Part IV . Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: Read the following passages and then do the exercises that follow.
Passage One
Flags of the United States
The basic flag of the United States is one of the world’s oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.
During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonies.
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14, 1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.
By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker’s fancy.
The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.
There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag. Among them are the president’s and vice-president’s flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling.
1. The basic flag of the United States is _____.
A) the oldest national flag in the world
B) as old as the basic flags of some European nations
C) the most beautiful flag in the West
D) one of the world’s oldest flags
2. Before the War of Independence the flags of various European nations flown over the land were symbols of ______.
A) self-rule
B) occupation
C) peace and friendship
D) independence
3. The first official flag of the United States was adopted ______.
A) before the Independence War
B) right after the Independence War
C) when independence was declared in 1776
D) during the War of Independence which ended in 1783
4. The 13 red and white stripes and 13 white stars represent _____.
A) 13 independent states
B) the colonies that declared independence in 1776
C) the U.S. Congress
D) 13 famous figures in the American colonies
5. Why was the original design of 13 stripes restored in 1818?
A) Too many stripes would destroy the shape of the flag.
B) Congress insisted 13 is the best number.
C) That was a decision President Taft had made.
D) The American people suggested it.
Passage Two
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. Thus arises the different ways in which they consider things, persons and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. On the contrary, unhappy people tend to focus their attention on the unpleasant parts of everything. Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks, they “sour the pleasures of society”, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life, since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. For those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and “scarcely that”. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank of fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public disapproval, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconduct. These people should change this bad habit and condescend to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
6. People who are unhappy ____________.
A) always consider things differently from others
B) usually are influenced by the results of certain things
C) can discover the unpleasant part of certain things
D) usually have a fault-finding habit
7. The phrase “sour the pleasures of society” most nearly means they __________.
A) have a good taste to the pleasures of society
B) haven’t a good taste to the pleasures of society
C) feel happy with the pleasures of society
D) enjoy the pleasures of society
8. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to passage?
A) We should pity all such unhappy people.
B) Such unhappy people are critical about everything.
C) If such unhappy people recognize the bad effects of the habit on themselves they may get rid of it.
D) Such unhappy people are also not content with themselves.
9. The phrase “scarcely that” means __________.
A) just like that
B) almost not like that
C) more than that
D) not all like that
10. If such unhappy people don’t change their bad behavior, the author’s solution to the problem is that ___________.
A) people should avoid contact with them
B) people should criticize their misconduct
C) people should help them recognize the bad effects of the habit
D) people should show no respect and politeness to them
Passage Three
Asking three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket (罚款单). Another may say that he sees a rushhour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow (拉着). For perception is the minds’ interpretation of what the sense----in this case our eyes----tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.
11. Seeing and perceiving are
A. the same action.
B. two separate actions.
C. two actions carried on entirely by the eyes.
D. several actions that take place at different times.
12. Perceiving is an action that takes places
A. in our eyes.
B. only when we think very hard about something.
C. only under the direction of a psychologist.
D. in
