Ⅲ．Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When John Todd was six, both his parents died. A kind-hearted aunt in North Killingworth agreed to take John and give him a home. He was brought up by her and lived in her home until he left to study for ministry.
His aunt fell seriously ill and feared she was about to die. In great distress she wrote John a letter in which she asked him to tell her what death would be like.
Here is the letter he sent in reply:
It is now thirty-five years since I, as a little boy of six, was left quite alone in the world. You sent me word you would give me a home and be a kind mother to me. I have never forgotten the day when I made the long journey to your house. I can still recall my disappointment when, instead of coming for me yourself you sent your servant James to fetch me.
I well remember my tears and anxiety as I rode off to my new home. Night fell before we finished the journey, and as it grew dark I became lonely and afraid. “Do you think she’ll go to bed before we get there?” I asked James anxiously. “Oh, no, ” he said reassuringly. “She’ll stay up for you. When we get out of these woods you’ll see her candle shining in the window. ”
Presently we did ride out into the clearing, and there, sure enough, was your candle. I remember you were waiting at the door, that you put your arms close about me and that you lifted me — a tired little boy — down from the horse. You had a fire burning on the hearth, a hot supper waiting on the stove. After supper you took me to my new room, heard me say my prayers, and then sat beside me until I fell asleep.
You probably realized why I am recalling all this to your memory Some day soon God will send for you, to take you to a new home. Don’t fear the summons (召唤) , the strange journey, or the dark messenger of death who will fetch you. God can be trusted to do as much for you as you were kind enough to do for me so many years ago. At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting, and you will be safe in God’s care. I shall watch you and pray for you till you are out of sight, and then wait for the day when I shall make the journey myself and find you waiting at the end of the road to greet me.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
What happens when employees have access to their company’s financial information over an intranet (a netword inside the company)? The company grows.
There was widespread fear and worry in our company when we decided to put all our financial information, including salaries, on our wide area network (WAN) in 1987 and then on our intranet in the early ’90s. People feared our competitors would get the numbers and use them against us — to scare our customers, steal our employees, or attempt some other unimaginably horrible tricks. But that has never happened. And I don’t believe it will.
Back in 1968, when I started my company, now an $ 11-million engineering-design firm, out of my house in Blacksburg, Virginia, my wife did the books. Later an employee took them over. As we added employees here and there, we saw no reason to keep any secrets. We just left the books open wherever they were last used. It wasn’t until a business writer told me, “Oh that’s what we call open-book management, ” that I knew there was a name for what we did and that it was something unusual.
As we grew and opened five branch offices — three in Virginia, one in Tennessee, and one in North Carolina — this casual system was no longer possible. But we knew we wanted to continue the open style. I can’t say we’re always more profitable because of OBM; we have the same ups and downs as our competitors. And I can’t say we are always happier; we have the same quarrels as in other workplaces. But we do have a great deal of trust here, and our employees stick with us. When we have tough financial times, our 170 employees know that nobody ’s drawing off money from the company for private purposes and that they’ve got to make the pie bigger if they’re going to get a bigger price.
26．From the passage we can learn that_____________.
A．most business firms have adopted OBM
B．it was very unusual for business firms to make known their financial information
C．it is a good thing to let your competitors know your financial information
D．OBM can always result in greater profits
27．The management style of the company can be described as_____________.
A．open        B．close          C．competitive        D．trusty
28．In the sentence in the third paragraph “My wife did the books, ” the word “books” means_____________.
A．the books which the company owned
B．the books stored in the writer’s house in Blacksburg
C．records of money received and spent
D．sheets of paper bound together for writing
29．The author adopted “open-book management”_____________.
A．because of the increase of employees
B．according to the recommendation of a business writer
C．because of the big profits it would bring
D．without being aware of it
30．According to the author, the most outstanding benefit of his management is that his company_____________.
A．makes more profits than his competitors
B．has created a trusty atmosphere
C．makes his finance known to his employees
D．has made a bigger piece of the pie
【答案】26．B  27．A  28．C  29．D  30．B
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval (中世纪) worlds, while in the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only in the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace.
However, one should be cautious to assume that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud is a distraction to others. Examination of factors related to the historical development of silent reading reveals that it became the usual form of reading for most adult reading tasks mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character.
The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy (识字), and thus in the number of readers. As readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined, and thus there was some reduction in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers.
Towards the end of the last century there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully, and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed this argument still remains with us in education．However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialized readership on the other.
At the end of the last century students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use skills in reading them which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural, and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied.
31．“Reading to oneself” in the first paragraph means_____________.
A．reading aloud to oneself             B．reading aloud to oneself as well as to others
C．both silent reading and reading aloud to oneself    D．silent reading
32．From the first paragraph we can infer that_____
A．it was not until the fifteenth century that people began to know the difference between reading aloud and silent reading
B．scholars of the classical and medieval worlds could only read aloud
C．silent reading was not popular before the nineteenth century
D．silent reading was not accepted before the nineteenth century
33．Silent reading came about because_____________.
A．reading aloud could disturb others
B．the number of people who could read was increasing
C．people preferred to read in public
D．people were less interested in reading aloud
34．According to the context, the word “commonplace” in the first paragraph most probably describes something_____________.
A．that happens often, and therefore is not surprising
B．that does not happen often, and therefore is surprising
C．that is very surprising
D．that is very unusual
35．In the passage the author tr
