27、二、阅读理解 A Grammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or another, and it is most likely to strike during English or language arts classes. Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of possibilit
28、y or turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not! Grammarphobes, it’s time to put your fear behind you. Grammar isn't dreadful. Here is why. Let’s assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking
29、 with your friends. You probably also like e-mailing and instant-messaging. Well, what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, you are using grammar. You do this all the time without
30、even thinking. So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words are not right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get a wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results. Grammar helps us understand each other
31、 It is like a manual(手册)for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. They cannot do what you want if they are not put together correctly. What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what oth
32、ers’ words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages. Communicating is similar to playing cards. To make sense, we have to play the same game, but the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of them without havi
33、ng to open a book. 1. Grammarphobes refer to people who _________________. A. consider grammar to be boring B. are worried about grammar homework C. mind grammar too much in writing D. are afraid of making grammar mistakes 2. The underlined word “assembling” in Paragrah6 may mean _
34、 A. directing B. remembering C. bringing together D. looking for 3. What does playing cards have in common with communicating? A. Both need standards. B. Both can be interesting games. C. Both can be learned easily. D. Both can make sense for our life. 4. Wha
35、t might be the main idea of the passage? A. Forgetting grammar when writing. B. Grammar is not horrible. C. Improving grammar through writing. D. What is grammarphobia? B For the most part, schools are designed to produce people who fit into society, not people who set out to chan
36、ge it. However, schools, particularly universities, may not only spread culture; they may add to the cultural heritage(遗产). Today American society places a good deal of emphasis on the development of new knowledge, especially in the physical and biological sciences, medicine, and engineering. In rec
37、ent years, the nation’s leading universities have increasingly become research centers. An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors not by abilities as teachers, but as researchers. Promotions, salary increases, and other benefits have long been dependent on research and publi
38、cation(出版物). However, the most important is no longer publishing. To be successful these days, professors have to bring in money provided by government and private industry. Critics claim that academic success is most likely to come to those who have learned to “ignore” their teaching duties to purs
39、ue research activities. Defenders say that even when students themselves are not involved in research projects they benefit from such an emphasis on research. Major research universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also cooperated with industrial companies to develop techn
40、ology and products with commercial potential. With university-industry ties continuing to grow, debate has increased about the consequences for basic science, academic openness, the control of information, the direction of research, and the influence on students. 5. According to the passage, which
41、of the following is NOT emphasized by today’s American society? A. Physical science. B. Biological sciences. C. Engineering. D. Computer science. 6. In the present standard, a successful professor is one who can ______. A. teach well B. get financial support for research
42、 C. get the highest salary D. have many publications 7. Supporters of the present emphasis on research argue that ______. A. it involves more students in it B. it does good to students anyway C. it has a direct good effect on teaching D. it earns a lot of money for a university 8. The auth
43、or seems to be _______ the move of emphasis to research. A. totally against B. sorry to see C. in favor of D. neutral (中立)about C A new study has revealed that non-smokers who repeatedly breathe in others’ tobacco smoke are more likely to have some degree of hearing
44、loss. Researchers studied a total of 3307 adults aged between 20 and 69. The degree of hearing loss in each ear was assessed by testing the ability to hear pure tones over a range of frequencies from 500 Hz(low) to 8000Hz(high). Men, those who were older, and those with diabetes(糖尿病)were significan
45、tly more likely to have high frequency hearing loss. And this was true of those who were former smokers and those who had never smoked. But even after taking account of these factors, both former and passive smoking were associated with damaged hearing. Former smokers were significantly more likel
46、y to have damaged hearing. The prevalence(流行程度)of low to mid frequency hearing loss among this group was 14 percent. And almost half (over 46 percent) had high frequency hearing loss. Although the risk was not as strong among those who had never smoked, almost one in ten(8.6 percent) had low to mid
47、frequency hearing loss and one on four(26.6 percent) had high frequency hearing loss. And the stronger findings among former smokers suggested that continued passive smoking in this group, even at low levels, could continue the progression of high frequency hearing loss that began when they were a
48、ctive smokers, say the authors. “Further research is required to determine whether passive smoking increases the effect of noise exposure and aging on hearing,” they conclude. “If this finding is independently confirmed, then hearing loss can be added to the growing list of health consequences ass
49、ociated with exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke.” The study was published online in Tobacco Control. 9. Who are most likely to damage their hearing? A. Those who had never smoked. B. Former smokers with diabetes.HzHHz Hz C. Non-smokers who are older. D. Teenagers exposed to noise. 1
50、0. The author uses figures in Paragraph 3 to ____________. A. explain the hearing test results B. assess passive smoke exposure C. indicate the degree of damaged hearing D. measure the range of hearing frequency 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. We should try to avoid contact
