 READING COMPREHENSION


  Questions 71 to 75 are based on  the following passage:


  The pig was the last animal to be fully domesticated by the farmer.Unlike the cow and the sheep, it is not a grass-eater. Its ancient home was the forest, where it searched for different kinds of food, such as nuts, roots and dead animals, and found in the bushes protection for its almost hairless body from extremes of sun and cold. For many centuries the farmer allowed it to continue there, leaving his pigs to look after themselves most of the time. As the woodlands began to shrink, the pig slowly began to be kept on the farm itself. But it did not finally come into a shed, where it was fed on waste food from the farm and the house, until the eighteenth century.


  The pig, then, became a farm animal in the age of agricultural improve- ment in Britain in the eighteenth century, but it was given little attention by special animal breeders, for the major farmers of the time preferred to develop the larger kinds of animal. There were, however, various less well- known farmers interested in pigs and they based their improvements on new types of pig from overseas. These were the Chinese Pig, and its various relatives, including the Neapolitan pig, which were descended from Chinese pigs that had found their way to the Mediterranean in ancient times. These were very different from the thin and leggy British woodland pigs. They were wider and squarer, with shorter legs and flatter faces, and they matured earlier and produced more delicate meat. By the end of the eighteenth cen- tury these overseas pigs had influenced the colour, shape and characteristics of the native British pig a great deal.


  In the early nineteenth century, pig-farmers worked at improving all sorts and conditions of pig. Many of the special pigs they developed are now forgotten, but by the end of the century they had established most of the kinds we know in Britain today.


  71. In their original wild state pigs _______.


  A) ate the same food as other animals


  B) did  not like other animals


  C) lived among trees


  D) did not go near cows or sheep


  72. Why were pigs not fully domesticated in Britain until the eighteenth century?


  A) They could find food for themselves well enough in woodlands.


  B) There was no suitable food for them on most farms.


  C) It was difficult to develop improved types of pig.


  D) They did not grow well when kept indoors.


  73. The passage tells us that in the age of agricultural improvement in Britain in the eighteenth century _______.


  A) very fat pigs were developed


  B) British types of pig were replaced with overseas ones


  C) pigs received less attention than other animals


  D) important breeders concentrated on pigs


  74. How did Chinese and Neapolitan pigs differ from native British pigs?


  A) They were taller. B) They had shorter noses.


  C) They had stronger legs. D) They were weightier.


  75. The passage mainly discusses _______.


  A) pigs in England


  B) the history of pigs as domestic animals in England


  C) how the pigs were fed in England


  D) how to establish new kinds of pigs in England


 
 Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:


  The United States became a rich industrial nation toward the end of the 1800s. There were more goods, more services, more jobs, and a higher standard of living. There was more of everything, including problems. One problem was monopoly -- that is, be the only seller of a certain line of products or a service. In some cases, several companies that manufactured the same product would agree not to compete with one another. They would all agree to charge the same price. These arrangements made it impossible for customers to shop around for lower prices for certain products.


  Some people decided that huge corporations had too much power and controlled too many markets. Because of their wealth and power, they could see to it that governments passed laws favorable to them. Many people believed that monopoly and  price fixing were bad for customers and bad for the country so that they should be broken up.


  Finally, the national government and some states passed laws that placed limits on corporations and big companies. These laws made it illegal for companies to make agreements to charge only a certain price. Later on the national government forced monopoly to be broken up.


  Such laws and government action didn't entirely do away with monopolies. Nor did they stop the growth of huge corporations. But they did show that American people had decided that some of the changes that had occurred were harmful.


  76. The word'monopoly'(in Paragraph 1) most probably means _______.


  A) the production of certain kinds of goods


  B) complete control and possession of trade


  C) a big corporation or company


  D) an agreement on prices


  77. Because of the agreements between big companies, _______.


  A) people had to buy things at certain shops


  B) the prices of their goods were much lower


  C) customers had no choice but to buy goods at fixed prices


  D) there were fewer markets in some states


  78. According to the laws, companies _______.


  A) were not allowed to control the markets


  B) could not force the customers to buy their products


  C) should have fixed prices for their products


  D) must produce the same kind of goods for the same markets


  79. Some American people thought that _______.


  A) the government should make some of the huge corporations much smaller


  B) the country's industry was growing too rapidly


  C) shops should have the same price for the same kind of goods


  D) their country's getting rich was both good and bad to the people


  80. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?


  A) Big companies could not influence the government.


  B) A large number of markets were controlled by big companies.


  C) Many Americans were worried about the changes in their country.


  D) Some of the laws were in favor of customers.


 
 Questions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:


  A group of people who share the same interests and way of life is called a society. Sociology is the science that examines human society. The term sociology is derived from the Latin word socins, which means "companion, union of people."


  Sociologists are interested in how a society began and how it grew. They also study the levels within a society. For example, the child is part of the family, the family is part of the neighborhood, and the neighborhood is part of the community. There are many different groups, and sociologists are interested in the effect that these groups have on people.


  A Frenchman named Auguste Comte made sociology a separate science in the 1830s. He suggested that a new science was necessary to study a society of people. A famous book, Principles of Sociology, was published by an Eng- lishman, Herbert Spencer, in 1882. This book had an unprecedented effect on the science of sociology. In this book, Spencer theorized that a society's customs evolved, or grew, from very simple to more complicated and advanced.


  This theory shows the influence that Charles Darwin (who believed that man


  had evolved from very simple forms to the present human) had on Spencer.


  81. A good title for this selection is _______.


  A) What a Society is Made of


  B) Society


  C) How Sociology Began


  D) Sociology


  82. The word "levels" in Line 6 means _______.


  A) stages B) organizations


  C) standards D) classes


  83. We may conclude that _______.


  A) Sociology also studies the relationships between different groups


  B) A society consists chiefly of four social levels


  C) How a society began and grew is the main interest of sociologists


  D) There were no societies before the 1830s


  84. Spencer probably agreed with Darwin _______.


  A) that the present human developed from simple forms


  B) that there were simple and advanced societies


  C) in how a society developed


  D) in when a society began


  85. The book which greatly influenced sociology was written _______.


  A) in Latin B) in the 1830s


  C) by Darwin D) by Spencer


 
 Questions 86 to 90 are based on the following passage:


  For years, the Tobacco Institute has tried unsuccessfully to refute (反驳) the charge by health experts that cigarette smoking can be dangerous to your health. Now the Institute has taken a new track. In an advertising campaign last fall, the industry trade association ignored health questions and stressed that not smoking could be dangerous to local economy."Tobacco means $1,193,000,000 to Virginia," trumpeted one ad. "Virginia tobacco helps pave Virginia roads, build Virginia parks and support Virginia social programs. Tobacco means 90,000 Virginia jobs." The message was repeated with the appropriate dollar figures in six other tobacco states.


  The statistics (统计) are based on a study by the University of Pennsyl- vania's Wharton School, which calculates that, overall, the U.S. tobacco industry generates $30 billion in wages and earnings, $15.5 billion in capital investment and $22 billion in tax revenue (收入) each year."If you look at the economic contribution tobacco makes to America," says Edward Horrigan, Jr., Chairman of R.J. Reymolds Tobacco Co., "there's no reason for us to be ashamed of the business we are in."


  The American Cancer Society disagrees. While Virginia is collecting its $1.2 billion in tobacco revenue this year, the society said, 2,900 of its citizens will be victims of lung cancer. Thousands more, the society could add, will be victims of other diseases strongly associated with smoking. And the U.S. Surgeon General estimates the direct dollar costs of treating smoking-related illnesses nationally at more than $13 billion a year -- not to mention another $25 billion in lost wages and productivity.


  86. On what ground did the Tobacco Institute dispute with health experts in the past?


  A) The Tobacco Institute i nsisted that not smoking will harm local economy.


  B) The Tobacco Institute argued that much of the government's revenue comes from tobacco tax.


  C) The Tobacco Institute argued that cigarette smoking can be dangerous to your health.


  D) The Tobacco Institute insisted that cigarette smoking can't be dangerous to your health.


  87. "Tobacco means $1,193,000,000 to Virginia"(in Paragraph 1). This statement means _______.


  A) Virginia will produce $1,193,000,000 tobacco


  B) Tobacco is worth $1,193,000,000 in Virgina


  C) Virginia will collect $1,193,000,000 in tobacco revenue


  D) There is a heavy tax on tobacco in Virginia


  88. Which organization pays attention to the health warning?


  A) The industry trade association.


  B) R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co.


  C) The American Cancer Society.


  D) The Tobacco Institute.


  89. The U.S. Government's annual tobacco revenue is _______.


  A) $1.2 billion B) $30 billion


  C) $1,193,000,000 D) $22 billion


  90. Why does Edward Horrigan, Jr. say,"there's no reason for us to be ashamed of the business we are in"?


  A) Because he thinks that not smoking will affect the American economy.


  B) Because he thinks that tobacco is not harmful to people's health.


  C) Because he thinks that there is not enough evidence to prove the harmful effect of smoking.


  D) Because he thinks that tobacco will contribute to the health of the American people.


 
 答案:


  On Knock-off Products


  Nowadays, there emerge a great number of knock-off products in the market. They are made nearly the same as famous brand products with a much lower price and mostly in poor qualities.


  These products are popular among people, especially those who love but can’t afford the authentic ones.


  However, the popularity of knock-off products may bring about a series of problems. In the first place, making knock-off products is a blatant violation of intellectual property rights, which sours the normal market and hinders overseas companies from investing in Chinese market.


  Secondly, the knock-offs eat into the profits of honest producers of authentic goods. What’s worse, since the quality of knock-off goods cannot be guaranteed, consumers’ interest and safety may be at risk.


  In summary, some rules must be implemented to regulate the operation of market and prohibit the knock-offs. What’s more, consumers should be educated to realize the knock-offs’ negative influence on both individuals and society. If we want to smoothly advance the economic development, we must clear the barrier of knock-offs and make every made-in-China item trustworthy.

  2.分析与解答:根据文章第二段第四句话,选C。


  3.分析与解答:参见第二段中间部分,选D。


  4.分析与解答:interviewee指的是被接见者,被采访者。故应选A。


  5.分析与解答:根据文章最后一句可推断这是一篇前言,故选D。


  6.分析与解答:主题题,应把握全文选B。


  7.分析与解答:根据第三段第三句话,选B


  8.分析与解答:第四段主要写海参的“appetites”,故选C。


  9.分析与解答:见第五段第一句话,应选A。


  10.分析与解答:见第一段第三句话,应选D


 
 11.分析与解答:主旨题,首句点题,应选C。


  12.分析与解答:见第一段第二句话,和第五句话,选D。


  13.分析与解答:见第二段段首,选A


  14.分析与解答:见第一段最后一句话,选D


  15.分析与解答:见最后一段第四句话,答案为B。


  16.分析与解答:答案为D,推理题。根据本文第二句话:“An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge”,可以得知,不正确的个人选择会导致疾病的发生,而A和B在文章中未提及,C与本文无关,故D)是惟一正确选择。


  17.分析与解答:答案为A,词汇题。从上下文便可以判断出该短语的意思。文中提到的“live a completely sedentary life-style without any exercise”就暗示出“sedentary life-style”与exercise是矛盾的,由此就可以断定A最贴近原短语的意思,为正确答案。


  18.分析与解答:答案为B,细节题。根据最后一段的第一句话及第一段第二句,很显然A与文中的内容不符;尽管D是一个原因但不全面,只有B才是正确、全面的原因。而C中所述文中未提及,故C是错误答案。


  19.分析与解答:答案为C,细节题。在第二段中作者指出:Fries和Crapo通过比喻的方式指出“…to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide”,可见C为正确答案。


  20.分析与解答:答案为C,推理题。根据文章最后两句话,不难看出;Fries和Crapo认为,采取有统计数据显示可能缩短寿命的行为无异于自杀,而有利于健康的选择应是那些有统计数据显示可以提高生命力和延长寿命的行为,所以,哪些是有利于健康的行为,这要根据统计数据而定。因此只有C是正确的,而其他选择项则未提及。


 
 41.分析与解答:反义参照题,or前后相对应,答案为C. assert oneself是固定词组,意思是表现自己的权威与自信,与“or”后引导的“他们会继续欺侮你”对应。

  43.分析与解答:四个词意分别为A. 崩溃、瓦解,B. 损害,损毁,C. 拆除,破坏,D. 毁灭,破灭。根据句意,经济崩溃应选择A来表达。


  44.分析与解答:四个词意分别为A. 动员,B. 易动的,C. 警惕的,D. 敏捷的,根据句意,部队和红十字会应该被充分动员起来,所以选A。


  45.分析与解答:反义对比题,与deep相对应的应该是D. superficial 肤浅的,表面的。


  46.分析与解答:答案为A. contrive to do sth意思是想办法做某事。


  47.分析与解答:这是一道语境题,答案为C. sensational,意思是轰动的,耸人听闻的。


  48.分析与解答:与“would be like”相对应的应该是“insight”(觉察,领悟),全句意思是:当他说话时,她突然领悟到嫁给他的生活将多么令人不快。


  49.分析与解答:根据句意:我的眼睛很快就适应了在黑暗中看东西。应选D. accommodate to意思是使适应的意思。
