Part II  Reading Comprehension
此部分共有4篇短文，每篇短文后有5个问题。请从每个问题后的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并用铅笔将答题卡上的相应字母涂黑。示例[A][B][C][D]

Passage One
   One hot night last July, when our new baby wouldn't or couldn't sleep, I tried everything I could think of: a warm bottle, songs, gentle rocking. Nothing would settle him. Guessing that I had s long night ahead of me, I brought a portable TV into his room, figuring that watching the late movie was as good a way as any to kill off the hours until dawn. To my surprise, as soon as the TV lit up, the baby quieted right down, his little eyes focused brightly on the tube. Not to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then walked softly out of the room, leaving him to watch the actors celebrate John Bellushi's forth-fifth birthday.
   My wife and I heard no more of the baby that night, and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV himself.
I found in my baby's behavior a metaphor（暗喻）for the new generation. My wife and I had given him some books to examine, but he merely spit（吐唾沫）upon them. When we read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools. We find that our students don't read, that they look down upon reading and scold those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV. After this experiment with the baby, I have reached a conclusion: "Let them watch it!" If television is that much more attractive to children than books, why should we fight it? Let them watch all they want!
21. Why did the author bring a TV set into his son's room?
A. To make his son stop crying
B. To spend the night by watching TV programs.
C. To leave it to his son.
D. To make his son go to sleep as soon as possible.

22. The baby's reaction to the TV program was ________.

A. unexpected
B. awful
C. exciting
D. calm


23. From the passage we know that author is ________.

A. a doctor
B. a writer
C. an editor
D. a teacher


24. According to the passage, which is true of the school children?
A. They prefer reading to watching TV.
B. They like watching TV only after school.
C. They would rather watch TV than read books.
D. They like their teachers who teach them reading.

25. What do you think is the author's attitude towards TV expressed in the last two sentences?

A. Favorable.
B. Serious.
C. Not favorable.
D. Not serious.


Passage Two
The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.
26. What is supposed to have happened in 1719?
A. Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.
B. Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.
C. The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.
D. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.

27. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.
A. a real person                            B. a book written by a little old woman
C. a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose          D. a translation from French

28. When Perrault published the first book in 1697, _______.
A. no story of the book had been known to people
B. some stories of the book were already well known
C. few people were interested in the stories of the book
D. stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular

29. The name used in the first book published in 1697 is supposed to have been _______
A. Mother Goose    B. Mere I’ Oye　    C. Elizabeth Vergoose     D. Charles Perrault

30. On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin of stories “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”?
A. They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose.
B. They were invented by Thomas Fleet.
C. They were invented by Charles Perrault.
D. Their writers are unknown.

Passage Three
In every school there is a "top" crowd that sets the pace, while the others follow their example. Let's say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear bright red sweaters(运动衫). Pretty soon everybody is wearing bright red sweaters. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that for some people bright red is rather unsuitable. The suitable can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at seventy miles an hour. Then the people who follow the example are endangering their very lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughter(屠宰).
   Now, it is likely that you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, it is likely that at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, "Gee, the crowd does it." Well, let the crowd do it, but don't do it yourself. Learn to say "No." Develop your own standards and your own judgments. If you know the crowd is planning something of which you disapprove, have the courage to bow out gracefully. You'll have the satisfaction of standing on your own two feet.
31. The main idea of this passage is that _________.
A. in every school there is a "top" crowd that sets pace
B. it is a mistake to follow the "top" crowd blindly
C. at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong

32. The author disapproves of wearing red sweaters if _________.

B. you can't afford them
C. you don't look good in red
D. it is against school regulations


33. People who follow the "top" crowd blindly _________.
A. are rebels (叛逆者) without a cause
B. have no respect for their parents
C. good for nothing
D. sometimes do things against their better judgment

34. The phrase "to bow out" may probably mean _________.

35. The author urges the reader to _________.

B. take the advice of his elders
C. be independent
D. do whatever he wants


Passage Four
   A four-year study conducted by the Infant (婴儿) Testing Center in San Francisco, California, suggests that babies feel more comfortable around other babies than with strange adults. According to the study, babies benefit by being with their fellow infants daily. Whereas a baby might show fear of an adult stranger, he is likely to smile and reach out for an unfamiliar infant. By the time babies are one year old, they have begun to form friendships of a sort.
   The above findings, based on observation of 100 babies aged three months to three years, might prove interesting to working parents who must find day care for their babies. Family care in a private home, with several babies together, is probably the ideal way to care for babies under three. Dr. Benjamin Spock, well-known pediatrician (儿科医生) and author of books about babies, supports the idea. He says that family day care is better in theory than hiring a housekeeper or a babysitter.
36. What would be a good title for the passage?

A. How to Test Infants
B. Parents and Children
C. Day Care for Babies
D. Choosing a Babysitter


37. A baby is likely to feel more at ease with _________.

A. a housekeeper
B. an infant
C. an adult stranger
D. teenage children


38. What does Dr. Benjamin Spock do?

A. He recommends babysitters.
B. He writes baby books.
C. He conducts studies on infants.
D. He directs a testing center.


39. According to the passage, how should working parents provide care for their babies?
A. Find a private home with other babies.
B. Take their babies with them to work.
C. Hire an adult to come into the home.
D. Search for a large nursery with a good reputation.

40. The author is talking to _________.

A. babies under three
B. researchers on infants
C. pediatricians
D. working parents
