　　Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four

　　questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose

　　one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

　　Passage One

　　There has been, in history, a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived to tell the tale. The

　　man's name is James Bartley. The records to prove his unusual experience are in the British Admirahy.

　　Bartley was making his first trip on the whaling ship Star of the East. Suddenly the lookout sighteda huge sperm whale. The whalers knew it was a huge whale by the size of the spray it blew into the air.They lowered their small boats. James Bartley was in the first longboat. The men rowed until they wereclose to the whale. A harpoon was thrown and it found its mark. It sank into the whale's flesh. Themaddened beast crashed into the boat, snapping its tail at the men and the wreckage of their boats.When the survivors were picked up, James Bartley was missing.

　　Shortly before sunset, the whale was finally captured. The sailors tied the whale's dead-body to

　　the side of the ship. Because of the hot weather it was important that they cut up the whale right away.Otherwise, the meat would begin to rot and the oil would begin to spoil. When they got to the stomach,they felt something moving about wildly. They thought it would be a big fish still alive inside. Butwhen they opened the stomach they found James Bartley. After this trip, Bartley settled in England,and never returned to sea.

　　36. This passage is mainly about

　　A. how to hunt whales for their oil and meat

　　B. the hard and dangerous lives that whalers had to live

　　C. the duties of each man on a whaling ship

　　D. a man who was swallowed by a whale and lived

　　37. The sailors knew that something was in the whale's stomach because

　　A. they could feel it moving about wildly

　　B. the whale seemed very heavy

　　C. the whale was swelling at one spot

　　D. the captain heard Bartley yelling for help

　　38. James Bartley probably never went to sea again because

　　A. he wanted different kinds of adventures

　　B. of fright and shock

　　C. he was crippled by the whale

　　39. The author, in telling James Bartley's story, informs us by

　　A. narrating the plain facts

　　B. referring to whaling in general

　　C. comparing whaling to other fishing

　　D. dramatically telling what happened

　　Passage Two

　　Never laugh at a snow covered mountain! Laughter and yelling, during the avalanche season, cancause a deadly pile of snow. Huge snow slides are most common in mountains where there are steepslopes that are well buried in snow and ice. The snow builds up slowly and lands very softly. This cancreate a very touchy,unstablesituation. Tons of snow may be held up by only the friction between snowflakes. The deep snow is like a house of cards. The slightest movement can cause it to fall. As soon as something slips, this great mass of snow will come crashing down the mountainside.

　　Slides may be started by sound vibrations. They may also be started by the weight of wet, melting snow. Once an avalanche has been triggered, the cause no longer matters. Moving down a steep slope, it picks up great speed and added snow. Some avalanches travel as fast as two hundred miles per hour. The force of an avalanche will mow down anything in its path. Whole houses have been swallowed up by these fast-paced piles of snow.

　　The wind that is caused by an avalanche is almost as destructive as the snow itself. Winds from an avalanche have been known to travel as fast as those of a tornado. So, when approaching a thickly snow covered mountain, speak softly!

　　40. Avalanches can be started by

　　A. falling snow

　　B. the wind

　　C. loud sounds

　　D. friction between snowflakes

　　41. We can conclude from this passage that avalanches

　　A. are common everywhere

　　B. are not very common

　　C. have killed people

　　D. are a thing of the past

　　42. The writer compares an avalanche to

　　A. a tornado

　　B. a falling house of cards

　　C. a snowstorm

　　D. a speeding train

　　43. In this passage "unstable" means

　　A. frightening

　　B. fast

　　C. shaky

　　D. undesirable

　　Passage Three

　　Staff Sgt. Nicholas Lanier has entered what he calls the "vast unknown. " A combat veteran and

　　father to four daughters, he can't remain in the military because of a serious back injury earned inIraq.

　　But he can't yet accept a civilian job because he doesn't know when the military will discharge(使

　　退伍) him. He has no clue how much the government will pay him in disability compensation relatedto his injury, so he can't make a future budget. He just waits.

　　Thousands of troops are like Lanier: not fully fit to serve but in limbo (无着落) for about two

　　years waiting to get discharged under a new system that was supposed to be more efficient than itspredecessor. And the delays are not only affecting service members, but the military's readiness aswell. New troops can't enlist until others are discharged.

　　The government determines the pay and benefits given to wounded, sick or injured troops for theirmilitary service. Under the old system, a medical board would determine their level of militarycompensation and the service member would be discharged. Then the veteran essentially would have togo through the process again with the Veterans Affairs Department to determine benefits.

　　Under the new system, which started in 2007 and will be completely rolled out at military bases

　　nationwide by the end of September, the service member essentially goes through both disability

　　evaluation systems at the same time before leaving the military. But the new, supposedly streamlined,system is still such a cumbersome process that it's leaving many service members in limbo, they say.

　　44. Why can't Sgt. Lanier serve in the military anymore?

　　A. Because of his injured back.

　　B. Because of his hand.

　　C. Because his vision has worsened.

　　D. Because he has a civilian job.

　　45. Under the old system, an injured soldier would have to go through the claims process

　　A. once

　　B. twice

　　C. three times

　　D. more times

　　46. Is the new system better than the old system?

　　A. Yes, it's much better.

　　B. It is a lot more effective.

　　C. It doesn't seem that way.

　　D. No. It' s worse.

　　47. How much will the government pay Sgt. Lanier in disability compensation?

　　A. They won't pay him anything.

　　B. He doesn't know.

　　C. They will pay him about $2,500 per month.

　　D. The government hash' t decided.

　　Passage Four

　　You know that pearls grow inside oysters, but would you ever think to look for diamonds inside anostrich ? Well, a hunter once shot an ostrich and discovered, to his great surprise, that the big bird hadswallowed a bunch of diamonds. How could such a strange thing happen?

　　Like many other birds, the ostrich swallows small stones that stay inside its " gizzard. " Thegizzard is a bird's second stomach. It is where the food is ground up. The small stones help to grind upthe food so it can be digested.They do the chewing,because birds don't have teeth. In the case of theostrich with the diamonds, the bird simply had expensive taste in rocks. He used the diamonds to helpdigest his dinner.

　　Diamonds and stones aren't all that an ostrich will swallow. If there are no stones around, it will

　　eat just about anything. Sadly for ostriches in zoos this can be a fatal habit. The tendency to swallowanything it sees has caused the death of many an ostrich. Cruel or careless people often throw thingsinto the bird's living space. They throw keys, coins, even large objects such as horseshoes. Theostrich swallows them without hesitation. Coins can be the worst. Inside the ostrich they wear down toa razor sharp edge. They will cut open the bird's gizzard from the inside. One young zoo ostrich diedwith 484 coins, weighing more than eight pounds, in its gizzard.

　　48. Ostriches eat stones because they don't have

　　A. enough food

　　B. bird seed

　　C. teeth

　　D. diamonds

　　49. The ostrich is not smart enough to

　　A. digest its own food

　　B. eat only diamonds

　　C. avoid eating harmful objects

　　D. escape from the zoo

　　50. The phrase "they do the chewing" makes the rocks seem as though they are

　　A. important

　　B. alive

　　C. dangerous

　　D. uncomfortable

　　51. "Fatal" is another word for

　　A. foolish

　　B. careless

　　C. deadly

　　D. cruel

　　Passage Five

Rain, sleet, snow and cold called the plays.Baseball fans have often sat in the rain without cover, waiting for the sun to come out and the game tobegin. Football lovers sometimes took days to warm up after sitting through a freezing cold Sundaygame. For both sports fans and players, the domed stadium was like something out of a dream.

But there were some problems for the players. Baseball outfielders had the most difficult time. They had to learn to catch in a field with a roof. Atfirst this was almost as difficult as playing in the dark. The glass of the roof was light colored, to letsunlight in. Sunlight was needed to keep the grass on the field alive. But the light roof blended(混合)too welt with the white baseball. Fly balls seemed to drop out of nowhere. Even skilled fielders weremaking errors.
