Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each. passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A) ,B) , C)and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Auctions (拍卖) are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd to gather in the auction room to bid for various items on sale. He encourages buyers to bid higher figures and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called "knocking down" the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a raised platform. The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction and the English word comes from the Latin "antic", meaning "" increase". The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war; these sales were called "sub hanta", meaning "under the spear", a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries goods were often sold "by the candle"; a short candle was lit by the auctioneer and bids could be made while it was burning. Practically all goods can be sold by auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and works of art. The auction rooms at Christie's and Sotheby's in London and New York are world-famous. An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by the buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a "lot", is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with lot one and continue the numerical order; he may wait until he notices the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer's services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding.
3. In the sentence "The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war," the word "spoils" most probably means____________
A.useless goods
B.spears
C.various kinds of food
D.property taken from the enemy
A B C D
D

There are some 65 species of New World monkeys. Many of these have a very useful anatomical adaptation lacking in their old world counterparts: that curious “fifth hand", the prehensile tail. And in a few species the gripping tail has developed to such an extent that it actually has "fingerprints" on the tip. While of course a tail is not equipped with fingers , it can sometimes be even more useful than an arm or a leg. A spider monkey’s tail, for instance, is longer than its head and body combined, and is frequently used instead of a hand to grasp distant objects. Other monkeys less fortunate are forced to relegate at least one limb to support while they feed, whereas monkeys endowed with prehensility can hang by their tails while they feast with both hands and feet. A few New World monkeys have also evolved arms and shoulders that are suitable for swinging hand over hand through the trees like the Asiatic gibbons.
6. The passage mainly discusses_______
A.certain evolutionary advantages of New World monkeys
B.feeding habits of the spider monkey
C.the development of arms and shoulders in New World monkeys
8. In the second sentence, the word "their" refers to_______
A.New World monkeys
B.Old World monkeys
C.spider monkeys
D.Asiatic gibbons

A.The length of their tails.
B.Their mating habits.
C.The ability to grip with their feet.
D.Their upper body structure.
A B C D
D
[解析] 从文中可以推断出亚洲的猩猩和一种美洲猴在哪方面相似? [试题分析]本题是一道细节题。 [详细解答]这道题的答案在最后一句。考生注意了“have also evolved arms and shoulders”一句，arms and shoulders也就是“upper body structure”。
10. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the information in the passage?
A.Some monkeys use their hands to grasp objects.
B.A spider monkey has a very long tail.
C.A prehensile tail has fingers.
D.Asiatic gibbons can swing through trees.
A B C D
C
[解析] 据文中的信息，下列哪种说法不正确? [试题分析]本题是一道综合判断题。 [详细解答]这道题要求考生通读全文，A、B、D三项是文中提到的，而c正与文中“While 0f course a tail is not equipped with fingers…”相反，所以C是不正确的。
Baltimore was founded in 1729. For a generation it seemed no different from a dozen other settlements springing up at the head of the Chesapeake Bay ; its claim to distinction consisted of a black smith's shop, flour mill, and tobacco warehouse. Yet Baltimore was fated for a more dynamic future than its slow beginnings seemed to portend. Spurred by an agricultural revolution in the Maryland and Pennsylvania country sides as well as dramatic disruptions in the Atlantic economy, Baltimore at mid century began to boom. By 1790 it had risen to become the new republic’s fourth largest city with aspirations to overtake the three still ahead: New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. Although the Baltimore of the Jeffersonian are looked "utterly unlike the colonial village from which it had emerged, the two shared more than might be apparent at first glance. Baltimore’s economy had expanded tremendously, to be sure. but the same forces that sparked expansion around 1750 continued to sustain it fifty years later. Despite the establishment of new governments at the state level in 1776, national level in 1788, and municipal level in 1797, the same festering issues continued to convulse its politics. If Baltimore had become richer and bigger, its occupational structure, wealth distribution, and residential patterns would have withstood the pressures of growth and looked about the same in 1790 as in 1812. In other words, beneath the frenzied and seemingly chaotic pace of urbanization, Baltimore enjoyed a strong element of stability. For in 1812, no less than in 1729, Baltimore was a preindustrial town.
Section B Directions: In this section there are four passages with a total of four multiple-choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answer on your answer sheet.
Passage 1
1. Today’s discussion is about a common animal reaction the yawn. The dictionary defines a yawn as "an involuntary reaction to fatigue or boredom. “That’s certainly true for human yawns, but not necessarily for animal yawns. The same action can have quite different meanings in different species. For example, some animals yawn to intimidate intruders on their territory. Fish and lizards are examples of this. Hippos use yawns when they want to settle a quarrel. Observers have seen two hippos yawn at each other for as long as two hours before they stop quarreling. As for social animals like baboons or lions, they yawn to establish the pecking order within social groups, and lions often yawn to calm social tensions. Sometimes these animals yawn for a strictly physiological reason that is, to increase oxygen levels. And curiously enough, when they yawn for a physical reason like that, they do what humans do--they try to stifle the yawn by looking away or by covering their mouths.What is the writer’s main point?
A.Animals yawn for a number of reasons.
B.Yawning results only from fatigue or boredom.
C.Human yawns are the same as those of other animals.
1. In Pakistan the role of women is changing. Although wearing traditional clothing and staying at home used to be the rule, today many women are going into professions, such as medicine, law, and engineering. They comprise a large part of the workers in business and factories, and in addition, they are working up to important jobs which used to be held predominantly by men. There are even some businesses which are run completely by women. However, they still run up against roadblocks since many government jobs are closed to them, and certain jobs are not considered honorable for women. In general, they feel they are more liberated now and have an alternative to their old way of life.The main idea of the passage is
A.women in Pakistan are liberated totally
B.women in Pakistan are entering men' s world
C.women in Pakistan should wear traditional clothes and stay at home
D.women in Pakistan are running some business completely
1. First aid may be defined as the immediate and temporary care given to a victim of an accident or serious illness until the supersedes of a physician can be obtained. First aid commences with the steadying effect upon the stricken person when he realizes that competent hands will help him. The emergency situation often causes confusion in the mind of the victim, things seem unreal and remote, and he often cannot think clearly and rationally for some time. The emotional reaction which results from a serious accident takes time to subside. Therefore, first aid is more than the physical attention dressing his injuries or making him comfortable. It is the general mental effect that the well - selected word of encouragement, the expression of willingness to help, the uplifting effect of the first aider' s evident capability can be given. The thoughtful for suggestions made to solve immediate problems, the information given concerning nearby physicians and hospitals, the telephone call to summon medical help or an ambulance or to notify a relative, these too are first aid. The good first aider deals with the whole situation, the person and the injury. He knows what not to do as well as to do. Thus, he avoids the error so commonly made through well meant but misguided efforts. He confines his procedures to what is necessary, keeping the handling of injured parts to a minimum.Which statement is true about first aid?
A.It usually makes the services of a doctor unnecessary.

Section B Directions: In the part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words) Icebergs are among nature's most spectacular creations, and yet most people have never seen one. A vague air of mystery envelops them. They come into being - somewhere - in faraway, frigid waters, amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence, which in most cases no one hears or sees. They exist only a short time and then slowly waste away just as unnoticed. Objects of sheerest beauty, they have been called. Appearing in an endless variety of shapes, they may be dazzlingly white, or they may be glassy blue, green or purple, tinted faintly or in darker hues. They are graceful, stately, inspiring in calm, sunlit seas. But they are also called frightening and dangerous, and that they are -in the night, in the fog, and in storms. Even in clear weather one is wise to stay a safe distance away from them. Most of their bulk is hidden below the water, so their underwater parts may extend out far beyond the visible top. Also, they may roll over unexpectedly, churning the waters around them. Icebergs are parts of glaciers that break off, drift into the water, float about awhile, and finally melt. Icebergs afloat today are made of snowflakes that have fallen over long ages of time. They embody snows that drifted down hundreds, or many thousands, or in some cases maybe a million years ago. The snows fell in polar regions and on cold mountains, where they melted only a little or not at all, and so collected to great depths over the years and centuries. As each year’s snow accumulation lay on the surface, evaporation and melting caused the snowflakes slowly to lose their feathery points and become tiny grains of ice. When new snow fell on top of the old, it too turned to icy grains. So blankets of snow and ice grains mounted layer upon layer and were of such great thickness that the weight of the upper layers compressed the lower ones. With time and pressure from above, the many small ice grains joined and changed to larger crystals, and eventually the deeper crystals merged into a solid mass of ice.
