四、Reading Comprehension（共 4 道试题，共 40 分。）
1.When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My mother didn't use to work
during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays, and she used to bring
home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued.
On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because England
were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the post
office straightaway after the match if England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went
back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she
wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio.
England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office. As we burst in, my mother was standing
behind the counter. She was waiting to sell us a very special limited edition with ENGLAND WINNERS
on each stamp. We were over the moon.
We still have it today, and perhaps it is worth a lot of money.

2.PAT the Dog
Did you know there are some very special dogs doing good work in our hospital wards? These are PAT
(Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognizing the benefits of pets more and
more–particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from
their own pets or have had to give up their pets.
Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital
reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadn't spoken for years, first stroked and played with a
visiting dog and then started talking to it.
Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort
and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital.
There are many other 'working dogs'. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the
blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every
month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered
dramatically since he got a dog, Tess, from the charity 'Dogs for the Disabled'. 'She helps me to get
dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she
passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. It's like having a really good friend. She
comes with me to hospital. Once, she saved my life. I am a diabetic and one day my blood sugar level
dropped, and when I was going into a coma she went next door and she alerted my neighbour. He gave
me an insulin injection.'
1). Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All dogs are allowed into the hospitals to visit the patients.
B. Only some special dogs can help the patients feel better.
C. Doctors and nurses doubt if pets can bring comfort to the patients.

3.PALO ALTO, California – “Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter
– even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said
last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut
the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds (0.9kg) less over a one-year
period than those who did not change their television diet.
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction
in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at
Stanford University.
“American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos
or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,”
Robinson said.
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco,
the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter
to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither
group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise.
“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be due to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of
the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.
1). The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ____________.
A. children will get fatter if they eat too much
B. children will get thinner if they eat less
C. children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV
D. children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV
满分：2得分：2

A. is more than four hours a day
B. is less than four hours a day
C. doubled in the last twenty years
D. is more than on any other activities
满分：2得分：2
3). The time the group of children in the study spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be <br/><br/>about ____________.
A. six hours
B. eight hours
C. three hours
D. one hour
满分：2得分：2
4). Which one of the following is right?
A. Children usually eat less while watching TV.
B. Children usually eat more while watching TV.
C. Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.
D. Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.
满分：2得分：2
5). Why can watching TV increase kids' weight according to the passage?

4.Every day, the news of the world is relayed to people by over 300 million copies of daily papers, over
400 million radio sets, and over 150 million television sets. Additional news is shown by motion pictures,
in theatres and cinemas all over the world. As more people learn what the important events of the day are,
fewer are still concerned exclusively with the events of their own household. As the English writer John
Donne put it, nearly four hundred years ago, “no man is an island.” This idea is more appropriate today
than it was when Donne lived. In short, wherever he lives, a man belongs to some society; and we are
becoming more and more aware that whatever happens in one particular society affects, somehow, the
life and destiny(命运) of all humanity.
Newspapers have been published in the modern world for about four hundred years. Most of the
newspapers printed today are read in Europe and North America. However, soon they may be read in
all parts of the world, thanks to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper
publishing.
Electronics and automation(电子和自动化)have made it possible to produce pictures and text far more
quickly than before. Therefore, the publishing of newspapers and magazines becomes more economical.
Furthermore, photo-copies can be sent over great distances now by means of television channels and
satellites such as Telstar. Thus, pictures can be brought to the public more quickly than previously.
1). People learn about what happens in the world through ____________.
A. newspapers and magazines
B. radio and television sets
C. electronics and automation
D. both A and B
满分：2得分：2
2). According to the passage, the expression "no man is an island" means that ____________.
A. no man lives on an island surrounded by water
B. every man is in some way alone
C. every man can live an independent life
D. every man belongs to some society
满分：2得分：2
3). The passage suggests that newspapers have been published for about ____________.
A. 100 years
B. 200 years
C. 300 years
D. 400 years
满分：2得分：2
4). According to the author, people in today's world ____________.
A. have become more isolated than people in Donne's times
B. are affected more by whatever happens in the other parts of the world
C. are concerned only with the events of their own household
D. only read newspapers in Europe and North America
满分：2得分：2
5). Today the publishing of newspapers and magazines is more economical because ____________.
A. more people are engaged in newspaper publishing
B. new inventions are changing the techniques of newspaper publishing
C. Telstar can send pictures to any part of the world
D. the competition in newspaper publishing is getting severe
