Reading Comprehension阅读理解 (Total Marks 40%)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the

14、best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Passage 1The frightening rise in crimes of violence throughout the country has caused more and more people to arm themselves. They buy guns to protect their homes and carry with them for personal safety when travelling. Unfortunately, instead o

15、f safety, what the new handgun owner too often gets is personal tragedy. As I found in my reading, a handgun does not protect the American home very well. The home handgun is more likely to kill or injure family members and friends than anyone who breaks in, and is especially harmful to young adults

16、 and children. Because 90 percent of breakins take place when no one is home, the handgun is bought for defense is very often stolen. According to some statistics, each year about 100,000 handguns are stolen from ordinary citizens. These guns then enter the criminal underworld and are used in more c

17、rimes. Thus, the citizens who lost guns is helping to arm the criminal class. As a New York City police officer recently pointed out to a homeowner who asked if he should buy a handgun to protect his home, too often it is the homeowner himself who ends up getting shot and killed, because he often wa

18、rns the robber by saying something like “Stop!” or “what do you think you are doing?” Possibly, the thief turns and fires. In street crime, the use of a hand gun for defense is very risky, with the defender often losing the gun and having it used against him. The handgun owner seldom even gets the c

19、hance to use his or her gun because the moment of surprise is always with the attacker. In fact, trying to use a handgun to keep someone off makes the risk of death quite a bit higher.For the ordinary citizen, using a handgun is seldom helpful for defense on the street. And, in the home, the only wa

20、y to get real defense from a personal handgun would be to have it always at the ready, perhaps in hand loaded and ready to fire every time there is knock on the door. That is not exactly the American way or my idea of a civilized society. 26. Why do people want to arm themselves according to the pas

21、sage? A. Because they want to use the guns to protect their personal goods. B. Because killing animals with guns is their favorite sport. C. Because the number of crimes of violence is still small. D. Because people intent to attack others with guns in crimes.27. More often than not, what the handgu

22、n brings the owner is _. A. safety B. tragedy C. luck D. happiness28. It can be understood from the passage that _. A. home handguns do more good than harm to ordinary people. B. home handguns do more harm than good to ordinary people C. stolen handguns are usually thrown away instead of being used

23、D. handguns are no longer needed in a civilized society29. If a citizen use a handgun to protect himself in street crime, he will probably_. A. be safe and sound B. kill the attacker C. risk his life D. surprise the attacker30. The passage is mainly about _. A. how criminals get handguns from the ci

24、tizens B. why is the home gun is not essential for home defense C. how the criminals use the handgun against ordinary citizens D. why America is not a civilized societyPassage 2 Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in 1972.They discovered that

25、the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which da

26、ydreams. Great artists and great scientists are similar: they both use the two sides of their brain. It is well-known that Albert Einstein, as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from anal

27、ysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. He got ideas by using his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to use analysis, number and reason and then he used language to explain it. Usual education in schools encourages us to use

28、the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more important in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why dont we give more value to visual thinking? In fact, all of us need both sides

29、 of our brain. We need to use our imaginations to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live on this world. It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rat

30、her than the other but all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have. Nietzsche, the well-known philosopher, said that we add to our knowledge by making conscious the unconscious.31. According to the passage, a great composer composes music by using of his brain.

31、 A. the right side B. the left side C. both sides D. neither side32. Albert Einsteins example is used to support the idea that . A. all scientific discoveries are based on imagination B. people should do nothing but daydream C. using two sides of the brain is important D. scientists are good at imag

32、ining what may happen33. It is implied in the passage that regular education . A. should be praised because it suggests using both sides of the brain. B. finds it very important to have daydreams C. claims that analysis and reason are of no value D. fails to develop the right side of the brain34. Wh

33、at did Nietzsche say about adding to the knowledge we have? A. Learning happens when we are not conscious. B. Learning happens when we make unconscious decisions. C. Learning happens when we become aware of things inside us. D. Learning happens when we think about thins logically. 35. The authors at

34、titude toward using two sides of the brain is . A. positive B. negative C. not logical D. criticalPassage 3Culture consists of all shared products of a human society (Robertson, 1981). This means not only such material things as cities, tools, and schools, but also non-material things, such as ideas

35、, customs, family patterns, and languages. Put simply, culture refers to the entire way of life of a society, the ways of a people.Language is a part of culture and plays a very important role in it. Some social scientists consider it the keystone of culture. Without language, maintaining culture wo

36、uld not be possible. On the other hand, language is influenced and shaped by culture. It reflects culture in the broadest sense, is the symbolic representation of a people, and it comprises a societys historical and cultural backgrounds. Language also displays a peoples approach to life and their wa

37、ys of living and thinking.We should not go further into the relationship between language and culture. What needs to be stressed here is that the two interact, and that understanding of one requires understanding of the other.Social scientists tell us that cultures differ from one another and that e

38、ach culture is unique. As cultures are diverse, languages are also diverse. It is only natural then that with difference in cultures and differences in languages, difficulties often arise in communicating between people of different cultures. Understanding is not always easy.Learning a foreign langu

39、age well means more than merely mastering the pronunciation, grammar, words, and idioms. It also means learning to see the world as native speakers of that language see it, learning the ways in which their language reflects the ideas, customs, and behaviors of their society. It means learning to und

40、erstand their language of the mind. Learning a language, in fact, is inseparable from learning culture.36.According to Robertson, what is NOT part of non-material culture?A. Legal systems.B. Language.C. Religion.D. Tools.37.The second paragraph is about _.A. the way language is used by social scient

43、_.A. the unspoken things that people thinkB. the method for studying a languageC. the manner in which people thinkD. the common culture shared by all people regardless of languagePassage 4图1-3 大学生偏爱的手工艺品种类分布Danny hung his Boston University diploma below his cab license.

44、n the finest schools in America, he couldnt do very simple repairs or even locate the carburetor (化油器) in his car.Danny is an educated man. He is a master of writing papers, taking tests, talking, and filling out forms. He can analyze Freud from a Marxian viewpoint and he can analyze Marx from a Fre

45、udian viewpoint.但这些困难并非能够否定我们创业项目的可行性。盖茨是由一个普通退学学生变成了世界首富，李嘉诚是由一个穷人变成了华人富豪第一人，他们的成功表述一个简单的道理：如果你有能力，你可以从身无分文变成超级富豪；如果你无能，你也可以从超级富豪变成穷光蛋。In short, Danny is an unskilled worker, and he has a sociology degree to prove it. He is of very little use to American industry.还有一点就是公司在“碧芝自制饰品店”内设立了一个完全的弹性价格空间：选择饰珠的种类和多少是由顾客自己掌握，所以消费者可以根据自己的消费能力进行取舍；此外由于是顾客自己制作，所以从原料到成品的附加值就可以自己享用。This is nothing new. Colleges have been turning out unskilled workers for decades. U
