四、4.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.Old Japanese living alone can now hire a "family" for lunch and a few hours"pleasant talk. Just give them a ring and ask for, say, a daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. They will show up at your door, and greet you happily as if they hadn"t seen you for years.
  Some 15 couples have so far hired "families". "We have nearly 80 people on the waiting list."Said the president of the company that offers such services. "What is common about these senior citizens is that they are eager for human love. We are helping them make their dreams come true."
  Where once big families with three or more generations living together were common, now numbers are reducing fast. In cities there are very few indeed. Many old people seldom see their families. This may be because the children"s bosses have sent them to a distant city, even abroad, or just because busy family members can not find time to visit their parents.
  "We have seen many cases in which parent-children relations are not in a happy state," company president continues. "When a son finally visits his parents after a long while, it is often just to ask for money or for them to let him have their property(财产) early." Loneliness is not a one-way street. "One young mother came to us to ask about grandparents," he adds.
  The company is now developing into other fields. Their services include providing "employee" for businessmen to scold and "lovers" for young people unlucky in love. Company"s "lovers" for hire is not a service to be misunderstood, company president makes clear. "You shouldn"t think about our lover too romantically(浪漫地) ,"he said, "She"s there to act as an adviser on how to find a girlfriend."

7.Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They are found in India, Australia, Africa and America. The crocodile is an egg-producing animal. They spend most of their time lying around in the mud or the rivers. The female crocodiles bury their eggs under the mud. The crocodile"s long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming. It is also an excellent weapon, because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. The crocodile is very well protected against its enemies by the hard bony plates that cover most of its body, but because of the way its neck is formed, it can not turn its head from side to side and so it can only see in front of itself. The crocodile has its teeth cleaned by another crocodile, which can"t clean its own teeth for it can"t move its tongue up and down. With its rows of terrible points of teeth it seizes its food, which may be a fish, an animal or even a careless man, and then holds it below the water until it drown.
  The long-nosed crocodile is shy and timid and because of this, the people of West Africa sometimes catch it for food.
  Many, many centuries ago, there were crocodiles in England. We know this because we have found their bones buried far down in the earth on which London is built. But the Britain of today is too cold for them to live in.
