Part II Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are three passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four
choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and
mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
The struggle against malnutrition (营养不良) and hunger is as old as man himself, and never across the face of our planet has the outcome been more in doubt. Malnutrition afflicts (折磨) an estimated 400 million to 1.5 billion of the world’s poor. Even in the affluent U.S., poverty means undernourishment for an estimated ten to twenty million. Hardest hit are children, whose growing bodies demand two and a half times more protein, than those of adults. Nutrition experts estimate that 70 percent of the children in low-income countries are affected.
Misshapen bodies tell the tragic story of malnutrition. Medical science identifies two major types of malnutrition which usually occur in combination. The first, kwashiorkor, is typified by the bloated（肿胀的）look, the opposite of what we associate with starvation. Accumulated fluids pushing against wasted muscles account for the plumpness of hands, feet, belly and face. Caused by an acute lack of protein, kwashiorkor can bring brain damage, irritability, loss of appetite and so on.
On the other hand, stick limbs, a bloated belly, wide eyes, and the stretched-skin face of an old person mark victims of marasmus, a word taken from the Greek “to waste away”. Lacking calories as well as protein, sufferers may weigh only half as much as normal. With fat gone, the skin hangs in wrinkles or draws tight over bones. Children, those growing bodies require large amounts of protein, are afflicted in greatest numbers, but perhaps only three percent of all child victims suffer the extreme stages described.
Scientists are working hard to develop new weapons against malnutrition and starvation. But two thirds of the human population of 3.9 billion live in the poorest countries which also have the highest birth rates. Thus, of the 74 million people added to the population each year, four out of five will be born in a have-not country---a country unable to supply its people’s nutritional needs.
21. Malnutrition is ___________.
A. not as serious as before
B. as serious as before
C. more serious than before
D. inclined to be less serious
22. The phrase “waste away” (Line 2, Para.3) means____________.
A. become thinner
B. lose
C. misshape
D. under-nourish
23. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. The majority of children suffer the most serious stages of marasmus.
B. Malnutrition has afflicted millions of people all over the world.
C. Both types of malnutrition are caused by lack of protein.
D. The struggle against malnutrition has a long history.
24. It can be inferred from the passage that the struggle against malnutrition is_____.
A. certain to succeed
B. likely to succeed
C. certain to fail
D. hard to succeed
25. All the conclusions the writer makes are correct EXCEPT ________.
A. Malnutrition is a serious global problem.
B. The high rate of population growth is irresponsible for malnutrition.
C. Scientists are working hard to cope with the food problem.
D. Children suffer most because they need more protein than adults.
Questions 26 to 27 are based on the following passage:
One of the most exciting attempts to find the source of the Mississippi was made by the Italian Constantino Beltrami. Aged 41, in Italy he had been a magistrate (地方法官) and student of the classic. In the New World, however, he was interested in exploration—not so much for reasons of scientific curiosity but in response to romantic dreams nourished by literary and mythological study. Setting out from St. Louis in 1823, he traveled as far as Fort Snelling by boat and then proceeded up river by canoe, accompanied by three Indians. The journey was an adventurous one. On August 23, 1823, Beltrami came to a small lake in what is now northern Minnesota, which he called Lake Julia in memory of a woman he had loved, and which he proclaimed to be the source of the Mississippi. His romantic self-comparison to Icarus, the Phoenicians, Marco Polo and Columbus, however, was not calculated to satisfy geographers, for he had no compass with which to determine his location. When he returned to New Orleans, he related his travels and as a result, he was welcomed in Europe and became a member of several academies, while Lafayette and Chateaubriand honored him with their friendship. In America, on the other hand, many regarded him as an imposter（冒名顶替的人）.
Nine years after Beltrami, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, the United States Superintendent(负责人) of Indian Affairs proclaimed “Itasca”--- a lake in Minnesota—the true source of the Mississippi.
His claim that Lake Itasca was the source of the Mississippi was accepted for many years, but many geologists now disagree. Accurate recent surveys show that a spring flows into it from Elk Lake, and that this in turn is linked with yet other lakes, which may be collectively regarded as the source of the great river.
26. Beltrami liked to explore because_________.
A.he wanted to do some scientific research
B.he was very curious about the world
C.he wanted to make his dreams come true
D.he was fascinated by scientific discoveries
27.T he word “relate” (Line 11, Para. 1) means___________.
A. connect
B. compare
C. tell
D. contrast
28. Which of the following statements is true?
A. He received warm welcome in America.
B. Lake Itasca was undoubtedly the source of the Mississippi.
C. Beltrami wasn’t a profe ssional explorer.
D. Beltrami wanted to find the source of the Mississippi single-handed.
29. Which of the following persons has been mentioned as explorers in the passage?
A. Lafayette
B. Henry Rowe Schoolcraft
C. Chateaubriand
D. the Phoenicians
30. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The Source of the Mississippi.
B. The History of the Mississippi.
C. The Mystery of the Mississippi.
D. The Description of the Mississippi.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Every second, one hectare of the world’s rainforest is destroyed. That’s equivalent to two football fields. An area the size of New York City is lost every day. In a year, that adds up to 31 million hectares—more than the land area of Poland. This alarming rate of destruction has serious consequences for the environment; scientists estimate, for example, that 137 species of plant, insect or animal become extinct every day due to logging (砍伐). In British Columbia, where, since 1990, 13 rainforest valleys have been clear cut, 142 species of salmon have already become extinct, and the habitats of grizzly(灰的) bears, wolves and many other creatures are threatened. Logging, however, provides jobs, profits, taxes for the government and cheap products of all kinds for consumers, so the government is reluctant to restrict or control it.
Much of Canadian forestry production goes towards making pulp(纸浆) and paper. According to the Canadian Pulp and Paper Association, Canada supplies 34% of the world’s wood pulp and 49% of its newsprint paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way, Canadian forests could be preserved. Recently, a possible alternative way of producing paper has been suggested by agriculturalists and environmentalists: a plant called hemp(大麻).
Hemp has been cultivated by many cultures for thousands of years. It produces fibre which can be made into paper, fuel, oils, textiles, food, and rope. For many centuries, it was essential to the economies of many countries because it was used to make the ropes and cables used on sailing ships; colonial expansion and the establishment of a world-wide trading network would not have been possible without hemp. Nowadays, ships’ cables are usually made from wire or synthetic fibers, but scientists are now suggesting that the cultivation of hemp should be revived for the production of paper and pulp. According to its proponents, four times as much paper can be produced from land using hemp rather than trees, and many environmentalists believe that the large-scale cultivation of hemp could reduce the pressure on Canada’s forests.
31. How long does it take for 300 hectares of rainforest to be destroyed?
A. One minute.
B. Two minutes.
C. Three minutes.
D. Five minutes.
32. The following are the reasons why logging is hard to control EXCEPT that ______.
A. it provides taxes for the country
B. it offers extra jobs
C. it supplies people with cheap products
D. it leads to the erosion of the land
33. Why is pulp and paper production important in Canada?
A. Because it plays a vital role in Canada’s economy.
B. Because it provides many jobs for Canadians.
C. Because it enjoys a long history in Canada.
D. Because it helps produce newspapers and magazines.
34. Hemp was essential to many countries in the past because ________.
A. sailors needed it for food
B. ropes on ships were made from it
C. ships used it as fuel
D. it was exported to many other countries
35. The advantage of hemp in paper production over trees is ________.
A. higher quality
B. more output
C. cleaner environment
D. cheaper labor

大学英语四级专项训练
大学英语四级专项训练——选词填空 （一） Americans are proud of their variety and individualty, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform. Why are uniforms so __1__ in the United States Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more __2__ than civilian（百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to __3__ superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to __4__ more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the __5__ of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What an easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to __6__ professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform Uniforms also have many __7__ benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of __8__ experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without __9__, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act __10__, on the job at least. [A]skill [B]popular [C]get [D]change [E]similarly 、[F]professional [G]character [H]individuality [I] inspire [J] differently [K]expect [L]practical [M] recall [N] lose [O] ordinary （二） 、 Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can __1__ performance at work and school. Cognitive( 认识派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on __2__ and gifts from others. The latter view has gained many supporters, __3__ among educators. But the careful use of small __4__ rewards speaks creativity in grade school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements( 刺激) indeed __5__inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. “If kids know they’re working f or a reward and can focus on a relatively __6__ task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to __7__ creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .
