　?、? Reading Comprehension (60 points)

　　Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage One

　　To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television ornewspaper to get an expert weather forecast. But if you know what to look for, you can use your ownsenses to make weather predictions.

　　There are many signs which can help you. For example, in fair weather the air pressure isgenerally high. The air is still and often full of dust. Faraway objects may look hazy. But when a stormis brewing, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things more clearly. Sailors took note ofthis long ago and came up with a saying "The farther the sight, the nearer the rain. "

　　Your sense of smell can also help you detect weather changes. Just before it rains, odors becomestronger. This is because odors arerepressedin a fair, high-pressure center. When a bad weather lowmoves in, air pressure lessens and odors are released.

　　You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return toearth with increased force. An old saying describes it this way: "Sounds traveling far and wide, astorm day will betide. "

　　And don't scoff if your grandmother says she can feel a storm coming. It is commonly known thatmany people feel pains in their bones or in corns and bunions when the humidity rises, the pressuredrops, and bad weather is on the way.

　　There are no inevitable outcomes of social class in child rearing. At the same time, there is no

　　question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that

　　children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their childreninto the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervisedand are expected to followexplicitrules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do asthey are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they deal with theirchildren. As a result, their concern is less with their children's motivations and more with theirchildren's outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing theirchildren. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expected to take more initiative on thejob, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control. Theyare also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physical punishment.

　　Farm animals provide man with food and material for clothing, leather and other products. Some,

　　such as horses and oxen, provide transportation and power to pull maehinery. Livestock gaze on about40 percent of the United States land area.

　　Cattle provide meat, hides and dairy products. Beef and dairy cattle account for about a third of

　　all farm income in the U.S. Farms in the Midwest and sprawling ranches in the West raise most of thecountry's beef cattle. The main Dairy Belt in the U.S. extends through the Northern states from NewEngland to Minnesota. Eastern dairy farmers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa sell most of their milkto companies that make butter, cheese and evaporated milk.

　　Hogs grow rapidly and provide meat and materials used to make many products. Hogs thrive on

　　corn, and farmers in the Corn Belt of the Midwest raise more than two-thirds of U. S. hogs.

　　Sheep and goats supply man with meat, wool and skins for leather. They are hardy animals that

　　live well on poor grazing land.

　　Poultry includes chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and other birds raised for meat or eggs. Many

　　farmers keep small flocks of chickens to supply their families with eggs and meat. But some U. S.farmers specialize in raising large flocks of meat or egg-laying chickens. They use scientific breedingand feeding methods.

　　Some specialized farms raise mink and other animals for their fur, rabbits for meat, or silkwormsfor silk. Many farmers keep bees to get their honey and to help pollinate crops.

　　Passage Four

　　The crowd stirred and whispered in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat.

　　Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer'squestion. After the final tap, the horse paused, seemed to look around and stopped. The crowd wentwild !

　　The horse's name was Clever Hans, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(雜耍)

　　act in the early 1900s, in Europe. When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner,

　　Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves. For example, if the answer was sixty-eight, Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof. Even more remarkable,the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal betweenowner and horse. A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man's!

　　It wasn't until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed. The owner had trained Clever

　　Hans to respond to slight signals. The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from thecrowd's reaction. Members of the audience would start involuntarily, or give some unconscious signal,when Hans reached the right answer. Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome(綜合征), whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actionsthey like to see performed!

　　B. a dramatic account

　　C. an understatement

　　D. a scientific finding

　　Passage Five

　　It takes a long time to grow a tree. How long? Well, pine trees are the quickest growing trees, but

　　still, they take twenty years to reach a size suitable for cutting and harvesting. An oak takes about sixtyyears to grow to a good size. A redwood may take hundreds of years.

　　Lumber companies, which make their money on trees, depend on those that grow quickly.Therefore, they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster. So far, the secret to fastgrowing trees seems to lie in " super-seeds. " These are seeds that are gathered from the quickestgrowing trees in a forest. One company searched 100,000 acres of trees and selected the seeds fromjust fifteen trees. These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees.Eventually, when these trees have grown, seeds will again be taken only from the fastest growing treesof crop. This process of artificial selection will yield, in the future, a super-tree that will grow in halfthe time it takes normal trees to develop.

　　Unfortunately, it takes a long time for a plan like this to reach its goal. The Weyerhauser Lumber

　　Corporation, which started its first collection of seed in 1958, is just now beginning to harvest the

　　super-seeds of the first generation of the faster growing trees.

　　52. This selection centers on

　　A. the life span of trees

　　B. the age of redwoods

　　C. making trees grow quickly

　　D. cutting trees for lumber

　　53. Trees that grow faster are developed by

　　A. planting many trees and fertilizing them

　　B. collecting seeds from strong, slow growing trees

　　C. selecting the seeds of the fastest growing trees

　　D. feeding them high-energy plant foods

　　54. Super-trees

　　A. will be a great benefit to lumber companies

　　B. make extra-good lumber for buildings

　　C. will probably be weak because of their fast growth

　　D. may be defenseless to many insects and diseases

　　55. The word "therefore" in paragraph 2 indicates that a

　　A. speech is beginning

　　B. conclusion follows

　　C. comparison is being made

　　D. metaphor is being used

　　第一篇

　　【答案】

　　36.D 37.C 38.D 39.B

　　【解析】

　　36.第二、三、四段分別從視覺、味覺和聽覺講了如何感知天氣的變化。所以，選項D是正確的。

　　37.第二段，當氣壓下降時，你能很清楚地看到遠處的物體。選項C是正確的。

　　38.最后一段。作者提到許多人都會在濕度變高的情況下感覺到天氣的變化。根據這個例子可以說明作者認為許多人是能夠感覺到天氣變化的。選項D是正確的。

　　39.第三段。從該單詞本身來看：re-前綴，表示反復;press壓。反復地壓意味著壓抑、壓制。Crush壓碎、鎮壓。選項B是正確的。

　　【原文大意】

　　要想知道天氣如何，大多數人都是直接聽收音機、看電視或看報紙來獲取專業的天氣預報。如果你知道怎樣去看，你可根據自己的感覺預知天氣情況。

　　有許多跡象可以幫助你。例如，天氣好時，氣壓通常比較高，空氣寧靜，多塵土，遠處的物體是模糊的。但當風暴正在醞釀之時，氣壓下降，你通常能很清晰地看到物體。水手們很久以前就注意到這個現象了，并由此得出一個說法：遠物近雨。

　　你的味黨也可以幫助你判斷天氣的變化。雨來之際，氣味很濃。這是因為，在晴朗、高壓中心，氣味被壓抑的原因。當壞天氣的低壓流入，氣壓減小，氣味也就釋放出來。

　　你也能聽到暴風雨來臨的聲音。聲音撞擊暴風雨的云層，再以倍增的力量反彈回到大地。

　　有一句老話可以解釋這種現象：聲音走得遠而寬，暴風雨將來臨。

　　如果你的祖母說她覺得暴風雨要來了你不要嘲笑。人們都知道，當濕氣上升壓力下降時，許多人的骨頭、雞眼和趾囊腫就會感覺疼痛。這說明壞天氣就要來了。

　　第二篇

　　【答案】

　　40.D 41.A 42.C 43.A

　　【解析】

　　40.根據上下文，工人階層的工作性質是被管理并且是要遵守規則的。那么，其規則肯定是明確的。選項D是正確的。

　　41.根據文章的說法，工人是被管理的對象，是聽從別人的。所以，這也就形成了他們在管理自己的孩子時，也希望孩子只是執行自己的命令而已，比較容易動用體罰。選項A是正確的。

　　42.文章中說，中產階層的父母親因為自己的工作性質是開創性的，因此對其子女也就比較開放，希望他們充滿好奇。選項C是正確的。

　　43.全文說的是關于家長的社會地位與其孩子培養的關系。文章的第一句就點明了主題。選項A是正確的。

　　【原文大意】

　　社會地位對小孩的培養沒有必然的結果?？赏瑫r，社會地位又是影響對孩子的養育方法和將成為什么樣的人的重要因素。在社會地位這個問題上，社會學家發現，父母會把自己的孩子劃歸到一定的社會行為和自己的工作環境的準則中。普通勞動階層的人在工作中幾乎是被管理并被期待著執行明確規則的人。如果他們不按照規定的去做，他們將會失去工作。他們的經歷影響到他們與孩子的接觸。其結果是，他們關心的不是孩子的動機，而是孩子與外界的一致性。因此，他們在管理孩子上常常采用肉體懲罰的方式。另一方面，中產階級的父母，因為他們自己是那種希望在工作中有所創造的人，因此在對待孩子上也鼓勵孩子發展好奇心，能夠自我表達、自我控制。這些父母也很容易放棄特權或影響，不會使用肉體懲罰的方法。
