Part 4 Reading comprehension
(每小题：2 分)
Directions: Read the following passages carefully. Each
passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences.
For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and
D. Choose the best answer to each question.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.
We all laugh. We all hurt. We all make mistakes. We all dream,
that's life. It's a journey. Please follow these rules to make
the journey of your life a journey of joy! Staying positive
through the cold season could be your best defense against
getting ill, new study findings suggest.
In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or
flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny
disposition (性格) were less likely to fall ill. The findings,
published in the journal
Psychosomatic Medicine
, build on
evidence that a "positive emotional style" can help ward off
the common cold and other illnesses.
Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in
happiness boosting immune function and subjective as in happy
people being less troubled by a scratchy throat or runny nose.
"People with a positive emotional style may have different
immune response to the virus," explained lead study author Dr
Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. "And
when they do get a cold, they may interpret their illness as
being less severe." Cohen and his colleagues had found in a
previous study that happier people seemed less likely to catch
a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional
trait itself had the effect.
For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with
complete standard measures of personality traits,
self-perceived health and emotional "style". Those who tended
to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a
positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy,
tense and hostile had a negative style. The researchers gave
them nose drops containing either a cold virus or a particular
flu virus. Over the next six days, the volunteers reported on
any aches, pains, or sneezing (打喷嚏) they had, while the
researchers collected objective data. Cohen and his colleagues
found that based on objective measures of nasal woes (鼻部的
不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.
1. The new study findings in the experiment suggest that
_________.
A. Being optimistic is more probable to keep healthy.
2.
B. Staying positive is more likely to catch cold.
C. Having a negative emotion is harmful to the character.
D. Having a good disposition is more likely to get ill.
The phrase "ward off" in Paragraph 2 most probably means
"_________".
A. set aside
B. give in
C. shrug off
D. keep away
3. It can be inferred from Dr. Sheldon Cohen's interpretation
that ______________.
A. people with a positive emotion are more likely to regard
their illness as less serious.
B. people with a negative emotion are more likely to boost
immune function to the virus.
C. people with a positive emotion are more likely to
interpret their illness objectively.
D. people with a negative emotion are more likely to
interpret their illness subjectively.
4. It can be learnt from the passage that the benefits of
having a positive emotional style are _____________.
A. still dubious
5.
B. to be further studied
C. proven by scientific research
D. self-evident
Which of the following would be the best TITLE for the
passage
A. A Happy Journey Full of Joy
B. The Health Benefits of Staying Positive
C. Scientific Evidence of Staying Healthy
D. The Secrets of Staying Positive
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.
According to the new school of scientists, technology is an
overlooked force in expanding the horizons of scientific
knowledge. Science moves forward, they say, not so much through
the insights of great men of genius as because of more ordinary
things like improved techniques and tools. In short, a leader
of the new school contends (声称), the scientific revolution,
as we call it, was largely the improvement and invention and
use of a series of instruments that expanded the reach of
science in innumerable (无数的) directions.
Over the years, tools and technology themselves as a source of
fundamental innovation (创新) have largely been ignored by
historians and philosophers of science. The modern school that
hails technology argues that such masters as Galileo, Newton,
Maxwell, Einstein, and inventors such as Edison attached great
importance to, and derived great benefit from, craft
information and technological devices of different kinds that
were usable in scientific experiments.
The core of the argument of a technology-yes, genius-no
advocate was an analysis of Galileo's role at the start of the
scientific revolution. The wisdom of the day was derived from
Ptolemy, an astronomer of the second century, whose elaborate
system of the sky put Earth at the center of all heavenly
motions. Galileo's greatest glory was that in 1609 he was the
first person to turn the newly invented telescope on the heavens
to prove that the planets revolve around the sun rather than
around the earth. But the real hero of the story, according to
the new school of scientists, was the long evolution in the
improvement of machinery for making eyeglasses.
Federal policy is necessarily involved in the technology vs.
genius dispute. Whether the Government should increase the
financing of pure science at the expense of technology or vice
versa (反之) often depends on the issue of which is seen as the
driving force.
6. What leads to the expansion of science in terms of the new
school of scientists
A. The creative ideas of the great minds.
B. The scientific knowledge of the geniuses.
7.
C. The improvement of ordinary tools and techniques.
D. The neglected force in scientific innovations.
What is the nature of scientific revolution according to
a leader of the new school
A. It helps to invent a series of new instruments.
B. It is actually the result of the development of a series
of instruments.
C. It pushes the science toward a particular direction.
D. It has improved the techniques in innumerable
directions.
8. Why does modern school of scientists pay attention to the
invention and improvement of tools and technology
A. Because they can be applied in scientific experiments.
B. Because they are greatly admired by scientists and
inventors.
C. Because they are overlooked by historians and
philosophers.
D. Because they can be served as a source of basic
innovations.
9. What can be inferred from the statement "the real hero of
the story, ..., was the long evolution in the improvement
of machinery for making eyeglasses"
A. The role of Galileo at the start of the scientific
revolution was underestimated.
B. Ptolemy was the first astronomer to elaborate the system
of heavenly motions.
C. The improved technology and machinery contributed to
Galileo's great discovery.
D. Galileo proved that the sun rather than the earth is
the center of the universe.
10. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph
A. The government's decision on its finance allocation is
determined by its opinion on the priority between science
and technology.
B. The government has developed pure science at the expense
of technology.
C. The government has attached more importance to
technology than pure science.
D. The government will no longer increase the financial
support to pure science.
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.
A certain amount of controversy has been caused by the
publication of a new report by a team of educationalists headed
by Pro. B. J. Smith. The report claims to have statistical
evidence that children who attend a number of different schools
through their parents' having to move around the country are
more than normally vulnerable to a vicious cycle of low academic
achievement. There are also indications, says Professor Smith,
of an unusually high rate of psychological dismay among such
children.
The professor, who has long suspected that the effect on
children whose parents travel to different parts of the country
in search of work has not been sufficiently researched,
stresses that this is not merely an expression of prejudice.
"We are not dealing here with opinions," he says, "It's true,
my personal feeling is that for children's well-being, they
should stay in one school. However, our findings are based on
research and not on any personal attitudes that I or my
colleagues may have on the subject."
Capt. Thomas Muller, an Army lecturer for the past 20 years and
himself a father of two, said, "I've never heard such rubbish.
As far as I'm concerned, absolutely no harm is done to the
education of children who change schools regularly — as long
as they keep to the same system as in our Army school. In my
experience — and I've known quite a few of them — Army children
are as well-adjusted as any others, if not more so. What the
Professor doesn't appear to appreciate is the fact that in such
situations children will adapt much better than adults."
When this was put to Professor Smith, he said that at no time
had his team suggested that all such children were backward or
dismayed in some way, but simply that in their experience there
was a clear tendency.
"Our findings indicate that while the extremely bright child
can cope with regular emotional turbulence without harming his
or her general academic progress, the majority of children
suffer from constantly having to enter a new learning
environment."
11. What does Professor Smith's report suggest
A. Children shouldn't change schools too often.
B. Children who attend different schools are more
vulnerable to vicious diseases.
C. Children who have to move around the country are better
at academic achievement.
D. Children attending many schools have caused a certain
amount of controversy.
12. What does Professor Smith think of the findings of the
research
A. They may merely be an expression of prejudice.
B. They are just based on his personal feeling.
C. They are proved by the research.
D. They are based on personal attitudes.
13. What does Capt. Thomas Muller think of children who change
schools regularly
A. They find it difficult to keep to the same system.
B. They do no harm to the education.
C. They are generally ill-adjusted.
D. They can actually deal with the new environment better
than adults.
14. How does Professor Smith defend himself again Capt. Thomas
Muller
A. He stresses that the majority of children tend to suffer
from constantly adapting to a new learning environment.
B. He argues that only a few children will suffer from
changing schools regularly.
C. He believes that extremely bright child likes to enter
a new learning environment.
D. He suggests that children having regular emotional
turbulence do not harm their academic progress.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The procedure Professor Smith followed to conduct a
study.
B. Whether children would be affected by changing schools
regularly.
C. The opinions people have about children who often change
schools.
D. How army children get used to a new learning
environment.
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Recently there has been a tendency to sympathize with thieves
whose operations have been carried out on a grand scale, and
no attempt whatever has been made to hold them responsible. Some
of the most thievish (像窃贼的) transactions have flourished
and are still flourishing. Their success and their wealth are
the only things recognized. They are honored as financiers and
men of affairs, looked up to and respected.
In reality they are nothing more and nothing less than a lot
of merciless and heartless thieves. Fraud is fraud and cheating
is cheating despite the artistic manner in which it is committed
or the size of the scale upon which it is operated.
It is time these men were classed properly and placed where they
rightly belong, for they are no better than the miserable
sneak-thief who steals a penny from a blind man's dog.
For the past two or three years working people who have made
sacrifices to save a few pennies have been cheated most
unmercifully. Their hard-earned savings have been stolen from
them by every possible scheme from the obvious looting (打劫)
of a bank to the higher and more artistic method of legalized
high risk, complex financial products. Men high up in the
financial world have lent their names to some of the most shady
and notorious schemes that ever dishonored a community or a
people. Because of this the most diligent and economical (节
俭的) American people have been induced to place their
hard-earned and carefully guarded savings in what they were led
to believe was a safe investment, only to find out when too late
that they had fallen into the hands of a gang of extremely
respectable cheats. They cannot recover what they have lost.
The thief is too powerful to be affected by the law while the
victim is too weak to put its machinery in motion. It may be
that the law is defective, or it may be that those having its
machinery in charge are influenced by the wealth of the
transgressors (违犯者). Whatever or whichever it is that is
responsible ought to be investigated and the evil remedied.
16. What does the tendency mentioned in the first paragraph
reflect
A. People only respect success and wealth without any moral
judgment.
B. People prefer to carry out operations on a grand scale.
C. People have made attempt to hold thieves responsible.
D. People encourage some of the most thievish transactions
to flourish.
17. How did working people lose their hard-earned savings
A. They were robbed by the thieves nearby.
B. They were unlucky in investment.
C. They lent their money to men high up in the financial
world.
D. They were cheated by the bank.
18. When the writer says "a gang of extremely respectable
cheats" in Paragraph Four, it is implied that .
A. they are respectable in artistic cheating
B. they are well-educated but ill-behaved
C. they are not well-educated but respected
D. they are cheats with respectable goals
19. What could be a possible reason for the thieves to escape
from law according to the passage
A. They are powerful enough to ignore the law.
B. There are defects in the law.
C. The victim is too weak to investigate them.
D. They are wealthy enough to compensate the victims.
20. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. any thief should be punished
B. moral standards are always upheld
C. there are too many thieves and robbers
D. industrious and honest people should be highly paid
