Part II••Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)

Directions: There are 3 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some 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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

A recent study described coal as a “bridge to the future”. As the most plentiful fossil (化石) fuel in the world, coal has the possibility for filling a growing proportion of the demand for energy. But problems cause some trouble to this promising old fuel.

Coal is found around the globe, but three countries (the United States, the former Soviet Union and China) own nearly two thirds of all known coal reserves. At present rates of using coal, these reserves would last the world more than 200 years, according to the estimates carefully made. Furthermore, scientists think the world probably has 15 times this much coal.

While the United States has the largest share --- more than a quarter --- of the 786 billion tons of known world coal reserves, both the former Soviet Union and China produce almost as much coal as the U. S. does.

In addition to the category of known reserves, the U.S. Geological Survey has calculated that the United States has an estimated 1.7 trillion (万亿) tons of coal at depths of less than 3,000 feet. Unfortunately, much of this coal is not easy to get with present technology or at present prices.

To produce and use much more coal than we do today, a number of problems will have to be solved: capital at high interest rates, manpower, and transportation, including insufficient rail facilities. Environmental concerns include the proper development of mine sites, possible changes in global climate caused by increased carbon dioxide from burning coal, and the objects that are sent out from coal stacks that wear out buildings, poison lakes, and damage human lungs. 31. 32. 33.

One of the advantages of coals is that ________. A) it can improve global climate C) it is always easy to dig B) there is a lot of it D) it doesn’t pollute Which problem is NOT mentioned in the article? A) Difficulties in digging the coal. B) Pollution of the environment.

C) What happens when the coal is used up. D) Insufficient rail facilities.

Which country has the largest share of known world coal

-3-

reserves? A) China. C) The former Soviet Union. B) The United States. D) The article doesn’t tell us. 34. How much coal does the United States have in known coal reserves? A) 786 billion tons. C) Nearly 200 billion tons. B) 1.7 billion tons. D) 3,000 billion tons. 35. According to the passage, which of the following statement is

TRUE? A) The U. S. has about 1.7 trillion tons of coal at depths of more than 3,000 feet. B) Scientists think that all coal reserves have been found out. C) All coal is easy to get because we have modern technology. D) The U.S., the former Soviet Union and China produce almost equal amounts of coal.

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection (十字路口). The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses --- in this case our eyes --- tell us.

Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40.

This passage is mainly about ________. A) how we see

B) learning about our minds through science C) what psychologists perceive D) interesting experiments

Seeing and perceiving are________. A) the same action

B) two actions carried on by the eyes C) two separate actions

D) actions that take place at different times

Perceiving is an action that takes place ________. A) in our eyes

B) only when we think very hard about something C) under the directions of a psychologist D) in every person’s mind

Perception involves what ________. A) our senses tell us B) our minds interpret

Psychologists study perception by________ . A) setting up many experiments B) asking each other what they see

C) we see with our eyes only D) both A and B

C) looking out of windows D) studying people’s eyes

Passage Three

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book lover or only there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can

-4-

soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive design is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather uninteresting book. You soon become lost in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must hurry to keep some forgotten appointment --- without buying a book, of course.

The opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can go to such places as much as you wish. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop, an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. You may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. But when he has led you there, the assistant should leave politely and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45.

The best title for this passage may be “________”. A) The Attraction of Bookshops C) Bookshops and Their Assistants B) How to Spend Your Time D) Buying Books

According to the author, the best way to escape the realities of everyday life is ________. A) to chat with assistants in a bookshop B) to take a walk in the streets

C) to make some appointment in a bookshop

D) to stay reading books of various kinds in a bookshop In a good bookshop, ________.

A) all the books there are interesting B) you enjoy yourself very much C) you can find shelter from a shower

D) you need to buy something you don’t want An assistant in a bookshop helps you ________. A) on your entering the shop B) just before you finish reading

C) only when you want to find out where a particular section is D) when you are reading

According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A) Time spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable only for book lovers.

B) There are only a few places where it is possible to escape the realities of life. C) People go to bookshops only to buy books.

D) A book with an attractive design must be an interesting one.

大学英语I-A卷（听力文字稿） Script of Listening Comprehension

Section A

Bob likes nothing better than swimming and then sitting in the sunshine. He surprised everyone except Elizabeth. This dictionary is not available in the library.

Mrs Johnson’s children usually pray before they eat. Everyone falls asleep in Professor Fall’s class.

Section B

Now, let’s begin with the short conversations. 6. W: Would you like to order now?

M: Yes, please show me the menu.

Q: Where are the man and the woman now? 7. W: How much is this T-shirt?

M: Six dollars for one, but you can save two dollars if you buy two. Q: How much should the woman pay if she buys two T-shirts?

8. W: I can’t make up my mind in what color to paint the baby’s room.

M: That’s easy. White is very popular with a baby. Q: Which is true based on the dialogue? 9. W: How long did you have for the exam?

M: We were allowed two hours, but I finished in less than half the time. Q: How much time did the man take for the exam? 10. W: Would you mind sharing your dictionary with me?

M: Sure, why not?

Q: How does the man reply the woman?

11. W: Your library books are due on December 13th. If you haven’t

finished using them by then, you may renew them once. M: Thank you very much. I only need them for a few days. Q: What is the woman’s profession?

12. M: Let’s go to the dance at the Student Center on Friday.

W: I’d like to, but I’m going to a lecture then. Thanks for asking me though. Q: Where is the woman going on Friday?

13. W: May I make a recommendation, sir? The clams with our special sauce

are good. They are fresh from the ocean. M: Thank you, but I don’t care for shellfish.

Q: Where did this conversation probably take place? Now you’ll hear the long conversations. Conversation One

W: How many universities have you applied to, and how many universities have accepted you?

M: I’ve applied to 5 universities, and 3 of them have given me offers. But I chose Cornell University in the end. W: How long do you plan to study in the U.S.A.?

-12-

M: At least two years. The Master’s program is designed to be completed in 2 years, although I would like to complete it in one and a half years.

W: Have you received scholarships?

M: Yes, I’ve been granted a full tuition scholarship and a stipend. If I remain in good academic standing, my university will renew my award of full financial support.

The following questions are based on the conversation you have just heard. 14. 15. 16. 17.

How many universities have given the man offers? How long will the man stay in the USA?

In what condition will the man get the full financial support?

Conversation Two

W: It’s almost vacation time. Have you found a summer job yet?

M: I suppose I can work at the boy’s camp where I worked last summer. But camp jobs don’t pay much.

W: I think I can get a job at the Edgewater Hotel. A friend of mine was a waitress there last summer. The pay wasn’t good, but she got lots of tips.

M: What I want is a job outside. After sitting in college class all winter, I’d like a job in the open air.

W: The high school kids earn a lot of money every summer cutting grass. My brother is only fourteen, but he gets five dollars every time he cuts somebody’s grass, and it only takes him an hour.

M: That’s pretty good. I used to cut grass when I was in high school. But now I think I may work for a road-building company, or something like that.

W: It will be a good experience. You will earn a lot, too.

The following questions are based on the conversation you have just heard. 18. 19. 20. 21.

What are the two speakers talking about? Which job will the woman get?

What kind of job does the man want?

Why does the man want a job in the open air?

Section C

There are three important findings from studies concerned with note-taking. First, note-taking does not interfere with listening and comprehension; in fact, it helps you listen. Second, students who study their lecture notes remember one and a half times more after six weeks than students who do not review. Third, students who take no notes, or do not study their notes, forget approximately 80% of the lecture by the end of two weeks. From these findings we can conclude that students, who take enough notes and then study them both directly after the lecture and several additional times before an examination, stand a good chance of remembering between 90% and 100% of the material. In other words, if you don’t take notes, then you will put yourself at a disadvantage. The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.

22. According to the speaker, what effect does note-taking have

on listening comprehension?

23. How much does one forget in two weeks’ time after the lecture

if he does not take any notes?

24. What is the speaker’s advice to those who take notes? Passage Two

Mr. Richards worked in a shop which sold, cleaned and repaired hearing aids. One day an old gentleman entered and put one down in front of him without saying a word.

“What’s the matter with it?” Mr. Richards said. The man did not answer. Of course Mr. Richards thought that the man must be deaf and that his hearing aid must be faulty, so he said again, more loudly, “what’s wrong with your

-13-

hearing aid, sir?” Again the man said nothing, so Mr. Richards shouted his question again as loudly as he could.

The man then took a pen and pieces of paper and wrote: “It isn’t necessary to shout when you’re speaking to me. My ears are as good as yours. This hearing aid is my wife’s, not mine. I’ve just had a throat operation, my problem is not that I can’t hear, but that I can’t speak.”

The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.

25. Why did the old gentleman go to Mr. Richard’s shop?

26. How did the old man make Mr. Richards understand his problem? 27. What do we know about the old man? Passage Three

The difference between life in one country and another is quite often not so great as the difference between town life and village life in the same country. In an English village everybody knows everybody else; they know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you have for dinner. If you want any help you will always get it and be glad to help anyone else in return. In a large town like London, however, it can sometimes happen that you have never seen your next-door neighbor, don’t know his name or anything about him. People living in London are often very lonely especially after work. This is because the people they are with all day are scattered over large areas in the evenings and weekends.

If you walk through the streets in the center of London on a Sunday it is like a ghost town. One is sorry for old people living on their own and having no work to do during the day. It is by no means uncommon for such people to die in their homes and not be discovered for weeks or even months.

The following questions are based on the passage you have just heard.

28. What is the passage mainly about?

29. Why are people in London often lonely?

30. If you need help in a village, what will happen?
