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.The strange close understanding between twins is a familiar enough phenomenon. Often they seem to understand each other and share each other" s emotions to such an extent that one suspects some kinds of thought communication.
  What is not so widely known is that this special relationship often acts as brake on twins" intellectual development. As they are partly isolated in their own private world, twins communicate less with adults than do other children. The verbal ability of a four-year-old twin is typically six months behind that of a non-twin. The problem can be particularly severe in a deprived home, a one-parent family for example, where there is little stimulation for children anyway.
  Such children, while capable of mutual comprehension in a private language, often remain in comprehensible to outsiders and thus at a severe educational disadvantage. The only solution to the problem, cruel though it may seem, is to separate the twins thus forcing them to acquire ordinary speech helped and guided by sympathetic parents and teachers.

Many people don" t know that ______.

A．twins understand each other very well
B．twins are slow to learn to talk
C．twins are unlikely to do less well at school than other children

3.
What" s the reason for twins to be at a disadvantage in their intellectual development?

A．They can only understand their own private language.
B．They communicate with outsiders less than non-twins.

D．Adults don" t like to talk with them.

4.

A．can not be solved because situation is very cruel
B．can be solved because twins will be separated

7.Clifford Stoll ran a computer system in Berkeley, California. As a system administrator, he kept a close eye on the records. One day, Stoll found something strange in the payment record. There was a 75 cents mistake. One of the thousands of users had used the system for 75 cents worth of time and not paid for it.
  It might sound like very little money to worry about. But that 75 cents was the first clue Stoll had to a much bigger problem--that a hacker had broken into Stoll" s computer system. Who was it? Stoll spent the next year trying to find out. During that time the hacker used the system in Berkeley as a starting point to break into military computer systems all over the United States.
  Stoll had to keep track of the hacker’s activities on the computer without the hacker" s knowing someone was watching him. Stoll even made up huge files of false information so the hacker would have lots to read. When the hacker spent long time reading, the telephone company was able to trace the lines. After a year, the hacker was traced back to his computer--in Germany. He was later caught by the German police.

13.The traditional American Thanksgiving Day celebration goes back to 1621. In that year a special feast was prepared in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The colonists who had settled there had left England because they were denied of religious freedom. They came to the new land and faced difficulties in coming across the ocean.
  The ship that carried them was called the Mayflower. The North Atlantic was difficult to travel. There were bad storms. They were assisted in learning to live in the land by the Indians who lived in the region. The Puritans, as they were called, had much to be thankful for. Their religious practices were no longer a source of criticism by the government. They learned to adjust their farming habits to the climate and soil.

25.Few Americans remain in one position or one place for a lifetime. We move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job else where, from the home where we raise our children to the home where we plan to live in retirement. With each move we are forever making new friends, who become part of our new life at that time.
