8、ing 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 Long time ago, the a
9、ncient people could not travel to any faraway places for they had no instruments to carry them across the wide oceans, the deep valleys, long rivers or the high mountains.Nowadays men take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes for modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a
10、 short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge about, such as the custom, the geography of other countries. And the people could travel among the different countries in the world. For
11、it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.We learnt that the Italian who made the world larger was Mr. Christopher Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of travelling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.Ther
12、e is a saying in China, that is“ Travelling for thousands of li is better than reading for ten years. “It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.21 The people in ancient times couldnt travel too far away places because _.（A）they found it no use doing so（B）
13、they liked staying at home（C） there was no modern transportation（D）they were forbidden to go to other countries 22 The reason why people like to fly today is that _.（A）it is interesting（B） it is cheaper than to go in any other way（C） it can cross the wide oceans（D）it takes less time 23 The modern pe
14、ople like travelling now because _.（A）it can bring us more knowledge（B） it can make us rich（C） they have too much money（D）it is a good idea 24 We say Columbus made the world larger, that is to say _.（A）he founded America（B） he invaded America（C） he was a brave man（D）he discovered the continent of Am
15、erica 25 The Chinese saying means “ _ “.（A）The farther a man goes, the more treasures he gets（B） The more a man sees, the more knowledge he gets（C） Travelling is more interesting than reading（D）The farther a man goes, the more books he reads 25 The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese stud
16、ent of English “You speak very good English.“ But the student answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.“ the foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes indeed, you speak English very well.“ But th
17、e Chinese student still kept saying “No. “In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. Whats wrong with the students answer? It is because he did not accept a complimentas the English people do. He should have said “Thank you“ instead of “no“. He actually understood what the Ameri
18、can had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said “Thank you“, that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say “Thank you“. If someone says to a woman “You look so beautiful with the new clot
19、hes on“, she should be very happy and answer “Thank you“. In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say“ No, Im afraid I cant do it well“, then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often sa
20、y “no“, you will certainly be looked down upon by others. If asking for a job, one says something like “Let me have a try on the job“ instead of “Yes, I can certainly do it,“ he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go a
21、nywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.26 Why was the American surprised at the Chinese students answer?（A）Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.（B） Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.（C） Be
22、cause he wouldnt like others to say “No“.（D）Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries. 27 As the student kept saying “no“, the American _.（A）became disappointed（B） got angry（C） lost interest（D）could not continue the conversation because he did n
23、ot know what else he could say 28 According to the western culture, if one is given a compliment, he of she should, say: _.（A）Pardon（B） Thank you（C） Excuse me（D）Yes, thanks a lot 29 Why does a man in the west who asks for a job say something like “Yes, I can certainly do it“?（A）Because to get the jo
24、b he should give an impression that hes just fit for the job.（B） Because he is not modest.（C） Because he could do nothing but speak that way.（D）Because he was eager to get the job. 30 What does the passage tell us?（A）Confidence is more important than modesty.（B） How to accept compliments given by we
25、sterners.（C） The Chinese people are modest while westerners are confident.（D）About the western culture. 30 Nine-year-old Louis Pasteur rushed into the little house, his face white.“Mother!“ he cried. “A mad dog has bitten my friend Henry, and now they are burning him with red-hot irons.

26、!“Rabies(狂犬病), Louis. Burning the bites is the only hope of stopping Henry from catching the disease.“Henry did get rabies and died, in great pain, some days later. Louis Pasteur never forgot that. “One day,“ he thought, “I must do something to help people like Henry.“Sixteen years later Pasteur bec

But during the years of research he lost the use of his left arm and leg. Yet he worked on and on, as hard as ever, as he was eager to find a way for curing rabies. He
28、never forgot his friend Henry.After many dangerous experiments on mad dogs, he finally found the answer. Just then a boy who had been badly bitten by a mad dog arrived at his lab. A few days after Pasteurs treatment the boy got better. He did not catch rabies.The discovery gave new hope to people in
29、 many countries. People sent money to help build the Pastear Institute in Paris. Today it is one of the worlds most famous centres for research.31 Pasteur became a Doctor of Science.

34、y destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E. O. Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, calls the depletion(枯竭、耗尽)of rain forest areas “the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs(恐龙)“.Unlike some environmental issues, ram forest depletion has fortunately received significan
35、t public and media attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down on area of forest the size of the state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazons rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well. In Indonesia, Za
36、ire, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Burme, the Philippines peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.According to some estimates, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The
37、 World Wildlife Fund says that every minute, 25 to 50 acres are cat or burned to the ground.The worlds growing population has been a primary reason of rain forest destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of st

43、ated hard work. He said, “You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesnt know about.“So he became a thief-but he did not do the stealing. He got others to do it. They were much less intelli
44、gent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing
