Part III Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Passage 1

In 1960-1961,Chad(乍得)harvested 9800 tons of cotton seed for the first time in its history, and put out the flag a little too soon. The efforts of the authorities to get the peasants ‘back’ to work, as they had slacked off (松懈) a great deal the previous year during independence celebrations, largely contributed to it. Also, rains were well spaced, and continued through the whole month of October. If the 1961-1962 total is back to the region of 45000tons, it is mostly because efforts slackened again and sowing was started too late.

The average date of sowing is about July 1st. If this date is simply moved up fifteen or twenty days, 30000 to 60000 tons of cotton is gained, depending on the year. The peasant in Chad sows his millet(小米)first ,and it is hard to criticize this instinctive priority given to his ‘daily bread’. An essential reason for his lateness with sowing cotton is that at the time when he should leave to prepare the fields he has just barely sold the cotton is that at the time when he should leave to prepare the fields he has just barely sold the cotton of the previous season. The work required to sow, in great heat, is psychologically far more difficult if one’s pockets are full of money .The date of cotton sales should therefore be moved forward as much as possible, and purchases of equipment and draught animals encouraged.

Peasants should also be encouraged to save money, to help them through the difficult period between harvests. If necessary they should be forced to do so ,by having the payments for cotton given to them in installments(分期付款).The last payment would be made after proof that the peasant has planted before the deadline ,the date being advanced to the end of June .Those who have done so would receive extra money whereas the last planters would not receive their last payment until later.

Only the first steps are hard, because once work has started the peasants continue willingly on their way .Educational campaigns among the peasants will play an essential role in this basic advance. Each peasant will remain master of his fields. One could, however, suggest the need for the time being of kind but firm rule, which, as long as it cannot be realized ‘by the people’, should at least be ‘for the people’.

41. In 1960-1961, Chad had a good harvest of cotton because_________.

A .the government greatly encouraged peasants

B. rains favored the growth of cotton

C. Chad gained independence in the previous year

D. both A and B

42. We learn from the passage that date of sowing cotton is usually_________.

A. on June 15th

B. on July 15th

C. on July 1st

D. on July 20th

43. As used in the third sentence of the second paragraph ,“daily bread” refers to________.

A. breakfast B. bread and butter C. rice D. millet

44. In order to help them through difficult time between harvests the peasants have to_________.

A. sell cotton in advance B. be encouraged to save money

C. sow cotton in time D. plant millet first

45. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Educational campaigns are very important to early sowing.

B. Of all the advances that the writer hopes for, early sowing is the most important.

C. Peasants should remain the masters of their fields.

D. Government might as well make good and firm rule for peasants.

Passage 2

Dream is a story that a person watches or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to experiences and needs in the dreamer’s life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.

Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.

Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life.

People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. But persons who have been blind since do not see at all in dreams.

Dreams are a product of the sleeper’s mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than two days old turn up. Deep wishes or fears—especially those held since childhood---often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfill such wishes. Events in the sleeper’s surrounding---a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.

Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists (精神病医生) often use material from a patient’s dreams to help the person understand himself better.

Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep---but are awakened each time they begin to dream---become anxious and restless.

Passage 3

According to psychologists (心理学家), an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him, we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it, we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person’s thoughts.

Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act in certain situations because of an emotion.

Psychologists think that there are two types of emotion: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are aroused by something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair sadness, and disgust. In growing—up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.

Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, the person may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion.

Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.

51. We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something _________.

A. one thinks bad or good

B. one feels in danger

C. one faces in the outside world

D. one tries to escape from real life

B. Babies are born with emotions.

C. Emotions fall into two types in general.

53. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to __________.

A. explain why people have emotions

B. show how people avoid the negative emotions

C. explain what people should do before emotions

D. define and classify people’s emotions

54. We can safely conclude that a student may fail in an exam if ________.

A. he can not think properly

B. he pay much attention to it

C. he is worried about failing

D. he is not full of energy

55. As used in the last sentence, the word “drains ” means __________.

A. stops B. ties C. weakens D. flows gradually

Passage 4

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique, Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child or even an animal, such as a pigeon can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.

We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.

Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a nice face looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a nice person, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm and forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to type each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s (坏人) or the hero’s role. In fact, the words person and personality come from the Latin persona, meaning mask. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guys from the bad guys because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

56. The main idea of this passage is ________.

A. how to distinguish people’s faces

B. how to describe people’s personality

C. how to distinguish people both inward and outward

D. how to differ good persons from bad persons

57. The author is most probably a __________.

A. behaviorist B. psychologist C. writer D. sociologist

58. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Different people may have different personalities.

B. People differ from each in appearance.

C. People can learn to recognize faces.

D. People can describe all the features of others.

59. We learn from the passage that people classify a person into certain type according to ________.

A. a person’s face is more complex than his personality

B. a person’s personality is easily distinguished

C. people’s personalities are very alike

D. many words are available when people try to describe one’s personality

60. We learn form the passage that people classify a person into certain type according to ________.

A. his way of acting and thinking

B. his way of speaking and behaving

C. his learning and behavior

D. his physical appearance and his personality
