Part III Reading Comprehension (2 x20)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete sentences. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage 1

More and more around the world are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure--those who have climbed the highest mountains, searched into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place 200 meters above the ground with a rope tied to your feet. You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground.

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some people suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and uninteresting. But in the past, they had to go out and hunt for food, and diseases could not easily be cured.

Nowadays, life offers little excitement. They live and work in safe conditions, they buy food in shops and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

( )61. According to the passage more and more people around the world today_____.

A. are taking part in games that are very safe

B. are aware of the risk of some activities

C. are trying dangerous activities for excitement

D. are looking for ways of showing their courage

( )62. Bungee jumping is an activity that you_____.

A. jump down to the ground without holding to a rope

B. fasten yourself to a rope and fall from a great height

C. jump up as high as you can

D. move down a rope to the ground

( )63. Many people take part in sports with the purpose of _____.

A. getting healthier

B. losing weight

C. entertaining themselves

D. seeking adventure

Passage 2

The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single-engined plane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter failed and she didn't know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged into the sea. 

Just before dawn, there was further trouble, Amelia noticed flames coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.

Passage 3

The Winter Olympics are also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.

During the 4th Winter Games a group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five rings of Olympics were sewn(縫制)on the front of the sportswear. It was the first time that the rings appeared on the stamps of the Whited Olympics.

In the 1950s, the stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host countries as well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China also published four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics.

Passage 4

Be aware of those who use the truth to cheat. When someone tells you something that is true,but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say,“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and changed it for one hundred dollars!”

This guy’s a winner, right? maybe,or maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately left out some important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as not honest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this strategy. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!”That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. 

This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

( )76. In which of the following situations is a person telling a half-truth?

A. When somebody is telling a white lie.

B. When somebody is making up information.

C. When somebody is saying something that is wrong.

D. When somebody is intentionally leaving out important information.

( )77. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. advertisers always make false claims

B. advertisements can be misleading due to partial information

C. Yucky pills are effective in curing nose pimples

D. the Yucky Corporation has a bad reputation for its drug

( )78. The underlined word “deception”(Para.6)is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. dishonesty

B. suggestion

C. situation

D. failure

( )79. The author clearly wants people to ______.

A. think carefully about what they read and hear

B. be firm supporters of a particular candidate in political campaigns

C. never place their trust in lottery winners

D. vote for female candidates in political campaigns

( )80. An appropriate title for this passage would be ______.

A. It Pays to Be Honest

B. Everyone Lies

C. Lying with the Truth

D. An Important Tactic in Advertising
