　　Part IReading Comprehension ( 30 % )(成人高考更多完整資料免費提供加微信/QQ：29838818)

　　Directions : There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfin-ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should de-cide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

　　In sport the sexes are separate. (76)Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.Women are less strong than men.That at least is what people say. Women are called" the weaker sex" ,or, if men want to please them, "the fair sex". But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers.

　　And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women' s bodies really weaker?

　　The fastest men can run a mile in 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women' s speeds are always slower than men' s, but some facts are surprising. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first" Tarzan" in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl50 years later !This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone(荷爾蒙)injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problem. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes !

　　Passage 2(成人高考更多完整資料免費提供加微信/QQ：29838818)

　　Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

　　(77)What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter.To get these necessities on regular basis,a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be in-cluded as basic, such as health and education facilities.

　　We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. (78)We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies.Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of liv-ing is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.

　　But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a televi-sion would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.

　　6. What we need in life is divided into__________ according to this article.

　　A. the basic necessities and luxury

　　B. many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses

　　C. four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense

　　D. the basic necessities and reliable income

　　7. A person who gets the basic necessities must __________according to the writer.

　　A. have a reliable income

　　B. learn how to please his manager

　　C. finish his work ahead the time

　　D. get a good education

　　8. We all enjoy__________.

　　A. having only reliable income

　　B. having reliable income and extra income

　　C. having nothing more than food and clothing

　　D. having nothing more than reliable income

　　9. With time going on,__________.

　　A. a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get

　　B. the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller

　　C. a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged

　　D. the basic needs can be changed into a luxury

　　10. If most of the people of a country have a television, we__________.

　　A. can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelter

　　B. can say the television must be in the basic necessities

　　C. cannot say the television is in the basic necessities

　　D. can say every family must have one

　　Passage 3(成人高考更多完整資料免費提供加微信/QQ：29838818)

　　Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

　　Increasingly, over the past ten years, people--especially young people--have become aware of the need to change their eating habits, because much of the food they eat, particularly processed food, is not good for the health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in natural foods.

　　Foods which do not contain chemical additives (添加劑) and which have not been affected by chemical fertilizers, widely used in farming today.

　　(79)Natural foods, for example, are vegetables, fruit and grain which have been grown in soil that is rich in organic ( 有機的 ) matter.In simple terms, this means that the soil has been nourished by unused vegetable matter, which provides it with essential vitamins and minerals. This in itself is a natural process compared with the use of chemicals and fertilizers, the main purpose of which is to increase the amount--but not the quality--of foods grown in commercial farming areas.

　　Natural foods also include animals which have been allowed to feed and move freely in healthy pastures(牧場). Compare this with what happens in the mass production of poultry: there are farms, for example, where thousands of chickens live crowded together in one building and are fed on food which is little better than rubbish. Chickens kept in this way are not only tasteless as food, they also lay eggs which lack important vitamins.

　　There are other aspects of healthy eating which are now receiving increasing attention from ex-perts on diet. Take, for example, the question of sugar. This is actually a non-essential food! Al-though a natural alternative, such as honey, can be used to sweeten food if it is necessary, we can in fact do without it. It is not that sugar is harmful in itself. But it does seem to be addictive: the quantity we use has grown steadily over the last two centuries and in Britain today each person con-sumes an average of 200 pounds a year! Yet all it does is to provide us with energy, in the form of calories. There are no vitamins in it, no minerals and no fiber.

　　(80)It is significant that nowadays fiber is considered to be an important part of a healthy di-et.In white bread, for example, the fiber has been removed. But it is present in unrefined flour and of course in vegetables. It is interesting to note that in countries where the national diet con-tains large quantities of unrefined flour and vegetables, certain diseases are comparatively rare.

　　Hence the emphasis is placed on the eating of whole meal bread and more vegetables by modern ex-perts on "healthy eating".

　　11. People have become more interested in natural foods because__________.

　　A. they are more health conscious

　　B. they want to taste all kinds of foods

　　C. natural foods are more delicious than processed foods

　　D. they want to return to nature

　　12. Soil that is rich in organic matters__________.

　　A. has had chemicals and fertilizers added to it

　　B. contains vegetable matter that has not been consumed

　　C. has been nourished by fertilizers

　　D. already contains large quantities of vitamins and minerals

　　13. Chickens raised in poultry farms are all of the following EXCEPT that__________.

　　A. they are fed on food which is little better than garbage

　　B. they live in very crowded condition

　　C. the eggs they lay lack vitamins

　　D. they are allowed to move about and eat freely

　　14. According to the passage,__________.

　　A. people need sugar to give them energy

　　B. sugar is bad for the health

　　C. the use of sugar is habit forming

　　D. sugar only sweetens food, but provides us with nothing useful

　　15. The best title for this passage is__________.

　　A. People' s Growing Interest in Natural Foods

　　B. Natural Foods and Healthy Diet

　　C. Harmful Effects of Sugar

　　D. The Importance of Fiber in Foods
