第三部分：阅读理解

阅读下列短文,从每题所给 四个选项(A、 B、 C和D)中,选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in

the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be

called experience, and the college student will find that

every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will

generally teach gladly to any college student who does not

look down upon them . The information from them differs from

(不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its

theoretical (理论 ) part -- the explanations of why things

happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇 ) . But the

demonstration (示范) and report of what happens , and how it

happens are correct even if the reports are in completely

unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will

learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject.

One important thing for a college student to remember is that

if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.

Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional

(传统 ) practices handed down from father to son , or mother to

daughter, of old country customs (习惯), of folklore (风俗). All

this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for

much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to

separate good plants from wild grass. The college student

should learn to realize and remember how much of real value

science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how

often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area

long age.

36.In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused

wilderness" refers to _____.

A. personal experience B. wild weeds among good plants

C. the information from the parentsD. the vast store of

traditional practices

37. Which of the following statements is supported by the

passage?

A. The college students have trouble separating good plants

from wild grass

B. Craftsman's experience is usually unscientific

C. The contemptuous (傲慢 ) college students will receive

nothing from craftsmen

D. Traditional practices are as important as experience for

the college student

38. From this passage we can infer that ______.

A. we'll invite the craftsman to teach in the college

B. schools and books are not the only way to knowledge

C. scientific discoveries late based on personal experience

D. discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source

of knowledge for a

college student

39. The author advises the college student to ______ .

A. be contemptuous to the craftsman

B. be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms

C. learn the craftsman's experience by judging it carefully

D. gain the craftsman's experience without rejection

40. The main idea of this passage is about ________.

A . what to learn from the parents B. how to gain knowledge

C. why to learn from craftsman D. how to deal with experience

B

Water, water every where.

It lasted almost two months , but in August it ended. It left

45 people dead and $10 billion worth of damage in nine states

of USA. It was quite a big Mississippi flood ever recorded.

In St.Louis, Missouri, 9,000 people were forced to leave their

homes while the city was in danger. St. Louis is just

downriver from the points where the Missouri and Illinois

Rivers flow into the Mississippi. All three rivers were

flooding. But the city escaped the worst when levees (堤) broke

upriver. A levee is built of river sand and clay(粘土).

Eleven miles of flood walls were built in the late 1960's The

walls are 18 inches thick and 5 to 22 feet high. They were

designed to protect against a 52-foot flood. In St. Louis,

water almost reached the top of flood walls. It measured 49.4

feet.

41.The flood referred to in the passage _____.

A. was the heaviest one in the history B. happened in Missouri

and Illinois states

C. happened in less than twenty percent of the states of

U.S.A.

D. was recorded several times

42. The meaning of the sentence "But the city escaped the

worst" is that _____.

A. many people escaped from the city B. the flood attacked the

city heavily

C. the flood did not attack the city at all D. the city

avoided the worst situation

43. The highest flood referred to in the passage was about

______.

A. 18 feet high B. 5-22 feet high C. nearly 50 feet high D. 52

feet high

C

In hopes of becoming millionaires, many Filipinos (菲律宾人) began

drinking more Pepsi. They hoped to get a bottle cap with the

winning number on it. In May 1992, the number was announced:

349. Thousands rushed to get their reward with their bottle

caps worth a million pesos (about US $ 40,000) each.

But Pepsi wouldn't pay. The company said there was a mistake.

The numbers on the caps did not include a security code (保险号),

so the caps were not really winners. Up to 800,000 bottle caps

had the number 349.

Pepsi has spent millions of dollars on the problem. The

company has paid 54 million pesos to real winners. It also

paid 500 pesos for each No.349 cap without the security code.

44. Which of the following is not true?

A. All those who got the number of 349 got some money

B. All those who got the number of 349 didn't get the same

amount of money

C. the name of a company D. none of the above

D

In Cardiff I was put to work in furniture department at one of

the local stores. It was large, fairly out of date, run ( 经营

), like its parent company in London, by a group of relatives.

Being only a member of the store for a short time, I was in a

very fortunate position. The others, particularly the older

members of the store, were naturally asked to produce good

sales figures. I was more of an observer. If I made a sale, I

was pleased, but if I didn't, I would not be blamed. I was

really there to observe and learn, and as I had no interest in

making a position in the furniture business, I wasn't too

diligent (勤奋) about that either.

One salesman in late middle age once expressed his insecurity

(不安全感) by scolding me of trying to steal one of his customers

(雇客). Nothing could have been further from the truth, but he

demanded that I go to the stockroom (货仓) with him to settle

the matter. He was very small and thin, but to my surprise he

started dancing about among the carpets and closets working

his arms wildly and calling on me to 'put them up'. I couldn't

put anything up ---I was too busy rolling on a four-foot six -

inch spring mattress (弹簧垫子) , helpless with laughter. Finally

he saw the joke too, and we went off to the members' store for

a conciliatory(和解)cup of tea. Several days later, I finally

left the store. Thank God!

46. The furniture department was run by _____.

A. the author's parents B. the author's relatives

than the others

the store

C. the author tried to get a person to buy the furniture

dishonestly

50. Which of the following statements is true according to the

passage?

A. The author only stayed in the shop for a short time because

he was not interested

in business.

B. The author felt light - hearted when he left the shop.

C. The author was punished for stealing money from the

customer.

D. The author was asked to put up the carpets.

Driving cars, trucks and motorcycles is an important part of

our lives. We do it every day to get to work, to school or to

friends' houses.

Driving can be very convenient, but can also cause many

problems. Waiting in line at a red light, a driver may get

impatient and decide just to drive right through it. If

another car is coming from the other direction, there might be

a terrible accident. Cutting another car off can make its

driver angry, so that driver cuts off someone else. Pretty

soon everybody is angry, and impatient.

Traffic accidents declare millions of lives every year

worldwide. In Taiwan alone, over seven people are killed in

accidents every day. The annual death rate (年死亡率) from traffic

accidents in Taiwan is twice that of Japan.

To allow traffic to move smoothly and safely, everybody must

follow the rules. Before you drive, learn all the traffic

laws. That way of driving is safe, convenient and even fun!

"means "_______".

A. Traffic accidents make some people become millionaires

C. Millions of people say they themselves have had traffic

accidents

Dear Editor

In the countryside a lot of children are leaving school at an

early age for various reasons. Some have to leave school

because their families are too poor to pay for their

education. Some find difficulties in study. Some have to help

their parents to earn money. And some simply do not like

studying. In my opinion the main reason that the children can

not finish school is the poor living conditions of their

families.

I think every child has the chance to receive education. As a

student I can't do much about it. but I would try my best and

now, I would like to give them all my pocket money and hope it

will help some children.
