Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed
by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices
marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER
SHEET with a single line through the center.
Passage One
How much do you know about nutrition? If your knowledge is similar to that of
food shoppers who answered three surveys for the U. S. Food and Drug
Administration, then you probably share some wide-spread misinformation about
nutrition. Check your answers to the following statements. Is it true or false?
Statement 1: Fresh vegetables cooked at home are always more nutritious than
canned or frozen vegetables. False. The nutritional difference depends more on
how vegetables are handled or prepared than in whether they are bought fresh or
packaged. Overcooking, for example, destroys many nutrients. Vegetables cooked
in too much water can lose a significant amount of vitamins.
Statement 2: When dieting, avoid starchy(淀粉类) foods,
such as bread or potatoes. False. If you cut out starchy foods, such as peas,
potatoes, bread, and rice, you cut out very good sources of several B vitamins,
Vitamin C, and other nutrients. Moreover, ounce for ounce, bread and potatoes
have fewer calories than sirloin steak and roast beef.
Statement 3: Taking extra vitamins beyond the recommended daily allowances
won’t give you more energy. True. It’s widely believed that extra vitamins
provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it
function better, just as overfilling your gas tank doesn’t make your car run
faster.
If you answered these questions correctly, you can for the time being consider
yourself well informed about food and nutrition by today’s standards. But
remember that nutrition is a complex and growing science and that today’s
beliefs may be changed as new information becomes available.

A. are well informed about nutrition

A. Overcooking destroys many nutrients.

18. Which is a correct attitude towards starchy food?
A. Starchy foods are unnecessary in a balanced diet.
B. Bread and steak have the same amount of calories per ounce.
C. Valuable nutrients could be found in starchy foods.

Passage Two
Most women in Ghana--the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the
young and old--work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as
housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence,
self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved.
Most of Ghana’s working women are farmers and traders. Only
one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even
these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell.
They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who
depends entirely upon her husband for support is looked upon with
disfavor.
Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters,
grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily
tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for
the younger ones and helped in the home. Now with more children going to
school, with more people moving away from their traditional homes, not only
must the mother continue her income-producing activities, but she must take on
all the heavy, time-consuming housework.
Ghana today is looking for new ways to meet the needs of women and their
families, such as providing more day care centers, so women can continue to
play their multiple roles in the home and in the economy.
21. What is the role of most women in Ghana?
A. Handling various housework at home.
B. Taking care of children indoors.
C. Farming and trading out of house.
D. Working as well as maintaining families.
22. “self-reliance” could be explained as “__________”.
A. making great wealth
B. depending on oneself
C. caring for one’s own
D. being a reliable person
23. What kind of women do people in Ghana prefer?
A. Beautiful and charming.
B. Skillful at sewing or baking.
C. Depending totally on husbands.
D. Working hard to earn incomes.
24. Paragraph 3
describes__________.
A. how traditional extended families operate
B. why women in Ghana have more burdens now
C. how changes in life help the working women
D. the new life style of Ghana’s people
25. The author of this article probably agrees that women in
Ghana should__________.
A. stay at home and focus on family life
B. become as active as men in business
C. try to maintain their original roles
D. make a choice and stick to one role
Passage Three
The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s. After the
Civil War, the slaves were free but life was still not easy. They had to find
new work. In the South, work camps were formed. Black people from these camps
worked on farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks. During the week
the people worked long and hard. They often lived alone, without their families,
far from home. On the weekends, the workers got together at picnics or drinking
places. Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them. The musicians
sang songs about the difficult life of the workers. These songs were called the
blues.
If you have the blues it means you feel very sad. You can have the blues
because you have no money, no job, no lover, or no home. But blue songs were
not always sad. Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.
Sometimes the blues singers had song contests. Each singer sang new words or a
new style of the blues song. They made up the music as they played. In this way
they created new music. This is called improvisation. Later, improvisation
became a very important part of jazz music.
Blues began in the country in the South. As blacks moved into the big cities to
work, the blues went with them. There, they sang about life in the cities. W.
C. Handy, a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over
America. In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of all, “The St. Louis
Blues”.
26. After the Civil War, the Black people _________.
A. were mostly slaves
B. still led a hard life
C. enjoyed their new life with families
D. worked on their own farms
27. At the very beginning, the blues were _________.
A. not performed on formal occasions
B. traditional songs of the Black people
C. about the life of travelling musicians
D. very popular throughout the nation
28. What kind of emotion does the blues express?
A. Sadness
B. Happiness
C. Joking
D. All of the above
29. How did “improvisation” come into being?
A. The blues singers gathered to have contests.
B. New words were added into old songs.
C. New styles were played with guitars.
D. The blues singers created music while playing.
30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The blues were born in the country in the South.
B. The blues soon disappeared in big cities.
C. W. C. Handy is the first blues singer in US.
D. The most well-known blues song is “The St. Louis Blues”.
Passage Four
No matter who you are or where you come from, one thing is certain:you are acquainted with
the mosquito(蚊子)--although you probably wish you
weren’t. Mosquitoes are everywhere. They can be found all over the world, and
they come in more than 2,500 species. Somewhere, at some time, you have surely
met at least one.
No one loves the mosquito. But unfortunately the mosquito may decide that she
loves you. Yes, She. Only the female mosquito bites. It’s not because she’s
unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce. Female mosquito is quite selective,
and she chooses her victims carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her
victim. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and
chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But
if you don’t appeal to her, she’ll reject you for someone more appetizing. The
next time a mosquito bites you, just remember that you were chosen. You’re
special.
If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she
breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. It’s a kind of mouth and it sticks out
just below the mosquito’s eyes. She stabs the proboscis tip into your skin at
once, and if she hits a blood vessel, she’ll get a full dinner in about a
minute. After that, the mosquito is tired. Heavy with your blood, she picks a
spot---on a leave or a stone---to lay her eggs. Just one drop of blood will
produce hundreds of eggs.
31. By the sentence “you are acquainted with the mosquito--although you
probably wish you weren’t”, the author means that people _________.
A. don’t like mosquito but it is always there
B. know mosquito and wish them well
C. wish all the mosquito disappeared
D. want to be friendly to mosquito but fail at last
32. Why is it only female mosquito that bites?
A. She is more unfriendly than male.
B. She is greater in number.
C. Blood is her favorite food.
D. Blood enables her to lay eggs.
33. To select whom to bite, the mosquito’s sensors may NOT test_________.
A. the temperature of the body
B. the color of the skin
C. the chemical elements in sweat
D. the wetness of the body
34. According to the
last paragraph, the function of proboscis tip is to _______.
A. find where to bite
B. to stick into the flesh and suck blood
C. to remove the skin and collect blood
D. decide whom to reject
35. The main idea of the passage could be _______.
A. why and how mosquito bites people
B. why people dislike mosquito
C. what kind of mosquito bites people
D. how to identify female mosquito
