Reading Comprehension（閱讀理解）Passage 1I was born with a disability that affects my sense of balance; causing me to walk with a limp. No

12、t only does it affect the function of the legs, but it also has an impact on the kidneys. The disability has had its ups and downs. As a young child, I can remember the way other children would stare at me because of the way that I walked. There were many times that my schoolmates would laugh at me

13、and call me names simply because of their lack of understanding, especially back in the mid 70s and 80s. Children then were just unwilling to take the time to learn why one of their classmates might walk, speak or seem noticeable different from themselves. Now that I am an adult, I have noticed that

14、 the stares and names have begun to fade, and judgments that once were negative have begun to turn toward acceptance. The signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has played a great part in breaking down of those barriers that, as a child, left me to fight a war that seemed to have no en

15、d. Now I look beyond what I cant do and focus on what I can. I have learned that limitations open doors that have been closed, showing other to meet our needs. I have always looked at life as a challenge, grasping each obstacle with open arms. There is nothing in this world that comes easy. I must s

16、tand tall and look forward, to be ever so ready for what still lies ahead. People often feel sorry for those who were born with some type of disability. But their compassion is misplaced. Yes, I may not be able to run as fast or perform certain tasks, but my disability gives me a better look at life

17、 and all thats around me. I want to be seen not as a disability but as a person who has, and will continue to, bloom. So I decided to become an advocate on behalf of disabled Americans, to fight for our rights that for so long have been ignored. I feel that it only takes one powerful voice to change

18、 the minds of many nations, and as long as I have a mouth to use and a mind to think I will continue to work to bring peace upon the disabled community. 31.

Last fall

22、, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe. The search for intelligent life on other planets isnt new. It began almost 100 years ago. Thats when scientists built a huge transmitte

23、r to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart beings on other planets might pick up the signals. Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar system to a nearby constellation (星座). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldnt reach

24、 Earth for 50,000 years! So dont wait up for an answer. So far, no extraterrestrial (地球外的) beings that we know of have returned our “calls.” But according to Dr. Jill Tarter, an HRMS scientist, we havent exactly had our ears wide open. “Now, however,” says Dr. Tarter, “weve built the tools we need t

25、o listen well.” Last October, Dr. Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world. Its an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in Californias Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes-a

26、nd others around the world-will pick up radio signals from new world. Dr. Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear: Now imagine radio rece

27、ivers that scan our galaxy “l(fā)istening” to 14 million channels every second. Thats what NASAs radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing. But thats not all. Powerful computers hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully. The computers try to match the signals to ones that scie

28、ntists already recognize, such as human-made signals. If they cant, Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr. Tarter. “And that would mean were not alone.”36. NASA scientists started a new project in order to _. (A)A. discover life

29、 in other galaxies B. send human beings into space C. find evidence of a new galaxy D. confirm the number of galaxies 37. According to Dr. Jill Tarter, the reason why we havent received any return messages from outer space is that_. (C)A. our ears are not sharp enough to hear them B. our equipment h

30、asnt been good enough C. it takes millions of years for them to reach us D. it takes quite a long time to send them 39. According to Dr. Frank Drake, NASAs radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are _. (C)A. trying to check on every channel carefully B. moving the tuner on the dial for clear

31、channels C. scanning the universe for possible signals D. picking up radio signals from new world 40. The best title of this passage is _. (D)A. Signals from the Space B. The Invention of New Radio Receivers C. The Intelligent Life in Outer Space D. NASA Listens for Space Neighbors Passage 3Even a c

32、areful motorist(開汽車的人) may commit a motoring offence (違法).In this case, he will appear in a police court. This is a court ruled by a judge without a jury (陪審團(tuán)). A judge has powers to pass sentence for relatively minor offences only; serious charges are dealt with by a judge and a jury. In certain ca

33、ses, a motoring offender may choose to go before a judge and a jury, instead of appearing before just a judge. A court is also used for the conduct of preliminary investigations to determine whether or not a motoring offender shall appear for trial in a higher court. When his case comes up in court,

34、 the motorist hears his name called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify himself. The judge then calls for the policeman who charged the offender and asks him to give evidence. He is expected to give an account of what happened when the offence was committed and to mention any sp

35、ecial circumstances. For example the offence may have been partly due to the foolishness of another motorist. It would be unwise for the motoring offender to exaggerate this. It will not help his case to try to blame someone else for his own mistake. If you are guilty, it is of course wise to admit

36、it and say youre sorry for committing the offence and taking up the courts time. Judges are not heartless and a motorist may be lucky enough to hear one say: “Youve got good reasons, but you have broken the law and Ill have to impose a fine. Pay five pounds. Next case.” Some short-tempered people fo

37、rget that both policemen and judges have a public duty to perform, and are rude to them. This does not pay! A judge will not let off an offender merely because he is respectful, but a polite law-breaker may certainly hope that the judge will extend him what tolerance the law permits. 41. Even a care

38、ful motorist may be asked to go to a police court for_. (B)A. an injury B.a motoring offence C.refusing to pay a fine D. being rude to the policeman 42.

39、sually charged by _. (C)A. a judge B. a jury C. a policeman D. another motorist 44. It is foolish for a motoring offender to _. (A)A. overstate another motorists mistake B. mention someone elses foolishness C. argue that he is not guilty D. choose to go before a jury 45. If a man knows that he is gu

40、ilty, he should _. (D)A. be polite to the policeman and the judge B. try his best to appear before just a judge C. save the courts time and pay the fine D. admit the wrong and say sorry to the court III. Cloze（完形填空）（20×0.5=10）Who won the World Cup 1994 football game? What happened at the United

Wherever anything happens in the world, reports are on the spot to 48 the news.Newspapers have one basic 49 , to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who

42、 make it to those who want to 50 it. Radio, telegraph, television, and 51 inventions brought competition for newspapers. So did the development of magazines and other means of communication. 52 , this competition merely spurred the newspapers on. They quickly made use of the newer and faster means o

43、f communication to improve the 53 and thus the efficiency of their own operations. Today more newspapers are 54 and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out to many other fields. Besides keeping readers 55 of the latest news, todays newspapers 56 and influence readers abo
