Part III READING COMPREHENSION (45 minutes, 50 points)

Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages for you to read. Read each

passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer [A],[B],[C] or [D], and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square bracket on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Most biologists are agreed that all the varied phenomena of life are ultimately explainable in terms of the same physical and chemical principles which define nonliving system. It naturally follows that when enough is known of the chemistry and physics of vital phenomena it may be possible to synthesize (综合，合成) living matter. An opposite view, widely held by biologists until present century, stated that some unique force, not explainable in terms of physics and chemistry, is associated with and controls life. Many of the phenomena that appeared to be so mysterious when first discovered have subsequently proved to be understandable without requesting a unique life force, and it is reasonable to suppose that future research will show that other aspects of life can also be explained by physical and chemical principles.

To differentiate the living from the non-living and then to separate living into plants and animals are difficult to do sharply and clearly. Organisms such as cats and dogs are clearly recognizable as animals but sponges, (海绵、海绵状物) for example, were considered to be plants until well into the nineteenth century, and there are single-celled organisms which, even today, are called animals by zoologists and plant by botanists(植物学家). Even the line between living and nonliving is rather difficult to draw, for the viruses, too small to be seen with an ordinary light microscope, can be considered either the simplest living things or very complex, but non-living, organic chemicals.

All living things have, to a greater or lesser degree, the properties of specific organization. Each kind of living organism is recognized by its characteristic form and appearance; the adult organism usually has a characteristic size. Nonliving things generally have much more variable shapes and sizes. Living things are not homogeneous, (同质的) but are made of different parts, each with special functions; thus the bodies of animals and plants are characterized by a specific, complex organization. The structural and functional unit of both animals and plants is the cell. It is the simplest bit of living matter that can exist independently and exhibit all the characteristics of life.

41. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to paragraph 1?

[A] Biologists think that life is controlled by some unique force which can be explained in

terms of physics and chemistry.

[B]The phenomena of life are mysterious, so they are difficult to understand unless we use the theory of a unique life force.

[C]Today most biologists know a lot about the chemistry and physics of the phenomena of life, therefore, they can make living things by combining chemicals.

[D]Most of the biologists think that the physical and chemical principles that define non-living systems can one day explain different phenomena of life. 42. What is the main idea of paragraph 2?

[A] The examples of both living things and nonliving chemicals. [B] The devices used to examine very small organisms.

[C] The difficulty in drawing a clear line between the living and non-living and between the

plants and animals.

[D] The way of telling the living from the non-living and animals from plants. 43. According to paragraph 2, sponges

[A] are thought to be plants in the twentieth century [B] were considered to be animals in the eighteenth century [C] are thought to be animals today

[D] can be considered either living things or organic chemicals 44. Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the cell? [A] It never exists independently.

[B] It can exhibit all the characteristic of life.

[C] It is the structural and functional unit of living things. [D] It is the simplest bit of living things. 45. This passage is most probably taken from

[A] a news report [B] a story [C] a specialized book [D] a science fiction Passage Two
