Each passage is followed by a number of
16、 comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.37 Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive
17、three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic ja
18、m at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds interpretation of what the sensesin this case our eyestell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determined just how a person experiences o
19、r perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things abo
20、ut the same scene.37 Seeing and perceiving are _.（A）the same action（B） two separate actions（C） two actions carried on entirely by eyes（D）several actions that take place at different times38 Perceiving is an action that takes place _.（A）in our eyes（B） only when we think very hard about something（C） o
21、nly under the direction of a psychologist（D）in every persons mind39 People perceive different things about the same scene because _.（A）they see different things（B） some have better eyesight（C） they cannot agree about things（D）none of these40 Which of the following is implied but not stated in the pa
22、ssage?（A）Psychologists do not yet know how people see.（B） The experiments in which all factors are controlled are better.（C） The study of perception is going on now.（D）Perception does not involve psychological factors.41 The best title for this selection is _.（A）How We See（B） Leaning about Our Minds
23、 through Science（C） What Psychologists Perceive（D）How to Become an Experimental Psychologist42 The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research
24、has shown that 40 percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures ate more prone to get certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government res
25、earchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful
26、or harmful. The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The f
27、armers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.42 How has science done a disservice to mankind?（A）Because of science, most of the
28、foods we eat today are contaminated.（B） It has caused a lack of information concerning the value of food.（C） As a result of scientific intervention, some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food.（D）The scientists have preserved the color of meats, but not of vegetables.43 What are
29、nitrates used for?（A）They preserve flavor in packaged foods.（B） They preserve the color of meats.（C） They are the objects of research.（D）They cause the animals to become fatter.44 The FDA has tried repeatedly to control _.（A）the attempt to fatten the animals（B） the attempt to cure sick animals（C） th
30、e using of drugs to animals（D）the using of additives to preserve the color of food45 The word “carcinogenic“ means most nearly the same as _.（A）trouble-making（B） color-retaining（C） money-saving（D）cancer-causing46 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）Drugs are always given to animals for
31、medical reasons.（B） Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.（C） Researchers have known about the potential hazards of the food additives for over thirty-five years.（D）Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.47 Unlike their A
32、merican or European counterparts, car salesmen in Japan work hard to get a buyer. Instead of lying lazily around showrooms waiting for customers to drop by, many Japanese car salesmen still go out to get them. They walk wearily along the streets selling cars door-to-door. New customers are hunted wi
33、th fruit and cakes on their birth- days. But life is getting tough, and not just because new-car sales are falling.With more Japanese women(who often control the household budget) going out to work, the salesmen increasingly find nobody at home when they call. That means another visit in the evening
34、 or at the weekend. Then they face an extra problem: more people, especially the young, prefer to choose a new car from a showroom where they can compare different models.Even as late as the mid-1980s some 90 percent of new cars were sold door-to-door. In some rural areas most new cars are still sol
35、d this way. But in the big cities more than half the new cars are now sold from showrooms.Although investing in showrooms is expensive because of the high cost of Japanese land, dealers have little choice. A labor shortage and higher expectations among Japans workforce are making it difficult to hir
36、e door-to-door salesmen. Most of a Japanese car salesmans working day is spent doing favors for customers, like arranging insurance or picking up vehicles for servicing, rather than actually selling.Japans doorstep car salesmen are not about to vanish. The personal service they pro- vide is so deep-
37、rooted in Japan that they are likely to operate alongside the glittering new showrooms. The two systems even complement each other. What increasingly happens is that the showroom attracts the interest of a potential buyer, giving the footsore salesmen a firm lead to follow up with a home visit.47 Ja
38、panese car salesmen usually do not wait at showrooms for customers to drop by; instead, _.（A）they sell cars door-to-door（B） they buy presents for their customers（C） they enjoy themselves in recreation centers（D）they go out to do market researches48 Implied but stated, the competition in car market i
39、s _.（A）light（B） moderate（C） fierce（D）unfair49 Young people like to buy a new car _.（A）at home（B） from a showroom（C） made in the U.S.A.（D）made in Japan50 The squadron of Japanese car salesmen is reducing because of _.（A）a labor shortage（B） higher expectations among Japans workforce（C） high cost land（
40、D）both A and B51 Japanese car salesmen do their customers many favors such as _.（A）showing them around in an exhibition（B） arranging insurance（C） paying them a visit on weekends（D）selling old cars for them52 The new global satellite communications systems will offer three kinds of service, which may
41、 overlap in many different kinds of receivers.VOICE. Satellite telephones will be able to make calls from anywhere on the earth to anywhere else. That could make them especially useful to remote, third world villages (some of which already use stationary satellite telephones), explorers and disaster
42、-relief teams. Todays mobile telephones depend on earth-bound transmitters, whose technical standards vary from country to country. So business travelers cannot use their mobile phones on international trips Satellite telephones would make that possible.MESSAGING. Satellite massagers have the same g
43、lobal coverage as satellite telephones, but carry text alone, which could be useful for those with laptop computers. Equipped with a small screen like todays papers, satellite messages will also receive short messages.TRACKING. Voice and messaging systems will also tell their users where they are to
44、 within a few hundred meters. Combined with the messaging service, the location service could help rescue teams to find stranded adventurers, the police to find stolen cars, ex- porters to follow the progress of cargoes, and haulage companies to check that drivers are not detouring to the pub. Ameri
45、cas military Global Positioning System(GPS) satellites will provide better positioning information to anyone who has a receiver for their signals, but GPS does not carry messages, so such a receiver cannot be used on its own for tracking or rescue. By the mid-1990s, GPS receivers will be able to tel
46、l people where they are to within 70 meters anywhere in the world, and to within a meter or so in areas where the service is supplemented by ground-based transmitter.52 Global satellite communications systems will be useful to _.（A）laptop computer users（B） remote villages（C） disaster-relief teams（D）
47、all above53 Satellite telephones will make _.（A）business travelers use mobile phones on international trips（B） possible calls from anywhere on earth to anywhere else（C） explorers happy（D）all above54 Which of the following is TRUE?（A）The positioning precision of the voice system is better than that o
48、f GPS.（B） The positioning precision of the messaging system is better than that of GPS.（C） The positioning precision of the voice system is better than that of the messaging system.（D）The positioning precision of GPS is better than that of the voice system.55 What can we say about the new global sat
49、ellite communications systems?（A）They are widely used.（B） They are very helpful.（C） They are costly.（D）Both A and B.56 Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?（A）Global Satellite Communications.（B） New Voice and Messaging Systems.（C） New Generation Satellite.（D）Always in Touch.四、Part IV ClozeDirect
