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

There are many stereotypes(定型)about the character of people in various parts of the United States.In the Northeast and Midwest,people are said to be closed and private(私有的，秘密的).In the South and West,however,they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable(好客).Ask someone from St.Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is,and he or she will politely give you directions.A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you,might give you a rather unexpected explanation.A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat.A Texan just might take you to the place and treat you to lunch.

American stereotypes are abundant.New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful.Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth.People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing.These differences in character can be traced to different factors such as climate,living conditions,and histori-cal development.

When travelling from place to place,Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.

A.even Americans are surprised at the big differences among themselves B.there are many differences in character in different parts of the USA C.there are many reasons for the differences

Passage Two

John James Audubon was born in 1785 and died in 1851,but his name is still spoken every day.Audubon was a scientist who loved nature.He wanted to show people the impor-tance of nature in their lives.He was especially interested in birds,and painted many pic-tures of them.

In 1905,the National Audubon Society was formed by people who were also interested in birds and wanted to continue Audubon's nature studies.Even now,when people think of the Audubon Society,they usually think of birds.But the society does other things besides watching birds.

The members of the Society try to improve the environment as much as they can.They have helped pass many laws that protect birds and animals,and people,too.They taught young people how to protect their environment.They try to make their own communities cleaner,better places to live in.

John James Audubon knew that nature was important,he did not know how important his work would become.

Passage Three

England is not a big country:from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across.But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate(多样性的气候).People who have never visited England or who have visited only one part of it often makes the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country.Except for the sum-mer months of June to September,this is probably true of the north of England and the

Midlands(英格兰中部诸郡).In the south,however,the climate is much more pleasant.One result is that when people retire(退休)from the job in the north,they often prefer to move down to the south.

Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest,which consists of(is made up of)the counties(郡)of Devon and Cornwall,where palm trees,bamboo and many semi-tropical(亚热带)plants grow well.Flowers and vegetables ripen(成熟)as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere.Farmers in the areas gain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier.In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest.

This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England's most popular holiday areas,

44.The distance from the center of England to south coast is about

A.one hundred miles B.three hundred miles

C.one hundred and fifty miles D.six hundred miles

45.England is a country

A.with a cold and wet climate B.with a pleasant climate

C.with a surprising climate D.with climates of various kinds 46.According to the passage,

A.flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlier

B.farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhere C.people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowers

D.vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers 47.In the north of England and the Midland,

A.it is cold and wet all the year round B.the climate is pleasant as a whole

C.it is warm most of the time in a year D.only the summer is not cold and wet

Passage Four

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn't even lift her eyes from the book.Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down.While I watched,mouth open in surprise,Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold.She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop(拖把).She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up,Mum nodded and said,"Very dirty floors."

“Yes.I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them,”the nurse answered.She looked at Mum strangely and said,"But aren't you working late?"

Mum just pushed harder,each swipe(拖)of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall.I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book

After a long time Mum came back.Her eyes were shining.She quickly put the mop back and took my hand.As we turned to go out of the door,Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said,“Thank you.”

Outside,Mum told me,“Dagmar is fine.No fever.”

“You saw her,Mum?”

“Of course.I told her about the hospital rules,and she will not expect us until tomor-row.Dad will stop worrying as well.It's a fine hospital.But such floors!A mop is no good.They need a brush."

A.To give her some message about Dad.B.To make sure her room was clean.

Passage Five

Can animals be made to work for us?Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.

They point out that at a circus,for example,we may see elephants,monkeys,dogs and other animals doing quite skillful things.Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film.If you watch closely,you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward.The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get a reward for doing them.

Of course,as we know,dogs can be used to guard a house,and soldiers in both old and modern times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near.But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories.In Rus-sia,for example,pigeons which are birds with good eyesight,are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory.When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others,it touches a steel plate with its beak.This turns on a light to warn people in the factory.At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward.It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3000 to 4000 balls an hour.

Apes have been used in America in helping to make cars,and scientists believe that these large monkeys may be one day gather crops and even drive trains.

52.The trainer usually gives the animal a piece of candy or fruit

A.when it is hungry B.before it plays a trick

C.when it starts to play a trick D.after it has done the trick 53.The“reward”in the passage means

A.an honor given for doing something B.money paid for doing something

C.attention paid to good conduct D.something given in return for work 54.Many animals may be trained to do simple jobs if they know

A.who their trainers are

B.they will be praised by their trainers

C.they will get a reward

D.something dangerous will happen to them

55.Which of the following is NOT true?

A.Scientists consider apes may drive trains some day

B.Apes have worked in some factories

C.Apes may one day be used to gather crops

D.An ape is not a large monkey

I think TV commercial ads have both advantages and disadvantages.

To begin with,they are good because they can popularize the latest products.For ex-ample,if some people want to buy a digital camera,but they have no idea about which brand is the best and where to buy it.They may just find out relevant information about it by watching TV ads.But,of course,TV commercial ads are bad because some of them are misleading.For example,some ad about an English training course says“Come and join us.You can learn how to speak English within 40 minutes."

To conclude,people should be very much careful about TV commercial ads.
