Reading Comprehension 阅读理解(40 marks)Directions: There are four 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.Passage 1Once a rich man was giving a great dinner. He had got every kind of food that he required except fish,which happened to be hard to get, for the weather had been too stormy for fisherman to go out to seas.On the very morning of the dinner, however, a fisherman appeared at the rich man’s house with a fine turbot (比目鱼) for sale. The fish was gladly accepted, and the fisherman was asked to name his price.“One hundred lashes (鞭子), sir, and nothing less,” was the strange answer. “And these lashes must be laid on my bare back.”As the fisherman could not be persuaded to take money instead of whipping, the lashes were laid. After he had received fifty lashes out of the hundred, he cried out, “Stop! I have had my share. I have a partner in this business, and it is right that the remaining fifty should be given to him.”“What!” said the rich man. “Is there another such madman in the world? Call him in, and let us see him.”“You need not go far, sir, ” said the fisherman. “He is your own porter. He would not let me pass until I promised that he should have half of the price to be paid for my fish.”“Call him in,” said the rich man angrily. “He shall have his fifty lashes.”The fifty lashes given, the porter was dismissed and the fisherman was paid for his fish.11. The rich man was hard to get fish because _______.A. he did not really need any fishB. of the bad weather the fishermen couldn’t go out to seasC. the fishermen did not want to give fish to himD. the fish were in deep seas12.

Why did the fisherman ask for 100 lashes for his fish?A. Because he did not need any money.B. Because he was foolish and mad.C. Because he wanted to whip the porter himself.D.

For centuries it kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.Many wrong ideas about the Atlantic made early sailors unwilling to sail far out into it. One idea was that it reached out to “the edge of the world”. Sailors were afraid that they might sail right off the earth. Another idea was that at the equator the ocean would be boiling hot.The Atlantic Ocean is only half as big as the Pacific, but it is still very large. It is more than 4,000 miles (6,400 km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest spot it is about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) wide. This narrowest place is between South America and Africa.Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean.There is so much water in the Atlantic that it is hard to imagine how much there is. But suppose no more rain fell into it and no more water was brought to it by rivers, it would take the ocean about 4,000 years to dry up. On the average the water is a little more than two miles (3.2 km) deep, but in places it is much deeper. The deepest spot is near Puerto Rico (波多黎各). This “deep” measures 30,246 feet ——almost six miles (9.6 km).16. In the first sentence “the New” refers to _______.A. AsiaB. AfricaC. AmericaD. Australia17. Why were the early sailors unwilling to sail far out into the Atlantic?A. Because they thought they would reach out to “the edge of the world”.B. Because they thought it was too large and deep.C. Because they thought it would be too hot at the equator.D. Both A and C.18. Which statement is true?A. The Atlantic Ocean has more salt than water in it.B. The water of the Atlantic Ocean is saltier than that of any other places in the world.C. The water of the Atlantic Ocean is saltier than that of the Pacific Ocean.D. There is less salt in the Pacific Ocean than in any other places of the world.19. Point out the correct statement.A. The Atlantic has more water.B. The Atlantic has more islands.C. The Atlantic is smaller but saltier.D. The Atlantic is smaller but deeper.20. The best title for the passage is _______.A. The Water of the AtlanticB. The Atlantic OceanC. The Saltiest Ocean in the WorldD. The Atlantic ——a Lovely OceanPassage 3In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “Coral Islands”.A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with trees, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived. These sea animals make the coral.They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher. At last it grew out of the water.Then the sea brought water to small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.So you see, these islands were built little by little. The workers we re very small. Don’t they teach us a lesson? Can you think out what the lesson is?21. In the sea _______.A. there are coral islands in all placesB. the water is always warmC. there are some coral islandsD. we can see many flowers22. A coral island looks like _______.A. a round cakeB. trees, grass and flowersC. a round lakeD. a ring of land23. There are in the holes in corals.A. sea animalsB. little coralsC. grassD. followers24. How did seeds of trees, grass and flowers come to the coral islands?A. Only the wind brought them thereB. The wind and birds brought them to the coral islandsC. People brought them thereD. Fishes brought them there25. From the story we learn that _______.A. small workers can’s do big thingsB. only big workers can do big thingsC. all small things can do big things.D. small workers can do big things if they work hard and work a long timePassage 4There was a time when wearing jeans would catch eyes, but now when walking in the streets, you expect to meet people in most colorful and daring clothes from T-shirts to blue jeans.Twenty years ago China was referred to “as a clothing desert” in the foreign press, bu t when Pierre Cardin, the famous French King of Clothing, came to Beijing in 1991, he was reported to be so “surprised and happy” to see Cardin’s clothing in Beijing’s shopping windows that he decided to have a series of Cardin’s women’s clothing stores opened in China within the next five years.The quick changes in clothing, in fact, surprised the Chinese people themselves, too. A young girl from the countryside says she just “can’t believe” that she can be in such smart clothes. But when the time has rea lly come, the Chinese people, men and women, old and young, are not shy of dressing themselves up.Today in China, clothing is believe to be something not only protecting people from the cold but showing their living conditions and their sense of beauty as well.26. At present it is _______ for the Chinese to wear most colorful and daring clothes.A. commonB. strangeC. rareD. unusual27. China was once referred to as “a clothing desert” because the Chinese _______.A. were short of sense of beautyB. did not have enough money to get enough clothesC. were all wearing the same simple clothing which wasn’t pleasant to look atD. used to wear clothes which were the same color as the desert28. To Cardin’s surprise and joy, he saw _______ in Beijing’s shopping windows.A. his own clothingB. clothing designed by himselfC. clothing made by himselfD. clothing he had bought a few days before29. The quick changes in clothing have surprised _______.A. The Chinese themselvesB. The whole worldC. Pierre CardinD. All the foreigners30. The Chinese are caring more about clothing than ever because _______.A. clothing protects them from the coldB. clothing shows their living conditionsC. clothing shows their sense of beautyD. their life has greatly improvedPassage 5Butterflies are common all over the world but the ones in hot countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in cooler countries, and there are more different kinds. Usually the male butterfly is more brightly colored than the female. The females have bigger and heavier bodies, since they carry the eggs. The gay colors of the male help to attract the female and the duller (暗淡的) colors of the female make them less likely to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.Some butterflies have a bright pattern of colors on the upper surface of their wings which show when they fly, but when they rest on a tree or leaf, they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown markings which look like the tree or leaves. They are then difficult to see. The best example of this is the Dead Leaf Butterfly. When its wings are closed, it looks exactly like a dead leaf. There are even marks that look like the holes in a dead leaf. When a bird is chasing a butterfly, and it closes its wings, it seems to have disappeared completely.Many butterflies have round marks on their wings that look like eyes. When they are resting, and their wings are folded, these cannot be seen. When a bird sees one, and begins to attack it, the butterfly opens its wings. The bird thinks that it sees two eyes staring at it, and frightened, it flies away.31. Which of the following is likely to be the most brightly colored?A. A male in a hot countryB. B. A male in a cool countryC. A female in a hot countryD. A Dead Leaf Butterfly with its wings closed32. Female butterflies are safer from enemies because they ____.A. are heavierB. are biggerC. C.cannot be seen with their wings closedD. have colors that ate not so bright33. Which of these sentences is not true?A. There are not so many kinds of butterflies in cool countries.B. Sometimes birds are frightened by butterflies.C. Male butterflies usually weigh less than females.D. Birds are enemies of butterflies.34. What is the purpose of the gay colors of a male butterfly?A. To protect the female.B. To bring females to it.C. To frighten birds away.D. To make it more difficult to see.35. Which sentence is true?A. The male butterfly is always brighter than the female.B. All butterflies are difficult to see when resting.C. The Dead Leaf Butterfly has holes in its wings.D. When a bird is about to catch a butterfly, the bird closes ite wings.Passage6The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English “You speak very good English”. But the student answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite surprised at the answ er. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak English very well.” But the Chinese student still kept saying “No.” In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. W hat’s wrong with the student’s answer? It is because he did not accept a compliment as the English people do. He should have said “Thank you” instead of “No”. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said “Thank you”, that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say “Thank you”. If someone says to a woman “You look so beautiful with the new clothes on”, she should be very happy and answer “Thank you.” In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say “No, I am afraid I cannot do it well”, then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say “no”, you will certainly be looked down upon by others. If asking for a job, one says something like “Let me have a try on the job” instead of “Yes, I can certainly do it”, he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.36.The foreigner was surprised at the Chinese student’s answer. Why?A. Because he did not catch what the student had said.B. Because he disliked saying “No.”C. Because he could not hear clearly what the student had said.D. Because it is the different way to accept a compliment between China and the western countries.37.The foreigner _______ as the student kept saying “No”.A. A.was puzzled with the answerB. B.because upsetC. C.could not continue the conversation with himD. D.lost confidence38.According to the western culture, if one is given a compliment, he or she should say:A. Not at all.B. Excuse me.C. Pardon.D. Thank you.39.While asking for a job, the westerner often says “I can certainly do it.” Why?A. Because he is proud.B. Because he gives an impression that he is just the man for the job.C. Because he can do nothing but speak that way.D. Because he wants to have a try on the job.40.“The foreigner was at a loss what to say. ” means “The foreigner ________.”A. did not know what to sayB. lost ability to sayC. did not want to sayD. had no patience to sayPassage 7There was a pilot and four people in a small plane. Suddenly there was something wrong with the machine while it was flying in the air. The smoke was everywhere in the plane. The pilot told the people there were only four parachutes. They all became worried and started to make excuses.“I must go and mend the machine,” said the pilot, taking one of the parachutes. There was nothing he could do so he jumped out.The first person stood up. “I’m a doctor”, he said. “1 help people live longer and I save lives.” He also took a parachute and jumped out.The second person stood up. “I mush have a parachute. I’m a very clever person. I have to attend an important sports match. I know I’ll win the game because I’ll be the cleverest person there.” He picked up a pack and jumped out.Two men were left ——an old businessman and a young mountain climber. By this time the plane was going down fast. The businessman said, “Young man, I’m old but you’re still young. You take the last parachute.” The young mountain climber smiled. “Don’t worry,” he said, “we can both jump to safety because there are still two parachutes. Just now the clever person jumped out with my back pack.”41.

When they reached the foot of the first hill, Jack and his friend Sue were tired out.They lay there, perhaps for ten minutes, perhaps for ten hours. At last Jack sat up and looked at the hills. They were rocks, with only a few small trees. But about half-way up the nearest hill he could see some taller trees, growing closer together.“If there is water, it must be up there,” Jack thought. He turned to Sue.“Sure, Sue! I’m going up to find the water hole. You wait here. It won’t be long.”Sue looked at him, but she did not seem to heart his words.Jack was worried.
