老师评语: 客观 Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(每小题: 分)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or dialog.

Standing alone at the Browns' party, Anna Mackintosh thought about her husband Edward, establishing him clearly in her mind's eye. He was a thin man, forty-one years of age, with fair hair that was often untidy. In the seventeen years they'd been married he had changed very little; he was still nervous with other people, and smiled in the same embarrassed way, and his face was still almost boyish.

She believed she had failed him because he had wished for children and she had not been able to supply any. She had, over the years, become neurotic (神经机能病的) about this fact and in the end, quite some time ago now, she had consulted a psychiatrist (精神病学家), Dr. Abbat, at Edward's pleading (恳求).

In the Browns' rich drawing room, its walls and ceiling gleaming (发微光) with a metallic (金属般的) surface of imitation gold, Anna listened to dance music coming from a tape recorder and continued to think about her husband.

In a moment he would be at the party, since they had agreed to meet there, although by now it was three-quarters of an hour later than the time he had promised.

The Browns were people he knew in a business way, and he had said he thought it wise that he and Anna should attend this gathering of theirs. She had never met them before, which made it more difficult for her, having to wait about, not knowing a soul in the room.

When she thought about it she felt hard done by, for although Edward was kind to her and always had been, it was far from considerate to be as late as this. Because of her nervous condition she felt afraid and had developed a sickness in her stomach. She looked at her watch and sighed. 1.

Why did Anna feel awkward at the party? A. She came to the party too early.

B. She was neglected by the host.

C. She felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the party.

D. She didn't know anyone there. 2.

What made Anna feel inadequate?

A. She did not make a good mother to her children.

B. She was unable to satisfy her husband's desire to have children.

C. She did not get along well with her husband.

D. She was unable to have a better understanding of her husband. 3.

As time went by, Anna started to get angry as ________. A. she found the Browns were much wealthier than they were

B. her husband was usually more thoughtful

C. she noticed that no one was willing to talk to her

D. her husband was bad-mannered in the party 4.

According to the passage, Edward wanted Anna to attend the party because ________.

A. he wanted her to have more of a social life

B. he tried to distract her from some unpleasant thoughts

C. he needed her support

D. he thought she would impress the Browns 5.

What kind of woman Anna was according to the passage? A. Sensitive and worried.

B. Open and talkative.

C. Imaginative and cheerful.

D. Sensible and easygoing.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage or dialog.

The US military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its servers were attacked by a new computer virus.

Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides security for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had contracted the virus, called the \"Code Red\" bug, according to an official.

The virus is known as a \"denial of service\" bug, because it replicates (自我复制) itself by reading the data files on a network server and sending copies to other servers—thereby multiplying and

sometimes crashing a system—and denying access to legitimate (合法的) users of the site.

\"The Code Red worm did in fact show up in some DoD (Department of Defense) web sites and we're working to contain that,\" Command Spokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. \"Ways we're going about that include blocking public access to the Web sites, because that's the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate (繁殖) itself.\"

The virus exploits a security flaw (缺陷) in certain Microsoft network servers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was released to fix it.

\"To protect our DoD web sites from being compromised, DoD organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet information servers... to make sure that all the patches that were previously installed had been installed,\" says Venable. Only a handful of the major Defense Department sites, with the suffix \".mil,\" appear currently accessible to the public, including the central public affairs site DefenseLink and the military services' main homepages. Public access is blocked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site and the US Air Force's European site. Registered Department of Defense

personnel continue to have access to the sites, Venable said. 6.

Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. The Code Red Worm.

B. DoD Blocks Public Web Site Access.

C. DoD Was Attacked.

D. Protect DoD Web Sites Against Viruses. 7.

The word \"contracted\" (Para.2) most probably means ________.

A. make less or smaller

B. get an illness

C. make a legal agreement

D. formally agree to marry somebody 8.

Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Code Red worm?

A. It can multiply in large numbers.

B. It may make a computer system stop working.

C. It's included in a patch released by Microsoft.

D. It may destroy the connection between legitimate users and the sites. 9.

Public access is blocked to most DoD web sites so that ________.

A. the Code Red worm can't use the web site to replicates itself and send copies

B. DoD organizations can have necessary patches installed to protect their sites

C. the defense secrets can be prevented from being revealed

D. the mistake in certain Microsoft network servers can be corrected

10. Which of the following is NOT a measure taken by DoD to fight

against the Code Red worm? A. Blocking public access.

B. Shutting down e-mail.

C. Reviewing the status of the Internet information servers.

D. Having necessary patches installed.

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage or dialog.

The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.

The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.

But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. \"The thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness,\" Ms. Elshtain says.

Some of this can be attributed to the decay of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.

In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the US. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.

The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent \"golden age,\" Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的 ) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor a decrease in prejudice. Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. \"Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can't be bought.\"

11. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans ________.

A. have adapted to a new set of moral standards

B. are longing for the return of the good old days

C. have realized the importance of material things

D. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards

12. The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by

________.

A. its growing wealth

B. the self-centeredness of individuals

C. underestimating the impact of social changes

D. the prejudice against women and minorities

13. Which of the following characterizes the traditional

communities? A. Great mobility.

B. Emphasis on individual effort.

C. Concern for one's neighbors.

D. Ever-weakening social bonds.

14. In the 1950s, classroom violence ________.

A. was something unheard of

B. attracted a lot of public attention

C. was by no means a rare occurrence

D. began to appear in analysts' data

15. According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be

reversed ________.

A. if people can return to the \"golden age\"

B. when women and men enjoy equal rights

C. when people rid themselves of prejudice

D. if less emphasis is laid on material things

老师评语: Part 8 Reading Comprehension (Short Answer Questions)

(每小题: 分)

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and give brief answers to the questions.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage or dialog.

One of the reasons most commonly cited by vegetarians for giving up meat is the conviction that other animals have a right to life as well as humans. But when Davis began setting up a course on animal ethics (伦理学) for the animal science department at Oregon State University four years ago, he reached a rather surprising conclusion.

Nobody's hands are free from the blood of other animals, not even vegetarians, he concluded. Millions of animals are killed every year, Davis says, to prepare land for growing crops, \"like corn, soybean (大豆), wheat and barley (大麦), the staples (主要食品) of a vegan (素食主义者的) diet.\"

The animals in this case are mice and rabbits and other creatures that are run over by tractors, or lose their living places to make way for farming, so they are not as \"visible\" as cattle, he says. And that, Davis says, gives rise to a fundamental question: \"What is it that makes it OK to kill animals of the field so that we can eat [vegetables or fruits] but not pigs or chickens or cows?\"

\"If they say they don't want to kill an animal so they can eat, I think their conclusion is misguided because they are killing animals so

that they can eat that vegetarian diet,\" Davis says. \"Those animals happen to be a little bit invisible. They are not as obvious to the man on the street as killing a cow in the slaughterhouse (屠宰场). But anyway, it's still going on.\"

Ever since he revealed his conclusions, Davis' e-mail box has been jammed with responses, much of it from vegetarians, and not all of it friendly. Most of it, though, has been \"quite decent,\" he says, because vegetarians tend to be well-educated, sensitive and thoughtful folks.

1. How should animals be equal to humans, according to

vegetarians?

2. What did Davis find when he was running the course on animal

ethics?

3. In what way do vegetarians allow animals to be killed?

4. What about their size makes these animals a bit invisible?

5. What responses did Davis get after revealing the conclusion?
