Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then,
8、mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark br
9、own. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the while one. Dark brown made people more active, but the act
10、ivity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an
11、 ordinary rooma nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable roo
12、ms than in ordinary-looking or ugly ones.21 Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?（A）People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly rooms.（B） The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the be
13、havior of the people in it.（C） The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of a room on peoples behavior.（D）Beautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms.22 What is referred to as the “general appearance“ in this passage is_.（A）how m
14、any broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come in（B） the size of a room（C） whether there are beautiful walls in a room（D）what the room looks like23 This passage provides us with _.（A）a piece of scientific information（B） a normal lesson（C） an interesting test（D）a piece of news24 At l
15、east how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?（A）Three.（B） Two.（C） Only one.（D）Four.24 There are many commonly held beliefs about eyeglasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes.
16、But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have the wrong glasses.We have all heard s
17、ome of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes pool eyesight, but that is unique. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too muc
18、h television. But, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain, and as i
19、f yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eyethe cornea and the retinacan be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, someday a full transplant may be possible!25 This passage is mostly about _.（A）different types of e
20、yeglasses（B） a visit to the eye doctor（C） myths about eyesight（D）cornea transplants26 One cause of eyestrain mentioned in the passage is_.（A）wearing contact lenses too long（B） going to the movies（C） reading a lot（D）not visiting your eye doctor27 From this passage one can conclude that _.（A）doctors a
21、re still learning things about eyesight（B） headaches are only caused by eyestrain（C） everyone should wear glasses（D）people only believe things that are proven facts 28 The word “develop“ is used to mean_.（A）become larger（B） create（C） train（D）acquire28 Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the
22、ancient game of court tennis, which probably came up in Egypt or Persia some 2,500 years ago. Major Walter Wingfield thought that something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his new game, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. T
23、he sport became popular very rapidly, but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being replaced by the very simple and logical term “lawn tennis“.By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridg
24、e returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game. With the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and there, in the spring of 1874, Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends pl
25、ayed the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.And just two years later, in 1876, the first United States lawn tennis tournament (锦标赛) was heldat Nahant near Boston.29 Mary Outerbridge is important in the history of lawn tennis because _.（A）she invented it（B） she gave it its name（C） she int

28、ives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition; to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said; “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day! “For seve
29、ral weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manag
30、er of the supermarket would approach her and say,“ Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea an
31、d went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,“ he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you!

34、s a breeze for Nigel. The reward was certainly incomparable to the little effort that he had to put it. It began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories.The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competi
35、tion. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding his robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition as well as another competi
36、tor, Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even
37、helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicias and it was able to bounce a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything dawned on her the
38、 minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigels face. The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists judgments were the same. Nige
39、l was so pleased with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him.
