Reading Comprehension
(40 points)
Directions:
There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For
each question 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
1
There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which
attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don‘t know if either story is true,
but they
are both interesting.
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In
fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to
read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would
write ―all correct‖ on it. The problem was that he didn‘t know ho
w spell, so what he really wrote
was ―
ol korekt
‖. After a while, he shortened that ter
m to
―OK‖.
The
second
explanation
is
based
on
the
place
where
President
Van
Buren
was
born,
Kinderhook,
New
York.
Van
Buren‘s
friends
organized
a
club
to
help
him
bec
ome
President.
They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called
―OK‖.
11. The author_______________.
A. believes both of the stories
B. doesn‘t believe a word of the stories
C. is not sure whether the stories are true
D. is telling the stories just for fun
12. According to the passage, President Jackson________________.
A. coul
dn‘t draw up any documents at all
B. didn‘t like to read important papers by himself
C. often had his assistants sign documents for him
D. wasn‘t good at reading or spelling
A. was approved of by President Jackson
B. was the title of some official documents
C. was first used by President Jackson
D. was an old way to spell ―all correct‖
A. was the short way to sa
y ―Old Kinderhook Club‖
B. meant the place where President Van Buren was born
C. was the name of Van Buren‘s club
D. was used to call Van Buren‘s supporters in the election
A. by Van Buren
B. in a presidential election
C. to organize the Old Kinderhook Club
D. by the members of the ―Old Kinderhook Club‖
Passage

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than
13. According to the first story, the term ―OK‖________________.
14. According to the second story, the term ―OK‖______________.
15. According to the second story, the term ―OK‖ was first used____________.
the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a
tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(
林业
), and most of the rest live in or
around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may
still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted
view
of
the
country,
but
most
Americans
do
not
live
in
small
towns
any
more.
Half
the
population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their suburbs) of more
than a million people each
—
a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France.
The
statistics
(
统计
)
of
urban
and
rural
population
should
be
treated
with
caution
because
so
many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day.
As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled
with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But
more
and
more
the
typical
American
lives
in
a
metropolitan
rather
than
a
small
town
environment.
16. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture
and forestry ____________
A. About 25 million.
B. More than 25 million.
C. Less than 25 million.
D. Less than 225 million.
17. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in
metropolitan areas _____________
A. United States.
B. Germany.
C. France.
D. England.
18. What‘s the meaning of the word ―metropolitan‖ in the middle of the passage _________
A. Of a large city with its suburbs.
C. Of urban areas.
_________
A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.
B. Small towns are still similar to each other.
C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.
D. Small towns are turning into large cities.
A. Because they are the same.
B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.
C. Because the process is gradual.
Passage
3
If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say
that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what
we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.
It
is
the
same
in
history.
Many
things
have
been
forgotten
because
we
do
not
have
any
written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in
their
country,
but
often
it
was
destroyed
by
fire
or
in
a
war.
Sometimes
there
was
never
any
written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For
example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because
they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost
nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not
learned to write.
Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, thy may know something of the past.
They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been
made
about
the
most
important
happenings,
and
these
have
been
sung
and
acted
and
told
for
many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we
may call‘ remembered history‘. Some of it has mow been written down. It is not so exact or so
valuable
to
us
as
written
history
is,
because
words
are
much
more
easily
changed
when
used
again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records,
such spoken stories are often very helpful.
21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage ______
B. Of small and large towns.
D. Of rural areas.
19.
According
to
the
passage,
what
can
we
learn
about
small
towns
in
the
United
States
20. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb __________
D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.
A.
―Remembered history‖, compared with written history, is less reliable.
B.
Written
records
of
the
past
play
the
most
important
role
in
our
learning
of
the
human history.
C.
A
written
account
of
our
daily
activities
helps
us
to
be
able
to
answer
many
questions.
D. Where there are no written records, there is no history.
22. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _______ .
A. there was nothing worth being written down at that time
B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record
C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire
D. the people there did not know how to write
A. history based on a person‘s imagination
B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth
C. songs and dances about the most important events
D. both B and C
A. it is written down
C. it proves to be true
B. no written account is available
23. ―Remembered history‖ refers to ___________ .
24. ―Remembered history‖ is regarded as valuable only when __________ .
D. people are interested in it
25. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do
now if the ancient people had ___________ .
A. kept a written record of every past event
B. not burnt their written records in wars
C. told exact stories of the most important happenings
E.
made more songs and dances
Passage 4
?Mum, can we go to McDonald‘s, please?‘ Some people might ask, ?Where would we be
today if we did not have fast food?‘ and ?Where would parents take their children out to eat?‘
It has been reported that approximately 30% of meals consumed by families in the USA are
eaten at one of the big chains like Burger King and Taco Bell, though probably none is more
famous than McDonald‘s. The distinctive ?golden arch‘
can now be seen in most major cities in
the world. In 2002, McDonald‘s had approximately 25,000 restaurants in over 120 countries and
served 29 million people a day.
Apparently, the secret of their success is a marketing strategy of ?
think global, act lo
cal’.
McDonald‘s
learnt
that
if
they
adapted
their
?Mac‘
meals
to
different
cultures,
it
was
more
successful than having a standardised set of products that taste the same everywhere. So now,
around
80%
of
McDonald‘s
restaurants
are
franchised
to
local
peo
ple
who
serve
food
with
a
?local‘
flavour.
For
example,
in
Hong
Kong,
food
called
?Shake
Shake
Fries‘
and
?Red
Bean
Sunday‘ can be found on the menu, while in Switzerland, ?Vegi Macs‘ are served.
However, fast food is not popular with everyone. It is ofte
n called ?junk‘ food because it
is
said
to
be
unhealthy
and
full
of
fat.
Furthermore,
many
people
claim
that
fast
food
chains
produce enormous amounts of waste, while millions of people in developing countries go hungry.
At the same time, more and more peo
ple no longer cook fresh food at home. ?Convenience‘ food
is just too convenient! It is
so easy for people with busy working lives to call into their local
branch of
Marks
and
Spencer,
or
some
other
supermarket
chain,
to
buy
ready-made
meals
on
their way h
ome from work. It is even easier to buy a ?take
-
away‘ from a local restaurant or pick
up the phone and order a pizza to be delivered to your home.
26. T
he ?golden arch‘ in the second paragraph refers to ______________.
A)
Burger
King
B)
Taco
Bell
C)
McDonald‘s
D)
all
the
fast
food
restaurants
27.
According
to
the
passage,
McDonald‘s
is
successful
mainly
because
__________________.
A)
It has a standardized set of products all over the world
B)
It is not ?junk‘ food
C)
Its‘ food is convenient
D)
It adapted its meals to different cultures.
28. In the passage, which of the following terms has/ have the same meaning with fast food.
A) ?junk‘ food
B) ?convenience‘ food
C) ?take
-
away‘
D) all of the above
29. Fast food is often called ?junk food‘ because _____________.
A)
some people think it is unhealthy and full of fat
B)
fast food chains produce enormous amounts of waste
C)
it is no longer fresh food
D)
Both A and B.
30. The main idea of this passage is ____________.
A)
fast food today
B)
the successful s
ecret of McDonald‘s.
C)
why fast food is thought as ?junk‘ food
D)
different opinions toward fast food

答案
C
。
细节推理题。
见原文第一段中第二句话
“
We
don
’
t
know
if
either
story
is true
”
，意思是我们不知道这两个故事是否真实，因 此选项
C
“作者不能确认故事
是否真实”是正确选项。
12
答案
D
。
细节题。
见原文第二段第二句
“
he
had
difficulty
reading
and
writing
”
，
意思是“他在阅读和写作方面都有困难”
，第二段最后一句“
The
problem
was
that
he
didn
’
t know how to spell
”
，意思是“ 问题是他不会拼写”
，只有选项
D
“他拙于阅
读、
写作和拼写”与原文相符。
选项
C
“他让他的助手替他签署文件”
与原文所说
“他
让助手把文件读给他听”不符。
13
答案
C
。
细节推理题。原文提到了“
OK< br>”的两个用处，第一个起源于
President
Jackson,
他批准某一文件的时候，会签上“
OL korekt
”
，即“
ALL CORRECT
”
（全对）
的错误拼写，后来又将之缩略为“
OK
”
。故选项
C
“
OK
由
President Jackson
首用”
符合原文。
14
答案
D
。
细节题。原文最后一段中说“
Van Buren
’
s friends organized a club
to
help
him
become
President
?
anyone
who
supported
Van
Buren
was
called
‘
OK

Old Kinderhook
俱乐部来支持他竞
选，所以他的支持者们都被称为“
OK

B
。
判断推理题。
原文最后一段中说
“
Van
Buren

s
friends
organized
a
club
to
help
him
become
President
?
anyone
who
supported
Van
Buren
was
called
‘
OK
’”，意思是
Van Buren
的支持者们组织了
Old Kinderhook
俱乐部来支持他竞
选，
所以他的支持者们都被称为
“
OK
”
。
可见
“
OK
”
一开始专指那次总统竞选中
Van
Buren
的支持者，仅适用于那次总统选举，故正确答案是
B
。
Passage 2
16
答案
C
。
细节推理题。见原文第二句话“
Less than a tenth of the people are
engaged in
agriculture and for estry
”
，少于十分之一的美国人从事农业和林业，所以如
果美国人口是
2.5
亿，
那么农业和林业的从业人员为其十分之一不到，
即少于
2500< br>万，所以选项
C
是正确答案。
17
．答案
C
。细节判断题。见原文第四句话“
half
the
population
now
lives
in
some
thirty metropolitan areas
?
- a larger proportion than in Germany of
England, let alone France
”
，美国一半人口都住在大约
30

综合判断题。
见原文第三段第一句话
“even
if
the
people
cannot
write,
they may know something of the past
”
，即使没有文字记录，人们也可以了解
过去的历史，即通过口头传授，很明显选项< br>D
是与原文这个观点不一致的，故
D
是应选答案。
22

D
。细节题。见原文第二段最后一句话“

almost
nothing

the
people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had

见原文最后一句话
“
where
there
are
no
written
records,
such

Passage
1
When
Mrs.
Joseph
Groeger
died
recently
in
Vienna,
Austria,
people
asked
the
obvious,
―
Why
did
she
live
to
be
107?
‖
Answers
were
provided
by
a
survey
conducted
among
148
Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact
that
the
majority
had
lived
most
of
their
lives
in
cities.
In
spite
of
the
city
‘
s
image
as
an
unhealthy
place,
city
living
often
provides
benefits
that
country
living
can
lack.
One
factor
seems to be important to the longevity
(
长寿
)
of those interviewed.
This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for
a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses
have no elevators
(
电梯
) , an
d so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local
supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.
On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day.
In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride
in cars.
11. The Vienna survey may help to explain __________ .
A. the complaints of people in apartment houses
B. the cause of Mrs. Groeger
‘
s death
C. the longevity of people like Mrs. Groeger
D. the image of cities in general
A. benefits of walking
12. The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some __________ .
B. occasions for walking in city life
C. comments made by city people
D. problems of city living
13.
To
reach
the
third
floor
of
a
building,
it
would
probably
be
most
healthful
A. to take the elevator
C. to ride in a car
B. to walk up the stairs
D. to find an alternative to walking
___________ .
14.
People
who
live
in
the
country
probably
do
more
driving
than
walking
because
A. they don
‘
t live near business areas
B. they don
‘
t need the exercise
C. they never have parking problems
D. they can
‘
t afford to take the bus
A. air pollution is not serious
B. anyone can live to be 107
C. country people should move to the city
D. walking is a healthful exercise
Passage
2
For any Englishman, there
can never be any discussion as to who is
the world
‘
s greatest
__________ .
15. A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that __________ .
dramatist
(
剧作家
)
.
Only
one
name
can
possibly
suggest
itself
to
him:
that
of
William
Shakespeare.
Every
Englishman
has
some
knowledge,
however
slight,
of
the
work
of
our
greatest
writer.
All
of
us
use
words,
phrases
and
quotations
from
Shakespeare
‘
s
writings
that
have become part of the common property of the English
–
speaking people. Most of the time we
are probably unaware of the source of the words we used, rather like the old lady who was taken
to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well
–
known proverbs and
quotations.
Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writher, makes full use of the great resources of
the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal use of English;
Shakespeare in his works used about twenty
–
five thousand.
There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the
English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it. Such a study
is
well
worth
the
effort
(
it
is
not,
of
course,
recommended
to
beginners)
even
though
some
aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare
‘
s
day.
16. English people __________ .
A. have never discussed who is the world
‘
s greatest dramatist
B. never discuss any issue concerning the world
‘
s greatest dramatist
C. are sure who is the world
‘
s greatest dramatist
D. do not care who is the world
‘
s greatest poet and dramatist
A. more or less about Shakespeare
B. Shakespeare, but only slightly
C. all Shakespeare
‘
s writings
D. only the name of the greatest English writer
A. We use all the words, phrases and quotations from Shakespeare
‘
s writings.
B.
Shakespeare
‘
s
writings
have
become
the
property
of
those
who
are
learning
to
speak English..
C. It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the words they
use.
17. Every Englishman knows __________ .
18. Which of the following is true?
D. All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare.
A. Familiar sayings.
C. Complaints.
B. Shakespeare
‘
s plays.
D. Actors and actresses.
19. What does the word
―
proverb
‖
mean?
20. Why is it worthwhile to study the various ways in which Shakespeare used English?
A. English words have changed a lot since Shakespeare
‘
s time.
B. By doing so one can be fully aware of the richness of the English language.
C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare
‘
s time.
D. Beginners may heave difficulty learning some aspects of English usage.
Passage
3
Threes are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him wood and
other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent drought
(
干旱
)
and floods.
Unfortunately, in many parts of the world, man bas not realized that the third of these
services is the most important. In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees, he has
cut them down in large numbers.
Two
thousand
years
ago,
a
rich
and
powerful
country
cut
down
its
trees
to
build
warships, with which to gain itself an empire. It gained the empire but, without its trees, its
soil became bare and poor. When the empire fell to pieced, the country found itself faced by
floods and starvation.
Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is
difficult
sometimes
to
make
the
people
realize
this.
They
cut
down
the
trees
but
are
too
careless to plant and look after new trees. So, unless the government has a good system of
control, or can educate the people, the forests slowly disappear.
This
does
not
only
mean
that
there
will
be
fewer
trees.
The
results
are
even
more
serious: for where there are trees, their roots break the soil up, allowing the rain to sink in,
and also bind the soil. This prevents the soil from being washed away. But where there are
no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away on the surface, and this causes floods
and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow. When all the topsoil is gone,
nothing remains but worthless desert.
21. Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways, the most important of which is that
they can __________ .
A. Keep him from the hot sunshine
B. enable him to build warships
C. make him draw quick profit from them
D. protect him from droughts and floods
A. man is only interested in building empires
B. man is eager to profit from trees
C. man hasn‘t realized the importance of trees to him
D.
man hasn‘t found out that he has lost all trees
A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees
B. unless people stop cutting down their trees
C. unless all people are taught the importance of planting trees
D. unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them
24. The word ―bind‖ in Paragraph 5 means ―__________‖.
A. to wash away
B. to make wet
C. to make stay together
__________ .
A. keep rain from falling down to soft ground
B. cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink in
C. prevent the soil from being washed away
D. make the topsoil stick together
Passage 4
Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles
（
困扰）
old Harold.
How
is
it
that
he
can
leave
Betty
and
her
friend
Joan sitting
on
the
sofa,
talking, go
out
to a
ballgame, come back three and a half hours later, and they
‘
re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs. Talk? We
‘
re friends.
Researching
this
matter
called
friendship,
psychologist
Lillian
Rubin
spent
two
years
interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their
sex,
the
results
were
completely
clear:
women
have
more
friendships
than
men,
and
the
D. to improve
22. It‘s a great pity that __________ .
23. Sooner or later the forests will disappear __________ .
25.
When
there
is
a
heavy
rain,
trees
can
help
to
prevent
floods,
as
they
can
difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is
―
marked and unmistakable.
‖
More
than
two- thirds
of
the
single
men Rubin
interviewed
could
not
name
a best friend.
Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no
problem
naming
a
best
friend,
and
almost
always
it
was
a
woman.
More
married
men
than
women named their wife/ husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one identified
（认
定）
at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and
they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.
‖
―
In general,
‖
writes Rubin in her new book,
―
women
‘
s friendships with each other rest on
shared emotions and support, but men
‘
s relationships are marked by shared activities.
‖
For the
most part, Rubin says, interactions
（交往）
between men are emotionally controlled
–
a good fit
with the social requirements of
―
manly behavior.
‖
―
Even when a man is said to be a best friend,
‖
Rubin writes,
―
the two share little about their
innermost
feelings.
Whereas
a
woman
‘
s
closest
female
friend
might
be
the
first
to
tell
her
to
leave a failing marriage, it wasn
‘
t unusual to hear a man say he
didn‘t
know his friend
‘
s marriage
was in serious trouble until he appeared on night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.
‖

A) he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband

‘
s study shows that for emotional support a married woman is more likely to turn to
