Part III. Reading Comprehension (35 points)
Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best one and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One (5 points)
DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all human have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own. People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.
In 1860, Mr. Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes” in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell to build its parts. So far, scientists have found all the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more we will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in a wrong way.
41. Mr. Mendel discovered ________ .
A. DNA is a map of body B. the first word in DNA
C. what DNA does D. genes in human body
42. Since 1961, scientists have ________ .
A. clarified the function of all the words in the DNA map
B. discovered medicines for longevity
C. found all the words about DNA
D. understood that genes are written in the DNA with a special language
43. If we understand more “words” in the DNA map, we can make ________ .
A. better medicine B. more jobs for them
C. maps for them D. them attractive
44. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. We look like our parents because of “genes” in our body.
B. We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do.
C. DNA is the whole “map” of the human body.
D. DNA tells the cell to build its parts.
45. People think generally this research about DNA is ________ .
A. ridiculous B. astonishing C. worthless D. beneficial
Passage Two (5 points)
It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in details, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
46. People with little education usually ________ .
A. spend a long time in school
B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years choosing jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job
47. The earliest education was probably to ________ .
A. make a man lead a better life
B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living
D. teach people to read good books
48. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ ________ ”.
A. successful B. equitable C. fair D. comprehensive
49. It can be inferred that educated people will be able to ________ .
A. make a way of living
B. feel interested in the whole world
C. develop their abilities in every aspect
D. learn subjects like language and math
50. The passage mainly tells us that ________ .
A. education could make a man improve
B. people can get educated in a short time
C. people should be able to get better education
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
Passage Three(5 points)
Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that man and animals possess if they are used. If fire didn’t hurt when it burned, children would play with it until their hands were burned away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didn’t, a child could burn itself again and again because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burnt it before. A really fearless soldier — and some do exist — is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which man and animals might soon die out.
In our first part we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of frightening of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead, to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.
In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.
In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing into your house and you may not want to go and live in a desert where there are no airplanes. In this case, fear has given you its warning, you have examined it and decided on your course of action. Fear of the particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.
51. Children would play with fire until their hands are burnt away if ________ .
A. they were not well educated at school
B. they had never played with fire before
C. they had no sense of pain
D. they were fearful of pain
52. Human beings will be extinct if ________ .
A. they use fear to guide their life B. there is too much danger
C. fear rules them D. there are not fear and pain
53. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding danger because ________ .
A. they have gained experience
B. they are warned by fear and take quick action
C. they jump out of the way in time
D. they are calm in face of danger
54. What is implied but not stated in the passage?
A. Too much fear is unnecessary.
B. Fear is always something helpful.
C. Fear is something that can be avoided.
D. Fear ought to be used as our guide in our life.
55. The best title for this passage should be ________ .
A. No Pains, No Gains B. Pains and Actions
C. The Value of Fear D. The Reason Why People Fear
Passage Four (10 points)
When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish.” I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does?
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun hurts their eyes. The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.
When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespeople. But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman”. What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters.
56. Why was the author upset in the fishing trips when he was nine?
A. He could not catch a fish.

57. What did the author’s father really mean?
A. To read about fish. B. To learn fishing by oneself.
C. To understand what fish think. D. To study fishing in many ways.
58. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found ________ .
A. in deep water on sunny days
B. in deep water on cloudy days
C. in shallow water under sunlight
D. in shallow water under waterside trees
59. After entering the business world, the author found ________ .

Passage Five(10 points)
Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Albans — a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class. After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics, then he went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology. As he himself admits, he didn’t work hard. He was a very lazy student, and did very little work. However, he still got good marks.
It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump (撞上) into things. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neurone disease, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before he was 23.
At first, Hawking became very sad. After a while, though, he began to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, "Before my illness was diagnosed (诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of worthwhile things I could do." Hawking married, found a job at Cambridge University, and had three children. He also went on to do some of the most important scientific research.
Today, Hawking still works at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, how bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair,” he once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.”
