Reading Comprehension
Section A
Passage One
Questions 25 to 29 are based on the following passage.
Charles Johnson was a real writer. I had always wanted to meet one. I had always wanted to be one. His classes were everything I had hoped college would have. He worked us hard. We had big, challenging assignments every day. On Monday we would have to describe a single event through the eyes of five radically different people; Tuesday we’d have to write a thousand word sentence without using the word “and.” Crazy stuff (东西), fun stuff, difficult stuff. I saved the assignment sheets and, to this day, hand out copies to people who ask how I became a writer.
Over the years I spent at the University of Washington, Johnson’s classes took on a familiar pattern. The first week the class would meet in a regular classroom, where the 30 to 40 people would learn what the workload would be. Within a week we’d be down to five people and class would be held in a little meeting room that he kept reserved for the right time. Then the real class would begin. He had the mixture of humor and dedication necessary to deal with students like us: a collection of conceited, deadly serious little bastards (家伙) who thought they were going to be the next Charles Bukowski or Kathy Acker. His direction was gentle but firm.
It turned out that I was better at writing humor for television. But every now and then, I see Charles Johnson in a magazine getting a literary (文学的) award or the critical praise that he richly deserves. I hold up the magazine and tell everybody within hearing distance that I used to study with this guy. It’s great to remember a time when I thought all things were possible and I was one of the good guys.
- Charles Johnson was __________.
A) an unpopular teacher because few students took his class
B) a professional writer for a magazine
C) a part-time teacher and a part-time writer
D) an ideal teacher for the author - Why did Professor Johnson switch his classroom from a regular one to a small meeting room in the second week?
A) Because most of the students were not qualified for taking his course.
B) Because most of the students dropped out of the course.
C) Because most of the students found his course dull.
D) Because most of the students found him humorous. - What does the author think of the assignment of writing a thousand word sentence without using “and”?
A) It helps a great deal to improve one’s writing competence.
B) It produces something full of crazy and fun stuff.
C) It is difficult.
D) It is stupid. - Which of the following is NOT true about the students who took Professor Johnson’s class?
A) They included Charles Bukowski and Kathy Acker.
B) They thought they would be great writers some day.
C) They were ambitious.
D) They were crazy about writing. - The author feels __________.
A) respectful to Professor Johnson’s instructions
B) conceited for having studied at the University of Washington
C) proud for having studied with Professor Johnson
D) amazed at the dreams he once had as a college student
25-29:D*A*C
Passage Two
Questions 30 to 34 are based on the following passage.
“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.” That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year — or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.
Westhusin’s experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy’s DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.
Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy’s mysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He’s plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy’s fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”
The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin’s work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”
- Mr. Westhusin thinks cloning is dangerous because _____.
A) animals are tortured to death in the experiments
B) the public has expressed strong disapproval
C) too many lives are wasted for laboratory use
D) cloning becomes a quest only for profit - What is the problem confronting the Missyplicity project?
A) The client holds a suspicious view toward it.
B) There is a lack of funds to support the research.
C) The owner is unwilling to disclose the information.
D) Cloning dogs is a difficult biological problem. - Which of the following is true about animal cloning?
A) Few private cloning companies could afford it.
B) Few people have realized its significance.
C) An exact copy of a cat or bull can be made.
D) It is becoming a prosperous industry. - From the passage we can infer that _____.
A) Mr. Westhusin is going to clone a dog soon
B) scientists are pessimistic about human cloning
C) human reproductive system has not been understood
D) rich people are only interested in cloning animals - Mr. Westhusin seems to believe that cloning ______.
A) is stupid and should be abandoned
B) has been close to success
C) should be taken cautiously
D) is now in a dilemma
30-34:CD*BC
Passage Three
Questions 35 to 39 are based on the following passage.
Words are very important for communication. Unfortunately, words don’t always mean the same thing to the speakers or writers as they do to the hearers or readers. That’s because words have the power to cause emotional responses. Those stirred up emotions color our understanding of what has been communicated.
Since the emotions excited by words greatly influence our understanding, those who have studied the use of words in presenting their arguments can make the fullest use of them, and easily operate listeners and readers.
When we unknowingly make choices and decisions based on our internal emotional response to particular words and phrases instead of clear logical thinking, we have been operated. When we learn to separate our emotional responses to words being used to talk us into accepting some facts being discussed, then we can make effective and powerful decisions based upon the reality.
Now study the example below to see how words appeal to our emotions.
“Please give to this charity (慈善机构) so that millions of children worldwide won’t starve to death.”
Not stated is the implication that you will be responsible for the death of millions of children if you don’t give money to that charity. Compassion is stirred up and guilt consumes you as you reach for your checkbook.
But what about all the other charities that want your money for the same cause? What’s so special about this one that you willfully turn your back on all the others? So when the next appeal comes from another charity, you don’t even think twice before reaching for your checkbook. Then you have to cut back on your grocery spending so you can feed your own children …
- Writing the passage, the author intends __________.
A) to prove that words can stir up emotions
B) to explain why communication fails sometimes
C) to show how to make full use of emotional words in writing and speaking
D) to warn us against being misled by words while reading or listening - Which of the following cannot be learned from the passage?
A) The same sentence may vary greatly in meaning to different readers.
B) Some writers may use words in such a way as to mislead readers.
C) Emotions stirred up by words may lead listeners and readers to a wrong choice.
D) Without emotions, we cannot respond to good words with excitement. - According to the author’s analysis, after you read the example about giving money to that charity, you will __________.
A) cut back on your grocery spending
B) turn your back on all the other charities
C) feel as though you had committed some crime if you don’t offer some money
D) feel you can be a great man who saves numerous children - Which of the following cannot be inferred from the example about giving money to that charity?
A) You have the duty to help those starving children.
B) You are able to help those starving children.
C) Millions of children may die soon for short of food.
D) This charity is the best one in the world. - The phrase “color our understanding” in the first paragraph means “__________”.
A) make our understanding colorful
B) have a special effect on our understanding
C) cause various kinds of misunderstanding
D) enable us to have a deep understanding
