8、prehensionDirections: 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.20 America is a country on the

9、 move. In unheard of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly-up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non-exercisers believe they would

10、be more attractive and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads for everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the

11、late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running has leveled off in recent years as Americans ha

12、ve discovered equally rewarding and sometimes safer forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remain the most popular forms of exercise.As the popularity of exercise continues to mount, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits. The key to fitness is exercising the major musc

13、le groups vigorously (强有力地) enough to approximately double the heart rate and keep it doubled for 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Doing such physical exercises three times of more a week will produce considerable improvements in physical health in about three months.21 According to the passage, what was

14、 the percentage of American adults doing regular physical exercises two years ago?（A）About 70%.（B） Nearly 60%.（C） Almost 50%.（D）More than 12%. 22 A growing interest in sports developed utter _.（A）research showed their health benefits（B） people got the. message from magazine covers and postage stamps

15、（C） scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV ads（D）an increasing number of races were held in American cities 23 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase“ leveled off“ (para. 2, Line 6)?（A）become very popular（B） stopped being popular（C） reached its lowest level in pop

16、ularity（D）stopped increasing in popularity 24 It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise. ( )（A）are yet to be proved（B） are to be further studied（C） are supported by scientific evidence（D）are self-evident 24 In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastestgrowi

17、ng the U. S. minority. As their children began moving up through the nations schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decided

18、ly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. They are also influenced by the promise

19、of a good job after college. Asians feel they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are deter- mined that t

20、heir children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture

21、that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the Victims of social isola

22、tion. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship. 25 While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students _.（A）feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English（B） are afraid that their academic succe

23、sses bear a strong Asian character（C） still worry about unfair treatment in society（D）generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents 26 What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?（A）A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture（B） Hard work and

24、 intelligence（C） Hard help and a limited knowledge of English（D）Asian culture and the American educational system 27 Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because _.（A）their English is not good enough（B） they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas（C） ther

25、e is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures（D）they know little about American culture and society 28 Why do the two “explanations“ (Line 1, Para. 3) worry Asian Americans?（A）They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general（B） People would think that As

26、ian students rely on their parents for success（C） Asian Americans would be a threat to other minorities（D）American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character 28 Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The a

27、tmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are

28、screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem“. Sc

29、ientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 ream without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage-a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex

30、 organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed (畸形的) children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated a large amount of reams. So far,

31、 no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damag

32、e done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.29 According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that（A）it protects him against the harmful rays from space（B） it provides sufficient light for plant growth（C） it supplies the heat necessary for human

33、survival（D）it screens off the falling meteors 30 We know from the passage that _.（A）exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal（B） the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming（C） radiation is avoidable in space exploration（D）astronauts in spacesuits neednt worry about radiation dama

34、ge 31 The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members _.（A）is insignificant（B） is enormous（C） seems overestimated（D）remains unknown 32 It can be inferred from the passage that _.（A）the Apollo mission was very successful（B） protection from space radiation is no easy job（C） astronauts will have

35、 deformed children of grandchildren（D）radiation is not a threat to well protection space explorers 32 When I began reading Catch-22, I thought it was a farcical satire on life in the United States Army Air Force. Later I believed that Mr. Hellers target was modern war and all those who axe responsib

36、le for waging it. Still later it seemed that he was attacking social organization and anyone who derives power from it. But by the end of the book it had become plain to me that it is no other phrase will do the human condition itself which is the object of Mr. Heller an outraged fury and disgust.A

37、reviewer must always keep an anxious eye on the state of his currency. If he announces too many masterpieces he risks inflation (though it is sometimes forgotten by some of us that the cowardice of perpetual crabbing (挑剔) receives its own kind of punishment). It does not seem many weeks since I was

38、proclaiming that Malcolm Lowrys Under the Volcano is one of the great English novels of the century; and not long before that I was urging that attention should be paid to the magnificent and neglected talent of William Gerhardi.But at the risk of inflation I cannot help writing that Catch-22 is the

39、 greatest satirical work in English since Erewhon. For the fact is that all my successive interpretations of this book now seem to have been accurate, even if the earlier ones were also incomplete. The book has an immense and devastating (讽刺的) theme, but this theme is illustrated, as it should be, b

40、y means of an observed reality.I am not suggesting that Catch - 22 is a realistic account of life in the wartime Air Force of America or any other country. The method of satire is to inflate (放大) reality so that all its partially concealed blemishes (缺点) turn into monstrous and apparent deformations

41、. The effect of good satire is to make us laugh with horror. And this means that social and person- al evils which are being satirized must have been there, and must be felt by the reader to be there even while he is laughing at the results of the satirists inflating imagination. 33 The passage seem

42、s to be from _.（A）a review of a film（B） a book about the U. S. Air Force（C） an essay on satire（D）a review of a book 34 The writer suggests that Catch - 22 is _.（A）a very great English novel（B） an accurate portrayal of life in wartime（C） an excellent piece of satire（D）the work of a neglected author 3

43、5 The underlined part “keep an anxious eye on the state of his currency“ means _.（A）take care not to be over-critical in his writing（B） watch carefully to see that nobody else takes his job（C） be careful to ensure that his comments retain their value（D）be sure that his salary keeps pace with inflati

44、on 36 Why does the writer say “at the risk of inflation“?（A）Because he feels that he might be exaggerating（B） Because he has recently praised more works than usual（C） Because he finds it hard to be objective（D）Because he feels he may not praise the work sufficiently 36 Auctions (拍卖) are public sales

45、 of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asks the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or “bids“, for the various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of goods. This is called “knocking down t

46、he goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands, This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increase“. The Romans usua

47、lly sold in this way the spoils taken in war; these sales were called “subusta“, meaning “under the spear“, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold by the candle, a short candle was lit by the auctioneer; a

48、nd bids could be made while it stayed alight.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by possible buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sol

49、d together, called a “lot“, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with lot 1 and continue in numerical order; be may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers arc in the room and then pro- duce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneers services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding
