IV. Reading Comprehension (60 points)
Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five
questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.
Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
When my daughter first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted
with other parents. Sometimes, I’d ask if they played chess themselves. Usually, the reply was
no. When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking:“Good
luck with that!”If this game is so good for kids, why are adults ignoring it? Seeing someone
playing smart phone games, I wanted to say:“Why are you having your kids do chess while
you do that?"
Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were
enjoying. But I also wondered if we were sending a subtle message:that learning was for the
young. During one tournament, I saw a group of parents. They were playing chess! Just then,
a group of kids passed me.“Why are adults learning chess?” one asked, in a vaguely teasing
tone.
I was tired of sitting on the sidelines. I wanted in. And that is how I got a membership
card and started throwing myself in. Early on, I was nervous, even though I really had nothing
to lose, except my pride. “ A master can sometimes play badly," as one grandmaster (国际象
棋大师)put it,“a fan, never!And fan I was. It was three hours of concentration and thinking,
with my phone turned off. It felt like a gym for the brain.
Being a beginner can be hard at any age, h out it gets harder as you get older. The
phrase“adult beginner" has an air of gentle pity. It implies the learning of something that you
should have perhaps already learned.
36.What can we learn about other parents from their remarks in Para 1?
A. They were indifferent to adult learners.
B. They agreed om the idea of learning chess.
C.They gave congratulations to the adult learner.
D.They thought it odd for an adult to learn chess.
37.What was a group of parents doing during one tournament in Para. 2??
A. Playing chess.
B. Enjoying chatting.
C.Watching kids play chess.
D. Helping kids with their lessons.
38.Which of the following is closest in meaning to“sitting on the sidelines”in Para. 3?
A.Not being noticed. B. Expressing vague ideas.
B.Expressing vague ideas.
C.Not being involved.
D.Following what others do.
39.What did the writer think of his experience of learning to play chess?
A.It helped him remain calm.
B. It helped him train his brain.
C. It made him proud of himself.
D. It made him question himself.
Passage Two
There's an old fixed understanding about the difference between cats and dogs. Dogs
are loving an loyal,while cats are aloof(冷漠离群的)and indifferent. Most cat people, however,
probably disagree. Overall, cat research suggests cats do form emotional bonds with their
owners. Cats seem experience separation anxiety, respond to their owners’ voices more than
to strangers’ and look for comfort when scared.
But a new study reveals a more complicated picture of our relationship with cats.
Adapting a method previously used to study dogs,
the scientists found cats-unlike
dogs-don’t avoid strangers who refuse to help their owners. This doesn’t mean that the cats
in this study were selfish, but they simply didn't understand how human beings respond to
each other. They weren’t aware that some of the strangers were being unhelpful.
In an experiment, a cat watched as her owner tried to open a box to get at something
inside. Two strangers sat on either side of the owner and the owner turned to one of them
and asked for help. In “ helper ” trials, the stranger helped the owner to open the box. In
“ non-helper ” trials, the stranger refused. The other stranger sat passively, doing nothing.
Then, both strangers offered the cat a treat, and the scientists watched to see which stranger
the cat approached first. Did she prefer to take food from a helpful stranger over a passive
one? Or did she avoid taking food from the non-helper?
When this method was used to test dogs, they showed a clear preference. The dogs
preferred not to take food from a stranger who refused to help their owner. In contrast, the
cats in the study were completely indifferent. They showed no preference for the helpful
person and no avoidance( 避 开 ) of the unhelpful person. Apparently, as far as cats are
concerned, food is food.
What should we take from this? An attractive conclusion would be that cats are selfish
and don't care about how their owners are treated at all. This is an example of
human-centered thinking of animals. To really understand cats, we have to get out of this
view and think of them as cats.
40. What do most cat people probably disagree with, according to Para. 1?
A. Cats are strange.
B. Cats are loving.
C.Cats are caring.
D. Cats are cold.
41. What does most research about cats show?
A. They don't need their owners’ attention.
B.They are emotionally attached to their owners.
C.They don't experience separation anxiety as dogs do.
D.They respond to their owners’ voices less than dogs do.
42.What can be learned from the study?
A. Cats take food no matter who feeds them.
B.Cats refuse food from unhelpful strangers.
C.Dogs refuse food from those who anger them.
D.Dogs take food no matter how they are treated.
43.What should we do to better understand cats, according to the last paragraph?
A. To treat them as friends.
B. To compare them with dogs.
C.To regard them as animals.
D. To care about their behavior.
Passage Three
Scientists have shown that exercise is linked to brain changes throughout all stages of life
and can help the brain develop and stay healthy. Babies,for example, need regular exercise
to form connections in the brain.In children, research suggests that exercise improves
attention, focus and school performance. In the elderly, exercise has been shown to help
slow memory loss.
Then how does exercise help the brain? Over the last 20 years, scientists have learned
that exercise can help keep the mind sharp in a number of ways. Exercise improves blood
flow to the brain.The blood carries oxygen, contributing to more efficient connections
between brain cells. Increasing blood flow is one way that exercise can improve mental
abilities. The positive effects of exercise on the brain can be seen in babies, pre-teenagers
and adults.
Babies are in near-constant movement, which is extremely important for development.
This movement not only strengthens their muscles, but also helps their brains form
connections. The process continues throughout life but is most intense in infancy( 婴 儿
期 )and toddlerhood( 学 步 期 ) , when children are mastering brand-new skills like sitting,
standing, walking, running and jumping
Exercise is also healthy for pre-teenagers’ brains. In fact, some research suggests that
regular exercise can improve school performance. A study found that the effects depended
on how much kids exercised. The more days the children attended the exercise program,the
more their focus improved.
Finally, exercise helps keep the mind sharp during adulthood. Research suggests exercise
can increase the size of the hippocampus, an important area of the brain, which become
smaller with age, and can increase levels of a protein (蛋白质) that aids the growth of new
brain cells. This can help prevent older adults from losing mental abilities and memory.
44. How does exercise help the elderly?
A. By improving attention.
B. By slowing memory loss.
C. By connecting with others.
D. By controlling cell growth.
45. How does exercise sharpen the mind according to Para. 2 ?
A. By increasing the brain size.
B. By decreasing the protein level.
C. By extending the time of concentration.
D. By strengthening brain cells’ connections
46. What is crucial in the development of babies’ brains?
A. Babies’ ability to focus.
B. Babies’ mastery of skills.
C. Babies’ muscle strength.
D. Babies’ near-constant movement.
47.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Exercise strengthens people's body
B. Exercise helps babies to grow
C. Exercise improves people's life.
D. Exercise benefits the brain.
Passage Four
In1542, Francisco de Orellana led the first European voyage down the Amazon River.
During this voyage the explorers met a lot of resistance(抵抗) from the local Indians. In one
particular tribe the women fighters were so fierce that they drove their male fighters in front
of them with spears. Thus the river was named after the famous women fighters of the
ancient Greek stories, the Amazons.
This voyage also started our wonder of the greatest river and the largest area of
rainforest in the world. About 20% of all fresh water carried to the oceans is from the Amazon
River. The Amazon basin is the world's largest, about the size of Europe. The river is a
product of the rainy season, which brings huge rains every summer. This also produces a
large area of rainforest, which supports the largest number of diverse plants and animals of
any area in the world.
The Amazon rainforest is also important when it comes to the future of global warming,
as it is a huge natural store of carbon. Up until recently it was thought that the Amazon had
fully grown and thus could not take up anymore CO2. Experiments have shown this could be
wrong and that the Amazon rainforest might be sucking up an additional five tons of
CO₂from the atmosphere per hectare(公顷) per year. This is because plants react favorably to
increased CO2; because it is the raw material for photosynthesis(光合作用),the more of it
the better. So having more CO2 in the atmosphere acts like a fertilizer,stimulating plant
growth.Because of the size of the Amazon rainforest, it seems that presently it is taking up a
large percentage of our CO2 pollution in the atmosphere, about 75% of the world ’ s car
pollution.
48.After whom was the Amazon River named ?
A. The Indian women fighters.
B. The head of an Indian tribe.
C. The first explorer of the river.
D.The women fighters in ancient Greek stories.
49. Which of the following statements is true ?
A.The Amazon basin is the largest in the world.
B.The Amazon River causes huge rains every summer.
C.The Amazon rainforest supports about 20% of the world’s plants.
D.The Amazon River carries 75% of the world's water to the oceans.
50.Why is CO₂ compared to a fertilizer in Para a. 3 ?
