Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes) Section A

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage

A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you 47 the two to do something for your local 48 ?

It may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to 49 it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.

50 , a biodegradable (生物可降解的)mobile phone was introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage 51 to recycle.

Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other 52 and can be hard or soft. and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic 53 . British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it 54 nitrates(硝酸盐). These feed the seed and help the flower grow.

Engineers have designed a small 55 window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away.

Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.

Education is a long process that not only provides us with basic skills such as literacy and numeracy, but is also essential in shaping our future lives. From the moment we enter 47 as small children, and as we progress through primary and secondary education, we are laying the foundation for the life ahead of us. We must 48 ourselves to work hard so that we can pass exams and gain the qualifications we will need to 49 a good job. We must also acquire 50 life skills so that we can fit in and work with those around us. And of course health education helps us to understand how we can stay 51 and healthy.

For most people, this process ends when they are in their mid-to-late teens. For others, however, it is the beginning of a(n) 52 of learning. After they finish school, many progress to 53 education where they will learn more useful skills such as computer literacy or basic business management. Others will enroll in a program of 54 education at a university where, with hard work, they will have the opportunity to graduate after three or four years with a well-earned degree. After that, they may work for a while before 55 to study for a higher degree—an M.A., for example, or a PhD. And if they live a long way from a college or university, they might follow a correspondence course using mail and the Internet. In fact, it is 56 due to the proliferation of computers that many people, who have not been near a school for many years, have started to study again and can proudly class themselves as mature students.

Section B

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the basis for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.

1

Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It not only includes \behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed (嗅出)something suspicious in the grain pile.

Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 \—string of alphabetic or numerical characters—ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.

The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person's memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and the king of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals. 57. Which of the following is TRUE about memory?

[A] It helps us perceive things happening around us every day. [B] It is based on the decisions we made in the past. [C] It is rooted in our past habits and skills.

[D] It connects our past experiences with the present.

58. According to the passage, memory is helpful in one's life in the following aspects EXCEPT that ________. [A] it involves a change in one's behavior [B] it keeps information for later use

[C] it warns people not to do things repeatedly[D] it enables one to remember events that happened in the past 59. What is the author's view about computers and human beings in terms of intelligence?

[A] Computers have better memory than a child does. [B] Computers are as intelligent as a teenager is. [C] Computers can understand as many as 100,000 words. [D] Human beings are far superior to computers. 60. What is the major characteristic of man's memory capacity according to the author? [A] It can be expanded by language. [C] It may keep all the information in the past.

[B] It can remember all the combined words. [D] It may change what has been stored in it. 61. Human beings make themselves different from other animals by _______.

[A] having the ability to perceive danger [B] having a far greater memory capacity

[C] having the ability to recognize faces and places on sight [D] having the ability to draw on past experiences Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based in the following passage.

\are thinking of \their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family— hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.

For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. The man's first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife's to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.

Readers of novels like Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl's parents, that is, it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results: a girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.

62. What does the author mean by \

[A] Different families have different ways of life. [B] Different definitions could be given to the word. [C] Different nations have different families. [D] Different times produce different families. 63. For an English family, the husband's duty is ________.

[A] supporting the family while the wife is financial [B] defending the family while the wife is running the home [C] financial while the wife is running the home [D] independent while the wife is dependent 64. Everything is decided in a family ________.

[A] by the couple [B] with the help of their parents [C] by brothers and sisters [D] with the help of aunts and uncles 65. What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?

[A] It is the best book on marriage. [B] It is a handbook of marriage.

2

[C] It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past.

[D] It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.

66. With regard to marriage in Britain, present day girls differ from form er time girls in ________. [A] the right to marry [C] choosing husbands [B] more parental support [D] social position Section B

Passage One

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

The Food and Drug Administration said on Wednesday that it is trying to track down as many as 386 piglets that may have been genetically engineered and wrongfully sold into the U.S. food supply.

The focus of the FDA investigation is on pigs raised by researchers at the University of Illinois in Urbana Champaign. They engineered the animals with two genes: one is a cow gene that increases milk production in the sow; the other, a synthetic gene, makes the milk easier for piglets to digest. The goal was to raise bigger pigs faster.

There has been no evidence that either genetically altered plants or animals actually trigger human illness, but critics warn that potential side effects remain unknown. University officials say their tests showed the piglets were not born with the altered genes, but FDA rules require even the offspring of genetically engineered animals to be destroyed so they won't get into the food supply.

The FDA, in a quickly arranged news conference on Wednesday prompted by inquiries by USA TODAY, said the University of Illinois would face possible sanctions and fines for selling the piglets to a livestock broker, who in turn sold them to processing plants.

Both the FDA and the university say the pigs that entered the market do not pose a risk to consumers. But the investigation follows action by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in December to fine a Texas company that contaminated 500,000 bushels of soybeans with corn that had been genetically altered to produce a vaccine for pigs. Critics see such cases as evidence of the need for more government oversight of a burgeoning(新兴的)area of scientific research. \is a small incident, but it's incidents like this that could destroy consumer confidence and export confidence,\on biotech. The countries to which we export are going to look at this.\

The University of Illinois says it tested the DNA of every piglet eight times to make sure that the animal hadn't inherited the genetic engineering of its mother. Those piglets that did were put back into the study. Those that didn't were sold to the pig broker. \says Charles Zukoski, vice chancellor for research.

But FDA deputy commissioner Lester Crawford says that under the terms of the university's agreement with the FDA, the researchers were forbidden to remove the piglets without FDA approval. \check with FDA to see whether or not the animals could be sold on the open market. And they were not to be used under any circumstance for food.\

The FDA is responsible for regulating and overseeing transgenic animals because such genetic manipulation is considered an unapproved animal drug.

57. The 386 piglets wrongfully sold into food supply are from ________.

[A] Europe [B] an American research organization [C] a meat processing plant [D] an animal farm 58. The purpose of the transgenic engineering research is to ________.

[A] get pigs of larger size in a shorter time [B] make sows produce more milk [C] make cows produce more milk [D] make pigs grow more lean meat 59. The 4th paragraph shows that the University of Illinois ________. [A] was criticized by the FDA [B] is in great trouble [C] is required by the FDA to call back the sold piglets D] may have to pay the penalty

60. The FDA declares that the wrongfully sold piglets ________.

[A] may have side effects on consumers [B] may be harmful to consumers

[C] are safe to consumers [D] may cause human illness 61. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.

[A] all the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering [B] part of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering [C] none of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering [D] half of the offspring have their mothers' genetic engineering Passage Two

Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

A class action lawsuit has been filed against a prominent Toronto doctor by patients who allege he injected a banned substance into their faces for cosmetic purposes. The doctor had already been investigated for more than three years for using the liquid silicone, a product not authorized for use in Canada.

3

Some patients say they are now suffering health problems and think the liquid silicone may be to blame. One of those patients is Anna Barbiero. She says her Toronto dermatologist told her he was using liquid silicone to smooth out wrinkles. what she says he didn't tell her is that it isn't approved for use in Canada. \was and he just called it 'liquid gold',\Barbiero remembers. After her last treatment, Anna discovered Dr. Sheldon Pollack had been ordered to stop using the silicone two years earlier by Health Canada. Experts say silicone can migrate through the body, and cause inflammation and deformities.

\带头)a lawsuit against the doctor, who her lawyer thinks might involve up to 100 patients injected with the same material. \of his stature would use an unauthorized product on a patient because he thought it was okay, is really very disturbing,\says lawyer Douglas Elliott.

Ontario's College of Physicians and Surgeons is also investigating Dr. Pollack to see if, in fact, he continued to use the silicone after agreeing to stop and whether he wrote in patient records that he used another legal product when he used silicone. However, in a letter to the College, Dr. Pollack wrote that he had always told patients that the silicone was not approved for sale in Canada, and had warned them of the risks. And in Barbiero's case, \first visit, prior to her ever receiving IGLS treatment, I specifically informed her that the material was not approved for sale in Canada by the Health Protection Branch and that I did receive the material from outside the country ...I would like to emphasize that, as is evident on Ms. Barbiero's chart, I drew a specific diagram on the chart which I carefully discussed with and explained to Ms. Barbiero as I did with every other patient to explain the nature and likelihood of complications and the reasons and consequences of those possible complications.\

Dr. Pollack declined to speak to CTV News, or to have his lawyer discuss the case. None of the allegations have been proven in court. But the case raises questions about the ability of governing bodies to monitor doctors. \larger message and that is: buyer beware,\负有义务的)on consumers to do their research.\

62. Doctor Sheldon Pollack was charged that ________.

[A] whether he still has illegal treatment on his patients [B] how many patients have been abused

[C] if he told his patients about the risk [D] how much money he got from his illegal treatment 65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? [A] Barbiero took the treatment after being told the risk.

[B] Dr. Sheldon Pollack started his work with the patients' agreement to accept the potential risk. [C] A famous doctor should be authorized to use something he thinks okay on patients. [D] Barbiero is suffering a lot.

66. From the ending part of the passage, we can conclude that________.

[A] Barbiero will win the lawsuit [B] Dr. Sheldon Pollack will win the lawsuit

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the center.

An adult giraffe's head is about six feet above its heart. This means that to 67 enough blood up to the brain the circulatory 68 must be strong enough to keep the blood at very high pressure.

Biologists have known for some time that giraffes solve this problem by having 69 high blood pressure, about 70 that of human beings. But an international team of biologists began to 71 about this. If giraffes have such high blood pressure, they should have a 72 problem with swelling in their legs and feet. Why don't giraffes have swollen feet?

Giraffes should have 73 problem, too. Every time they bend heads 74 to drink, the blood should 75 to their heads and have a hard time 76 back up (when the head is down) to the heart. How come giraffes don't black out when they drink?

The answer to the 77 feet problem, the researchers found, is that giraffes have 78 the researchers call a \anti-gravity suit\82 . As a result, the blood vessels in the leg cannot swell.

Therefore, the blood has nowhere to go but back to the heart. What about blood rushing to the head 83 the giraffe

bends down to drink? The researchers found that the giraffe's jugular vein, which 84 blood from the head back to the heart, has lots of one-way valves in it. In the giraffe's neck, there are lots of muscles that flex and relax repeatedly as the animal moves its head and sucks 85 drinking water. By squeezing the valved jugular vein, they 86 blood moving back to the heart even while the animal is drinking.

2. 网上购物有很多好处，但也有不少问题 3. 我的建议

On-line Shopping

Nowadays, with the rapid development of information technology, online shopping has gained great popularity among more and more web users. For example, it is fashionable for youngsters to purchase daily essentials, such as books, clothes, electrical equipment, on some famous website, like Taobao, EBay and Alibaba.

Undoubtedly speaking, online shopping has many advantages. Firstly, compared with traditional shopping, it’s very convenient. What you need to do is just clicking your mouse and waiting instead of going out by foot or driving. Secondly, more choices than real store are another attraction to customers. However, in spite of convenience and more choices of online shopping, we cannot turn a blind eye to its disadvantages. Obviously, quality problem is its first disadvantage. It’s common that articles aren’t so good just as they are described online that customers always buy fake commodities. In addition, it’s troublesome and annoying for many customers to make a change when they are not satisfied with what they bought online.

As a college student, I like online shopping but I expected that effective measures should be taken to make it better。Specifically speaking, government should work out strict regulations and rules to prevent unfaithful and unlawful activities of online shop owners. Only by this way can online shopping become really safe and attract an increasing number of customers.
