　Part 11 Reading Comprehension (40 % )

　　
Directions : There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or un-finished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best oneand mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.

　　Passage 1

　　Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a powerstruggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter ad-olescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, andmake decisions without parental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal withtheir teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent-training courses. Parents want to

　　maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behaviorwill be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive.

　　But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree

　　about what is important and what is right.

　　Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels mayalso concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sex behav-ior. Some famihes have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home,or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impres-sion that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, andnearly all grow up into "solid citizens" who fulfill most of their parents' expectations. In fact, recentstudies show that the "generation gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of theirparents' values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.

　　Passage 2

　　The annual campaign to make Singapore's three million people more polite ended yesterday and was immediately followed by another drive to get them to be punctual.

　　Tardiness is not yet a criminal offence in the island republic, and the National Punctuality Work-ing Committee can only use gentle persuasion. "Being on time means being considerate," said com-mittee chairman Toh Weng Cheng. Previous drives made little headway in changing a deeply rootedhabit that seems oddly out of place in this otherwise efficient city-state. Tardiness at dinner parties isusually attributed to Chinese tradition, a belief that older and more important guests were expected tomake an entrance after the others.

　　Meanwhile, officials will assess the results of the 15th annual courtesy (禮貌) campaign, a HK$ 2.4 million drive to persuade Singaporeans to mind their manners. Earlier courtesy campaigns usedposters, films, advertisements in newspapers and magazines to portray considerate behavior. The pub-licity this year stressed courtesy through examples of discourtesy. Few countries use elaborate publiccampaigns to change behavior and raise civic consciousness. It has been a way of life in Singapore formore than 30 years. Some, like the courtesy drive, deal with basic habits and culture. October wasfirst declared "Speak Mandarin Month" in 1978, an effort to wipe out regional Chinese dialects in fa-vor of the official tongue.

　　Others focus on problems of the day. The police launched a drive in 1989 to stop abuse of theemergency phone number 999, because one call in five was of the nuisance or non-emergency variety.Some campaigns have been so successful that they have been reversed. Family planners urged parentsto "Stop at Two" in 1978. Birth rates dropped from 3.5 percent in 1960 to 1.2 percent in 1980, andfamilies who can afford it are now encouraged to "Have Three or More". By the early 1980s, thegrowth of campaigns inspired one exhausted newspaper columnist to suggest a "take your campaignsseriously campaign".

　　21. In the passage, the word " tardiness" (Line 1, Paragraph 2 ) most probably means__________.

　　A. punctuality

　　B. impoliteness

　　C. dishonesty

　　D. lateness

　　22. The courtesy drive was launched in Singapore to__________.

　　A. develop appropriate personal habits

　　B. stress the importance of punctuality

　　C. make the people more polite

　　D. urge the officials to be on time

　　23. When did the campaign to standardize spoken language begin?

　　A. In 1960.

　　B. In 1978.

　　C. In 1980.

　　D. In 1989.

　　24. Which of the following is NOT true?

　　A. Singapore has always been a highly efficient country in every way.

　　B. The campaigns are not always very effective in Singapore.

　　C. Singapore does its best to make its people more polite.

　　D. Not all the campaigns are launched every year.

　　25. Which of the following statements is not directly said but implied in the passage?

　　A. All the campaigns are to improve people's behavior.

　　B. There are too many campaigns in Singapore.

　　C. The more campaigns, the more efficient they are.

　　D. Almost all campaigns in Singapore don't amount to anything. "

　　Passage 3

　　How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on thecase. An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your per-formanee on your phone.

　　The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Ve-gas this week. It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhonevia a Bluetooth wireless connection.

　　The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right ( don't forget the insides of the teeth ! )and make sure you're brushing long enough. "It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch yourbrushing on a day-to-day basis," says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.

　　The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could,for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. You could score points for beating monstersamong your teeth. "We try to make it smart but also fun," Several says.

　　Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. He would come home from work andask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. They said "yes", but Serval would find their toothbrushheads dry. He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.

　　The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $ 99 to $199, developing on features. The U. S. is the first target market.

　　Serval says that one day, it'll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.

　　26. Which is one of the features of the Kolibree toothbrush?

　　A. It can sense how users brush their teeth.

　　B. It can track users' school performance.

　　C. It can detect users' fear of seeing a dentist.

　　D. It can help users find their phones.

　　27. What can we learn from Serval's words in Paragraph 3 ?

　　A. You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.

　　B. You should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis.

　　C. You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.

　　D. You'd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.

　　28. Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun.?

　　A. It can be used to update mobile phones.

　　B. It can be used to play mobile phone games.

　　C. It can send messages to other users.

　　D. It can talk to its developers.

　　29. What can we infer about Serval's children.?

　　A. They were unwilling to brush their teeth.

　　B. They often failed to clean their toothbrushes.

　　C. They preferred to use a toothbrush with a dry head.

　　D. They liked brushing their teeth after Serval came home.

　　30. What can we learn about the future development of the Kolibree.?

　　B. A mobile phone will be built into it.

　　C. It will be used to fill holes in teeth.

　　D. It will be able to check users' teeth.

　　Passage 4

　　The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture to help perform operations for about 4,000years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves inserting(插入)flexible needles (針)into cer-tain partsof the body. The needles used are available in a number of stores in China and everyone maybuy them.

　　To learn how to use needle takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires greatertime. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to insert the needles so the needles them-selves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain inthe area where the operation is to be performed. The needles are not necessarily inserted near theplace where the pain is to be prevented. In the past, a particular operation might require 25 or moreneedles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.

　　Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture. They are trying to developa convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain, or, why a needle in the wrist(手腕), for example, would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth.

　　A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one ofthe chemicals used for putting him to sleep. It has been estimated that over half of the patients chooseacupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation whereas(然而，反之) the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day.

　　A. a medical technique B. a medical needle

　　33. To learn how to use the needles,it takes a person

　　A. around one month B. a couple of daysC. a life time D. several hours

　　34. It can be learned from the passage that

　　A. more patients prefer chemicals to acupuncture

　　B. an operation in the past needs more needles than now

　　C. acupuncture has existed in China for as long as 6,000 years

　　D. Chinese doctors have developed a convincing theory about acupuncture.

　　35. Which is implied but not stated in the passage?

　Part ll Reading ComprehensionPassage l

　　16.B【解析】事實細節(jié)題。文章開篇第一句作者便表明了觀點：“當涉及金錢或其他任何事情的時候，夫妻之間的沖突通常都反映出一種權(quán)力之爭。”由此出發(fā)，作者又引申出‘‘父母和孩子之間的沖突也都是圍繞權(quán)力展開的”這一主題。A、C、D選項文章均未提到，所以選B。

　　17.C【解析】事實細節(jié)題。文章第三句提到，當孩子進入青年時期，他們就會要求得到更大的自由，去他們喜歡去的地方(即A選項)，做他們愿意做的事情(即D選項)，在沒有父母干涉的條件下自己做選擇(即B選項)，文章沒有提到的只有C。

　　18.C 【解析】事實細節(jié)題。從文章倒數(shù)第二句可以得知，“代溝正在減小”的意思就是絕大多數(shù)的孩子都與父母的價值觀和思想相同。B選項“父母逐漸和孩子相處融洽”是代溝縮小的結(jié)果，而不是其含義;A和D與本題無關(guān)。

　　19.D【解析】事實細節(jié)題。文章的第--&提到，在一個社會和道德觀念迅速變化的社會里.什么是重要的、什么是正確的，父母和孩子經(jīng)常會意見不同。由此可知D是正確的，而 A、B、C都與本題無關(guān)。

　　20.A 【解析】事實細節(jié)題。文章第四句提到，很多美國父母不知怎樣教育子女，只好從書上、講座里、家長培訓課中尋求建議。文中沒提到的只有A。

　　Passage 2

　　21.D 【解析】從第一段的最后一個字起到第二段的頭兩句話，可以看出，“tardiness”不是犯罪。不能懲罰，而只能用奉勸性的話勸人要守時(to be on time)，要以猜出tardiness很可能是遲誤的意思，故正確答案是D。

　　22.C 【解析】第三段第一句話是“to persuade Singaporeans to mind their manners”，只有 C最能概括這個意思;而A、B和D都比較片面。

　　23.B 【解析】問新加坡何時開始開展規(guī)范口語的運動。第三段最后一句話中答案非常明顯。

　　24.A 【解析】分析四個選項可知，c是正確的，22題中已有證據(jù);D并非每年都開展所有的活動，這是對的;B并非所有的活動都一直有好的效果，從第二段可以判定 該項也是正確的。A項中的“in every way”與文章第二段倒數(shù)第二句話中的“this otherwise efficient city— state”相矛盾。故正確答案是A。

　　25.B 【解析】A顯然錯誤，最后一段中對人口控制的運動就不是to improve people’S be haviort C毫無根據(jù);D也太絕對，沒有根據(jù);B可以從文章最后一句話中這位“exhausted”的專欄作者和他的建議中推出。答案是B。

　　Passage 3

　　26.A【解析】細節(jié)題。由文章第一段中“An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush.”可知。此電子牙刷會感知使用者是如何刷牙的。

　　Passage 4

　　31.C 【解析】細節(jié)題。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞“Acupuncture”可將特征信息定位到文章第一句話“The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(針灸)to perform operations…”，因此可以斷定針灸定義為一種“medical operation(醫(yī)學手術(shù))”。

　　32.D【解析】事實細節(jié)題。題干意思是：指出描述不正確的選項。根據(jù)選項特征詞“know”我們將提示信息定位到文章第二段第三、四句“Th person who…This person also knows…where the operation is to be performed.”。這兩句表達了A、B、C三選項的內(nèi)容，只有 D選項(他知道如何通過手術(shù)來治好患者)在文中沒有提及，所以應(yīng)該選D。

　　33.A【解析】細節(jié)題。根據(jù)特征詞：“how to use”與“takes”我們可以在第二段第一句“To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training.”找到答案，即學會用針只需培訓大約一個月時間。

　　34.B【解析】邏輯推理題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“A particular operation might。require25 0r more needles placed in various parts of tlle body.But now this operation requires only{3or 4 needles.”我們可以推斷出：過去手術(shù)用針灸比現(xiàn)在要多，所以答案B正確，而A(更多的患者情愿選擇化學藥劑而不愿采用針灸進行手術(shù))、C(針灸在 中國已有6，000年歷史)、D(中醫(yī)已經(jīng)提出了令人信服的針灸理論)三項都不符合原文事實。

　　35.D【解析】邏輯推理題。問題是：選項中哪一項沒直接陳述但隱含在原文中?選項 A(中國人主要采用針灸技術(shù)治療疑難病癥)與原文內(nèi)容無關(guān);B項內(nèi)容(大多數(shù)中國人治病時更愿選擇針灸而不愿選擇化學藥劑)表達過頭，因為本文只是提及手 術(shù)時采用針灸的人更多，而非所有病的治療都采用針灸;C項內(nèi)容(中國人已經(jīng)把針灸技術(shù)推廣到了全世界)也與原文陳述無關(guān)。縱觀全文，第一段提出針灸技術(shù)在 中國歷史悠久;第二段談及針灸技術(shù)比以前更加先進，只需三、四針即可;第三段又說中醫(yī)正在學習并逐步完善針灸技術(shù);文中最后提出更多的患者愿意選擇針灸治 療。由此可以推斷出：中國人的針灸技術(shù)越來越精湛，越來越有效。所以D是正確答案，并且D項內(nèi)容在原文并沒有直接表達出來。

　　Fast Food and Traditional Chinese Cooking

　　Since American-style fast food was introduced into Chinese market,it has been spreading at a blazing speed. Many people like to go to McDonald's and KFC for hamburgers, French fries and ice cream, but I still prefer traditional Chinese meal.

　　First of all,by eating traditional Chinese meals, one can keep a well-balanced diet. Foods in McDonald's and KFC typically contain high calories and excessive calories will accumulate in the form of fat in the body; this may make people overweighed. But a typical Chinese food provides one with enough vitamins and protein that are needed to keep the physical fitness of humans.

　　Therefore, although one can eat western fast food once in a while for a change, eating Chinese food is more healthy and enjoyable.
