Reading Comprehension
(35 minutes)
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 the corresponding
letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Birds that are literally halfasleep--with
one brain hemisphere alert and the other sleeping--control which
side of the brain remains awake, according to a new study of sleeping
ducks.
Earlier studies have documented halfbrain
sleep in a wide range of birds. The brain hemispheres take
turns sinking into the sleep stage characterized by slow brain
waves. The eye controlled by the sleeping hemisphere keeps shut,
while the wakeful hemisphere's eye stays open and alert. Birds
also can sleep with both hemispheres resting at once.
Decades of studies of bird flocks led researchers
to predict extra alertness in the more vulnerable, endoftherow
sleepers. Sure enough, the end birdstended to watch carefully
on the side away from their companions. Ducks in the inner spots
showed no preference for gaze direction.
Also, birds dozing(打盹) at the end of the line
resorted to singlehemisphere sleep, rather than total relaxation,
more often than inner ducks did. Rotating 16 birds through the
positions in a four duck row, the researchers found outer birds
halfasleep during some 32 percent of dozing time versus about
12 percent for birds in internal spots.
"We believe this is the first evidence for
an animal behaviorally controlling sleep and wakefulness simultaneously
in different regions of the brain，"the researchers say.
The results provide the best evidence for a
longstanding supposition that singlehemisphere sleep evolved
as creatures scanned for enemies. The preference for opening an
eye on the lookout side could be widespread, he predicts. He's seen
it in a pair of birds dozing sidebyside in the zoo and in a
single pet bird sleeping by a mirror. The mirrorside eye
closed as if the reflection were acompanion and the other eye
stayed open.
Useful as halfsleeping might be, it's only
been found in birds and such water mammals(哺乳动物) as dolphins,
whales, and seals. Perhaps keeping one side of the brain awake
allows a sleeping animal to surface occasionally to avoid drowning.
Studies of birds may offer unique insights
into sleep. Jerome M. Siegel of the UCLA says he wonders if birds'
halfbrain sleep "is just the tip of the iceberg(冰山)" He speculates
that more examples may turn up when we take a closer look at other
species.
11. A new study on birds' sleep has revealed that ________ .
A) halfbrain sleep is found in a wide variety
of birds
B) halfbrain sleep is characterized by slow
brain waves
C) birds can control their halfbrain sleep
consciously
D) birds seldom sleep with the whole of their
brain at rest
12. According to the passage, birds often half sleep because ________
.
A) they have to watch out for possible attacks
B) their brain hemispheres take turns to rest
C) the two halves of their brain are differently
structured
D) they have to constantly keep an eye on their
companions
13. The example of a bird sleeping in front of a mirror indicates
that ________.
A) the phenomenon of birds dozing in pairs
is widespread
B) birds prefer to sleep in pairs for the sake
of security
C) even an imagined companion gives the bird
a sense of security
D) a single pet bird enjoys seeing its own
reflection in the mirror
14. While sleeping, some water mammals tend to keep half awake
in order to ________ .
A) alert themselves to the approaching enemy
B) emerge from water now and then to breathe
C) be sensitive to the everchanging environment
D) avoid being swept away by rapid currents

icy weather
B) the mystery of halfbrain sleep is close
to being solved
C) most birds living in cold regions tend to
be half sleepers
D) halfbrain sleep is a phenomenon that could
exist among other species
Passage Two
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
A nine year old schoolgirl singlehandedly
cooks up a sciencefair experiment that ends up debunking(揭穿……的真相)
a widely practiced medical treatment. Emily Rosa's target was
a practice known as therapeutic(治疗的) touch (TT for short), whose
advocates manipulate patients' "energy field"to make them feel
better and even, say some, to cure them of various ills. Yet Emily's
test shows that these energy fields can't be detected, even by
trained TT practitioners (行医者). Obviously mindful of the publicity
value of the situation, Journal editor George Lundberg appeared
on TV to declare, "Age doesn't matter. It's good science that
matters, and this is good science."
Emily's mother Linda Rosa, a registered nurse,
has been campaigning against TT for nearly a decade. Linda first
thought about TT in the late '80s, when she learned it was on
the approved list for continuing nursing education in Colorado.
Its 100,000 trained practitioners (48,000 in the U. S.) don't
even touch their patients. Instead, they waved their hands a few
inches from the patient's body, pushing energy fields around until
they' re in "balance." TT advocates say these manipulations can
help heal wounds, relieve Pain and reduce fever. The claims are
taken seriously enough that TT therapists are frequently hired
by leading hospitals, at up to $ 70 an hour, to smooth patients'
energy, sometimes during surgery.
Yet Rosa could not find any evidence that it
works. To provide such proof,TT therapists would have to sit down
for independent testing--something they haven't been eager
to do, even though James Randi has offered more than $1 million
to anyone who can demonstrate the existence of a human energy
field. (He's had one taker so far. She failed.) A skeptic might
conclude that TT practitioners are afraid to lay their beliefs
on the line. But who could turn down an innocentfourthgrader?
Says Emily:"I think they didn't take me very seriously because
I'm a kid."
The experiment was straight forward: 21 TT
therapists stuck their hands, palms up, through a screen. Emily
held her own hand over one of theirsleft or rightand the practitioners
had to say which hand it was. When the results were recorded,
they'd done no better than they would have by simply guessing.
If there was an energy field, they couldn't feel it.
16. Which of the following is evidence that TT is widely practiced?
A) TT has been in existence for decades.
B) Many patients were cured by therapeutic
touch.
C) TT therapists are often employed by leading
hospitals.
D) More than 100,000 people are undergoing
TT treatment.
17. Very few TT practitioners responded to the $1 million offer
because ________.
A) they didn't take the offer seriously
B) they didn't want to risk their career
C) they were unwilling to reveal their secret
D) they thought it was not in line with their
practice
18. The purpose of Emily Rosa's experiment was ________.
A) to see why TT could work the way it did
B) to find out how TT cured patients' illnesses
C) to test whether she could sense the human
energy field
D) to test whether a human energy field really existed
19. Why did some TT practitioners agree to be the subjects of
Emil's experiment?
A) It involved nothing more than mere guessing.
B) They thought it was going to be a lot of
fun.
C) It was more straightforward than other experiments.
D) They sensed no harm in a little girl's experiment.
20. What can we learn from the passage?
A) Some widely accepted beliefs can be deceiving.
B) Solid evidence weighs more than pure theories.
C) Little children can be as clever as trained
TT practitioners.
D) The principle of TT is too profound to understand.
Passage Three
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
What might driving on an automated highway
be like? The answer depends on what kind of system is ultimately
adopted. Two distinct types are on the drawing board. The first
is a specialpurpose lane system, in which certain lanes are reserved
for automated vehicles. The second is a mixed traffic system:
fully automated vehicles would share the road with partially automated
or manual driven cars. A specialpurpose lane system would require
more extensive physical modifications to existing highways, but
it promises the greatest gains in freeway（高速公路）capacity.
Under either scheme, the driver would specify
the desired destination, furnishing this information to a computer
in the car at the beginning of the trip or perhaps just before
reaching the automated highway. If a mixed traffic system
way was in place, automated driving could begin whenever the driver
was on suitably equipped roads. If specialpurpose lanes were
available, the car could enter them and join existing traffic
in two different ways. One method would use a special onramp(入口引道).
As the driver approached the point of entry
for the highway, devices install
ed on the roadside would electronically check the vehicle to determine
its destinati
on and to ascertain that it had the proper automation equipment
in good working order. Assuming it passed such tests, the
driver would then be guided through a gate and toward an
automated lane. In this case, the transition from manual to auto
mated control would take place on the entrance ramp. An alternative
technique could employ conventional lanes, which would be shared
by automated and regular vehicles. The driver would steer onto
the highway and move in normal fashion to a "transition'lane.
The vehicle would then shift under computer control onto alane
reserved for automated traffic. (The limitation of these lanes
to automated traffic would, presumably, be well respected, because
all trespassers(非法进入者) could be swiftly identified by authorities.)
Either approach to joining a lane of automated
traffic would harmonize the movement of newly entering vehicles
with those already traveling. Automatic control here should allow
for smooth merging without the usual uncertainties and potential
for accidents. And once a vehicle had settled into autmated travel,
the driverwould be free to release the wheel, open the morning
paper or just relax.
21. We learn from the first paragraph that two systems of automated
highways ________.
A) are being planned
B) are being modified
C) are now in wide use
D) are under construction
22. A specialpurpose lane system is probably advantageous in
that ________.
A) it would require only minor changes to existing
highways
B) it would achieve the greatest highway traffic
efficiency
C) it has a lane for both automated and partially
automated vehicles
D) it offers more lanes for automated vehicles
23. Which of the following is true about driving on an automated
highway?
A) Vehicles traveling on it are assigned different
lanes according to their
destinations.
B) A car can join existing traffic any time
in a mixed lane system.
C)The driver should inform his car computer
of his destination before driving onto
it.
D) The driver should share the automated lane
with those of regular vehicles.
24. We know from the passage that a car can enter a specialpurpose
lane________.
A) by smoothly merging with cars on the conventional
lane
B) by way of a ramp with electronic control
devices
C) through a specially guarded gate
D) after all trespassers are identified and
removed
25. When driving in an automated lane, the driver ________.
A) should harmonize with newly entering cars
B) doesn't have to rely on his computer system
C) should watch out for potential accidents
D) doesn't have to hold on to the steering
wheel
Passage Four
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Taking charge of yourself involves putting
to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the
notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve
complex problems; to read, write and compute at certain levels;and
to resolve abstract equations quickly. This vision of intelligence
asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true
measures of selffulfillment. It encourages a kind of intellectual
prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results.
We have come to believe that someone who has more educational
merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline
is"intelligent." Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients
who have all of the properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator
of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and
each present moment of every day.
If you are happy, if you live each moment for
everything it's worth, then you are an intelligent person. Problem
solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that
given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can
still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to
choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent
because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N. B. D.
--Nervous Break Down.
"Intelligent'people do not have N.B.D.'s because
they are in charge of themselves. They know how to choose happiness
over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems
of their lives.
You can begin to think of yourselfas truly
intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face
of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the
same for each of us. Every one who is involved with other humanbeings
in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements,
conflictsand compromises are a part of what it means to be human.
Similarly, money, growing old,sickness, deaths, natural disasters
and accidents are all events which present problems to virtually
all human beings. But some people are able to make it, to avoid
immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences,
while others collapse or have an N. B.D. Those who recognize problems
as a human condition and don' t measure happiness by an absence
of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also,
the most rare.
26. According to the author, the conventional notion of intelligence
measured in terms
of one' s ability to read, write and compute
________.
A) is a widely held but wrong concept
B) will help eliminate intellectual prejudice
C) is the root of all mental distress
D) will contribute to one's selffulfillment
27. It is implied in the passage that holding a university degree
________.
A) may result in one's inability to solve complex
reallife problems
B) does not indicate one's ability to write
properly worded documents
C) may make one mentally sick and physically
weak
D) does not mean that one is highly intelligent
28. The author thinks that an intelligent person knows ________.
A) how to put up with some very prevalent myths
B) how to find the best way to achieve success
in tire
C) how to avoid depression and make his life
worthwhile
D) how to persuade others to compromise
29. In the last paragraph, the author tells us that ________.
A) difficulties are but part of everyone's
life
B) depression and unhappiness are unavoidable
in life
C) everybody should learn to avoid trying circumstances
D) good feelings can contribute to eventual
academic excellence
30. According to the passage, what kind of people are rare?
A) Those who don't emphasize bookish excellence
in their pursuit of happiness.
B) Those who are aware of difficulties in life
but know how to avoid unhappiness.
C) Those who measure happiness by an absence
of problems but seldom suffer from N.
B. D. ' s.
D) Those who are able to secure happiness though
having to struggle against trying
circumstances.

In the United States, the first day nursery,
was opened in 1854. Nurseries were established in various areas
during the 61 half of the
19th century; most
of 62 were charitable. Both in Europe
and in the U.S., the daynursery movemen
t received great 63 during the
First World War, when 64 of manpower
caused the
industrial employment of unprecedented(前所未有) numbers of women.
In some European countries nurseries were established
65 in munitions(军火) plants, under dir
ect government sponsorship. 66 the number
of nurseries in the U.S. also rose 67
,
this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind.
During the years
following the First World War, 68 , federal,State,
and local governments gradually began to exercise a measure of
control 69 the day nurseries, chiefly
by 70 them and by.
The 71 of the Second
World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number
of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were
72 called up on to replace men in the factories.
On this 73 the U.S. government
immediately came to the support of the nursery schools,
74 $ 6,000,000 in July, 1942,for a nurseryschool program
for the children of working mothers. Many States and local communities
75 this Federal aid. By the end of the war, in
August, 1945, more than 100,000 children were being cared
76 in daycare centers receiving Federal
77 . Soon afterward, the Federal government
78 cut down its expenditures for this purpose
