四 阅读理解A Part Ⅵ READING COMPREHENSION ［30 MIN.］ SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION ［25 MIN.］ In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished stat ements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one th at you think is the correct answer. Mark your choice on your answer sheet. TEXT A Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospit als, still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are jus t not kept. We know that more than 850.000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education wh ile in hospital. We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital. Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital t eaching available differ a great deal across the country. It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off. From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have som e contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hour s a day. Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school. If the re was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work; without a teacher they would only play games. Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and m aintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is of ten all the teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summ ed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helper”. Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school w ork. Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once back at school children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can. Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. But schools do very little to e ase the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interview ed. 66． The author points out at the beginning that___. 67. It can be inferred from the latest survey that___. 68. Children in hospital usual1y turn to___in order to catch up with the ir school work. 69. We can conclude from the passage that the author is___. TEXT B Computer people talk a lot about the need for other people to become “computer-l iterate”, in other words, to learn to understand computers and what makes them t ick. Not all experts agree, however, that is a good idea. One pioneer, in particular. who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Compu tertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring peopl e closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computert own UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to the people and make them “people-literate”. David first got the idea when he visited one of America’s best-known computer “g uru” figure, Bob Albrecht，in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht had started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, and the local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow so me time on the computers there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way. Over here, in Britain，Computertowns have taken off in a big way，and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most succ essful when tied to a computer club. He insists there is a vast and important di fference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs cater f or the enthusiasts, with some computer knowledge already, who get together arid eventually form an expert computer group. This frightens away non-experts, who a re happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them t o experiment on, with experts available to encourage them and answer any questions; they are not told what to do, they find out. David Tehbutt finds it interesting to see the two different approaches working s ide by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about compute rs, but have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people real ly want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and then try to work out some structure to answer them. People are not having to learn computer jargons, but the experts are having to translate computer mysteries into easily understood terms; the computers are becoming “people-literate”. 70. According to David Tebbutt, the purpose of Computertown UK is to___ 71. We Learn from the passage that Computertown USA was a ___. 72. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? 73. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computertowns? TEXT C There must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided a s on that of how much sleep we ought to have. There are some who think we can le ave the body to regulate these matters for itself. “The answer is easy,” says Dr . A. Burton. “With the right amount of sleep you should wake up fresh and alert five minutes before the alarm rings.” If he is right many people must be undersl eeping, including myself. But we must remember that some people have a greater i nertia than others.This is not meant rudely. They switch on slowly, and they a re reluctant to switch off. They are alert at bedtime and sleepy when it is time to get up, and this may have nothing to do with how fatigued their bodies are, or how much sleep they must take to lose their fatigue. Other people feel sure that the present trend is towards too little sleep. To qu ote one medical opinion, thousands of people drift through life suffering from the effects of too little sleep; the reason is not that they can’t sleep. Like a dvancing colonists, we do seem to be grasping ever more of the land of sleep for our waking needs, pushing the boundary back and reaching, apparently, for a poi nt in our evolution where we will sleep no more. This in itself, of course, need not be a bad thing. What could be disastrous, however, is that we should press too quickly towards this goal, sacrificing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue. Then, to complete the picture, there are those who believe that most people are persuaded to sleep too much. Dr H. Roberts, writing in Every Man in Health, asse rts: “It may safely be stated that, just as the majority eat too much, so the ma jority sleep too much.” One can see the point of this also. It would be a pity t o retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to w ork and play well with less than the average amount of sleep, if indeed it does them no harm. If one of the trends of evolution is that more of the life span i s to be spent in gainful waking activity, then surely these people are in the va n of this advance. 74. The author seems to indicate that___. 75. The author disagrees with Dr. Burton because___. 76. In the last paragraph the author points out that___. 77. We learn from the passage that the author___. TEXT D Migration is usually defined as “permanent or semipermanent change of residence. ” This broad definition, of course, would include a move across the street or ac ross a city. Our concern is with movement between nations, not with internal mig ration within nations, although such movements often exceed international moveme nts in volume. Today, the motives of people who move short distances are very si milar to those of international migrants. Students of human migration speak of “push” and “pull” factors, which influence an individual’s decision to move from one place to another. Push factors are ass ociated with the place of origin. A push factor can be as simple and mild a matt er as difficulty in finding a suitable job. or as traumatic as war, or severe fa mine. Obviously, refugees who leave their homes with guns pointed at their heads are motivated almost entirely by push factors (although pull factors do influen ce their choice of destination). Pull factors are those associated with the place of destination. Most often thes e are economic，such as better job opportunities or the availability of good lan d to farm. The latter was an important factor in attracting settlers to the Unit ed States during the 19th century. In general, pull factors add up to an apparen tly better chance for a good life and material well-being than is offered by the place of origin. When there is a choice between several attractive potential de stinations, the deciding factor might be a non-economic consideration such as th e presence of relatives, friends, or at least fellow countrymen already establis hed in the new place who are willing to help the newcomers settle in. Considerat ions of this sort cad to the development of migration flow. Besides push and pull actors, there are what the sociologists call “intervening obstacles” Even if push and(or) pull factors are very strong they still may be ou tweighed by intervening obstacles, such as the distance of the move, the trouble and cost of moving, the difficulty of entering the new country, and the problem s likely to be encountered on arrival. The decision to move is also influenced by “personal factors” of the potential m igrant. The same push-pull factors and obstacles operate differently on differen t people, sometimes because they are at different stages of their lives, or just because of their varying abilities and personalities. The prospect of packing u p everything and moving to a new and perhaps very strange environment may appear interesting and challenging to an unmarried young man and appallingly difficult to a slightly older man with a wife and small kids. Similarly, the need to lear n a new language and customs may excite one person and frighten another. Regardless of why people move, migration of large numbers of people causes confl ict. The United States and other western countries have experienced adjustment p roblems with each new wave of immigrants. The newest arrivals are usually given the lowest-paid jobs and are resented by native people who may have to compete w ith them for those jobs. It has usually taken several decades for each group to be accepted into the mainstream of society in the host country. 78. The author thinks that pull factors___. 79. People’s decisions to migrate might be influenced by all the follow ing EXC EPT___. 80. The purpose of the passage is to discuss___.

SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST News Item One (17-18) Haitian hunger strikers at the US labor base at Guantannamo Bay, Cuba, have begun refusing all fluids and medical treatments. 15 of the 267 Haitians are at the base. 7 are prepared to die, if necessary, to force the US to admit the rest of them. The Haitians are eligible to pursue political asylum in the US, but have been barred from entry because most have the AIDS virus. The Clinton Administration says they would lift the ban on their entry, but it is not known when. News Item Two (19) The top three US auto-makers have decided not to proceed with plans to file a trade complaint with Japanese auto-makers. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler had planned to accuse Japanese companies of dumping cars below market prices in the US, but they dropped the idea, citing a pledge by the Clinton Administration to address the US-Japan trade imbalance. News Item Three (20-21) About 100 people are now known have died in what has been described as “the worst storm” ever to hit the eastern US this century. The hurricane-force winds first struck the Gulf of Mexico and have now spread across the Canadian border, continuing to bring reckless snowfalls, severe flooding, and causing millions of dollars in damage. All major airports have now reopened and airlines are beginning to cope with a backlog of thousands of stranded passengers. The storm also paralyzed areas of Cuba, where several people were killed, and property and crops destroyed. News Item Four (22) France has carried out another underground nuclear test in the South Pacific. It is the fifth in the region since September. The test was conducted at the Moruroa atoll on Wednesday. Paris has come under strong criticism for its nuclear testing programme, especially from Asia-Pacific countries. A State Department spokeswoman in Washington expressed disappointment at the latest French test. France has promised to sign a global test ban treaty after it completes its current series of nuclear tests in the Pacific. News Item Five (23) The association representing British airline pilots says that there is an urgent need to raise levels of air safety throughout the world. In the statement,the association, known as Bobo, warns that unless air safety improves travelers face a perilous future. The association also said that the standard of training must be raised among fly crews and air traffic controllers as the sky has become ever more crowded. News Item Six (24-25) The Western European Union, the defense organization linking most countries of the European Community, is meeting in Luxembourg to discuss ways to reinforce economic sanctions against the Serbs by tightening controls on the River Danube. It is expected to approve of a proposal to send patrol boats manned by armed police and customs officers with power to search and turn back ships suspected of breaking the sanctions.International efforts to isolate Serbia have been undermined by ships carrying oil and other illegal supplies from the Black Sea region along the Danube into the former Yugoslavia after ignoring attempts by the local authorities to stop them. It is reported that most of the illegal traffic of goods is believed to be arriving in Serbia over land from Greece and former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonian.

41．答案：B 【参考译文】在经历了一场似乎永无休止的等待后，终于轮到她进入人事经理的办公室了。 【试题分析】本题为语法题，考关系代词的用法。 【详细解答】这里需要填一个关系代词，引导一个宾语从句，作介词after的宾语，同时这一关系代词还是宾语从句的主语。在这四个选项中，只有what既可以引导从句，也可以作主语。 42．答案：C 【参考译文】那三个人多次企图偷越边境进入邻国，结果每次都被警察抓住了。 【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对非谓语动词的掌握。 【详细解答】当动词不定式作状语时，可用来说明前面分句描述的行为所产生的结果。 43．答案：C 【参考译文】：据说Johnson教授去年的研究取得了重大进展。 【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对非谓语动词的掌握。 【详细解答】当动作发生在谓语动词之前时，应用不定式的完成时表示。本句中的Professor Johnson去年的研究取得重大进展先于谓语动词“据说”之前，故应用动词不定式的完成式。 44．答案：A 【参考译文】脂肪不能转换为肌肉，正像肌肉不能转换成脂肪一样。 【试题分析】本题考查对固定结构的掌握。 【详细解答】not…any more than…意为“正像……一样也不……”；no more than意为“仅仅，不过是”；no less than意为“不少于……”；much more than意为“比……多得多”。根据句意，选项A为正确答案。 45．答案：C 【参考译文】与其说是语言，还不如说是文化背景使得这本书难以读懂。 【试题分析】本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。 【详细解答】只有It is not so much．．．as．．．为固定结构，意思是“与其说是……不如说是……”。 46．答案：A 【参考译文】：由于感到登山存在危险而产生的焦虑不应像如今公众心里所想象的那么多。爬山时对所察觉到的危险的焦虑要比人们内心想象而产生的焦虑少一些。 【试题分析】本题为语法结构题。 【详细解答】本句的主干部分为“There ought to be less…than…”，than后面应该跟一个句子与“There ought to be”构成比较关系，但是than后面的句子为避免重复省略了主语anxiety，所以谓语应用exists。 47．答案：A 【参考译文】我从未去过拉萨，但那却是我最想参观的城市。 【试题分析】本题为语法结构题。 【详细解答】选项 I’d most like to visit在句中是宾语从句，其先行词是city，宾语从句省略了关系代词that或which。 48．答案：A 【参考译文】他过去也许做得不是十分明智，但至少他在努力做一些有益的事情。 【试题分析】本题考查对情态动词及虚拟语气用法的掌握。 【详细解答】 may + have + 过去分词，表示对过去事情的猜测，may表示不确定，意为“过去也许……”；must表确定性的猜测，用来提示说话人假设某人在过去曾做过某事，说话人对其假设的内容十分肯定，意为“过去一定……”。根据句意，选项A为正确答案。 49．答案：B 【参考译文】如果你真的学习英语这么长时间了，现在应该差不多能用英语写信了。 【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对虚拟语气的掌握。 【详细解答】 It’s about time．．．为固定用法，是一个典型的虚拟语气句型，从句中的谓语动词用一般过去时。 50．答案：C 【参考译文】他是那种大家所熟悉的牢骚满腹的人——总是怨这怨那。 【试题分析】本题为语法结构题。 【详细解答】 what相当于something that。what is known as意思是“大家所熟悉的，所谓的”。what is known as a“bellyacher”在句中作表语，用于说明he的身份、职业等。 51．答案：B 【参考译文】无论任务多艰难，他总是尽力按时完成。 【试题分析】本题为语法结构题，考查对让步状语从句的掌握。 【详细解答】however意思是“无论如何，不管如何”，当它引导让步状语从句时，后面需要紧跟形容词或副词，表示对形容词或副词意义的强调。而当though引导让步状语从句时，从句后面的内容应为正常语序。故只有选项B为正确答案。 52．答案：A 【参考译文】尽管我非常乐意借钱给他，但我当时确实没有那么多的多余现金，所以没能借钱给他。 【试题分析】本题为语法题，考查对虚拟语气的掌握。 【详细解答】 as在此句中引导让步状语从句，需要倒装。根据句意，从句是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，所以谓语要用would have。 53．答案：C 【参考译文】我的表兄极为贪吃，但对吃什么并不过分挑剔。 【试题分析】本题为形容词词义辨析题。 【详细解答】special意为“特别的，特殊的”；peculiar意为“独特的，特有的”；particular意为“(过于)讲究的；挑剔的”；specific意为“具体的；特定的”。根据句意，选项C为正确答案。 54．答案：A 【参考译文】因为他现在正不知道首先该做些什么，所以你的建议对他极为有益。 【试题分析】本题为副词词义辨析题。 【详细解答】exceedingly意为“非常，很”；excessively意为“过度，过分，过多地”；extensively意为“广阔的，大范围的”；exclusively意为“独占地；唯一地”。这里是指“建议是非常有价值的”，故选项A为正确答案。 55．答案：C 【参考译文】在很多时候，很难用英语传达汉语成语的确切意思。 【试题分析】本题为动词词义辨析题。 【详细解答】 exchange意为“交换”；transfer意为“转移；传输”；convey意为“传达，传递，表达(思想、想法等)”；convert意为“转换，变换”。这里是指句意的转达，故答案选C。 56．答案：D 【参考译文】在领回押金前，她拒绝将大门钥匙交给女房东。 【试题分析】本题为短语辨析题。 【详细解答】hand in意为“递交，上交，提出”；hand out意为“分发，交给，取出”；hand down意为“留传下来，把……传下去”；hand over意为“交出，移交”。根据句意，选项D为正确答案。 57.答案：D 【参考译文】科学家对最好从事什么样的项目研究具有绝对的自由。 【试题分析】本题为动词词义辨析题。 【详细解答】 engage意为“使从事，忙于”，常与介词in搭配；devote意为“贡献(给)，致力”，常与介词to搭配；seek意为“寻求，探求，追求”，seek to+动词原形，意为“设法(力图)做某事”；D项pursue意为“(继续)做，从事，忙于”。这里是指从事某方面的工作，故选项D最合题意。 58．答案：A 【参考译文】奥林匹克运动会起源于公元前776年希腊一个名叫奥林匹亚的小城。 【试题分析】本题为动词词义辨析题。 【详细解答】originate意为“(使)开始，源自，产生”；stem意为“发生于，起源于”，常用于stem from／out of结构；derive意为“起源(于)”，常与介词from连用；descend意为“由……传下来”。根据句意及其搭配，选项A 为正确答案。 59．答案：D 【参考译文】我们应始终牢记仓促之下做出的决定往往会产生严重的后果。 【试题分析】本题为形容词词义辨析题。 【详细解答】urgent意为“紧急的，迫切的”；instant意为“瞬间的，即时的”；prompt意为“立即行动的，敏捷的”；hasty意为“匆匆的，草率的”。这里指“仓促的决定”，故选项D为正确答案。 60．答案：D 【参考译文】管理部门正努力与五个不同的工会达到一致意见，从而引发了漫长的谈判。 【试题分析】本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。 【详细解答】动词agree可以与介词upon，in, with搭配。agree upon意为“对……意见一致”；agree in意为“关于……意见一致”；agree with意为“与……(意见)一致”。这里是说与某人达成一致意见，所以答案选D。 61. 答案：D 【参考译文】公司董事长说新技术已从根本上提高了生产效率。 【试题分析】本题为副词词义辨析题。 【详细解答】 violently意为“猛烈地，激烈地”；severely意为“剧烈地，严酷地”；extremely意为“非常，很，极(端)”；radically意为“根本上，完全地，本质地”。这里是要说新技术以何种方式提高了生产效率，显然是“从根本上”最准确。 62. 答案：D 【参考译文】地方当局意识到有必要在住房规划上为老年人做准备。 【试题分析】本题为词语辨析亿。 【详细解答】preparation意为“预备”，常用结构为make preparations for，意思是“作(好)……的准备，为……做准备”；requirement意为“需要，要求”； specification意为“详细说明”；D项provision意为“预备，(预防)措施”，常用结构为make provision for，意思是“为……作好准备，采取措施”。这里是指为老年人的住房计划作好准备，故答案选D。 63. 答案：C 【参考译文】客队在去年的亚俱杯决赛中以2：4不敌主队。 【试题分析】本题考介词的用法。 【详细解答】介词to可以用来表示对比、对应、比较等，这里是指比赛中的比分。 64. 答案：A 【参考译文】因为他没有涉嫌谋杀，警察就放了他。 【试题分析】本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。 【详细解答】 be guilty of为固定搭配，意思是“有罪的，犯有……罪的”。 65. 答案：D 【参考译文】作为一个发展中国家，他们必须跟上世界经济的飞迅发展。 【试题分析】本题考查对固定搭配的掌握。 【详细解答】keep pace with意思是“跟上……，与……并驾齐驱”；be in step with意思是“与……同步(相协调)”；keep (in)step with意思是“与……保持同步(步调一致)”；move和speed都不能用于这种结构。根据句意及其搭配，答案应选D。

SECTION A ［参考范文］ A Major Advantage of Advertising on Television Nowadays we can see advertisements on Television every day. Some people believe that advertising on television can bring us benefits, but others don’t think so. In my opinion, I am in favor of the advertising on television. There are two reasons, I think, for the growing number of advertisement on TV. First, in a competitive economy, the consumer usually has the choice of several different brands of the same product. Thus, manufacturers are confronted with a problem—How to keep sales high enough to stay in business. They solve this problem by advertising. Through advertising, each manufacturing company tries to convince consumers that its product is special. Second, most consumers are interested in advertisement. They wish to get from TV advertisement the firsthand information about new products, which enables them to choose the one they like best. As a result, there is a sharp increase in advertisement on the TV screen. In conclusion, TV advertising plays a very important role in our economic behavior. With abundant information available on TV, we can make sensible choices as consumers.
