Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension (40 points )
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
I’m a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.
The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.
Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on (溺爱) Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.
Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no need for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.”
That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.
61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?
A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.
B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.
C. He is a relative of Judy Carson.
D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons’ house.
62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?
A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.
B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.
C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.
D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.
63. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?
A. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.
B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.
C. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.
D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.
64. Why didn’t Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter’s family?
A. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son-in-law.
B. Because she did not want to leave her own house.
C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.
D. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her to live
in.
65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Family Relationships in Canada B. The Boarder
C. My Landlady D. Nursing Homes and the Aged
Passage 2
Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.
The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.
The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.
Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make
it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.
66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?
A. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.
B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.
C. Taller trucks can pass under them.
D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.
67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?
A. Because they save money for the government.
B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.
C. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.
D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.
68. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.
B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.
C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.
D. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.
69. The underlined part “a zebra crossing” probably means _______.
A. a safe place across a road for older people to rest in
B. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its
body
C. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the road
D. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the road
70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?
A. It is inconvenient for older people to walk across the road.
B. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.
C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.
D. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult.
