Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points, 1 for each)Directions: There are five 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. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.Passage One However important we may regard school life to be, there is no gain saying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and thwart curricular objectives. Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing, and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The many interviews carried on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils' progress can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home. To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate his natural paternal interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a yardstick or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip, and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis. If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics and, at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers' conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children's misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home. What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents' minds for the arrangement of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters' capacities.

The agreements forged at the 1992 Earth Summit and the 1997 Kyoto Global Climate Conference aim to mitigate the problem by controlling emissions of greenhouse gases. It is, however, mainly developed countries that are willing to consider this course of action. Yet the authors of the 1996 Global Burden of Disease Study calculate that the output of greenhouse gases from developing countries will increase over fourfold between 1990 and 2030, accounting for more than 60 per cent of total emissions by that date. Trying to curb emissions is one thing, but what do we do about the climatic upheavals occurring in the meantime? An adaptational approach to climate change was suggested by the American Council on Science and Health in its 1997 report, Global Climate Change and Human Health. If global warming occurs as gradually as predicted by the IPCC, there will be several decades to plan a sensible, coordinated response. General adaptational measures include ensuring that a country has adequate nourishment and clean drinking water, programmes to control infectious diseases, basic medical, obstetric(产科的) and infant care, and immunization(免疫) as well as relief programmes for emergencies such as hurricanes. This approach can be applied to many of the direct and indirect effects of climate change. Cities whose location and population make them vulnerable to heat waves can reduce the urban heat load by installing building insulation, using reflective materials on roofs, roads and parking areas, and planting trees. Public education campaigns aiming to help people at risk are needed, as are accurate local weather recordings to predict very hot weather. And in preparing for storms and other extreme weather, early warning systems and evacuation plans are key, as are healthcare programmes that can cope with epidemics of infectious disease and other crises during the aftermath. 41.The controlling over the emission of greenhouse gases will probably be undertaken by ________.A. the 1992 Earth Summit and the 1997 Kyoto Global Climate ConferenceB. the developed countriesC. the developing countriesD. the Third World countries

42.Which of the following is NOT a way to prevent global warming?A. To control the emission of greenhouse gases.B. To adopt an adaptational approach.C. To let global warming occur gradually.D. To plan a sensible, coordinated response.

43.One of the measures to help stop global warming might be ________.A. the accurate prediction of hurricanesB. the provision of healthcareC. the strict birth control policyD. the programmes to avoid natural disasters

44.In preparing for extreme weather the most important thing to do is to ________.A. use reflective materials on roofs, roads and parking areasB. promote public education campaignsC. establish early warning systems and make evacuation plansD. carry out healthcare programmes45.The word “aftermath” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.A. growth B. developmentC. happeningD. consequence

Passage FourInvolving males in the care of young is a successful strategy for animals that have long, complex developments – the price of having a lame brain, says John Allman, a neurobiologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. Species like humans need some out-of-womb experience to develop fully, and time the parents spend nurturing that growing brain is not available for producing more offspring. “So you’re going to have to take awfully good care of those few babies you have,” he says. The good news is that caregivers seem to be heartily rewarded in terms of longevity. When Allman looked at records of birth and death in eight captive primate species, he found that the doting sex always lives longer. “It sort of dazzled me,” he admits. “It’s a very clear relationship.” In chimpanzees, for instance, where fathers hardly know their children, mothers live an overwhelming 42 per cent longer. Similarly, female orangutans(猩猩) survive 20 per cent longer than their partners and gorillas 12 per cent longer. But in species where males were the caregivers, the tables were turned: male titi monkeys, for example, lived 20 per cent longer than females. Humans fit somewhere in between. Allman studied records from 18th-century Sweden – a time and place where there were no major wars to kill off men – and found that females lived on average 5 per cent longer. And this despite women’s high risk of death during childbirth, Allman concludes that survival advantage in the care-giving sex is reinforced by natural selection. He believes the increased longevity is linked to an ability to deal with stress, which also increases the likelihood of successful parenting. “Gene” that enhance stress tolerance would be favoured in the caregiving sex.” That human males play a big role in child-rearing should come as no surprise, Allman says. Taking brain size as an indicator, humans probably don’t fully mature until about 40. Yet we become reproductively mature long before that. “I would maintain that that could only come about if there are other caregivers around to help out,” he says. Other species with the big-brain/slow development dilemma have figured it out: recruit males. “That’s the way out of this box,” he says.

46.Species like humans should involve males in the care of the young because ________.A. it may bring about a lame brainB. they can produce more offspringC. they have long, complex developmentsD. their brains are often lame

47.After studying the birth and death records in eight captive primate species, Allman concluded that ________.A. caregivers expect to have good rewardsB. the more care you give to offspring, the longer you liveC. caregiving has little or nothing to do with longevityD. the death rate in captive primate species is higher than that in wild ones

48.Male ________ live longer than female ones.A. chimpanzees B. orangutansC. human beings D. titi monkeys

49.In 18th-century Sweden women lived on average 5 per cent longer than men because ________.A. there were no major wars to kill off menB. women had high risk of death during childbirthC. men had to work much harder than womenD. women developed stronger stress tolerance during care- giving

50.From this passage we can infer that ________.A. human reproductive maturity is earlier than that of his brainB. it is surprising to see man play a big role in child-rearingC. women are better suited for child-rearingD.the big brain/slow development species live in boxes Passage FiveKeeping what remains of the ozone layer intact has been an international priority since 1988, when the Montreal Protocol was launched to cut down the chemicals that cause depletion. But in the meantime, individuals can launch their own offensives against extra doses of UV(ultraviolet) (紫外线的) radiation. A universal weapon in this daily battle is sunglasses to protect the eyes, which can effectively cut out UV over a wide range. But what about our skin? People with very dark skin have an inbuilt sun protection factor (SPF) of 13, meaning they can stay out in the Sun 13 times longer than if unprotected, without burning from exposure to UV radiation. People with paler skins need sun blocks to create the same effect. Some evidence shows that sunburn in childhood could increase the likelihood of developing a malignant melanoma(黑肿瘤) later, so the younger the sun worshipper, the more vital the wearing of sun block. But choose your product carefully. Because the damaging effects of UV-B are more obvious, sun block manufacturers have focused on this waveband until recently. So one of the problems with SPF numbers is that they do not indicate protection against UV-A. This is a serious omission, because claims that UV-B damage can be separated from “safe” UV-A tanning are unfounded. The best protection from UV-A comes in sun blocks with reflective compounds such as titanium dioxide. Many preparations now also indicate UV-A protection using star ratings. Four stars indicates balanced UV-B and UV-A protection, while fewer stars indicates greater protection against UV-B than UV-A.

51. The first paragraph of the passage implies that ________.A. the ozone layer has remained unchanged since 1988B. ozone depletion increases the amount of UV radiationC.UV radiation is harmful to our healthD.the Montreal Protocol bans the discharge of any chemicals

52.According to the passage, sunglasses ________.A. can effectively block UV B. are harmful to people’s eyesC. have very good quality D. have a wide range of UV

53.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The SPF for all people is 13.B. Paler skins can be exposed to UV radiation longer than dark skins.C. The SPF for paler skins is less than 13.D. Children should stay in the Sun longer than adults.

54.Compared with UV-B, UV-A ________.A. is not harmful to the eyesB. can be better protected by sunglassesC. is hardly noticed by manufacturersD. has the same SPF numbers

55.The best product against UV radiation is the one ________.A. with a star rating of 4 starsB. with a star rating of less than 4 starsC. with a star rating of more than 4 starsD. made of reflective compounds
