, some make us happy, and others make us sad。

People are affected by color more than they realize because color is tied to all aspects of
our lives。

Experts in colorgenics，the study of the language of color, believe that the colors we wear say a lot about us。

Do you know why you select a shirt or dress of a certain color when you look through your clothes in the morning? Colorgenics experts say that we
unconsciously choose to wear certain colors in order to
communicate our desires，emotions, and needs.
Colorgenics experts claim that our clothes send messages to others about our mood, personality，and desires. Pink expresses the peace and contentment of the wearer。

People who often wear pink are supposed to be warm and understanding. The message is that you would like to share your peace and happiness with others. Red garments, on the other hand, indicate a high level of physical energy. People who wear red like to take life at a fast pace. Brown is the color of wealth，and it shows a need for independence and material security. Wearers of green have a love of nature and enjoy peaceful moments. They often like to be left alone with their
thoughts。

Although colorgenics may be a recent area of study, associating colors with emotions is not new。

Colors have always been used to describe not only our feelings but also our physical health and attitudes。

”Red with rage" describes anger；"in the pink" means to be in good health；”feeling blue” is a sad way to feel; and "green with envy” indicates a jealous attitude。

In conclusion，the study of color can help us to understand
ourselves and to improve our lives。

It offers an alternative way to heal the body and spirit，and it can help us understand what others
are trying to communicate.
