Part III Reading Comprehension (52%)
Passage One:
In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to anything else on the
seas that it was called “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they provided lifeboats for only 950 of its 2,200 passengers.
Many passengers were aboard the night it ran into an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half way between England and the New York
destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was impossible to avoid the huge iceberg. A fire also contributed to the ship’s
submersion. Panic increased the number of casualties(伤亡) as people jumped into the water or fought to be among the few to board the lifeboats.
Four hours after the shipwreck, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the survivors---less than a third of those originally aboard.
The Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into 12,000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.
19. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The Titanic was the fastest ship afloat.
B. The Carpathia rescued the survivors.
C. The Titanic sank near Newfoundland.
D. Only a third of those aboard died in the accident in 1912.
20. Which of the following did NOT contribute to the large dearth toll(损失)?
A. Panic. B. Fire. C. Speed. D. Carpathia.
21. How many days was the Titanic at sea before sinking?
A. 2. B. 4. C. 6. D. 12.
22. The lifeboats had room for less than half of its passengers because ____.
A. the owners thought that lifeboats were useless and unnecessary for such a giant ship
B. the ship was considered to be sinkable
C. there were too many passengers on board the ship
D. the ship was the largest one in the world
23. Which of the following statements is true?

B. The tragedy occurred when the ship almost reached its destination.
C. The ship stuck an iceberg and sank during its first trop from England to New York.

Passage Two
About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked: "So, how have you been?" And the boy-who could not have been more than seven or eight years old -replied. "Frankly, I've been feeling a little depressed lately.''
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like
adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists, Why?
Human development is based not only on innate (天生的) biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from
one social rote to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years. however, a secret-revelation (揭示) machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television,
Television passes information, and indiscriminately (不加区分地), to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practices. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
24. According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A) a sure sign of a psychological problem in a child
B) something hardly to be expected in a young child
C) an inevitable has of children's mental development
D) a mental scale present in all humans, including children
25. Traditionally, a child is supposed to learn about the adult world ________.
A) through contact with society C) naturally and by biological instinct
B) gradually and under guidance D)through exposure to social information
26. The phenomenon that today’s children seem adultiike is attributed by the author to ________.
A) the widespread influence of television
B) the poor arrangement of teaching content
C) the fast pace of human intellectual development
D) the constantly rising standard of living
27. Why is the author in favor of communication through print for children?
A) It enables children to gain more social information.
B) It develops children's interest in reading and writing.
C) It helps children to memorize and practice more.
D) It can control what children are to learn.
28. What does the author think of the change in today’s children?
A) He feels amused by chair premature behavior.
B) He thinks it is a phenomenon worthy of note.
C) He considers it a positive development.
D) He seems to be upset about it.
