Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each q
8、uestion. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 As you are students of English, its very possible that youll be interested in England.Thats where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names.This often confuses people and I w
9、onder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names -England, Britain or Great Britain. Lets see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of Europe, youll see a group of islandsone larger
10、island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles(不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland(爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and Engl
11、and. But sometimes the word “England“ is used instead of“Britain“. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in these different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of th
12、e three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.Theres another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “ the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“. That is official name of the country
13、. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of“ England“ , “ Britain“ , “ Great Britain“ , and“the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland“. Now do you know what each
14、of them means?21 English was first spoken in_.（A）Britain（B） England（C） Great Britain（D）Northern Ireland22 According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?（A）Wales is the largest of the three.（B） Scotland is the largest of the three.（C） Sometimes English is used instead of Britain
15、.（D）Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles.23 The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is_.（A）part of Britain（B） part of British Isles（C） the official name of the whole country England（D）the largest country of all mentioned in the passage24 Which of the follo
16、wing is an independent country?（A）Scotland.（B） Wales.（C） Northern Ireland.（D）The Republic of Ireland.24 Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest s
17、tates in America. Often the nearest neighbours are several hundred kilometers away.The two-way radio is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer. For example, people on the larg
18、e farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.As the large farms were so far from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in some places. At a
19、 certain time each day, boys and girls turned on their radios and listened to teachers in cities far away.Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbours. The programme“ Round Robin“ talks by radio was started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who w
20、as going away and who was ill. The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many ways the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.25 In the passage“ the two-way radio“ is_.（A）important to Americans（B） used for patients only（C）
21、used as a telephone（D）have little use26 The word “sick “in the second paragraph means_.（A）ill（B） rich（C） little（D）busy27 The children on the large farms far away_.（A）can go to school once a month（B） could have lessons on the radios（C） learn something by themselves（D）built radio schools with teachers
22、28 Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?（A）The two-way radio is like a telephone for Australian farmers.（B） Families on large farms could keep in touch with each other by radios.（C） In many ways the radio became a newspaper for Australian farmers.（D）All the Australians live on dry place
23、s, and they use radios in many ways.28 Eating in space is different from eating on earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. I
24、n the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He“shoots“ hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There can be no crumbs. Crumbs would float aro
25、und the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sized pieces. Astronauts cant drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must
26、 learn to eat this way.29 The story does not say this, but from what we have read, we can tell that_.（A）eat more in space（B） theres no water on a spaceship（C） astronauts must learn many new and different things（D）food in the spaceship is the same as usual30 Why cant astronauts drink water from cups?
27、（A）The water would come out from the open cups.（B） The water would spill all over their food.（C） Crumbs would float in the cups.（D）The cups would float in the air.31 What does all this story say?（A）There is more food and water in space than on earth.（B） Eating and drinking in space is a special prob
28、lem.（C） Astronauts can never eat or drink in a spaceship.（D）Astronauts can easily get hungry in space.32 What can we infer from the passage?（A）Food for astronauts must be made in a special way.（B） All meat on earth comes in bite-sized pieces.（C） Astronauts will only eat cakes made from crumbs.（D）Ast
29、ronauts have to go hungry in a spaceship.32 Women earn less than men do. For example, in 1998 the hourly wages of women in the U. S. were 26% less than those of men. The gap between male and female incomes varies with age. The gap between the labor incomes of young women and young men varies. Its al
30、so clear that jobs in which women are concentrated pay less. The larger the number of workers who are women in an industry, the lower the average wages.Why do women earn less than men do? Can the differences be explained by the fact that women are looked down upon? If so, the government has to inter
31、vene(干预), to force the employers to pay equal wages to equal jobs. However, there is no agreement among economists about the causes of the gap. One view argues that women on the average, have chosen low-paying jobs in which workers enjoy the freedom of entering and leaving the labor force, which red
32、uces their years of experience relative to men. Other people say the gap can also be explained by the difference in educational background.Much of the gap, however, has not been fully explained. It might be the result of some prejudice(偏见)against women. It is this part that has produced calls for go
33、vernment action. What would happen if the government did intervene to increase the wages paid to women? One possibility is that incomes for women as a group might actually decline(下阵). An increase in wage decreases the quantity of labor imput demanded, resulting in decreased employment as the rate o
34、f hiring new workers declines. The result will be a surplus(过剩)of labor. Those who can find jobs might be better off while those who had jobs might find themselves out of work.33 Some economists believe women earn less than men partly because_.（A）women are looked down（B） women have more freedom in s
35、electing jobs（C） women are only provided with low-paying jobs（D）women are less experienced than men34 Which of the following CANNOT be inferred from the second paragraph?（A）Levels of education are closely related to productivity.（B） Women are not as productive as men.（C） Women receive less education
36、 than men.（D）Goods produced by men are not as good as those by women.35 What does the author suggest that the government should do for women workers?（A）To ensure equal pay for women.（B） No solution is clearly suggested.（C） To give women more educaton.（D）To force employers to hire more women.36 What
37、would happen if women s wages were raised?（A）The imput of labor would be increased.（B） The unemployment rate would go up.（C） Those who have jobs would all become better off.（D）Women as a group would earn more than before.36 Mrs. Peters stopped playing the piano when she began to work. She had lived
38、in a very small flat, and there had been no room for a piano. But when she married, she had a new flat which was big enough for one. So she decided to get one and her husband agreed and helped her. She saved some money, and her parents gave her a generous amount of money for her birthday. Then she w
39、ent to a shop and said, “Ill choose whichever piano does not cost too much and fits into my living room. “When she had paid for the piano, the shop assistant asked her if she would like him to get it tuned(调音)every few months. Mrs. Peters agreed.A few months later she heard from the shop that a man
40、was coming to tune the piano at ten that morning. Now she had not cleaned the house yet, so it was dusty and untidy. Mrs. Peters hated having even the least amount of dirt, and felt ashamed whenever strange people saw her house like that. So she had to hurry to clean everything carefully. It meant a
41、 lot of effort, and it made her hot and tired, but anyhow, by the time the man arrived, everything was finished.She opened the door, and the man was standing with his big dog. “Good morning, “ the man said politely, “ Will it disturb you if I bring my dog in, please?

42、er I go. “37 Mrs. Peters was soon able to buy a piano because_.（A）her parents gave her all the money for it（B） she saved enough money for it（C） her husband and her parents gave her money（D）she saved some money and her relatives gave her the rest38 One morning, _.（A）a man was coming to repair her pia
