Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each) 从下列每篇

11、短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. For a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. They use “essay” tests, which require students to write long answers

12、 to broad, general questions such as the following: “Mention several ways in which Benjamin Franklin has influenced the thinking of people in his own country and in other parts of the world.” One advantage of the essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a high score

13、just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner more about the students ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole. It should show how deeply he has thought about the subject. Sometimes, though, essay tests have disadvantages, too. Some students are able to w

14、rite rather good answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form. Besides, in an essay test the students score may depend upon the examiners feelings at the time of reading the answer. If

15、 he is feeling tired or bored, the student may receive a lower score than he should. Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective test gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to score. Whether an objectiv

16、e test or an essay test is used, problems arise. When some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the students knowledge can usually be obtained.21.What may have been discussed in the previous paragraphs?AThe essay test. B How teachers test t

17、heir students.CHow students write their essays. D The objective test.22.The essay test is preferred because _.Ait shows more about the students understanding of the subjectBit tests the students knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideas.Cit gives each student a fairer chanceDits s

21、he people are farmers. Most of them engage in subsistence farming. This means that they raise plants and animals to furnish their families with food and other supplies. They consume their varied output and have little to sell or to trade for other goods. Subsistence farms were common in the United S

22、tates at one time, but there are few such farms today.Two thirds of American farmers practice commercial farming. Commercial farms produce about 97 per cent of the countrys agricultural goods. These farms are operated much like other industries. The members of the farm family produce the commodities

23、 (商品) that will be sent to the market. They sell their products and by the things they need.Some commercial farms are big factories in the field. They may be owned by a company or by an individual as an investment. Most American farms, however, are still operated by families. A farmer may own or ren

24、t his land.In a country as large as the United States, farms vary widely in climate, land surface, soil, water supply, convenience to market, and other characteristics. Different regions may have different kinds of specialized farms. Specialized farmers concentrate on the kind of farming best suited

25、 to the land and climate, to their technical skills, and to the money they invest in the farm.However, no region is limited to a single type of farm, Indeed few farms are limited to one crop or commodity. Where output is varied and no one kind of crop or commodity produces more than half of a farms

26、income, it is classified as a general farm. The general farmer grows varied crops to use the different kinds of soils or surfaces on his land and to employ his time and machinery most efficiently.26.Subsistence farmers _.Agrow crops for their families own useBsell a lot of their products for moneyCt

30、aces of its land are used most efficientlyPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.No one knows for sure why birds migrate (定期迁徙). One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the Ice Age, when ice covered la

31、rge parts of Europe, Asia and North America. As the ice melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again in winter. Gradually, these comings and goings became habits, and birds now migrate though much of the ice has gone.Another theory proposes that the anc

32、ient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas. There they lived so well that the region became overcrowded. Many species had to move northward. During the summer, these birds found plenty of room and food. In winter, however, food became scarce and they had to return to the south.A newer theory

33、 is that increasing daylight stimulates certain glands (腺) in the birds body and prepares it for migration. One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by exposing them for two months to artificial daylight. Recoveries of marked birds indicate that they fly north as soon as they are set

34、 free. The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the birds body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight.This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time. Each species seems to have its own schedule. The theory w

35、ould also account for the regular time and routes of migration. Birds arrive at a given place year after year. Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days. Total hours of daylight, rather than weather, start them on the way.How birds find their way to the same place year after year and why they

36、follow their own particular route are still mysteries. They evidently do not follow known landmarks (地面标志), for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults.31.We can conclude from the first paragraph that _.Aduring the Ice Age, the whole Europe was covered with iceBthe sout

37、h used to be the homelands of all birdsCscientists can confidently explain why birds migrate nowDmigration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth.32.The birds mentioned in the third paragraph fly north in midwinter because _.Athey are specially trained by a scientistBthey are affect

38、ed by seasonal changesCthere is a change in their body temperatureDthey are exposed to extra daylight33.The phrase “account for” (Line2, Para.4) most probably means _.Aindicate B explain C prove D provide34.Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?ABirds do not migrate at the same

39、 time.BBirds usually follow regular routes of migration.CEach species has a special reason for migration.DBirds migrate to their own particular places every year.35.The best title for the passage is _.ADifferent Accounts of MigrationBMigration and WeatherCNew Discovery of Bird MigrationDRoutes of Bi

If rest intervals or changes of activity are introduced, the person will be able to work for a much longer period of time. Efficiency, then, seems to be mainly a matter of the distribution of wo
