Please type your answers on the web page.[题数 :10;分数:10 分 阅读理解 ??Directions:In this section there are some passages. Each passage is followed by some questio the passage and make the best choice to complete each question or unfinished statement. Then type th Passage1 Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem -- how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus's six buildings comfortable. Some parts of most modern buildings--theaters and offices as well as classrooms -- are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be airconditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called "heat recovery". A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University's system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and reuse it in others. Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, overweight male genius. 31. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus?____ [A] The heat is supplied by human bodies. [B] The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heat-emitting objects. [C] The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuel. [D] The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heatemitting objects, and conventional fuel. 32. The technique of heat recovery is used to ____. [A] find out the source of heat [B] produce a special form of air conditioning [C] provide heat for the hot water system [D] collect and reuse heat 33. Which of the following persons would produce the least amount of heat?____ [A] A fat female who studies hard. [B] A thin female who does not study hard. [C] A fat male who does not study hard. [D] A thin male who studies hard. 34. In the last sentence, the "hottest prospect" refers to ____. [A] the person who produces most heat [B] the person who suffers most from heat [C] the person who takes in most heat [D] the person who withstands most heat 35. A good title for this passage would be____. [A] Modern Building's Heat System [B] A New Heat Recovery System in Pittsburgh [C] A Novelty in Heating System [D] Recovery of Body's Heat Passage2 The American expression "shoo-in" means someone or something that seems sure to win a race or competition. Before a big football game, supporters of each team are certain to argue about which side will win. Sometimes, however, one team appears so much stronger than the others that everyone agrees it will win. The stronger team is a shoo-in. There is no way that it can lose. The expression shoo-in comes from horse racing. It comes from the word "shoo." That's not the shoe we wear on our foot. It's another word, S-H-O-O. To shoo is an expression hundreds of years old that means to urge a person or animal to move in a desired direction. Many years ago, dishonest riders sometimes agreed secretly to control their horses so that one chosen horse would win the race. All but one of the riders would hold back their horses. The chosen rider would shoo his horse ahead of the others, and win the race. The other riders would secretly bet large amounts of money that the chosen horse would win. The public soon learned about such races. They began to call the winner of such a race a "shoo-in." These days, people use shoo-in to describe any athlete or competitor that seems certain to win, even without cheating. American runner Edwin Moses won more than one hundred races before he ran the hurdles race in the nineteen eighty-four Olympic games. Everyone said Moses was a shoo-in, that he could not lose. And they were right. He won the gold medal. 36. One of the dishonest riders was sure to win the race because ____. [A] the other riders had agreed to fail in the race [B] he used to be best at riding [C] the public had confidence in him [D] he could control his horse easily 37. The reason why American runner Edwin Moses was regarded as a "shoo-in" is ____. [A] owing to his honest character [B] due to his great effort shown in more than one hundred races [C] that he won over 100 competitions before the 1984 Olympic games [D] that the old meaning of "shoo-in" had changed 38. Which of the following statements is NOT true?____ [A] "Shoo-in" originated in the word "shoo". [B] The public did not know they were being cheated. [C] Some riders bet a lot of money on the chosen horse. [D] US runner Moses deserved a shoo-in. 39. The main idea of this passage is that "shoo-in" ____. [A] is used to admire a person who seems to be sure to win a race [B] is a word used to describe a dishonest person [C] is used for any athlete or competitor that seems too clever to be cheated [D] is used for anyone or anything that is certain of winning a game 40. This selection can best be titled ____. [A] Be Sure to Win [B] Shoo-in, a Sure Winner [C] Winner in a Competition [D] The Birth of Shoo-in Passage 3 Will America produce enough competent workers to meet the nation's needs in the 21th Century? That question lies at the heart of the most recent dispute over this country. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 21 million new workers will be needed by the year 2000, and the fastest growing occupations will be those that require the most educational preparation. A report predicts that the current average skill level of 21-to-25-year-old is 40 percent lower than the skill-level that will be required of the new workers needed by that year. Yet between now and the year 2000, about 80 percent of new workers will be women and minorities, groups whose members have ever lagged in educational achievement. Businessmen, educators and politicians are all concerned. The basis of the concern is the simple fact that the natural pool from which America has historically drawn new workers -- young adults -- is becoming mainly made up of minorities. Populations overlooked or ignored -- because there were more than enough young white males to fill the nation's job demands -- are now the focus of concern about the future workforce. The report says: “ As America heads toward a more demanding skill-intensive economy, a literate, educated workforce is essential to our ability to compete in the world market. Unless we act now, we will face a serious shortage of skilled workers." It should be clear, from the above, that much of this concern about the future of America's workforce may not be unreasonable. The nation will become more dependent on women and minority workers; at the same time they will become better trained and better educated. And while many worry that there may be too few workers by the year 2000, the BIS has noted that this may not reflect "an overall lack of workers," but the declining numbers in the younger age groups in the labor force. In fact, the BIS reported, "The workforce of the future will be older." Of course, this is another question to this topic. 41. The question, meeting the nation's needs of workers, becomes ____in America. [A] a serious problem [B] the key point of recent discussion [C] the one concerned by the whole nation [D] a problem in every mind 42. By the year 2,000, the required workers would ____. [A] be new [B] go in for the fastest growing occupations [C] have received higher education [D] reach 21 million totally 43. 80 percent of the new workers will come from ____. [A] white groups [B] other groups except the white [C] black women [D] black and white women 44. What is the focus of concern about the future workforce?____ [A] Less attention is paid to the qualities of populations. [B] More than enough young white males will fill the nation's job demands. [C] More minorities will fill the nation's job demands. [D] All of the above. 45. We would be short of skilled workers if ____ [A] we didn't show great concern for this matter. [B] we ignored the shortage of skilled workers. [C] we could not have literate, educated workforce. [D] we didn't take effective measures to improve our education. Passage 4 Marriage is still a popular institution in the United States, but divorce is becoming almost as "popular". Most American people get married, but at the present time, fifty percent of American marriages end up in divorce. However, four out of five divorced people do not stay single. They get married a second time to new partners. Sociologists tell us that in the next century, most American people will marry three or four times in one life-time. Alvin Toffler, an American sociologist, calls this new social form serial marriages. In his book Future Shock, Toffler gives many reasons for this change in American marriage. In modern society, people's lives don't stay the same for very long. American frequently change their jobs, their homes, and their circle of friends. So the person who was a good husband or wife ten years ago is sometimes not as good ten years later. After some years of marriage, a husband or wife can feel that their lives have become very different, and they don't share the same interests any more. For this reason, Toffler says, people in the twenty-first century will not plan to marry only one person for an entire lifetime. They will plan to stay married to one person for perhaps five or ten years, and then marry another. Most Americans will expect to have a " marriage career" that includes three or four marriages. 46. The word "institution" line 1 most probably means ____. [A] a social practice [B] a social organization [C] a state law [D] an established habit 47. In the United States ____. [A] marriage is less popular than divorce now [B] remaining single is becoming more and more popular now [C] divorce is as popular as it was [D] remarriage is getting more popular now 48. The percentage of remarriage among divorced American is ____. [A] fifty percent [B] eighty percent [C] forty percent [D] ninety percent 49. One of the reasons for the change in American marriages is ____. [A] difference in interests [B] difference in making friends [C] difference in choosing jobs [D] difference in family background 50. In the twenty-first century, American's attitude towards remarried people will be ____. [A] suspicious [B] critical [C] fussy [D] approving Passage 5 You do not need every word to understand the meaning of what you read. In fact, too much emphasis on individual words both slows your speed and reduces your comprehension. You will be given the chance to prove this to yourself, but meanwhile, let us look at the implications. First, any habit which slows clown your silent reading to the speed at which you speak, or read aloud, is inefficient. If you point to each word as you read, or move your head, or form the words with your lips, you read poorly. Less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency. One is "saying" each word silently by moving your tongue or throat or vocal cords; another is "hearing" each word as you read. These are habits which should have been outgrown long ago. The beginning reader is learning how letters can make words, how written words are pronounced, and how sentences are put together. Your reading purpose is quite different; it is to understand meaning. It has been estimated that up to 75% of the words in English sentences are not really necessary for conveying the meaning. The secret of silent reading is to seek out those key words and' phrases which carry the thought, and to pay less attention to words which exist only for the sake of grammatical completeness. An efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the page aloud. Unconsciously perhaps, he takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time. If he "says" or "hears" words to himself, they are selected ones, said for emphasis. 51. This passage is mainly about ____. [A] improving eye movements [B] reading more wisely [C] eliminating poor reading habits [D] concentrating while reading 52. Saying each word to yourself as you read ____. [A] improves comprehension [B] increases reading speed [C] prevents understanding [D] hinders reading efficiency 53. Your reading purpose should be ____. [A] to understand all the words [B] to make fewer eye movements [C] to understand meaning [D] to understand the grammatical structures 54. It has been estimated that up to 75% of words in English sentences are ____. [A] grammatically unnecessary [B] essential to the meaning [C] not absolutely essential to the grasp of meaning [D] reread more than once by poor readers 55. Efficient readers usually ____. [A] move their heads quickly [B] take in whole phrases at a time [C] point at key words [D] miss some important points for speed 完形填空 Directions:In this section, you will read a passage with some blanks.
