Part III Reading comprehension

Passage 1

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families．Television is the most significant of these influences，because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school．

Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children．The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them．Studies indicate that，when children are exposed to violence，they many become aggressive or insecure.

Parents are also concerned at，out the commercials that their children see on television． Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children．And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers．

Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of The most famous of these is Sesame Street，which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet(字母)and numbers．It also flies to teach children useful things about the world in which they live．

Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality，some critics argue that all television，whether educational or not，is harmful to children．These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive(被动的)consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it．

61．Which of the following statements is NOT based on the passage?

A．Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children B Television has much influence on children

C Both parents and their children like watching educational television． D．Some critics think that television is no good for children． 62．In what ways do children suffer from television? A．They become the victims of social violence B They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work

C The programs make the children lose interest in the world．

D The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money 63．Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ____

A．they think that their children ore not old enough to handle advertising B．commercials teach children alphabet and number

C．commercials help to sell products D．they don’t like commercials 64．Educational television is widely appreciated because

A．it does have the same commercials as others B．it offers programs for both children and their parents

C many parents like the programs it offers for their children D．children can learn some school

耶鲁专升本培训 http://www.yeluedu.org

subjects before they go to school

65．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A．Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Young Minds B．Television Is More Harmful than Educational

C．Television’s Influence on Children D More Education Television

Passage 2

We can make mistakes at any age．Some mistakes we make are about money．But most mistakes are about people．“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen??‘When I got that great job，did Jerry really feel good about it，as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” When we look back．doubts like these can make US feel bad．But when we look back．It’s too late

Why do we go wrong about our friends-or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning．And if we don’t really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words．Suppose someone tells you．‘‘you’re a lucky dog”．Is he really on your side? if he says．“You’re a lucky guy”or“You’re a lucky gal”．That’s being friendly．But“lucky dog”?There’s a bit of envy in those words Maybe he doesn’t see it himself．But bringing in the‘‘dog”bit puts you down a little．What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck．

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking．Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think．The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake

66．From the questions in the first paragraph we can learn that the speaker _____ A．feels happy，thinking of how nice his friends were to him

B．feels he may not have“read” his friends’true feelings correctly C．thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend，Helen D is sorry that his friends let him down

67．In the second paragraph．the author uses the example of“You’re a lucky dog”to show that ．

A．the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly

B this saying means the same as “You’re a lucky guy” or “You’re a lucky gal”

C sometimes the words used by a speaker give a clue to the feeling behind the words D．the word“dog”shouldn’t be used to apply to people 68．This passage tries to tell you how to ______

A．avoid mistakes about money and friends B．bring the“dog’’bit into our conversation C．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you D keep people friendly without trusting them

69．In listening to a person．the important thing is ______ A．to notice his tone，his posture，and the look in his eyes B to listen to how he pronounces his words

C．to check his words against his manner，his tone of voice，and his posture D．not to believe what he says

70．If you followed the advice of the writer，you would ______

A be able to get the real meaning of what people say to you B．avoid any mistakes while talking with people who envy you

C．not lose real friends who say things that do not please you D．be able to observe people as

耶鲁专升本培训 http://www.yeluedu.org

they are talking to you

Passage 3

Why was Bastille important to the citizens of Paris? The building of the Bastille had been started in 1370 under Charles V By the seventeenth century it had stopped to be important for defense．Cardinal Richelieu turned it into a prison．It was not an ordinary prison to punish common crimes．Its huge doors closed only on enemies of the King The Bastille’s workings were secret．Prisoners were taken to it in closed vehicles．Soldiers on guard duty had to stand with their faces to the wall NO talking was allowed Worst of all，a prisoner never knew if he would be there a day，a week，a year，or forever．Only the King’s letter could set him free

Over the years the number of arrests by King’S letter had become fewer．By the time of its fall．most of the prisoners were writers who had written against the corruptions(贪污腐败)of the government Voltaire，the famous French writer，spent a year there in 1717～1718，and another 12 days in 1726.

For those who believed in free speech and free thinking，the Bastille stood for everything evil．The day it was captured，only seven prisoners were found inside．Still，the Bastille was hated by the people It was a symbol of the King’s complete power. 71．The Bastille had been a prison _____

A．since the time of Charles V B．since 1370 C．before the seventeenth century D．since the time of Cardinal Richelieu

Passage 4

Almost every family buys as least one copy of a newspaper every day．Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers But why do people read newspapers?

Five hundred years ago，news of important happenings--battles lost and won，kings or rulers overthrown(推翻)or killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another．The

耶鲁专升本培训 http://www.yeluedu.org

news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate．Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen．

Apart from supplying news from all over the world，newspapers give us a lot of other useful information There are weather reports，radio，television and film guides，book reviews，stories，and of course．advertisements．The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products．They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space，but it is worth the money for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country For those who produce newspapers，advertisements are also very important．Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit．
