Part III Reading comprehension(40 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Hair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (临时旳), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.
It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.
Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.
Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root. This is not something that should cause great concern.
Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal(季节性旳）, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.
The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth.
The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. There is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.
61. According to science, _________.
A. all hair loss is a normal, healthy sign
B man should pay special attention to hair loss
C. it’s likely that men have more problems of hair loss
D. men lose more hair than women do
62.If the hair root is not alive,_______.
A. there will be illness
B .human beings have no way to cure hair loss
C hair loss are temporary
D. there is still something that can help
63. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is ________.
A. permanent B. healthy sign C. seasonal D. nothing serious
64. The sentence “This, however, is not the end of the world” means _______.
A. man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the future
B. the writer believes the earth exists for ever
C. we can’t destroy the world by any means
D. the last day will never come to our people
65. The best title for the passage may be ________.
A. Loss or Growth B. Hair Loss C. Healthy Sign D. Change with Seasons
Passage 2
Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is“Don’t!”．But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act，although the chances of his becoming famous are slim． The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school．Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted，and the course lasts two years．Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a theatrical company(剧团)，usually as an assistant stage manager．This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts．It is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tiny．
Of course，some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard training．Connie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory．A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his car．He stopped and got out to speak to the girl．He asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was joking．Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful．And within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon.
