三、3.Reading Comprehension

Part III  Reading Comprehension
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.  Looking back on my childhood,I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although wewere all brought up in the same way,my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers andinsects.Unlike them,I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
  Before World War ? we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in,of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents,aunts,uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs,the farm animals,the local birds,and above all,the insects.
  I am a naturalist,not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.
  Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle,because it all seems to fit together.This hasresulted in my publishing 300 papers and books,which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
  But curiosity,a keen eye,a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist:one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is selfdiscipline,a quality I lack.A scientist requires not only selfdiscipline,but hard training,determination and a goal.A scientist,up to a certain point,can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two,you get the best of both worlds.The first paragraph tells us the author ______.

A.was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B.lost his hearing when he was a child
C.didn't like his brothers and sisters
D.was born to a naturalist's family

6.  Have you ever been startled by a loud noise or by someone appearing suddenly behind you on a dark night or by a snake in the grass? Do you remember the sudden, tight feeling in your chest, the way your heart started to pound, the way you seemed to breathe more rapidly? Such reactions occurred because you were frightened. Your brain sent a signal to the special gland in your body called the adrenal gland. Other parts of your body were involved, too, but the adrenal gland has a very special function.  
nbsp; The adrenal gland is located on top of your kidney. Since you have two kidneys, you also have two adrenal glands. Each adrenal gland is divided into two parts: a cortex and a medulla. The cortex forms the outer shell; the medulla forms the central core. Both the cortex and the medulla secrete hormones, but they have different functions. 
  The cortex produces more than forty different chemical compounds and hormones. All these things are essential to sustain life. The medulla secretes adrenalin (also called epinephrine, the hormone that prepares the body for emergencies).
  When you are suddenly faced with a dangerous or stressful situation, part of your brain instantly sends a signal to the adrenal gland, and all sorts of things begin to happen in your body. The medulla releases an extra amount of adrenalin into the bloodstream. The adrenalin is carried rapidly throughout the body, stimulating other glands and systems. In this passage, the author is mainly discussing the function of ______.

A.the human brain
B.glands and systems in the body
C.the cortex of the adrenal gland
D.the medulla of the adrenal gland

7. Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The adrenal gland is located on top of the kidney.
B．Each kidney is composed of two adrenal glands.
C．The medulla is inside the cortex.
D．The cortex and the medulla have different functions.

8. It is ______ that mainly helps you respond to a dangerous or stressful situation.

A．a signal sent by your brain
B．the special function of the adrenal gland
C．all stimulated parts of your body
D．All of these

9. What could be said about the adrenalin?

A．It is secreted by the kidneys into the bloodstream.
B．It is hormone that prepares the body for emergencies.
C．It is the only useful hormone produced in the body.
D．It is essential to sustain life.

16.  Bond had walked for only a few minutes when it suddenly occurred to him that he was being followed. There was no evidence for it except a slight headache and a little knowing the people near him but believed in his sixth sense and he at once stopped in front of the shop window he was passing and looked occasionally back along 46th Street. Nothing but a lot of miscellaneous people moving slowly on the sidewalks, mostly on the same side as himself, the side that was back from the sun. There was no sudden movement into a doorway, nobody wiping his face with a handkerchief to avoid recognition, nobody bending down to tie a shoelace.
  He went on and turned into the Avenue of the Americans, stopping in the first doorway, the entrance to a woman’s underwear store where a man in a blue suit with his back to him was examining the black lace paints on a particularly realistic-dummy（模型）.
  And then something grasped his arm and a voice came, “All right, Limey. Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch,” and he felt something press into his back just above the kidney.
  There was a tap as his fist was caught in the other man’s left hand, and at the same time as the contact telegraphed to Bond’s mind that there could have been no gun, there came the well remembered laugh and the lazy voice saying: “No good, James. The angles have got you.”
  Bond straightened himself slowly and for a moment he could only gaze into the smiling face of Felix Leiter with blank dis-belief, his built-up tension（紧张）slowly relaxing.
  “So you were doing a front tail, you bastard（赝品）,” he finally said.Bond realized that he was being followed by means of ______.

A.his common sense
B.his sense of humour
C.his sight
D.his sixth sense

D.no one wiped his face with a handkerchief

18.Why did Bond stop in the doorway to the underwear shop?

A.To sac who was following him.
B.To look at the man in the fun suit.
C.To avoid the sunshine.
D.To look at the underwear.

19.What did the man mean by saying "Take it easy unless you want lead for lunch"?

A.Put up your hands.
B.Don't move or I'll shoot you.
C.If you want to have lunch, you must listen to me.
D.You go first slowly and we'll have lunch together.

21.  A new kind of radar has been developed for spaceship travelers．A working laboratory mod-el of a new system of radar that makes useof a beam of light is said to be ten thousand timesmore accurate than the bestcomparable system of radar that used his radar system，known as laser—dopplerradar，can measurewith absolute precision speeds varyingfrom spaceship orbital injection(进入)velocities(速度)of five miles per second down to virtual stops--speeds of less thanone ten thousandth ofall inch per second．According to the scientists who are developing this system，such finemeas-ures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions．In a rendezvous(对接)betweentwo spaceships，or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station，a bumpcould rip open a ship’S skin，or anudge could knock the station out of its orbit．
   The light-beam radar，which operates at afrequency of trillions(百万兆)of cycles persecond，could easily detect and measure the movement of a vehicle edging upto a satellitespace station．A control system using SOprecise a signal as this would allow a huge vehicle todock at a space stationas lighfly as a feather．Laser-doppler radar ______.

1.Dear Jose,
  You have asked me for suggestions on how to get along in the United States. It is difficult to give advice, but I have found the following "do's" and "don'ts" helpful.
  As a rule, it isn't easy to find anyone to【21】in a big city. However, here are some suggestions.【22】, get or borrow【23】! Walk him several times a day! Americans love dogs and usually stop【24】to anyone with a dog.【25】, try to eat in a cafeteria. People generally【26】the same tables and will sometimes talk to you【27】they see that you are a【28】. Next, take your dirty clothes to a laundry! It takes about an hour to wash and dry, and many people become kind there. They often pass the time talking to the other customers.【29】ask for information from a woman, if you are a man, and from a man, if you are a woman! It seems to get【30】results for a reason I can't understand. Learn the【31】, "Please," "Thank you, "and "You're welcome" before you come and use them all the time! They usually work like magic.
  There are some things you【32】. Don't tell the truth when people ask "How are you?" They only【33】the answer to be "Fine." Never ask people their【34】—especially woman! Everyone wants to be young. Don't tell heavy people they are【35】. Tell them they are losing weight. Everyone here wants to be thin. Don't be late for appointment! When someone says six o'clock, be sure to be there by six. Americans respect time and expect everyone to be "on time".
  Above all, don't worry! Just follow my advice and bring a lot of money and you will get along. I hope I have been of some help to you.
                                Cordially yours,
                                  John
