Part III Reading Comprehension

Directions: There are four 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 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

The lion may be the most famous of all the predators （食肉动物） of Africa, but one of the most fascinating is the wild dog. Wild dogs are fairly small, averaging seventy pounds, with round, fanlike ears that look too big for their heads. They have shaggy brown coats with scattered patches of white. One of these animals by itself looks harmless or even comical. But when they band together, in packs of up to forty, the wild dogs become dangerous predators that tirelessly run down and kill animals that are many times their own size.

Wild dogs have to be good hunters in order to feed their large families; a single female can have as many as sixteen pups at a time. But usually only one female in a pack breeds at a time, and all the pack members

《大学英语2》 3 / 8

help to care for the young. At first, the pups feed on their mother’s milk. Then the other dogs begin to bring back meat from the kill, carrying it in their stomachs and throwing it up when the pups come running to them to beg for food. Finally, the young dogs begin to go along on hunts. At this time one of the most striking differences between wild dogs and lions can be seen. When a pride of lions makes a kill, the adult males always eat their fill first. But the wild dogs let the pups feed first, even when they are still too young to really help in making the kill.

（ ）31. A good title for this passage would be ______. A. Africa’s Wild Dogs B. Killers of the Plains C. Predators of Africa D. The Greedy Lion （ ）32. Wild dogs are dangerous predators because they ______. A. are very fierce B. hunt in large packs C. are very intelligent D. have unusually large litters

（ ）33. You can assume that if all the females in a large pack had pups, ______. A. only the father would help feed them B. lions would find and kill them C. the mothers would fight each other D. most of the pups would starve

（ ）34. Lions are mentioned in this passage for ______. A. comparison B. excitement C. comic relief D. accuracy

（ ）35. Striking in the second paragraph is used to mean ______. A. remarkable B. terrifying C. important D. insignificant

Passage 2

Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles

《大学英语2》 4 / 8

means, and which cycle each member of the family has.

You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make you fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗) your cycle to some extents by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam(鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.

Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

（ ）36. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______. A. he is a lazy person

B. he refuses to follow his own energy cycle C. he is not sure when his energy is low D. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening

（ ）37. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage? A. Unawareness of energy cycles B. Familiar monologues

C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle

D. Attempts to work efficiently cycle of other family members

（ ）38. If one wants to work more efficiently at his point in the morning, he should ______. A. change his energy cycle B. overcome his laziness C. get up earlier than usual D. go to bed earlier

（ ）39. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______. A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work B. help you to control your temper early in the day C. enable you to concentrate on your routine D. keep your energy cycle under control all day （ ）40. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?

A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps to save one’s energy. B. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.

C. Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle. D. Children have energy cycles, too.

Passage 3

The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes for sale, you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbors and some to the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.

If you take care of a sick person to get money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a worker or a driver or a doctor, he is producing goods or service for the market.

When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in shops, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the boss hires you to drive a truck, he is buying your labor in the market. The market may seem to be something abstract. However, it’s very concrete to each person who is making and selling something. It’s telling if nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the information. It’s telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do. （ ）41. Which of the following cannot produce for the market? A. Growing rice for sale. B. Writing a book for readers. C. Making the bed for oneself. D. Working as manager of a company.

（ ）42. You are buying from the market when you ______. A. look after you children B. eat or drink at a restaurant C. borrow a book from the library D. ask your manager for a sick leave （ ）43. In what way is the market abstract?

A. It tells you whether to continue growing tomatoes. B. People use energies and resources in doing anything. C. You can buy almost anything you need in the market. D. Having a job seems to have nothing to do with the market. （ ）44. “Concrete” probably means ______ in the passage. A. possible B. impossible

C. almost the same as “abstract” D. the opposite of “abstract”

《大学英语2》 6 / 8

（ ）45. Which may be the best title of the passage?

A. What Is the Market B. Selling and Buying

C. Things the Market Sells D. What Can the Market Do For You

Passage 4

The three types of solar equipment used so far are the furnace, the still, and the cell. Solar furnaces heat water or air, providing a heat supply for a building. Some solar furnaces can produce temperatures as high as 7500 degrees Fahrenheit, which means that they can be used in industry.

Solar stills are especially important because they can provide fresh water fairly cheaply. They can rapidly take the salt out of sea water. One very simple type of still can also get small amounts of water from the earth – even in a desert.

The most highly developed and most useful type of solar power equipment is the solar cell. One of the cell’s biggest advantages is that it can be made small enough to carry. It can also be made large enough to produce enough power to run a car. Another advantage of the solar cell is that it has a very long life. It is still very expensive, but when ways are discovered to produce it more cheaply, it will be used very widely. （ ）46. A cell is a ____.

A. prison B. battery C. unit D. cave

（ ）47. A furnace ______.

A. takes salt from water. B. heats water or air. C. runs a car.

D. provides fresh water.

（ ）48. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of the solar cells?

A. It can be made small enough to carry. B. It can be made large enough to run a car. C. It has a very long life. D. It is very expensive.

（ ）49. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Solar furnaces can’t be used in industry. B. Solar cells are very cheap.

C. One type of solar still can get water even from the desert.

D. Solar still is the most developed and most useful type of solar energy equipment.
