8、 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 anci
9、ent people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.Nowadays people take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time
10、 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, such as the customs, the geography of other countries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel
11、 from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.There is a saying in China, which is “
12、Travelling for thousands 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） they liked staying at home（C） there was
13、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 people like traveling now because_.（A）it ca
14、n bring us more knowledge（B） it can make us rich（C） they have too much money（D）it is a good idea 24 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
15、goes, the more hooks he reads 24 The other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student 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 stude
16、nt had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes indeed, you speak English very well.“ But the 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 compliment(赞美的话)as the English peo
17、ple do. He should have said “Thank you“ instead of “No“. He actually understood what the American 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, y
18、ou should say “Thank you“. If someone says to a Woman “You look so beautiful with the new clothes 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
19、 well“, then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No“, you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if 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 expec
20、t to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen. 25 Why was the American surprised at the Chinese students answer?（A）Because he wondered whether the stude
21、nt could really speak good English.（B） Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.（C） Because 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. 26 According to the western culture, if one is given a com
22、pliment, he or she should say“_”.（A）Pardon（B） Thank you（C） Excuse me（D）Yes, thanks a lot 27 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 job he should give an impression that hes just fit for the job.（B） Because he is not modest.
23、C） Because he could do nothing but speak that way.（D）Because he was eager to get the job. 28 What does the passage tell us?（A）Confidence is more important than modesty.（B） How to accept compliments given by westerners.（C） The Chinese people are modest while westerners are confident.（D）The western c
24、ulture. 28 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. Its terrible!“Rabies(狂犬病), Louis. Burning the bites is the only hope of stopping Henry from catching the dis
25、ease.“Henry did get rabies and died, in great pain, some days later.

26、 achieved great success in his life. 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 never forgot his friend Henry.After many dangerous experiments on mad dogs, he finally found th
27、e 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 many countries. People sent money to help build the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Today it is on
28、e the worlds most famous centers for research.29 Pasteur became a Doctor of Science.

31、is Pasteurs arm and leg were disabled（D）Louis Pasteur cured a boy who had been badly bitten by a mad dog 32 The atmosphere and oceans are not the only parts of the environment being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E. O. Wilson, a biologi
32、st 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, rain forests depletion has fortunately received significant public and medias attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of r
33、ain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil chops down an area of forests 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, Zaire, Papua-new Guinea, Malaysia, Burme, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bo
34、livia, 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 World Wildlife Fund says that every minute,25 to 50 acres are cut down or
35、 burnt to the ground.The worlds growing population has been a primary reason of rain forests destruction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of steps that would alleviate the destruction of the rain forests.33 In the
36、 opinion of the author, _are being destroyed terribly at present.（A）the oceans（B） the atmosphere（C） the rain forests（D）all the above 34 The words “chop down“ in the second paragraph means_（A）clear（B） make room for（C） destroy（D）cut down 35 Why did Wilson regard “the greatest extinction since the end

40、 me lots of money and that the government doesnt know about“.So he became a thief-but he did not do the stealing himself. He got others to do it.
