13、 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.31 It is estimated that some seven hundred million
14、peopleabout half the worlds adult populationare unable to read or write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty mil lion more whose level of achievement in reading is so small that it can hardly be thought of as literacy.Recently the attack on illiteracy has been speeded up. A world plan has b
15、een made by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris as part of the United Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO says that functional literacy is the aim. People must have the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, pric
16、e-lists；to keep simple records and accounts and to fill in forms.The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, Africa, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, comprising eighty to eighty-five percent of the total population. In Europe the figure is a
17、bout twenty-four million, most of whom are in Southern Europe. Britain has about seven hundred thousand.31 The figure of world illiteracy was obtained by _.（A）a committee of UNESCO（B） experts in Paris（C） an international organization（D）none of the above32 From the Passage, we learn that the total po

21、 if they try to race through a passage faster, they fail to take in what they have read. At the end, they have been so busy “reading faster“ that they cannot re member what the passage was about. The problem here is that the material they are practicing on is either too difficult for them in vocabul
22、ary or content, or not sufficiently interesting. We hope that the passages in this course material will be both interesting and fairly easy, but you should also practice as much as you can in your own time. Read things you tike reading. Go to the subject catalogue in the library. Biography, sport, d
23、omestic science, the cinema . there is bound to be some area that interests you and in which you can find books of about your level of ability or just below.If you want a quick check on how easy a book is, read through three or four pages at random. If there are, on average, more than five or six wo
24、rds on each page that are completely new to you, then the book is not suitable for reading-speed improvement. 36 This passage is mainly about how to _（A）use the passages in a reading course（B） develop reading comprehension（C） improve reading speed（D）make a good use of the library37 The expression “b
25、ooks of about your level of ability.“ in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _（A）the books about your ability（B） the books about your height（C） the books that you could find（D）the books that you can understand38 According to this passage, if you could not understand a passage, you _（A）may n
26、ot sit in the library（B） probably dont know its background（C） may not have practiced on reading it（D）probably think it is too easy for you to read39 If a book has seven or more new words on each page, a reader who wants to practice reading speed _ .（A）will probably drop it（B） will probably read it v

28、mportant examinations were spoken, not written. In the school of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poems aloud or giving speechesIn the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study
29、 with people who had made a special study of .the subject.This custom exists today as part of the process testing candidates for the Doctors Degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all the students are tested on the same questions, was probably not
30、 known until the nineteenth century. It perhaps came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, is similar to a group of worke
31、rs at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations, teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an “objective“ test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test, the teacher writes a series of questi
32、ons, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that are like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.41 In the Middle Ages, students _.（A）took objective tests（B） specialized in one subjec
33、t（C） sat in a room full of candidates（D）never wrote in exams42 Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that _ .（A）workers now take examinations（B） the population has grown（C） there are only written examinations today（D）examinations are usually written and timed now43 The kind of examinations in which students m
34、ust select answers is _（A）subjective（B） spoken（C） objective（D）informal44 According to the passage, modern industry must have developed _ .（A）before the Middle Ages（B） about in the nineteenth century（C） in Greece or Rome（D）machines to take tests45 It may be concluded that testing _.（A）should deal wit
35、h only opinions（B） should always be written（C） has changed since the Middle Ages（D）is given only in factories46 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that its painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy c
36、ycle.During the hours When you labor through your work you may say that you re hot. Thats true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No
37、one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as: “Get up, John! Youll be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize
38、what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗) your cycl
39、e to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This wont change your cycle, but youll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start, whi
40、ch saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn(呵欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Where ever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requ
41、iring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.46 If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _（A）he is a lazy person（B） he refuses to follow his own energy cycle（C） he is not sure when his energy is low（D）he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening47 Which of the follow
42、ing may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?（A）Unawareness of energy cycles.（B） Familiar monologues.（C） A change in a family members energy cycle.（D）Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.48 If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he
43、should _（A）change his energy cycle（B） overcome his laziness（C） get up earlier than usual（D）go to bed earlier49 You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _（A）help to keep your energy for the days work（B） help you to control your temper early in the day（C） enable you to concentra
44、te on your routine work（D）keep your energy cycle under control all day50 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save ones energy.（B） Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.（C） Habit helps one adapt to his
