Part III. Reading Comprehension 31- 55 (1%×25=25%)
Passage One
If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than at other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate has some effect on our mental abilities.
He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of a large number of people tend to be lowest in the summer.
Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.
Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking.
31. According to the passage, your intelligence probably ___.
A. stays the same throughout the year

B. his work among people in different climates
C. records of temperature changes

33. Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have ___.
A. a great effect on everyone’s intelligence
B. some effect on a few persons’intelligence
C. some effect on most persons’intelligence
D. no effect on most persons’intelligence
34. One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that ___.
A. all nature, including man, is growing then

D. both B and C
35. The two best seasons for thinking seems to be ___.
A. spring and fall
B. winter and summer
C. summer and spring
D. fall and winter
Passage Two
Foxes and farmers have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting or poisoning them.
Farmers can also call on the services of their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it.
People who take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior. But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters are wealthy.
It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch or take part in fox hunting. But over the last couple of decades the number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is brutal (殘酷的), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to pass off without some kind of confrontation (衝突) between hunters and hunt saboteurs (阻攔者). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence, but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.
Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament, Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban in

38. Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________.
A) by resorting to violence C) by taking legal action
B) by confusing the fox hunters D) by demonstrating on the scene
39. A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.
A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes
B) forbid hunting foxes with dogs
C) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside

40. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A) killing foxes with poison is illegal

Passage Three

Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history.

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sound like music and by their associations can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.

A. use words carefully
B. use words in a literary style
C. use words without accuracy

47. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings was that ___.
A. they could express actions and things
B. they could therefore communicate with each other
C. they could agree upon letters
D. they could write and combine them
48. What is true about words?
A. They are used to express only thoughts and feelings.
B. They are signs.
C. They are simply sounds.
D. They can only be written.
49. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us.
B. The more we read and learn, the more knowledge we will acquire.
C. The more we read and learn, the more learned we are.
D. The more we read and learn, the more literate we become.
50. In expressing their thoughts, great writers are able to ___.
A. move men to tears
B. be masters
C. sing
D. be charming
Passage Five
During the 20th century there has been a great change in the lives of women. A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live further twenty years, during which chance and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today, women marry younger and have fewer children, usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty five years and is likely to take paid work until sixty.
The most important change is women’s economic position. Even a few years ago, most girls left school and took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women marry younger, more married women stayed at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfaction of family life.
51. We are told that in a family about 1900___.
A. few children died before they were five
B. four or five children died when they were five
C. seven or eight children lived to be more than five
D. the youngest child could be fifteen
52. One reason why the woman today may take a job is that she ___.
A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves
B. doesn't like children herself
C. needn't worry about food for her children
D. can be free from family duties when she reaches sixty
53. Many girls are now likely to ___.
A. give up their jobs for good after they are married
B. leave schools as soon as they can
C. marry so that they can get a job
D. continue working until they are going to have a baby
54. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to __.
A. stay at home after leaving school.
B. marry men younger than themselves
C. start working again later in life
D. marry while still at school
55. Now a husband probably ___.
A. plays a greater part in looking after the children
B. helps his wife by doing more of the housework
C. feels dissatisfied with his part in the family
D. takes a part-time job so that he can help in the home
