9、olate 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 the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20
10、 George Mason must rank with John Adams and James Madison as one of the three Founding Fathers who left their personal imprint(印记 ) on the fundamental law of the United States. He was the principal author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which, because of its early formation, greatly influence
11、d other state constitutions framed during the Revolution and, through them, the Federal Bill of Rights of 1791.Yet Mason was essentially a private person with very. little inclination for public office or the ordinary operation of politics beyond the country level. His appearances in the Virginia co
12、lonial and state legislatures were relatively brief, and not until 1787 did he consent to represent his state at a continental or national congress or convention. Politics was never more than a means for Masson. He was at all times a man of public spirit, but politics was never a way of life, never
13、for long his central concern. It took a revolution to pry him away from home and family at Gunston Hall, mobilize his skill and energy for constitutional construction, and transform him, in one brief moment of brilliant leadership, into a statesman whose work would endure to influence the lives and
14、fortunes of those“ millions yet unborn“ of whom he and his generation of Americans spoke so frequently and thought so constantly.21 The author regards George Masons personal contribution to American law as _. ( )（A）not comparable to that of Adams or Madison（B） greater than that Of either Adams or Ma
15、dison（C） of the same importance as that of Adams and Madison（D）second in importance only to that of Adams and Madison 22 Masons relation to the Federal Bill of Rights was one of _. ( )（A）significant but indirect influence（B） principal authorship（C） sole authorship（D）distant and essentially unimporta
16、nt influence 23 The passage indicates that, for Mason, political activities were _. ( )（A）undertaken only when absolutely necessary（B） a fundamental and life long preoccupation（C） something he successfully avoided throughout his life（D）something to which he always wished to devote more time and atte
17、ntion 24 The author indicated that Masons brilliant leadership ability _. ( )（A）was exercised throughout his life（B） had been recognized only by the generations that followed him（C） was less important historically than his brilliance as lawyer（D）emerged powerfully, but for a brief time only 25 The a
18、uthor seems to be especially impressed by the fact that _. ( )（A）Mason, a responsible citizen, resisted for so long the obligation to represent his state in politics（B） Mason, having so little political inclination, turned out to be such an influential statesman（C） Mason was willing to leave home an
19、d family for public service（D）Mason could be devoted family man and a statesman at the same time 25 Many people think a telephone is essential. But I think it is a pest and a time waster. Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or inquisitive chatter-box, or from somebody who want
20、s something for nothing. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out , or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to i
21、gnore it, to say to yourself, “Ah, well it will all be the same in a hundred years time?“ You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you never rushed dripping from the bath
22、, or chewing from the tabe, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isnt it important to have a te
23、lephone in case of sudden emergency-illness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is go
24、od. I admit that in different circumstances-if I were a tycoon(实业界巨头) , for instance, or bed-ridden I might find a telephone essential. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular aptitu
25、de: one is mechanical invention, the other is literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them. For have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, on
26、e never knows, it may be something important.26 What does the work “pest“ in the second sentence of the first paragraph mean? ( )（A）Harmful thing.（B） Insignificant thing.（C） Troublesome thing（D）Trivial thing 27 The author says he is not strong-minded enough to ignore the telephone because _. ( )（A）h
27、e hates idle talk（B） it always comes at an inopportune time（C） it might carry some important message（D）he doesnt want to be impolite to any one on the telephone 28 Which of the following statements may be considered an honor to a telephone? ( )（A）It provides a means for all kinds of talks whereas th
28、e speakers neednt come person to person with each other.（B） It can send a message of sudden emergency conveniently.（C） It is densely-installed in England.（D）It is impossible to ignore the telephone when it rings. 29 The author uses the examples of a tycoon and a taxi-driver to show that _. ( )（A）dif
29、ferent people have different ideas about the telephone（B） high income is the precondition for the use of telephone（C） telephone is essential only to those people whose career depends on it（D）working people need a telephone 30 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ( )（A）
30、Some people use telephone for idle or inquisitive talk.（B） It is quite difficult to get access to a public phone in England although many families have a telephone in their house.（C） The author is exhilarated to get the phone answered in the end.（D）English people are fond of literature. 30 It is 2 a
31、. m. You took too long over dinner, the coast is still a couple of hundred kilometers away and it is essential to get that early morning ferry. And your car radiator pipe has split. At times like that, the documents making up your insurance kit lying in the front of your car seem useless. The neares
32、t phone was passed three kilometers back, and it would be reasonable to expect some delay in getting breakdown assistance when you have finally phoned through.If on the other hand, youve got a spare in the car, five minutes work should see you on your way again. The majority of breakdowns do involve
33、 minor and easily changed parts. A few basic tools and the right mix of spares are well worth the space they take up. But to sort out which ones are mast likely to be needed, and to buy them, can be expensive.That is why the motoring organizations have come up with rental kits. For about 50 pence a
34、day ( slightly more to non-members)they will supply a boxed range of spares for a given car. On returning the kit the motorist pays for any that are used, plus a small fee for repacking. Deposits are about 20.It is much better, however, to reduce the risk of breakdowns by seeing that your car is pro
35、perly serviced before setting out. Particularly when driving at high speed over long distances in hot weather.Finally, it makes sense to purchase a safety triangle and an emergency plastic windscreen before leaving. Make sure all your fellow travellers know where your documents are; give one a spare
36、 set of keys, and slip into the back of your wallet a large banknote for the emergencies where a credit card wont do.31 While on a motoring holiday abroad you might find yourself in difficulties because _. ( )（A）you have brought the wrong documents with you（B） your ferry has just left without you（C）
37、 the nearest phone is out of order（D）a repair to your car might take some time 32 In order to avoid disaster it would be wise _. ( )（A）to spend five minutes checking the car before you leave（B） to carry some emergency spares with you（C） to buy a cheap set of spares before leaving（D）to prevent all br
38、eakdowns from happening 33 Motoring organizations, are now offering motorists _. ( )（A）a discount for becoming members（B） a box which fits nearly into most car（C） a selection of parts which may be needed（D）a chance to rent a car cheaply 34 Nevertheless, motorists themselves can try to prevent proble
39、ms from arising by _. ( )（A）driving short distances in hot weather（B） having their car insured for 20（C） driving slowly at all times（D）making sure their car is in good working order 35 Another sensible piece of advice for motorists is to _. ( )（A）use a plastic windscreen（B） give their traveling comp
40、anions all their documents（C） carry extra money for emergencies（D）keep a spare set of keys 35 You ask how to start a business? Here is an example.David Dawson, a serious mountain climber, was dissatisfied with soft iron pitons(锥锤), the only ones he was able to buy. They lasted just one or two climbs
41、, and Dawson wanted to replace them with “chrome-molys“ (铬铝合金 ) , which were harder, stronger and longer-lasting. Some climbers made them for limited distribution among friends, but they were not commercially available. So Dawson started Dawson Equipment Ltd., a purveyor (承办商 ) of climbing equipment
42、, as a one-man enterprise in Burbank, California, in 1958. He had no plan, no management experience and no advertising. He worked in a shed using a hand forge purchased with $ 800 of capital borrowed from his mother.What Dawson did have was a knowledge of the kind of equipment that he needed in his
43、own climbs, and a sense that serious climbers would follow his lead. Currently Dawson Equipment is thriving and produces over 200 products.Business opportunities are mere than ample today for the simple reason that many consumers are dissatisfied. Dawsons business started from his being a customer n
44、ot liking what he bought. I suspect that your business will begin that way too. You know what you want to replace, improve or change. So begin where the tool breaks, the service slips or the shoe pinches.36 Dawson was dissatisfied with soft iron pitons because _. ( )（A）they were too soft to bear the
45、 climbers weight（B） they were the only pitons he could afford to buy（C） they coul not last long（D）they were made of iron 37 Dawsons example shows that a business starts _. ( )（A）with a moment of sudden realization of inspiration（B） with the knowledge of what is needed（C） after you have climbed some
46、muntains（D）when you have climbed some mountains 38 Which of the following statements is true? ( )（A）There are less opportunities today to start a business because customers are always dissatisfied.（B） There are many opportunities today to start a business with a simple reason.（C） Customers dissatisf
47、action means you can start a business to satisfy them.（D）Never start a business if customers are dissatisfied. 39 “I suspect that your business will start that way too.“ in the last paragraph means _. ( )（A）I doubt you will start a business in the same way（B） I dont believe your business will succee
48、d if you start that way（C） I think it is likely you start a business that way（D）I have no idea if you will start a business that way 40 Which of the following can best express the main idea of the passage? ( )（A）Never be satisfied with what you have.（B） Start a business as a customer.（C） It is profi
49、table to find fault with what you have.（D）To start a business is to make a fortune. 40 As my train wasnt due to leave for another hour, I had plenty of time to spare. After buying some newspapers to read on the journey, I made my way to the luggage office to collect the heavy suitcase I had left there three days before. There were only a few people waiting, and I took out my wallet to find the receipt for
