Part II Reading comprehension (40 points)

Section 1: Multiple choice questions (20 points,2 points for each )

Directions : In this section there are reading passages followed by multiple -choice questions. Read the passages and then write your answer on your answer sheet.

Passage 1

Questions 31- -35 are based on the following passage.

On Monday 22 October, an Italian court found seven men guilty of manslaughter for their role in failing to adequately communicate the risk of a possible earthquake which struck on6 April 2009 and killed more than 300 people in the Italian city of L’Aquila. The experts had been consulted in March that year about the possibility of a major quake after tremors, and the prosecution case hinged on the fact that they had given out inexact, incomplete and contradictory information after this meeting.

The question is: was this  trial about science or communication? while the media are filled with stories about science being on trial, claiming that scientists have been convicted of failing to predict the earthquake, New Scientist points out that conviction was actually for errors in communication.

In the 17” century, Galileo faced his own trial. it is popularly believed that he was convicted because of his practice of astronomy. In fact, he was tried because of the way he communicated his astronomy. It is a subtle but important difference. The Vatican was not opposed to astronomy but it was against the unauthorized communication of anything that would require a change in the way the Bible was interpreted. Moving the earth from the center of the solar system required a massive rethink of certain biblical passages and so should have been submitted to the Vatican for assessment. Galileo did not do that.

As Carl Sagan once said, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” In the 17” century Italy, claiming the earth moved was extraordinary. the trouble for Galileo was that he did not possess the required extraordinary evidence. His belief that the tides were created by inertia as Earth moved through space failed even a cursory analysis.

Even though history has proved his heliocentric view correct, when challenged at the time, he didn't have a leg to stand on. He had asserted too much, and conviction was a foregone conclusion. In L' Aquila, the opposite appears to have been the case. The prosecution thought that the scientists revealed too little of what they knew. In both cases, the the result was disastrous.

In 1633 the punitive treatment of Galileo eviscerated the practice of astronomy in Italy for centuries. Today, it is very hard to see how the conviction of these geologists will do anything to improve the sciences in Italy. Certainly, lessons in the communication of earthquake risk must be learned from this tragedy, but who will dare to speak up now with this outcome as precedent? who will want to study earthquakes in Italy? This verdict cannot bring back the hundreds lost in L' Aquila. it can only doom more to die as Italian scientists turn their back on the study of earthquakes.

31. We can infer that the seven scientists were sued because they ___.

A. killed many people in an earthquake.

B. failed to issue an inaccurate prediction.

C. concealed the complete information.

D. Committed errors in communication.

32. About the Galileo case, which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?

A. Galileo made a correct assertion in an inappropriate way.

B. Galileo revealed too much about his findings about astronomy.

C. Galileo was tried because he attempted to challenge the Bible.

D. Galileo failed to carry out a thorough analysis of his belief.

33. The two mentioned cases are similar in the aspect of ____.

A. procedure

B. outcome

C. character

D. influence

34. It is implied that the prosecution of the seven scientists will ____.

A. lead to more loss of lives in L' Aquila.

B. teach a lesson about communication.

C. stop the geographic research in Italy.

D. hinder the the development of science.

35. What' s the author’ s attitude toward this topic?

A. Critical

B. Objective

C. Biased

D. Unclear

Passage 2

Questions 36 40 are based on the following passage.

Facebook, a social networking site that began in 2004 as a way for college students to keep in touch has expanded to allow everyone to create their own Facebook page. Since then Facebook has carved a niche for itself in the tech world as a company that is willing to break through the traditional barriers of business.

In May 2007, the company opened its platform, allowing software developers to add their programs to the Facebook site. This in turn allowed the site users to choose from a wide variety of programs and add them to their personal Facebook pages. To show that its platform is truly open, the company held f8, an eight- hour long competition where developers create their own programs for Facebook' s interface.

Now, the company is taking its cultivation of new applications even further. In September 2007, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the company has a $10 million pile of cash waiting for software developers who want to share their programs with Facebook. the company calls it the fb Fund.

The grants range from $2500 to $250000 and a good idea could fatten a developer' s bank account. The company hasn’t announced any restrictions on the number of applications each developer can contribute, so potentially one developer could make a lot of money with a few applications. And while $250, 000 isn't anything to sneeze at, the fb Fund grants are actually just the tip of the iceberg.

Developers receiving grants from Facebook will not only get the initial cash, they will also maintain ownership of their programs. Facebook just wants first crack at providing the money needed to take the software and turn it into a viable start-up business.

It’s a basement software developer’s dream come true, and it’s no coincidence that the offer comes from a former basement software developer. Zuckerberg seems like Willy Wonka, having sent out the gold- wrapped candy bars and waiting patiently in his chocolate factory for the arrival of someone like charlie.

of course, Zuckerberg is probably not secretly planning on handing over the keys to Facebook' S front door. but with the fb Fund, he has thrown out the traditional, frustrating search between venture capital and good ideas and simply put out notice of where the money can be found.

Facebook has attached only one stipulation to its fb Fund: the company won' t consider applications from any developer of company that has already accepted venture capital from another source. This satisfies two dilemmas. It spreads venture capital around to those who have been overlooked” an example of infracaninophilia (博爱) ,or love for the underdog. The stipulation also keeps Facebook out of any sticky potential legal battles over who actually owns the software backed by Facebook’s capital. For unknown developers with good ideas and drive, Facebook’ S fb Fund offer could prove to be a cash cow.

36. Facebook distinguished itself when

A. it broke through the traditional barriers.

B. it allowed people to create their own page.

C. it provided a platform for communication.

D. developers began to devise new programs.

37. The two examples of f8 & fb Fund listed in paragraph 2 and3 respectively suggests that

A. Mark Zuckerberg is quite ambitious and aggressive.

B. Facebook is talent-oriented and challenging.

C. Facebook has more funds than its counterparts.

D. Facebook aims to hold its large share of market.

38. According to the passage, a basement software developer might

A. love to work in a basement to avoid noise

B. be in the chocolate factory to achieve success.

C. realize his dream without any financial support.

D. be in an embarrassing economic situation.

39. Searching between venture capital and good ideas was a(n) practice.

A. outdated

B. wise

C. old

D. fresh

40. Facebook won't be involved in the legal battle of ownership because

A. the company attaches little importance to such an issue

B. the right of those software developers should be protected.

C. the company shows its sympathy to those programmers.

D. the company has set up a stipulation to avoid this problem.

Section 2 Answering Questions (20 points, 2 points for each)

Directions: read the following passages and then answer in complete sentences the questions following each passage. Use only information the passage you have just read and write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer sheet.

Passage 3

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

Motorways are no doubt the safest roads in the country. Mile for mile, vehicle for vehicle you are much less likely to be killed or seriously injured than on an ordinary road. On other hand, motorways have a far better accident record than any other part of our national road system because of the speed and volume of traffic. If you do have a serious accident on a motorway, fatalities are much more likely to occur than in a comparable accident elsewhere on the roads. It is reported that motorway accidents account for some 10% of all injuries outside urban areas.

Motorways have no sharp bends, no roundabouts or traffic lights and thus speeds are much greater than on other roads. Though the 70m.p.h limit is still in force, it is often treated with the contempt that most drivers have for the 30m. p.h limit applied inbuilt-up areas in Britain. Added to this is the fact that motorway drivers seem to like travelling in convoys with perhaps barely ten meters between each vehicle. The resulting horrific pileups involving maybe hundred vehicles when one vehicle stops for some reason-- mechanical failure, driver error and so on, - have become all too familiar through pictures in newspapers or on television. How many of these drivers realize that it takes a car about one hundred meters to brake to a stop from 70 m. p.h? Drivers also seem to think that motorway driving gives them complete immunity from the caprices(多变) of the weather. However wet the road, whatever the visibility in mist or fog, the plough at ludicrous (滑稽的) speeds oblivious (不以为然的) of police warnings or speed restrictions until their journey comes to a premature conclusion.

Perhaps one remedy for this motorway madness would be better driver education. 28% of the motorcyclists polled for National Motorway Month wanted motorists be received formal training in motorway driving before being allowed down a slip road. At present, learner drivers are barred from motorways and are thus as far as this kind of driving is concerned, thrown in at the deep end. However much more efficient policing is required of, it is duty of police not only to enforce the law but also to protect the general public from its own folly.

41. According to the writer, as far as safety is concerned, the two sides of driving on motorways are that motorways are

42. Why are speeds on motorways greater than those on the other roads?

43. If one vehicle stops on a motorway, the result is that

44. Is spite of the terrible weather conditions, the motorway drivers still do not care about

45. According to the last paragraph, what measure should be taken to keep driver's madness in good control?

Passage 4

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

I am a foot taller than Napoleon and twice the weight of Twiggy; on my only visit to a beautician, the woman said she found my face a challenge. Yet despite these social disadvantage i feel cheerful, happy, confident and secure.

I work for a daily newspaper and so get to a lot of places I would otherwise never see. This year I went to Ascot to write about people there. I saw something there that made me realize the stupidity of trying to conform, of trying to be better than anyone else. there was a small, plump woman, all dressed up huge hat, dress with pink butterflies, long white gloves. She also had a shooting stick. But because she was so plump, when she sat on the stick it went deep into the ground and she couldn't pull it out. She tugged and tugged, tears of range in her eyes. When the final tug brought it out, she crashed with it to the ground.

I saw her walk away. Her day had been ruined. She had made a fool of herself in public---- she had impressed nobody. In her own sad, red eyes she was a failure.

I remember well when I was like that, in the days before I learned that nobody really cared what you do. I remember the pain of my first dance, something that is always meant to be a wonderful occasion for a girl. There was a fashion then for diamond ear rings, and I wore them so often practicing for the big night I got two great sore on my ears and had to put sticking plaster on them. Perhaps it was this that made nobody want to dance with me. Whatever it was, there I sat for four hours and 43 minutes. When I came home, I told my parents that 1 had a marvelous time and that my feet were sore from dancing.

They were pleased at my success and went to bed happily, but I went to my room and tore the bits of sticking plaster off my ears and felt forlorn and disconsolate.

46. By saying “the woman said she found my face a challenge" the author suggests that her face is _____

47. Because of the Ascot woman’s____ the stick had to be pulled out from the ground.

48. What did the author learn from what she saw in Ascot?

49. According to the author, what was the main reason for the failure of her first dance?

50. Why did the author tell a lie to her parents that she had a marvelous time?
