Reading Comprehension: 15% (A) Most Americans don’t like to get advice from members of their family. When they need advice, they don’t usually ask people they know. Instead, many Americans write letters to newspapers and magazines which give advice on many different subjects, including family problems, the use of language, health, cooking, child care, clothes, and how to buy a house or a car. Most newspapers regularly print letters from readers with problems. Along with the letters there are answers written by people who are supposed to know how to solve such problems. Some of these writers are doctors, others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers are women without special training for this kind of work. One of them answers letters addressed to “Dear Abby.” The other is addressed as “Dear Ann Landers.” Experience is their preparation for giving advice. There is one writer who has not lived long enough to have much experience. She is a girl named Angel Cavaliere, who started writing advice for newspaper readers at the age of ten. Her advice to young readers now appears regularly in the Philadelphia Bulletin (费城大公报) in a column(专栏) called DEAR ANGEL. 71. Most Americans like to get advice from __________. A. their family members B. their friends C. their teachers and doctors D. strangers 72. Usually they need advice on __________. A. family problems and the use of language B. cooking, health, child care and clothes C. family problems, the use of language, health, cooking child care, clothes and how to buy a house or a car D. many different subjects 73. The answers will be printed __________. A. without the letters B. together with the letters C. except the letters D. on the letters 74. The two women writers are famous because __________. A. they are specialists(专家) by training B. they have much experience C. women writers are popular among readers D. they always make full preparations for giving advice 75. Angel Cavaliere is __________. A. a girl who has been dead for a long time B. a young girl who is still living C. a girl who is only ten D.a girl who enjoys reading newspapers (B) Some people think computers are brighter than humans because, for example,a computer can solve many maths problems millions of times faster. But you can recognize (认出) your friend’s face among photos of hundreds of children in your school, and no computer can do that. And you know when a joke is funny, and no computers know that. A computer does some things very well, but other things a computer cannot do at all. It doesn’t make sense to say that a computer is brighter or more stupid than a person. A computer just does things differently. In a way, a computer knows only two things: yes and no. An electric circuit(电路) is either open or closed, yes or no. All the information that is fed into a computer is translated into two signs: 0 or 1. Every number and every letter is coded in zeros and ones. To the computer, “0” means“off”,“1” means “on”. All decisions are either 0 or 1, yes or no-never maybe. A great many yes/no or off/on circuits can fit into a small space. In a tiny space of the size of your fingernail(指甲), a computer can have more than a million of these circuits. As a computer does its work, each of these circuits opens and closes thousands of times a second. But your brain has many more nerve cells(神经细胞)than a computer has circuits. A human brain has about 100, 000 million nerve cells! And they interact(相互作用) with each other in ways even the most powerful computer in the world cannot. 76. A computer __________ when a joke is told to it. A. can neither understand nor laugh B. understands but cannot laugh C. can understand and laugh D. cannot understand but can laugh 77. “It doesn’t make sense to say that a computer is brighter….” Here “make sense” means “__________.” A. say something meaningful B. have a clear meaning C. make mistakes D. say something wrong 78. It is correct to say a computer knows __________. A. how to add “0” to “1” only B. “yes” and “no” besides “never” C. only two numbers, “0” and “1” D. only “0” and “1” because everything would appear on the screen as ones and zeros 79. In a computer, there are __________. A. a great many tiny spaces B. a great many: “yes” and “no” C. a great many circuits D. a great many seconds 80. A human brain __________. A. has more circuits than a computer B. has millions of nerve cells that work better than electric circuits C. has better circuits than a computer D. has a great number of nerve cells and each cell seems like a circuit (C) Most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, it’s a chance in a million. People have made a census(普查) to colours of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different coloured lights. The wave length of each light is different, so the quantity(总量)of heat in each light is also different. Flowers are easy to be harmed by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can hardly survive(幸存于) sunlight. But the red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themselves from sunlight by reflecting(反射) the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat. 81. After reading the passage you may realize that it is __________ to see a black flower. A. impossible B. seldom C. common D. no chance 82. The underlined word “them” in the second paragraph refers to __________. A. kinds B. colours C. flowers D. a million 83. The passage tells us that __________. A. black flowers are so weak that it is difficult for them to grow up B. there are only eight black flowers in nature C. sunlight is formed by seven different coloured lights, so the wave length of each light is different D.black flowers can take in the light of all the wave lengths which make them dry up because of high temperature 84. Which of the following ideas is wrong? A. People have found that only a few kinds of flowers are black. B. Flowers are easy to be harmed by very high temperature. C. Red, orange and yellow flowers can also take in the light of all wave lengths. D. The black flowers cannot protect themselves from sunlight. 85. The red, orange or yellow light __________. A. has less heat than the other lights B. has more heat than the other lights C. also has a great deal of heat D. has a little heat V.
