II.Reading Comprehension
Passage 1
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn't defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other word, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to put it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.
61.The author ________.
A.orders you to analyze defeat
B.wants you to face defeat
C.advises you to let a baby grasp a rod
D.warns you not to confuse defeat with failure
62.Defeat is valuable ________.
A.because it is a factor
B.because it isn't defeat that makes you fail
C.because it provides the guide and encouragement to success
D.because it is not a thing to be ashamed of
63.What does the author know?
A.He knows every success in life.
B.He knows the factor making for success.
C.He knows every man who is able to analyze defeat.
D.He knows the life of every man.
64.The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely ________.
A.to be a successor
B.to face it with feeling ashamed
C.to achieve success
D.to be ashamed of it
65.What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives? One should
________.
A.explore it
B.explain it
C.let a baby grasp a rod
D.learn it
Passage 2
Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who live in them. Persons living in cities are obliged by their environment to take a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are difficult to obtain, and there are highly valued. Tall buildings hide the sun completely. Traffic pollutes the atmosphere. Even the distinction between day and night is lost.
66.What are highly valued in big cities?
A.Sunshine and fresh air.
B.Living conditions.
C.Pavements in autumn.
D.Air-conditioned houses.
67.Which is not one of the reasons why city life is not more desirable?

C.Living in large modern cities has so many disadvantages.
D.All the simple, good things of life are imposed on the people who live in large cities. Passage 3
We don't have beds in the space shuttle, but we do have sleeping bags. During the day, when we are working, we leave the bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we unite them and take them wherever we've chosen to sleep.
On most space shuttle flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spaceplane; the shuttle's computers and the engineers call us on the radio.
On the space shuttle, sleep-time doesn't mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit the sun "rises" and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes; then it "sets" as our path takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks.
It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut sleeps differently. Some sleep upside down, some right side up. When it's time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask, and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight deck. Then I crawl into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by beneath me.
71.When it's bedtime, astronauts put their sleeping bags ________.
A.near the windows
B.in the flight deck
C.above the seats

to ________.
A.wear a sleep mask

C.sleep upside down
D.sleep sideways

Passage 4
"We're more than halfway now; it's only two miles farther to the tavern (小旅馆)," said the driver.
"I'm glad of that," answered the stranger. He meant to say more but the east wind blew clear down a man's throat if he tried to speak. The girl's voice was something quite charming, however, and presently he spoke again.
"You don't feel the cold so much at twenty below zero out in the Western country. There's none of this damp chill (湿冷)," he said, and then it seemed as if he had blamed the uncomplaining young driver. She had not even said that it was a disagreeable day, and he began to be conscious of a warm hopefulness of spirit.
"You'll have cold drive going back!" he said anxiously, and put up his hand for the twentieth time to see if his coat-collar was as close to the back of his neck as possible. He had wished a dozen times for the warm old hunting rig (服装) in which he had many a day confronted (遇到) the worst of weather in the Northwest.
"I shall not have to go back!" exclaimed the girl, with eager pleasantness. "I'm on my way home now. I drive over early just to meet you at the train; we had word that someone was coming to the tavern."
76.How far was the drive from the train to the tavern?
A.One mile.

C.warmer than in the East
D.temperate

A.had to return to the train station after leaving the stranger at the tavern
B.was going home after leaving the stranger at the tavern
C.lived at the tavern
D.was going away on the train
Passage 5
Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played 'long, long ago'. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name 'chess' is interesting. When one player is attacking the other's king, he says, in English, 'check'. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere, he says 'check mate'. These words come from Persian. 'Shah mat 'means 'the king is dead'. That is when the game is over, and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess takes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You don't have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Americans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.
81.Which of the following is known to be True?
A.Chess is an old Indian traveling game.
B.Chess is the oldest game in the world.
C.Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400.
D.Chess was played in India long before 900.
82.One player has won the game when ________.
A.he attacks the other player's king
B.he says some Persian words
C.the other player's king can not move anywhere
D.he says 'check' to the other player
83.Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?
A.'Shah mat'.
B.'Check'.
C.'The king is dead'.
D.'Check mate'.
84.Which of the following is NOT Correct?
A.All kinds of people can play chess.
B.Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.
C.Some people write to each other while playing chess.
D.The Russian lost the game played by radio.
85.According to the old rules of the game ________.
A.the queen was the strongest piece on the board
B.the king had to be attacked all the time
C.the queen could move no more than one square at a time
D.the king could not move anywhere
Passage 6
In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. W omen are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called …the weaker sex‟, or, if men want to please them, …the fair sex‟. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women‟s bodies really weaker?
The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women‟s times are always slower than men‟s, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first …Tarzan‟ in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are giving hormone (苛尔蒙) injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!
86.Women are called …the weaker sex‟ because ________.
A.women do as much work as men
B.people think women are weaker than men
C.sport is easier for men than for women
D.in sport the two sexes are always together
87.Which of the following is True?
A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere .
B.Women do not run or swim in races with men.

D.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.
88.“That at least is what people say.” means people ________.
A.say other things too
B.don‟t say this much
C.say this but may not think so
D.only think this
89.What problems does sport have?
A.Some women athletes are actually men.
B.Some women athletes are given hormone injections.
C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.
D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.

C.men are not always stronger and faster than women
D.men are faster and stronger than women
Passage 7
Thousands of years before Columbus came to the new world, the American Indians entered North America by crossing a narrow strip of land that once connected Alaska and Siberia. The migrants entered a new world in which there were no people at all. But there were many animals to hunt, and there were forests where nuts, roots, and berries could be gathered.
When the Europeans came to the New World, the Indians, at first, taught the settlers how to plant corn, bake fish, make canoes, and smoke tobacco. In return, the whites introduced horses, guns, gun-powder, and alcohol. But at last, there were struggles for land, and the struggles could have only one result ---- war. When the wars were over, all Indians were moved to large tracts of land called reservations. Now, some of them, embittered (激怒) by past mistreatment, are determined to preserve their tribal life; some wish to modernize the reservations. These alternatives, with many variations, are what most Indians have chosen ---- a future in modern technology and education, or the revival (复兴) of ancient tradition and treaties.

Passage 8
Astronomers（天文学家）can tell just how hot the surface of the moon gets. The side of the moon toward the sun gets two degrees hotter than boiling water. The night side reaches 243 degrees below zero.
In an eclipse（月蚀）, the earth‟s shadow falls on the moon. Why does it ha ppen on the moon? Astronomers think that the surface of the moon is dust. On the earth, rocks store heat from the sun. When the sun goes down, the rocks stay warm. But the dust of the moon cannot store heat. So when the moon gets dark, the heat escapes quickly. The moon gets very cold.
