二、 Reading Comprehension (40 %)
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You
should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 41 through 45. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Successful innovations have driven many older technologies to extinction and have resulted in higher productivity, greater consumption of energy, increased demand for raw material, accelerated flow of materials through the economy and increased quantities of metals and other substances in use each person. The history of industrial development abounds with examples.
In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. Farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings-a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.

A 41. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U. S. Farms in 1870?
A. Animals. B. Humans C. Engines. D. Water
B 42. Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a consequence of new
technological developments?
A. Older technologies die away.

B 43. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ___________.
A. technology began to be more economical
B. the steam engine had been invented
C. the U. S. horse population was about io million
D. a national commission on agriculture had been established
D 44. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that “economists” would __________.
A. plan the economy through yearly forecasts
B. consult the national commission on the economy
C. value the economic contribution of farm animals
D. fail to consider the influence of technological innovation
B 45. What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought by technological innovations.

When Polly left school, she had no idea what she wanted to do. A friend of hers, who was a year older, was at art college, and she suggested to Polly that she join her there.
Polly’s parents were saving money to buy their house, and they had hoped that Polly would start earning too as soon as she left school, so when she told them she wanted to go to art college, she wished them to disagree. But in fact they didn’t say "no".
"You’ll have to find some kind of job to pay for your college," Polly’s mother told her. "Your father and I will be happy to keep you at home, but we have no money for your college courses, and none for paints and all the other things you need."
"Thank you very much," Polly answered. "There’s no problem about getting a job; the head of the art college has offered me one in their library."
After a few months, Polly’s parents really felt very happy when she brought home some of the things she had painted, for which she had received high praise from her teachers.
One day Polly said to her parents, " Why don’t you come to a museum with me? I can tell you all about the paintings and you can see the kinds of things I’m trying to do myself."
Her parents waited until one Saturday when her father didn’t have to work, and then they all went off to the museum that Polly had chosen.
She showed her parents some famous paintings, and then they came to one. "This," Polly said, pointing to it, is Van Gogh’s Sunflowers.

Task 3

For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical (热带旳) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies in the quiet water.
People often have a quiet, peaceful time-perfect for a leisurely(悠闲旳) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往旳) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.
They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels only built in the last 25 years. Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains called Diamond Head(金刚山) which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.

B 51. Hawaii is a name .
A. given by people who like to travel
B. attracting a lot of travelers
C. with an interesting story behind it
D. talked about by both the Japanese and Americans
C 52. The most magic thing on these beautiful islands is .

C. Tall hotels D. The Diamond Head Mountain
B 54. The last paragraph suggests .
A. the scenery nowadays is different from the original beauty
B. it is not quite easy to see the original beauty, because some of the scenery almost hidden by tall hotels
C. the scenery nowadays is unchanged
D. it is difficult to see the original beauty because things have completely changed in the last 25 years
