EmphasizeII Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: There are 4reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c and d. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage One Passage 1One day in 1754, a man went to the market in Florence, Italy, and bought some meat. The shopkeeper wrapped the meat in a piece of paper and the man took it home. When he unwrapped the meat, he was surprised to see some old writing on the paper.This man was in charge of the public library, so he knew a lot about old books and old writing. He realized that the paper was a page of scientific notes.Only one man wrote like that, the librarian said to himself. It was Galileo who wrote these notes!Who was Galileo? Galileo was a famous Italian scientist. He was a man of ideas, but he was also a man of action. He made many experiments in order to find out more about the earth and the universe. Galileo believed that scientists should not only sit in universities and talk about theory; they should also make practical experiments and learn from the results.Galileo wrote down notes of all the experiments he made. After Galileos death in 1642, Viviani, one of his students, collected the notes together and put them into his own library. However, when Viviani died, nobody looked at Galileos notes any longer. For many years, people forgot about them.The librarian hurried back to the market and asked the shopkeeper where he had got the paper from. The shopkeeper led him to the house where he bought the paper from. In the house, the librarian found many more of Galileos notes. The family gave them to him.In this way, a large number of important notes about Galileos experiments were saved. 31.The librarian got Galileos notes from _D_. A the butcher B Viviani C a family living in Vivianis house D the market near Vivianis house 32.Which statement about Galileo is NOT true? A A He was full of ideas. B He did a lot of experiments.

A the family was unaware that they had Galileos notes B the librarian bought the notes C Viviani gave the notes to the family D the shopkeeper informed the librarian of the notesPassage Two Women often say they feel the effects of alcohol more than men do, even if they drink the same amount relative to body size. Now theres medical evidence that women do become affected more quickly, in part because their stomachs are less able to break down alcohol. Scientists have found that, in general, about 30 percent more alcoholappears in the bloodstreams of women than of men of similar weight after up to two drinks have been consumed. And considering that men are usually bigger than women, the findings suggest that the first drink for a woman may have the same effect as the first two drinks for a man. Some of the alcohol that people drink is broken down by a stomach enzyme(酶) and never reaches the bloodstream. Since the stomach enzyme is half as active in women as in men, more of what women drink enters the bloodstream in the form of pure alcohol. It is also found that the enzyme activity is lower in alcoholics particularly women who had no noticeable protection. This may help explain why more alcoholic women suffer from liver damage than alcoholic men. 36. break down in the first paragraph can be best replaced by _B_. A. split into B. decompose C. share D. cut down37. Which of the following statements is true based on the passage? A A. Women are affected more quickly by alcohol than men. B.

A. they are stronger and of bigger sizeB. their livers are more resistant to liver damage C. they have a bigger stomach D. less alcohol they drink will appear in the bloodstreamPassage ThreeExtra money does buy some happiness. But not as much as many people would think. Recently, two economists have constructed a sort of happiness index that assigns”3” to “very happy”, “2” to “pretty happy” and “1” to “not too happy”, and thus they reckon that an extra dollar provides 0.000004.9 in additional happiness. Or $10.000 would give you 0.04 units of extra happiness.The two economists, using this index, assign a dollar value to other factors that are associate with more or less happiness. They find: Second and following marriages are less happy than first marriages on average. A 16-year-old boy whose parents divorced has a lower level of well-being in adulthood.Other findings include:To bring African-Americans up to average happiness levels, they would need an extra $30.000 in annual income.This, the authors guess, may be the impact of racial prejudice. Over the past few decades, however, their happiness level has risen. “Blacks have made up some ground,” they say.Unemployment is highly damaging to mens happiness. It would take $60.000 a year to make up for being jobless.Mens happiness has trended up. Womens sense of well-being, though higher than that of men, had fallen” noticeably”.Policies aimed at ending prejudice against women in fact have not increased their happiness on the whole.The educated people tend to be happier than those who are less educated. Many people may think that this is because they have higher income that often goed with greater education. But in fact even when separated from the higher income, the educated may have a higher sense of well-being.Happiness and life satisfaction are U-shaped according to age. In the United States, peoples sense of well-being goes down to a low around 40 and then rises.Perhaps, the authors suggest, people adapt to their circumstances, give up some unfulfilled ambition by the middle of their lives, and enjoy life more.Generally the number o children and siblings a person has doesnt have an impact on both children and siblings. Some scientists found in their separate study, ” The Rising Well-Being of the Young”. 41. Extra money_C_.A. may buy some happinessB. can buy as much happiness as people expectC. is certain to buy some happinessD. is impossible to buy happiness42. Which of the following statements is not true? CA. Generally, first marriages are the happiest ones.B. Parents divorce will also decrease the childrens happiness.C.

A. people above 40 B. people around 40 C. people under 40 D. people under 3045. A good title for this passage is “_B_”. A. Happiness Level B. Happiness Index C. Happiness and Life Satisfaction D. Sense of Well-BeingPassage FourThe Swedes are among the most charming peoples in Europe. And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most ntellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas. All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (儀式) made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a Welcome; when he leaves, his host will tell him You will be welcome again. These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners. Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden: telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices. 46. The contradiction of the Swedes can be found in _B_. A) their strictness in social activities and friendliness in entertaining guests B) their conserved attitude towards social relationships and openness to initiative ideas C) their clearly set social patterns and enthusiasm about big parties D) their specific ritual and concern about good manners 47.Invariably in the second paragraph can be best replaced with _D_. A) often B) usually C) sometimes D) always 48. It cannot be inferred from the passage that the Swedes are _A_. A) hard-working B) polite C) considerate D) efficient 49. According to the passage, the Swedish social ritual doesnt include _D_. A) greetings B) bows C) handshaking D) embraces 50. Which of the following statements is NOT true? C A) People can hear the priest more clearly with the hearing aids in the church. B) The Swedes homes are among the best equipped ones in the world. C) Travelers will be most satisfied when travelling in Sweden. D) Its very convenient to make a call in booths in Sweden.III Cloze 20%If you were to begin a new job tomorrow, you would bring with you some basic strengths and weaknesses.
