Part Ⅱ.Read Comprehension(50 points)
Directions:In this part, there are 4 passages. Each passage is followed by five 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.
“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.
“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience… not to be inhibited(拘谨；抑制)… not to be nervous…”
Exactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowdays, you don’t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without a prepared script, how to reach out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your longstanding nervous inhibitions.
It is the same in writing. (81)The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and reach out to the person at the other end of the line.
Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary or at least it’s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper.”
41. The main task of public speech course is to .
A. teach spokenlanguage expressions
B. teach how to use gestures to assist speech
C. help the learners overcome nervousness
D. teach how to control the volume of the speaker’s voice
42. Learning how to write is similar to learning how to speak in public in that a writer should .
A. overcome his or her nervousness in the first place
B. watch his or her grammar and vocabulary
C. collect a lot of dats before writing
D. take hold of a reader and talk to him or her before writing
43. In the author’s opinion, .
A. writing needs more experience and skill than public speaking
B. both writing and public speaking require effort
C. writing is imaginative
D. public speaking is not so natural as writing
44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Not many students feel the need to learn public speaking.
B. Training is necessary before you can speak with a script.

D. Writing is just like making a public speech on paper.
45. This selection is mainly about learning how to .
A. make a public speech B. talk on paper
C. behave properly in public speech D. express strong emotions on paper
Passage Two
In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. (82)Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.
The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.
Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by oriental peoples.
Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.
Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea teachnology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.
The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.

A. Needs of Man B. Sources of Energy
C. Sea Harvest D. Sea Exploring Technology
47. According to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because .

B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ship.
C. To argue that man should use steamships more than other means of transportation.
D. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.
49. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. man hasn’t completely cultivated the riches of the sea

Passage Three
Your passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America, most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common, almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every country in the world.
In 1979, almost 15 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because, except for a few western nations, passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad, you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.
When traveling abroad, you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card, buy an airplane ticket, and check into a hotel or casino. As a passport is an official U.S. document, it is valuable as identification in any emergency overseas, such as floods, fires, or war.
Don’t confuse passports and visas. (83) Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens, a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years, many countries were dropping their visa requirements, but that trend has reversed. Argentina, Brazil, and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.
Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston, New York, or Chicago. In smaller cities, applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport, you must submit the application in person, along with a birth certificate and two pictures.
51. The main purpose of the passage is to .
A. discuss traveling in other countries
B. distinguish between passports and visas
C. discuss the financial uses of a passport
D. provide information about passports
52. Passports are beneficial for .
A. exchanging currency B. using a credit card
C. checking into hotels D. all of the above
53. We can infer from the passage that .
A. every country requires a visa from a foreign citizen
B. not every country requires a visa from a foreign citizen
C. only countries like Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela now require visas from U.S. citizens
D. countries like Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela only require visas from U.S. citizens
54. The passage suggests that .
A. most people don’t realize how important passports are
B. passports aren’t important once you are in the country you’ve chosen to visit
C. passports are simple to obtain through the mail
D. passports are obtained at the embassy once you enter a country

Passage Four
I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching(抓住) at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim that they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They are off in new directions in music, but somehow they all end up huddled(拥挤) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(茧) into a larger cocoon.
(84)It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days, every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. (85)All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.
56. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell .
A. readers how to be popular with people around
B. teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves
C. parents how to control and guide their children
D. people how to understand and respect each other
57. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, in fact, most of them .
A. have much difficulty understanding each other
B. lack confidence
C. dare not cope with problems singlehanded
D. are very much afraid of getting lost
58. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. There is no popularity that really counts.
B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.
C. It is not necessarily had for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmats.
D. Most teenagers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing the same.
59. The author thinks of advertisements as .

端午节
每年农历的五月初五是中国的一个民间传统节日，叫端午节。在这一天，人们要赛龙舟、吃粽子。这个节日是为了纪念著名诗人屈原。
相传两千多年前，楚国诗人屈原因改革政治，屡遭保守势力的诽谤，失去楚王的信任，后被放逐。最终，因国家衰败，理想无法实现，自投汨罗江而死。
据说，老百姓听到屈原投江自尽，就有人驱舟去打捞，但没有找到。他们担心屈原的遗体会被鱼吃掉，便将煮熟的米饭撒到江中。我们今天吃粽子、赛龙舟的习俗就是由此慢慢演变而来的。
