Part II Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 reading 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 your answer on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Dolphins (
海豚
) are not fish, but warm- blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to
each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But
dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our
own, and they live a long time --- at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make
these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their
ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.
Strangely,
dolphins
seem
to
like
man,
and
for
thousands
of
years
there
have
been
stories
about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast
of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every
boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called
“The penguin”
shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through
the area ---
except for “The Penguin”.

Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect
them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.
36.

Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ___B___.

A. live in groups






B. have large brains
C. are warm-blooded





D. have their own language
37.

Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?C
A. Its nose.







B. Its ears.
C. Its mouth.







D. Its eyes.
38.

Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?D
A. He was lonely and liked to be with people.
B. They enjoyed playing with him.
C. He was seriously wounded.
D. They wanted his help
39.

By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ___A___.
A. dolphins are friendly and clever

3
B. people are cruel to animals
C. Jack is different from other dolphins
D. dolphins should be protected by law
40.

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?D
A. Dolphins have their own language.
B. Dolphins use a part of their mouth to find their way around.
C. In many countries one will break the law if he/she kills a dolphin.
D. It took Jack nine years to recover after it was wounded by the shot in 1903.

Passage 2
Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a
person
needs
around
him
is
a
cultural
difference,
not
an
economic
one.
Knowing
your
own
psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for
example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family, and
both
you
and
your
sister
or
brother
had
your
own
bedrooms,
the
chances
are,
if
you
have
two
children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example,
they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are
babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed
with his parents or in a bed near them.
The
space
in
the
home
also
shows
a
lot
about
psychological
space
needs.
Some
families
gather
closer
to
each
other
and
the
size
of
their
house
has
nothing
to
do
with
it.
Others
have
separate little corners where family members go to be alone.
Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they
sometimes
have
to
be
changed
a
little
because
of
economic
pressures.
It
is
almost
impossible,
however, to completely change your psychological space needs.
41.

The passage is chiefly concerned with __C____.
A. American way of living
B. living conditions in different countries
C. space requirements in different cultures
D. space requirements and economic factors
42.

According to the author, the amount of living space a person needs is decided by __A____.
A. his cultural background
B. the relationship between the family members

43.

A. Americans are more eager to be alone when they are at home
B. psychological space needs are developed when one is very young
C. it is advisable to let the baby sleep with his parents
D. it is advisable to let the baby sleep in a separate room
44.

Some families gather close to each other at home because __B____.
A. they have limited living space
B. it satisfies their psychological space needs
C. they have been brought up in a small family

4

45.

A. will change as one’s incomes are reduced

B. will change if you move to a smaller house
C. can be changed at will
D. cannot be changed completely

Passage 3
People and the sources of air pollution are found in the same places. This means that cities
with
large
populations
have
the
biggest
problem
of
dirty
air.
Air
pollution
is
caused
by
many
different things. A major source of air pollution is the gas fumes (
烟
) from cars. Statistics show
that 93 percent of all auto trips are within cities. Another major source of dirty air is the burning of
coal and oil for energy. This energy is needed to make electricity. Of course, much more electricity
is used in the city than in the country.
On the average, we throw away more garbage than the year before. The burning of garbage
contributes to air pollution. Many major industries are also responsible for the dirty air in the cities.
The fumes from iron, steel, chemical, and petroleum production add pollution to the air.
The
effects
of
air
pollution
range
from
slight
headaches
to
death.
The
levels
of
pollution
found
in
heavy
traffic
may
cause
headaches
for
loss
of
clear
vision.
Wherever
coal
and
oil
are
used for fuel, fumes may kill trees and plants and cause metal to corrode (
腐蚀
). In some of the
larger cities, these fumes endanger the lives of human beings by contributing to lung diseases and
causing early death.
46.

The key point of the passage is that ___B___.
A. the cause of air pollution is people
B. the causes and the effects of air pollution are both found in cities
C. the effects of air pollution range from headaches to death
D. air pollution is caused by dirty air
47.

What is the purpose of this passage?A
A. To persuade people to stop polluting the air.
B. To tell the causes of air pollution.
C. To tell why cities are bad places to live in.
D. To describe how people living in cities feel about polluted air.
48.

Why is air pollution more serious in the city than in the country?D
A. Because there are larger population in cities.
B. Because the air in the city is dirty.
C. Because there are more cars in the city.
D. Because there are much more gas fumes from cars and burning of coal and oil for energy
in the city than in the country.
49.

The fumes from coal and oil may cause metal __C____.
A. to turn black






B. to become rusty
C. to corrode
