Reading comprehension (40 points)

Directions:
Read
the
following
four
passages.
Answer
the
questions
below
each
passage
by
choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Passage One
Less than 40 years ago in the United States, it was common to change a one- dollar bill
for a dollar“s worth of silver. That is because the coins were actually made of silver.
But those days are gone. There is no silver in today“s coins. When the price of the
precious
metal
rises
above
its
face
value
as
money,
the
metal
will
become
more
valuable in other uses. Silver coins are no longer in circulation because the silver in
coins
is
worth
much
more
than
their
face
value.
A
silver
firm
could
find
that
it
is
cheaper to obtain silver by melting down coins than by buying it on the commodity
markets. Coins today are made of an alloy of cheaper metals.

Gresham“s
Law,
named
after
Sir
Thomas
Gresham,
argues
that

money
is
driven
out
of
circulation
by

money
Good
money
differs
from
bad
money
because it has higher commodity value.





Gresham
lived
in
the
16th
century
in
England
where
it
was
common
for
gold
and
silver coins to be debased. Governments did this by mixing cheaper metals with gold
and silver. The governments could thus make a profit in coinage by issuing coins that
had
less
precious
metal
than
the
face
value
indicated.
Because
different
mixings
of
coins had different amounts of gold and silver, even though they bore the same face
value,
some
coins
were
worth
more
than
others
as
commodities.
People
who
dealt
with gold and silver could easily see the difference between the
money.
Gresham
observed
that
coins
with
a
higher
content
of
gold
and
silver
were
kept rather than being used in exchange, or were melted down for their precious metal.
In the mid-
1960s when the U.S. issued new coins to replace silver coins, Gresham“s
law went right in action. 51. Why was it possible for Americans to use a one-dollar
bill for a dollar“s worth of silve
r?
/

A. Because there was a lot of silver in the United States.

B. Because money was the medium of payment.

C. Because coins were made of silver.

D. Because silver was considered worthless.

52.
Today“s coins in the United States are made of ______.

A. some precious metals

B. silver and some precious metals

C. various expensive metals

D. some inexpensive metals

53. What is the difference between

A. They are circulated in different markets.

B. They are issued in different face values.

C. They are made of different amounts of gold and silver.

D. They have different uses.

54. What was the purpose of the governments issuing new coins by mixing cheaper
metals with gold and silver in the 16 th century?

A. They wanted to reserve some gold and silver for themselves.

B. There was neither enough gold nor enough silver.





C. New coins were easier to be made.

D. They could make money.

Passage Two
By the mid-nineteenth century, the term
but
ice was still only beginning to
affect
the diet
of ordinary
citizens in
the United
States: The ice trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns,
and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and
butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it
also
came
into
household
use.
Even
before
1880,
half
the
ice
sold
in
New
York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went
to
families
for
their
own
use.
This
had
become
possible
because
a
new
household
convenience, the icebox, a precursor of the modem refrigerator, had been invented.

Making
an efficient icebox was
not
as
easy
as
we might
now suppose.
In the early
nineteenth
century,
the
knowledge
of
heat,
which
was
essential
to
a
science
of
refrigeration, was rudimentary. The commonsense notion that the best icebox was one
that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of
ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included
wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the
end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation
and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.

But as early as 1803, an ingenious Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the
right track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for
which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of
his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass
up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay a premium price for
his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks. One advantage of his icebox,
Moore explained, was that farmers would no longer have to travel to market at night
in order to keep their produce cool.

55. What is the main idea of this passage?





A. The influence of ice on the diet.

B. The transportation of goods to market.

C. The development of refrigeration.

D. Sources of the term

56.
According
to
the
passage,
when
did
the
word

become
part
of
the
American language?

A. In 1803.

B. Around 1850.

C. During the Civil War.

D. Before 1880.

57. The word

A. basic

B. sufficient

C. necessary

D. undeveloped
/

58.
The
sentence

Moore
had
been
on
the
right
track
(para.3)
indicates
that__________

A. Moore“s farm was not far away from Washington

B. Moore“s farm was on the right road

C.
Moore“s design was completely successful

D. Moore was suitable for the job


Passage Three
Today,
the
computer
has
taken
up
appliance
status
in
more
than
42
percent
of
households
across
the
United
States.
And
these
computers
are
increasingly
being
wired to the Internet. Online access was up more than 50 percent in just the past year.
Now, more than one quarter of all U.S. households can surf in cyberspace.

Mostly, this explosive growth has occurred democratically. The online penetration and
computer
ownership
increases
extend
across
all
the
demographic
levels
--
by
race,
geography, income, and education.





We view these trends as favorable without the slightest question because we clearly
see computer technology as empowering. In fact, personal
growth and a
prosperous
U.S.
economy
are
considered
to
be
the
long- range
rewards
of
individual
and
collective technological power.

Now for the not-so-good news. The government's analysis spells out so-called digital
divide. That is, the digital explosion is not booming at the same pace for everyone.
Yes, it is true that we are all plugged in to a much greater degree than any of us have
been
in
the
past.
But
some
of
us
are
more
plugged
in
than
others
and
are
getting
plugged
in
far
more
rapidly.
And
this
gap
is
widening
even
as
the
pace
of
the
information age accelerates through society.

Computer ownership and Internet access are highly classified along lines of wealth,
race,
education,
and
geography.
The
data
indicates
that
computer
ownership
and
online access are growing more rapidly among the most prosperous and well educated:
essentially, wealthy white people with high school and college diplomas and who are
part of stable, two-parent households.
/

The
highest
income
bracket
households,
those
earning
more
than
$$75,000
annually,
are
20
times
as
likely
to
have
access
to
the
Internet
as
households
at
the
lowest
income
levels,
under
$$10,000
annually.
The
computer
penetration
rate
at
the
high-income
level
is
an
amazing
76.56
percent,
compared
with
8
percent
at
the
bottom end of the scale.

Technology access differs widely by educational level. College graduates are 16 times
as
likely
to
be
Internet
surfers
at
home
as
are
those
with
only
elementary-school
education. If you look at the differences between these groups in rural areas, the gap
widens to a twenty-six-fold advantage for the college-educated.

From
the
time
of
the
last
study,
the
information
access
gap
grew
by
29
percent
between the highest and lowest income groups, and by 25 percent between the highest
and lowest education levels.

In
the
long
nm,
participation
in
the
information
age
may
not
be
a
zero
sum
game,
where if some groups win, others must lose. Eventually, as the technology matures we
are
likely
to
see
penetration
levels
approach
all
groups
equally.
This
was
true
for




telephone access and television ownership, but eventually can be cold comfort in an
era when tomorrow is rapidly different from today and unrecognizable compared with
yesterday.

59. How many U.S. households have linked to Internet today?

A. More than 25 percent.

B. By 29 percent.

C. More than 42 percent.

D. More than 50 percent.

60. According to the text, the computer use by the high-income level is
that by the
lowest income levels.

A. 8 percent more than

B. 76.56 percent more than

C. nearly 10 times as many as

D. about 20 times as many as

61.
According
to
the
author,
which
of
the
following
prevents
people
from
gaining
access to the Internet?

A. Income level.

B. Poor education and low-income level.

C. Participation in the information age.

D. Telephone access and television ownership.

62. Judging from the context, what does

A. The government's analysis.

B. The divide between the poor and the rich.

C. The pace of the information age.

D. The gap between people's access to the computer.

Passage Four
Just over a year ago, I foolishly locked up my bicycle outside my office, but forgot to
remove
the
pannier
(
挂蓝
).
When
I
returned
the
pannier
had
been
stolen.
Inside
it
were about ten of thelittle red notebook I take everywhere for jotting down ideas for
articles, short stories, TV shows and the like.
