　　Part III Reading Comprehension

　　Section A

　　Directions:There are 3 passages in this par:Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinishedstatements.Choose the correct answer and mark the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet with a single line through the center:

　　Passage One

　　How much living space does a person need?What happens when his space requirements are notadequately met?Sociologists and psychologists are conducting experiments on rats to try to determinethe effect of overcrowded conditions on man.Recent studies have shown that the behavior of rats isgreatly affected by space.If rats have adequate living space,they eat well,sleep well,and reproducewell.However,if their living conditions become too crowded,their behavior patterns and even theirhealth perceptibly change.They cannot sleep or eat well,and signs of fear and tension become obvious.The more crowded they are,the more they tend to bite each other and even kill each other.Thus for rats,population and violence are directly related.Is this a natural law for human society as well?Is adequatespace not only desirable,but also essential for human survival?

　　51.This passage is mainly about______.

　　A.living space and behavior　　B.population and living conditions

　　C.interesting experiments on rats　　D.a natural law for human society

　　52.What is the purpose of the experiments described in the passage?

　　A.To determine how much living space a rat needs.

　　B.To see what happens when rats live in a limited space.

　　C.To know the likely effects of inadequate living space on human beings.

　　D.To find out the relationship between population and living conditions.

　　53.How would rats behave when their living conditions become too crowded?

　　A.They eat a lot and become friendly to others.

　　B.They sleep little and act quite peacefully.

　　C.They eat little but sleep soundly.

　　D.They become nervous and tend to be war-like.

　　54.The passage suggests that overcrowded conditions____.

　　A.are directly related with population　　B.may cause an increase in violence

　　C.may lead to high birth rate　　D.may bring about pollution problems

　　Passage Two

　　Many people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language.Over the years,people have made up new languages with this aim.At least six hundred languages have been developedin the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak.The most famous one,Esperanto(世界语),was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof,a doctor in Warsaw.He published a book abouthis new language in 1887.

　　To encourage people to learn the language,he made it as simple as possible.Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language,but it has been suggested as an auxiliary language.By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers,and it was spoken insix hundred schools.Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people,and more than onehundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world.Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto,including those translated from other languages.

　　Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious.Throughout thiscentury English has grown more and more important.It has become a second language for manymillions of people.The fact that more are learning English shows that the use of English is stillgrowing worldwide.No one would deny the usefulness of a world language,but not many people thinkthat Esperanto is likely to play such a role.

　　55.Over the years,people have made up new languages in the hope that______.

　　A.allpeople will be able to speak a common language

　　B.people will learn a foreign language better

　　C.people can understand each other better

　　D.people will be able to speak several languages

　　56.Zamenhof made the language as simple as possible because____.

　　A.he wanted people to learn it quickly

　　B.he hoped more and more people would be willing to learn it

　　C.he wanted everyone to speak it without any difficulty

　　D.he hoped it would be accepted as an official world language

　　57.Which of the following is NOT true of English?

　　A.It is widely taught in schools.

　　B.It has become a second language for many millions of people.

　　C.Many books have been written in English.

　　D.It is less popular than Esperanto.

　　58.What is the best title of the passage?

　　A.The language made by one man.

　　B.A talk about the world language.

　　C.English as a second language for everyone.

　　D.Esperanto—a better language than English.

　　Passage Three

　　After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994,earthquake scientists had news toreport:The damage and death toll could have been much worse.

　　More than 60 people died in this earthquake.By comparison,an earthquake of similar intensitythat shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.

　　Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m.ona holiday,when traffic was light on the city's highways.In addition,changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city's buildings and highways,making them more resistant to quakes.

　　Despite the good news,civil engineers aren't resting on their successes.Pinned to their drawingboards are blueprints for improved quake-resistant buildings.The new designs should offer even greatersecurity to cities where earthquakes often take place.

　　In the past,making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials,such as steel andwood,that bend without breaking.Later,people tried to lift a building off its foundation,and insertrubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations.Themost recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports.Called smart buildings,the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake's vibrations.When the ground shakes andthe building tips forward,the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.

　　The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.However,they would save many livesand would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.

　　59.One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low wasthat____.

　　A.new computers had been installed in the buildings

　　B.it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways

　　C.large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday

　　D.improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways

　　60.The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to____.

　　A.counterbalance an earthquake's action on the building

　　B.predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy

　　C.help strengthen the foundation of the building

　　D.measure the impact of an earthquake's vibrations

　　61.It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attentionshould be focused on_______.

　　A.the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction

　　B.the development of flexible building materials

　　C.the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations

　　D.early forecasts of earthquakes

　　62.The main purpose of this passage is mostly to____.

　　A.compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.

　　B.encourage civil engineers to make extensive use of computers

　　C.outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials

　　D.report new developments in constructing quake-resistant building

　　Online Games

　　With the Internet developing,online games have become very popular among college students,which has caused a wide concern.

　　In terms of the phenomenon,opinions vary from person to person.On the one hand,many parentsand schools are worried about online games,saying that the young who are addicted to them will suffera lot in their academic performance(学习成绩).No denying that quite a few students have spent toomuch time and energy playing online games,which has had a negative effect on their studying.On theother hand,there is another voice for online games,arguing that many students have enjoyed greatpleasure and satisfaction from these games.To be honest,there are some advantages in online games.Firstly,it is because of playing online games that the young can be trained to respond things quickly.Secondly,it can bring much pleasure to the young,getting them relaxed and the pressure released.(它可以给年轻人们带来欢乐，使他们得到放松并释放压力)

　　From my point of view,what matters most is to play them in a clever way.Not only should youtake advantage of it,but also avoid getting addicted to playing them.
