IV. 阅读理解（每空 2 分，共 40 分）
( A )
Dolphins（海豚）are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups and
speak to each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as
bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain
is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time --- at least twenty or thirty
years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They
also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know
they don’t use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called
the jaw.
Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been
stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off
the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to
1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger
on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years
more continued to guide all ships through the area ---- except for The Penguin.
Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now
protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.
56. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ________.
A. live in groups B. have large brains
C. are warm-blooded D. have their own language
57. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?
A. Its nose. B. Its ears. C. Its mouth. D. Its eyes.
58. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?
A. He was lonely and liked to be with people.
B. They enjoyed playing with him.
C. He was seriously wounded.
D. They wanted his help.
59. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _______.
A. dolphins are friendly and clever
B. people are cruel to animals
C. Jack is different from other dolphins
D. Dolphins should be protected by law
(B)
The wedding took place in a Birmingham hotel. The bride and her father arrived
in a new black American sports car. Her father looked nervous and uncomfortable in
front of the cameras. The bride wore a silk wedding dress. She smiled nervously at the
waiting photograghers and went to a room on the first floor where she met her future
husband for the first time.
Carla Germaine and Creg Cordell were the winners of a radio station’s competition.
The aim of the competition was to find two strangers prepared to marry without having
met each other. Miss Germaine, 23, is a model. Mr. Cordell, 27, is a TV salesman. They
were among the two hundred people who entered for a peculiar “experiment” organized
by BMRB radio in Birmingham, England. Greg and Carla were among eight fanalists
who were interviewed live on radio. They took a lie detector( 测 谎 仪 ) test and the
station also spoke to their friends and family about their personalities. The competition
judges included an astrologer（占星家）who declared they were suited.
The couple celebrated their wedding with a wedding breakfast and a party for 100
guests in the evening, but not everyone shared their joy. Miss Germaine’s mother looked
anxious throughout the wedding and Mr. Cordell’s parents are reported to be less than
delighted.
Organizations, including the marriage guidance service Relate, have criticized the
marriage. As one person put it, “We have enough problems getting young people to take
marriage seriously without this. Marriage should always be about love.”
The couple are now on a Caribbean honeymoon followed by journalists. Their
other prizes include a year’s free use of a wonderful apartment in the center of
Birmingham, and a car. But will it last?

C. to have a wedding dress free
D. to own an American sports car
63. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Two Strangers and A Wedding
B. A Wedding Based on Love
C. A Short-lived Marriage
D. A Well-matched Couple
(C)
Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think
there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique（古
董）shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went
into the first shop expecting a friendly reception（接待）. I was quite wrong. The man
wouldn’t even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and
the fourth ---- so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and
said to the shop-keeper, “ Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully
and said, “ Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I
said. “OK,” he said, “I will give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I
said. “Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing.”
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you
do with it?” I asked. “ Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I
said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve
changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it.” “You must be
crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want
me to repair your chair.” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had
walked in and said, “Would you mend this chair for me?” “ I wouldn’t have agreed to
do it,” he said. “ We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But
I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?” He was a very nice man and was greatly
amused（感到有趣） by the whole thing.
64. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _______.
A. was rather impolite B. was warmly received
C. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chair
D.asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair
65. The underlined word “approach” in the second paragragh means ________.
A. plan for dealing with things.
B. decision to sell things
C. idea of repairing things
D. way of doing things
66. The expression “the penny dropped” in the last paragragh means the shopkeeper ___
A. changed his mind B. accepted the offer
C. saw the writer’s purpose D. decided to help the writer
67. From the text, we can learn that the writer was _______.
A. honest B. careful C. smart D. funny
(D)
People are talking about the “new economy”. It’s very different from the “old
economy”.
In the old economy, people travel to work. They buy things in stores. They use the
post office, the fax and the telephone to send information. They see people
face-to-face at their job or in stores. People get information from newspapers, radio,
telephone, reference books, and the library.
In the new economy, people do business through the “net”, which is a connection
of millions of computers everywhere in the world. In the new economy, workers
often work at home. They can get information on-line. They can communicate with
employers and co-workers by e-mail. Customers shop on-line. Business have “virtual
(虚拟的) stores”. They are websites on which customers can see the products.
Businesses can sell to customers anywhere in the world.
In the new economy, people live a fast paced （快节奏的）, convenient, and
colorful life. The whole world develops more rapidly than before. But the new
economy is a double edge sword（剑）. Its disadvantage is also obvious. For example,
the Internet led to a huge increase in credit-card(信用卡) cheating. Some illegal (非
法的)websites some cheap or banned goods or services. On-line shoppers who enter
their credit-card information may never receive the goods they want to buy and their
card information could even be for sale in an illegal website. So people in the new
economy should be smarter and more knowledgeable.
68. The cause of the differences between the new economy and the old economy
is_________________.
A. the change of people’s idea B. the businesses people do
C. the use of the Internet D. the change of people’s life
69. In the old economy, people can do the following things except_______.
A. getting information from books
B. communicating with friends by telephone
C. meeting people face to face
D. shopping on-line
70.The underlined sentence means __________.
A. the new economy is s sharp as a sword
B. the new economy has both advantages and disadvantages
C. the new economy is better than the old economy
D. both the new and the old have disadvantages
71. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Economy B. Modern life C. Websites D. Information
(E)
Professor Reason recently persuaded 35 people to keep a diary of all their
absent-minded actions for two weeks. When he came to analyse （ 分 析 ） their
embarrassing（尴尬的） errors（错误）, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them
fell into a few groups.
One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw
her pet dog her ear-rings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for
this is that the brain is like a computer,” explains the professor. “People programme
themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman’s custom every morning
to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her ear-rings. But somehow the action got
reversed in the programme.” About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers
reported were these “programme assembly failures.”
Twenty percent of all errors were “test failures” ----- primarily due to not verifying
the progress of what the body was doing. A man about to get his car out of the garage
passed through the back yard where his garden jacket and boots were kept, put them
on------- much to his surprise. A woman victim(受害者) reported: “ I got into the bath
with my socks on.”
The commonest problem was information “storage failures”. People forgot the
names of people whose faces they knew, went into a room and forgot why they were
there, mislaid something, or smoked a cigarette without realizing it.
The research so far suggests that while the “central professor” of the brain is
librated from second-to second control of a well-practised routine, it must repeatedly
switch back its attention at important decision points to check that the action goes on as
intended. Otherwise the activity may be “captured” by another frequently and recently
used programme, resulting in embarrassing errors.
72. The purpose of Professor Reason’s research is _________.
A. to show the difference between men and women in their reasoning
B. to classify and explain some errors in human actions
C. to find the causes which lead to computer failures
D. to compare computer functions with brain workings
73 .Which of the following might be grouped under “programme assembly failures”?
A. A woman went into a shop and forgot what to buy.
B. A man returning home after work left his key in the lock.
C. A lady fell as she was concentrating on each step her feet were taking.
D. An old man, with his shoes on, was trying to put on his socks.
74. The word “verifying” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by _________.
A. improving B. changing C. checking D. stopping
75. According to the passage, the information “storage failures” refer to _______.
A. the destruction of information collecting system
B. the elimination of one’s total memory
C. the temporary loss of part of one’s memory
D. the separation of one’s action from consciousness

Dear Tom,
It is great to write to you. Now I’d like to tell you something that
took place in my school yesterday. In the afternoon we held a growing-up
ceremony for our coming 18-year-old birthday. At first we made an oath that
as grown-ups we should have a sense of duty for our society from now on.
Then we showed our thanks to our parents who had gone through hardships
to bring us up and teachers who have been educating us patiently. And our
teachers also gave us cards expressing their good wishes to us. Finally,
we put on wonderful performances, singing and dancing. We learned a lot
from the activity. I think it’s very important for us. I will remember
the day in my life.
Yours,
Li Hua
