Part III Reading comprehension (2*10=20 points)
Directions: Each of the passages below is followed by five questions. For each question there are four choices marked A. B. C. and D. Choose the best answer to each of the questions.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.
When Patricia Rochester decided to go back to school after ten years as a staff nurse at Toronto Western Hospital．her employer not only cheered her on. but also Paid her tuition and gave her a day off with pay every week to study．Throughout her years at the hospital，Rochester has also taken workshops on everything from coaching peers to career development——courses that she believes have helped her advance at work．“I’m now head of the mentoring(指导) program for new hires．students and staff nurses．”she says．“There’s a lot of room for personal improvement here．”
Perhaps as important，Rochester says her employer supports and values her work．‘‘If you put in overtime．”the nurse points Out．“you get your meals—they’11 order in pizza or Greek food or Chinese．”And if staffers feel stiff and stressed from too many hours on the ward．they can call for a flee15-minute shoulder-and-neck massage(按摩)or even sign up for an eight-week evening course on meditation skills and stress-relief．If that’s not enough，employees can take advantage of five family days a year that can be used if the kids come down with the flu or an aging parent needs ferrying to an important doctor’s appointment And they have access to a
range of perks(好处)such as special rates on hotel rooms，drugstore purchases，and scholarships for employees’ children．
  You might wonder how an organization can provide such resources and still survive．But University Health Network is one of a number of progressive employers in Canada that have discovered that investing in staff is good business．If such initiatives help companies cut down on turnover(人员更替)alone，they’re wellworthwhile．says Prem Benimadhu，a vice—president at the Conference Board of Canada．It costs anywhere frmn$3．300 to rehire support staff，an average$13，300 for technical staff and a whopping(巨资)$43，000 for an executive position，according to one study of Conference Board members.
  Innovative initiatives help companies attract talented employees，cut down on sick days (which cost Canadian businesses an estimated$17 billion a year or an average of$3，550 per Employee)and keep employees more interested in their work．With the substantial talent shortage
that already exists in Canada and the prospect of mass retirement over the next five years—as many as 50 or 60 percent in some sectors—Benimadhu says that intelligent employers are putting a renewed focus on the people who work for them．
46. When Rochester decided to go to school，her employer________________.

 A. persuaded her to change her mind
C. cheered her on．

  A. “shake off’
  B. “get rid of'’．
C. “get”．
D. ‘‘cure”．
Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage. 
Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hillside or other such obstruction(障碍物). Sound travels at the rate of about one fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval(间隔) between a sound and its reflection(the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.
During World War II the British used a practical application of this principle to detect(检测) German planes on their way to bomb London long before the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate(穿透) fog and clouds. The outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes(回生，回波) more than anything else that won the battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them(Their range of light, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar (雷达)was coined.
51. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the__________.
A. height of the hill
B. speed of sound
C. distance to the hill]
D. intensity (密度) of sound
52. The estimate is based on the_________.
A. direction of the hill’
B. accepted speed of sound
C. interval between sound and echo
D. both B and C
53. Practical application of this principle resulted in_________.
A. new electronic instruments for planes
B. a radio directing and ranging device
C. new radio sets for RAF bomber
D. an electronic detecting device
54. Radar enabled the English to__________.
A. detect German planes on their way to London
B. direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectively
C. confuse German bomber pilot
D. both A and B
55. The British used radio waves because they_
A. were more exact than sound waves
B. could not be detected
C. could penetrate fog and clouds
D. were easier to use than sound wave
