Part II Reading Comprehension
Direction:
There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.
Passage 1
With a net worth of S 4.8 billion, he is the 26th richest man in America -- but he drives his own car (Ford Taurus), avoids using air conditioning at his residences as much as possible and once almost injured himself reaching for a dime beneath a revolving door.
A product of Southern military schools who lionizes (崇拜) Alexander the Great, he took as his third wife actress Jane Fonda, who made wartime propaganda (宣传) broadcasts for the North Vietnamese -- and they see eye to eye.
For many years he declared that he "hated the news," that it was "evil" bemuse it made people feel bad. But he founded CNN (Cable News Network), the most influential television news channel in the world, and he is now vice-chairman of the world's biggest media conglomerate (集团公司), Time Warner Inc.
In high school he lacked the hand-eye coordination to compete in sports. But he became famous for winning boat-sailing's American Cup, and bought a baseball team and steered it to victory in the 1995 World Series; he owns an .NBA basketball team and has a new NHL hockey franchise.
He wants to change the national anthem of the U.S. because it is a "war song," and makes public speeches regularly about world peace -- his main motivation is to give $1 billion to the United Nations. But he also believes that Christianity is a "religion for losers", and makes his greatest CNN profits when violence or war breaks out.
He is Robert Edward Turner III -- also known as Ted Turner -- a mass of contradictions.Dismissed as "the Mouth of the South" for his over-the-top public behavior, Ted Turner has often been seriously underestimated. A man of vision, he has transformed the television industry. With CNN he created not only a channel through which the world gets its news, but also a force so powerful it shapes 'the very events it covers.
For everyone else, that would have been enough. But not for Turner. By repeatedly reinventing himself, he has achieved what would take others many lifetimes. Like him or hate him, he is an American original.
31. What does the first paragraph show about Ted Turner?
A) He is very rich. C) He loves driving.
B) He is unpretentious. D) He hates air conditioning.
32.What attitude are the graduates of military schools most likely to hold toward the Vietnam War?
A) Speak for the North Vietnamese. C) Go to war courageously.
B) Support the US war policy. D) Be against the Vietnam War.
33. It can be inferred from the passage all of the following EXCEPT

35. The tone of the passage is __
A) objective B) favorable C) critical D) ironic
Passage 2
The U.S. Army Infantry (步兵）, which calls Fort Benning home, has fought in every major conflict involving the nation' s military. Yet developing a program for effective infantry training came neither quickly nor easily. The first movement to shape the country's foot soldiers into a super{or force came more than 200 years ago at the request of the general who became the first president of the United States.
Revolutionary forces commanded by General George Washington were barely surviving as they camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, during the winter of 1777. Washington realized that his soldiers, shivering in rags and tatters, needed better training if there were to be any hope of winning against the well-schooled British army. He sought advice from the respected Prussian (普鲁士) general, Baron Fredreich Wilhelm yon Steuben.
Von Steuben agreed to help, but recognized the huge challenge he faced to change the loose band of rebels into a disciplined, wall-organized force. As one observer at the time noted, the colonial army "was the finest body of troops he had ever seen out of step". Von Steuben's own assessment was that the Continental Army was a shame. "There was no uniformity of drill, no similarity of organization, and no teamwork of any kind", wrote Leroy Yarborogh, first lieutenant (中尉) of infantry, in an unpublished 1931 history of Fort Benning. No two companies drilled alike, and they all drilled poorly.
But von Steuben was resourceful and energetic and known for his persuasiveness. He established standard drill exercises and taught them patiently, but persistently to the troops. Once he saw progress, he chose those most adept at military formations to demonstrate for the rest to emulate. This practice of using the best troops to model techniques and tactics became fundamental in military, training, continuing long after the Revolutionary. War. For his efforts, yon Steuben is known as the "Father of the U.S. Infantry."
36. The first two paragraphs tell us
A) how yon Sterben became the general of the American infantry
B) how' the revolutionary forces came to be commanded by Washington
C) how Washington set about asking yon Sterben to train his soldiers
D) how' poorly organized the Americans were compared to the British army
37. It can be inferred from the passage that training programs for the American infantry started at

B) To establish rules and drill relentlessly.
C) To continue training without stop.
D) To show what little progress there may be.
Passage 3
One of the most daring deep-space missions NASA has ever launched is turning out to be one of the least publicized. The target is a large asteroid (小行星) named 1992KD, which orbits the sun millions of miles from Earth. But that destination is almost incidental to the performance of the spacecraft that will make the trip. Though it looks little different from countless other unmanned probes NASA has launched, the ship will be navigated by an electronic brain that has been likened to HAL, the independent-minded computer in the film 2001, and will move through space under power of a system that has long been the stuff of technological fantasies: an ion propulsion (离子推进) engine.
If all goes as planned, Deep Space 1, scheduled for launch later this month, will be the forerunner of a new' generation of spacecraft. While flight planners hope the ship will make some interesting observations about the target asteroid, including its composition and the structure of its surface, DS1 's primary assignment is to validate a host of new technologies NASA has always consideral too risky to try on a mission that may attract a great deal of public attention. Says Mar Rayman of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, DS1' s chief engineer, "We have an unproven propulsion system,poweredbyanunprovensolarpanel,commandedby anunprovennavigation system.
What is most remarkable about the spacecraft is how it gets from place to place. After being launched by an ordinary rocket, DS1 will be pushed through space by an engine that works by firing electrons into atoms of xenongas, stripping each of an electron and giving the atoms an electric charge -- ion/zing them. The ions are then accelerated through an electric field and emitted from the thrusters at 65,000 m. p. h. Despite that speed, the particles produce little thrust, comparable to the weight of a piece of paper.
41. What is special about NASA's planned deep-space mission regarding its publicity?
A) It is targeted at a large asteroid.
B) it is much less reported by the media.
C) It is the same as other unmanned probes.
D) It isn't certain whether it will be successful.
42. What is the primary, purpose of the DS1 mission?
A) Testing new technologies for future spacecraft.
B) Calculating risks for the benefit of other missions.
C) Studying the surface of a large asteroid.
D) Proving a new' generation of spacecraft.
43. Once launched, whether the spacecraft will reach its destination is incidental to the performance of all the following EXCEPT __
A) the self-navigation system C) the solar cells
B) the ion-powered engine D) the flight planners
44. How does the DS1 leave the earth's orbit?
A.) By its special propulsion engine.
B) By a conventional rocket engine.
C) By firing electrons into the atoms of xenon gas.
D) By accelerating through an electric field.
45. Which of the following is NOT true according to this article?
A) The author likens the DSI' s navigation system to an electronic brain.
B) The DS1 is the first of a new breed of spacecraft.
C) The DS1 chief engineer has nothing to lose in such a mission.
D) The DS1' s power system used to be the dream of scientists.
Passage 4
A lot of recent papers point out how talking with your hands can unlock what Krauss calls "lexical (词汇的) memory". One study, for instance, finds that speakers gesture more when they try to define words that have a strong spatial (空间的) component -- like "under" or "neighboring'' -- than when defining words that are more abstract, like "thought" or "evil". And doctors notice that stroke patients whose brain damage worsens their ability to name objects gesture more, "as if they are trying everything they can to come up with a word," says Krauss. Even people who don't think they're gesturing may be. Krauss attached electrodes to people's arms to measure the movements of their muscles -- a little clench (握拳) that doesn't blossom into a full gesture. Then he asked them to come up with words that fit a definition he supplied. "You get more muscle movement when they say a word like 'castanets(响板，一种乐器) ' which has an implied meaning of movement, than when they say an abstract word like 'mercy'", he finds.
If gesturing is like using a key to the door of lexical memory, then someone who can' t use his hands should have more trouble unlocking the door. That is just what a new study in the American Journal of Psychology finds. In the experiment, volunteers held onto a bar to keep their hands still; when Donna Frick-Horbury of Appalachian State University in North Carolina read them definitions "an ancient instrument used for calculations in eastern countries", the subjects more often failed to think of the word "abacus" or took longer to do it, than when they could gesture freely. "Many subjects would actually make motions of using an abacus before coming up with the word," says psychologist Robert Guttentag of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, who was observing the study.
46. Gestures can help speakers to recall __ in their memory.
A) words B) definitions C) meanings D) ideas
47. When do speakers use gestures more often?
A) When they are excited.
B) When they talk about something emotional.
C) When they say some spatial words.
D) When they say some abstract words.
48. Kranss attached electrodes to people's arms in order to __
A) observe the moments of their muscles
B) measure the damage degree of the brain
C) supply the meaning to a gesture
D) define the meaning of a word
49.What is the meaning of the word "blossom" in Para. i?
A) Bloom. B) Flower. C) Operate. D) Develop.
50. According to the passage, who can get more words from the "lexieal memory"?
A) People who eau memorize words very fast.B) People who gesture more often.
C) People who hold onto a bar. D) People who seldom gesture.
