Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的答案涂黑。Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.When Rowland Hill, little more than a hundred years ago, first advocated the introduction of cheap postage in England, he had to face many opponents of the scheme; some said that it would not pay, others that it was unworkable. But Hill, supported by general public opinion, eventually overcame opposition, and late in 1839 the Penny Post was established. From then until the first world war the cost of sending a letter any distance within the United Kingdom remained at one penny. The gloomy prophecies (预言) of the critics were not fulfilled: the profits of the Post Office were maintained and improvements in transport and administration made it possible not only to handle the increased volume of correspondence but also to extend postal facilities.Before this great change took place, the charge for sending a letter varied according to the distance the letter was carried and had to be paid for on delivery by the person to whom it was addressed. The lowest charge was four pence and for long distances as much as eighteen pence. Such high rates, when wages were low, could rarely be afforded by poor people, who were often compelled to refuse letters from their dear ones because they were unable to pay. Under the new scheme, a letter was paid for by the sender, who affixed(贴上) to it an adhesive(粘的) postage stamp, the cost of which was within reach of all. Thus the poor were enabled to exchange news with their relations and friends at a time when many of them had left their homes to seek work elsewhere.Businessmen also found cheap postage a boom and, since it soon turned out to be a great financial success, the new scheme was, before long, adopted by every civilized country in the world——a final tribute(明证) to the wisdom and vision of its promoter. Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?”“And Paul-why didn't I pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends——or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he said, “You're a lucky guy” or “You're a lucky gal,” that's being friendly. But “lucky dog”? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says quare with(符合) the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10th and 11th centuries. As a wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion(抛弃), but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife's right to receive a tenth of all her husband's property. The wife had the right to withhold consent(不同意), in all transactions(交易) the husband would make. And more than just a right: the documents show that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case do the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.The wife shared in the management of her husband's personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona(巴塞罗那). Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on co mpensation(补偿). None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe(法律学家) to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro's personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hottempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.
The right answer can be obtained only if the right questions are asked: a thoroughly _____ (understand) problem is well started toward solution.
Reading Comprehension(30 points,2 points each)从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Among the company was a lawyer, a young man of about twenty-five. On being asked his opinion,he said, " Capital punishment and life imprisonment are equally immoral. If I were to make a choice between them, I would rather choose the latter. Anyway, it' s better to live than not to live at all. "A lively discussion followed. A banker, who was then younger and more nervous than the lawyer, suddenly lost his temper and cried out, "It' s a lie. I bet you two millions. You wouldn' t stick in a cell even for five years. ""If you mean it," replied the young lawyer, "I bet I'll stay there longer; make it fifteen instead of five. ""Fifteen! Done !" cried the banker. "Gentleman, I bet you two millions. ""Agreed. Two millions for my freedom," said the lawyer.So this wild, ridiculous bet came to pass. The banker could not hide his excitement. During supper he said to the lawyer jokingly, "Come to your senses, young man, before it's too late. Two millions are nothing to me, but you stand to lose three or four of the best years of your life. I say three or four because you'II never stick it out any longer. Don't forget that voluntary imprisonment is much harder to put up with than an enforced one. The idea that you have the right to free yourself any moment will poison your life in the cell. I pity you. "And now the banker, pacing from corner to corner, recalled all this and asked himself, " Why did I make this bet? What' s the good7 The lawyer lost fifteen years of his life and 1 threw away two millions. Will it convince people that capital punishment is worse or better than imprisonment for life-? No, no ! Rubbish ! On my part, it was the caprice( 心血来潮) of a well-fed millionaire; on the 1awyer' s part, it' s the pure greed of gold. "Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.In a quiet,darkened lecture room,you begin a frustrating fight against fatigue. The overhead projector hums,and you cannot concentrate on the slides. You stop absorbing information and become absent-minded. The professor lost you a long time ago. You are bored.Virtually everyone gets bored once in a while. Most of us chalk it up to a dull environment. " The most common way to define boredom in Western culture is ' having nothing to do,' " says psychologist Stephen Vodanovich of the University of West Florida. And indeed,early research into the effects of boredom focused on people forced to perform dull tasks,such as working a factory assembly line .But boredom is not merely an natural property of the circumstances,researchers say. Rather this perception is subjective and rooted in aspects of consciousness. Levels of boredom vary among people:some individuals are far less liable to boredom than others-and some,such as extroverts(性格外向者) ,are more likely to have this feeling.Thus,a new generation of scientists is coping with the psychological interpretations of this most tedious of human emotions-and they have found that it is more complicated than is commonly known. Researchers say that boredom is not a unifiecl concept but rather comes in several flavors.Level of attention,an aspect of conscious awareness,plays an important role in boredom,such that improving a person' s ability to focus may therefore decrease boredom. Emotional factors can also contribute to boredom. People who are poor in understanding their own feelings and those who become sucked in and distracted by their moods are more easily bored,for example.Staying away from tedium is not easy. People who are liable to boredom are more likely to suffer from ills depression and drug addiction;they also tend to be socially awkward and poor performers at school or work.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.This green and blue planet spinning in space is under severe stress. If we continue to exploit the planet at the present rate,human and animal life will be threatened. Human pride will be followed by nature' s punishment. To save our earth and ourselves,we need first develop an unbiased understanding of ourselves,nature and life.Everyone understands the meaning of the sentence6*Man should respect animal life and nature". But the exact meaning of man,nature and animal life is not always clear. Many refer to man and animals as if they were essentially different. I consider man to be an animal and only differing in degree and not in kind from other animals. Although I discuss in conventional terms human rights and animal rights as if they were separate,strictly speaking,human rights should be considered a branch of animal rights.The word " nature" is one of the most complex words in the language,but it has developed three main areas of meaning. These are ,first,the essential quality and character of something( as in human nature,or the nature of wood) ; second,the inherent force which influences the world( as in Mother Nature) ; third,the entire world itself. The last can be taken to include or to exclude human be]ngs,as the phrase man and the natural world implies.I consider humans to be an integral part of nature, although they are also the beings most capable of interfering with its processes. Unfortunately a central drive of Western" man" has been to conquer"nature" , as if it were an object separate from him. Hence it has become c.ommon to distinguish between what is natural( existing without man.' s interference) and artificial( man-made). In this way, natural growth is opposed to education, civilization to the natural state. For many urban people living permanently among concrete and glass, nature itself has come to mean little more than the countryside. And this notion of opposition is where the seed of potential destruction lies.
