Part IV Reading Comprehension (20points)
Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
Two men on a touring holiday of Britain were injured by an explosion in their motor van in the center of Norwich yesterday.
Shoppers, traders and businessmen in Red Lion Street were shocked by a loud bang, and seconds later the two men jumped over from the vehicle, which had stopped outside Barclays Bank. Several people rushed to give assistance and helped to put out the fire inside the vehicle, a light American truck converted to provide living accommodation, before Norwich firemen arrived.
The men—American Mr. Gary House, aged 25, of Ohio, who was driving, and his passenger Mr. Charles Lynn, 23, of Vancouver—were taken to Norfolk and Norwich
Hospital with minor burns. They were allowed to leave after treatment.
“I heard this explosion. It was pretty loud. I thought it could have been a bomb.” Said Mr. Leslie Webster, manager of the market, who was working in his office in Red Lion Street. “I looked out of the window and saw this lad leap from the van and roll on the ground. Then another lad came out of the van. He seemed to be in a worse state —parts of his trousers were hanging below his knee.”
“I came downstairs to get a fire extinguisher, but by the time I got outside someone from the bank was in the van with an extinguisher.”
Mr. Webster, who lives at 71, Trinity Street, Norwich, said both victims were shocked. One was taken into the market office to wait an ambulance. “The second man insisted on going back into the van to see if everything was all right, and five minutes later he came out with a drawer that was blazing,” he added. The explosion was also heard inside the bank. Staff provided a fire extinguisher and telephoned for an ambulance.
Although a plastic window was blown out, damage inside the vehicle was mainly superficial.
The two men spent the last six months touring the Continent and had traveled to Norwich from Shetterton. At the time of the accident their wives were shopping in the city.

Passage 2
The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad. The fact the ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reasonable to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.
But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. “The thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,” Ms. Elshtain says.
Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so
many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.
In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the U.S. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that. Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.
The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent “golden age,” Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice.
“Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society”, she says. “Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can’t be bought.”
71. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans ________. [单选题] *
A. have adapted to a new set of moral standards
B. are longing for the return of the good old days
C. have realized the importance of material things
D. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards(正确答案)
72. The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by ________. [单选题] *
A. its growing wealth
B. the self-centeredness of individuals(正确答案)
C. underestimating the impact of social changes
D. the prejudice against women and minorities
73. Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities? [单选题] *
A. Great mobility
B. Concern for one’s neighbors(正确答案)
C. Emphasis on individual effort
D. Ever-weakening social bonds.
74. In the 1950s, classroom violence ________. [单选题] *
A. was something unheard of(正确答案)
B. was by no means a rare occurrence
C. attracted a lot of public attention
D. began to appear in analyst’s data
75. According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reversed ________. [单选题] *
A. if people can return to the “golden age”
B. when women and men enjoy equal rights
C. when people rid themselves of prejudice
D. if less emphasis is laid on material things(正确答案)
Passage 3
The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban（禁止）such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given
that many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio system in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud.
76. The passage is mainly about ________. [单选题] *
A. a new regulation for all airlines
B. the defects of electronic devices
C. a possible cause of aircraft crashes(正确答案)
D. effective safely measures for air flight
77. What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years? [单选题] *
A. they may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.
B. the may have taken place during take-off and landing
C. they were proved to have been caused by the passengers’ portable computers.
D. they were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.(正确答案)
78. Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because ________. [单选题] *
A. they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference
B. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved(正确答案)
C. most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players
D. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
79. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic fields on an airplane’s computers? [单选题] *
A. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplane.
B. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with
C. Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs.(正确答案)
D. Because experts lack adequate equipment to do such research.
80. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________. [单选题] *
A. is in favor of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic devices completely(正确答案)
B. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference
C. hasn’t formed his own opinion on this problem
D. regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight。
