Ⅳ Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

I get a lot of letters at this time of year from people complaining that they have a cold which won't go away. There are so many different stories about how to prevent or cure a cold; it's often difficult to know what to do. Although colds are rarely dangerous, except for people who are already weak, such as the elderly or young babies, they are always uncomfortable and usually most unpleasant. Of course you can buy lots of medicines which will help to make your cold less unpleasant, but you must remember that nothing can actually cure a cold or make it go away any faster. Another thing is that any medicine which is strong enough to make you feel better could be dangerous if you are already taking drags for some other illness, so always check with your chemist or doctor to see whether they are all right for you. And remember they might make you sleepy. Please don't try to drive if they do! Lastly, as far as avoiding colds, the best answer is to keep strong and healthy--you'll have less chance of catching a cold, and if you do, it should not be so bad.

1. Where might this passage come from?

A.A doctor's notebook.
B.A diary.
C.A magazine:
D.A school biology book.

No one knows exactly how many disabled people there are in the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada.
In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other people. As we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight.
Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The longer time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by people's attitude towards them.
Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.

1. The first paragraph points out that ______ .

A.it is possible to get an exact figure of the world's disabled people
B.there are many disabled people in the world
C.the number of disabled people in India is the greatest
D.India has not much more disabled people than Canada

A B C D

2. The key word in Paragraph 4 is ______ .

A.barriers
B.ignorance
C.disability
D.prejudice

A B C D

3. The last word of the passage "counts" most probably means ______ .

A."is most important"
B."is included"
C."is considered"
D."is numbered"

A B C D

4. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? ______ .

A.There are about 10 percent disabled persons in the UK.
B.The whole society should pay due attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.
C.Even the able-bodied may lose some of their body functions when they get older.
D.There still exists prejudice against the disabled which results mainly from ignorance.

A B C D

5. It can be concluded from the passage that ______ .

A.we should try our best to prevent disablement
B.we must take a proper attitude towards the disabled
C.the able-bodied people will never fully understand the disabled
D.both physical and mental barriers are hard to break down

A B C D

Like the body, the memory improves with use. Unlike the body, the memory can improve with age.
For many years, doctors have been studying the way the brain works. We all know that the brain has two sides, the left and the right. The right side controls the senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling), and is the creative and imaginative side. The left side of the brain controls our logical thinking. It processes the information which comes in, and puts it into order. We call the left side the "educated" side of the brain and generally, in western societies, people have developed this side of the brain more than the right side.
Scientists believe that our brain will work much more efficiently if both the right side and the left side are developed equally. In many schools today, teachers try to educate the children in such a way that both sides of the brain are used. This can be done with logical subjects including mathematics and science as well as with creative subjects such as art and literature. The result achieved by students who are educated in this way is usually better than the result of students who are educated in a more traditional way. Traditional teaching tends to exercise the left side of the brain without paying very much attention to the development of the right side.
Great thinkers such as Bertand Russell the philosopher, and Albert Einstein, the scientist, only in their work, but also in creative and imaginative activities. It was because of their many different interests in life that they were able to achieve the full development of both sides of their brain.
As long as Einstein and Russell lived, their brains functioned efficiently. It was their bodies, finally, which could not go on any longer.

1. The left side of the brain controls______.

A.the senses
B.the right side
C.logical thinking
D.the action

2. The right side of the brian ______.

D.is usually developed as well as the left side in western society

A B C D

参见句子：We call the left side the "educated" side of the brain and generally,in western societies，people have developed this side of the brain more than the right side．

3. The brain works much more efficiently when______.

A.both sides of the brain are used equally
B.the left side is fully developed
C.scientists work on it
D.the right side is fully developed

A B C D

参见第三段第一句。

4. Einstein and Russell died when______.

In 1807 Noah Webster began his greatest work, An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the work, he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages, and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828, An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority (权威) for usage in the United States. Webster's purpose in writing it was to show that the American language was developing distinct meanings, pronunciations, and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing simplified spelling forms: "develop" instead of the British form "develope"; "theater" and "center" instead of "theatre" and "centre"; "color" and "honor" instead of "colour" and "honour".

A.1817.
B.1807.

Although no one is Certain why migration occurs, there are several theories. One theory is based upon the premise that prehistoric birds of the northen Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age, when glaciers covered large parts of Europe, Asia, and North America. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter In time, the migration became a habit, and now, although the glaciers have disappeared, the habit continues.
Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.
A more recent theory, known as photoperiodism, suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands in the birds bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.

1. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds ______.

A.stopped migrating
B.continued migrating
C.began migrating again
D.migrated south and stay there

A B C D

2. The author states that birds left the tropics because ______.

3. Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?

A.To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds.
B.To test the relationship between daylight and migration.
C.To test the relationship between migration and temperature.
D.To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season.

A B C D

4. According to the theory of photoperiodism, ______.

A.birds should migrate in the middle of the winter
B.longer days cause changes in the bodies of birds
C.seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migration
D.increasing daylight increases the distance of migration
