PartⅡ Reading Comprehension (40 points )

Passage One
Questions 46 to 50are based on the following passage:
The report came to the British on May 21, 1941. The German battleship Bismarck, the most powerful warship in the world, was moving out into the Atlantic Ocean. Her task: to destroy the ships carrying supplies from the United States to war-torn England.
The British had feared such a task. No warship had could match the Bismarck in speed or in firepower. The Bismarck had eight 15-inch guns and 81 smaller guns. She could move at 30 nautical mile（海里）an hour. She was believed to be unsinkable.
However, the British had to sink her. They sent out a task force headed by their best battleship Hood to hunt down the Bismarck. On May 24, the Hood found the Bismarck.
It was a meeting that the German commander Luetjens did not want to see. His orders were to destroy the British ships that were carrying supplies, but to stay away from a fight with British warships.
The battle didn't last long. The Bismarck's first torpedo（鱼雷）hit the Hood, which went down taking all but three of her 1,419 men with her.
But in the fight, the Bismarck was slightly damaged（损坏）.Her commander decided to run for repairs to France, which had at that time been taken by the Germans. The British force followed her. However, because of the Bismarck's speed and the heavy fog, they lost sight of her.
For two days, every British ship in the Atlantic tried to find the Bismarck, but with no success. Finally, she was sighted by a plane from Ireland. Trying to slow the Bismarck down so that their ships could catch up with her, the British fired at her form the air. The Bismarck was hit.

Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:
B747-200F is presently the biggest commercial freighter in the world capable of reaching longest range and carrying heaviest payload. Its flight performance and equipment can assure safe operation day and night under adverse meteorological conditions all over the world. From the hottest equator to the coldest polar circle, it can normally take off and land. Even airports at high elevation over 4,000 meters can be listed as normal places for it to deliver and carry goods.
B747-200F freighter is one number of B747-200 aircraft. Its overall Length is 69.80m, overall height 19.58m; wing span 59.64m; maximum Take-off weight 377.842kg, maximum landing weight 285,779kg.
When fully loaded with fuel, it can still carry payload of 52,889kg. By that time, the range will be 11.050km with standard reserve. The freighter is structurally configurated with upper, main and lower part. Main deck is the main cargo compartment. The forward part of the lower deck is the front lower cargo hold. The rear part is aft lower cargo hold. Near the tail of the aircraft there is a bulk cargo compartment, mainly for mailbags and other bulk cargoes.
All cargo compartments are pressurized. All pressurized compartments except aft lower hold is air conditioned. The aft lower hold is heated to keep inside temperature above 6 degrees Celsius. It is not air conditioned. Therefore, the main cargo and front lower cargo hold can be used to carry live goods. Especially the main cargo compartment is a fight place to carry valuable animals, which can be fed and taken care of by cargo master in the air.
51. Which statement is true according to this passage?
A) B747-200F is by far the largest commercial airliner.
B) Sometimes B747-200F can take off and land at the equator.
C) Sometimes B747-200F can take off and land at the polar circle.
D) Mailbags are often put in a bulk cargo compartment at the rear part of the
52. In B747-200F, which compartment can not be used to carry live goods?
A) The front lower cargo hold.
B) The aft lower cargo hold.
C) A bulk cargo compartment.
D) The main cargo hold.
53. When fully loaded with fuel, it can still carry payload of 52,889kg.Here “Payload” means.
A) Zero fuel weight.
B) Manufacturer’s empty weight.
C) Maximum takeoff gross weight.
D) Design landing weight.
54. Where is the best place for some valuable animals to live in this freighter?
A) The front upper deck.
B) The rear upper deck.
C) The main cargo compartment.
D) The front lower cargo compartment.
55. How many decks are there in this freighter according to its structure?
A) One.
B) Two

Passage Three
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
To get an aeroplane into the air and fly it is one problem; to fly it in right direction and land at a point hundreds, perhaps thousands, of miles away presents another set of problems altogether. The process of finding the way from one place to another is known navigation and, as far as aeroplanes are concerned, this frequently has to be done at night, or in cloudy weather, when the ground cannot be seen.
The basic aircraft instruments used for navigation, namely the airspeed indicator, the magnetic compass and an accurate clock only give information about what the aircraft is doing in relation to the air through which it is flying. But unless the day is windless, the air as a whole is itself moving in the relation to the ground, so the navigator must calculate what allowances must be made for the action of the wind on his plane at the height at which he is flying.
Modern airlines have other navigational aids. Radar allows a pilot to “see” through the darkness of clouds and radio direction-finding equipment can be turned-in to ground stations so that the aeroplane’s position can be accurately pin-pointed. Of course, on a clear day when the ground is visible navigation becomes a fairly simple matter of locating landmarks, such as towns and rivers, which can be easily recognized.
56. The meaning of the word “navigate” is __.
A) to get an aeroplane into the air
B) to fly an aeroplane
C) to find the way from one place to another
D) to land an aeroplane
57. Radar allows a pilot to see __.
A) only during daytime
B) only through the darkness
C) only through clouds
D) through the darkness or clouds
58. Navigation becomes a fairly simple matter of locating landmarks __.
A) at night
B) on a clear day
C) in clouds
D) in bad weather conditions
59. Which of the following is not true?
A) Navigation frequently has to be done at night.
B) Navigation has nothing to do with aeroplane
C) Navigation frequently has to be done in cloudy weather
D) Navigation frequently has to be done when the ground cannot be seen.
60. Which one of the following is not included in the basic aircraft instruments used for navigation?
A) The airspeed indicator
B) The jet engine.
C) The magnetic compass.
D) An accurate clock.

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following materials. Read the statement or passage and then choose the best answer to the question. Answer the question on the basis of what is stated or implied in the statement or passage
61. A backpacker must be prepared for climatic extremes. When you hit the trail in the morning, the temperature may be below zero. You have to keep warm but also be able to move comfortably and freely. As the sun comes up, the temperature often climbs rapidly, and you must be able to dissipate heat. But then, as you move around an outcropping of rock or into forest cover, the temperature can drop almost instantaneously.
The author suggests that a backpacker must be
A. insensitive to cold
B. experienced at climbing
C. adaptable
D. courageous

62. A personal computer is a small computer based on a microprocessor; it is a microcomputer. Not all microcomputers, however, are personal computers. A microcomputer can be dedicated to a single task such as controlling a machine tool or metering the injection of fuel into an automobile engine; it can be a word processor, a video game, or a “pocket computer” that is not quite a computer. A personal computer is something different: a standalone computer that puts a wide array of capabilities at the disposal of an individual.
The author’s chief aim in the passage is most likely to
A. provide an introduction to the subject of personal computers
B. convince readers to buy a personal computer
C. suggest possible uses for a personal computer
D. outline the eventual applications of personal computers

63. A recent study conducted by British zoologists concludes that, like birds and other animals, human beings possess a “homing instinct.” The study showed that this homing instinct or natural sense of direction is based on some kind of perception of magnetic fields. When blindfolded students who otherwise displayed a keen homing sense were made to wear helmets containing magnets, they became disoriented.
The passage suggests that the cause of the students’ disorie
