Part II Reading Comprehension (40%, 2 points each)

Passage One

In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to anything else on the seas that it was called ―unsinkable‖. So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for only 950 of its 2200 passengers.

Many passengers were aboard the night it ran into an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was impossible to avoid the huge iceberg. A fire also contributed to the ship‘s submersion. Panic increased the number of casualties as people jumped into the water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats. Four hours after the shipwreck, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the survivors ---less than a third of those originally aboard.

The Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.

21. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. The Titanic was the fastest ship afloat. B. The Carpathia rescued the survivors. C. The Titanic sank near Newfoundland.

D. Only a third of those aboard died in the accident in 1912. 22. Which of the following did not contribute to the large death toll(损失)?

A. Panic. B. Fire. C. Speed. D. Carpathia. 23. How many days was the Titanic at sea before sinking?

A. 2. B. 4. C. 6. D. 12.

24. The lifeboats had room for less than half of its passengers because ________.

A. the owners thought that lifeboats were useless and unnecessary for such a giant ship

B. the ship was considered to be sinkable

C. there were too many passengers on board the ship D. the ship was the largest one in the world 25. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The Carpathia picked up most of the survivors.

B. The tragedy occurred when the ship almost reached its destination. C. The ship stuck an iceberg and sank during its first trip from England to

New York.

D. The big fire caused a great number of deaths.

Passage Two

There‘s a reason why people, when asked for money, reply, ―What do you think I am—Fort Knox?‖ Fort Knox, an army base, is best known as the home of America‘s gold, worth more than $6 billion. While people may dream of being rich as Fort Knox, few ever achieve that status. Fort Knox became the gold depository(存放处) in 1936 and during World War II it housed the United States Constitution and the Declaration of Independence for safekeeping.

It used to be that all of America‘s money was backed by gold, and that individuals could turn in their paper money for gold, if they wished. This ended in 1934, when America decided not to make gold coins and not to redeem(兑换) paper money for gold. At the same time, the United States government took possession of all the country‘s gold, later putting it into Fort Knox.

Today, there is no longer one fixed price for gold. Instead, it is bought and sold in a market, much like stocks, with the price changing according to politics and the economy.

26. What is true about gold today according to the passage?

A. Gold is priceless today.

B. People buy and sell gold in black markets in the USA today. C. People can turn in their paper money for gold at a fixed price.

D. The price of gold goes up and down according to politics and the economy. 27. We can safely conclude that .

A. Fort Knox is the same of a big, wealth family B. a few people became rich and settled Fort Knox C. gold worth over $6 billion was discovered at Fort Knox

D. the US government put all the country‘s gold into Fort Knox for the sake

of safety

28. Besides gold, what else was moved to Fort Knox in the 1930s and 1940s?

A. Gold coins.

B. The Declaration of independence. C. The UN Charter. D. Paper money.

29. Before 1934, individuals can turn in their paper money for gold .

A. at a fixed price because all the money in the USA was supported by gold B. at a floating price because all the money was backed by gold C. at a fixed price because America made gold coins D. at a floating price because America made gold coins 30. The word ―redeem‖ in Para.2 can be best replaced by .

A. evaluate B. issue C. exchange D. buy back

Passage Three

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown, in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations -- the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience, and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming(迷人的) and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar(粗俗的).

31. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thought and actions was that ________. A. they could agree upon certain signs B. they could write them down C. they could combine them

D. they could communicate with each other 32. By ―association‖, the author means _________. A. a special quality

B. a joining of ideas and experience in the mind C. an appearance which is puzzling D. a strange feature
