12、illSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark youranswers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1While staring out of the window during a flight, not everyone will think carefully about the questio

13、n why airplaneshave rounded windows rather than square ones.Over the years, aerospace engineering has made huge steps in airplane technology, meaning planes can carry more passengers and go faster. The planes have also changed shape to increase safetyincluding the windows. As commercial air travel t

14、ook off in the mid20th century, airline companies began to fly at higher altitudes to lower their cost-the air density（密度）is lower up there, creating less drag。阻力）for airplanes. However, higher altitudes came with problems, like the fact human beings cant really survive at 30, 000 feet. To make that

15、 possible, the cabin was changed to a cylindrical（圆柱体） shape to support the pressure inside. But at first, plane builders left in the standard square windows and this expansion meant disaster. The de Havilland Comet came into fashion in the 1950s. With a closed cabin, it was able to go higher and fa

16、ster than other aircraft.However, where there9s a corner, there9s a weak spot. Windows, having four corners, have four potential weak spots, making them likely to crash under stress一such as air pressure. By curving the window, the stress that would eventually break the window corner is distributed a

17、nd the chance of it breaking is reduced. Rounded shapes are also stronger and resist deformation（变形）,and can thus survive the extreme differences in pressure between the inside and outside of the aircraft.Fortunately, designers figured out the lack of design pretty quick. Now we have nice, rounded a

18、irplane windows that can resist the pressure of traveling altitude. It gives being able to gaze out of your window to the world from 35, 000 feet a whole new outlook, doesnt it?1、Why did airlines aim to fly at higher altitudes?A. To save money for less drag.B. To help the plane to take off.C. To inc

19、rease safety of the plane.D , To carry more passengers and go faster.2、What does the underlined words “de Havilland Comet“ in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. An aircraft. B. A band.C. A planet.D. A design.3、Which is the advantage of the rounded window?A. It increases the air pressure.B. It weakens the stren

20、gth of air pressure.C. It reduces the possibility of breaking up.D. It helps to survive the extreme weather.4、Where does this text come from?A. A newspaper on safe driving.B. A science book on flying.C. A website on survival skills.D. A magazine on fashion design.Text 2Over the past century, an alar

21、ming number of animals have become endangered or even extinct. Below are some animals whose numbers have been rapidly dropping in recent years.Panda BearOne of the biggest reasons contributing to the decline in the panda species is the destruction of its natural habitat. Farmers in China have gradua

22、lly been claiming more and more of the land. As a result, pandas are forced to move away to places where it is hard to find bamboo for food.Green TurtleThe green sea turtle species has survived fbr several millions of years, so you might wonder why its only becoming endangered now. A major cause is

23、the change in climate and temperature, which both affect the hatching rates of turtle eggs. Climate changes also cause violent weather and rising water levels to flood areas where turtles usually go to lay their eggs. Apart from this, oil spills and other poisonous pollution, as well as increased fi

24、shing activities can cause sickness, or even death to the green turtles.CheetahCheetahs are famous for being the fastest animal on land but even they cant run from some of the larger threats that have harmed them. Like the panda bears, cheetahs have gradually been losing their natural homes due to h

25、umans claiming land and developing in those areas. To make matters even worse, smaller animals move away when these areas are occupied, which means that the cheetah has less food! Dont forget that other large animals, such as lions, are also fighting fbr any food that they can find, so occasionally

26、young cheetahs end up as prey too.Indian ElephantElephants are extremely intelligent animals and also the largest mammals that live on land. Sadly, in Asia many elephants were killed so that people could remove their tusks to use as decorative objects. While this practice has been banned now, some p

27、eople still illegally continue. Forests in India have also been steadily destroyed and elephants are sometimes killed when they end up on human territory.1、Humans9 increasing demand fbr land doesnt affect the number of.A. Indian elephants B. cheetahsC. panda bears D. green turtles2、We can save the l

28、argest mammals living on land by.A. planting more bamboosB. helping them find matesC. stopping hunting themD. preventing poisonous pollution3、The living conditions of the fastest animal on land become worse because.A. forests have been destroyedB. they are threatened by humans and larger animalsC. p

29、eople are fond of hunting wild animalsD. no law bans people from removing their tusksText 3Nobel prize winners sometimes display as much uniqueness when deciding how to spend their prize money as they did on the work that won them the award in the first place.When Sir Paul Nurse won the Nobel Prize

30、for Medicine in 2001, he decided to upgrade his motorbike. A fellow winner in 1993, Richard Roberts, installed a croquet lawn in front of his house. Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek, who won in 2004, said the prize meant financial independence.”Lars Heikensten, executive director of the Nobel Founda

31、tion, said there were no obvious shopping trends among winners.“I think it depends a lot on which country they come from, their personal finances. what kind of incomes they have when they get the prize J he said.Real estate, however, is a popular option, at least among those willing to reveal what t

32、hey spend the money on. Phillip Sharp, the American co-winner of the 1993 medicine prize, decided to splash out on a 100-year-old Federal style housed took that money and bought a little bit bigger house. Ifs a beautiful old place,“ he told AFP（法新社），adding that “The money is a nice part of the proce

33、ss”, but the important thing about the prize is the recognition.For winners of the peace prize the decision is often more clear-cut, as the honor tends to go to politicians, organizations and activists who are under more public supervision. Many, like US President Barack Obama in 2009 and the Europe

34、an Union in 2012, donate to charities.Literature winners tend to be more private about how they use the money, but the choice is often equally straightforward. “Even if Nobel-winning authors are quite well known, many of them will not have made much money from writing,* said Anna Gunder, a Nobel lit

35、erature expert at Uppsala University. While the prize might keep the wolf from the door for some years, giving them freedom to write, it can also briefly have the opposite effect. It really changes their careers. During the first year after theyve won they often write less, but they generally contin

36、ue after a year or two J said Gunder.1、From the passage, we learn that.A. the money is actually the best part of the Nobel PrizeB. Nobel winners have great originality in using prize moneyC. few winners would spend their prize money on housesD. winners become more independent on their country2、Which

37、 of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase clear-cut“ in paragraph 6?A. openB. privateC. uniqueD. complex3、 According to the passage, in the first year after winning Noble Prize, literature winners may.A. become less productiveB. make more money from writingC , have the freedom

38、 to create more and better worksD. disappear from the public eyes for a period of timeText 4Being attractive isnt usually considered much of a disadvantage in todays world. Actually, there is the endless potential benefit about it, but researchers have found one area that being pretty makes life a c

39、hallenge securing yourself a boring, low-paying job.This stands in contrast to a large body of research that attractiveness, in general, helps candidates in the selection process.For the most part good looks is a blessing. We treat pretty people more favorably in general, often vote for them more in

40、 elections, and pay them more in their professions. The research suggests that attractive people may be discriminated against in selection for relatively less desirable jobs.Researchers carried out four experiments involving more than 750 participants, including university students and managers who

41、make hiring decisions in the real world. Participants were shown photos of two potential job candidates, one attractive and the other unattractive. Participants were then asked a series of questions designed to measure their opinions of the job candidates and whether they would hire these candidates

42、 for a less-than-desirable job.The less desirable jobs included a warehouse worker, housekeeper, customer service representative and the more desirable jobs included things like a manager, project director, IT elite（精英）. In all experiments where they were asked, participants were significantly less

43、likely to hire the attractive candidate for the less desirable job and more likely to hire the attractive candidate for the more desirable job.Ms Lee said, In the selection decision for an undesirable job, decision makers were more likely to choose the unattractive individual over the attractive ind

44、ividual. Co-author Dr Madan Pillutla said, “It is interesting that decision makers consider others opinions in their decisions. They thought that attractive individuals would want better outcomes, and therefore would be less satisfied, so they favored unattractive candidates when selecting fbr a les

45、s desirable job/5The research also suggests the established view that attractive candidates are favored when applying for jobs might be limited to high-level jobs.1、What do people generally think of being attractive?A. It is a disadvantage.B. It is a blessing.C. it is not important.D. It has nothing

46、 to do with jobs.2、What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The participants of the experimentB. The importance of the experimentC. The process of the experimentD. The result of the experiment.3、An ordinary-looking graduate may have an advantage when applying for.A , a managerB. a project director

47、C , a warehouse workerD. an IT elite4、Why are less attractive applicants preferred for less desirable jobs?A. Because they are more hardworking.B. Because they will be more satisfied.C. Because they have no requirements at all.D. Because they will want better outcomes.5、Which of the following agrees

48、 with the research?A. Attractive people are more fit for high-level jobs.B. Less attractive people are easy to find high-level jobs.C. Attractive people can always be hired when applying for jobs.D. Less attractive people can easily get highly paid if they work hard.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered para
