Reading Comprehension (40 points, 2 points for each item)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by so

14、me 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 on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and th

15、ey help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warship，with which to gain itself an empire(帝国). It gained the empire, but, without i

16、ts trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by flood and starvation(饥饿，饿死). Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. The villagers want w

17、ood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood.They are usually too lazy to plant and look after the trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear. This does not only mean that the villagers children

18、and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows

19、away from the surface, causing flood. 31. What is the most important function of trees? A. Providing fuel. B. Offering shade.C. Preventing natural disaster. D. Providing wood.32. What eventually happened to the empire in the paragraph?A. Its people died of hunger. B. It fell to pieces.C. It became a

20、 giant empire. D. It built many ships with wood.33. It is implied in the passage that the villagers_A. want a plentiful supply of trees. B. want firewood badly.C. just want to get money. D. dont realize the importance of trees.34. The role of trees is to_A. loosen soil B. keep soil in position C. ha

21、rden soil D. both A and B35. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. The benefits of trees. B. Trees and soil protectionC. The various uses of trees. D. Different attitudes toward trees. Passage 2Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are h

22、ealthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the job-less are in poorer health than jobholders. Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest ar

23、e those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The l

24、oss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill. Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment（满足感） and a sense of achievement（成就感）. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a

25、patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be.

31、 me think about it for 48 hours before making the final decision.When I talked to my wife about this, she thought I was doing the right thing and said, “Look, you know Ill always support you, whatever you want to do.” So it really was a decision that I had to make for myself.

36、e. Passage 4Languages are remarkably complex and wonderfully complicated organs of culture. They contain the quickest and the most efficient means of communicating within their respective culture.
