Passage One
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following
The last few days before Christmas passed quickly and it was soon Christmas Eve. That night when everyone went to bed, Bunny couldn't sleep. He still couldn't think of what he wanted his special Christmas present to be. He wondered how Santa would know what to bring him if he didn't know himself. As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof and a sound downstairs. It was Santa Claus, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to catch a glimpse of the old fellow before Santa departed for his next stop. By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Brightly wrapped presents were piled under the Christmas tree, but Santa was gone. A little disappointed, Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry. \Bunny. \the big pile of presents to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and mournful eyes.

Passage Two
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
A study suggests that dirty air can reduce lung development. Researchers at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles published their work in the \England Journal of Medicine\About one thousand seven hundred children from different communities in Southern California took part in the study. The scientists tested the children every year for eight years, starting at age ten. They say this is the longest study ever done on air pollution and the health of children. The scientists found that children who lived in areas with the dirtiest air were five times more likely to grow up with weak lungs. Many were using less than eighty percent of normal lung strength to breathe. The damage from dirty air was as bad as that found in children with parents who smoke. Children with reduced lung power may suffer more severe effects from a common cold, for example. But the researchers express greater concerns about long-term effects. They say adults normally begin to lose one percent of their lung power each year after age twenty. The doctors note that weak lung activity is the second leading cause of early deaths among adults. The first is smoking. By the time people are eighteen, their lungs are fully developed, or close to it. The doctors say it is impossible to recover from any damage. Researchers say they are still not sure how air pollution affects lung development. They believe that pollution affects the tiny air spaces where oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) are exchanged. Arden Pope is an economics professor at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Professor Pope wrote a commentary about the study. He noted that air quality in Southern California has improved since the study began in the early nineteen-nineties. Clean-air laws have reduced pollution from vehicles, industry and other causes. But dirty air is still a
6
problem in areas of California and other places. Professor Pope says continued efforts to improve air quality are likely to provide additional improvements in health.
36. A study done by researchers at the University of Southern California indicates
that ________.
A. 1,700 children from Southern California have weak lung activities B. children in Southern California use less lung strength to breathe C. air pollution may affect the growth of children's lungs
D. 80 percent of children in Southern California suffer from air pollution 37. According to the article, children living in dirty air
A. may lose eighty percent of their normal lung strength B. may suffer more severe effects from a common cold C. were five times more likely to catch a common cold D. were unlikely to recover from any lung damage
38. Why do the researchers express greater concern about the long-term effects of air pollution on children?
A. They begin to lose 1% of their lung power each year after 20. B. They do not show any signs of lung damage when they are young. C. They may suffer early death when they grow up.
D. They cannot expect to have their lungs fully developed at 18.
39. What do we learn from the passage about the air in Southern California? A. It is unlikely to improve in the near future.
B. It is free of pollution from vehicles and industry. C. It is as dirty as it was before.
D. It is cleaner than it was in the early 1990s. 40. Professor Pope believes that ________.
A. improvement in air quality will provide further health benefits
B. clean-air laws should be passed to reduce air pollution in California C. further studies should be done to find out how dirty air affects lung
development
D. air pollution does even greater harm to children's health than their parents'
smoking
Passage Three
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: More than a thousand trains in the United States have names, most of them showing rank or importance, speed, geographical areas or famous men. Some train names are romantic, such as Adventureland, Sunset, and Argonaut; others use the names of birds, animals, trees, and flowers, even an insect (the Frisco Road’s Firefly). But in all history only four passenger trains have ever been named directly for American women: Pocahontas, Ann Rutledge, Kate Shelly, and Nellie Bly. Note the word ―directly‖. In 1892 a horse called Nancy Hanks, probably named for Abraham Lincoln’s mother, set a new world’s racing record — a mile in 2.04 minutes. because the name stood for speed and grace, the Central of Georgia Railway gave it to a new passenger engine. A speed recorder showed that the train covered a mile in 39 seconds.
7
And on January 8, 1893, the Nancy Hanks made its first round trip in regular service between Atlanta and Savannah, with J. Green Freeney being the engineer. The Nancy Hanks lasted only seven months because, folklore has it, it was too costly, too progressive, too fast, and too dangerous. In August 1893, the Nancy Hanks made its last run, with engineer Freeney at the controls of his ―Little Girl Blue‖. Maybe, as Freeney’s son put it, the train died because it was ―too popular‖. Thus ―the fastest train on the earth‖, as it was named, died young. The horse it was named for lived nearly thirty years, until 1915, and was buried about three miles out of Lexington, Kentucky.
41. According to this passage, all the following have been used for a name of a train EXCEPT ________?
A. a geographical location B. a popular song C. an insect
D. a famous man
42. The following statements about the horse are true EXCEPT ________.
A. it could run a mile in less than 2 minutes
B. it was probably named for Abraham Lincoln’s mother C. it set a new world record for racing speed D. it was named Nancy Hanks
43. The pronoun ―it‖ (line3, para. 2) refers to ________. A. the name, Nancy Hanks
B. the horse, Nancy Hanks C. the train, Nancy Hanks D．the speed of Nancy Hanks
44. Information about the reason for the train’s death comes from ________. A. history books
B. records of train tickets sold in 1893 C. a record kept by the railroad D. stories that people tell each other
45. The other name given by the engineer to the train was ________.
A. Frisco Road’s Firefly B. Little Girl Blue C. J. Green Freeney D. Georgia
Passage Four
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
It’s not difficult to figure out the connection between the heart and Valentine’s Day (情人节). The heart, after all, was thought in ancient times to be the source of all emotions. It later came to be associated only with emotion of love. (Today, we know that the heart is, basically, the pump that keeps blood flowing through our bodies.) It’s not clear when the valentine heart shape became the symbol for the heart (we all know the heart isn’t really shaped like that). Some scholars speculate that the heart symbol as we use it to signify romance or love came from early attempts by people to
8
draw an organ they’d never seen. Anyway, here are some of the other valentine symbols and their origins:
? Red roses were said to be the favorite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love; also, red is a color that suggests strong feelings.
? Lase (花边) has long been used to make women’s handkerchief. Hundreds of years ago, if a woman dropped her handkerchief, a man might pick it up for her. Sometimes, if she had her eye on the right man, a woman might intentionally drop her handkerchief to encourage him. So people began to think of romance when they thought of lace.
? Love knots (结) have a number of circles with no beginning and no end. A symbol of everlasting love, love knots were made from ribbon or drawn on paper.
? Lovebirds, colorful birds found in Africa, are so named because they sit closely together in pairs — like sweethearts do! Doves are symbols of loyalty and love, because they become couples for life and share the care of their babies.
46. The word ―speculate‖ in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A. suppose B. disagree C. question D. expect
47. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ________.
A .it is easy to determine the relationship between the heart and Valentine’s
Day.
B. the heart became connected with all emotions before it was a sign of love C. people in ancient times drew the heart based on their observation. D. the color of red is associated with strong emotions
48. According to the passage, women used ________ to encourage men to declare their love.
A. red roses B. love lace C. love knots
D. lovebirds
49. According to the passage, for lifelong love, the most probable picture a man would send to the girl he loves is that of ________. A. a rose
B. a handkerchief
C. a love knot
D. a bird
50. The best title for this passage is ________. A. Gifts for Lovers
B. Marriage Customs C. A Holiday of Love
D Symbols of Love

C D Part V. Reading Comprehension: Passage One
Question 31- 35 are based on the following passage:
14
I was born in the city of York, in England, in the year 1632. My father was a man of some wealth, able to give me a good home and send me to school. It was his wish that I should be a lawyer but my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of travel, and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea. My father gave me strong advice against it, but with little effect. One day, being at Hull, I met a school-fellow who was about to sail for London in his father’s ship, and he invited me to go with him, and without telling my father, I went on board.
On the way to London, a storm arose, the ship was wreaked, and we barely escaped with our lives. I went on foot to London, where I met with the master of a vessel which did business with countries on the coast of Africa. He took a fancy to me, and offered me a chance to go with him on his voyages, which I gladly accepted.
A great storm came up. And the ship was tossed about for many days, until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we struck a bank of sand, and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. So we launched a boat. After we had been driven four or five miles, a mountainous wave struck us so hard that it overturned the boat at once. Though I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was dashed against a rock with such a force that it left me senseless. But I recovered a little before the waves returned, and, running forward, got to the mainland safely.
31. What did the author want to do most when he was young? A. To visit Africa B. To sail the seas. C. To practice law.
D. To make a tour of London.
32. Why did the author go on foot to London? A. The ship he took was destroyed in a storm.
B. His father did not supply the fare for the journey.
C. He went against his father’s strong advice not to do so. D. His school-fellow invited him to go together.
33. Why did they launch a boat?
A. They knew they were near the shore.
B. The big waves were about to overturn the ship.
C. Their ship had been knocked about for many days on the sea. D. Their ship had struck sand and was about to break into pieces.
34. When the author got to the mainland, he ___________. A. searched everywhere for his lost companions B. fell down on the ground senseless C. was safe and sound
D. ran forward to escape being washed back into the sea
15
35. When the author finally arrived on land, he most probably ___________. A. knew he was in Africa B. did not know where he was

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do – become a freelance (自由撰稿的) writer. Changing professions (职业) has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways.
The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible (灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before – between 45 and 50 hours a week – but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me.
I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise.
As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I've also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home.
Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I don't feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don't have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there's enough money until the next check arrives.
All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a \36. Why did the author decide to become a freelance writer? A. He had always liked writing.
B. He was dissatisfied with his company. C. He never liked his job as a manager. D. He wanted to change his lifestyle.
37. What is the main difference the job change brought to the author? A. He works fewer hours a week.
B. He does not have to work on weekends. C. He can change his schedule as he likes. D. He can work at night and sleep late.
38. Why does the author do his own cooking now?
16
A. He wants to lose weight.
B. He has got lots of free time on his hands. C. He no longer feels tired after work. D. He wants to eat more healthfully. 39. What is his chief problem now?
A. He cannot count on his paycheck to arrive on time. B. He has no regular work to do.
C. He has to find a publisher for his books. D. He has to worry about money.
40. At the end of the passage, the author indicates that ________. A. he is going to find a regular job soon
B. he is not going to change his lifestyle in the near future C. he will continue to write for the rest of his life
D. he will soon find out whether writing is a good career for him

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of traveling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn.

Passage Four
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:
There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: \anything I can do for you?\me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and he's determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness.
His other standard question – \the car?\– used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that \the car?\is. The advantage is that if there's something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if you're having marital problems or doubting a career choice, he might have to put Mom on the line.
At age 30 I finally took the plunge (突然一跳) into adulthood by leasing (租) a car without my dad's help or advice. I'm sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughter's independence is evidence (证据) of a job well done, it still implies the job's done, and many fathers are reluctant to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he'd happily hop on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question, \something he could provide. It's interesting: Even though we're tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function – suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare – to feel he has a role in my life. 46.
