When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the information you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog. Words are regarded as so important that it is not so easy to see

the fact that human communication often (1)

occurswithout words. Communication without words, (2)

This also (17) apliesto a person who won't look you in the eye or who keeps their face down and turned away from you. Either what they are saying is a lie, or they are nervous and (18) unsureof themselves. They might even be lying to you. How many times have you (19) shakehands with a person? Sometimes the other person will hold your hand strongly and shake it firmly. Other times, you feel like you're shaking something dead and lifeless. The (20) differenceis clearly seen. The strong, firm handshake usually is given by a person who is sure of himself. The lifeless shake is usually the opposite. People who give these types of handshakes are possibly nervous, shy, or afraid of interaction with other people.

老师评语： Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题： 分) Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or dialog. Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the

beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean. As he got closer he called out, \ The young man paused, looking up and replied, \starfish (海星) in the ocean.\

\

\they'll die.\

\beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!\ The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, \

There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will have the power to shape the future.

B. all of us can help to shape our future

C. wise men are sometimes stupid

D. young people are actually wiser than old people Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog. For years, it's been assumed that the inside environment limits the variety of plants that people are subjected to. Lately, however, plants that are usually only grown outdoors have found their way into inside spaces. There are a few simple reasons why this is.

The modern inside environment can be a good place for a wide variety of outdoor plants. Plants that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor

The writer told this story in order to tell us that ________. A. every one of us is clever

weather can be protected by the inside spaces, where temperatures are easily controlled. Plants that used to be found only outside, such as trees, have become more and more popular as decorations inside houses. Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in hot places, have begun to grow well in inside places. A large number of smaller plants have also found their way into homes.

One reason that the modern home has made exotic (引进的) outdoor plants more practical is the modern use of windows. In the past windows were used less often in buildings than they are today. It is partly because of the ability of large windows to admit a large quantity of light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the same time, that many outdoor plants have been able to make their move inside. It is true that most of the plants that have been successful in moving inside have been small. Some of the best-suited varieties are the vines (藤本植物). Many vines that grow in natural locations make excellent decorations where other plants prove difficult to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside, it is not likely the larger varieties can be used. Unfortunately, most homes just don't have the space to grow a monkey tree. 6.

B. the difficulty of moving monkey trees into homes

C. growing plants inside houses

D. the best suited trees 7.

B. the plants that could grow inside were from hot places

C. the temperature in the inside environment could be controlled

D. the larger plants grew better inside. 8.

It is implied or suggested in the passage that ________. People used to believe that ________.

A. the plants that could grow inside were limited The passage is mainly concerned with ________. A. the ability of large windows

A. there are more plants today than ever before

B. people like to use plants as decorations in their houses

C. people move plants into their houses to save them

D. the uses of windows in the past were not practical 9.

B. to grow plants and trees inside

C. to provide heat and light

D. to control the temperature

10. It is not likely that large plants will move inside because

________.

A. the weather is not suitable

B. they cannot be moved

C. they cannot be controlled

D. there is not enough space Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog. These days we are so accustomed to instant communication, it is hard to imagine the excitement that was created in the nineteenth century when cables, which were used to transmit telegraph messages, were laid.

Cable laying proved to be immensely difficult. The cable that carried the first telegraph messages between England and France in the autumn of 1850 had a very short life. The day after, a fisherman \the cable by mistake. Thinking that the copper wire at the center of the thick cable was gold, he cut a piece off to show his friends. However, a new cable was laid, and soon news could travel

One function of modern windows is ________. A. to allow fresh air in

quickly across Europe. But there was still no way of sending messages between Europe and America.

When the Atlantic Telegraph Company was formed in 1856, a serious attempt was made to \miles of cable. As no single ship could carry such a weight, two sailing vessels, the Agamemnon and the Niagara, shared the job. The intention was that after setting out in opposite directions, they should meet in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean where the two cables would be connected together. But the ships had hardly covered 300 miles when the cable broke. In 1858, a second attempt was made. This time, though greatly hindered by storms, the ships were successful. There was great rejoicing a few months later, when after the combined efforts of both ships, Britain and America were at last connected by cable and the Queen of England was able to speak to the President of the United States. This cable, however, only lasted eleven weeks. Further attempts were postponed until 1864 when Brunei's steamship, the Great Eastern, set forth. This powerful ship did the whole job by itself, but again messages could not travel freely because the cable developed a fault. While it was being mended, it broke, leaving 1300 miles of worthless cable lying on the ocean floor.

But two years later the Great Eastern completed a highly successful journey laying cable, and since then it has become possible to send messages to all parts of the world.

11. When were the first cables in the world laid?

A. In the nineteenth century.

B. In the early twentieth century.

C. In the eighteenth century.

D. In the 1940s.

12. What happened to the first cable between England and France?

A. It didn't work at all because there was something wrong with its quality.

B. A fisherman mistook it for a long fish.

C. It was broken by the violent waves in the English Channel.

D. Someone cut it.

No other object from Earth has ever made such a trip. The unmanned spacecraft is called Voyager-2. It will fly past Neptune at four hours, Greenwich Mean Time, Friday (August 25, 1989).

Voyager-2 weighs just one ton. It is moving 27 kilometers a second. As it flies past Neptune, it will get within 5000 kilometers of the planet's north pole. For the first time, scientists will get a close look at a planet that is more than 4000-million kilometers away from Earth. We know very little about Neptune. From Earth, even through powerful telescopes, the planet looks just like a fuzzy blue-green ball. We have learned some things, however. For example, Neptune is about four times bigger than Earth. It is mostly gas with only a small solid center. It has several moons. And like the other distant planets in our solar system, it has rings. The amount of sunlight reaching Neptune is about 1000 times less than the amount reaching Earth. So we know it is cold, about 212 degrees below zero Celsius.

Voyager-2 will tell us much more about Neptune. It is sending detailed pictures and thousands of pieces of information back to Earth during its flight. Thirty-eight listening centers on four continents are receiving the information. Scientists expect to spend many years attempting to understand the meaning of all this new information. The trip to Neptune has been a long one. Voyager-2 and another spacecraft, Voyager-1, were launched 12 years ago. The goal was to explore the planets, Jupiter and Saturn. When that work was done, scientists redirected Voyager-2 to the planet Uranus. And three years ago, they used the gravity of Uranus to direct the spacecraft to Neptune.
