Part Two Reading Comprehension (40 points 40 minutes) Directions:In this part there are four passages.
Each passage isfollowed by a number of comprehension questions.
Read the pzssage andanswer the questions. Then blacken the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet (1)
Parrots( 鸚鵡 ) are becoming one of the most popular pets( 供玩賞的動物 ) in America-and for good reason.
The parrot is an extraordinary bird thatcan be taught to talk, can be easily cared for, and can create a livelyatmosphere anywhere.With the help of an energetic parrot owner, aparrot can develop an enormous vocabulary.In addition,a parrot can betrained to say "Pretty boy"or "Polly wants a cracker", and it also canlearn to whistle or sing.No matter what an owner decides to teach abird,training a parrot takes much patience,but the reward is a streamof chatter.
Another reason for the parrot's popularity is that this petdoes not require much care.For example,even a spoiled parrot does notneed a bousesitter for the purpose of daily walks and daily feeding. Infact ,a parrot owner may leave his or her pet with enough food for fivedays and have no fear that the parrot will overeat . Still anotheradvantage of owning a parrot is its inexpensive food , including seeds,nuts,corn,and grain-along with an apple,banana,or carrot. Perhaps the
most likely reason the parrot is becoming such a well-liked pet is thatit is a combination of tameness and wildness.
Because the parrot canlive in almost any environment,it makes a fine,tame companion for manypeople.In addition ,because it can be easily trained,it is a delihgtfulperformer.At the same time,its colorful feathers give it an air of themystery of the parrots' native home,the jungle. Thus,the parrot, once ahighly valued gift presented to kings and noble families,is nowappreciated by a growing number of people.

(2) Third World countries often mistakenly decide to permit rapidindustrialization.When this industrialization occurs,many new factoriesopen,and workers get jobs.Unfortunately.many of these new jobs are notpermanent.The leaders of an industry want their factories to be asproductive as possible,and they will do anything to achieve that goal.Whenever they can ,they take advantage of automation,which means thatworkers aer replaced by a more efficient machine.As a result, a workertrained for a specific factory job becomes unemployed, and the profitsof the factory owners are maximized.
Many experts in Third World economics are concerned about rapidindustrialization because it brings problems as well as progress.Citizens of these countries need jobs that will last,not jobs that aretemporary.In the opinion of these economists,the leaders of Third Worldcountries should be aware of the dangers as well as the advantages ofrapid industrialization.
46.The rapid industrialization in Third World countries could mean--
a.more progress to the state b.more profits to the factory owners
c.more problems to the government d.all of the above
47.Of the following four points,which one do leaders of an industryconsider first?
a.More jobs for the workers b.Rapid developmem In all the fields
c.Better pay for the workers d.Highest productivity
48.According to the passage,automation coull lead to --
a.more jobs and therefor more pay
b.fewer machines and therefore more workers
c.more machines and therefore fewer workers
d.fiwer machines and therefore more progress
49.The author wrote the passage in order to--
a.tell us an interesting story
b.reveal a fact
c.tell us the disadvantages of automation
d.give a warning to some Third World countries
50.In the sentence"Citizens of these countries need jobs that willlast",the word "last"means"--"
a.follow all the rest b.go on c.become late d.be most recent
(3)Perhaps the world's most pressing problem is shortage of food,particularly of foods rich in proteins( 蛋白質(zhì) )Traditional sources ofproteins are meat,fish,eggs and dairy products. Cereals( 谷類 ) such aswheat and rice contain protein but in much smaller amounts.
Most protein in underdeveloped countries comes from cereals.Australians eat about 60 grams of protein a day;the average Indian islucky if he gets10 grams.
In a place like India,the protein is not distributed evenly. Children,who need it most,often get the least.This causes serious malnutrition(營養(yǎng)不良)which results in underdeveloped bodies. The brzin isparticularly affected so that children,if they survive( 活下來 ) , oftengrow into mentally retarded( 遲鈍 )adults.
Studies have shown that about half a hectare( 公頃 )of land is neededper head of population to provide a minimum adequate diet( 適合的飲食 ) .Australia at present farms almost one hectare per head of population.
The world has 3200 million hectares of land available for farming.Simple arithmetic shows that this can support a population of 1600million people.Even if we farm with four times the efficiency, therewill still be many starving people by the year 2000 when the duced is used to feed cattle, poultry and pigs. For example , it isestimated that a bullock(小公牛 )needs to consume 20 kilograms of grainto produce only one kilogram of beef.
51.The passage mainly focuses on --
a.sources of protein b.overpopulation
c.shortage of food d.malnutrition in Indian children
52.The second and the third paragraphs tell us --
a.cereals are rich in protein
b.some Indian children suffer from malnutrition
c.children need little protein in India
d.Australians' daily diet lacks protein
53.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the fourth and thefifth paragraphs?
a.Ways to improve farming efficiency.
b.World land available for farming.
c.Farming in Australia at present.
d.World population.
54. Judging from the content, "is accentrated by "in the sixthparahraph can best be replaced by --
a."is solved by " b "is improved by " c."is examined by " d."is worsened by "
55.From the last two paragraphs ,we learn that--
a.Australia is short of food
b.the average Australian eats less than he needs
c.developed countries are not economical with food
d.animal-feeding needs little food
(4)Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in thehistory books are great conquerors,generals, and soldiers, whereas thepeople who really helped civilization( 文明 )move forward are often nevermentioned at all.We do not know who first launched a seaworthy boat, orwho calculated the length of the year,but we know all about the killersand destroyers.People think a great deal of them,so much so that on allthe highest pillars (柱子)in the great cities of the world you will findthe figure of a conqueror,a general,or a soldier.And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten inbattle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them asconquerors.It is just possible that they are the greatest,but they arenot the most civilized.Animals fight;so do savages;hence to be good atfighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage isgood ,but it is not to be civilized.Even being good at getting otherpeople to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently- this ,after all ,is what conquerors and generals have done- is notbeing civilized.People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing ,and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settlingtheir disputes( 爭端 )other than by seeing which side can kill off thegreater number of the other side,and then saying that that side whichhas killed most has won.And not only that it has won,but,because it haswon,it has been in the right.For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.
56.The author believes that history books--
a.should say more about those who launched boats and calculated thelength of the year
b.should not neglect those who played a part in human socialdevelopment
c.should devote more space to describing truly great conquerors andsoldiers
d.should not make mention of killers and destroyers
57.In the author's opinion,the countries that have defeated and ruledover many others are--
a.obviously the greatest in many ways
b.neither the greatest nor the most civilized
c.probably the most civilized but not the greatest
d.perhaps the greatest in a way but not the most civilized
58.The author suggests that civilized people--
a.should not have any quarrels to settle
b.should be able to settle their disputes by getting other people tofight for them
c.should settle their quarrels peacefully
d.should be able to settle their disputes by killing as few people aspossible
59.The author's main objective in this passage is --
a.to state a fact b.to give a description c.to make an explanation d.to present a view
60.The statement"might is right"at the end of the passage may mean--
a.the winner is justified in killing
b.going to war is right
