9、：48.00)22.Part III Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

10、（分数：8.00）_Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear

11、on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in Dec

12、ember of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on dema

13、nd. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tel

14、lers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.（分数：8.00）(1).A bank run happens when_.（分数：2.00）A.a bank is closed for one or more daysB.too many dep

15、ositors try to draw out their money at one timeC.there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD.tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank(2).The main cause of a bank run is_.（分数：2.00）A.loss of confidenceB.lack of moneyC.crowds of peopleD.inexperienced tellers(3).Which of

16、 the following did Mrs. Vaught say?（分数：2.00）A.She knew that the bank was not sound.B.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.C.She was not able to draw out her money.D.She was tempted to draw out her money.(4).According to the passage, the actions of the deposito

17、rs of Mrs. Vaughts bank were affected mainly by the_.（分数：2.00）A.ease with which they could get their moneyB.confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC.failure of several other banks to openD.confidence shown by other depositors of the bankCopernicus was born in Torun, Poland, on February 19,1473. Little is

18、 known about his early life except that his father died when he was 10. An uncle adopted him, his two sisters, and his brother. The uncle saw to it that the two boys received a good education. Copernicus went to the University of Cracow. There he studied such subjects as Latin, mathematics, and astr

19、onomy. It was probably at that time that he changed his Polish name, Niklas Koppernigk, to the Latin form of Nicolaus Copernicus. In 1496 Copernicus went to Italy, where he spent the next 10 years studying at various universities. In Copernicus time people still believed that all thingsthe sun, the

20、stars, and the planets moved around the earth. It was an old belief that few men had ever questioned. Aristotle had based his theory of astronomy on this belief. Because the Church had long been the center of learning, the theory was also linked to religious beliefs. In 1506 Copernicus returned to h

21、is homeland. A few years later he began to work for the Church. All those years Copernicus carried on his work in astronomy. He had just the most basic equipment and, like other scientists of his day, made observations with only his eyes. Still, using mathematics and logic, Copernicus worked out a d

22、ifferent theory, which held that the planets went around the sun. Copernicus did not announce his ideas. He did not want to make trouble. But he could not hide the scientific truth. So he talked about his theory with his friends, who strongly advised him to have his work published. His great book, O

23、n the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies, appeared at the very end of his life. Copernicus saw the first copy on the day he died, May 24,1543.（分数：8.00）(1).From the passage we can see that astronomy is_.（分数：2.00）A.the life experience of great menB.the movement of the stars and the planetsC.the scient

24、ific study of natural objects in spaceD.the theories developed by scientists of old times(2).Copernicus developed his theory _.（分数：2.00）A.using various telescopesB.based on Aristotles beliefsC.through observations and reasoningD.under the encouragement of his friends(3).The writer of the passage wan

25、ts us to know that _.（分数：2.00）A.Copernicus did not tell about his discovery until the day of his deathB.for many years Copernicus dared to do nothing openly against the ChurchC.pushed by his friends Copernicus decided to write a book in May 1543D.shortly before he got back to Poland Copernicus start

26、ed to work for the Church(4).Copernicus had his great book published because _.（分数：2.00）A.he didnt agree with AristotleB.he could not hide the scientific truthC.he worked for the ChurchD.his friends advised him to do soIn ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touche

27、d: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them. Today electronic monetary systems

28、 are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes“, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received b

29、y different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.（分数：8.00）(1).According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?（分数：2.00）A.Bartered goods.B.Fiat money.C.Coin currency.D.Intangible forms.(2).The author mentions foo

30、d, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all _.（分数：2.00）A.useful itemsB.articles of valueC.difficult things to obtainD.material objects(3).According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they _.（分数：2.00）A.represented a great improvement over barterB.p

32、still limited to small transactions(交易).D.They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.There has been, in history, a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. The mans name is James Bartley. The records to prove his unusual experience are in the British Admiralty. Bartley

33、 was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East. Suddenly the lookout sighted a huge sperm whale. The whalers knew it was a huge whale by the size of the spray it blew into the air. They lowered their small boats. James Bartley was in the first longboat. The men rowed until they were

34、 close to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark. It sank into the whales flesh. The maddened beast crashed into the boat, snapping its tail at the men and the wreckage of their boats. When the survivors were picked up, James Bartley was missing. Shortly before sunset, the whale was f

35、inally captured. The sailors tied the whales dead body to the side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cut up the whale right away. Otherwise, the meat would begin to rot and the oil would begin to spoil. When they got to the stomach, they felt something moving about w

36、ildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive inside. But when they opened the stomach they found James Bartley. After this trip, Bartley settled in England, and never returned to sea.（分数：8.00）(1).This passage is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.how to hunt whales for their oil and meatB.the hard

37、and dangerous lives that whalers had to liveC.the duties of each man on a whaling shipD.a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived(2).The sailors knew that something was in the whales stomach because _ .（分数：2.00）A.they could feel it moving about wildlyB.the whale seemed very heavyC.the whale was s

38、welling at one spotD.the captain heard Bartley yelling for help(3).James Bartley probably never went to sea again because_.（分数：2.00）A.he wanted different kinds of adventuresB.of fright and shockC.he was crippled by the whaleD.he often got seasick(4).The author, in telling James Bartleys story, infor

39、ms us by _.（分数：2.00）A.narrating the plain factsB.referring to whaling in generalC.comparing whaling to other fishingD.dramatically telling what happenedThis was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted th

40、eir research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.“ This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their

41、 field? The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thingthe importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But i

42、n this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didnt write anything on the board. The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次) of meaning. Some layers are simple, clear, and on the surface; other layers ar

43、e deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesnt happen much in undergraduate(本科) science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities (人文学科) . Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about te

44、aching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using careful, clear definitions (定义)when he explains a poem. He also plans to be more informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science

45、students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.“ But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the p

46、rofessors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.（分数：8.00）(1).What do we know about this unusual class?（分数：2.00）A.The teachers did lots of writing on the board.B.The teachers were invited to attend several lectures.C.The students were professors from a university.D.The stu

47、dents were studying science and humanities.(2).The experiment was designed to find out_.（分数：2.00）A.how to teach the students in the science classB.whether poetry is difficult for science studentsC.what to be taught in the humanities classD.why many humanities students find science hard(3).Finding le

48、vels of meaning is（分数：2.00）A.important for graduate students in humanitiesB.difficult for graduate students in humanitiesC.common for undergraduate students in scienceD.easy for undergraduate students in science(4).What did the science professors learn after the experiment?（分数：2.00）A.They should change the way they teach.B.A poem could be explained in clear definitions.C.A poetry class could be more informative.D.Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.四、Cloze(总题数：2，分数：60.00)23.Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following
