Part Ⅵ READING COMPREHENSION ［30 MIN.］
SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION ［25 MIN.］
In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.
TEXT A
The train clattered over points and passed through a station.Then it began suddenly to slow down, presumably in obedience to a signal. For some minutes it crawled along, then stopped; presently it began to move forward again. Another up-train passed them, though with less vehemence than the first one. The train gathered speed again. At that moment another train, also on a down-line, swerved inwards towards them, for a moment with almost alarming effect. For a time the two trains ran parallel, now, one gaining a little, now the other. Mrs. McGillicuddy looked from her window through the window of the parallelcarriages. Most of the blinds were down, but occasionally the occupants of the carriages were visible. The other train was not very full and there were many empty carriages.
At the moment when the two trains gave the illusion of being stationary, ablind in one of the carriages flew up with a snap. Mrs. McGillicuddy looked intothe lighted first-class carriage that was only a few feet away.
Then she drew her breath in with a gasp and half-rose to her feet.
Standing with his back to the window and to her was a man. His hands were round the throat of a woman who faced him, and he was slowly, remorselessly, strangling her. Her eyes were starting from their sockets, her face was purple. As Mrs. McGillicuddy watched, fascinated, the end came; the body went limp and crumpled in the man’s hands.
At the same moment, Mrs. McGillicuddy’s train slowed down again and the other began to gain speed. It passed forward and a moment or two later it had vanished from sight.
Almost automatically Mrs. McGillicuddy’s hand went up to the communicationcord, then paused, irresolute. After all, what use would it be ringing the cord of the train in which she was travelling? The horror of what she had seen at such close quarters, and the unusual circumstances, made her feel paralysed. Some immediate action was necessary,—but what?
The door of her compartment was drawn back and a ticket collector said, “Ticket, please.”
66. When Mrs. McGuillicuddy’s train passed through a station, it___.
A. gained speed suddenly B. kept its usual speed C. changed its speed D. stopped immediately
67. Mrs. McGuillicuddy seems to be a (an) ___ person.
A. observant B. interested C. nosy D. nervous
68. What she saw in the parallel train made her feel___.
A. excited B. anxious C. worried D. horrified
69. She didn’t ring the communication cord immediately because___.
A. she was very much afraid
B. there was no point of doing so
C. she was too shocked to move
D. the ticket collector came in
TEXT B
I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the county. But how realistic is the dream?
Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of fiats. Children become aggressive and nervous - cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to goon an expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for thecountry is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.
What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off: the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind—they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.
What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by. I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby. I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty malesdown the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.
70. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the author___.
A. used to live in the country
B. used to work in the city
C. works in the city
D. lives in the country
71. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPT___.
A. a strong sense of fear B. lack of communicationC. housing conditions D. a sense of isolation
72. The passage implies that it is easy to buy’ the following things in the country EXCEPT___
A. daily necessities B. fresh fruits C. designer clothes D. fresh vegetables
73. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?
A. Original. B. Quiet. C. Arrogant. D. Insensitive.
74. Do you think the author will move to the country?
A. Yes, he will do so. B. No, he will not do so.C. It is difficult to tell. D. He is in two minds.
TEXT C
Traditionally, the woman has held a low position in marriage partnerships. While her husband went his way, she had to wash, stitch and sew. Today the move is to liberate the woman, which may in the end strengthen the marriage union.
Perhaps the greatest obstacle to friendship in marriage is the amount a couple usually see of each other. Friendship in its usual sense is not tested by the strain of daily, year-long cohabitation. Couples need to take up separate interests (and friendship) as well as mutually shared ones, if they are not to get used to the more attractive elements of each other’s personalities.
Married couples are likely to exert themselves for guests - being amusing,discussing with passion and point — and then to fall into dull exhausted silence when the guests have gone.
As in all friendship, a husband and wife must try to interest each other, and to spend sufficient time sharing absorbing activities to give them continuing common interests. But at the same time they must spend enough time on separateinterests with separate people to preserve and develop their separate personalities and keep their relationship fresh.
For too many highly intelligent working women, home represents chore obligations, because the husband only tolerates her work and does not participate in household chores. For too many highly intelligent working men, home represents dullness and complaints - from an over-dependent wife who will not gather courageto make her own life.
In such an atmosphere, the partners grow further and further apart, both love and liking disappearing. For too many couples with children, the children are allowed to command all time and attention, allowing the couple no time to develop liking and friendship, as well as love, allotting them exclusive parental roles.
75. According to the passage, which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A. Friendship in marriage means daily, year-long cohabitation.
B. Friendship can be kept fresh by both separate and shared interests.
C. Friendship in marriage is based on developing similar interests.
D. Friendship in marriage is based on developing separate interest.
76. The passage suggests that married couples become___.
A. unfriendly with guests
B. uninterested in guests
C. hostile when guests have left
D. quiet when guest have left
77. The passage seems to indicate at the end that children___.
A. help couples reinforce their friendship
B. make no impact on the quality of friendship
C. may pose obstacles in marital friendship
D. command less time and care than expected
TEXT D
Sending a child to school in England is a step which many parents do not find easy to take. In theory, at least, the problem is that there are very many choices to make. Let us try to list some of the alternatives between which parents are forced to decide. To begin with, they may ask themselves whether they would like their child to go to a single-sex school or a co-educational school. They may also consider whether he should go to a school which is connected to a particular church or religious group, or whether the school should have no such connections. Another decision is Whether the school should be one of the vast majority financed by the State or one of the very small but influential minority of private schools, though this choice is, of course, only available to the small number of those who can pay. Also connected with the question of money is whether the child should go to a boarding school or live at home. Then there is the question of what the child should do at school. Should it be a school whose curriculum lays emphasis, for instance, on necessary skills, such as reading, writing and mathematics, or one which pays more attention to developing the child’s personality, morally, emotionally and socially. Finally, with dissatisfaction with conventional education as great as it is in some circles in England and certainly in the USA, the question might even arise in the parents’ minds as to whether the child should be compelled to go to school at all. Although in practice, some parents may not think twice about any of these choices and send their child to the only school available in the immediate neighbourhood, any parent who is interested enough can insist that as many choices as possible be made open to him, and the system is theoretically supposed to provide them.
78. Parents find choosing a school hard because___.
A. there is a limited number of choices
B. some schools are very expensive
C. some schools are government schools
D. they are faced with a variety of offers
79. According to the passage, some parents, if allowed, might let their children stay at home because they___.
A. don’t find conventional education satisfactory
B. don’t know how to choose among different schools
C. intend to educate their children themselves
D. find conventional education too expensive to pay for
80. What is implied at the very end of the passage ?
A. Most parents are unconcerned about the choices available to them.
B. Interested parents can request more school choices be open to them.
C. The educational system may not provide as many choices as expected.
D. Most parents usually send their children to the schools nearby.

TEXT F
First read the following question.
82. The main topic of the passage is ___.
A. agricultural products B. irrigation methodsC. natural resources D. water shortages
Now, go through TEXT F quickly and answer question 82.
It is widely accepted that China is a country faced with severe water shortages. Insufficient water resources have slowed agricultural development. And to
make matters worse, some of the traditional Chinese irrigation methods have wasted an astonishing amount of water.
In China today, the utilization efficiency of farming water is about 30-40 per cent. This figure stands in sharp contrast to developed countries’ utilization average of 70-80 per cent. The low utilization efficiency has resulted from the adoption of some traditional Chinese irrigation methods.
Only by using modern irrigation methods can we reduce water shortage in agriculture.
One of the advantages of modern irrigation methods is that they alone can save 20-30 per cent of the present volume of wasted irrigation water.

SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST
News Item One (19-20)
Commonwealth leaders agreed to lift Nigeria’s 3-5 years’ suspension on May 29, the day the military government hands over power to the elected president, the organization secretary general announced yesterday.
Nigeria was suspended from the 54 nation group of mainly former British colonies in 1995 after it executed 9 minority rights activists including writer Ken Thawrawiwa. But now that the country has embarked on the return to democracy, Commonwealth heads of government have agreed to end this estrangement. Secretary general chief Ormiga Anyaco said in a statement: “I’m delighted an unfortunate episode in Nigeria Commonwealth relations will now come to an end and Nigeria is resuming its rightful place in the Commonwealth.”
News Item Two (21-22)
The Space Shuttle Discovery made a real night landing at the Kennedy Space Center early on Thursday. The night landing, the 11th in the centre’s 94 shuttle missions, ended a 10-day mission to outfit the orbiting international space station. Although the space craft created a solid boom that can be heard along much of Florida’s eastern seaboard, witnesses on the ground could not see the orbiter until it was directly over the one-way lights. Scattered showers off the Florida coast had threatened to postpone the shuttle’s return. But broadcasters gave a green light when they decided no rain will fall within 48 kilometres of the space centre.
News Item Three (23-24)
Five people died, two were missing and at least 18 were injured on Wednesday when an Italian petrol vessel collided with a dinghy filled with refugees crossing the Adriatic sea from Albania, authorities said. The victims were believed to be Albanians from either Albania or Kosovo, said authorities from Italy’s Tax Police Division, which, along with the coast guard, patrols the nation’s coast. The cause of the collision was not immediately known. Three Albanians,believed be smuggling the refugees were arrested a few hours after the accident.
News Item Four (25)
Malaysian authorities are discussing possible salvage efforts with Sun Cruisers, the Singapore owner of a large liner, that sunk off Malaysia last week, a news report said yesterday. Sun cruisers had received some advice from Malaysia on the matter. The Business Times newspaper quoted the company’s spokeswoman Judy Shoo Asian. Judy and other Sun Cruiser’s officials could not immediately be reached for further comment as they were away in Indonesia. The Sun Vista went down in international waters. The nearby Malaysia may have the right to order the wreck’s removal, the newspaper said. Salvage experts said the wreck of the Sun Vista, which sank in 65 metres of water, poses no threat to ships passing over it. But Malaysia may still want it removed.
Nigeria was suspended from the 54 nation group of mainly former British colonies in 1995 after it executed 9 minority rights activists including writer Ken Thawrawiwa. But now that the country has embarked on the return to democracy, Commonwealth heads of government have agreed to end this estrangement.

TEXT A
短文大意：本文讲述Mrs．McGillicuddy在乘火车经过一个站台前后的一段奇特见闻。
66．答案：B
【参考译文】当McGillicuddy夫人乘坐的火车经过车站时，它如何？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文开头就说 “The train clattered over points and passed through astation．”“Then it began suddenly to slow down…”，由此可知，火车既没有突然加速，也没保持原速，更没有立刻停下来，而是改变了它的速度。所以选项B为正确答案。
67．答案：A
【参考译文】McGillicuddy夫人是一个怎样的人？
【试题分析】本题为推理题。
【详细解答】这篇短文有很多细节描写，如有几列火车，各列车何时加速何时减速，怎么样平行行驶，在不同的时间有不同的情况发生，这些都是以McGillicuddy夫人的视角展开描写的。文中还写到，尽管大多数窗帘拉上了，但是她还是看见了另一列火车上的杀人案。由此可见，McGillicuddy夫人是一个善于观察的人。
68．答案：D
【参考译文】看见并行的火车上发生的事，她感觉如何？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文第四段说“Then she drew her breath in with a gasp and half-rose to her feet”，即可怕的景象吓得她发呆，故选项D为正确答案。
69．答案：B
【参考译文】她为什么没有马上按响她所乘的火车的警报？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文倒数第二段说“…Mrs．McGillicuddy’s hand went up to the communication cord，then paused，irresolute．After all，what use would it be ringing the cord of the train in which she was travelling?” McGillicuddy夫人看到的情景发生在另一列火车上，那么按响她所乘的火车的警报是不起任何作用的，也就是说她认为这样做没什么意义，故选项B为正确答案。
TEXT B
短文大意：本文写的城乡生活的差异及作者的看法。
70．答案：C
【参考译文】第一段作者流给我们的印象是什么？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文第一段第一句说“I am one of the many city people…if it weren’t for my job I would…”说明作者是在城里工作，故选项C为正确答案。
71．答案：A
【参考译文】根据作者的意见，下列哪一项不会引起城里人不幸福？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文第二段描写的是城市生活的弊端。由“The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear…people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other．”可知，城市生活“lack of communication”；由“The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks，noisy，dirty and impersonal…All you can see from your window is sky，or other blocks of flats．”可知，城市生活“housing conditions”；由“Children…cooped up at home all day…their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world．”可知，城市生活是“a sense of isolation”。文中没有提及“a strong sense of fear”，故A为正确答案。
72．答案：C
【参考译文】根据短文，在乡村不容易买到的东西是哪一项？
【试题分析】本题为推理题。
【详细解答】短文第三段倒数第二句说“Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town.”，即住在一个小村庄里，购物是一个大问题，即使只是稍微特别的物品，人们也必须到附近大城镇去买。由此可知，在乡村不容易买到的东西应是designer clothes。
73．答案：C
【参考译文】根据短文，用下列哪一个词来描述在大城市工作而在乡村生活的人最合适？
【试题分析】本题为语义题。
【详细解答】短文第四段最后一句说“They generally have about as much sensitivity…the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages．”即他们一般还是比较敏感的，……他们也把某些改变强加给当地农村居民。故用“Arrogant” （骄横的）来描述在大城市工作而在乡村生活的人最合适。
74．答案：B
【参考译文】你认为作者会搬迁到农村去吗？
【试题分析】本题为推理题。
【详细解答】最后一段说“I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby.I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.”作者以他的猫为例，说他没有把握它一定会喜欢新鲜空气及到草地练习，并在最后作了否定的答复。可见，作者是不会去农村生活的。

But at the same time they must spend enough time on separate interests with separate people to preserve and develop theirseparate personalities and keep their relationship fresh.”即正如所有友情一样，夫妇必须尽力保持对彼此的兴趣，给予充足的时间来分享有趣的活动，以不断提供共同兴趣；同时还必须花费足够的时间于个人兴趣方面，以保持独立的个性，并使他们的关系保持新鲜。选项B全面地概括了这短话的意思，故为正确答案。
76．答案：D
【参考译文】短文认为以婚夫妇变得怎样？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文第三段说“Married couples are likely to exert themselves for guests…and then to fall into dull exhausted silence when the guests have gone”， 即已婚夫妇很可能尽力使客人高兴，谈话时风趣、有感情且锐智；当客人走后，便陷入沉默。故选项D为正确答案。
77．答案：C
【参考译文】短文最后似乎暗示孩子怎样？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文最后一段说“…the children are allowed to command all time and attention，allowing the couple no time to develop liking and friendship，as well as love…”，由此可知，夫妻间感情变淡甚至消失的原因可能是孩子占用了两人过多的时间，孩子成为了婚姻关系的障碍，故选项C为正确答案。
TEXT D

78．答案：D

【试题分析】本题为细节题。

Travel Broadens the Mind
Nowadays, travel has become a popular activity. More and more people have enough money to travel abroad or at home. As a matter of fact, travel has become part of our life. This situation is encouraging, for it not only broadens people's minds to the extend which may not be reached previously, but also relaxes the
m physically, which help people work out mental problems more actively.
One of my best friends is so exclusively engaged in his works that he did not even know what was happening out of his own discipline. What’s worse, his progress was nearly little. After accepting my advice, he travelled a few cities and towns. The experience gave him a good opportunity of learning. Today, he gets a bumper harvest in his knowledge——the longstanding dream of entering graduate school comes true.
In conclusion, travel opens our mind because it enables us to know about the history and culture of a nation. In a way, going on travels is like reading books..

Dear Professor Wang,
I’m deeply sorry that I was unable to keep my engagement to meet you. I fear you are displeased at my failing to keep my promise, but I hope you will forgive me, for my mother was suddenly taken sick early yesterday morning, and I had to send her to hospital.
I know you’re very busy these days, but I wonder if you could arrange for another appointment me. I look forward to your early reply.
Yours
