Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points, l for each)
Directions: There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.
Passage One
My surprise over the past few winters has been the personality transformation my parents go through around mid-December as they change from Dad and Mom into Grandpa and Grandma. Yes, they become grandparents and are completely different from the people I know the other eleven and a half months of the year.
The first sign of my parents' change is the delight they take in visiting toy and children's clothing stores. These two people, who usually dislike anything having to do with shopping malls, become crazy consumers. While they tell me to budget my money and shop wisely, they are buying up every, doll and dump truck in sight. And this is only the beginning of the holidays!
When my brother's children arrive. Grandpa and Grandma come into full form. First they throw out all ideas about a balanced diet for the grandkids. While we were raised in a house where everyone had to take two bites of corn, beets ( 甜菜 ) , or liver (foods that appeared quite often on our table despite constant complaining), the grandchildren never have to eat anything that does not appeal to them. Grandma carries chocolate in her pockets to bribe ( 贿赂 ) the littlest ones into following her around the house, while Grandpa offers "surprises" of candy and cake to them all day long. Boxes of chocolate-pie disappear while the whole wheat bread get hard and stale. The kids love all the sweets, and when the sugar raises their energy levels, Grandma and Grandpa can always decide to leave and do a bit more shopping or go to bed while my brother and sister-in-law try to deal with their highly active kids.
Once the grandchildren have arrived, Grandma and Grandpa also seem to forget all of the responsibility lectures I so often hear in my daily life. If Mickey screams at his sister during dinner, he is "developing his own personality"; if Nancy breaks Grandma's mirror, she is "just a curious child." But, if I track mud into the house while helping to unload groceries, I become "careless"; if I scold one of the grandkids for tearing pages out of my textbook, I am "impatient." If Paula talks back to her mother, Grandma and Grandpa smile at her spirit. If I say one word about all of this excessive love, Mom and Dad reappear to have a talk with me about petty jealousies.
36. As regards his parents' shopping for the grandchildren, the author ______.
A. feels jealous B. feels amazed
C. thinks it unnecessary D. thinks it annoying
37. What happens after the kids have had all the sweets?
A. They get highly energetic. B. They quiet down.
C. They want more sweets. D. They go to bed.
38. Which of the following is NOT true of the visiting children?
A. They behave very well.
B. They like chocolate very much.
C. They receive toys from their grandparents.
D. They are having a lot of fun.
39. It can be inferred from the passage that when the author was a child, he ______.
A. liked the foods he had
B. got a lot of pocket money
C. was spoiled by his parents
D. was scolded if he misbehaved
40. "Personality transformation" in the author's parents means that they ______.
A. have tamed into loving parents
B. have become strict parents

Passage Two
Children live in a world in which science has tremendous importance. During their lifetimes it will affect them more and more. In time, many of them will work at jobs that depend heavily on science. As voters, they will have a voice in making many decisions that involve science --for example, concerning energy sources, pollution control, highway safety, wilderness conservation, and population growth. As taxpayers they will pay for scientific research and exploration. And, as consumers, they will be bombarded (受到轰击) by advertising, much of which is said to be based on science.
Therefore, it is important that children, the citizens of the future, become functionally acquainted with science--with the process and spirit of science, as well as with its facts and principles. Fortunately, science has a natural appeal for youngsters. They can relate it to so many things that they encounter--flashlights, tools, echoes, and rainbows.
Besides, science is an excellent medium for teaching far more than content. It can help pupils learn to think logically, to organize and analyze ideas. It can provide practice in communication skills and mathematics. In fact, there is no area of the curriculum to which science cannot contribute, whether it be geography, history, language arts, music, or art!
Above all, good science teaching leads to what might be called a "scientific attitude." Those who possess it seek answers through observing, experimenting, and reasoning, rather than blindly accepting the pronouncements of others. They weigh evidence carefully and reach conclusions with caution. While respecting the opinions of others, they expect honesty, accuracy, and objectivity and are on guard against hasty judgments and sweeping generalizations. All children should be developing this approach to solving problems, but it cannot be expected to appear automatically with the mere acquisition of information. Continual practice, through guided participation, is needed.
41. One of the reasons why science is important for children is that many of them will______.
A. work in scientific research institutions
B. work at jobs closely related to science
C. make the final decision in matters concerning science
D. be fund-raisers for scientific research and exploration
42. There is no doubt that children like learning science because ______.
A. science is linked with many of the things they meet
B. science is a very easy subject for them to learn
C. they encounter the facts and principles of science daily
D. they are familiar with the process and spirit of science
43. Pupils can learn logical thinking while ______.
A. practising communication skills B. studying geography
C. taking art courses D. learning science
44. People with a scientific attitude ______.
A. are ready to accept the pronouncements of others
B. tend to reach conclusions with certainty
C. are aware that others are likely to make hasty judgments
D. seek truth through observation, experimentation and reasoning
45. In the passage the writer seems to ______.
A. prove that science is a successful course in school
B. point out that science as a course is now poorly taught in school
C. suggest that science should be included in the school curriculum
D. predict that children who learn science will be good scientists
Passage Three
The average number of authors on scientific papers is sky-rocketing. That's partly because labs are bigger, problems are more complicated, and more different subspecialties are needed. But it's also because U.S. government agencies have started to promote "team science." As physics developed in the post-World War II era, federal funds built expensive national facilities, and these served as surfaces on which collaborations could crystallize naturally.
Yet multiple authorship --- however good it may be in other ways --- presents problems for journals and for the institutions in which these authors work. For the journals, long lists of authors are hard to deal with in themselves. But those long lists give rise to more serious questions when something goes wrong with the paper. If there is research misconduct, how should the liability be allocated among the authors'? If there is an honest mistake in one part of the work but not in others, how should an evaluator aim his or her review?
Various practical or impractical suggestions hate emerged during the long-standing debate on this issue. One is that each author should provide, and the journal should then publish, an account of that author's particular contribution to the work. But a different view of the problem, and perhaps of the solution, comes as we get to university committees on appointments and promotions, which is where the authorship rubber really meets the road. Half a lifetime of involvement with this process has taught me how much authorship matters. I have watched committees attempting to decode sequences of names, agonize over whether a much cited paper was really the candidate's work or a coauthor's, and send back recommendations asking for more specificity about the division of responsibility.
Problems of this kind change the argument, supporting the case for asking authors to define their own roles. After all, if quality judgments about individuals are to be made on the basis of their personal contributions, then the judges better know what they did. But if questions arise about the validity of the work as a whole, whether as challenges to its conduct or as evaluations of its influence in the field, a team is a team, and the members should share the credit or the blame.
46. According to the passage, there is a tendency that scientific papers ______.
A. are getting more complicated
B. are dealing with bigger problems
C. are more of a product of team work
D. are focusing more on natural than on social sciences
47. One of the problems with multiple authorship is that it is hard ______.
A. to allocate the responsibility if the paper goes wrong
B. to decide on how much contribution each reviewer has made
C. to assign tile roles that the different authors are to play
D. to correspond with the authors when the readers feel the need to
48. According to the passage, authorship is important when ______.
A. practical or impractical suggestions of the authors are considered
B. appointments and promotions of the authors are involved
C. evaluators need. to review the publication of the authors
D. the publication of the authors has become much-cited
49. According to the passage, whether multiple authors of a paper should be taken collectively or individually depends on ______.
A. whether judgments are made about the paper or its authors
B. whether it is the credit or the blame that the authors need to share
C. how many authors are involved in the paper
D. where the paper has been published ______.
50. The best title for the passage can be ________.
A. Writing Scientific Papers: Publish or Perish
B. Collaboration and Responsibility in Writing Scientific Papers
C. Advantages and Disadvantages of Team Science
D. Multiple Authors, Multiple Problems
Passage Four
Diego Chiapello, legally blind since birth, isn't one of Italy's famous "mama's boys" who live with their parents into adulthood. The 27-year-old lives alone in Milan, works as a network administrator, loves diving and dreams of sailing across the Atlantic with a sight-impaired ( 有视力障碍的 ) crew.
Obviously, he's not your average disabled person--but especially so in Italy. The country has more barriers to integration than almost anywhere else on the Continent: among European countries, Italy ranks third from the bottom in accessibility for the disabled, ahead of only Greece and Portugal. People who use wheelchairs, especially, find it difficult to navigate the country's cobblestone (鹅卵石 )streets, ride buses or visit restaurants, shops and museums. Less than a quarter of Italy's disabled hold jobs, compared with 47 percent for Europe.
But the biggest obstacle for the country's physically challenged may, in fact, be the fabled Italian family. Because of the social defect that still attaches to disabilities, "they tend to keep disabled people at home" and out of public view, explains Giovanni Marri, head of an employment training center in Milan that caters to the handicapped. Thus while I5 percent of the country's families include a disabled person, according to surveys, only 2 percent of Italians report going to school with a disabled person and only 4 percent work with one.
Italians are beginning to recognize the problem. Over the past decade, the government has passed laws targeting everything from workplace discrimination to accessibility requirements. A recent study by the European Union found that 85 percent of Italians admit that public transportation and infrastructure ( 基础设施 ) are inadequate for the handicapped, and 97 percent say action is needed. But the biggest barrier is psychological. "Italian companies are afraid of hiring disabled people," says Chiapello. The only way to alter that, he says, is for Italy's disabled to do what he did--get out of the house and demand change.
51.Which of the following words best describes "mama's boys'"?
A. Ordinary. B. Optimistic.
C. Dependent. D. Desirable.
52. In this passage. Chiapello is cited as an example of ______.
A. unusual disabled Italians B. courageous blind sailors
C. typical handicapped people D. vulnerable disabled Europeans
53. In Italy, where are the disabled people most likely to be?
A. On the street. B. At home.
C. In school. D. At work.
54. Italy's general public will most probably agree that ______.
A. physical inadequacies are the biggest obstacle for the disabled
B. things should be done to remove the barriers against the disabled
C. workplace prejudices toward the disabled are hardly recognizable
D. disabled people should reduce the need of going to public places
55. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Italy has not done enough in aiding the disabled.
B. Italy's disabled people should get out of their houses.
C. Italian people have been blind to troubles of the disabled.
D. Italian ways of aiding the disabled should be encouraged.
Passage Five
What produces a waterproof super glue, acts like a vacuum cleaner, and even teaches scientists about gene repair? The humble little shellfish known as the mussel (贻贝)！
Mussels are found worldwide. Some live in the sea. Others inhabit freshwater streams and lakes. When you try to move a mussel from a rock, you will discover what an incredibly firm grip it has--a necessity if the mussel is to resist the sharp gab of a hungry seabird or the pounding waves of the sea. How does it manage to cling so tight? When it chooses a place to set up home, it pokes its tongue shaped foot out of its shell and presses it against a solid surface. Special glands give off a fluid mixture of proteins into a channel that runs the length of the foot. This liquid quickly hardens into a fine, elastic thread about an inch long. Then a tiny pad like structure at the end of this thread gives off some natural glue-like substance, the mussel lifts its foot, and anchor line number one is complete. These strategically placed threads form a bundle, which ties the mussel to its new home in much the same way that ropes hold down a tent. The whole procedure takes only three or four minutes.
Imagine having a very strong glue that is non-toxic and so flexible that it can penetrate the tiniest holes and corners, sticking to any surface, even under water. Shipbuilders would welcome it for repairing vessels without the expense of dry-docking them. Auto body workers would like a really waterproof paint that keeps the rust out. Surgeons would value a safe glue to join broken bones and to close wounds.... The list of possible uses appears endless.
However, scientists are not thinking of using the mussels themselves to produce this super glue. It would take some 10,000 shellfish to make just one gram of glue. So collecting enough mussels to supply the world's demand for super glue would wipe out the mussel population, many species of which are already endangered. Instead, American researchers have isolated and cloned the genes for five mussel glue proteins, and they are about to mass-produce them in the laboratory. However, the mussel is still one jump ahead. Only the mussel instinctively knows the exact blend of proteins needed for each kind of surface. Molecular biologist Frank Roberto has asked admiringly: "How are you ever going to imitate that?".
56. A mussel grips a hard surface very firmly to ______.
A. seal itself from being damaged by sea water
B. protect itself from being the food of other animals
C. protect itself from being blown away by strong wind
D. produce the waterproof super glue
57. The waterproof super glue originates in ______.
A. the mussel's tongue-shaped foot
B. the channel of the mussel's foot
C. the thread given off by the mussel
D. some glands in the mussel's body
58. To tie itself safely to a new home, a mussel must ______.
A. produce a thread to anchor to the hard surface
B. place many anchor lines strategically
C. hold down a tent as human beings do
D. draw air and water from its pad like structure
59. Scientists are not thinking of using mussels to produce the super glue mainly because of ______.
A. their concern about the extinction of the species
B. their concern about the cost of collecting mussels
C. the possible mass-production of the super glue
D. the world's limited demand for the super glue
60.The main idea of this passage is that ______.
A. mussels can be used to produce super glue
B. mussels have an amazing power useful to man
C. it is important to protect mussels
D. mussels are much smarter than we think

In recent years a new farming revolution has begun, one that involves the 61 of life at a fundamental level--the gene. The study of genetics has 62 a new industry called biotechnology.

If such goals could be achieved, it would be most 67 . But some have raised concerns about genetically engineered crops.
In nature, genetic diversity is created within certain 68 . A rose can be crossed with a different kind of rose, but a rose will never cross with a potato. Genetic engineering, 69 . usually involves taking genes from one species and inserting them into another 70 to transfer a desired characteristic.

Like the green revolution, 74 some call the gene revolution contributes to the problem of genetic uniformity some say even more so 75 geneticists can employ techniques such as cloning and 76 culture (培养) , processes that produce perfectly 77 copies. Concerns about the erosion of biodiversity, therefore, remain. Genetically altered plants, however, raise new 78 , such as the effects that they may have on us and the environment.

After reading this instructive story, we can learn that there is no goal, there is no life, and we should set new goals for life in different periods of life. Otherwise a sad story such as the disabled man mentioned in the story would happen. Only with the renewed goals, we can improve ourselves step by step, and make our life more colorful and meaningful.
Certainly, everyone has his own goal of life. I have mine too. My goal is to become a famous surgeon. I’ll work hard to achieve this goal by learning and practicing more, so that I can make myself more knowledgeable and skillful, and use them to benefit my patients. If I have achieved this goal, I would set up a new one. Then, I’ll do my best to achieve it.
Therefore, everyone should set different goals in different periods of life, and try his best to achieve it. In this way, we will live happily.
