　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 (礼貌) 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 (针)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?

　　3.C 【解析】根据会话的语境：他们想要去看“天鹅湖”，结果票卖完了。另一人表示非常失望，说他渴望想看这部歌舞。前两项选择表示这部歌舞无聊，最后一个表示漠然的态度，都不符合当时的情景。

　　4.C【解析】客人说再见，而主人尽力挽留多待一会是符合人之常情的。C项是最佳选择;特别注意的是A项，它是中文式的表达习惯，一定要避免。

　Part ll Reading ComprehensionPassage l

　　16.B【解析】事实细节题。文章开篇第一句作者便表明了观点：“当涉及金钱或其他任何事情的时候，夫妻之间的冲突通常都反映出一种权力之争。”由此出发，作者又引申出‘‘父母和孩子之间的冲突也都是围绕权力展开的”这一主题。A、C、D选项文章均未提到，所以选B。

　　17.C【解析】事实细节题。文章第三句提到，当孩子进入青年时期，他们就会要求得到更大的自由，去他们喜欢去的地方(即A选项)，做他们愿意做的事情(即D选项)，在没有父母干涉的条件下自己做选择(即B选项)，文章没有提到的只有C。

　　18.C 【解析】事实细节题。从文章倒数第二句可以得知，“代沟正在减小”的意思就是绝大多数的孩子都与父母的价值观和思想相同。B选项“父母逐渐和孩子相处融洽”是代沟缩小的结果，而不是其含义;A和D与本题无关。

　　19.D【解析】事实细节题。文章的第--&提到，在一个社会和道德观念迅速变化的社会里.什么是重要的、什么是正确的，父母和孩子经常会意见不同。由此可知D是正确的，而 A、B、C都与本题无关。

　　20.A 【解析】事实细节题。文章第四句提到，很多美国父母不知怎样教育子女，只好从书上、讲座里、家长培训课中寻求建议。文中没提到的只有A。

　　Passage 2

　　21.D 【解析】从第一段的最后一个字起到第二段的头两句话，可以看出，“tardiness”不是犯罪。不能惩罚，而只能用奉劝性的话劝人要守时(to be on time)，要以猜出tardiness很可能是迟误的意思，故正确答案是D。

　　22.C 【解析】第三段第一句话是“to persuade Singaporeans to mind their manners”，只有 C最能概括这个意思;而A、B和D都比较片面。

　　23.B 【解析】问新加坡何时开始开展规范口语的运动。第三段最后一句话中答案非常明显。

　　24.A 【解析】分析四个选项可知，c是正确的，22题中已有证据;D并非每年都开展所有的活动，这是对的;B并非所有的活动都一直有好的效果，从第二段可以判定 该项也是正确的。A项中的“in every way”与文章第二段倒数第二句话中的“this otherwise efficient city— state”相矛盾。故正确答案是A。

　　25.B 【解析】A显然错误，最后一段中对人口控制的运动就不是to improve people’S be haviort C毫无根据;D也太绝对，没有根据;B可以从文章最后一句话中这位“exhausted”的专栏作者和他的建议中推出。答案是B。

　　Passage 3

　　26.A【解析】细节题。由文章第一段中“An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush.”可知。此电子牙刷会感知使用者是如何刷牙的。

　　27.C【解析】推理判断题。由文章第三段中“The toothbrush will teach you to brush right and make sure you ale bmshing long enough.”可知，发明者所说的“就像有个牙医在监视你刷牙一样”是指Kolibree可以像牙医一样指导你刷牙。

　　Passage 4

　　31.C 【解析】细节题。根据题干关键词“Acupuncture”可将特征信息定位到文章第一句话“The Chinese have used a method called acupuncture(针灸)to perform operations…”，因此可以断定针灸定义为一种“medical operation(医学手术)”。

　　32.D【解析】事实细节题。题干意思是：指出描述不正确的选项。根据选项特征词“know”我们将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.”。这两句表达了A、B、C三选项的内容，只有 D选项(他知道如何通过手术来治好患者)在文中没有提及，所以应该选D。

　　33.A【解析】细节题。根据特征词：“how to use”与“takes”我们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，即学会用针只需培训大约一个月时间。

　　34.B【解析】逻辑推理题。根据第二段最后两句“A particular operation might。require25 0r more needles placed in various parts of tlle body.But now this operation requires only{3or 4 needles.”我们可以推断出：过去手术用针灸比现在要多，所以答案B正确，而A(更多的患者情愿选择化学药剂而不愿采用针灸进行手术)、C(针灸在 中国已有6，000年历史)、D(中医已经提出了令人信服的针灸理论)三项都不符合原文事实。

　　35.D【解析】逻辑推理题。问题是：选项中哪一项没直接陈述但隐含在原文中?选项 A(中国人主要采用针灸技术治疗疑难病症)与原文内容无关;B项内容(大多数中国人治病时更愿选择针灸而不愿选择化学药剂)表达过头，因为本文只是提及手 术时采用针灸的人更多，而非所有病的治疗都采用针灸;C项内容(中国人已经把针灸技术推广到了全世界)也与原文陈述无关。纵观全文，第一段提出针灸技术在 中国历史悠久;第二段谈及针灸技术比以前更加先进，只需三、四针即可;第三段又说中医正在学习并逐步完善针灸技术;文中最后提出更多的患者愿意选择针灸治 疗。由此可以推断出：中国人的针灸技术越来越精湛，越来越有效。所以D是正确答案，并且D项内容在原文并没有直接表达出来。

　　68.B 【解析】本题考查宾语从句引导词的用法。one不能引导宾语从句;引导词在这 个宾语从句中做主语，所以排除whomever;空缺处没有明确的指代关系，所以who排除。只 能选8。句意：这位年老的绅士从来不会不帮助任何需要他帮助的人。

　　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.
