Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (2 points each, 40 points in all)  

Directions: There are four tasks for you to fulfill. You are required to read the passages below carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

Passage 1

A new poll shows that people believe that computers and the Internet have made life better for Americans, but people also see some dangers in the trend toward computerization.

    The poll found that the public favors some government protection from cyber-problems (网络问题), but in general people are not especially concerned about issues such as information overload or the never-ending flow of phone calls, faxes and e-mails. A separate survey of children aged 10-17 shows that they have a more positive attitude about computers than adults do, and most have made use of up-to-date technology in their schools.

The survey found that enthusiasm for computers and the Internet is found in all income groups, all regions of the country, all races, and most age groups. However, people over 60 and those towards the lower end of the income rank tend to show lower rates of computer ownership and Internet usage. The survey shows that “some kind of gap has been crossed: Computers are part of everyday life for most Americans, and the Internet is close behind.”

26. The first paragraph shows that _____.

A. the new poll about computers and the Internet is helpful

    B. people should explore the dangers of computerization

Passage 2

The business cycle is composed of many phases and one of them is the expansion phase. This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity.

    During the recovery period there is an ever-growing expansion of existing equipment. And new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of serious kinds are made. There is an ever increasingly positive view about the future of economic growth. Much capital is invested in machinery or “heavy” industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required.

    As more parts of the economy develop, other parts are affected. For example, the expansion in automobiles results in an expansion of the steel and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are activated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials. This increases the amount of goods bought and sold. Thus prosperity develops among the various parts of the population.

This prosperity period may continue to rise without an obvious end. However, a time comes when this phase reaches a peak and stops going upwards. This is the end of the expansion phase.

31. Which of the following does NOT happen in economic recovery?

    A. The expansion of existing facilities.

    B. The creation of new business.

    C. The disappearance of old business.

    D. The increase of optimism about the future of economy.

    C. The further increase of labors.              D. The volume expansion of goods.

33. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

    A. Sections of economy do not influence each other.

    B. In the expansion phase the business maintains development in the long run.

    C. The end of the business in the prosperity period can be obviously seen.

    D. Parts of economy are closely related to each other.

34. We can infer from the last paragraph that _____.

    A. economic expansion is fast

    B. the business can expand endlessly

    C. the end of one business expansion will certainly happen

    D. economic rise to the peak is slow

35. Which is probably the best title for this passage?

C. Expansion of Economy.                 D. Prosperity of Economy.

Passage 3

It is clear that some people who participate in exercise training will develop injuries to their bones, muscles, and joints（关节）. Despite unfounded reports in the mass media of extremely high injury rates among adult exercisers, there have been few good studies of exercise injuries in populations. One of the difficulties in performing such studies has been the need to identify both the number of cases and the number of people at risk for injury. In other words, it is difficult to know the number of individuals injured and the total number of individuals exercising in the population. But these two figures are necessary in order to calculate（统计）true injury rates. Normally, injury is defined as an accident that causes a person to stop exercising for at least one week. The best available studies on injury rates show that about 25 to 30 percent of adult runners become “injured” (based on the above definition) over the course of a year. More serious injuries include those for which the injured person seeks medical care. If only they are considered, injury rates are much lower, perhaps in the range of 1 percent per year.

Little is known about the causes of exercise injuries. One factor that has been linked to injury is the amount of exercise; for example, individuals who run more miles are likelier to be injured than those who run fewer miles. Factors such as age, sex, body type, and experience have not been shown to be associated with risk of injury. It seems logical that structural abnormalities, sudden increases in training intensity, and types of equipment used are likely to be related to injury risk. However, data to support these opinions are not available.

36. What is the writer’s attitude towards high injury rates among adult exercisers reported by the mass media?

     A. Positive.        B. Indifferent.       C. Negative.          D. Reserved.

37. The true injury rates are obtained from _____.

     A. the average number of injuries for each individual

     B. the amount of exercises for each individual

     C. the numbers of the injured and all individuals in training

     D. the numbers of people doing exercises and those stopped exercises for one week

38. Which of the following is NOT shown as the factor for causing exercise injuries?

     A. The amount of exercise.

     B. The age, sex and body type.

     C. Structural abnormalities.

     D. Tile sudden increases in training intensity.

39. The factors that are in relation to exercises injuries _____.

     A. have been obtained from many good studies

     B. have been confirmed by many data

     C. cannot confirm the risk of equipment types

     D. can be proved easily by the data through calculation

40. The passage is mainly about _____.

     A. the high injury rates for those doing exercises

     B. the ways to avoid exercise injuries

     C. the evidences for the seriousness of exercise injuries

     D. the studies about injury rates and causes for injuries

Passage 4
