Reading Comprehension (Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.)

In your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry around and use anywhere. On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest that it isn’t the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dangerous. It is the yakking itself—or more precisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isn’t present—that makes. David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says “Your driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08,” which is the legal limit in most states of America.

Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations. In dense traffic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them. “Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting,” says Strayer. “Looking and seeing are not one and the same.” By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. “When a dangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause,” Strayer says.

Whether talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving. “So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving.” Strayer adds lastly.

16、According to the recent studies, which of the following makes driving dangerous?

· A.A cell phone dialing by the driver.

· B.The driver’s endless arm waving.

· C.The driver’s continuous cell phone talking.

· D.The absence of another phone speaker.

正确答案：

C

细节题。根据文章第一段第三句和第四句可知，最近的研究表明边开车边在电话里交谈的危险不在于拨号或者挥舞手臂的行为，而在于你与不在场的人不断交谈。选项C(司机不停地在电话里交谈)符合文章内容。选项A(司机拨打手机的行为)和选项B(司机不停地挥舞手臂的行为)均与文章内容不符。选项D(电话里交谈的另一个人不在场)文中未提及。故本题选C。

[参考译文]

在车里你可能有一个手机，或者一个可以随身携带、随地使用移动电话。在路上，你可能觉得一边开车一边开着免提打电话没什么不方便。但最近的研究表明边开车边在电话里交谈的危险不在于拨号或者挥舞手臂的行为，而在于你的喋喋不休，或者更确切地说，是与不在场的人不断交谈。犹他州的心理学家戴维·斯特莱尔说：“你边打电话边开车时的驾驶水平会下降，与血液酒精浓度为0.08时的水平相当，或者更糟。”这个浓度值是美国大多数州的法定上限。

利用驾驶训练模拟器，斯特莱尔和他的同事比较了110名司机在不同情况下的注意力水平和反应时间。在交通拥挤的情况下，使用手机的司机对突发危险的反应比其他司机慢了大约20%，而且前车刹车时他们撞上去的可能性是其他司机的两倍。“打电话的司机所获得的视觉信息不到不打电话的司机的一半，”斯特莱尔说，“看和看到是不一样的。”相比之下，研究人员发现，听收音机或与乘客交谈并不那么危险。“当危险情况出现时，司机和乘客会暂停谈话。”斯特莱尔说。

然而，不管是跟乘客交谈还是和电话里的人交谈，人们很少能回忆起开车时的谈话细节。“当和你的经纪人谈投资策略时，如果你们中有任何一方在开车，这对你的经济情况是很不利的。”斯特莱尔最后补充说。

17、Which of the following does Strayer want to stress most in paragraph 1?

· A.The driving performance may be weakened by a cell phone talking.

· B.The driving performance may be affected by a high blood alcohol level.

· C.Drivers are not to drive over the cell phone or after drinking.

· D.A cell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving.

正确答案：

D

推理题。文章第一段最后一句中提到了犹他州的心理学家戴维·斯特莱尔的观点，他认为边打电话边开车时的驾驶表现被削弱了，与血液酒精浓度为0.08时的水平相当，或者更糟。因此选项D(开车时打电话的危险不亚于酒后驾车)符合文意。选项A(手机通话会降低驾驶性能)和选项B(血液酒精含量高会影响驾驶性能)是客观事实，文中对这两种情况的比较主要是为了强调开车时手机通话的危险性。选项C(司机们打电话时或酒后不能驾车)不是斯特莱尔想要强调的内容。故本题选D。

18、The experiment shows all the following EXCEPT that _________.

· A.the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visual information

· B.the cell phone drivers are twice as likely to hit the front cars

· C.the cell phone drivers’ response to sudden dangers is slower

· D.the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experiments

正确答案：

D

细节题。文章第二段提到了斯特莱尔和他的同事做的一个实验，比较了110名司机在不同情况下的注意力水平和反应时间。选项A(打电话的司机获得的视觉信息不到不打电话的司机的一半)、选项B(打电话的司机撞到前面车辆的几率是其他司机的两倍)和选项C(打电话的司机对危险情况的反应更慢)均与原文内容相符。选项D(这110名司机不愿意参加实验)文中未提及。故本题选D。

19、Strayer discourages drivers from talking about business on cell phones while driving because _________.

· A.they tend to forget the details of a conversation

· B.both the driver and his agent happen to be driving

· C.it might not be good for the driver’s memory

· D.the other passengers would overhear the conversation

正确答案：

A

细节题。根据文章最后一段可知，不管是跟乘客交谈还是和电话里的人交谈，人们很少能回忆起开车时的谈话细节。接着斯特莱尔举了一个例子，如果和经纪人谈投资策略时，其中任何一方在开车，都对你的经济状况不利。选项A(他们往往会忘记谈话的细节)符合文章内容。选项B(司机和他的经纪人正好都在开车)没说到重点，选项C(这样对司机的记忆力不好)和选项D(其他乘客会听到谈话内容)文中均未提及。故本题选A。

20、It can be inferred that the author’s attitude toward cell phone yakking is _________.

· A.approving

· B.disapproving

· C.encouraging

· D.indifferent

正确答案：

B

态度题。文章第一段提出，开车打电话真正的危险在于与不在场的人不断交谈。接着用斯特莱尔的实验证明开车时打电话的危害。所以作者对打电话时的喋喋不休持反对态度。故本题选B。

The most famous collections of fairy tales are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didn’t think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition (版本) was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children.

But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm complained there wasn’t a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didn’t add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing comments wherever he could.

The Grimms’ Fairy Tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In Hanseland Grete, an old woman is burned to death in an oven, and in Little Red Riding Hood a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm retained the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cindrealla forgives her sisters at the end. It’s only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck (啄) out their eyes.

Why, then, have the Grimms’ fairy tales become classic of children’s literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesn’t know Cinderella’s story or Snow White’s?

One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms’ fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in children’s collections. But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.

21、Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children?

· A.To deal with readers’ complaints.

· B.To improve his financial situation.

· C.At the request of his publisher.

· D.To preserve the ancient stories in print.

正确答案：

B

推理题。文章第二段前四句提到，格林兄弟需要钱，威廉又一次抱怨说他的房子里没有一张完好的椅子，所以他决定接受读者的建议，开始着手写一本适合孩子们读的书。选项B(为了改善他的经济状况)符合文章内容。选项A(为了平息读者的抱怨)、选项C(应出版商的要求)和选项D(为了保护已出版的古老故事)文中均未提及。故本题选B。

[参考译文]

最著名的童话集是雅各布·格林和威廉·格林兄弟俩写的童话集。格林兄弟在1812年出版了他们的第一本童话集。他们并不觉得自己是在为孩子写作，他们认为他们是在保护即将消失的德国民间文化。他们的第一个版本是一本学术著作，仔细记录了这些口头故事。当他们的一些早期读者建议说这些故事可能对孩子们来说很有趣时，他们感到惊讶。

但是格林兄弟需要钱。他们与出版商做了一笔不划算的交易，第一本书没有得到多少报酬。有一次，威廉抱怨说，他的房子里没有一张可以坐上去而不用担心它会坏掉的椅子。于是他接受了读者的建议，开始着手写一本适合孩子们读的书。他挑选了几个故事，增加了内容，润色语言。他没有增加故事的寓意，但是却不失时机地加入了人物角色的判断和道德评论。

格林童话有一个特点，使它们不太适合孩子。很多童话都有暴力元素。在《海赛尔与格蕾特》里，一个老妇人被烧死在一个烤箱里;在《小红帽》里，一个小孩儿被狼吃掉了。威廉为孩子们改写这些故事时保留了这些暴力元素。事实上，他甚至自己加入了一些暴力情节。比如，在第一版童话里，辛德瑞拉最后原谅了她的姐姐们。而只在第二版，也就是为孩子们写的那一版里，她的鸟啄出了她们的眼睛。

那么，为什么格林童话成为了如此经典的儿童文学，以至于很难想象竟会有孩子不知道辛德瑞拉或者白雪公主的故事?

原因之一是只有一小部分故事流传至今。第一版格林童话有210个故事。到了1825年，就只剩下50个。而如今，只有十几个故事经常在儿童收藏本中重印。更深层次的原因是那些流传下来的都是神奇的冒险故事，能帮助孩子们应对日常生活中的困难，战胜恐惧。

22、When revising the fairy tales, Wilhelm did all of the following EXCEPT _________.

· A.adding character judgments

· B.making the tales much longer

· C.deleting the violent scenes

· D.polishing up the language

正确答案：

C

细节题。根据文章第二段最后两句和第三段第四句可知，选项A(加入了角色判断)、选项B(使故事内容更长)和选项D(润色语言)都是威廉在改写故事时所做的。选项C(删掉了暴力情节)与文中所述不符。故本题选C。

23、What does the expression “ramped it up” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

· A.Started.

· B.Allowed.

· C.Classified.

· D.Increased.

正确答案：

D

语义题。根据文章第三段最后两句可知，第一版的童话中，辛德瑞拉最后原谅了她的姐姐们，而第二版中她的鸟啄出了她姐姐们的眼睛。由此可知，第二版中威廉自己加入了暴力情节。选项D(增加)符合文意。故本题选D。

24、Which of the following statements about the Grimms’ fairy tales is true according to the passage?

· A.They were originally intended to be children’s stories.

· B.Generally speaking, the tales that have endured can help children deal with the challenges life bring to them.

· C.A large number of the tales made it to the modern age.

· D.They are less violent than the children’s stories being written today.

正确答案：

B

细节题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知，格林童话成为经典儿童文学更深层次的原因是那些流传下来的故事都是关于神奇冒险的，能帮助孩子们应对日常生活中的困难和战胜恐惧。选项B(总的来说，那些流传下来的故事能帮助孩子们处理生活带给他们的挑战)符合文意。根据文章第一段第三句和第四句可知，选项A(它们原本是儿童故事)错误。根据文章最后一段倒数第二句可知，选项C(大量的故事流传到了今天)错误。选项D(它们没有今天所写的儿童故事那么暴力)文中未提及。故本题选B。

25、What is the passage mainly concerned with?

· A.History of fairy tales.

· B.Ways to preserve the oral tradition.

· C.The Grimms’ fairy tales.

· D.Violence in fairy tales.

正确答案：

C

主旨题。文章开篇指出最著名的童话集就是格林童话。接着介绍了格林童话创作的初衷，以及变成儿童文学的原因和过程。最后介绍了格林童话的特点以及成为儿童文学经典的深层次的原因。选项C(格林童话)符合文意。选项A(童话的历史)、选项B(保护口头传统文化的方法)和选项D(童话中的暴力)均不是文章的主要内容。故本题选C。

As the school year kicks off, parents are once again struggling to cajole (哄骗) and, if need be, drag their exhausted teens out of bed. That image may make you laugh, but lack of sleep is no joke. Teenagers who don’t get enough rest have more learning, health, behavior and mood problems than students who get at least nine hours a night. Long-term lack of sleep is tied to heart disease, overweight, depression and a shortened life. Lack of sleep can be especially deadly for teens; car accidents are the leading cause of death among teenagers, and safety experts believe sleepy driving is a major factor.

Unfortunately, few teenagers get the sleep they need. In a survey of middle- and high-school students, University of Colorado researchers found that 82 percent said they woke up tired and unrefreshed, and more than half had trouble concentrating during the day at least once a week.

Blame multitasking for some of this. Many students are juggling after-school activities, homework and part-time jobs. Even when they manage to fulfill these obligations by a reasonable hour, television, the internet, video games, phone calls and text message to friends often keep them awake deep into the night. Taking soda and energy drinks late in the day and going to late-night parties on weekends add to sleep debt. Biology also works against teenagers’ sleep. Their body’s internal clock, which controls when a person starts to feel tired, shifts after puberty (青春期), making it hard for most teens to fall asleep before 11 pm. Class usually begins before 8:15 am, with many high schools starting at 7:15 am. To get to school on time, most teens have to get up by 6:30 am, guaranteeing they’ll be sleep-deprived during the week. Teens often sleep much later on weekends to catch up, making it even harder to fall asleep on Sunday night and wake up Monday morning. Playing catch-up on weekends also doesn’t help teens stay refreshed when they need it most: during the week at school.

Since the 1990s, middle and high school in more than two dozen states have experimented with later school start times. The results have been encouraging: more sleep, increased attendance, better grades and fewer driving accidents. But most school still start early, meaning teens have their work cut out for them if they want to get enough sleep.

26、According to the passage, poor sleep can be linked to all of the following EXCEPT _________.

· A.heart disease

· B.car accidents

· C.skin problems

· D.poor concentration

正确答案：

C

细节题。根据文章第一段最后两句可知，长期睡眠不足可能导致心脏病、超重、抑郁和寿命缩短，而疲劳驾驶是青少年车祸死亡的主要因素。选项A(心脏病)和选项B(交通事故)符合文章内容。由文章第二段最后一句可知，选项D(注意力不集中)符合文章内容。选项C(皮肤问题)文中未提及。故本题选C。

[参考译文]

随着新学期的开始，父母们又开始艰难地哄骗，甚至必要的时候把他们疲惫的孩子拉下床。这个场景可能会让你觉得很好笑，但是睡眠不足可不是开玩笑的。和那些每晚至少睡九个小时的学生相比，睡眠不足的学生在学习、健康、行为和情绪方面有更多的问题。心脏病、超重、抑郁和寿命缩短都与长期睡眠不足有关。睡眠不足对青少年来说尤其致命。车祸是青少年死亡的主要原因，安全专家认为疲劳驾驶是主要因素。

不幸的是，很少有青少年能得到他们所需要的睡眠。科罗拉多大学的研究人员在一项针对中学生和高中生的调查中发现，82%的人表示醒来时感觉很累，没有精神，超过一半的人每周至少有一次在白天难以集中注意力。

这其中的一部分归咎于要处理多种任务。很多学生要同时应付课外活动、家庭作业和兼职工作。即使他们能在合理的时间内完成这些任务，而电视、网络、电子游戏、电话和朋友间的短信往往让他们熬到深夜。在一天的晚些时候喝苏打水和功能饮料以及参加周末的深夜派对都会增加睡眠不足。生物钟对青少年的睡眠也有影响。他们体内控制什么时候开始感觉到累的生物钟，在青春期后就改变了，使大部分青少年很难在晚上11点之前入睡。学校一般在早上8点15分之前开始上课，很多高中7点15分开始上课。为了准时到校，很多青少年必须六点半起床，这必然使他们一周都睡眠不足。青少年为了补课，通常在周末睡得很晚，这使得周日晚上入睡和周一早上醒来变得更加困难。周末补课让学生在学校上课的一周中没有充沛的精力，而这个时间段是最需要保持清醒的。

自20世纪90年代以来，二十多个州的初中和高中都在尝试推迟开始上课的时间。结果是令人鼓舞的：学生有了更多的睡眠、出勤率更高、成绩更好，驾驶事故也少了。但大多数学校仍然很早就开始上课，这意味着如果青少年想要有足够的睡眠，他们的任务要减少。

A library is a place to find out about anything. In it there are mostly books, but there are also pictures, papers, magazines, maps and records. Special science and art shows, story hours, films, plays, and contests may also be held there.

Long ago a library had only books, and these were hard to get. Books could be written only by hand. There were so few that no one was allowed to take them out of the library. After the printing machine was invented, books could be made faster. This helped libraries get more books.

To borrow a book to take home today, a person just needs a library card. In many libraries a helper checks the book out. He or she stamps the card. The mark shows the date by which the book must be returned. If the book is returned late, the person must usually pay money, called a fine. In some libraries a computer has taken the place of stamping.

Books in a library are put into a certain order to help people find what they want. All books about animals may be placed together. Or all stories written by the same person may be placed together. A big set of cards lists all the library’s books in alphabetical (字母的) order. It is called the card catalog (目录). It tells where each of them can be found.

People who live far in the country may find it hard to get to a library. For these people there are bookmobiles, which are large trucks filled with books. Each truck travels to many places. All the people have to do is to meet the truck and choose the books they would like to read.

[参考译文]

图书馆是可以查找任何信息的地方。图书馆中大部分都是书，但是也有照片、报纸、杂志、地图和档案。特殊的科学和艺术展览、特别活动、电影、戏剧和比赛也可以在那里举行。

很久以前，图书馆里只有书，而且很难获得。书只能手写。书如此少以至于任何人都不准把它们带出图书馆。印刷机发明之后，图书生产变快了，图书馆也能得到更多的书。

如今要想从图书馆借书，人们只需要一张借书证。在许多图书馆里，由图书管理员办理借书手续。管理员会在借书证上盖章。这个标记显示还书的日期。如果图书还的晚了，借书人通常必须付钱，称为罚款。在一些图书馆里，电脑代替了盖印。

图书馆的图书都是按顺序放的，有助于人们找到自己需要的书。所有关于动物的书可能会放在一起。或者所有由同一个人写的小说放在一起。一大套卡片按字母顺序列出图书馆的所有图书，这叫做卡片目录，告诉人们在哪里可以找到目录上的书。

住在乡村的人可能会觉得去图书馆很难。对这些人来说，有流动图书馆，就是装满书的大卡车。每辆卡车都要去很多地方。人们所要做的就是找到卡车，然后选择他们想读的书。
