Part III Reading Comprehension (40%)
(35minutes)
Directions: There are four
passages in this part. Each passage is followed by
five
questions or unfinished statements. For
each question, there are four choices marked
A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best
answer. Then mark the corresponding
letter on
the Answer Sheet with a single line through the
center.
Passage One
Questions 33 to
37 are based on the following passage.
An
earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a
fault(断层).A fault is a fracture
in the
crust(地壳)of the earth along which rock on one side
have moved relative to
those on the other
side. Stresses in the earth’s outer layer push the
sides of the fault
together, build up and the
rocks slips suddenly, releasing energy in waves
that travel
through the rock to cause the
shaking that we feel during an earthquake.
Earthquakes tend to be concentrated in narrow
zones. There are 7 major crustal
plates on
earth, about 80 km thick, all in constant motion
relative to one another. They
move at between
10 and 130mm per year.
It is estimated
that there are several million earthquakes in the
world each year.
Many of these earthquakes go
undetected because they occur in remote areas or
have
very small magnitudes(震级). The USGS
Earthquake Information center locates
12,000
to 14,000 earthquakes each year (about 35 per
day). On average, about 60
earthquakes per
year are classified as significant, with 19
classified as major. A
significant earthquake
is one of magnitude 6.5 or higher or one of lesser
magnitude
that causes casualties (伤亡)or
considerable damage. Major earthquakes have a
magnitude larger than 7.0.

A)how
earthquakes are formed and classified

Passage Two
Questions 33 to 42 are based on the following
passage.
Have you ever suddenly felt that
someone you know was in trouble — and he
was?
Have you ever dreamed something that came true
later?Maybe you have a
sixth sense (SS).
This sense seems to let people know about
events before they happen, or events that
are
happening some distance away.
Here’s an
example: A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she
screamed, “My
father is dead! I saw him
sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came.
The
woman’s father died of a heart attack. He
died sitting in a chair.
There are
thousands of stories like this one on record.
Scientists are studying
them to find out
what’s behind these strange mental messages.
Here’s another
example — one of hundreds of
dreams that have come true:
A man dreamed
he was walking along a road when a horse and
carriage came
by. The driver said,”There’s
room for one. “The man felt the driver seemed
dead.
So he ran away. The next day,the man was
getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver
said,”There’s room for one more. “ Then the
man saw that the driver’s face was the
same
face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on
the bus. As the bus drove
off, it
crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was
killed!
Some people say stories like these
are lies or coincidences — things that happen
by chance. Others, including some scientists,
say that the SS is real. From studies of it,
we may someday learn more about the human
mind.
article is mainly about__C__.
A)the five senses B)the human dream C)the
sixth sense D)the human
mind
lets
people know__A__.
A)about events before
they happen or happen some distance away.
B)about events after they happen.
C)about
events that have come true.
D)about events
that are not happening or will happen some time
later.
studying SS, scientists may get
to_C____.
A)learn how people tell lies.
B)know more about human mind.
C)learn how strange things happen.
D)know
more about human dreams.
ing to the passage,
the author believes that the sixth sense is_C___.
A)lifelike B)dreamlike C)in distance
D)in existence
the last paragraph, the word
“coincidences” probably means_A___.
A)Things that happen by chance
B)Things
that may not happen
C)Things that must
happen
D)Things that happen in a dream
Passage Three
Questions 43 to 47 are based
on the following passage.
Information has
always been at the center of human communication.
You may
ask why. Well, communication between
people involves giving and receiving
information .The way we give and receive
information today has experienced a
revolution
in the development of the mass media in the
20
th
century.
The first truly mass
communication medium was the newspaper. For the
first time in
history, people could read about
events in their country and form around the world
every day.
However, there were two problems
with newspapers to the countryside was a difficult
and
time-consuming task. Secondly, newspaper
weren't always reliable, as there a limited range
of
opinions.
Nowadays, we can choose from
a wide variety of sources to get information.
Television
and the Internet have given us the
chance to be informed about everything the minute
it
happens. Numerous radio and TV stations,
satellite channels and millions of websites help
people keep up with the latest news. People
live history and are part of it.
The media
have come a long way in the last century and there
is no doubt that we now live
in the
information age. Whatever type of me choose, it
all comes down to the need for
information.
This will always be a basic need as long as
communication is part of human nature
43.
Information is considered to be the center of
human communication because_A.
A) human
communication means information exchange
B)
human communication involves people's
participation
C) information is now
experiencing a revolution
D) information helps
people gather together
44. What was the
historical contribution of the newspaper as a sour
of information?C

mass communication develop in cities.
C) It
kept people timely informed about the world
events.
D) It kept reliable information
available in big cities.
was NOT the problem
with the newspaper of that timeD
A) Its
difficult delivery in the countryside.
B) Its
limitation of information sources.
C) Its
limited reliability of information.
D) Its
easy circulation in big cities.
third
paragraph mainly tells us technology helpsA____.
A) information easily available
B) people
be part of history
C) Inform everything timely
D) Produce the latest news
can be safely
concluded from the last paragraph that a basic
need today is_B___.
A) communication
B)information C)high-technology D)media types
Passage Four
Questions 48 to 52 are
based on the following passage.
Lately,
plants that are usually only grown outdoors have
found their way into
inside spaces. There are
a few simple reasons why this happens.
The modern inside environment can be a good place
for a wide variety of
outdoor plants. Plants
that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor
weather can be
protected by the warmer inside
spaces. Plants that used to be found only outside,
such
as trees, have become more and more
popular as decorations (装饰 )inside houses.
Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in
hot places, have begun to grow well
in inside
places.
One reason that the modern home has
made foreign outdoor plants more practical is
the modern use of windows. In the past windows
were used less often in buildings
than they
are today. It is partly because of the ability of
large windows to admit a
large quantity of
light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the
same time, that many
outdoor plants have been
able to make their move inside.
It is true
that most of the plants that have been successful
in moving inside have been
small. The best
varieties are the small ones that make excellent
decorations where
other plants prove difficult
to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside,
it is not
likely the larger varieties can be
used. Unfortunately, most homes just don’t have
the
space to grow a monkey tree.
passage
is mainly concerned with D________.
A)the
ability of large windows
B)the
difficulty of moving monkey trees into homes
C)the best suited trees
D)growing plants
inside houses
of the following is most likely
to be true? B
A)The inside environment can
not protect plants at all.
B)People like to
use plants as decorations in their houses.
C)The uses of windows in the past were good for
plants.
D)People move plants into their
houses to save them.
of the following helps
plants move indoors?D
A)The modern use of
windows.
B)The modern use of inside space.
C)The small varieties of plants inside.
D)The foreign outdoor plants from hot
places.
ing to the passage, modern windows are
used toD_______.
A)allow fresh air in
B)grow plants and trees inside
C)control
the temperature D)provide heat and light
is
not likely that large plants will move inside
because C________.
A)the weather is not
suitable
B)they cannot be moved
C)there is not enough space
D)they cannot
be controlled

Part Ⅴ Wring(15%)

Food Safety in China
With the growing
awareness of healthy eating, more and more people
now are paying more attention to the
importance of healthy diet and an active
life.
But at the same time, a growing unrest over food
safety in the China has
caught everyone’s
concern.
When it comes to the food safety
incidents, especially 2008 Chinese milk
scandal, every consumer has much anger to pour
upon them. In September
2008, a fresh outbreak
of kidney disease occurred, due to baby formula
contaminated by melamine. Three babies
died and over 6,000 were made sick
by the
tainted formula. The supplier of the milk, Sanlu
Group, is a name brand
and is a major player
in the industry in China. The company is said to
have
known of the problem for months, but
claims the contaminant came from milk
suppliers.
Who should be main
responsible for these serious incidents like milk
scandal? On one hand, complex China’s food
regulations should shoulder part
duties. We
should realized its monitoring system can be
unresponsive, and the
government departments
that oversee and enforce policies have overlapping
and often ambiguous duties. On the other, food
producers and suppliers lack
deserved
responsibility for consumers! What they cares is
only their own
interest and profit
maximization.
In my opinion ,everyone
involved in it should set up a high
responsibility for others, law related should
be passed and carried out.
Only in this way
can we come by a healthy eating and a harmonious
world.

Passage Three
Questions 43 to 47 are based
on the following passage.
Information has
always been at the center of human communication.
You may
ask why. Well, communication between
people involves giving and receiving
information .The way we give and receive
information today has experienced a
revolution
in the development of the mass media in the
20
th
century.
The first truly mass
communication medium was the newspaper. For the
first time in
history, people could read about
events in their country and form around the world
every day.
However, there were two problems
with newspapers to the countryside was a difficult
and
time-consuming task. Secondly, newspaper
weren't always reliable, as there a limited range
of
opinions.
Nowadays, we can choose from
a wide variety of sources to get information.
Television
and the Internet have given us the
chance to be informed about everything the minute
it
happens. Numerous radio and TV stations,
satellite channels and millions of websites help
people keep up with the latest news. People
live history and are part of it.
The media
have come a long way in the last century and there
is no doubt that we now live
in the
information age. Whatever type of me choose, it

Passage Four
Questions 48 to 52 are
based on the following passage.
Lately,
plants that are usually only grown outdoors have
found their way into
inside spaces. There are
a few simple reasons why this happens.
The modern inside environment can be a good place
for a wide variety of
outdoor plants. Plants
that ordinarily cannot grow in colder outdoor
weather can be
protected by the warmer inside
spaces. Plants that used to be found only outside,
such
as trees, have become more and more
popular as decorations (装饰 )inside houses.
Orchids (兰花), which were once only found in
hot places, have begun to grow well
in inside
places.
One reason that the modern home has
made foreign outdoor plants more practical is
the modern use of windows. In the past windows
were used less often in buildings
than they
are today. It is partly because of the ability of
large windows to admit a
large quantity of
light from the sun and to keep the heat in at the
same time, that many
outdoor plants have been
able to make their move inside.
It is true
that most of the plants that have been successful
in moving inside have been
small. The best
varieties are the small ones that make excellent
decorations where
other plants prove difficult
to grow. Although some trees can be grown inside,
it is not
likely the larger varieties can be
used. Unfortunately, most homes just don’t have
the
space to grow a monkey tree.
passage
is mainly concerned with D________.
A)the
ability of large windows
B)the
difficulty of moving monkey trees into homes
C)the best suited trees
D)growing plants
inside houses
of the following is most likely
to be true? B
A)The inside environment can
not protect plants at all.
B)People like to
use plants as decorations in their houses.
C)The uses of windows in the past were good for
plants.
D)People move plants into their
houses to save them.
of the following helps
plants move indoors?D
A)The modern use of
windows.
B)The modern use of inside space.
C)The small varieties of plants inside.
D)The foreign outdoor plants from hot
places.
ing to the passage, modern windows are
used toD_______.
A)allow fresh air in
B)grow plants and trees inside
C)control
the temperature D)provide heat and light
is
not likely that large plants will move inside
because C________.
A)the weather is not
suitable
B)they cannot be moved
C)there is not enough space
D)they cannot
be controlled

Food Safety in China
With the growing
awareness of healthy eating, more and more people
now are paying more attention to the
importance of healthy diet and an active
life.
But at the same time, a growing unrest over food
safety in the China has
caught everyone’s
concern.
When it comes to the food safety
incidents, especially 2008 Chinese milk
scandal, every consumer has much anger to pour
upon them. In September
2008, a fresh outbreak
of kidney disease occurred, due to baby formula
contaminated by melamine. Three babies
died and over 6,000 were made sick
by the
tainted formula. The supplier of the milk, Sanlu
Group, is a name brand
and is a major player
in the industry in China. The company is said to
have
known of the problem for months, but
claims the contaminant came from milk
suppliers.
Who should be main
responsible for these serious incidents like milk
scandal? On one hand, complex China’s food
regulations should shoulder part
duties. We
should realized its monitoring system can be
unresponsive, and the
government departments
that oversee and enforce policies have overlapping
and often ambiguous duties. On the other, food
producers and suppliers lack
deserved
responsibility for consumers! What they cares is
only their own
interest and profit
maximization.
In my opinion ,everyone
involved in it should set up a high
responsibility for others, law related should
be passed and carried out.
Only in this way
can we come by a healthy eating and a harmonious
world.
