Test Three (A) I Reading Comprehension
Passage One
The man who, legend has it, escaped from an early grave when his uncle pulled him from drowning in a dirty pond is notorious for his dirty deeds but that what cannot be forgotten are
his achievements in the 1986 World Cup.
Forget the handball against England, feel the quality of his 50-yard solo goal in the same game and the near repeat performance in the semi-final against Belgium. The Argentina side
of the 1986 was functional and hard-working but it was Maradona who fired them to the final
and then set up two of the goals in their 3-2 win over West Germany in the final.
In 1990, a barely-fit Maradona fought his way to the final where the Germans took their revenge. Few people shared Diego’s pos t-match tears. In fact many rejoiced that such an ugly brute of a team had lost.
Eight years before, in Spain, Maradona , then newly arrived at Barcelona, disgraced himself by being sent off in a Second Phase game with Brazil. Even four years before that
the 18-year-old Maradona was a source of great controversy when he was left out of the victorious squad that won on home ground.
USA 1994 was the end for Maradona as a player. Right after the Nigeria game, he was picked for drugs-screening and tested positive for banned stimulant ephedrine (麻黄硷). He was banned from the rest of the tournament and the team fell apart, going out in the second round to Romania.

Passage Two
Many companies have run into serious troubles trying to coordinate their sales and promotional efforts. For example, one firm authorized a large promotional drive to introduce
a new product in Latin America. The promotion ran smoothly, but someone forgot to coordinate product delivery — ship the product. Consumers were confused and money was wasted when the promoted product was not available.
To avoid such occurrences, all plans should be in writing and someone should be responsible for central coordination. Hence, risks are lessened and opportunities to save money may arise. Coca-cola, for instance, requires that all overseas marketing plans be
submitted to the central office well in advance. This gives the company a chance to examine the concepts. Previous experiences with similar plans can be viewed and necessary changes can be suggested. Sometimes central company managers’ ventures have failed in the past. Minor improvements tried overseas with success should also be reported. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Coordination not only reduces the chance of errors, it also provides opportunities to learn improved methods.
With so many details to consider, it is rather easy to understand how so many firms have blundered. Nevertheless, their errors illustrate the importance of paying attention to detail.
26. In the example in the first paragraph, the firm failed because __________.
A) its home office didn’t back them up

A) all overseas firms follow the orders by the central office
B) all overseas firms turn in plans to the central office before carrying out them

D) all failures be recorded in the files in the central office
28. According to the passage, coordination involves __________.
A) preventing the company from committing the same error
B) passing on orders from the central office
C) training personnel from the overseas firms
D) helping overseas firms make overseas firms
29. In the passage, coordination can be compared to __________.
A) a bridge between the central office and overseas firms
B) a passage through which the orders by the central office can reach its overseas firms
C) a trial-and-error lab to avoid similar errors
D) a file recording all cases in the history of the company
30. “Blundered” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “__________”.
A) been done withB) gone bankruptC) made successD) done wrong

Passage Four
Sir Isaac Newton noted in 1672 that a beam of sunlight passed through a prism and allowed to fall on a white surface becomes a “rainbow” of varying colors: red at one end, ranging through orange, yellow, green, and blue, to violet at the other. This colored strip of pure light is called a spectrum, the Latin word meaning “apparition”.
Sunlight consists of a mixture of light of varying wavelengths that affect our eyes differently, so that we see the components of sunlight as colors. When a beam of light passes into glass at an acute angle, it is bent, or refracted, and if the glass is a triangular prism, the wavelengths are refracted farther in the same direction, and the spectrum appears. Light that appears red is refracted the least; that which appears violet is refracted the most.
Scientists have found that particular substances, when heated to a white heat, give off only certain colors; when the light from this heated substance is passed through a slit, each color in the light will form an image of the slit at a certain predictable position in the spectrum, leaving the rest of the band black: sunlight’s passing through a cool gas will have certain of its colors absorbed ― dark images of the slit will then appear against the colored background.
By using a spectroscope, an instrument through which one can view a spectrum against a marked scale so that the position of each color line can be located exactly, scientists have 1earned about the composition of the sun and the stars.
