Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (35 points, 35 minutes)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are four tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the materials carefully and do the tasks as you are required.
Task 1 (10 points)
Directions:After reading the following passage you will found five questions or unfinished statements numbered 51 through 55. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A,) B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
People today are still talking about the generation gap(代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respect, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.
What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?
One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life-style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupation.
Parents often expect their children to do better than they do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.
Finally, the high speed of social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight (隔夜).
51.According to the passage, children today expect their parents to ________.
A) give them more independence C) live together with them
B) choose a good job for them D) make more money
52. Parents often hope that their children will ________.
A) make as much money as they do
B) be more successful than they are
C) choose jobs according to their own will
D) avoid doing what their parents can’t do
53. The generation gap has become wider than before because of ________.
A) the increasing dependence of their parents
B) the influence of traditional culture on children
C) the rapid changes of modern society
D) the missing of lifelong occupation
54. In today’s society, the knowledge of a lifetime ________.
A) is still very much valued
B) becomes out of date quickly
C) is essential for continuing family occupations
D) helps the young generation to find a better job
55. A proper title for this passage would be ________.
A) Parents’ Viewpoints on Generation Gap
B) Relationship Between Family Members
C) Generation Gap Between the Young and the Old
D) Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern Knowledge
Task 2 (10 points)
Directions:This part is the same as task 1. The 5 questions all unfinished
statements are numbered 56 through 60.
It’s 8:30, time for John to start work. So he turns on his radio. Then he eats breakfast. As he eats, he reads his e-mail and reviews his to-do list. Then he sits on the sofa and thinks about an article he needs to write. Wait a minute! Radio? Breakfast? Sofa? What kind of workplace is this? Well, actually it is John’s house, and he is a telecommuter--- he works at home, communicating with the workplace through the Internet.
Like John, millions of people --- and their employers --- are finding that telecommunicating is a great way to work. Telecommuters can follow their own schedules. They work in the comfort of their homes, where they can look after young children or elderly parents. They save time and money by not traveling to work. Their employers save, too, because they need less office space and furniture. Studies show that telecommuters change jobs
less often. This saves employers even more money. Telecommuting helps society, too, by reducing pollution and traffic problems.
Jobs that are suited to telecommuting include writing, design work, computer programming and accounting(会计). If a job involves working with information, a telecommuter can probably do it.
56. From the passage we know that John does his job ________.
A. by telephone
B. in his office
C. away from home
D. through the Internet
57. Which of the following is mentioned as one of the advantage of telecommuting?
A. One can get along well with co-workers.
B. One can work on one’s own schedule.
C. One can work for several employers.
D. One can enjoy a lot of traveling.
58. The passage tells us that telecommuters change jobs less often and so ________.
A. they can get more work experience
B. they will have a longer paid holiday
C. their employers can save more money
D. their employers will give them a higher pay
59. The phrase “suited to” (Line 1, Para. 3) means ________.
A. acceptable
B. difficult for
C. fit for
D. bad for
60. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. a new way to work
B. John’s working day
C. various workplaces
D. the Internet
Task 3 (10 points)
Directions:This part is the same as task 1. The 5 questions all unfinished
statements are numbered 61 through 65.
Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.
Decibels（分贝）measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.
Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frightened and confuse whales.
A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to
exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.
Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research.
Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.
61. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea
creatures?
A) The man-made noises. B) The noises made by themselves.
C) The sound of earthquakes. D) The sound of the ice-breaking.
62. Which of the following is discussed in the second paragraph?
A) Different places with different types of noises.
B) The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises.
C) The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.
D) The ocean animal’s reaction to noises.
63. As to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following is true?
A) They are deaf to noises.
B) Noises at a certain level may hurt them.
C) They are easily confused by noises.
D) Noises will limit their ability to reproduce.
64. What is the proposed noise limit for animals in the ocean?
A) 112 decibels. B)195 decibels C) 150 decibels. D) 120 decibels.
65. We can know from the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit of one
hundred twenty decibels would______.
A) prevent them from doing their research work
B) benefit them a lot in their research work
C) do good to their health
D) increase the industrial output
