Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage
1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following
passage:
For 20 months the wrecked Costa
Concordia has been lying on its side near the
coast of
Giglio, a small Italian island. But
on Tuesday, as part of the largest salvage ( 打捞 )
operation
ever conducted, the large ship was
finally moved to the upright position. The next
step is for the
vessel to be removed from the
area entirely.
The Costa Concordia is
twice the weight of the Titanic. The ship itself
didn ' t budge (稍微
移动) for the first three
hours of the operation, Sergio Girotto told
reporters. He and other
engineers worked for
19 hours before Concordia was declared completely
upright.
The Costa Concordia capsized on
January 13, 2012, after its captain, Francesco
Schettino,
brought the ship too close to the
shore. The ship hit coastal rocks, which caused
serious damage
and allowed water to pour in.
(76) Most of the 4200 people on board made it to
land safely, but
more than 30 people were
killed in the disaster. Two people remain missing.
The Concordia 's
captain is currently on trial
for causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.
The operation to right the ship is called
parbuckling. While parbuckling is a standard
operation to right capsized ships, it has
never before been used on such a large ship. (77)
Workers
had been waiting for favorable weather
condition to undertake the operation. On Monday,
authorities gave the final go-ahead.
The process was expected to take no more
than 12 hours. But problems with the large system
of steel chains caused delays. Engineers
worked through the night using cables and metal
water
tanks to roll the ship onto special
platforms.
The Concordia is expected to be
pulled away from Giglio in the spring of 2014 and
turned
into scrap metal (废金属). The ship's
owner, Costa Cruises, will pay for the recovery,
which has
already cost more than $$800 million.
1. Which of the following is the best title
for the passage?
A. Ship Safety Management
B. Shipwrecks: an Environmental Threat
C.
The Costa Concordia Disaster D. The Costa
Concordia Salvage

A. drug use B. alcohol
abuse C. abandoning his post D. setting fire
4. According to the passage, which of the
following statements is TRUE?
A. The Costa
Concordia is three times the weight of the
Titanic.
B. Engineers in Italy have
successfully righted the wrecked Concordia after
an operation that
lasted around 12 hours.
C. The salvage operation went ahead despite bad
weather conditions.
D. As a common means
of righting wrecked ships, parbuckling had never
been carried out
on a vessel of the
Concordia's size.
5. What will happen to the
Concordia eventually?
A. It will be pulled
away to be broken up for scrap metal.
B. It will be repaired and put into use again.
C. It will be turned into a museum for
tourists.
D. It will be sunk to the ocean
floor.
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10
are based on the following passage:
(78)
Would you risk your life for a country that
considered you a second class citizen?
Would
you join a military that asked you to risk
sacrificing your life but separated you from other
soldiers because of the color of your skin?
That is precisely what the Tuskegee Airmen did.
They
were brave, intelligent, African-American
men and women who fought for the United States in
World War II.
In 1940, President
Franklin Delano Roosevelt agreed to allow African
Americans to fly
airplanes in the military.
Before that, African Americans could only serve in
the Armed Forces as
part of the ground troops.
The first African American airmen reported for
duty in 1941. They
began their training
outside of Tuskegee, Alabama. (79) The soldiers
were completely separated
by race and the two
races could not communicate. About 450 African
American pilots finished the
training. These
men were the original Tuskegee Airmen.
The
Tuskegee Airmen had an amazing record. They did
not lose any of the bombers they
were
escorting (护航). When the war was over in 1945, the
Tuskegee Airmen were heroes. But
when they
returned to America, they were appalled to find
out that they were still treated like
second-
class citizens. They faced the same segregation
(种族隔离) and discrimination (歧视) as
they had
before they began their training.
Frederick Henry, one of the original Tuskegee
Airmen, lives in Detroit, Michigan. Because
he
was from the North, he would often forget the
segregation rules of the South. Once, Henry was
on a bus alone with a white bus driver. Soon,
after the two had talked for a while, a wave of
other
passengers came on the bus. A problem
arose when some white passengers were still
standing,
which was against the rules. Henry
was put off the bus, even though he was the first
person to
board the bus and had paid his fare.
One thing did change, however. In 1948,
President Harry S. Truman signed an executive
order prohibiting segregation in the military.
Eventually, the Tuskegee Airmen were officially
thanked for their amazing efforts in the war.
6. Which of the following is the best title
for the passage?
A. American Soldiers in
World War II B. American Civil Rights Movement
C. The Tuskegee Airmen D. Racial
Discrimination in the U. S.
7. What docs the
word
A. Reluctant. B. Pleased. C.
Shocked. D. Relieved.
8. It can be inferred
from the passage that Henry ________.
A.
refused to give up his seat to a white passenger
B. refused to pay his bus fare
C.
had a fight with the bus driver
D. was the last person to board the bus.
9. In ________, President Harry S. Truman
ordered to end military segregation.
A.
1940 B. 1941 C. 1945 D. 1948
10. According to the passage, which of the
following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is
TRUE?
A. In World War II, they never
lost a bomber to enemy fire.
B. They
were the first group of black soldiers ever
trained by the ground troops.
C. They were
not subjected to racial discrimination in the
army.
D. They were already soldiers in the
ground troops before their training at Tuskegee
began.
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15
are based on the following passage:
Coffee
is a powerful drink. On a personal level, it helps
keep us awake and active. (80) On a
much
general level, it has helped shape our history and
continues to shape our culture.
Coffee
plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were
probably used by travelling tribes ( 部
落) for
thousands of years , but it wasn't until the 1400s
that people figured out they could roast
its
seeds.
it really took off,historian Mark
Pendergrast-author of Uncommon Grounds:
the
History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our
World. By the 1500s, the drink had spread to
coffeehouses across the Arab world Within
another 150 years,it took Europe by storm.
had
a major impact on the rise of business,
just
to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.
The
insurance industry was founded hundreds of years
ago in one of London's 2,000
coffeehouses.
Literature, newspapers and even the works of great
composers like Bach and
Beethoven were also
inspired in coffeehouses.
It is often said
that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when
American colonists (殖民者
attacked British tea
ships and threw large boxes of tea into the
harbor, Americans everywhere
switched over to
drinking coffee.
mentions a letter John Adams
wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which the Founding
Father declares
his love of tea but says he
will have to learn to accept coffee instead,
because drinking tea had
become unpatriotic
(不爱国的)。
For all the upsides coffee has
brought the modem world, it also brought its fair
share of
downsides, too. Europeans carried
coffee with them as they colonized various parts
of the world,
and this frequently meant they
made people into slaves in order to grow it.

oil industry.

I
learned this 58 I was standing on a curb (路边) in a
city in Vietnam (越南). My objective, a
restaurant where my husband Tom was 59 for me,
stood on the 60 side of the street, I was 61
and could smell the food. But it seemed as if
the restaurant were miles away. The street was 62
with motor cycles, bicycles, cars, trucks and
buses. Rather than 63 the traffic into two lanes,
the
yellow lane markers apparently served only
to 64 that you were on a paved (铺设的) road. People
passed,stopped, turned around and crossed
center lines.
Traffic flowed both ways in
the same lane, and more traffic turned onto the
street from side
ones. Even when the signal
tight turned red, traffic 65 to flow as drivers
entirely 66 the signal,
rushing to me from
front, back, sides and all angles.
I was

gentleman 67 my arm. In English, he
kindly
said, “Crossing the street is not a problem, 68 a
dance.” With that we stepped 69 the curb
and
into the chaos (混乱). My heart 70 faster as we
walked slowly across. 71 greeting us with
sharp horns and angry shouts, drivers saw and
adjusted to us. As long as we made no sudden 72 ,
we were fine. I felt as if we were gracefully
swimming 73 a school of fish. The traffic
flowed
smoothly around us, in all directions.

Passage 1:
遇难哥斯达黎加康科迪
亚号侧躺在Giglio岛附近的海岸已经有20个月,Giglio岛是意大利
的一个小岛。但是在星
期二,作为曾进行过的最大的救助打捞的工作的一部分,这艘大船,
最后移动扶正了。下一步是把船从该
地区完全挪走。
哥斯达黎加康科迪亚的重量是泰坦尼克号的两倍。在三个小时的打捞中船都没
有一丝
挪动,塞尔吉奥.吉罗托告诉记者。他和其他工程师工作19小时后才宣布迪亚被完全扶正了。
2012年1月13日 哥斯达黎加康科迪亚,由于船长弗朗西斯科.斯凯蒂诺,把船靠海岸太
近造成了翻船。船撞上海岸边的岩石,造成了船体的严重破坏,水涌入船。船上4200名乘
客
中的大多数人都安全登陆了,但仍有30多人死于灾难。两人失踪。康科迪亚的船长由于
船只失事和弃船
正在造成受讯。
扶正船的方法叫用套拉索拉上。而用套拉索拉上是一个扶正船的标准操作,
但它从未被
用在这样大的船。(77)工人们一直在等待适宜的天气状况,以进行扶正操作。
星期一,当局发出了最后继续扶正的命令。
这个过程将不超过12小时。但大系统的
钢链问题造成了延误。工程师通过使用电缆和
金属水箱连夜工作使滚船到特定的平台。
康科迪亚有望在2014的春天被拉离Giglio然后拆解变成废金属。船的主人,歌诗达邮轮,
将支
付的回收费用,这个费用已超过8,000,000美元。
Passage 2:
(78)你会为一个视你为二等公民的国家出生入死么?你会加入一个要
求你牺牲生命而因
为你皮肤的颜色把你从其他士兵隔离的军队吗?这正是 [美国] 塔斯基吉飞行员做
的。他们
很勇敢,聪明,他们是第二次世界大战期间曾为美国作战的非洲裔美国男性和女性。
1940,罗斯福总统同意让非洲裔美国人在部队驾驶飞机。在那之前,非洲裔美国人只能
作为地面部队
的一部分在空军部队服役。1941年第一位非洲裔美国空军人员报到服役。他
们开始了在阿拉巴马州的
塔斯基吉训练。(79) 士兵们被种族完全隔离,两种种族不交流,
不沟通。约450的非洲裔美国飞
行员培训成功。这些人就是最早的塔斯克基飞行员。
塔斯克基飞行员有一个惊人的记录。他们
没有丢失过他们护航的任何轰炸机。1945年
战争结束时,塔斯克基飞行员是英雄。但当他们回到美国
后,他们吃惊地发现他们仍然被
视为二等公民。他们面临同样的种族隔离和歧视,就像他们他们训练之前
一样。
弗雷德里克.亨利,一个最早的塔斯克基飞行员之一,住在密歇根底特律。因为他来
自
北方,他经常会忘记南方的种族隔离。有一次,亨利坐在公共汽车,巴士司机是个白种人。
不
久后,两人聊了一会儿。一波乘客上了公共汽车。问题出现时,一些白人乘客仍然站着,
这是违反规定的
。亨利被退下了车,即使他是第一上车的人而且他也付了车费。
但是有一件事改变了。194
8年,杜鲁门总统签署了一项行政命令,禁止军中的种族隔
离。最终,塔斯基吉飞行员由于在战争中惊人
的努力得到了官方的感谢。
Passage 3:
咖啡是一种强大的饮料
。在个人层面上,它可以帮助我们保持头脑清醒和活跃。(80).从更
广泛的意义来说
,它塑造了我们的历史,并将继续塑造我们的文化。
咖啡植物生长在非洲的部分地区,数千年
来很可能是通过旅行部落使用,但直到15世
纪初,人们发现他们可以烤咖啡种子。
“那真的是一次起飞,”历史学家MarkPendergrast说----Uncommon Ground
s的作者:咖
啡的历史和它如何改变了我们的世界。在16世纪在之后的150年,咖啡饮料已经蔓延到
整个
阿拉伯世界的咖啡馆,它像风暴席卷整个欧洲。”其实已经对商业的兴起产生重大影
响,”
Pendergrast说。咖啡屋成为不只是为了享受喝一杯而是交流思想的场所。
保险业
成立于几百年前伦敦的2000多个咖啡馆中的一个。报纸和文学,甚至像巴赫和
贝多芬等伟大作曲家的
作品也是在咖啡馆被激发而创作的。
人们常说,1773年波士顿茶党后,当美国殖民者攻击
英国茶船致使大箱大箱的茶被进
入港口,各地美国人转而饮用咖啡。“我发现对这样事实有很多故事,”
Pendergrast说。他
提到了一封约翰亚当斯写信给他的妻子阿比盖尔信,在信里其创始人宣称
他爱茶,但他说
他得学会接受咖啡不喝茶,因为喝茶已经成为不爱国的。
咖啡给现代世
界带来正能量了,但它也带来了其公平的缺点。随着欧洲殖民地的扩张,
欧洲人把咖啡也带到了世界各地
,这常常意味着为了增加它的种植他们要把人变成奴隶。

思想与成
功的关系是强大的,我们成功的许多障碍也是思想上的。有些人更依赖事实,
而其他人更依赖感觉。没有
“正确的方法”,但我们都有自然的能力,沿着黑暗的路“摸索”
我们成功的路。
当我站
在越南的一个城市的马路边时我明白的这个道理。我的目的地,一家餐馆,我的
丈夫汤姆正站在对面等我
。我饿了,闻到了食物的香味。但是餐厅却似乎好像有好几英里
远。街上挤满了自行车,摩托车,汽车,
卡车和公共汽车。没有划分为两车道的交通道,
黄色的车道标志显然只是表明你走在铺平的道路上。人们
走走停停,转身并且越过中心线。
交通在同一车道两边流过,更多的交通是从人行道上到街上。
即使当信号灯变红,交通
不断流动而司机完全不顾信号灯,从前后左右,各个角度冲到我面前。
我准备放弃和汤姆的午餐,这时一个地方绅士挽着我的手臂。他亲切地用英语说,“过
马
路是没有问题的,但要像跳舞样。“我们走下路缘,进入混乱的交通中。当我们缓缓走过
时我的心跳加快
。司机们不是用尖叫的喇叭和愤怒的声音来问候我们,看到我们而调向我
们。只要我们没有突然的动作,
我们就很好。我感觉我们好像是优雅游过的一群鱼。我们
所有方向的交通都很通畅。不知不觉我们过了马
路。
在混乱的交通中学习舞蹈只是让你有一种惊讶的感觉。这是一个目的,掌握时机和信
任的组合。
