Part II. Reading Comprehension (50 points)

Passage One

What is your favorite color? We are all sensitive to color. There are some colors we like a lot and some we don't like at all. Some colors comfort us, others excite us, some make us happy, and others ma ke us sad. People are affected by color more than they realize because color is tied to all aspects of our

lives.

Experts in colorogenic, the study of the language of color, believe that the colors we wear say a lot about us. Do you know why you select a shirt or dress of a certain color when you look through your c lothes in the morning? Colorogenic experts say that we unconsciously choose to wear certain colors in order to communicate our desires, emotions, and needs.

Colorogenic experts claim that our clothes send messages to others about our mood, personality, a nd desires. Pink expresses the peace and contentment of the wearer. People who often wear pink are s upposed to be warm and understanding. The message is that you would like to share your peace and ha ppiness with others. Red garments, on the other hand, indicate a high level of physical energy. People who wear red like to take life at a fast pace. Brown is the color of wealth, and it shows a need for indep endence and material security. Wearers of green have a love of nature and enjoy peaceful moments. Th ey often like to be left alone with their thoughts. Although colorogenic may be a recent area of study, a ssociating colors with emotions is not new. Colors have always been used to describe not only our feeli ngs but also our physical health and attudes. "Red with rage describes anger; in the pink means to be in good health; feeling blue is a sad way to feel; and "green with envy indicates a jealous attude.

In conclusion, the study of color can help us to understand ourselves and to improve our lives. It o ffers an alternative way to heal the body and spirit, and it can help us understand what others are trying to communicate.

Passage Two

Roger Sperry and Robert Einstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in 1 972. They discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different

work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right s ide controls our imagination; it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the ri ght side of our brain which makes daydreams.

Great artists and great scientists are similar: they both use the two sides of their brain. It is well-known that Albert Einstein, as a great scientist, also enjoyed art, playing the violin and sailing. Ei nstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and la nguage. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. He got ideas by usin g his imagination. He then used the left side of brain to use analysis, number and reason and then he us ed language to explain it.

Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, ana lysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming.

In fact, all of us need both sides of our brain. We need to use our imaginations to think of solution s to problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live in this world.

It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other but all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have. Nietzsche, the well-known philosopher, said that we add to our knowledge by making conscious the unconscious.

66. According to the passage,____of our brain controls our understanding of music.

A.the left side

B.the right side

C.both sides 

D. neither sides

67. Albert Einstein's example is used to support the idea that___ A. all scientific discoveries are based on imagination.

B.people should do nothing but daydream

C.using two sides of brain is important.

D.scientists are good at imagining what may happen

68. It is implied in the passage that school education

A.suggests using both sides of the brain

B.finds it very important to have daydreams

C.claims that analysis and reason are of no value 

D. fails to develop the right side of the brain

69. What did Nietzsche say about adding to the knowledge we have? A. Learning happens when we are not conscious.

B.Learning happens when we make unconscious decisions.

C.Learning happens when we become aware of things inside us.

D.Learning happens when we think about things logically.

70. The author's attitude toward using two sides of the brain is_____.

A.positive

B.neutral

C.illogical 

D. critical

Passage Three

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and ma gazines: a never-ending flood of words. In getting a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and co

mprehend quickly can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the

unfortunate fact is that most of us are poor readers. Most of us develop poor reading habits at an early a ge, and never get over them. The main problem lies in language itself- -words. Single words have little meaning until they are combined into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. Unfortunately, however, the u ntrained reader does not read groups of words. He reads one word at a time, often regressing to reread words or passages. Regression, or looking back over what you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which slows down the speed of reading is vocalization- -sounding each word ei ther orally or mentally as one reads.

To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics use a device called accelerator ( 加速器), which moves a bar down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate t han the reader finds comfortable, in order to stretch" him. The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, making word-by-word reading, regression and vocalization virtually impossible. At first, comprehensi on is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas, you will not only read faster, but your com prehension will improve. Many people have found their reading skills improved a lot after some trainin g.

71. According to the passage, today many people no longer read for

A.news

B.their work

C.information 

D. entertainment

72. Most people can't read and comprehend quickly mainly because

А. they don't read groups of words

B.they don't like to be trained in reading skills

C.they don't realize they have poor reading habits 

D. they don't understand words when put together

73. The following are all bad reading habits EXCEPT

A.regression

B.reading for ideas only

C.vocalization

D.word-by-word reading

74. How does an accelerator help people to read?

 A. It helps people read at a comfortable speed.

B.It makes people stretch their eyes when reading.

C.It forces people to overcome bad reading habits.

D.It lets people look back over what they have just read.

75. What does“ At first, comprehension is sacrificed for speed” (Para. 2, Sentence 4) mean?

A.The reader reads fast, but he understands everything he reads.

B.The reader reads slowly and he understands everything he reads.

C.The reader reads slowly, but he doesn't understand everything he reads.

D.The reader reads fast without understanding everything he reads.

Passage Four

When the dog named Judy saw the first sheep in her life, she did what came naturally. The four-ye ar-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her shee p and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of the cliff (?) and fell 100 feet, jumping off a rock into the sea.

Her owner Mike Holden was worried and called the coastguard of Cornwall, who appeared in sec onds. Six volunteers went down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her aliv e after a 90-minute search.

Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holi day upset, believing his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country.

For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken. Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve T regear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.

A birdwatcher, using a telescope, found the pet sitting on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a st udent from Leeds climbed down the cliff to pick up Judy.

The dog had been knocked unconscious ( 失 去 知 覺(jué)的) but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. The dog was very thin and hungry," Steve Tre gear said, It was a very lucky dog. She survived because of the fresh water around," he added.

II. Translation (20 points)

How should we react to disasters? Firstly, I think it is reasonable to face them. No one expects disast ers, but if they come, they are there, and we must accept them as they are. In this way, it might be easier for us to recover from the shock they bring to us. Secondly, we should concentrate on what we can do to relieve the bad effect of the disaster. We can't undo what is done, but we can make things a little better with our effort. Finally, in the face of disaster, we should help each ot her and try to make up for the losses caused by them.
