Part Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension (2×20 points)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. Foreach of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1

Large companies need a way to reach the saving of the public at large(⼤多数, 整个). The same problem, on a small scale,

faces practically every company trying to develop new products and create new jobs .There can be little prospect of raising(筹集) the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may agree to provide short-term finance, theyare generally unwilling to provide money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the public,

inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in exchange for a share in future profits. They do this byissuing(发⾏) stocks and

shares in the business through the Stock Exchange(证券交易所). By doing that so they can put into circulation(流通) thesavings of individuals and institutions, both at home and overseas.

When the saver needs his money back, he does not have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, hesells his shares to some other saver who is seeking to invest his money.

Many of the services needed both by industry and by each of us are provided by the Government or by local authorities.Without hospitals, roads, electricity, telephones, railways, this country could not function(运作). All these require continuousspending on new equipment and new development if they are to serve us properly, requiring more money than is raisedthrough taxes alone. The government, local authorities, and nationalized industries therefore frequently need to borrowmoney to finance major capital spending, and they, too, come to the Stock Exchange.

There is hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does not depend on the ability of his orher employers to raise money to finance new development. In one way or another this new money must come from the

savings of the country. The Stock Exchange exists to provide a channel(渠道) through which these savings can reach thosewho need finance.

61. Almost all companies involved in new production and development must ______.A. rely on their own financial resources

B. persuade the banks to provide long-term finance

C. borrow large sums of money from friends and people they knowD. depend on the population as a whole for finance

62. The money which enables these companies to go ahead with their projects is ______.A. repaid to its original owners as soon as possibleB. raised by the selling of shares in the companiesC. exchanged for part ownership in the Stock ExchangeD. invested in different companies on the Stock Exchange63. When the savers want their money back they ______.A. ask another company to obtain their money for themB. look for other people to borrow money fromC. put their shares in the company back on the marketD. transfer their money to a more successful company

64. All the essential services on which we depend are ______.A. run by the Government or our local authoritiesB. in constant need of financial supportC. financed wholly by rates and taxes

D. unable to provide for the needs of the population

65. The Stock Exchange makes it possible for the Government, local authorities and nationalized industries ______.A. to borrow as much money as they wishB. to make certain everybody saves money

C. to raise money to finance new developmentD. to make certain everybody lends money to themPassage 2

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious: theyeat too much. But the scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we can find thatpeople were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, usedmachines less and didn’t watch television.

Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact,some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less thanslimmer people.

Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School ofMedicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost. The more they ran, thegreater amount of food they ate.

Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.66. The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that ______.A. they are too slimB. they work too hardC. they are too fat

D. they lose too much body fat

67. According to the article, given 500 adult Americans, ______ people will havea “weight problem”.A. 30B. 50C. 100D. 150

68. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.

B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.D. We don’t know because the information is not given.

69. In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s ______.A. ate more food and had more physical activitiesB. ate less food but had more activitiesC. ate less food and had less physical exerciseD. had more weight problems

70. Modern scientific researches have reported to us that ______.A. fat people eat less food and are less active

B. fat people eat more food than slim people and are more activeC. fat people eat more food than slim people but are less active

D. thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intakePassage 3

Catherine Smith, a second-year college student at Colorado State University, first had a problem taking tests when she begancollege. “I was always well prepared

for my tests. Sometimes I studied for weeks before a test. Yet I would go to take the test, only to find I could not answer thequestions correctly. I would blank out because of nervousness and fear. I couldn’t think of the answer. My low grades on thetest did not show what I knew to the teacher.”

This student was experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is uneasy about a test, his or hermind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the extreme tension andnervousness. Although poor grades are often a result of poor study habits, sometimes test anxiety causes the low grades.Recently, test anxiety has been recognized as a real problem, not just an excuse or a false explanation of lazy students.Special university counseling course try to help students. In these courses, counselors try to help students by teaching themhow to manage test anxiety. At some universities, students take tests to measure their anxiety. If the tests show their anxiety ishigh, the students can take short courses to help them deal with their tension. These courses teach students how to relax theirminds. Students are trained to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their mindswork at ease. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.

An expert at the University of California explains, “With almost all students, relaxation and less stress are felt after talking ourprogram. Most of them experience better control during their tests. Almost all have some improvement. With some, theimprovement is very great.”

71. To “blank out” is probably ______.A. to be like a blanketB. to be sure of an answerC. to be unable to think clearlyD. to show knowledge to the teacher

D. something that cannot be changed

74. To deal with this problem, students are advised to ______.A. take a short course on anxietyB. read about anxiety

C. be able to manage or understand their anxietyD. take tests to prove they are not anxious

75. A university of California counselor said ______.

A. all students could overcome the anxiety after taking a special test anxiety program

B. almost all students felt less stressful after taking a University of California counseling courseC. students found it difficult to improve even though they had taken a special test anxiety courseD. students found it easy to relax as soon as they entered a University ofCalifornia counseling coursePassage 4

Our child’s behavior is greatly influenced by the way we react to what he has done. Our reactions help to determine whetherour child will repeat his behavior or whether he will do something different. This statement is a very important part of aprinciple of behavioral psychology.

The principle states that a behavior is influenced or affected by how the environment immediate responds to the behavior.Perhaps without realizing it, you have used this principle many times.

On the occasion when you told your child what a good boy he was after he cleaned up his room, you used the principle.

When you sent your child to his room for fighting with his brother, you used the principle. When I gave Kim a cookie after shestarted to cry, I used the principle. In each of these examples, a particular behavior occurred first—cleaning up a room,fighting, and crying.

In addition, there was a reaction to each behavior—the child was praised, sent to his room, or given a cookie. By these

actions, we have influenced the previous behaviors and have helped to determine whether those behaviors will occur againin the future.

76. What is the lecture mainly about?A. Children’s and environmental protection.B. Children’s behavior and fighting.C. Children’s behavior and our response.D. Children and principles.

77. On what kind of principle is the lecture based?A. A principle in chemistry.
