Prat I Reading Comprehension (共 20 小题,每小题 2 分,共 40 分)
Directions: There are 4 passage in this part . Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements . For each of them there are 4 choices
marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark your answer
by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet .
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 based on the following passage .
We use both words and gestures to express our feelings ,but the problem is
that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways .
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language . So does
laughter or crying . There are also a number of striking similarities in the
way different animals show the same feelings . Dogs , tigers and humans , for
example , often show their teeth when they are angry . This is probably because
they are born with those behavior patterns .
Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the
world . In Chinese and English literature , a phrase like “he went pale and
began to tremble”suggests that the man is either very afraid or deeply shocked
. However , “he opened his eyes wide ” is used to suggest anger in Chinese
whereas in English it means surprise . In Chinese surprise can be described in
a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues ”. Sticking out your tongue
in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike .
Even in the same culture , people differ in the ability to understand and
express feelings Experiments in America have shown that women are usually
better than men at recognizing fear ,anger love and happiness on people’s
faces . Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to
recognize or understand body language than younger people do .

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage .
The English policeman has several nicknames but the most frequently used
are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes form the verb “to cop” (
which is also slang ) , meaning “to take”or “to capture” , and the second
comes form the first name of Sir Robert Peel , a 19th century politician , who
was the founder of the police force as we know it today . An early nickname for
the policeman was “peeler” , but this one has died out .
Whatever we may call them , the general opinion of the police seems to be a
favorable one , except , of course , among the criminal part of the community
where the police are given more derogatory nicknames which originated in
America , such as “fuzz” or “pig” . Visitors to England seem to be very
impressed by the English police . It has , in fact , because standing joke that
the visitor to Britain , when asked for his views of the country , will always
say , at some point or other , “I think your policemen are wonderful”.
Well , the British bobby not always be wonderful but he is usually a very
friendly and helpful sort of character . A music-hall song of some years ago
was called “If You Want To Know The Time , Ask A Policeman ” . Nowadays ,
most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions
to ask the policeman . In London , the policeman spend so much of their time
directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to
do anything else .
Two things are immediately noticeable to the stranger when he sees an
English policeman for the first time . The first is that does not carry a
pistol and the second is that he wears a very distinctive type of headgear ,
the policeman’s helmet . His helmet , together with his height , enables an
English policeman to be time it is suggested that the policeman should be given
a pistol and than his helmet should be taken form him , but both suggestions
are resisted by the majority of the public and the police themselves .

Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage .
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory . The
meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we
make , and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past
experiences , which are brought into the present by memory .
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for
latter for later use . It not only includes “remembering ” things like
arithmetic or historical facts but also involves any change in the way an
animal typically behaves . Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain
because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile . Memory is also
involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat .
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical
objects and machines . Computers , for example , contain devices for storing
data for later use . It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity
of a computer with that of a human being . The instant-access memory of a large
computer may hold up to 100,000 “words” —ready for instant use . An average
American teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of
English . However , this is but a fraction of the total amount of information
which the teenager has stored . Consider , for example , the number of faces
and places that the teenager can recognize on sight .
The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem solving intelligence
of human beings . A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and
combinations of words .
11.According to the passage , memory is considered to be________.
A.the basis for decision making and problem solving
B.the ability to store information for future use
C.an intelligence typically possessed by human beings
D.the data mainly consisting of words and combinations of words
12.The comparison between the memory capacity of a large computer and that of a
human being shows that______.
A.computer’s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager’s
B.computer’s memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human being’s
C.computer’s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager’s
D.computer’s memory capacity is the same as a teenager’s
13.It is implied in the passage that______.
A.only human beings have problem-solving intelligence
B.a person’s memory is different from a computer’s in every respect
C.animals can solve very simple problems
D.animals solve problems by instinct rather than intelligence
14.The phrase “in term of” in the last sentence can be best replaced by
“______” .
A.in connection with
C.consisting
B.expressed by
D.by means of
15.The main idea of the passage is________.
A.what life would be like without memory
B.memory is of vital importance to life
C.how a person’s memory is different form an animal’s or a computer’s
D.what memory carries
Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage .
Clearly if we are to participate in the society in which we live we must
communicate with other people . A great deal of communication is performed on a
person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech . If we travel in buses ,
buy thing in shops , or eat in restaurants , we are likely to have
conversations where we give information or opinions , receive news or comment
,and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society .
Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and
during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one
of the dominating factors of contemporary society . Two things , above others ,
have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry . Firstly ,
inventiveness has led to advances in printing
,
telecommunications
,
photography , radio and television . Secondly , speed has revolutionized the
transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a
back
seat
to
national
news
,
which
itself
is
often
almost
eclipsed(黯然失色)by international news .
No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged
minority . In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed
fortunate , but today there are public libraries . Forty years ago people used
to flock to the cinema , but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV
to watch a programme the is being channeled into millions of homes .
Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of
information . The modern communication industry influences the way people live
in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information ,
education and entertainment .The printing , broadcasting and advertising
industries are all involved with informing , educating and entertaining .
Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is
very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part , the
vast modern network of communications is open to abuse . However , the mass
media are with us for better or for worse , and there is no turning back .
16.The first paragraph emphasizes the ______ of face-to-face contact in social
settings .
A.usefulness
B.limitation
C.nature
D.creativity
17.The development of the communication industry in contemporary society
results form ______.
A.the advances and revolutions
C.the art of mass communication
B.the inventiveness and speed
D.the advances and speed
18.It is implied in the passage that _______ .
A.local news still takes a significant place
B.National news is becoming more popular
C.Local news used to be the main source of information
D.International news is the fastest transmitted news
19.Which of the following statements is NOT true ?
A.Public libraries have replaced private libraries .
B.To possess information used to be a privilege .
C.Communication means more than transmission .
D.Communication influences the way of life and thinking .
20.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the writer is______.
A.concerned about the wrong use of the mass media
B.happy about the drastic changes in the mass media
C.pessimistic about the future of the mass media
D.Indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass media
