7、】 二、 Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three 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

8、Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 10 A report published recently brings bad news about air pollution. It suggests that it could be as damaging to our health as exposure to the radiation from the 1986 Ukraine nuclear power disaster. The report was published by the UK Royal Commissio

9、n on Environmental Pollution. But what can city people do to reduce exposure to air pollution? Quite a lot, it turns out. Avoid walking in busy streets. Choose side streets and parks instead. Pollution levels can fall a considerable amount just by moving a few meters away from the main pollution sou

10、rce -exhaust fumes(烟气 ). Also dont walk behind smokers. Walk on the windward side of the street where exposure to pollutants can be 50 percent less than on the downwind side. Sitting on the driver s side of a bus can increase your exposure by 10 percent, compared with sitting on the side nearest the

11、 pavement. Sitting upstairs on a double-decker can reduce exposure. It is difficult to say whether traveling on an underground train is better or worse than taking the bus. Air pollution on underground trains tends to be less toxic than that at street level, because underground pollution is mostly m

12、ade up of tiny iron particles thrown up by wheels hitting the rails. But diesel and petrol fumes have a mixture of pollutants. When you are crossing a road, stand well back from the curb while you wait for the light to change. Every meter really does count when you are close to traffic. As the traff

13、ic begins to move, fumes can be reduced in just a few seconds. So holding your breath for just a moment can make a difference, even though it might sound silly. There are large sudden pollution increases during rush hours. Pollution levels fall during nighttime. The time of year also makes a big dif

14、ference. Pollution levels tend to be at their lowest during spring and autumn when winds are freshest. Extreme cold or hot weather has a trapping effect and tends to cause a build-up of pollutants. 11 What is the passage mainly about? （ A） How to fight air pollution in big cities. （ B） How to avoid

15、air pollution in big cities. （ C） How to breathe fresh air in big cities. （ D） How serious the air pollution is in big cities. 12 According to the report, air pollution in big cities_. （ A） can be more serious thanChernobyl nuclear disaster （ B） cannot be compared with the disaster in Chernobyl （ C）

17、nger 14 If you take a bus in a big city in China, you should sit_. （ A） on the left side in the bus （ B） on the right side in the bus （ C） in the middle of the bus （ D） in the back of the bus 15 It is implied in the passage that_. （ A） people should not take street level transportation （ B） tiny iro

18、n particles will not cause health problems （ C） the air pollution on an underground train is less poisonous （ D） traveling on an underground train is better than taking the bus 15 My father had a small business, employing about 15 people at any given time. We sold all sorts of dairy products, and ma

19、ny more, from a small store in front of the dairy building. During the summer months, rows of eager tourists lined up at that ice -cream counter for a taste of my father s exquisite homemade ice cream. Because it was an extremely busy little store, the employees had to work very quickly for hours at

20、 a time, with little rest. One day, in 1976, we had a new employee, Debbie, who wanted to work in the store for the summer. She had never done this type of work before, but planned to give it her all. On her first day, Debbie made just about every mistake in the book. She added up the sales wrong on

21、 the cash register. She charged the wrong prices for items. She gave the wrong bag of food to the wrong customer. And she dropped and broke a half-gallon of milk. I couldn t stand watching her struggle any longer. I went into my father s office and said, “ Please go out there and put her out of her

22、misery.“ I expected him to walk right into the store and fire her on the spot. Since my father s office was situated within view of the sales counter, he had no doubt seen what I was talking about. He got up from his desk and walked over to Debbie, who was standing behind the counter. “Debbie,“ he s

23、aid, as he put his hand gently on her shoulder. “I have been watching you and I saw how you treated Mrs. Forbush.“ Debbie s face began to flush, and she looked as if she was about to cry. She struggled to remember Mrs. Forbush from the many women she had given the wrong change to or spilled milk on.

24、 My father continued, “I ve never seen Mrs. Forbush be so polite before. You really knew how to handle her. I am sure she is going to want you to wait on her every time she comes in. Keep up the good work.“ My father was a wise and compassionate employer. Because of this, Debbie became a loyal and h

25、ard-working employee for 16 years and a friend for life. 16 The small business run by the author s father_. （ A） barely survived this year （ B） hardly made any money （ C） suffered some losses （ D） was quite successful 17 The author considered Debbie s mistakes as_. （ A） normal （ B） understandable （

26、C） unbearable （ D） unavoidable 18 When the author s father first mentioned Mrs. Forbush, Debbie thought that_ . （ A） the boss was satisfied （ B） it would be useless to complain （ C） she would be punished （ D） her work would not be rewarded 19 The author s father_. （ A） didn t do what the author had

27、suggested （ B） didnt believe what the author had said （ C） was willing to take the author s advice （ D） was glad to give the author another chance 20 It can be concluded from the way the author s father treated Debbie that_. （ A） strict discipline will finally pay off （ B） encouragement can make peo

28、ple improve （ C） success is achieved through hard work （ D） small mistakes may lead to serious problems 20 I saw an ad for a device that allows your dog to talk to you. Bow Lingual, a Japanese invention, entered the American market a couple of weeks ago. Named “ The Dog Translator,“ it sold more tha

29、n 250,000 units before heading here. And dont forget that it was sold at the price of $ 120 each. Its quite simple, really. A radio microphone attaches to your dog s collar, and a handheld receiver “translates“ barks into 200 different phrases. The device determines your dogs emotion at the moment:

30、happy, sad, frustrated, on-guard, assertive and needy. (In case you have a dog that barks only in Japanese or Korean, it comes with those translations, too.) As interesting as this new device is again, I m kicking myself here any dog owner worth his Milk-Bones knows this might not be all that necess

31、ary a purchase. Our dog, Murphy, for instance, has never had any problem whatsoever communicating with us. Not once in 13 years. Odd as it seems, we can figure out quite quickly what s on her mind. Just the cock of her head will often do it. Translation: “ Surely you re taking me with you.“ Sometime

32、s it s a solitary bark at the kitchen door after dinner. Translation: “ You forgot my treat, Buster!“ And sometimes its 100 barks in a row. Translation: “The mailman is here! The mailman is here! Cant you hear him attacking our house?“ But I think I witnessed the ultimate dog communication technique

33、 years ago. It was a neighbor s dog. I cant remember the breed or name. All I remember is how bright she was. She had no need for Bow Lingual. Whenever frustrated with her family, which appeared to be quite often, she would stroll into the living room, turn her back to them and sit directly in front

34、 of the TV they were watching. And pee. No translation needed. And you need not be smart or rich to figure that out. 21 We can infer from the passage that sale of “The Dog Translator“ in Japan_. （ A） was considered a failure （ B） was quite successful （ C） was relatively satisfactory （ D） was relativ

35、ely unsatisfactory 22 “The Dog Translator“ _. （ A） can translate dog “barks“ into 200 languages （ B） cannot tell you your dog s emotion right away （ C） is likely to be broken by the dog （ D） is quite simple and easy to use 23 What will the author s dog Murphy do at the kitchen door to remind them of

36、 her dinner? （ A） She will give one bark. （ B） She will give many barks. （ C） She will raise her head. （ D） She will turn her back to us. 24 What does the phrase “in a row“ in paragraph 3 mean? （ A） On and off. （ B） All the time. （ C） One after another. （ D） In the same place. 25 The author seems to

37、 think that “The Dog Translator“ is_. （ A） popular and useful （ B） popular but useless （ C） useful but unpopular （ D） useless and unpopular 25 Running late again, I rushed into the Cub Scouts parents meeting, noting the surplus of empty chairs. At least, I wasn t the only one running behind, I told

38、myself with great relief. The Cubmaster checked his watch, and with a barely audible sigh, started the meeting. As the Cubmaster explained the challenges that the group faced in the coming year, he pointed out that the empty chairs, which should have been filled with parent volunteers, were our bigg

39、est obstacles. As he spoke, I felt a rising sense of guilt mounting within me. Wasnt I looking forward to leaving my seven-year-old in the care of a competent adult while I ran errands? I quickly came to realize that the problem wasn t just about empty chairs: it was also about people like me who we

40、re unwilling to sacrifice some of their time to a worthy cause. Before I could change my mind, I raised my hand to volunteer as den (幼年童子军小队 )leader. Although I knew next to nothing about teaching a group of noisy and restless second-graders, I was determined to make it work. My first den meeting wa

41、s as chaotic and noisy as the first day of a county fair. The boys were too excited to sit still. What have I gotten myself into? I wondered, composing a letter of resignation in my head. Much to my surprise, the boys actually enjoyed themselves. They even invited their friends to join our den, and

42、before long, our ranks swelled from four boys to ten. My son was thrilled to have his mom as den leader: it gave him bragging rights on the playground. As I walked through the school s parking lot, it was rare when one of “my“ boys didn t call out a greeting or stop me for a quick hug and a story to

43、 share. They would talk with me about the little things going on in their lives whether it was a loose tooth ready to wiggle its way out or a special event coming up. As I watched them, I thought of the empty chairs at that meeting and those who would never know this joy. After all, I gave those boy

44、s only one hour of my time every week, but they rewarded me with their hearts. 26 It is clear that the Cubmaster_. （ A） felt sorry for what had happened （ B） could hardly control his anger （ C） was thankful to whoever had come （ D） was disappointed with the situation 27 The author began to feel guil
