IV. Reading Comprehension (20 points, 2 points each)
得 分

Directions: In this part there are 2 passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
It is often claimed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. We live in a consumer society where there is an enormous demand for commercial products of all kinds. Moreover, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. Such an increase presumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. Many people believe that nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power and that it is therefore essential for an industrially developing society. There are a number of other advantages in the use of nuclear energy. Firstly, nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. A further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. The nuclear reactor represents an enormous step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel. However, opponents of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct threat not only to the environment but also to civil liberties.
Furthermore, it is questionable whether ultimately nuclear power is a cheap source of energy. There have, for example, been very costly accidents in America, in Britain and, of course, in Russia. The possibility of increases in the cost of uranium in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions could price nuclear power out of the market. In the long run, environmentalists argue, nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. Thus, if we wish to survive, we cannot afford nuclear energy. In spite of the case against nuclear energy outlined above, nuclear energy programs are expanding. Such an expansion assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. However, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. Having weighed up the arguments on both sides, it seems there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power.
1. The advocates of nuclear energy claim that nuclear energy is __________.
A. extremely dangerous B. vital in our society
C. exhaustible and expensive D. primitive and cheap
2. Some people think that nuclear energy is essential because __________.
A. there is a serious shortage of manpower
B. it provides a perfect solution to mass unemployment
C. it is impossible to return to more primitive sources of fuel

调研课题： D. it can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing society
3. Which of the following statements does the writer support?

（一）对“漂亮女生”饰品店的分析A. The demand for commercial products will not necessarily keep increasing.

然而影响我们大学生消费的最主要的因素是我们的生活费还是有限，故也限制了我们一定的购买能力。因此在价格方面要做适当考虑：我们所推出的手工艺制品的价位绝大部分都是在50元以下。一定会适合我们的学生朋友。C. Nuclear energy provides an inexhaustible and economical source of power.
D. Greater safety provisions can bring about the expansion of nuclear energy programs.

精明的商家不失时机地打出“自己的饰品自己做”、“DIY(Do It Yourself)饰品、真我个性”的广告，推出“自制饰品”服务，吸引了不少喜欢标新立异、走在潮流前端的年轻女孩，成为上海的时尚消费市场。其市场现状特点具体表现为：Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction. You need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “ a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.

随科技的迅速发展，人们的生活日益趋向便捷、快速，方便，对于我国传统的手工艺制作，也很少有人问津，因此，我组想借此创业机会，在校园内开个DIY创意小屋。它包括编织、刺绣、串珠等，让我们传统的手工制作也能走进大学，丰富我们的生活。 If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But is one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals, “I know you”, “I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
7. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.
A. every glance has its significance
B. staring at a person is an expression of interest
C. a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D. a glance conveys more meaning than word
8. If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is _____.
A. to look into another passenger’s eyes
B. to avoid eye contact with other passengers
C. to signal you are not a threat to anyone
D. to keep a distance from other passengers
9. By “a dimming of the lights” (Para 1, Line 10) Erving Goffman means “______”.
A. closing one’s eyes
B. turning off the lights
C. ceasing to glance at others
D. reducing gaze-time to the minimum
10. If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ______.
A. depressed B. uneasy C. curious D. amused
11. The passage mainly discusses ______.
A. the limitations of eye contact
B. the exchange of ideas through eye contact
C. proper behavior in situations
D. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication

最好的评论家是每个人自己。无论某个学者对某一本书作了什么评价，无论他们如何众口一词地对它大加称赞，倘若它激不起你的兴趣，那么这本书就与你毫不相干。作为读者，你是你所读书籍价值的仲裁人。我们当中，没有一个人跟另外一个人的评价完全相像，至多有点相像而已。想当然地认为对我来说很有价值的书恰恰对你也很有价值，这是不合情理的。但是也确实有这
