15、s_(prefer) is reading books rather than watching TV. 三、Part III Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening

16、the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.37 Personal interviewing is most effective when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively small geographical area. Otherwise, the time and expense spent in travelling from one person to another makes this type of interviewing economical

17、ly impractical. Personal inter viewing is usually used when the information needed is too complex to be gathered by another technique. For example, a problem being studied may require the interviewer to probe beyond the more superficial answers that might be obtained with another method.It is someti

18、mes assumed that personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey re search techniques. Although personal interviewing may be accurate in many cases, human errors may prevent a researcher from obtaining valid results. Questions perceived by the interview wee as an invasion of privacy or thre

19、atening in any way will probably produce false of partially true answers. Also, since the interviewer must interpret the respondents statements, a certain amount of information loss results even though the respondent may be answering truthfully.In spite of the problems, at least two major advantages

20、 are provided by this research technique. First, the alert interviewer can generally tell if the respondent is being truthful of if he or she is giving superficial or untrue responses. Second, the interviewer can rephrase questions, give more explanation, or probe more deeply if the initial question

21、s do not produce the information desired. As a result, the information gleaned should be more accurate than that provided by interviews where no one is present to clarify questions or to interpret answers.37 It can be concluded from the passage that when all the people to be interviewed are located

22、in a relatively big geographical area _.（A）personal interviewing is most effective（B） personal interviewing is economically impractical（C） personal interviewing is the only technique to get information（D）telephone interviewing may not be used38 Sometimes a researcher cannot get valid results because

23、 _.（A）the information needed is too complex to be gathered（B） personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques（C） personal interviewing is not as effective as other research techniques（D）both interviewer and interviewee may make mistakes during the interviewing39 In the s

24、econd paragraph, the phrase “an invasion of privacy“ most probably means _.（A）an unpleasant conversation（B） a challenge to interviewees professional skills（C） an interference with interviewees personal affairs（D）an interference with interviewees hobby40 In the first sentence of the last paragraph, t

25、he pronoun “this“ refers to _.（A）survey（B） question（C） answering（D）personal interviewing41 According to the last paragraph, one of the advantages of the personal interviewing is _.（A）the interviewer can ask the interviewee questions again in different ways（B） the interviewer can ask the interviewee

26、some personal questions（C） the initial question do not produce the information desired（D）no one is present to clarify questions42 It has often been said by people involved in language teaching that a student who really wants to learn will succeed whatever the circumstances are under which he studies

27、. It is certainly true that students do learn in unfavourable conditions, and it is also true that students of ten succeed using methods that experts have considered unsatisfactory. All teachers can think of some students who are significantly better than their peers, and it seems reasonable to sugg

28、est that the motivation of the student is perhaps the single most important thing that he brings to the classroom.Motivation is some kind of internal drive that encourages somebody to pursue a course of action. It seems to the case that if we perceive a goal and if that goal is sufficiently attracti

29、ve, we will be strongly motivated to do whatever is necessary to reach that goal. Of course, goals may be of many different types. Language learners who are motivated also perceive goals of various types, and here we might immediately make a distinction between short-term goals might include such th

30、ings as the urge to pass an end-of-term or end-of-semester exam or complete a unit successfully. It seems possible to suggest that a teacher will find a strongly motivated student with a long-term goal easier to teach than a student who has to study the language because it is on the curriculum and w

31、ho does not have such a goal. For the latter type of student short-term goals will often be the source of any motivation he has.42 Whats the passage about?（A）The way of teaching.（B） Types of goals.（C） Motivations.（D）Language learning.43 What is the key to a successful student according to the passag

32、e?（A）Circumstances.（B） Methods.（C） Teachers.（D）Motivation.44 Who is easier to be taught to the teacher?（A）highly-motivated student with a long-term goal.（B） de-motivated student.（C） student who has to study because of the curriculum.（D）student with the urge to pass the exam.45 It seems that all thes

33、e are factors involved in learning except _.（A）motivation（B） study techniques（C） learning atmosphere（D）personality46 Who is likely to talk about the subject?（A）Experts and authorities concerned.（B） Linguists and language teachers.（C） Psychologists and analysts.（D）Assessors and predictors.47 The conc

34、ept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choices based upon current medical knowledge. We all enjoy our freedom of choice and do not like to see it restricte

35、d. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary lifestyle without any exercise. The freed

36、om to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressu

37、red by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influence the development of health-related behaviors. However, the decision to adopt a particular health-related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are hea

38、lthy choices and there are unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Crapo drew a comparison. They suggested that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those indiv

39、iduals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality(活力)and longevity(寿命).47 The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because

40、 _.（A）personal health choices help cure most illnesses（B） it helps raise the level of our medical knowledge（C） it is essential to personal freedom in American society（D）wrong decisions could lead to poor health48 To “live a completely sedentary lifestyle“ (Line 6, Para. 1) means _.（A）to “live an ina

41、ctive life“（B） to“live a decent life“（C） to “live a life with complete freedom“（D）to “live a life of boredom“49 Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because _.（A）current medical knowledge is still insufficient（B） there are many factors influencing our decisions（C） few people are w

42、illing to trade the quality of life for the quantity of life（D）people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends50 To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to _.（A）improving the quality of ones life（B） limiting ones personal health choice（C） d

43、eliberately ending ones life（D）breaking the rules of social behavior51 According to Fries and Crapo sound health choices should be based on _.（A）personal decisions（B） societys laws（C） statistical evidence（D）friends opinions52 United States customs law defines an antique (古董) as an object that is mor

44、e than 100 years old. It is understood, however, that an object must be more than just 20 years old in order to be called an antique. Properly, an antique must also be distinguished by some degree of aesthetic(美学的) or historic merit. An antique is usually both beautiful and decorative. It may also h

45、ave additional interest and value because of its relationship to a historical period or to some well-known person. George Washingtons teapot and dining room chairs, for example, are more valuable as antiques than those that belonged to most other 18th century Americans,Antiques of all kinds are high

46、ly valued for their intrinsic(内在的) beauty, craftsmanship, and quality of design. They may be made of rare materials such as gold or silver, but they may also be made of ordinary materials such as wood or paper. Most antiques are things that were originally used as household furnishings. These includ

47、e furniture, silver, glass, ceramics(陶制品), rugs, embroideries, and various kinds of metalware. In museums these objects represent the decorative arts. They are studied and exhibited in ways that are different from the ways in which the fine arts (paintings, prints, and sculpture, for example) are st

48、udied and presented.Antiques are studied by cultural and social historians, who see them as direct clues to a peoples way of life. Such scholars are less concerned with the beauty o a piece than with its typicality, craftsmanship, and role in the economic and social life of its owners. Washingtons t

49、eapot and dining room chairs are studied as examples of 18th century pottery and furniture making. They are also studied for their roles in daily life at Washingtons home, Mount Vernon. Such material culture studies have benefited private collectors greatly because the results have enhanced the associative
