Part II Reading Comprehension (40 marks, 40 minutes)
Section A
Directions:
There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four
choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best
choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a
single line through the center
Passage One
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair-and not just
whether they brush, spray, or blow-dry.
Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from
and where that person has been. The finding could help solve crimes, among
other useful applications.
Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half
an adult human's body weight. Our bodies break water down into its parts-
hydrogen and oxygen.
But not all water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how
much they weigh. Different forms of a single element are called isotopes(核素).
And depending on where you live, tap water contains unique proportions of the
heavier and lighter isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen.
Might hair record all this information? That's what scientists wondered. To
find out, researchers collected hair from barbers in 65 cities in 18 states across
the United States. The researchers assumed that the hair they collected came
from people who lived in the area.
Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days, the scientists
found that hair did reflect the concentrations of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes in
local tap water. That's probably because people usually cook their food in the
local water. What's more, most of the other liquids we drink contain large
amounts ofwater that also come from sources within their region.
Scientists already knew how the composition of water varies throughout the
country. By combining that information with the results, they predicted the
composition of hair in people from different regions.
The new technique can't point to exactly where a person is from, because
similar types of water appear in different regions that span（跨越） a broad area.
But authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from
criminals or crime victims and narrow their search for clues.
Based on the finding, one research offers this advice:
shave.
31. Water is different in that _________.
A) hydrogen and oxygen atoms are broken down differently by people
B) different samples contain different proportions of isotopes of hydrogen
C) the weight of hydrogen and oxygen atoms varies from sample to sample
D) its proportion in an adult human's body weight is different across people
32. In order to find out if hair can tell where a person is from, scientists need
hair samples _________.
A) containing information on the composition of tap water
B) showing how much bottled water the person drinks daily
C) containing information on the kinds of food in the region
D) showing the variety of liquids the person regularly drinks
33. Why can't the technique tell where exactly a person is from?
A) Because many regions have similar types of water.
B) Because nowadays people drink too much bottled water.
C) Because scientists don't know exactly how water varies.
D) Because there are too many different regions in the nation.

34. This new technique might help with _________.
A) tracking down lost animals
B) the prevention of water pollution
C) identifying criminals without hair
D) the identification of crime victims
35. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?
A) Hair Detectives
B) Hair Signals Danger
C) Drink to Your Health
D) Water Tells Everything
Passage Two
Questions 36 t0 40 are based on the following passage:
Talk is hot, whether it's on TV, radio, or the Internet. Experts disagree
about why Americans love to hear and participate in talk programming, but many
believe talk media helps people feel connected with others. It's also entertaining.
Talk programming across all media has grown rapidly. In 1983, only 53
radio stations had news/talk formats, compared with more than l,000 today, while
the total number of stations remained constant at 10,000. The number of talk shows
on television soared from just a handful in 1986, to 15 in the 1989-1990 season,
to 19 during the 1996-1997 season, according to Nielsen Media Research.
What makes the talk media so popular? Is it bored viewers and listeners
wanting the most shocking gossip(流言) available? Not entirely, says Michael
Harrison, writer for Talkers Magazine, which covers the talk-media industry.


even if they did. But there's still a human need for community, so it's a virtual,
electronic, global media community.
Economics also help account for the rise in talk. Television talk shows are
much cheaper than other shows to produce. And talk sells better than any other
radio format. Programmers can also fit more advertisements into fast-paced talk
than into a music format.
What's more, our commuter (常乘公共车辆往返者) culture may be giving
talk-radio, in particular, a popularity boost. Americans on the road to work are
an enthusiastic audience for talk-radio. And in some large or fast-growing cities,
time spent on the way to work is on the rise. In Los Angeles, the individual drive
time will go up at least five minutes a year for the next 20 years because of
population growth and the lack of new infrastructure(基础设施).
36. What can be inferred about radio stations in America today?
A) There has never been so many of them until recently.
B) Most Americans prefer radio to any other types of media.
C) One tenth of them offer talk shows to the American public.
D) More Americans tune in for talk shows than any other programs.
37. To many Americans, talk shows are _________.
A) a center of shocking gossips
