Part Ш Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are some 4 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
“Time is a problem for kids." states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries “learn time slowly" because “they don’t wear watches” and “parents don’ t really know how to teach them time.” The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can’ t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? Of course - it's the Flik Flak Made by a famous Swiss watch company.
The Flik Flak is being marked as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10.The Watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time. Of course: it merely "captures their imaginations" by presenting the "hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the“minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding “blue” minutes on the dial, while flak points to red hour numbers. The characters and the colors combined with parental help are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Perter Lipkin, the United Stated sales manager for the Flik Flak calls it “kid-proof”: if it gets dirty, you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine. The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the U.S. for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be on time.
26. From the news report we know that _
A. parents are patient when teaching children time
B. parents have little idea of how to teach children time .
C. children tend to learn time quickly
D. children enjoy wearing the Flik Flak watch.

B. a Flik Flak can help parents teach their children how to tell time
C. the Flik Flak can capture children’s imagination.
D. children usually have trouble telling time if they don't wear watches
28. The word “handicap” (Para. 1. Line 3) means___________
A. displease B. discouragement C. disappointment D. disadvantage
29. Flik and Flak in the passage stand for_________
A. a tall boy and a beautiful girl B. the minute hand the hour hand
C. the Swiss watch company D. the designers of the watch
30. The United States sales manager calls the new watch “kid-proof” because_________
A. it is designed to teach children to be on time
B. it proves to be effective in teaching children time
C. it is made so as not be easily damaged by children
D. it is the children's favorite watch

Task 2
Oceanography has been defined as " The application of all sciences to the study of the sea".
Before the 19th century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between
Certain Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant go to sea to further his work.
For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea. There was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question "What is at the bottom of the ocean?" had to answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engines had to know the depth profile of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to manufactured.
It was to Maury of the US Navy that Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which sounding were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused, much popular interest in his book-the Physical Geography of the Sea.
The cable was laid but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific options that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.
Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and 7ed to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.
31. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanography studies take On_____________
A. an academic aspect B. a military aspect
C. a business aspect D. an international aspect
32. It was _______ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.

33. The aim of the voyages which Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was___________
A) to make some sounding experiments in the oceans
B) 10 collect samples of sea plants and animals
C) to estimate the length of cable that was needed
D) to measure the depths of two oceans
34. “Defied” in Para 5. Line 3 probably means “________”.

Task 3
Directions: Read the following passage. After reading it,you should give brief answers the 5
questions (No. 36 to No. 40). The answer should be written after the corresponding numbers on
the Answer Sheet.
A strict vegetarian is a person who never in his life eats anything derived from animals. The main objection to vegetarianism on a long-term basis is the difficulty to getting enough protein ---the body-building element in food. If you have ever been without meat or other animal foods for some days or weeks (say, for religious reasons) you will have noticed that you tend to get physically rather weak. You are glad when the fast is over and you get your reward of an abundant meat meal.
Proteins are built up from approximately twenty food elements called “amino-acids", which are found more abundantly in animal protein than in vegetable protein. This means you have to eat a great deal more vegetable than animal food in order to get enough of these amino acids. A great deal of the vegetable food goes to waste in this process and from the physiological point of view there is not much to be said in favor of life-long vegetarianism
The economic side of the question, though, must be considered. Vegetable food is much cheaper than animal food. However, since only a small proportion of the vegetable protein is useful for body-building purposes, a consistent vegetarian, if he is to gain the necessary 70 grams of protein a day, has to consume a greater bulk of food than his digestive organs can comfortably deal with. In fairness, though, it must be pointed out that vegetarians claim they need far less than 70 grams of protein a day.
36. Why is the long-term vegetarianism objected to according to the passage?
________
37. The author’ s opinion of life-long vegetarianism is_____________________________
38. According to the passage, we feel weak when we________________________________
39. What is in favor of vegetarianism according to Para. 3?
