Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (60 points)
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
To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television or newspaper to get an expert weather forecast. But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses to make weather predictions.
There are many signs which can help you. For example, in fair weather the air pressure is generally high. The air is still and often full of dust. Faraway objects may look hazy. But when a storm is brewing, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things more clearly. Sailors took note of this long ago and came up with a saying "The farther the sight, the nearer the rain. "
Your sense of smell can also help you detect weather changes. Just before it rains, odors become stronger. This is because odors are repressed in a fair, high-pressure center. When a bad weather low moves in, air pressure lessens and odors are released.
You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force. An old saying describes it this way: "Sounds traveling far and wide, a storm day will betide. "
And don't scoff if your grandmother says she can feel a storm coming. It is commonly known that many people feel pains in their bones or in corns and bunions when the humidity rises, the pressure drops, and bad weather is on the way.
36. The topic of this passage could be
A. Expert Weather Forecast
B. Seeing Approaching Storms
C. Old Sayings about Weather
D. Using the Senses to Detect Weather Changes
37. According to the passage, as a storm approaches, faraway objects look
A. hazy because of dust in the air
B. clearer because air pressure is high
C. clearer because air pressure is dropping
D. distorted because of storm clouds
38. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that
A. the idea of feeling a coming storm is foolish
B. older people know a lot about weather
C. it is possible, but unlikely, that people feel aches when a storm is coming
D. it is definitely true that some people can feel coming weather changes
39. The underlined word "repressed'' in paragraph 3 is close to in meaning.
A. crush
B. restrict
C. lower
D. struggle
Passage Two
There are no inevitable outcomes of social class in child rearing. At the same time, there is no
question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that
children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they deal with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their children's motivations and more with their children's outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expected to take more initiative on the job, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control. They are also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physical punishment.
40. The word "explicit" means
A. vague
B. difficult
C. confusing
D. clearly defined
41. According to this passage, working-class parents are more likely than middle-class parents
to
A. use physical punishment for discipline
B. have children who finish college
C. have children who are out of control
D. show less love to their children
42. Middle-class parents will encourage their children to be
A. self-confident
B. reliable
C. curious
D. successful
43. This passage is about
A. the relation between social class of the parents and their children's rearing
B. the similarities between working class and middle class parents
C. the differences between children of working class and the ones of middle class
D. the relation between working class and middle class in their working places
Passage Three
Farm animals provide man with food and material for clothing, leather and other products. Some,
such as horses and oxen, provide transportation and power to pull maehinery. Livestock gaze on about 40 percent of the United States land area.
Cattle provide meat, hides and dairy products. Beef and dairy cattle account for about a third of
all farm income in the U.S. Farms in the Midwest and sprawling ranches in the West raise most of the country's beef cattle. The main Dairy Belt in the U.S. extends through the Northern states from New England to Minnesota. Eastern dairy farmers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa sell most of their milk to companies that make butter, cheese and evaporated milk.
Hogs grow rapidly and provide meat and materials used to make many products. Hogs thrive on
corn, and farmers in the Corn Belt of the Midwest raise more than two-thirds of U. S. hogs.
Sheep and goats supply man with meat, wool and skins for leather. They are hardy animals that
live well on poor grazing land.
Poultry includes chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and other birds raised for meat or eggs. Many
farmers keep small flocks of chickens to supply their families with eggs and meat. But some U. S. farmers specialize in raising large flocks of meat or egg-laying chickens. They use scientific breeding and feeding methods.
Some specialized farms raise mink and other animals for their fur, rabbits for meat, or silkworms for silk. Many farmers keep bees to get their honey and to help pollinate crops.
44. Farm animals in this passage are for
A. farming
B. leather only
C. natural balance
D. man's need
45. Where is the Corn Belt located?
A. Northeast.
B. Midwest.
C. South.
D. West.
46. Land which is too poor to sustain cattle might be used to raise
A. horses
B. oxen
C. sheep
D. dairy cows
47. Which animals in this passage are bred by scientific methods?
A. Poultry.
B. Geese.
C. Birds.
D. Chickens.
Passage Four
The crowd stirred and whispered in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat.
Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer's question. After the final tap, the horse paused, seemed to look around and stopped. The crowd went wild !
The horse's name was Clever Hans, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍)
act in the early 1900s, in Europe. When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner,
Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves. For example, if the answer was sixty-eight, Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof. Even more remarkable, the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse. A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man's!
It wasn't until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed. The owner had trained Clever
Hans to respond to slight signals. The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowd's reaction. Members of the audience would start involuntarily, or give some unconscious signal, when Hans reached the right answer. Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome(综合征), whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actions they like to see performed!
48. This passage is mainly about
A. animal intelligence
B. mathematical skills
C. Clever Hans
D. unconscious behavior
49. The Clever Hans syndrome is a danger to be avoided by
A. audience
B. researchers
C. veterinarians
D. mathematicians
50. The Clever Hans's real talent was
A. his sensitivity to crowd reaction
B. adding large sums
C. standing quietly on stage
D. obeying his owner
51. The first paragraph of this passage is
A. a first person account
B. a dramatic account
C. an understatement
D. a scientific finding
Passage Five
It takes a long time to grow a tree. How long? Well, pine trees are the quickest growing trees, but
still, they take twenty years to reach a size suitable for cutting and harvesting. An oak takes about sixty years to grow to a good size. A redwood may take hundreds of years.
Lumber companies, which make their money on trees, depend on those that grow quickly. Therefore, they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster. So far, the secret to fast growing trees seems to lie in " super-seeds. " These are seeds that are gathered from the quickest growing trees in a forest. One company searched 100,000 acres of trees and selected the seeds from just fifteen trees. These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees. Eventually, when these trees have grown, seeds will again be taken only from the fastest growing trees of crop. This process of artificial selection will yield, in the future, a super-tree that will grow in half the time it takes normal trees to develop.
Unfortunately, it takes a long time for a plan like this to reach its goal. The Weyerhauser Lumber
Corporation, which started its first collection of seed in 1958, is just now beginning to harvest the
super-seeds of the first generation of the faster growing trees.
52. This selection centers on
A. the life span of trees
B. the age of redwoods
C. making trees grow quickly
D. cutting trees for lumber
53. Trees that grow faster are developed by
A. planting many trees and fertilizing them
B. collecting seeds from strong, slow growing trees
C. selecting the seeds of the fastest growing trees
D. feeding them high-energy plant foods
54. Super-trees
A. will be a great benefit to lumber companies
B. make extra-good lumber for buildings
C. will probably be weak because of their fast growth
D. may be defenseless to many insects and diseases
55. The word "therefore" in paragraph 2 indicates that a
A. speech is beginning
B. conclusion follows
C. comparison is being made
D. metaphor is being used
V. Daily Conversation (15 points)
Directions: Pick out five appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the
following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
A. I prefer the leather one
B. What do you like
C. It looks warmer
D. clerk
E. It sounds nice
F. price tag
G. to try it on
H. Which one do you like better

Sue: I like the wool one better.
Anne: Really? Why?
Sue : 57
Anne: Well, 58 . It's more attractive than the wool one.
Sue: Hmm. There's no 59
Anne: Excuse me. How much is this jacket?
Clerk: It's $499. Would you like 60 ?
Anne: Oh, no. That's OK! But thank you anyway.
Clerk: You're welcome.

“以每小时50英里的速度行驶，没有哪个乘车的人会看出任何区别。而且我们的花费还会减少一些。你只要每年用洗涤剂清洗一次，除尘两次。我们可以省很多钱，因为不需要移植、修枝、除草、扫落叶。并且，我们还能保证每棵树木60年不褪色。这就是强有力的说明。”
Ⅳ．Reading Comprehension
第一篇
【答案】
36．D 37．C 38．D 39．B
【解析】
36．第二、三、四段分别从视觉、味觉和听觉讲了如何感知天气的变化。所以，选项D是正确的。
37．第二段，当气压下降时，你能很清楚地看到远处的物体。选项C是正确的。
38．最后一段。作者提到许多人都会在湿度变高的情况下感觉到天气的变化。根据这个例子可以说明作者认为许多人是能够感觉到天气变化的。选项D是正确的。
39．第三段。从该单词本身来看：re-前缀，表示反复；press压。反复地压意味着压抑、压制。Crush压碎、镇压。选项B是正确的。
【原文大意】
要想知道天气如何，大多数人都是直接听收音机、看电视或看报纸来获取专业的天气预报。如果你知道怎样去看，你可根据自己的感觉预知天气情况。
有许多迹象可以帮助你。例如，天气好时，气压通常比较高，空气宁静，多尘土，远处的物体是模糊的。但当风暴正在酝酿之时，气压下降，你通常能很清晰地看到物体。水手们很久以前就注意到这个现象了，并由此得出一个说法：远物近雨。
你的味党也可以帮助你判断天气的变化。雨来之际，气味很浓。这是因为，在晴朗、高压中心，气味被压抑的原因。当坏天气的低压流入，气压减小，气味也就释放出来。
你也能听到暴风雨来临的声音。声音撞击暴风雨的云层，再以倍增的力量反弹回到大地。
有一句老话可以解释这种现象：声音走得远而宽，暴风雨将来临。
如果你的祖母说她觉得暴风雨要来了你不要嘲笑。人们都知道，当湿气上升压力下降时，许多人的骨头、鸡眼和趾囊肿就会感觉疼痛。这说明坏天气就要来了。
第二篇
【答案】
40．D 41．A 42．C 43．A
【解析】
40．根据上下文，工人阶层的工作性质是被管理并且是要遵守规则的。那么，其规则肯定是明确的。选项D是正确的。
41．根据文章的说法，工人是被管理的对象，是听从别人的。所以，这也就形成了他们在管理自己的孩子时，也希望孩子只是执行自己的命令而已，比较容易动用体罚。选项A是正确的。
42．文章中说，中产阶层的父母亲因为自己的工作性质是开创性的，因此对其子女也就比较开放，希望他们充满好奇。选项C是正确的。
43．全文说的是关于家长的社会地位与其孩子培养的关系。文章的第一句就点明了主题。选项A是正确的。
【原文大意】
社会地位对小孩的培养没有必然的结果。可同时，社会地位又是影响对孩子的养育方法和将成为什么样的人的重要因素。在社会地位这个问题上，社会学家发现，父母会把自己的孩子划归到一定的社会行为和自己的工作环境的准则中。普通劳动阶层的人在工作中几乎是被管理并被期待着执行明确规则的人。如果他们不按照规定的去做，他们将会失去工作。他们的经历影响到他们与孩子的接触。其结果是，他们关心的不是孩子的动机，而是孩子与外界的一致性。因此，他们在管理孩子上常常采用肉体惩罚的方式。另一方面，中产阶级的父母，因为他们自己是那种希望在工作中有所创造的人，因此在对待孩子上也鼓励孩子发展好奇心，能够自我表达、自我控制。这些父母也很容易放弃特权或影响，不会使用肉体惩罚的方法。
第三篇
【答案】
44．D 45．B 46．C 47．D
【解析】
44．第一段。第一段所列举的牲畜所能做的都是为人类服务的。选项D是正确的。
45．第三段。种植玉米的区域在中西部。选项B是正确的。
46．第四段。羊是最承受艰苦的动物。它们可以在非常贫瘠的土地上生存。选项C是正确的。
47．倒数第二段，最后两句话。养鸡专业户科学喂养。选项D是正确的。
【原文大意】
农场的牲畜为人类提供食物和衣料、皮革以及其他产品。有些动物，如马和牛是拉机器的搬运工具。牲畜耕作美国陆地的40％。
牛提供肉类、皮革和奶制品。牛肉和牛奶大约占美国农场总收入的三分之一。中西部和西部的农场主喂养着整个国家的大部分的肉牛。美国的主要奶牛带从新英格兰贯穿北部各州到明尼苏达州。东部的农场主在明尼苏达州、威斯康星州和艾奥瓦州把自己大部分的牛奶卖给公司，制作成黄油、奶酪和无糖炼乳。
猪长得很快，提供肉类，还可提供生产其他许多产品的材料。猪以玉米为生。在中西部玉米带的农场主养了超过美国三分之二的猪。
羊为人类提供肉类、羊毛以及羊皮。羊是耐劳的动物，在贫瘠的土地上也能很好地生存。
家禽包括鸡、鸭、鹅、火鸡及其他鸟类。他们给人类提供肉类和蛋。许多农民家里养不多的鸡，以供家庭的蛋和肉的需要。但在美国，农场主会专门养成群的肉鸡或蛋鸡。他们用科学的方法喂养。
有些专业户养貂或其他动物为要它们的毛皮。养兔子是为了吃肉，养蚕是为蚕丝。许多农户养蜜蜂是为了蜂蜜或给庄稼授粉。．
第四篇
【答案】
48．C 49．B 50．A 51．B
【解析】
48．这篇文章讲了一匹名叫Clever Hans的马如何会做数学题。选项C是正确的。
49．最后一段。发现了这匹马会做算术的秘密后，科学家感觉很担心，他们拿来做实验的动物也会在他们无意识的暗示下做出他们希望的行为。这样所做出的结论肯定不会准确，所以是应当被科学家避免的。选项B是正确的。
50．第三段。马对观众的反应非常敏感，这也是它的主人对它训练的结果。选项A是正确的。
51．第一段。第一段叙述了马在舞台上的令人不可思议的算术表演。选项B是正确的。
【原文大意】
当马在舞台上慢慢地打着点时，人群以敬畏的情绪激动着、私语着。当马打的点数接近它的主人出的题的正确答案时，每个人都变得紧张起来，屏着呼吸。点完最后一点之后，马停住了，似乎看看周围，然后不动了。人群沸腾起来。
这匹马的名字叫Clever Hans，是一匹受过教育的马，同时它也是欧洲20世纪早期杂耍的标志。在它的主人给它出了复杂的算术题之后，它会用蹄子点出正确的答案。例如，如果答案是68，Hans就会用左蹄点6下，用右蹄点8下。更不可思议的是，马的主人在出好题后就离开了房间，因此，马和它的主人之间不可能有任何秘密的信号。仅仅是一匹马，却能完成人类的高技巧。
直到数年后，这个秘密才被发现。马的主人训练自己的马如何接收非常轻微的信号。所以，这匹马变得非常敏感以至于知道在何时可以根据观众的反应而停止敲点。当Hans点到正确答案时，观众会不自觉地、下意识地发出信号。现代科学家提出要小心Clever Hans综合征，由于这个，研究人员会无意识地给他们的动物研究对象发出信号，使动物表现出他们希望看到的行为。
第五篇
【答案】
52．C 53．C 54．A 55．B
【解析】
52．全文讲了如何才能使树木成长得快一点。Life span寿命。选项C是正确的。
53．第二段。文中提到超级种子。从很多树中选出15棵长得最快的树，获得它们的树种，再种，再从中找出长得最快的树的树种，再种。以此类推，就可获得成材快的树木了，所以是靠超级种子达到长得快这一目的的。选项C是正确的。
54．第一段提到木材公司是靠树木赚钱的。第二段提到某个木材公司实施着超级种子的计划。第三段提到某个木材公司已经获得了这个计划的第一代树木。由此可见，树木的快速成材肯定对木材公司有利。选项A是正确的。
55．第二段。Therefore因此。由于前面提到的原因，才有了后面的行为或决定。这个词的前面通常是原因，该词后则通常是结果。选项B是正确的。
【原文大意】
一棵树长成需要很长的时间，到底多长?松树算是成长最快的树，但它们也需要20年的时间才能长成适合砍伐或收获的大小。橡树则需要60年的时间才能成材。而红木则需要数百年的时间。
靠树赚钱的木材公司就是依赖那些成长速度快的树。因此，他们一直在寻找能让树快速成长的方法。到目前为止，能让树快速成长的秘密就在“超级种子”中。这些种子从大森林中成材快的树中选出来的。有个公司从l00 000英亩地的树中仅选出l5棵树。这两盎司重的种子足够种几百棵新树。最后，当这些树成材时，再从这些树里挑选出成材最快的树种。这种人工选择的过程会在将来生产出超级树。这种树的成材时问只是现在树的一半。
遗憾的是，这个计划需要很多年才能达到目的。Weyerhauser木材公司于1958年做了第一次的种子挑选，现在刚开始收获，这只是第一代快速成材的超级种子。
Ⅴ．Daily Conversation

Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (60 points)
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
To find out what the weather is going to be, most people go straight to the radio, television or newspaper to get an expert weather forecast. But if you know what to look for, you can use your own senses to make weather predictions.
There are many signs which can help you. For example, in fair weather the air pressure is generally high. The air is still and often full of dust. Faraway objects may look hazy. But when a storm is brewing, the pressure drops and you are often able to see things more clearly. Sailors took note of this long ago and came up with a saying "The farther the sight, the nearer the rain. "
Your sense of smell can also help you detect weather changes. Just before it rains, odors become stronger. This is because odors are repressed in a fair, high-pressure center. When a bad weather low moves in, air pressure lessens and odors are released.
You can also hear an approaching storm. Sounds bounce off heavy storm clouds and return to earth with increased force. An old saying describes it this way: "Sounds traveling far and wide, a storm day will betide. "
And don't scoff if your grandmother says she can feel a storm coming. It is commonly known that many people feel pains in their bones or in corns and bunions when the humidity rises, the pressure drops, and bad weather is on the way.
36. The topic of this passage could be
A. Expert Weather Forecast
B. Seeing Approaching Storms
C. Old Sayings about Weather
D. Using the Senses to Detect Weather Changes
37. According to the passage, as a storm approaches, faraway objects look
A. hazy because of dust in the air
B. clearer because air pressure is high
C. clearer because air pressure is dropping
D. distorted because of storm clouds
38. In the last paragraph, the writer implies that
A. the idea of feeling a coming storm is foolish
B. older people know a lot about weather
C. it is possible, but unlikely, that people feel aches when a storm is coming
D. it is definitely true that some people can feel coming weather changes
39. The underlined word "repressed'' in paragraph 3 is close to in meaning.
A. crush
B. restrict
C. lower
D. struggle
Passage Two
There are no inevitable outcomes of social class in child rearing. At the same time, there is no
question that social class is important factor in how children are raised and the kind of adults that
children become. Regarding social class, sociologists have found that parents socialize their children into the behaviors and norms of their work worlds. Members of the working class are closely supervised and are expected to follow explicit rules at their jobs. If they do not follow the precise rules and do as they are told, they will not keep their jobs. Their experience influences how they deal with their children. As a result, their concern is less with their children's motivations and more with their children's outward conformity. Thus they are more apt to use physical punishment in managing their children. On the other hand, middle-class parents, who are expected to take more initiative on the job, are more concerned that their children develop curiosity, self-expression, and self-control. They are also more likely to withdraw privileges or affection than to use physical punishment.
40. The word "explicit" means
A. vague
B. difficult
C. confusing
D. clearly defined
41. According to this passage, working-class parents are more likely than middle-class parents
to
A. use physical punishment for discipline
B. have children who finish college
C. have children who are out of control
D. show less love to their children
42. Middle-class parents will encourage their children to be
A. self-confident
B. reliable
C. curious
D. successful
43. This passage is about
A. the relation between social class of the parents and their children's rearing
B. the similarities between working class and middle class parents
C. the differences between children of working class and the ones of middle class
D. the relation between working class and middle class in their working places
Passage Three
Farm animals provide man with food and material for clothing, leather and other products. Some,
such as horses and oxen, provide transportation and power to pull maehinery. Livestock gaze on about 40 percent of the United States land area.
Cattle provide meat, hides and dairy products. Beef and dairy cattle account for about a third of
all farm income in the U.S. Farms in the Midwest and sprawling ranches in the West raise most of the country's beef cattle. The main Dairy Belt in the U.S. extends through the Northern states from New England to Minnesota. Eastern dairy farmers in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa sell most of their milk to companies that make butter, cheese and evaporated milk.
Hogs grow rapidly and provide meat and materials used to make many products. Hogs thrive on
corn, and farmers in the Corn Belt of the Midwest raise more than two-thirds of U. S. hogs.
Sheep and goats supply man with meat, wool and skins for leather. They are hardy animals that
live well on poor grazing land.
Poultry includes chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and other birds raised for meat or eggs. Many
farmers keep small flocks of chickens to supply their families with eggs and meat. But some U. S. farmers specialize in raising large flocks of meat or egg-laying chickens. They use scientific breeding and feeding methods.
Some specialized farms raise mink and other animals for their fur, rabbits for meat, or silkworms for silk. Many farmers keep bees to get their honey and to help pollinate crops.
44. Farm animals in this passage are for
A. farming
B. leather only
C. natural balance
D. man's need
45. Where is the Corn Belt located?
A. Northeast.
B. Midwest.
C. South.
D. West.
46. Land which is too poor to sustain cattle might be used to raise
A. horses
B. oxen
C. sheep
D. dairy cows
47. Which animals in this passage are bred by scientific methods?
A. Poultry.
B. Geese.
C. Birds.
D. Chickens.
Passage Four
The crowd stirred and whispered in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat.
Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer's question. After the final tap, the horse paused, seemed to look around and stopped. The crowd went wild !
The horse's name was Clever Hans, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍)
act in the early 1900s, in Europe. When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner,
Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves. For example, if the answer was sixty-eight, Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof. Even more remarkable, the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse. A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man's!
It wasn't until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed. The owner had trained Clever
Hans to respond to slight signals. The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowd's reaction. Members of the audience would start involuntarily, or give some unconscious signal, when Hans reached the right answer. Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome(综合征), whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actions they like to see performed!
48. This passage is mainly about
A. animal intelligence
B. mathematical skills
C. Clever Hans
D. unconscious behavior
49. The Clever Hans syndrome is a danger to be avoided by
A. audience
B. researchers
C. veterinarians
D. mathematicians
50. The Clever Hans's real talent was
A. his sensitivity to crowd reaction
B. adding large sums
C. standing quietly on stage
D. obeying his owner
51. The first paragraph of this passage is
A. a first person account
B. a dramatic account
C. an understatement
D. a scientific finding
Passage Five
It takes a long time to grow a tree. How long? Well, pine trees are the quickest growing trees, but
still, they take twenty years to reach a size suitable for cutting and harvesting. An oak takes about sixty years to grow to a good size. A redwood may take hundreds of years.
Lumber companies, which make their money on trees, depend on those that grow quickly. Therefore, they are always looking for methods to make trees grow faster. So far, the secret to fast growing trees seems to lie in " super-seeds. " These are seeds that are gathered from the quickest growing trees in a forest. One company searched 100,000 acres of trees and selected the seeds from just fifteen trees. These two ounces of seed were enough to plant several hundred new trees. Eventually, when these trees have grown, seeds will again be taken only from the fastest growing trees of crop. This process of artificial selection will yield, in the future, a super-tree that will grow in half the time it takes normal trees to develop.
Unfortunately, it takes a long time for a plan like this to reach its goal. The Weyerhauser Lumber
Corporation, which started its first collection of seed in 1958, is just now beginning to harvest the
super-seeds of the first generation of the faster growing trees.
52. This selection centers on
A. the life span of trees
B. the age of redwoods
C. making trees grow quickly
D. cutting trees for lumber
53. Trees that grow faster are developed by
A. planting many trees and fertilizing them
B. collecting seeds from strong, slow growing trees
C. selecting the seeds of the fastest growing trees
D. feeding them high-energy plant foods
54. Super-trees
A. will be a great benefit to lumber companies
B. make extra-good lumber for buildings
C. will probably be weak because of their fast growth
D. may be defenseless to many insects and diseases
55. The word "therefore" in paragraph 2 indicates that a
A. speech is beginning
B. conclusion follows
C. comparison is being made
D. metaphor is being used
V. Daily Conversation (15 points)
Directions: Pick out five appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the
following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

“以每小时50英里的速度行驶，没有哪个乘车的人会看出任何区别。而且我们的花费还会减少一些。你只要每年用洗涤剂清洗一次，除尘两次。我们可以省很多钱，因为不需要移植、修枝、除草、扫落叶。并且，我们还能保证每棵树木60年不褪色。这就是强有力的说明。”
Ⅳ．Reading Comprehension
第一篇
【答案】
36．D 37．C 38．D 39．B
【解析】

【原文大意】
要想知道天气如何，大多数人都是直接听收音机、看电视或看报纸来获取专业的天气预报。如果你知道怎样去看，你可根据自己的感觉预知天气情况。
有许多迹象可以帮助你。例如，天气好时，气压通常比较高，空气宁静，多尘土，远处的物体是模糊的。但当风暴正在酝酿之时，气压下降，你通常能很清晰地看到物体。水手们很久以前就注意到这个现象了，并由此得出一个说法：远物近雨。
你的味党也可以帮助你判断天气的变化。雨来之际，气味很浓。这是因为，在晴朗、高压中心，气味被压抑的原因。当坏天气的低压流入，气压减小，气味也就释放出来。
你也能听到暴风雨来临的声音。声音撞击暴风雨的云层，再以倍增的力量反弹回到大地。
有一句老话可以解释这种现象：声音走得远而宽，暴风雨将来临。
如果你的祖母说她觉得暴风雨要来了你不要嘲笑。人们都知道，当湿气上升压力下降时，许多人的骨头、鸡眼和趾囊肿就会感觉疼痛。这说明坏天气就要来了。
第二篇
【答案】
40．D 41．A 42．C 43．A
【解析】
40．根据上下文，工人阶层的工作性质是被管理并且是要遵守规则的。那么，其规则肯定是明确的。选项D是正确的。
41．根据文章的说法，工人是被管理的对象，是听从别人的。所以，这也就形成了他们在管理自己的孩子时，也希望孩子只是执行自己的命令而已，比较容易动用体罚。选项A是正确的。
42．文章中说，中产阶层的父母亲因为自己的工作性质是开创性的，因此对其子女也就比较开放，希望他们充满好奇。选项C是正确的。
43．全文说的是关于家长的社会地位与其孩子培养的关系。文章的第一句就点明了主题。选项A是正确的。
【原文大意】
社会地位对小孩的培养没有必然的结果。可同时，社会地位又是影响对孩子的养育方法和将成为什么样的人的重要因素。在社会地位这个问题上，社会学家发现，父母会把自己的孩子划归到一定的社会行为和自己的工作环境的准则中。普通劳动阶层的人在工作中几乎是被管理并被期待着执行明确规则的人。如果他们不按照规定的去做，他们将会失去工作。他们的经历影响到他们与孩子的接触。其结果是，他们关心的不是孩子的动机，而是孩子与外界的一致性。因此，他们在管理孩子上常常采用肉体惩罚的方式。另一方面，中产阶级的父母，因为他们自己是那种希望在工作中有所创造的人，因此在对待孩子上也鼓励孩子发展好奇心，能够自我表达、自我控制。这些父母也很容易放弃特权或影响，不会使用肉体惩罚的方法。
第三篇
【答案】
44．D 45．B 46．C 47．D
【解析】
44．第一段。第一段所列举的牲畜所能做的都是为人类服务的。选项D是正确的。
45．第三段。种植玉米的区域在中西部。选项B是正确的。
46．第四段。羊是最承受艰苦的动物。它们可以在非常贫瘠的土地上生存。选项C是正确的。
47．倒数第二段，最后两句话。养鸡专业户科学喂养。选项D是正确的。
【原文大意】
农场的牲畜为人类提供食物和衣料、皮革以及其他产品。有些动物，如马和牛是拉机器的搬运工具。牲畜耕作美国陆地的40％。
牛提供肉类、皮革和奶制品。牛肉和牛奶大约占美国农场总收入的三分之一。中西部和西部的农场主喂养着整个国家的大部分的肉牛。美国的主要奶牛带从新英格兰贯穿北部各州到明尼苏达州。东部的农场主在明尼苏达州、威斯康星州和艾奥瓦州把自己大部分的牛奶卖给公司，制作成黄油、奶酪和无糖炼乳。
猪长得很快，提供肉类，还可提供生产其他许多产品的材料。猪以玉米为生。在中西部玉米带的农场主养了超过美国三分之二的猪。
羊为人类提供肉类、羊毛以及羊皮。羊是耐劳的动物，在贫瘠的土地上也能很好地生存。
家禽包括鸡、鸭、鹅、火鸡及其他鸟类。他们给人类提供肉类和蛋。许多农民家里养不多的鸡，以供家庭的蛋和肉的需要。但在美国，农场主会专门养成群的肉鸡或蛋鸡。他们用科学的方法喂养。
有些专业户养貂或其他动物为要它们的毛皮。养兔子是为了吃肉，养蚕是为蚕丝。许多农户养蜜蜂是为了蜂蜜或给庄稼授粉。．
第四篇
【答案】
48．C 49．B 50．A 51．B
【解析】
48．这篇文章讲了一匹名叫Clever Hans的马如何会做数学题。选项C是正确的。
49．最后一段。发现了这匹马会做算术的秘密后，科学家感觉很担心，他们拿来做实验的动物也会在他们无意识的暗示下做出他们希望的行为。这样所做出的结论肯定不会准确，所以是应当被科学家避免的。选项B是正确的。
50．第三段。马对观众的反应非常敏感，这也是它的主人对它训练的结果。选项A是正确的。
51．第一段。第一段叙述了马在舞台上的令人不可思议的算术表演。选项B是正确的。
【原文大意】
当马在舞台上慢慢地打着点时，人群以敬畏的情绪激动着、私语着。当马打的点数接近它的主人出的题的正确答案时，每个人都变得紧张起来，屏着呼吸。点完最后一点之后，马停住了，似乎看看周围，然后不动了。人群沸腾起来。
这匹马的名字叫Clever Hans，是一匹受过教育的马，同时它也是欧洲20世纪早期杂耍的标志。在它的主人给它出了复杂的算术题之后，它会用蹄子点出正确的答案。例如，如果答案是68，Hans就会用左蹄点6下，用右蹄点8下。更不可思议的是，马的主人在出好题后就离开了房间，因此，马和它的主人之间不可能有任何秘密的信号。仅仅是一匹马，却能完成人类的高技巧。
直到数年后，这个秘密才被发现。马的主人训练自己的马如何接收非常轻微的信号。所以，这匹马变得非常敏感以至于知道在何时可以根据观众的反应而停止敲点。当Hans点到正确答案时，观众会不自觉地、下意识地发出信号。现代科学家提出要小心Clever Hans综合征，由于这个，研究人员会无意识地给他们的动物研究对象发出信号，使动物表现出他们希望看到的行为。
第五篇
【答案】
52．C 53．C 54．A 55．B
【解析】
52．全文讲了如何才能使树木成长得快一点。Life span寿命。选项C是正确的。
53．第二段。文中提到超级种子。从很多树中选出15棵长得最快的树，获得它们的树种，再种，再从中找出长得最快的树的树种，再种。以此类推，就可获得成材快的树木了，所以是靠超级种子达到长得快这一目的的。选项C是正确的。
54．第一段提到木材公司是靠树木赚钱的。第二段提到某个木材公司实施着超级种子的计划。第三段提到某个木材公司已经获得了这个计划的第一代树木。由此可见，树木的快速成材肯定对木材公司有利。选项A是正确的。
55．第二段。Therefore因此。由于前面提到的原因，才有了后面的行为或决定。这个词的前面通常是原因，该词后则通常是结果。选项B是正确的。
【原文大意】
一棵树长成需要很长的时间，到底多长?松树算是成长最快的树，但它们也需要20年的时间才能长成适合砍伐或收获的大小。橡树则需要60年的时间才能成材。而红木则需要数百年的时间。
靠树赚钱的木材公司就是依赖那些成长速度快的树。因此，他们一直在寻找能让树快速成长的方法。到目前为止，能让树快速成长的秘密就在“超级种子”中。这些种子从大森林中成材快的树中选出来的。有个公司从l00 000英亩地的树中仅选出l5棵树。这两盎司重的种子足够种几百棵新树。最后，当这些树成材时，再从这些树里挑选出成材最快的树种。这种人工选择的过程会在将来生产出超级树。这种树的成材时问只是现在树的一半。
遗憾的是，这个计划需要很多年才能达到目的。Weyerhauser木材公司于1958年做了第一次的种子挑选，现在刚开始收获，这只是第一代快速成材的超级种子。
