三、3.Reading Comprehension

Part III  Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.The traffic lights were red when the motorist moved to them. To the surprise of this passenger the car did not slow down. Suddenly the passenger was thrown forward in the car as the driver stopped it at the last minute. The car stopped in time. "Sorry," said the driver, "I didn"t notice the light. I thought it was green until 1 saw that it was the top light which was shining. I am color blind, I can"t see red colors as you can."
  This strange story is quite true. In fact about ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way, women are luckier-only about one in two hundred is affected like this. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
  Color blindness can be dangerous. For example, when fighting in the woods at night soldiers use lights to signal to each other. A green light may mean "advance" and a red light may mean" Danger! keep back!" You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green !
  Birds and animals which hunt at night can not see colors. As far as we know, bats can not see colors at all--only light and dark shapes. The eyes of some insects are very strange. They have thousands of little "eyes" all joined together. Insects can see ultra-violet rays (紫外线) which are invisible to us, and some of them can even see X-rays. Indeed, scientists know that there are other colors around us which insects can see but we can not.
  One scientist experimented with some ants which normally keep their eggs in the dark. When he put their eggs in the sunlight, the ants quickly dragged them into a dark place. The eggs were then put in different colored rays of light, when the scientist shone an ultra-violet ray on the eggs, then ants quickly dragged them into the red light, thinking that it was dark- ness. Some insects have favourite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will.
  In a similar way human beings have favourite colors. Blue is often popular because it is the color of the cool sky and sea. Green is a peaceful color which makes us think of wide fields and forests. Yellow is the cheerful color of the sun. On the other hand, red is the Color
of blo, d and fire. It makes some people think of accident, danger and blood. Black is the col- or of night. In the dark we cannot see what is around us, so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and so not like black as a color. Perhaps that is why it is often the color of sadness. Yet we are lucky. We can see many beautiful colors by day, and we can see shapes but not color at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.

From the story at the beginning of the passage we know it is dangerous for a driver______.

A．to see red traffic lights
B．not to notice the traffic lights
C．to be color blind
D．not to see the red traffic lights

2.

A．color and its surprising effect
B．the eyes of likely things

D．color blindness and color preference

3.
If a soldier took a red light for a green light he probably would______.

A．be left behind alone
B．advance along
C．go with the others
D．stop

4.
The reason for some ants to keep their eggs in the dark is______.

A．that it is cooler there
B．that they do not like sunlight
C．not mentioned in the passage
D．that they like red light

6.The word "Okay" is known and used by millions of people all over the world. Still, language experts do not agree on where it came from.
  Some say it came from the Indian peoples. When Europeans first came to America they heard hundreds of different Indian languages. Many were will developed.
  One tribe especially had a well developed language. This was the Chocktaw tribe. They were farmers and fishermen whole lived in the rich Mississippi valley in what is now the state of Alabama. When problems arose, Chocktaw leaders discussed them with the tribal chief. They sat in a circle and listened to the wisdom of the chief.
  He heard the different proposals, often raising and lowering his head in agreement, and saying, "Okeh," meaning "it is so."
  The Indian languages have given many words to English. Twenty four of the American States almost half, have Indian names, Okalahoma, the Dakotas, Idaho, Wisconsin, Ohio and Tennessee, to name a few. And the names of many rivers, streams, mountains, cities and towns are Indian.
  However, there are many people who dispute the idea that "Okay" came from the In di ans. Some say the President Andrew Jackson first used the word "Okay." Others claim the word was invented by John Jacob Astor, a fur trader of the late 1700s who became one of the world"s richest men. Still others say a poor railroad clerk made up this word. His name was Obadiah Kelly and he put his initials(首写字母), O.K. on each package people gave him to ship by train.
  So it goes, each story sounds reasonable and official.
  But perhaps the most believable explanation is that the word "Okay" was invented by a political organization in the 1800s. Martin Van Buren was running for President. A group of people organized a club to support him. They called their political organization the "Okay Club. The letters "O" and "K" were taken from the name of Van Buren"s hometown, the place where he was born, old Kinderhook, New York.
  There is one thing about "Okay" that the experts do agree on: that the word is pure American and that it has spread to almost every country on earth.
  There is something about the word that appeals to peoples of every language. Yet, here in America it is used mostly in speech, not in serious writing. In recent time, "Okay" has been given an official place in the English language. But it will be a long time before Americans will officially accept two expressions that come from "Okay." There are "Oke" and "Okeydoke".
