geography means

cultural geography. The former focuses on the

neglect the
other.
A geographer
might be described 40 one who observes,

Section Ⅲ Reading
Comprehension (40 minutes)
Part A
Directions:
Read the following
three texts. Answer the questions on
each text
by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark four answers on the
ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line
across the corresponding
letter in the
brackets.
Text I
No one
knows exactly how many disabled (残废的) people
there are in the world, but estimates suggest
the figure is
over 450 million. The number of
disabled people in India
alone is probably
more than double the total population of
Canada.
In the United Kingdom,
about one in ten people have some
disability.
Disability is not just something that happens to
other people. As we get older, many of us will
become less
mobile ( 可动的) , hard of hearing or
have failing eyesight.
Disablement can
take many forms and occur at any time of
life.
Some people are born with disabilities. Many
others
become disabled as they get older.
There are many progressive
disabling diseases.
The longer time goes on, the worse they
become. Some people are disabled in accidents.
Many others
may have a period of disability in
the form of a mental
illness. All are affected
by people ' s attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next
time
you go shopping or to work or visit
friends, imagine how you would manage if
you could not
get up steps, or on to buses and
trains. How would you cope
if you could not
see where you were going or could not hear
the
traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice
can be
even harder to break down and ignorance
inevitably represents
by far the greatest
barrier of all. It is almost impossible
for
the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the
severely
disabled go through, so it is
important to draw attention to
these barriers
and show that it is the individual person and
their ability, not their disability, which
counts.
46. The first paragraph points
out that _________.
{ A J it is
possible to get an exact figure of the world
'
s disabled people
[ B ] there are many
disabled people in the world
[ C ] the
number of disabled people in India is the
greatest
[ D ] India has not much
more disabled people than
Canada
47. The key word in Paragraph 4 is _________.
[ A ] barriers [ B ] ignorance
[C] disability [D] prejudice
48. The
last word of the passage
means _________.
[A]
[C]
49. Which
of the following statements is NOT true
according to the passage?
[A] There
are about 10 percent disabled persons in the
UK.
[ B ] The whole society should
pay due attention to the
barriers faced by the
disabled people.
[ C ] Even the
able-bodied may lose some of their body
functions when they get older.
[D]
There still exists prejudice against the disabled
which results mainly from ignorance.
50. It can be concluded from the passage that
_____ __.
[A] we should try our best to
prevent disablement
[ B] we must take a
proper attitude towards the disabled
[C] the able-bodied people will never fully
understand
the disabled
[D] both
physical and mental barriers are hard to break
down
Text 2
A small
piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor
away. That' s the finding of an extensive
study of Dutch men
in which deaths from heart
disease were more than 50 percent
lower among
those who consumed at least an ounce of salt
water fish per day than those who never ate
fish.
The Dutch research is one of
three human studies that
give strong
scientific backing to the longheld belief that
eating fish can provide health benefits,
particularly to the
heart.
Heart
disease is the nuinber-one killer in the United
States, with more than 550,000 deaths oc-
curring from heart
attacks each year. But
researchers previously have noticed
that the
incidence ( 发生率) of heart disease is lower in
cultures that consume more fish than Americans
do. There are
fewer heart disease
deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of
Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish
a day, and
among the Japanese, whose daily
fish consumption averages
more than 3
ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study
followed 852 middle-aged
men, 20 percent of
whom ate no fish.
At the start of the
study, the average fish consumption
was about
two-thirds of an ounce each day with more men
eating lean (瘦的) fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men
died from
heart disease. The fewest deaths
were among the group who
regularly ate fish,
even at levels far lower than those of
the
Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true
regardless of other factors such as age, high
blood pressure,
or blood cholesterol ( 胆固醇)
levels.
51. Which of the following is
NOT true according to the
passage?
[A] The Dutch research has proved that eating fish
can
help to prevent heart disease.
[ B] Heart doctors won't call your house so long
as you
keep eating fish each day.
[C] Among all the diseases heart disease is the
most
dangerous in America.
[D]
There is a low incidence of heart disease in such
countries as Japan and Greenland.
52. The phrase
refers to the
connection between
_________ and the
incidence of heart disease.
[A] the
amount offish eaten [B] regular fish-eating
[ C ] the kind of fish eaten [ D ] people
of different
regions
53. The
passage is mainly about _________.
[ A
] the high incidence of heart disease in some
countries
[ B ] the effect of fish
eating on people ' s health
[ C] the
changes in people' s diet
[D] the daily
fish consumption of people in different
cultures
54. Why is heart disease
the most dangerous killer in
the United
States?
[A] Because American people
drink too much spirits.
[B] Because
there are a great number of fat people there.
[ C ] The author does n ' t give a definite
answer.
[D] Because American people eat
too much fatty fish.
55. How many lives
could probably be saved each year in
the
United States by eating fifth according to the
Dutch
study?
[A] 550,000. [B]
275,000.
LC] 110,000. [D]
852.
Text 3
Being assertive
( 过度自信) is being able to communicate
with
other people clearly. If you felt that you had
expressed
what was important to you and
allowed the oilier person to
respond in their
own way then, regardless of the final
outcome,
you behaved assertively. It is important to
remember
that being assertive refers to a way
of coping with
confrontations ( 对抗)。 It does
not mean getting your own
way every time or
winning some battle of wits against another
person. In practice assertive behaviour is
usually most
likely to produce a result which
is generally acceptable to
all concerned,
without anyone feeling that they have been
unfairly treated.
Assertiveness is
often wrongly confused with aggression
(侵犯行为).
An aggressive confrontation is when one or both
parties attempt to put forward their feelings
and beliefs at
the expense of others. In an
assertive confrontation, however,
each party
stands up for their personal rights, but each
shows respect and understanding for the
other's viewpoint.
The reason why
assertiveness may not come naturally is
that
we often tend to believe that we must talk around
a
subject rather than be direct, or that we
must offer excuses
or justifications forour
actions.
In fact we all have a right to
use assertive behaviour
in a variety of
situations. We are often schooled early in
life to believe that sometimes our own need
to, express
ourselves must take secondary
place. For example, in dealing
with
those in privileged positions such as specialists,
we
often feel that speaking assertively is, in
some way,
rights, but often we feel guilty
about exercising them.
56. According to
the passage, an assertive person
________.
[ A ] makes other people feel unfairly
treated
[ B ] puts forward his ideas at
the expense of others
[C] does not show
respect to other people
[ D ] speaks
out what he wants to say forcefully
57.
Which of the following is NOT the reason that many
people prefer not to be assertive?
[A] They would rather be aggressive than be
assertive.
[B] It's often better to
give people hints than to be
straightforward.
[C] Their needs to
express themselves take secondary
place before
important persons.
[ D] They tend to
give excuses and justifications for
their
actions.
58. The last word of the
passage
_________.
[A] rules [B]
actions
[c] personal rights [D]
privileged positions
59.
According to the passage, one should not only
express himself clearly and directly, but
also
[ A ] make other people accept his
ideas
[ B ] be careful with his
manner
[ C] allow others to speak in
their own way
[D]watch other people's
response
60. In this passage, the
author intends to encourage
people to
_____.
