Reading Comprehension (75 Point

15、s)Directions: there are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneA special research team organize

16、d and sent out from the local medical center to perform experiments on completely blind infants. The test samples included twenty completely blind infants, who lived at home with their mothers or families. The research workers would visit the infants and closely observe the development of their sens

17、es and behavior every two weeks.In most cases, the research workers tested the responses of the blind infants to different stimuli common in the family environment. Generally speaking, a normal baby would react with smiles and laughter to tickling, to the voice of a relative, and to hugging from his

18、 family. His reactions were swift and fleet. Nevertheless, most of the blind infants, according to the experiments, responded to stimuli impassively. In fact, they were apathetic and indifferent to any sound. But under some special circumstances, some of them were able to react to the sound of their

19、 mothers with a smile. Usually, their response was very slow and phlegmatic.The tests were conducted over a nine-month period; they began when the blind infants were one month old and ended when they were ten months old.31. According to this passage the blind infants_.A. were taken to live with the

20、research workersB. lived at home with their mothersC. were tested at the medical centerD. were members of large families32. The responses of the blind infants to the stimuli _.A. were the same as the normal infantsB. were different at first but later the same as the normal infantsC. were slower than

21、 normal infantsD. were swift and speedy33. Which of the following statements is true?A. A normal baby responded to stimuli impassivelyB. A normal babys reaction to the sound was phlegmaticC. A group of nurses took care of the blind infants at the medical centerD. Some of the blind infants were able

22、to respond to their mothers voice34. How were the experiments conducted?A. The scientists tested them at the medical center.B. The blind infants were visited by research workers every two weeks.C. The blind infants were made to compare with the normal infants.D. Their mothers were invited to tickle

23、them.35. According to the passage, the blind infants_.A. reacted with smiles to hugging from their mothersB. were tested for almost a yearC. lacked in feeling to the soundD. were happy with their familiesPassage TwoThe Norwegian government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A

24、new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern-end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of get

25、ting over such problems and few people believe that the government will be able to hold things back for long. As one Norwegian politician said last week, “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.Ever since the war, the government has been carrying out a program of development in the area nort

26、h of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this program has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole no

27、rthern policy could be in ruins.The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose most of their workers to the oil industry. Some s

28、maller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most the population, but they are an important part of it because Norwegians see in them many

29、 of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.36. The Norwegian government would prefer the oil industry to _.A. provide

30、 more jobs for foreign workersB. slow down the rate of its developmentC. sell the oil it is producing abroadD. develop more quickly than at present37. The Norwegian government has tried to _.A. encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sourcesB. prevent oil companies employing people from nort

31、hern NorwayC. help the oil companies solve many of their problemsD. keep the oil industry to something near its present size38. According to the passage, the oil industry might lead in northern Norway to _.A. the development of industry B. a growth in populationC. the failure of the development prog

32、ramD. the development of new towns39. In the south, one effect of the development of the oil industry might be _.A. a large reduction in unemploymentB. a growth in the tourist industryC. a reduction in the number of existing industriesD. the development of a number service industry40. Norwegian farm

33、ers and fishermen have an important influence because _.A. they form such a large part of Norwegian societyB. their lives and values represent the Norwegian idealC. their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian societyD. they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of lifePassage ThreeIt is d

34、ifficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought in the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to

35、 keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain

36、pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat. Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage

37、 capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words” ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of i

38、nformation that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a persons memory is in terms of words and combinations o

39、f words.41According to the passage, memory is considered to be .Athe basis for decision making and problem solvingBan ability to store experiences for future use.Can intelligence typically possessed by human beingsDthe data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words42The comparison made be

40、tween the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that .Athe computers memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenagersBthe computers memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human beingsCthe computers memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenagersDboth A

41、and B43The whole passage implies that .Aonly human beings have problem-solving intelligenceBa persons memory is different from a computers in every respectCanimals are able to solve only very simple problemsDanimals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence44The phrase “in terms of ” in t

42、he last sentence can best be replaced by .Ain connection withBexpressed byCconsistingDby means of45The topic of the passage is “ ”.AWhat would life be like without memoryBMemory is of vital importance to lifeCHow is a persons memory different from an animals or a computers DWhat is contained in memo

43、ryPassage Four When scientists are trying to understand a particular set of phenomena, they often make use of a model. A model, in the scientists sense, is a kind of analogy or mental image of the phenomena in terms of something we are familiar with. One example is the wave model of light. We cannot

44、 see light as if it were made up of waves because experiments on light indicate that it behaves in many respects as water waves do. The purpose of a model is to give us a mental or visual picture something to hold onto when we cannot see what is actually happening. Models often give us a deeper unde

45、rstanding: the analogy to a known system (for instance, water waves in the above example) can suggest new experiments to perform and can provide ideas about what other related phenomena might occur. 46. The author is concerned with an explanation of the term _ A. wave B. model C. analogy D. all of the above 47. Another example of a scientific model would be _ A. a map B. a paper airplane C. an atom D. a light bulb 48. Why are models necessary? A. They connect invisible phenomena to those we are familiar with. B. Scientists
