Reading Comprehension Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage: When you are near a lake or a river, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it can’t make the water very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises. Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. Then you feel the cool air and the wind, which makes you cool. Of course, scientists can’t answer all of your questions. If we ask, “Why is the ocean full of salt?”, scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean doesn’t get more salt every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question. We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious. 1. The main idea of this passage is .

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day. There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before.

brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other. Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly. This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.

In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, or the cinema. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger comes from. The television viewers need do nothing. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive. Television keeps one informed about what is happening. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. On television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is danger. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People often say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do whatever they are interested. It makes us think, doesn’t it? There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society. 11.

One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers. Another theory proposes that ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics. A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) in the bird’s bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight. 16. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds .

Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces—things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health. It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves. Convenient flats, “motherly” visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied—the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one’s fellows. 26.

I often hear people say that the lack of women in positions of political leadership is an issue that pales next to world crises—global terrorism, fragile economies, inadequate health care and troubled schools. They see no connection between the frightening situations we’re in and the fact that few women sit at the table to determine the solutions. This fundamental imbalance, with men running the world and women mostly spectators, is not a trivial detail. It is the problem. It is also the one solution we have not tried on and the one most likely to work. This is not just me talking. Three decades of research in state legislatures, universities, and international public policy centers have proven beyond doubt that women, children, and men all benefit when women are in leadership. Broader social legislation, benefiting everyone, is more likely to pass if women are in office. We know the power of women as peacemakers in the world from scores of stories about their effectiveness at negotiation, from Ireland to Norway to South Africa and beyond. We can ill afford to use only half our talent, when we know for a fact that today’s complicated challenges demand more than one vision. It’s time for real and permanent power sharing, for real and permanent change—women ruling side by side with men, allowing their voices to rise with different solutions and allowing men to think outside of the masculine box. In this way, we get fresh eyes and fresh solutions from both genders, applied to both old, durable problems and to new, frightening ones. This is not a call to move power from the fingers of men and turn it all over to women. Together we can create a different world, shifting the burden from male shoulders and allowing the variety of thought and life experience to transform our actions—perhaps bringing a greater peace, perhaps allowing men to be better fathers, perhaps providing a new pattern for our security. It’s not easy to get there. Those in power rarely let go without a fight, even if they would benefit by doing so. For women to truly gain the leadership roles, we must be insistent and persistent. We must enlist our many male allies. We must let it be known that we are ready to lead, that in fact we demand it as a birthright. If we think creatively, if we use our community resources, if we support women who say they want to lead, if we use our voices and our votes to get there, we will achieve the transformation of power. 36. What is said about the actuality of the political leadership structure? A. Men run the world, while the women watch them. B. Men operate our world, while the women help them. C. There are almost half women political leaders now. D. Lack of women political leaders is the biggest problem. 37. If the women are in the political leadership, . A. there will be more disputes due to improper negotiation. B. the world will be more hostile because men are unhappy C. the world will be much more harmonious D. it will be helpful to everyone, excluding men 38. How can women get the role of political leadership?

Planning begin months before the first snow falls. Teams submit applications and sketches of their sculptures in July. Then, a panel of judges chooses 14 teams for the championship. The rules are simple: Electric tools are not allowed. Teams carve snow with everything but the results are not entirely in the sculptors’ hands. “If it is extremely sunny and warm,” DeWall, the competition’s director of public relations, explained, “we will erect old sail from sail boats into the air to block the sun from melting the sculptures.” If it snows, she continued, teams have to work extra hard to scrape(刮掉) the new snow off their work. The judges look for creativity, technical skill, and overall impact on the viewer. The winner does not receive any money. “There is no cash prize because the event began with the concept of global camaraderie(情意).” DeWall explained. Instead of focusing on money, she continued, “winners revel(纵情) in the friendship, the art, and the hard work.” 46. What does the phrase “white stuff” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Wood. B.

A. the cash prize B. the friendship C. the art D. the hard work Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage: In the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called “classical conditioning.” This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother’s face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion. The second kind of learning is called “operant (动作的) conditioning.” This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more. 51. The main purpose of this passage is to .
