IV.  Reading Comprehension (Choose the best answer for each of the questions or unfinished statements after the reading passages.)
Passage 1
When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America's fastest growing businesses.
What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples - people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.
One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don't like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.
21. Which of the following has become one of America's fastest growing businesses? ______________
A.Selling home furnishings.                                                B.Renting furnished apartments.
C.Selling used furniture.                                                        D.Renting home furnishings.
22. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?_______________________
A.Because the furniture they get in this way is new.
B.Because it saves them a lot of money.
C.Because it saves them much trouble and money.
D.Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.
23. What can you infer from the passage?_____________________
A.The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.
B.Renting furniture is not popular in the couple's home town.
C.Only those who don't have enough money to rent furniture.
D.People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.
24. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?___________
A. Rent or Buy?                                                                B. A New Way of Getting Home Furnishings.
C. Furnished Apartments.                                                D. A New Idea.
25. Young people liked renting home furniture in that___________
A.They have less money.                                                B.They don't want to buy old furniture.
C.The new furniture is of good quality.
D.They don't have much money and don't want to buy the cheap furniture.
Passage 2
A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.
This attitude toward manual (体力的) labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously (豪华地) furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore,  the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional may talk about washing the car, digging in his flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.
26. From Para. 1, we know that in America _________.
A.people tend to have a high opinion of the self-made man
B.people can always rise to the top through their won efforts
C.college professors win great respect from common workers
D.people feel painful to mention their fathers as labors
27. According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because _________.
A.servants in America are hard to get                        B.she takes pride in what she can do herself
C.she can hardly afford servants                                D.It is easy to prepare a meal with canned food
28. The underlined expression "wait on table" in Para. 2 means "_________".
A.work in a furniture shop                                        B.keep accounts for a bar
C.wait to lay the table                                                D.serve customers in a restaurant
29. The author's attitude towards manual labor is _______.
A.positive                         B.negative                        C.humorous                        D.critical
30. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage? ________
A.A Respectable Self-made Family                        B.American Attitude toward Manual Labor
C.Characteristics of American Culture                        D.The Development of Manual Labor

V.Translation

IV.  Reading Comprehension (Choose the best answer for each of the questions or unfinished statements after the reading passages.)
Passage 1
When weather is hot, you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot, but it cannot make the weather very hot. Although the air over the earth becomes hot, the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth rises.
    Then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean, you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind, and the wind makes you feel cool.
    Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, "Why is the ocean full of salt?" scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and into the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, "What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get more salty every year." Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.
    We know a lot about our world. But there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.
21. The main idea of the passage is ______.
A. people feel cool when they are near a lake or an ocean
B. scientists can explain everything we want to know

A. the water is not so hot as the earth                                B. the earth is hot
C. the water is colder than the earth

23. Now scientists know ______.
A. what makes people feel cool near a lake or an ocean in summer
B. everything about the ocean
C. why the ocean does not get more and more salty
D. what happens to the salt in the ocean

Passage 2
A million tourists go to Barcelona every year. They want to see Antonio Gaude's church. This unusual church has a strange history. Gaude was born in Spain in 1852. He had to work and study at the same time. He often missed classes because he had to work, but one day he designed a very unusual show-case for an exhibition in Paris. People began to give him work. He designed houses, offices and gardens. They were all very unusual. He was soon rich and famous. Then a rich bookseller said, "Will you build a church for the poor people of Barcelona? I will pay. I will build schools and workshops, too. They will help the people." "I will do it," said Gaudi. He worked for forty years, but he could not finish the church. It was too big. He needed $10,000,000. He gave all his money to the church. He was poor again when he died in 1926, and only the front of the church was finished.

Passage 1
There was once an ant that was very thirsty.
    It ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any.
    Then suddenly, when the ant was almost ready to die of thirst, a large drop of water fell on it.
    The ant drank the water, which saved its life.
    The water was actually a tear from a young girl who was crying. Because of her sadness, the tear had magical qualities and suddenly the ant could speak the language of human beings.
    The ant looked up and saw the young girl sitting in front of a huge pile of seeds.
    "Why are you sad?" asked the ant.
    "I'm the prisoner of a giant." the girl told the ant. "He won't let me go until I've made three separate heaps of grain, barley(大麦)and rye(黑麦)out of this huge pile of seeds in which they are all mixed together."
    "That will take you a month!" the ant said, looking at the huge pile of seeds.
    "I know," the girl cried, "and if I haven't finished by tomorrow, the giant will eat me for his supper!"
    "Don't cry," the ant said, "my friends and I will help you."
    Soon thousands of ants were at work, separating the three kinds of seeds.

When he was sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a factory. Three years later he became tall and strong. So he was sent to Africa as a soldier. He stayed there for five years and got some money. Then he came back to England and bought a shop in a small town. No people in the town went to Africa except him.

Passage 2
What must you do when you receive a present for your birthday? You have to sit down and write a thank-you note. The words "Thank you" are very important. We have to use them on so many occasions. We say them when someone gives us a drink, helps us to pick up things, hands us a letter, lends us a book or gives us a gift.
    Another important word is "please". Many people forget to use it. It is rude to ask someone to do something without saying "please". We have to use it when we ask for something, too. It may be a book or a pencil, more rice or more sauce, help or advice. It may be in the classroom, at home, at the bus-stop or over the counter. We have to use "please" to make our request pleasant.
    We have to learn to say "sorry" too. When we have hurt someone's feeling, we will have to go up and say we are sorry. When we have told a lie and feel sorry, we will have to use the same word. When we have forgotten something or broken a promise, we will have to explain with that word, too. "Sorry" is a healing word. We can make people forget wrongs by using it sincerely.

Passage 2
Our child's behavior is greatly influenced by the way we react to what he has done. Our reactions help to determine whether our child will repeat his behavior or whether he will do something different. This statement is a very important part of a principle of behavioral psychology.
The principle states that a behavior is influenced or affected by how the environment ---- people, places and things ---- immediately responds to the behavior. Perhaps without realizing it, you have used this principle many times.
On the occasion when you told your child what a good boy he was after he cleaned up his room, you used the principle. When you sent your child to his room for fighting with his brother, you used the principle. When I gave Kim a cookie after she started to cry, I used the principle. In each of these examples, a particular behavior occurred first ---- cleaning up a room, fighting, and crying.
In addition, there was a reaction to each behavior ---- the child was praised, sent to his room, or given a cookie. By these actions, we have influenced the previous behaviors and have helped to determine whether those behaviors will occur again in the future.

IV.  Reading Comprehension (Choose the best answer for each of the questions or unfinished statements after the reading passages.)
Passage 1
In Europe many people died during the Second World War. As a result, at the end of the war there were many orphans there. A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children.
    His idea was simple. He wanted orphans to have a home, and he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents. Gmeiner asked people to give him some money. With this money he built the first SOS Children's Village at Imst, in Austria. It opened in 1949. This is how the SOS Children's Village started. The letters SOS stand for "Save Our Souls." This means "Please help us!". An SOS Children's Village gives help to orphans.
    Hermann Gmeiner's idea for helping orphans soon spread all over the world. By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children's Villages in the world. People in many countries give money to help the villages. Today the children from the first village are grown up. Now some of them work in other SOS Children's Villages.
    In SOS Villages orphans live in family groups. There are several houses in each village. The biggest villages have 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house. A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them. She gives the children a lot of love and kindness. She cooks for them and makes comfortable, happy home for them. The children go to school, they go out with their friends and they go into town.

Passage 2
The undersea world is very beautiful. Now more and more people want to dive in the water to find the secrets there. Scuba(戴水肺) diving is a new sport today. It can take you into a wonderful undersea world.
You will find many strange animals in the sea. Some are like a school bus. Many sea animals give out light in the dark and some have sharp teeth.
    During the day, there is enough light. Here, under the sea, everything is blue and green. When fish swim nearby, you can catch them with your hands. When you have bottles of air on your back, you can stay in deep water for a long time. However, you can't dive too deep. And you must be very careful when you dive in deep water.
    The deep sea is not an easy place to live in. It is cold, and it is dark, too. The deeper it is, the less sunlight there is. At about 3,000 feet, there is no light at all. It is very dark in the sea. Many fishes have no eyes. Some have big eyes. A few have eyes on one side.
    Besides the coldness and the darkness, deep-sea animals face a third danger - other animals.
    Animals eat! They must find food to eat. Many animals eat plants. However, some animals eat meat. This means these sea animals have two big jobs. They need to find animals as food, and they have to try not to become other animals' meal.
