IV. Reading Comprehension (60 points)

Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Wild and farm birds often get a flu virus. Yet they usually are able to carry the virus without getting sick.

In 1997 six people indied of a different kind of bird flu virus. It is called the h-five-n-one virus. Thegovernment quickly ordered the killing of all farm birds there. That stopped the spread of h-five-n-one to people in.

Yet the virus bad already spread to other parts of. It was found in 16 countries between 2003 and 2006.

The h-five-n-one virus first appeared in. This raised many concerns about the spread of the disease. Scientists do not know exactly how bird flu came to. At first, they thought wild birds were to blame. Now, officials with the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization believe the main cause is trade in farm birds.

The bird flu virus is found in the waste and liquids of infected birds. The virus spreads when healthy birds or people touch sick birds or nay infected (被感染了的) part of sick birds. Right now, the virus is not spreading among person to person. But the virus could change and start spreading among people. Health officials believe that it is even more possible now that bird flu has spread in, and that is why international organizations are working so hard to stop its spread.

The best way to stop the spread of bird flu is to kill all the chickens in an area where bird flu has been discovered. More than 145 000 chickens have been killed insince bird fin was first found one year ago.

36. The passage focuses on ______.

A. wild and farm birds

A. to kill all the birds in an area where bird flu has been discovered

B. to kill all the chickens

C. to kill all the birds

40.

Passage Two

When we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.

People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else is not so clear. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become near sighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant (远处的) things clearly'.

People who are nearsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.

Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.

Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object out

of the other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background (背景) and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.

40. We should take good care of our eyes ______.

A. only when we cannot see perfectly

B. only when we can see well

C. even if we can see well

D. only when we realize how important our eyes are

41.

41. When things far away seem indistinct, one is probably ______.

A. near-sighted

B. far-sighted

C. astigmatic

D. suffering front cataracts

42.

42. Having two eyes, instead of one, is particularly useful for ______.

A. seeing at night

B. seeing objects far away

C. looking over a wide area

D. judging distances

43.

43. People who suffer from astigmatism

A. have a curable disease in their eyes

B. have eyes that are not exactly the right shape

C. have a difficulty that can be corrected by an operation

D. have an eye difficulty that cannot be corrected by glasses

44.

Passage Three

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. He knows what he wants and he just finds it and buys it, but cares little about the price. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it, the salesman quickly takes it out, and the business of trying it on follows at once. If all is well, the deal(买卖) can be and is often completed in less than five minutes, with hard any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.

For a man, small problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman tries to sell the customer something else—he offers the nearest he can to the thing asked for. He would say, "I know this jacket is not the style. you want, Sir, but would you like to try it on for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned." Few men have patience (耐心 ) with this treatment, and the usual answer is, "This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on."

Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect (方面) she does so quite differently. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind about what she wants, and she is only "having a look around". She is always open to what the salesman tells her, even to what her friends tell her. She will try on any number of things. What is most important in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Besides, most women have an excellent sense of value when they boy clothes. The), are always ready for the unexpected bargain (便宜货). Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one counter to another before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It takes time, but surely it is enjoyable to women shoppers. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.

44. When a man is buying clothes, ______.

A. he buys cheap things and does not care about the quality

B. he chooses things that others recommend

C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things

D. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too expensive

45.

45. What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?

A. They welcome suggestions from anyone.

B. They rarely consider buying cheap clothes.

C. They often buy things without giving the matter proper thought.

D. They listen to advice but never take it.

46.

46. In most cases women shoppers arc supposed to ______.

A. waste money on goods of poor quality

B. buy only the best clothes

C. be much more careful than men

D. think of the price of clothes and nothing else

47.

47. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?

A. The fact that men do not try clothes on in a shop.

B. Women bargain (讨价还价) for their clothes, but men do not.

C. Women stand in a shop, but men sit down.

D. The time they take to buy clothes.

48.

Passage Five

Hollywood (好莱坞) is a suburb of the city of Los Angeles (洛杉矶) in California.
