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.Albert Einstein once attributed (把......归因于) the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he "never went to school, and therefore kept the rare gift of thinking freely". There is undoubtedly a truth in Einstein"s observation; many artists and geniuses seem to view their schooling as a disadvantage. But such a truth is not a criticism of schools. It is the function of schools to civilize, not to train explorers. The explorer is always a lonely person whether his or her pioneering be in art, music, science, or technology. The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with tile genius what William James described as the gift for thinking in an unusual way. As schools teach set patterns, they tend to destroy creativity and genius. But if schools could somewhat exist only to cultivate genius, then society would break down. For the social order demands unity and widespread agreement, which r, re destructive to creativity and genius.

A．helped develop the creativity of a scientist

  Li Ming was born in Beijing in 1966 and settled down in Hong Kong with his family in 1970. He once studied in England. Soon after he came back to Hong Kong, he began his singing career(生涯). Li Ming has been successful in the field of singing. He won the prize of the Best New Singers in Hong Kong and has toured Asia and America including Singapore, Malaysia, USA, and Canada.

10.Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership(伙伴关系) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in parasites(寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
  Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.

Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ______.

A．they can eat its parasites
B．they depend on the sheep for existence
C．they enjoy travelling with the sheep
D．they find the position most comfortable

B．Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
C．Some plants depend on each other for food.

15.When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York from London for a one-year stay, they did not bring many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished (配备家具)apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting (出租；租用) of home furnishings (beds, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America"s fastest growing business.
  What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people, international businessmen, government officials, airline workers, young married couples -- the people whose jobs may force them to move frequently(频繁) from one city (or country ) to another. They saved the trouble and cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they can afford to buy.
  One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, like their rented furniture so much that they decide to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But they don"t like to tell people about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.
