15、 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 the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.37 After a day
16、 of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little de
17、eper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream
18、. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move quickly (although your eye-lids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very slowly and very deepl
19、y. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.37 A good title for this passage is _.（A）Sleep（B） Good Health（C） Dreams（D）Work and Rest38 The word “drowsy“ in the last paragraph means _.（A）sick（B） as
20、leep（C） a little sleepy（D）nosy39 This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _.（A）dream more often（B） have poor health（C） nervous（D）breathe quickly40 During REM, _.（A）your eyes move quickly（B） you dream（C） you are restless（D）both A and B41 The average number of hours of sleep
21、that an adult needs is _.（A）approximately six hours（B） around ten hours（C） about eight hours（D）not stated here42 For years, children in the industrial areas of Europe and America seldom left their smoky cities to see the beauties of the countryside. This was not because the woods and fields were alw
22、ays far away, but because they were too far from the city to permit people to make a day trip between morning and nightfall.In 1970, a young German schoolmaster had an idea which changed this state of affairs. He decided to turn his little schoolhouse into a dormitory or hostel for the summer holida
23、ys. Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success. A few years later, the schoolhouse was much too small to hold the many young people who wanted to stay there. As a result, a dormitory was set up in an old
24、 castle nearby. This was the first hostel.Today, young students and workers of every country can meet in the hostel and get to know each other. When young people arrive at the hostel, they have only to show their cards of membership in a hostel organization in their own country. This card will permi
25、t him to use the facilities of hostel all over the world for very low prices.Often, at the evening meal, a group of boys and girls from various parts of the country of world will happen to meet at the same hostel. They may put their food together and prepare a dinner with many kinds of dishes. Somet
26、imes a program will be organized after the meal with dances, songs, or short talks followed by a questions period. One can learn a lot of things about other places, just by meeting people who come from those places. For this reason, a few weeks spent “hostelling“ can be just as useful a part of ones
27、 education as classes in school.42 The author says children in the city seldom went to the woods and the fields because _.（A）all these places were too far away for them to go（B） it was impossible for them to go and get back in one day（C） they were not old enough to take such a trip（D）they were not p
28、ermitted to go to these places43 By saying “His idea was a success“, the author means _.（A）the school master made a lot of money and got rich（B） the school master became very famous among young students（C） more and more young people went to the hostel for summer holidays（D）more and more young studen
29、ts came to study at his school44 According to the passage, young people can pay less for their stay in the hostel if _.（A）they share their food with each other（B） they can prove they have joined the hostel organization（C） they have brought enough equipment with them（D）they can prove that they are fr
30、om a foreign country45 In the authors opinion, young people can learn a lot during the days they spend “hostelling“ because _.（A）they meet a lot of people from different places（B） they have such useful classes in the hostel as they dont have in schools（C） they have more interesting activities than a
31、t school（D）they are very much interested in life in the hostel46 Which do you think might be the proper title for this passage?（A）Youth Organization.（B） International Travel.（C） Education Out of School.（D）Summer Holidays.47 One of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is, of course, the
32、 voice of the advertisers. It shouts at us from the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; signal to us from the roadside bill-boards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night.Advertising has been among Englands biggest growth
33、 industries since the war. Perhaps the reason is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without adding customer-appeal to all his other problems of man-hours and machin
34、e tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find clever ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that if confers(赋予) status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness.Other manufacturers find adve
35、rtising saves them from changing their product. And manufacturers hate change. The ideal product is one that goes on unchanged forever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for-how much better to change the image, the packet or the pitch made by the product, rather
36、than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.47 Which of the following can best describe the authors attitude toward modern advertising?（A）Indifferent.（B） Shocked.（C） Disapproving.（D）Approving.48 According to the author, which is NOT the designers chief concern when he designs a p
37、roduct?（A）Stress factors.（B） Man-hours.（C） Disapproving.（D）Customer-appeal.49 It is stated in the passage that those responsible for giving a product customer- appeal are _.（A）customers（B） designers（C） advertisers（D）manufacturers50 According to the author, when some change in a product is necessary,
38、 a manufacturer will choose to _.（A）lower the production cost（B） hire a better designer（C） improve its quality（D）alter its image51 The best title for the passage might be _.（A）Advertising Since the War（B） Advertising and Manufacturers（C） Advertising-England s Biggest Industry（D）Advertising and Purch
39、asers52 All that we really need to plot out the future of our universe are a few good measurements. This does not mean that we can sit down today and outline the future course of the universe with anything like certainty. There are still too many things we do not know about the way the universe is p
40、ut together. But we do know exactly what information we need to fill in our knowledge, and we have a pretty good idea of how to go about getting it. Perhaps the best way to think of our present situation is to imagine a train coming into a switchyard(调车场). All of the switches(转辙器)are set before the
41、train arrives, so that its path is completely determined. Some switches we can see, others we cannot. There is no ambiguity if we can see the setting of a switch; we can say with confidence that some possible futures will not materialize and others will. At the unseen switches, however, there is no
42、such certainty. We know the train will take one of the tracks leading out, but we have no idea which one. The unseen switches are the true decision points in the future, and what happens when we arrive at them determines the entire subsequent course of events.When we think about the future of the un
43、iverse, we can see our “track“ many billions of years into the future, but after that there are decision points to be dealt with and possible fates to consider. The goal of science is to reduce the ambiguity at the decision points and find the true road that will be followed.52 According to the pass
44、age, it is difficult to be certain about the distant future of the universe because we _.（A）have too many conflicting theories（B） do not have enough funding to continue our research（C） are not sure how the universe is put together（D）have focused our investigations on the moon and planets53 What does
45、 the author see as the function of the universes unseen “switches“?（A）They tell us which one of the tracks the universe will use.（B） They enable us to alter the course of t he universe.（C） They give us information about the lunar surface.（D）They determine which course the universe will take in the f
46、uture.54 In the second paragraph, the word “track“ could best be replaced by which of the following?（A）Band.（B） Rails.（C） Path.（D）Sequence.55 For whom is the author probably writing this passage?（A）Train engineers.（B） General audiences.（C） Professors of statistics.（D）Young children.56 Which of the f
47、ollowing statements best describes the organization of the pas- sage?（A）A statement illustrated by an analogy(类比).（B） A hypothesis supported by documentation(引用文献).（C） A comparison of two contrasting theories.（D）A critical analysis of a common assumption.四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some bla
