22、ing Comprehension (50 points, 2 points each)Directions: There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on
23、the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Every animal is a living radiator heat formed in its cells is given off through its skin. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by constantly replacing lost surface heat; smaller animals, which have more skin for every ounc
24、e of body weight, must produce heat faster than bigger ones. Because smaller animals burn fuel faster, scientists say they live faster.The speed at which an animal lives is determined by measuring the rate at which it uses oxygen. A chicken, for example, uses one-half cubic centimeter of oxygen ever
25、y hour for each gram it weighs. The tiny shrew uses four cubic centimeters of oxygen every hour for each gram it weighs. Because it uses oxygen eight times as fast, it is said that the mouse-like shrew is living eight times as fast as the chicken. The smallest of the warm-blooded creatures, the humm
26、ingbird, lives a hundred times as fast as an elephant.There is a limit to how small a warm-blooded animal can be. A mammal or bird that weighed only two and a half grams would starve to death. It would burn up its food too rapidly and would not be able to eat fast enough to supply more fuel.1. The p
27、assage says that every animal is a living radiator because it_.A. produces heat in its body cells B. burns fuel to produce heatC. sends out heat from its bodies D. requires oxygen to produce heat2. Warm-blooded animals maintain a steady temperature by_.A. restoring heat continuallyB. storing heat in
28、 their body cells得 分 阅卷人班级_学号_姓名_-密-封-线-（阅读 1）第 5 页 共 10 页C. regulating the amount of heat producedD. regulating the amount of heat given off3.

30、ummingbird lives faster than any other warm-blooded creature.C. Small animals have less skin for their body weight than large ones.D. The hummingbird is the smallest of the warm-blooded animals.Passage 2California is a land of variety and contrast. Almost every type of physical land feature, short o
31、f arctic ice fields and tropical jungles can be found within its borders. Sharply contrasting types of land often lie very close to one another.People living in Bakersfield, for instance, can visit the Pacific Ocean and the coastal plain, the fertile San Joaquin Valley, the arid Mojave Desert, and t
32、he high Sierra Nevada, all within a radius of about 100 miles. In other areas it is possible to go snow skiing in the morning and surfing in the evening of the same day, without having to travel long distances.Contrast abounds in California. The highest point in the United States (outside Alaska) is
33、 in California, and so is the lowest point (including Alaska). Mount Whitney, 14 494 feet above sea level, is separated from Death Valley, 282 feet below sea level, by a distance of only 100 miles. The two areas have a difference in altitude of almost three miles.California has deep, clear mountain
34、lakes like Lake Tahoe, the deepest in the country, but it also has shallow, salty desert lakes. It has Lake Tulainyo, 12 020 feet above sea level, and the lowest lake in the country, the Salton Sea, 236 feet below sea level. Some of its lakes, like Owens Lake in Death Valley, are not lakes at all; t
35、hey are dried-up lakebeds. In addition to mountains, lakes, valleys, deserts, and plateaus, California has its Pacific coastline, stretching longer than the coastlines of Oregon and Washington combined. 6. Which of the following is the lowest point in the United States?A. Lake Tulainyo. B. Mojave De
36、sert. C. Death Valley. D. The Salton Sea.7. Where is the highest point in the United States located?A. Lake Tahoe. B. Sierra Nevada. C. Mount Whitney. D. Alaska. 8. How far away is Death Valley from Mount Whitney?A. About 3 miles. B. Only 100 miles. C. 282 feet. D. 14 494 feet.9. Which of the follow
37、ing is not mentioned in the passage as being within a radius of about 班级_学号_姓名_-密-封-线-（阅读 1）第 6 页 共 10 页100 miles of Bakersfield?A. The Pacific Ocean. B. San Joaquin Valley.C. Mojave Desert. D. Oregon and Washington.10. Which statement best demonstrates that California is a land of variety and contr
38、ast?A. The highest lake in California is Lake Tulainyo.B. It is possible to go surfing and snow skiing in some parts of California without having to travel long distance.C. Sierra Nevada, San Joaquin Valley, Mojave Desert and the Pacific Ocean all lie within a radius of about 100 miles.D. Owens Lake
39、, in Death Valley, is not really a lake at all.Passage 3Children are a relatively modern invention. Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist. In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women, wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions, performing grown-up tasks. C
40、hildren did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.Children today not only exist; they have taken over, in no place more than in America, and at no time more than now. It is always Kids Country here. Our civilization is child-centered, child-obsessed. A kids body is our physical
41、ideal. In Kids Country we do not permit middle-age. Thirty is promoted over 50, but 30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children. Such a topsy-turvy (颠倒) situation has come about at least in part because, unlike t
42、he rest of the world, ours is an immigrant society, and for immigrant the only hope is in the kids. In the Old Country, that is, Europe, hope was in the farther, and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children. In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier,
43、the young man was ever advised to GO WEST; the farther was ever inheriting from his son. Kids Country may be the inevitable result.Kids Country is not all bad. American is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids Country. We not only wear kids clothes and eat kids food; we
44、dream Kids dreams and make them come true. It was, after all, a boys game to go to the moon.If in the old days children did not exist, it seems equally true today that adults, as a class, have begun to disappear, condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever, jogging and doing push-ups (俯卧撑)
45、 against eternity.11. The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that _.A. adults showed less concern for children than we do nowB. adults were smaller and thinner at that time, but they still had a lot of work to doC. children looked and acted like adults at that timeD. childre
46、n were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time12. In the third paragraph, the Old Country is contrasted with America _.A. to show differences in family size（阅读 1）第 7 页 共 10 页B. to show differences in attitudes towards family relationsC. to sow two kinds of geographyD. to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations13. Going to the moon is an example of _.A. Americas dreams and creativityB. Americas childish and queer behaviorC. why America hasnt grown upD. why America is considered the greatest countr
