2、40分）Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Ask three people to look the same window a

3、t a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman

4、 giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the minds interpretation of what the sensesin this case our eyestell us.Many psyc

5、hologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are tryin

6、g to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.1. Seeing and perceiving are .A. the same actionB. two separate actionsC. two actions carried on entirely by eyesD. several actions that take place at different times2.

9、e for this selection is .A. How We SeeB. Learning about Our Minds through ScienceC. What Psychologists PerceiveD. How to Because an Experimental PsychologistPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science ha

10、s made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown tat 40 percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures ate more prone to get certain illnesses because of the foo

11、d that is characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet these carcinogenic additives remain in our f

12、ood, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives that we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of tre

13、ated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control t

14、hese procedures, the practices continue.6. How has science done a disservice to mankind?A. Because of science, most of the foods we eat today are contaminated.B.

The word “carcinogenic” means most nearly the same as .A. trouble-making B. color-retainingC. money

17、-saving D. cancer-causing10. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons.B. Some of the additives in our food are added to the food itself and some are given to the living animals.C. Researchers have known about the potential hazards of the

18、food additives for over thirty-five years.D. Food may cause forty percent of cancer in the world.Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Unlike their American or European counterparts, car salesmen in Japan work hard to get a buyer. Instead of lying lazily around showrooms wai

19、ting for customers to drop by, many Japanese car salesmen still go out to get them. They walk wearily along the streets cars door-to-door. New customers are hunted with fruit and cakes on their birthdays. But life is getting tough, and not just because new-car sales are falling.With more Japanese wo

20、men (who often control the household budget) going out to work, the salesmen increasingly find nobody at home when they call. That means another visit in the evening or the weekend. Then they face an extra problem: more people, especially the young, prefer to choose a new car from a showroom where t

21、hey can compare different models.Even as late as the mid-1980s some 90% of new cars were sold door-to-door. In some rural areas most new cars are still sold this way. But in the big cities more than half the new cars are now sold from showrooms.Although investing in showrooms is expensive because of

22、 the high cost of Japanese land, dealers have little choice. A labor shortage and higher expectations among Japans workforce are making it difficult to hire door-to-door salesmen. Most of a Japanese car salesmans working day is spent doing favors for customers, like arranging insurance or picking up

23、 vehicles for servicing, rather than actually selling.Japans doorstep car salesmen are not about to vanish. The personal service they provide is so deep-rooted in Japan that they are likely to operate alongside the glittering new showrooms. The two systems even complement each other. What increasing

24、ly happens is that the showroom attracts the interest of a potential buyer, giving the footsore salesmen a firm lead to follow up with a home visit.11. Japanese car sales usually do not wait at showrooms for customers to drop by; instead, .A. they sell cars door-to-doorB. they buy presents for their

25、 customersC. they enjoy themselves in recreation centersD. they go out to do market researches12. Implied but stated: the competition in car market is .A. light B. moderate C. fierce D. unfair13. Young people like to buy a new car .A. at home B. from a showroomC. made in the U.S.A. D. made in Japan1

26、4. The squadron of Japanese car salesmen is reducing because of .A. a labor shortageB. higher expectations among Japans workforceC. high cost landD. both A and B15. Japanese car salesmen to their customers many favors such as .A. showing them around in an exhibitionB. arranging insuranceC. paying th

27、em a visit on weekendsD. selling ole cars for themPassage 4(非英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:The new global satellite communications systems will offer three kinds service, which may overlap in many different kinds of receivers.VOICE. Satellite telephones will be able t

28、o make calls from anywhere on the Earth to anywhere else. That could make them especially useful to remote, third world villages (some of which already use stationary satellite telephones), explorers and disaster-relief teams. Todays mobile telephones depend on earth-bound transmitters, where techni

29、cal standards vary from country to country. So business travelers cannot use their mobile phones on international trips. Satellite telephones would make that possible.MESSAGING. Satellite massagers have the same global coverage as satellite telephones, but carry text alone, which could be useful for

30、 those with laptop computers. Equipped with a small screen like todays papers, satellite massagers will also receive short messages.TRACKING. Voice and messaging systems will also tell their users where they are to within a few hundred meters. Combined with the messaging service, the location servic

31、e could help rescue teams to find stranded adventurers, the police to find stolen cars, exporters to follow the progress of cargoes, and haulage companies to check that drivers are not detouring the pub. Americas military Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite will provide better positioning info

32、rmation to anyone who has a receiver for their signals, but GPS does not carry messages, so such a receiver cannot be used on its own for tracking or rescue. By the mid-1990s, GPS receivers will be able to tell people where they are to within 70 meters anywhere in the world, and to within a meter or so in areas where the service is supplemented by ground-based transmitter.16. Global satellite communications systems will be useful to .A. laptop computer users
