Part 3 Reading and writing

V. Reading comprehension.

A. Choose the best answer(选择最恰当的箸案): (20分)

Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all kinds of breakfast, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.

The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially tree if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class.

Contrary to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

61. During the test, those who were tested were given          .

1. no breakfast at all
2. different foods or sometimes none
3. very rich breakfasts
4. little food for breakfast

62. The results of the test show that__________.

1. breakfast has great effect on work and studies.
2. breakfast has little to do with a person's work.
3. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfast.
4. those working with brains should have much for breakfast

63.The passage mentions that many people believe that if you don't have breakfast, you will        .

A. be less healthy

B. not work better

C. lose weight

D. not lose weight

64. According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast,          .

A. he will fall ill

B. he will fail to listen to his teacher

C. he will not make progress in his study

D. his mind will work more slowly

65. Which of the following is NOT right?

A. It is bad for your health to have no breakfast

B. Too little for breakfast and too much for lunch may make you fatter

C. If you don't eat much for lunch and supper, you may lose weight

D. The more breakfast you have, the more quickly you’ll learn in class

“You have quite a temper, Miss Cochrane,” the editor of the Pittsburgh Dispatch said with a smile. On his desk was an open letter he had recently received from the 18-year-old girl now sitting before him. The letter scolded him for an editorial he had written and printed on his paper “I get angry when people make statements that aren’t true.” the young lady answered as she held up a newspaper. “Your editorial here —What Girls Are For— I found it rude to women.”

“For goodness’ sake, young lady,” the editor replied. “I’ve only repeated what many great thinkers believe to be true. They say a woman's place is in the home. Her most important work involves keeping house and raising children. Where would we all be if this weren’t true?”

“And you don't think a woman is smart enough or strong enough to do a man's job?” Elizabeth Cochrane sat straighter in her chair and her eyes flashed angrily.

“Now wait a minute, Miss Cochrane,” the editor said. “I didn’t say that, and you're not being quite fair. As a matter of fact, I asked you to come in because I was interested in your letter. You dare to say what you want to say, and I like that. Also, I wonder if you'd care to try something different?”

“How different?”

“Well…” the editor thought for a moment. “Your letter was well written, I’ll grant you that.

Now I'm wondering if you can be as good a reporter as any of my men. How would you like the

job?

“How would I…” Elizabeth Cochrane’s mouth opened in surprise. “But of course I would!”

And that was how Elizabeth Cochrane, in 1882, became a reporter. Using a pen name-Nellie Bly-she soon built a great reputation for herself. She seemed to have no fear. Like all good reporters, she would go almost any place and do almost anything to get a good story. The circulation(发行量 )of the Pittsburgh Dispatch jumped as Nellie Bly published articles about life in the slums( 贫民窟 ) the problems of the poor working girl, and the horrible state of Pittsburgh prisons.

Often she wore disguises in order to live the same life as the poor people she was writing about. She would dress in old clothes and take a job in a factory. After working a few days and gathering information, she would leave, and Nellie Bly would have another story. As a result of her work,Pittsburgh passed new laws,and the city became a much befter place to live in.

66.The editor believed that________.

A. he was one of the great thinkers

B. a woman should stay at home and be a housewife

C. he took pity on women

D. Elizabeth Cochrnne could not be a qualified reporter

67. The editor was________.

A. angry with her reply

B. interested in her life

C. impressed by her letter

D. surprised at her temper

68.What is not directly said but we can infer from the passage?

A. The editor's name was Nellie Bly.

B. She was taken by surprise when she was offered a job as a reporter.

C. She changed the editor's view about the role of a woman in society.

D. Nothing could prevent her gathering first-hand information for her stories.

69.Elizabeth's success was due to the fact that________.

A. she could write very quickly

B. she used a pen name

C. she was the first woman reporter

D. she did her best to write good stories

C. Pittsburgh Dispatch enjoyed greater popularity

D. she proved that women were as good as men

began to train as an engineer. He had always been a theatre lover and by sixteen he became interested in the cinema too. About this time he found he also had a talent for drawing, and he

(A)

What makes you happy in life? Maybe it is the love of your family or the friendship of your classmates. We all want people to love us, so we want to do what we can to make others p ______77_____. However, we also know that this is not always possible. Life doesn’t always run smoothly for us and mistakes often happen.

What happens when you make a mistake? Do you try to hide the fact, or deny any responsibility? We all know that this behaviour u _____78______ makes the situation much worse. As we grow, we should realize the best thing to do a ____79_______ a mistake is made is to accept responsibility, and to offer an apology.

A _____80______ very important reason of saying you’re sorry is that it helps you to gain respect for yourself again. It allows you to put a mistake b _____81______ you, and to move on with your life. Accepting responsibility also helps to learn from our mistakes, and encourage us not to r _____82______ them in the future. Perhaps it also helps us to learn to forgive others who make mistakes. Learning to say you’re sorry is a sure w _____83______ to learn how to respect yourself and others.

 Years ago, doctors often said that pain was a n___ 84____ part of life. In particular, when older patients c___85___ about the pain, they were told it was just the result of aging and they would have to learn to live with it.

 Times have changed. Today, we take pain s___86___. Indeed, pain is now considered the fifth vital sign, as important as blood pressure, temperature, breathing rate and pulse in determining a person’s well-being. We know that chronic (慢性的) pain can disrupt (扰乱) a person’s life, causing problems that range (范围) from missed work to depression.

 That’s why a growing number of hospitals now depend upon physicians who specialize in pain medicine. Not only do we find out the cause of the pain, which can help us treat the pain better, but we also help p___87___ comprehensive (综合性的) therapy for depression and other metal and social problems related to chronic pain. Such therapy often involves the work of social psychiatrists (心理医生), as well as specialists in pain medicine.

 This modem respect for pain management has led to a lot of innovative treatments which are more e___88___ and with fewer side effects than ever before. Decades ago, there were only a limited number of drugs a___89___, and many of them caused huge side effects in older people, including dizziness and tiredness. This created a double-edged sword: the medications helped r___90___ the pain but caused other problems that could be worse than the pain itself.

D.  Read the passage and answer the following questions. (12分)

 The word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. Others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. Still others spend countless hours watching TV or playing computer games.

 Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to stores more and more every day, but it's more than a common hobby for some of them. They have turned into shopaholics (购物狂). They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are hooked on shopping and usually buy things that they don't need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.

 The question is, why do they have this addiction? There isn't a specific answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this addition when they feel guilty. Shopaholism seems to be harmless addiction, but it can________. Some of them can be Psychological (心理上的) If this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. However, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer a lot. It can also cause financial problems. They just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don't have. They get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison.
