III. Reading Comprehension (30%, 每小题2分) Directions: In this part , there are three passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then, mark your answer by blackening the letter of your choice on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home and at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist had found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, then he tested their hearing ability. He found that students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about twice as great. The scientist said millions of persons in the United States use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these persons face a serious danger of suffering hearing loss from loud noises. 1. Doctors have long known that _________. A. one will become deaf when he hears a loud noise B. hearing damage or loss can be caused by sounds of all kinds. C. one may lose his hearing when he hears a terribly loud noise D. common sounds at home are not harmful to the ear 2. This passage suggests that one’s hearing ___________. A. will be damaged even if he has heard a loud noise for less than one second B. will be damaged even if he has heard a loud noise for only little more than one second C. will not be damaged if he has heard a loud noise for only little more than one second D. will not be damaged if he has little more than one second to get ready 3. According to this passage, one conclusion you can draw is that aspirin _________. A. should never be taken more than four grams daily B. can damage one’s hearing when it is given more than four grams daily C. make hearing damage from loud noise worse D. increase hearing loss by three times 4. Millions of Americans are in danger of suffering loss because they ________. A. often take jet airplanes on trips B. like listening to loud music C. are drowned in loud noises at home as well as at work D. take too much aspirin 5. The purpose of the experiment the American scientist did was to find_________. A. how much aspirin would affect a person’s hearing B. how much aspirin should be given in the treatment of the patients with hearing damage from loud noises C. whether the person who had hearing damage should use aspirin D. whether aspirin would increase the temporary hearing damage from loud noises Passage Two Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that it is different when one wants to walk. At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them. The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35 000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty. During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short. In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines (消防车) race past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day .Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. 6. Tokyo is different from London in that___________. A. it has a larger population B. there are more traffic jams C. it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot D. night clubs are sometimes empty 7. Japanese trains _____________. A. often leave and arrive on time B. are often crowded C. are the main means people use to travel to and from work D. all of the above. 8. Where can you find everybody reading a newspaper? _____________. A. At most London train stations B. At most Tokyo train stations C. On a Tokyo train D. On a London train 9. Fires break out _______ in Tokyo according to the writer. A. quite frequently B. only several times a day C. not very often D. very seldom 10. Which of the following is NOT true about Tokyo? ___________. A. The streets become more crowded at 11:30 at night B. There are more trains than cars C. Fire-engines are very busy in the city D. Tokyo people are friendly Passage Three Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we should be able to know where most words come from. Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers ,especially when they are not made with ham(火腿)? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered, “We came from Hamburg.” One of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like the men from Hamburg ate. Then he put them between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Today “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world. Whether this story is true or not, it certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too. The reason why can be found in any large English dictionary. 11. What does the writer describe English as a language? A. It is as old as Chinese. B. It is older than German. C. It is not so old as Chinese. D. It is very difficult to learn. 12. What is Hamburg ? A. A kind of food. B. A round piece of beef. C. The name of a village. D. A city in Germany 13.

Hamburgers were sold all over the world about a century ago. 14. According to the writer, which of the following can be found in any large English dictionary? A. Where all the new words come from B. Where those Germans came from C. The reason why any word has a certain meaning. D. The reason why English is spoken around the world 15. According to the story, where does the word “hamburger” come from? A. China because it has a long history B. England because Germans don’t speak good English C. the round pieces of beef those people from Hamburg brought to America D. English speakers because they always create new words. IV.
