Part II Reading Comprehension (40 Points)

Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each o f the passages is followed by 5questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on theANSWER SHEET.

Passage One

A few centuies ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky. About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky, they dreamed of falling from the sky!

In the 15thcentury, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped(錐形) device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with a straps strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落傘).

Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of pyramid(金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper and no one tested them.

A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65years old, he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Straping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell tower in his city. He landed safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some other people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.

16. The first known parachute was designed by ______.

A. Frenchman B. Italian C. Croatians D. Englishmen

17. Leonardo da Vinci’s parachute was shaped like a ______.

A. coneB. feather C. pyramid D. sail

18. Which of the following is about Fausto Veranzio is true?

A. He copied da Vinci’s parachute design.

B. He made his parachute with feather and wood.

C. He experimented with his parachute many times.

D. He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.

19. As for the first man who successfully used a parachute, ______.

A. it was said to be Leonardo da Vinci

B. we know for sure he was Veranzio

C. there were some historical records

D. we don’t know for sure yet

20. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the origin of the parachute

B.The dreams of flying and falling

C. the courage of dropping from the sky

D. the application of parachute invention

Passage Two

Out of all the students who enroll in a massive open online course(MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed(缺陷的)and offer little educational value to most students. Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we look at these two facts?

We’re used to focusing on completion rates in higher education, but they’re not the only-or even the most meaningful – indicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out, and little reward for actually earning a certificate, MOOCs are fundamentally different from traditional calssess – and students use them in fundamentally different ways.

Data from more than 1.8 million students erolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs like a buffet (自助餐), sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peers around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one vedio, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.

So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOCCs is misguided.

The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.

21. What do we learn about MOOCs from Para.1?

A. There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs.

B. It turns out that MOOCs have failed people’s expectations.

C. Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOcs.

D. The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged.

22. In Para.2, the author stresses ______.

A. the primary objective of MOOC students

B. the significance of competion rates in education

C. the strengths and weakness of open online courses

D. the differences between MOOCc and trditional classes

23. According to Para. 3, students choose MOOCs for the following reasons EXCEPT ______.

A. earning a certificate

B. improving job-related skills

C. meeting their interest in the subjects

D. exchanging ideas with students worldwide

24. The sentence “students treat MOOCs as a buffet” (Para.3) ______.

A. emphasizes the core value of MOCCs

B. demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCd

C. indicates students are free to choose MOOC resources

D. explains what students learn from MOOC courses

25. What is the author’s attitude toward MOOCs?

Passage Three

Whether you are hiking through徒步the magnificent redwoods of Northern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, expecting the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling, and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inexpensive, and available to almost every one. Let’s go camping.

When you camp, you create a “home away from home” in the fresh air. You don’t need a lot of fency equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure you are familiar with the process before you go camping.

Once you find a good site, it’s time to set up tent. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp (防水帆布) over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down firmly, even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away.

Next, you’ll need some firewood for a campfire. If gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. If gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in a good supply of wood for your campsite, pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches.

Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire. Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be safe!

26. As is suggested by the aurhor, you should practice setting up your tent ______.

A. before the weather turns bad

B. before your first camping up

C. after having selected your campsite

D. once you have decided where to go

27. What is the first thing you should do after choosing a campsite?

A. Gather firewood.

B. Spread a tarp on the ground.

C. Set up the tent.

D. Remove sticks and rocks from the tent area.

28. You can gather firewood only ______.

A. after you are sure that it is permitted

B. after you are certain that no one will get hurt

C. if there is no camp store nearby

D. if firewood is out of stock in a camp store

29. The last thing you should do before leaving your campsite is ______.

A. burn all the trash

B. clean the campsite

C. pour water on the ashes

D. collect all the rubbish

30. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. safety measures a camper should take

B. problems you may face as a camper

C. what you need to know about camping

D. what you need to bring along for camping

Passage Four

Every country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways – by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone, by planting microphongs to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.

For most of my career I worked in one of the UK’s three intelligence services, MIS, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Gold War, when the war was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union(前蘇聯(lián)) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Gold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other’s countries.

Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world, comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many differenct countries are working together to find out who they are., where they are and what they are planning. Today’s MIS officers get their intelligence in much the same way as we did during the Gold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists want to kill people. Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them.

31. What is the first paragraph mainly about?

A. The tasks of intelligence agencies.

B. The contributions of intelligence agencies.

C. The equipment used by intelligence agents.

D. The recruitment of intelligence agents.

32. The biggest security threats for Britain in the 1970s were from ______.

A. international terrorists

B. the Soviet Union and its allies

C. major criminals within the country

D. agents working for both camps

33. What is true about the Gold War?

A. Both camps were planning to start a war.

B. It was a war fought with advanced weapons.

C. No fierce clash broke out during the period.

D. It is not regarded as an intelligence war.

34. MIS officers’ task is more urgent today in that ______.

A. terrorists are more difficult to find than spies

B. most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing people

C. terrorist attacks happen more frequently than before

D. it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack

35. The best title for the passage might be “ ______ ”.

A. Ways of Gathering Intelligence

B. National Defense Against All Threats

C. Which Is More Threatening: Terrorists Or Spies?

D. What We Do As Intelligence Officers
