Part II Reading Comprehension (40 marks, 40 minutes)

Section A

Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A).

B), C) and D) You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.

Passage One

Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage;

An American researcher has developed a simple device to help stop snoring.(打鼾). The device restricts the movements of the tissue(器官组织)that causes the bad sound. Snoring is a common problem. It may prevent a person from getting enough sleep. It may also prevent enough oxygen from reaching heart and lungs during sleep. But for most people, snoring affects relations with another person who must sleep in the same room. Snoring happens when the sleeping person breathes with the mouth open. In the back of the mouth the tissues surrounding the entrance of the throat are soft. As the person breathes, the movement of the air around the soft tissues causes them to move

or vibrate. This tissue movement causes the sound we call snoring. A number of possible solutions have been proposed. Some devices keep the mouth shut. They force the patient to breathe only through the nose. A medical operation is also possible. Other devices catch the sound of snoring and then wake the patient. The new anti-snoring device was developed by a dentist（牙医）, George Wagner of the Indian University School of Dentistry. He developed a piece of plastic that fits up against the inside of the mouth. The device keeps the soft tissues from vibrating and making the snoring noise. It is worn only at night. Doctor Wagner said several patients report that the simple device has ended their snoring problem.

31. The passage mentions all the bad effects on the snorer EXCEPT__________.

A) disturbing his roommate B) his lack of enough sleep

C) harming his friendship D) his lack of enough oxygen

34. Which of the following statements about the new device is FALSE?

A) It is worn at night B) It has not been used by many people

C) It is made of plastic D) It was developed by a businessman

35. What is the most likely place where one can find the passage?

A) A novel B) A newspaper

C) A textbook D) A scientific journal

Passage Two

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the

business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. Slight problems may begin for a man when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman always tries to sell the customer something else---he offers the nearest he can to the article required.

Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious(费劲的) process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

36. When man buys clothes,____________.

A) they choose things the salesman recommends

B) they buy right size things without trying them on

C) they buy good quality things without a second consideration

D) they do not mind how much they have to pay for the right things

37. What is the man’s concern in terms of the fit of new clothes?

A) They do not worry whether a thing fits well or not

B) They make sure what fits before going shopping

C) They like their clothes to be bigger than the average size

D) They often have no particular size in mind before going to the shop

38. What does the passage tell us about women shopping for clothes?

A) They listen to advice but never take it

B) They often do not have a clear aim in mind

C) They rarely consider buying cheap clothes

D) They welcome suggestions from anyone around

39. It is implied in the passage that women__________.

A) like to buy cheap clothes

B) always buy good quality clothes regardless of the price

C) tend to waste money on clothes which they don’t really want

D) think more of the price of clothes than of their colors and sizes

40. Which of the following indicates the difference between men and women shoppers?

A) Men do not try clothes on while women do

B) Men do not spend as much time on buying

C) Women tend to be more talkative than men

D) Women buy what they need but men do not

Let me explain how this came about before you jump to any conclusions. In the first place, since this is a composition class, I expect my students to follow certain rules of formality（形式）.Unfortunately, students today dislike having to follow rules of any kind, especially those which they may feel to be unnecessary.

If you write an incomplete sentence, you’ll lose 10 points. If you give me two complete sentences as one without adequate punctuation(标点)，you’ll lose 15 points. I do not accept late papers. You will receive a zero for any theme(习作) which you fail to submit on time. I expect you to read each assignment. To make certain that you have read the assignment, I will give you a short unannounced quiz from time to time. This class meets on Mondays,

Wednesdays, and Fridays. You will have a total of six major tests throughout the semester. Your final grade will be based on an average of these major tests and eight written themes. If you have any questions at any time, you can see me on Tuesdays. My office is on the second floor of this building. Your assignment for Wednesday is to read Hemingway’s short story on Page 55. Friday will be the last class day of this week, so you can expect to write a short in-class theme for me then.

Section B

Directions: In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. React the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2 One of Nature's most exciting mysteries is how pigeons find their way home over vast distances.

Now German scientists believe they have discovered how the birds do it. Research has revealed that tiny iron structures in their beaks（鸟嘴） allow them to analyze the earth's magnetic field - much like a compass（罗盘）. Through the signals picked up, the birds can work out where they are and set out on the best course home.

As well as pigeons, many other birds display a remarkable ability to fly thousands of miles to return to a specific garden or tree year after year. Scientists are suggesting they may have similar iron- containing cells in their beaks.

In the past, experts have suggested the birds use the sun and stars to navigate, although in 2004 researchers found that many follow roads rather than their internal compass to plan their route. However scientists have long believed that they can in some way use the natural magnetism of the earth to navigate. The recent study by German scientists has revealed how this may be possible.

The research used X-rays to examine the upper beaks of pigeons. They found that within the skin lining are tiny iron containing particles（微粒） in nerve branches which are arranged in a 3D pattern. The team, led by Gerta Fleissner, concluded that this allows the birds to react to the external magnetic field of the planet and work out their precise location.

She pointed out that similar iron containing cells had been found in the beaks of robins, warblers and chickens so it may well turn out to be the way that other species also navigate.

Scientists are still discovering more about the incredible abilities of the pigeon.

Questions:

76. Pigeons find their way home by picking up signals from__________.

77. Like pigeons, other birds can return home, because their beaks have__________.

78. In 2004 some researchers found that many birds do not __________to plan their route.

79. The word “navigate” most probably means___________.

80. The German research team was led by___________.
