Reading Comprehension (50%)124Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is125followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them126there are four choices marked A, B, C and D .You should decide on the127best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet witha single line through the centre.128129Passage One130Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive andmove.131132（81）From earliest times, people have always been fascinated by 133movement, but not until this century have we managed to capture movement，134to record it, and in the case of animation，to reinterpret it and recreate 135it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector.136In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters you create do exactly what you want them.137138A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat139Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was amarvelous cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do 140141like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back.Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the 142143home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon144characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailorman and his girl145friend Olive Oyl were born at the Max Fleischer studios in 1933．146But to be an animator, you don’t have to be a professional. It is147possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a cameraat all. All you have to do is draw directly on to blank film and then 148149run the film through a projector.15041. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Animal world.B. Movie camera.C. Cartoon 151152making. D. Movement.15342. Which of the following statements is TRUE?154A. People were unable to cause the movement to last or record it155in the last century.156B. Pat Sullivan was a famous early cartoon character.157C. It is impossible to make cartoon characters do what they are158designed to do.159D. In ancient times people were surprised by movement.16043. According to the passage, Felix the Cat ________.A. was created by the American cartoonist Felix161162B. was designed by Pat Sullivan in the early twentieth centuryC. was unable to do what natural cats could not do163164D. was created in the United States in the nineteenth century 16544. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. Walt Disney’s cartoon characters were born earlier than Pat 166167Sullivan’s168B. only professionals can create cartoon characters169C. Popeye the Sailorman and Olive Oyo were famous cartoonists 170D. the cartoon industry started in the United States17145. Which of the following statements best describes the 172author’s attitude towards cartoon making?173A. Cartoon making is an easy job. Anyone can do it.174B. Only trained people can be employed in cartoon making industry. 175C. Anyone can make cartoons under the instructions of 176professionals.177D. Cartoon making is no easy job. You have to spend much timedrawing onto empty film.178179180Passage Two181Television was not invented by any one person. Nor did it spring 182into being overnight. It evolved gradually, over a long period, from theideas of many people —each one building on the work of their predecessors. 183184The process began in 1873, when it was accidentally discovered that the185electrical resistance of the element selenium（硒）varied in proportion186to the intensity of the light shining on it.（82）Scientists quickly187recognized that this provided a way of transforming light variations into188electrical signals. Almost immediately a number of schemes were proposedfor sending pictures by wire（it was, of course，before radio).189190One of the earliest of these schemes was patterned on the human eye.191Suggested by G. R. Carey in 1875, it envisioned a mosaic of selenium cellson which the picture to be transmitted would be focused by a lens system. 192193At the receiving end there would be a similarly arranged mosaic made up194of electric lights. Each selenium cell would be connected by an individual195wire to the similarly placed light in the receiving mosaic. Light falling196on the selenium cell would reproduce the original picture. Had the197necessary amplifiers（放大器、扩音器）and the right kind of lights beenavailable, this system would have worked. But it also would have required 198199an impractical number of connecting wires. Carey recognized this and200proposed to “scan”the cells —transmitting the signal from each cell201to its associated light, in turn, over a single wire. If this were done202fast enough, the retentive power of the eye would cause the resultant203（合成的）image to be seen as a complete picture.20446. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?205A. Television in the Electronic Era206B. First Steps in the Invention of TelevisionC. The Art of Television207208D. Harmful Effects of Television Viewing20947. In Paragraph 1，the word “being” could best be replaced by________.210211A. placeB. creatureC. subsistenceD. existence21248. An important discovery in early television was the electrical 213resistance of ________.214A. mosaicsB. the human eyeC. lensesD. the element selenium 21549. In 1875, Carey suggested that the human eye envisioned a mosaic 216of selenium cells on which the picture to be transmitted would be 217focused by ________.218A. wireB. electric lightsC. a lens systemD. amplifiers 21950. Following are the reasons why the first scheme for television 220was abandoned EXCEPT ________.221A. he lacks an effective assistantB. the necessary amplifiers were unavailable222223C. the proper lights were unavailable224D. the number of connecting wires is impractical225226Passage ThreeThe greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. 227228During the twentieth century there was a remarkable shortening of the229proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A womanmarrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been 230231in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children,232of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.（83）By the233time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early234fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which235custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work.236Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s237youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five years and is likely238to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care239of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and240convenience foods．241This important change in women's life pattern has only recently begun242to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years243ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them244took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left workat once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, 245246many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marryyounger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before 247248their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full-time249or part-time work.（84）Such changes have led to a new relationship in250marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and251satisfactions of family life and with both husband and wife sharing more252equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to theabilities and interests of each of them.25325451. For women at the beginning of the twentieth century, the amount 255of time spent taking care of children ________.A. was shorter than in previous centuries256257B. was longer than in previous centuries258C. was considered to be surprisingly long259D. account for a great part of their lives26052. According to the passage, around the year 1900 most women married 261________.A. at about twenty-five262263B. in their early fifties264C. as soon as possible after they were fifteenD. at any age from fifteen to forty-five26526653. When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth-century mother 267________.268A. would be healthy enough to take up paid employment269B. was usually expected to die fairly soon270C. would expect to work until she diedD. was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one27127254. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she 273________.A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after 274275themselvesB. does not like children herself276277C. need not worry about food for her children278D. can retire from family responsibilities when she reaches sixty55. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to 279280________.281A. stay at home after leaving school282B. marry men younger than themselves283C. start working again later in life284D. marry while still at school285286Passage Four287Icebergs ar e among nature’s most spectacular creations, and yet most288people have never seen one. A vague air of mystery envelops them. Theycome into being—somewhere—in faraway, frigid waters, amid thunderous 289290noise and splashing turbulence, which in most cases no one hears or sees.291They exist only a short time and then slowly waste away just as unnoticed. 292Objects of sheerest beauty, they have been called. Appearing in an293endless variety of shapes, they may be dazzlingly white, or they may be294glassy blue, green, or purple, tinted faintly or in darker hues. Theyare graceful, stately, inspiring in calm, sunlit seas.295296But they are also called frightening and dangerous, and they are in297the night, in the fog, and in storms. Even in clear weather one is wiseto stay at a safe distance away from them. Most of their bulk is hidden 298299below the visible top. Also, they may roll over unexpectedly, churning300the waters around them.301Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off, drift into the water, 302float about a while, and finally melt. Icebergs afloat today are made 303of snowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time. They embody snows 304that drifted down hundreds, or many thousands, or in some cases maybe 305a million years ago. The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains, 306where they melted only a little or not at all, and so collected to great 307depths over the years and centuries．As each year’s snow accumulation lay on the surface, evaporation 308309and melting caused the snowflakes slowly fell on the top of the old, it 310too turned to icy grains. So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer 311upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper 312layers compressed the lower ones. (85) With time and pressure from above, 313the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals, and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.31431556. The author states that icebergs are rarely seen because they are 316________.A. broken by waves soon after they are found317318B. hidden beneath the mountains319C. located in remote regions of the worldD. enveloped in mystery32032157. The word “dazzlingly” (Para. 2) probably means ________.A. brilliantlyB. faintlyC. beautifullyD. sickly32232358. According to the passage, icebergs are dangerous because they-324________.A. usually melt quickly325326B. can turn over suddenly327C. may create immense snowdrifts328D. can cause unexpected avalanches32959. The expression “from above” (Para. 5）refers to ________. 330A. sunlit seasB. polar regionsC. weight of mountainsD. 331layers of ice and snow33260. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?333A. The Nature and Origin of Icebergs334B. The Size and Shape of Icebergs335C. The Danger of Icebergs336D. The Melting of Icebergs337338III.

In one of the wards a patient, an old man, got up 398shakily from his bed and moved towards me. I could see that he hadn’t 399long to 61 , but he came up to me and placed his right foot close 400to mine on the floor.401“Frank！” I cried in astonishment. He couldn’t 62 , as 402I knew, but he tried to smile, all the time 63 his foot against 403mine.404My 64 raced back more than thirty years—to the 65 days of 1941, when I was a student in London. 405406The 66 was an air-raid shelter, in which I and about a hundred other 407people slept every night. Two of the regulars were Mrs. West and her son 408Frank.40967 wartime problems, we shelter-dwellers got 410to 68 each other very well. Frank West 69 me because he wasn’t 70 , not even at birth. His mother told me he was 37 then, 411412but he had 71 of a mind than a baby has. His “ 72 ” consisted of simple sounds—sounds of pleasure or anger—and 73 more. Mrs. 413414West, then about 75, was a strong, capable woman, as she had to be, of 415course, because Frank 74 on her entirely. He needed all 416the 75 of a baby.417One night a policeman came and told Mrs. West that her house had 418been flattened by a 500-pounder. She 76 nearly everything she 419owned.420When that sort of thing happened, the rest of us helped 421the 77 ones. So before we 78 that morning, I stood beside 422Frank and 79 my right foot against his. They were about the same 423size. That night, then, I took a pair of shoes to the shelter for Frank. 424But as soon as he saw me he came running and placed his right foot against425mine. After that, his 80 to me was always the same.42661．A．work B．stay C．live D．expect42762．A．answer B．speak C．smile D．laugh42863．A．covering B．moving C．fighting D．pressing64．A．minds B．ideas C．thoughts D．brains42943065．A．better B．dark C．younger D．old 43166．A．cave B．place C．sight432D．scene43367．A．Discussing B．Solving 434C．Sharing D．Suffering43568．A．learn from B．talk to 436C．help D．know43769．A．needed B．recognized C．interested438D．encouraged43970．A．normal B．common C．unusual440D．quick44171．A．more B．worse C．fewer 442D．less44372．A．word B．speech 444C．sentence D．language44573．A．not B．no C．something446D．not any44774．A．fed B．kept C．lived448D．depended44975．A．attention B．control 450C．treatment D．management76．A．lost B．needed 451452C．destroyed D．left45377．A．troublesome B．unlucky C．angry 454D．unpopular45578．A．separated B．went 456C．reunited D．returned45779．A．pushed B．tried C．showed458D．measured80．A．nodding B．greeting 459460C．meeting D．acting461462试卷二463IV.
