学习必备 欢迎下载 网络学院一年级复习题 2004.4.Part I Reading Comprehension(15%)Directions:There are three reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D;Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:What makes it rain?Rain falls from clouds for the same reason as anything that falls to Earth.The Earths gravity pulls it.But every cloud is made of water droplets or ice crystals.Why doesnt rain or snow fall constantly from all clouds?The droplets or ice crystals in clouds are exceedingly small.The effect of gravity on them is minute.Air currents move and lift droplets so that the net downward displacement is zero,even though the droplets are in constant motion.Droplets and ice crystals behave somewhat like dust in the air made visible in a shaft of sunlight.To the casual observer,dust seems to act in a totally random fashion,moving about chaotically(混乱地)without fixed direction.But in fact dust particles are much larger than water droplets and they finally fall.The cloud droplet of average size is only 1/5,000 inch in diameter.It is so small that it would take sixteen hours to fall half a mile in perfectly still air,and it does not fall out of moving air at all.Only when the droplet grows to a diameter of 1/125 inch or larger can it fall from the cloud.The average raindrop contains a million times as much water as a tiny cloud droplet,The growth of a cloud droplet to a size large enough to fall out is the cause of rain and other forms of precipitation(降水).This important growth process is called coalescence.1.What is the main topic of the passage?A.The mechanics of rain.B.The climate of North America C.How gravity affects ice crystals.D.Types of clouds.2.The word minute in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to which of the following?A.Second.B.Tiny.C.Slow.D.Predictable.3.Why dont all ice crystals in clouds immediately fall to Earth?A.They are balanced by the pressure of rain droplets.B.The effect of gravity at high altitude is random.学习必备 欢迎下载 C.They are kept aloft by air currents.D.The heat from the suns rays melts them.4.What can be inferred about drops of water 1/5,000 inch in diameter?A.They never occur.B.They are not affected by the force of gravity.C.In still air they would fall to Earth.D.In moving air they fall at a speed of thirty-two miles per hour.5.In this passage,what does the term coalescence refer to?A.The gathering of small clouds to form larger clouds.B.The growth of droplets.C The fall of raindrops and other precipitation.D The movement of dust panicles in the sunlight.Questions 6 to 10 are hosed on the following passage:Many countries face a somewhat more serious economic problem in the form of an unfavorable trade balance with other nations.Such an imbalance exists when the total value of a countrys imports exceeds that of its exports.For example,if a country buys$25 billion of products from other countries,yet sells only$10 billion of its own products overseas,its trade deficit(贸易逆差)is$15 billion.Many underdeveloped nations find themselves in this position because they lack natural resources or the industrial capacity to use these resources,and thus have to import raw materials or manufactured goods.One effect of a trade deficit is the flow of currency out of a country,in the case of an underdeveloped nation,this can cause many financial difficulties,including failure to meet debt payments and obstacles to creation of an industrial base.Even in the case of a fully developed nation such as the United States,a large trade deficit is a reason for alarm.American products,made by well-paid workers in U.S.industries,cost more to produce than those made in places like Asia,where labor and material costs are much lower.Money spent on foreign products is money not spent on items produced by domestic industries.6.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.Some worldwide economic problems.B.The cause and consequences of trade deficit.C.Lack of resources in underdeveloped countries.策略学习必备欢迎下载学习必备 欢迎下载 D.High labor and material costs in developed countries 7.According to the passage,a trade imbalance occurs when _.A.a country is facing serious financial problems B.a country buys more from other countries than it sells overseas C.the value of a countrys exports is greater than that of its imports D.products imported are more expensive than those exported 8.Many underdeveloped countries have trade deficits because _.A.they failed to meet debt payments B.they export most of their natural resources to other countries C.they borrow too much money from other countries D.they have to import most of their manufactured products 9.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible cause of a trade imbalance?A.The flow of currency out of the country.B.Low labor and material costs in Asian countries.C.Lack of natural resources.D.An undeveloped industrial base.10.It can be inferred from this passage that American industries _.A.do not pay their workers sufficiently B.are hurt by a trade imbalance C.imported labor and material from abroad D.are able to prevent a trade deficit Questions 11 to 15 we based on the following passage:Newspapers,along with reporting the news,instruct,entertain,and give opinion.An important way for reading a large,big-city newspaper is knowing how to take it apart.Can you find these separate sections:world news,national and local news,sports,business,entertainment,opinions,classified ads?Does your paper have other sections?News stories give facts,not the authors opinions.Editorials do the opposite:you can expect an editorial to take sides.Some newspaper editorials have a by-line with the authors name,but many newspapers have unsigned editorials.These reflect the opinions of the publisher or editor.You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper.For example,you can expect headlines to omit unnecessary words.You can expect to find the most important facts in the lead paragraph(the first paragraph)of a news story.You can expect 策略学习必备欢迎下载学习必备 欢迎下载 important news items to be on the front page.You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.Most of all,the more you know
