Reading Comprehension:Passage 1Millions of stars are traveling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel throug

11、h a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds anot

12、her anywhere near it. We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering through space happened to come near our sun. Just as the sun and the moon raise tides on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different

13、from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move

14、away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space. These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets. 1. Millions of stars are _. A. following their own paths in space B. moving about

15、 without a fixed course C. seldom wandering about in the universe D. always traveling together 2. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because _.

16、 sun C. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth D. the star moved away from the sun 3. The article suggests that _. A. our earth exists before the sun B. how space formed C. no one knows where the earth comes from D. our earth used to be part of a high mountain on the sun 4. The expressio

19、It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children's language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child's language skills increase. A study was done with 30 three-year-old child

20、ren and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For exam

21、ple, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than "Is the doggie running away?" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers. At the be

22、ginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental g

23、roup still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group. 6. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Children who talk a lot are more intelligent. B. Parents who listen to their children can teach them more. C. Active children should read more and be given

25、gence development 8. According to the author, which of the following questions is the best type to ask children about? A. Do you see the elephant? B. Is the elephant in the cage? C.

26、group was _. A. the training that parents received B. the age of the children C. the books that were read D. the number of the children 10.

27、nt they will become C. children's language skills increase when they are required to respond actively D. children who read actively seem six months older Passage 3Different as they are, advertisements are alike in one important way. They have the same purpose, to get people to buy something.In t

28、he days of the cave men there was no advertising. There was no need for it. But as soon as people began to make things to sell, advertising was found to be useful. The businessmen of ancient Egypt employed "criers" to walk through the streets shouting or singing about the things they wante

29、d to sell. Newsboys still "cry" their papers now.In the Middle Ages businessmen hung picture signboards over their shop door showing what they had to sell. A large picture of a shoe above a shop door meant that it was a shoemaker's shop. It suggested buying shoes or having old ones men

30、ded.As more things were made to be sold, advertising grew. Today advertising is one of the biggest businesses. A great many people work at the advertisement. Every year billions of dollars are spent on advertising.Advertising helps sell more things to more people. This in turn makes it possible to p

31、roduce more things to sell. Sometimes it even helps make things cost less. Radios, for example, used to cost much more than they do because they were turned out slowly and expensively by hand. But advertising made more people want radios. When producers began making them by the thousands, they found

32、 quicker and cheaper ways of doing the job.11. Advertising is almost all made _.A. by people who sell things B. by people who buy thingsC. by employed "criers" D. by ancient Egyptians12 All advertisements are the same in that _.A. they are of the same color B. they help sell thingsC. they

36、 are becoming more difficult to find, many countries are experimenting with other ways of keeping materials.In the USA, a publishing firm has brought out several books on pollution and waste. The books are made of recycled paperthat is paper that has been used before. In this way, several thousand t

37、rees are saved. Multiply those books by a hundred, or even a thousand, and whole forests are saved. One clever schoolboy has worked it out that if every schoolbook in the USA was recycled, there would be enough paper for fifty packets of peanuts for every child in the world for five years. He does n

38、ot say where the peanuts are to come from.Several firms are experimenting with making containers from a hard plastic which, when the contents of the containers are finished, can be used as building materials, a kind of brick. If the mountains of empty cans all over the world can be changed into buil

39、ding materials that are not too expensive, that, too, is a new source of material.16. Waste paper, rags and scrap-iron can _.
