三、Reading ComprehensionDirections: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

1.Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the worlds largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns. The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian Nation. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called "the Council Room, " many Indian artifacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery , arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry. For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water. Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.
The Lost Sea is unique because it is______.

A．part of a historical cave system
B．the biggest underground lake in the world
C．listed in the Guinness Book of World Records
D．the largest body of water in Tennessee

2.The Craighead Caverns have been known______.

A．through history
B．since the time of the Indian Nations
C．since 1905
D．since divers explored them

3.Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?

A．The Cherokee Indians.
B．Tourists.
C．Ben Sands.
D．Scientists.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as______.

A．a(chǎn)n underground testing site
B．a(chǎn)n Indian meeting ground
C．a(chǎn) tourist attraction
D．a(chǎn) motor boat race course

5.Human needs seem endless. They might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is enough money to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears. The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War II , these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the "life-enriching" level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety , and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing. On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when______.

A．he has saved up enough money
B．he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter
C．he has satisfied his hunger
D．he has learned to build houses

A．were very rich
B．lived in poverty
C．did not own automobiles
D．had own automobiles

7.What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?

A．The more goods the better.
B．The more "luxury" items the better.
C．The more mental satisfaction the better.
D．The more earnings the better.

8.The author tends to think that the fifth level______.

A．would be little better than the fourth level
B．may be a lot more desirable than the first four
C．can be the last and most satisfying level
D．will become attainable before the government takes actions

9.It was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldnt wake her mother, so she dialed "zero". An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided. Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points. Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned. Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town. Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency. If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, Box 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.
Based on this passage, over-learning is good because______.

A．simple information is used
B．children should know their names

11.One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is______.

A．call your neighbor
B．practice several times
C．teach children how to use the telephone
D．have children memorize some simple facts

12.What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Give instructions on calling for help.
B．Partly-learned information is useless.
C．Teach children how to deal with emergencies.
D．Keep what children learn within their abilities.

13.Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea". Before the nineteenth century scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans?"had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile(起伏形狀)of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured. It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings(測水深)were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea. The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition(考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.
The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on______.

A．a(chǎn)n academic aspect
B．a(chǎn) military aspect
C．a(chǎn) business aspect
D．a(chǎn)n international aspect

14.It was______that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.

A．the American Navy
B．some early intercontinental travelers
C．those who earned a living from the sea
D．the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable

15.The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was______.

A．to make some sounding experiments in the oceans
B．to collect samples of sea plants and animals
C．to estimate the length of cable that was needed
D．to measure the depths of the two oceans

16.This passage is mainly about_____.

A．the beginnings of oceanography
B．the laying of the first undersea cable
C．the investigation of ocean depths
D．the early intercontinental communications

17.The small number of newborn babies, which has been caused by high prices and the changing social situation of women, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When people talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan, "DINKS" , which means Double Income No Kids. In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and Tokyo, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $ 300, 000(though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedroom, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. Whats more, if they want to have a child, the childs education is very expensive. For example, most kindergarten charges are at least $ 5, 000 a year. In such a situation, its difficult to afford children. The number of married women who want to continue working increases rapidly because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Though most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a short time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to give up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mothers to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working have to choose between having children or keeping their jobs. In a word, Asian governments must take steps to improve the present situation as soon as possible.
What is the main problem being discussed in the passage?

A．The small number of newborn babies.
B．The changing social situation of women.
C．The high prices of houses and education.

A．It is easy for a couple to afford a child in Asia.
B．The prices of houses in Asia are quite low now.
C．Fewer and fewer married women want to have a job.
D．The word "DINKS" first appeared in an Asian country.

19.To buy a flat and send a child to kindergarten, how much will a couple pay each year?

A.$ 5,000.
B.$ 5,900.
C.$ 10,800.
D.$ 15,800.
