Part Ⅵ READING COMPREHENSION  (开始Part Ⅵ READING COMPREHENSION计时)

Direction: In this section there are four passages followed by fifteen questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your choice on your answer sheet.
 
 
TEXT A It is impossible to reverse knowledge, but it is societys prerogative to state which pieces of knowledge should remain unused. "Can do" never implies "must do". It is rightly illegal to clone a human being in the UK, but it would not be beyond human perversity for someone to try to do it elsewhere in the world. One UK doctor, who has publicly condemned the very idea, claims to have had people offering themselves for cloning or asking to have it done to loved ones. It would appear that some are attracted by the idea, but maybe they have not fully understood the implications. Even supposing someone would be stupid enough to try, there are many serious obstacles to be overcome. There is firstly the risk of imprisonment. A scientist would take the risk of ostracism from a disapproving medical and scientific establishment, and know that a journal would possibly refuse to publish any paper on the subject. Then he or she would have to persuade or induce dozens of people to take part in prolonged illegal experiments. It would need donors, egg cell recipients and surrogate mothers in fairly large numbers, to take part in experiments. Abnormally large progeny have resulted in animal cloning done to date, which suggests that there are serious risks to the health of the mother and potential embryo. In order to prevent the genie from coming out of the bottle, there should be immediate moves to set up, if possible, an internationally binding treaty to ban experiments regarding human cloning worldwide.

 
66. This short article is mainly about ______ 

 A) that it's illegal to clone human beings.    

 B) what you do with a Genie out of the Bottle and why you do so.    

 C) how a scientist could do this kind of experiments successfully though it's illegal.    

 D) the bad effects that "cloning humans" brings.   

 
67. Why does putting "cloneman" to practice face so many obstacles?

 A) All the people oppose it.   

 B) The technique is not mature.   

 C) Its against the humans ethic.   

 D) Both B and C.   

 
68. In order to prevent the genie from coming out of the bottle, we should do all the followings except that ______

 A) we should really know the implication carried by the idea of cloning a human being.   

 B) we shouldnt let us be used for the illegal experiment done by some ambitious scientists.   

 C) we should do our best to appeal to stopping all the "clone" experiments whether its on men or on other species.   

 D) we should make our efforts to put a worldwide ban on the experiments on humans.   

 
69. All of the following are the obstacles that a doctor can meet when trying to clone a human being except ______

 A) serious risks to the health of the surrogate mother.   

 B) the risk of imprisonment   

 C) the risk of being executed.   

 D) the risk of resistance from medical establishments.   

TEXT B No one knows who was the first to invent the dice as we know them. What is remarkable is that they have remained virtually intact across national boundaries and all through the age -- small cubes marked by dots from 1 to 6, so placed that the sum of the dots on opposite sides equals 7. Dice much like those used today were found in China in unearthed cultural relic dating from 600 BC and in ancient Egyptian tombs dating from 2000 BC, as well as in the ruins of Babylon. The playing of dice was popular in Greece and even more so in Rome, and dice were used throughout the Middle Ages. In the simplest play with dice each player throws, or shoots, for the highest sum. In China and in the United States the most popular dice game is played with two dice. The number of random numbers that can be expressed by two dice is very limited; the number are. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, all eleven of them. The most probable throw is 7. The probability of 7 is six times that of 12. Therefore it would be ideal if a new kind of dice could be invented with an equal distribution of chances for each number. Well, such dice have already been invented by a British amateur astronomer by the name Aires. The new version, which the inventor calls "heartbreak dice", also consists of two dice. But the number of random numbers that can be expressed by the new dice is more than three times that of the traditional ones, and the chances for each number are strictly equal.

 
70. According to passage one, we Chinese had played dice ______ 

 A) more than 2500 years before.    

 B) 1400 years earlier than Egyptians had done so.    

 C) in the Middle Ages.    

 D) just a little earlier before Christ was born.   

 
71. Which of the following statements on the dice in China is true? 

 A) The dice in ancient China was quite different from what it is today.    

 B) The dice in China is very different from the ones in other countries.    

 C) In China, people never play dice games with only a dice.    

 D) The rule of playing in dice game in China is the same as the ones in other countries -- to get the highest sum.   

 
72. In regarding to the new kind of dice, we can know that ______ 

 A) it isn't a practical thing though raised by an Englishman in principle.    

 B) it is also named "Aires" though it's called "heartbreak dice" at last.    

 C) it's famous for the equal distribution of chances for every possible number.    

 D) it also uses digits from 1 to 6 on it.   

TEXT C It used to be -- in popular imagination, if not always in reality -- that it was the man of the house who toted the tool belt, fixing a leaky faucet here and repairing a hole in the drywall there, while overseeing home improvements, from new bookshelves to room additions. It seemed part of our evolutionary development as a tool-using species that it was men, alone, who would prow the aisles of hardware stores. But demographics change. Women account today for fully half of the U.S. 140 billion retail hardware and home improvement industry sales in the United States. They have been motivated by the do-it-yourself movement that began in the early-1980s, and by changing economic and social realities that have made women more self-reliant. Home improvement television shows, specialty magazines, teaching clinics, and even Web Sites cater to these do-it-yourself, understanding that women are the "instigators" of home improvement projects whether or not there is a man in the house. The common wisdom within the industry is that women have significant control not only over selection of products, but also over the household budget.

 
73. Which of the following can best sum up the passage? 

 A) Women now can work on home improvement all by themselves, not needing men's help.    

 B) Women are becoming experts at home improvement.    

 C) It's women, not men, who now go to hardware stores.    

 D) Women are bornly better at home repairs.

 A) men are unwilling to do it.    

 B) women have been found talented at it.    

 C) women are affected by certain thoughts and movement.    

 D) women want to demonstrate that they are superior to men.   

 
75. We can guess from context clues that the word "to tote" (para. 1) means ______ 

 A) to repair.    

 B) to carry.    

 C) to sell.    

 D) to buy.   

 
76. Which of the following statements is True? 

 A) Women didn't take up home improvement at all.    

 B) Nowadays, men don't work on home improvement any more.    

 C) More and more women now make efforts to become do-it-yourselfers.    

 D) Men can't be the instigator of home improvement.   

TEXT D The year was 1959. Location: The central African city of Leopoldville, now called Kinshasa, shortly before the waves of violent rebellion that followed the liberation of the Belgian Congo. A seemingly healthy man walked into a hospital clinic to give blood for a westernbacked study of blood diseases. He walked away and was never heard from again. Doctors analyzed his sample, froze it in a test tube and forgot about it. A quarter century later, in the mid-1980s, researchers studying the growing AIDS epidemic took a second look at the blood and discovered that it contained H. I. V., the virus that causes AIDS. And not just any H. I. V.. The Leopoldville sample is the oldest specimen of the AIDS virus ever isolated and may now help solve the mystery of how and when the virus made the leap from animals (monkeys or chimpanzees) to humans, according to a report published last week in Nature. Dr. David Ho, director of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center in New York City and one of the studys authors, says a careful genetic analysis of the samples DNA pushes the putative origin of the AIDS epidemic back at least a decade, to early 50s even the 40s.

 
77. What's the passage about? 

 A) HIV virus and AIDS virus were earliest discovered in Africa.    

 B) The role that Leopoldvilles's sample plays.    

 C) Leopoldville's sample contributes to disclosing the puzzle on the origin of AIDS.

78. The origin of the AIDS epidemic was thought to begin in the 

 A) '40s.    

 B) '50s.    

 C) '60s.    

 D) mid-80s.   

 
79. Which of the following statements is Not True? 

 A) The AIDS virus grows out of monkeys or chimpanzees.    

 B) The AIDS virus was earliest discovered in Kinshasa, 1959.    

 C) Before Leopoldville was changed into Kinshasa in name, it was a colony.    

 D) No other AIDS virus discovered anywhere else can be older than the one discovered in Leopoldville.   

 
80. According to the passage, the man who carried HIV gave blood because he wanted to ______ 

 A) infect others to take revenge on the whole society.    

 B) earn money to support his family.    

 C) make a name.

TEXT H First read the following question. 85. Which of the following is the changes that Replogle thinks they should take in transportation policies? A. Non-motorized transportation. B. Motorized transportation. C. Promoted costly transportation. D. Advanced transportation. Now scan the passage and answer the question. Our experts say changes in transportation policies are needed not only in the many advanced industrialized countries, but also in developing ones. As Replogle explains, "Right now the west is promoting transportation solutions that havent for them and that are even more inappropriate in a Third World setting. Non-motorized transportation can help serve a major portion of a developing countrys transportation needs at a lower cost in a much more efficient manner."

 
85. Which of the following is the changes that Replogle thinks they should take in transportation policies? 

 A) Non-motorized transportation.    

 B) Motorized transportation.    

 C) Promoted costly transportation.    

 D) Advanced transportation.   

TEXT I First read the following questions. 86. Which of the following cant be inferred? A. Electric fishes can find their way about without eyes, as long as their electric sense organs function. B. Electric fishes can feel the electricity not sent by them. C. Electric fishes may use their eyes in plain water instead of the electric impulses. D. Electric fishes also can feel larger objects around them in the water. Now scan the passage and answer the questions. Perhaps the most remarkable devices, and certainly the most sensitive, belong to the strange family of electric eels and fishes. In the muddy waters of South American rivers these fishes eyes are of little use to them. Instead of eyes they use extremely accurate electric sense organs. These fishes send a series of blips of electricity into the water around them. By noting how the pattern of electricity in the water changes, they can not only find their way about, but even detect very small objects in the water. They see" through the use of electrical impulses. This fact can be demonstrated by rubbing a comb through ones hair (to create static electricity) and placing it by an electric fishs tank. The fish will go wild trying to find out whats going on.

 
86. Which of the following can't be inferred? 

 A) Electric fishes can find their way about without eyes, as long as their electric sense organs function.

Let us also assume that person A is very talkative and asks many questions and meanwhile person B remains silent throughout. Person A asks you a question, how can you answer him and carry on a conversation, without making B feel excluded? Use this simple but highly effective inclusion technique: when person A asks a question, look at him as you give an answer, then turn your head towards B, then back to A, then B again until you make your final statement, looking at A (who asked the question) again as you finish your sentence. This technique lets B feel involved in the conversation and is particularly useful if you need go have B to side with you.
