第三部分 閱讀理解 (共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

    閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A

A new study suggests that very young children who watch a lot of television may have attention problems later in school.

Children with attention problems cannot sit still or control their actions. They talk too much, lose things, forget easily and are not able to finish tasks.

People with attention problems may suffer a condition known as Attention Deficit(缺乏) Disorder(紊亂), or A.D.D. Experts say the cause of A.D.D involves chemicals in the brain. Teachers say many children in the United States are showing signs of the disorder. Some education researchers have been saying for years that watching television at a very young age could change the normal development of the brain. For example, they say that children who watch a lot of television are not able to sit and read for an extended period of time.

The new study tested the idea that television watching by very young children is linked to attention problems by the age of seven. It involved more than one-thousand-three-hundred children. There were two groups of children, ages one and three. Researchers at Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center in Seattle, Washington reported the results in the medical magazine. They asked the parents how often the children watched television. The parents also described their children’s actions at the age of seven using a method that can tell if someone suffers attention deficit disorders.

The children who watched a lot of television at an early age were most likely to have attention problems. Every hour of watching television increased the chances of having attention problems by about ten per cent.

The researchers say that all the children with attention problems might not have A.D.D. But they still could face major learning problems in school. The findings support advice by a group of children’s doctors that children under the age of two should not watch television.

One of the researchers said there are other reasons why children should not watch television. Earlier studies have linked it with children becoming too fat and too aggressive(likely to fight). Other experts say the new study is important, but more work needs to be done to prove the findings and better explain the cause and effect.

56. We can infer from the passage that ___________________________.

       A. Children who watch a lot of TV don’t know anything at school.

       B. Children who watch a lot of TV know more about the world than other children.

       C. Usually Americans watch a lot of TV

       D. Americans are facing serious problems now.

57. According to the passage, it is true except that ___________________.

       A. It might have taken the researchers 4 to 6 years to do the test.

       B. Children shouldn’t watch TV for about three reasons.

       C. If a child of 7 years old watches TV 3 hours a day, he is thirty percent more likely to

      have attention problems than those who watch no television.

       D. Scientists are still studying the cause and effect of the problem

58. We can learn from the passage that ___________________

       A. Some students with no A.D.D may have learning problems

       B. No students with attention problems has A. D. D

       C. No students with attention problems has learning problems

       D. Some students with A.D.D do well at school

59. The best title of this passage should be _________________.

       A. Attention Deficit Disorder

       B. An Education problem----Television

       C. Television and Attention Problems

       D. Children and Television

“Dutch” expressions heard in American English were first used in the 17th century. That was a time of fierce competition between England and Holland. At that time, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad, or false.

     A Dutch agreement was one made between men who had drunk too much alcohol. Dutch leave was what a soldier took when he left his base without permission.

Some of these old expressions are still used today with a little different meaning. Long ago, a Dutch treat or to go Dutch was a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share.

Another common expression heard a few years ago was “In Dutch”. If someone told you that you were in Dutch, they meant that you were in trouble.

Some of the Dutch expressions heard in American English have nothing to do with the Dutch people at all. In the seventeen hundreds, Germans who moved to the United States often were called Dutch. During the American Civil War, supporters of the northern side in the central state of Missouri were called Dutch, because many of them were German settlers. President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that anything foreign and non-English was called Dutch.

 

60. Why does the word “Dutch” often have a negative (not good) meaning in English?

       A. Because in the 17th century, the Dutch were timid (膽小的)

       B. Because in the 17th century, the Dutch often drank a lot of alcohol.

       C. Because in the 17th century, the Dutch often fought with the British.

       D. Because in the 17th century, the Dutch didn’t like to pay for others.

61. If one of your friends collects 60 yuan from you to go to have a meal together, you can use

   “_____”.

       A. A Dutch                                 B. Go Dutch

       C. In Dutch                                D. Dutch leave

62. Which of the following statements is true?

       A. The original meaning of “Dutch” refers to the people in the British.

       B. “Dutch” sometimes means all that is non-English in American English.

       C. The Dutch uncles are often very severe.

       D. “Dutch” expressions in English didn’t come from the Dutch at all.

63. What’s the passage mainly about?

       A. Telling us that “Dutch” is not a good word.

       B. Showing that “Dutch” means differently between the British and the American

       C. Telling us there was fierce competition between England and Holland.

       D. Helping us enlarge the knowledge about the word “Dutch”.

Composition classes at George Mason teach writing as a process. Teachers there ask students to use writing not simply as a way of communicating a paper, for example, you may go through the processes of discovery, reading, revising, and editing.

Many teachers introduce their students to techniques which use writing to lead to thinking. Often, as thinkers, we don’t know (or remember) everything that we do really know. Writing helps us to discover what we know, and work out what we need to know. Teachers there may begin or end a class with a wring exercise or ask you to prepare to write a paper through a series of exercises.

You may suddenly meet free-writing, where you are asked to write your unedited thoughts on a particular topic, idea or experience for a fixed period. This technique can often help an essay or other work become more successful. Brainstorming is a more focused technique during which you consciously note all your ideas, questions, facts and figures about a topic. Some teachers may ask you to write poems or imagine your experiences as you change your place in time or space. In writing to learn, you discover your destination (your new ideas) as you write.

Most teachers ask students to read each other’s drafts in classroom workshop. Not all of your reviewers will agree about your paper. As a writer, you need to decide which suggestions would help you communicate your ideas most clearly.

 

64. The whole time to complete a piece of writing is also ___.

       A. the processes of discovery, reading, revising, and editing

       B. the most important process of exam

       C. one period to be used for watching

       D. an important period of having a short rest

65. We can find that writing____.

       A. is the base of reading

       B. is the only way to practice in a school

       C. is both a way of communicating, a way of discovering and developing new ideas

       D. is the best way of teaching

66. The author’s main topic in this text is that ____.

       A. most teachers ask students to read before writing

       B. free-writing is a hard task in classroom

       C. writing a paper through a series of exercises is the best way

       D. writing is a process of discovery, creating and developing new ideas

 

D

    It is often said that most Americans vote with their wallets, and so a voter’s guide to where the two presidential competitors stand on taxes certainly comes in handy.

Over the past four years, President Bush has twice signed laws reducing individual tax rates on income in all groups, and he has repeatedly called on Congress to make these tax cuts for long, saying failure to do so would have the same effect with a tax hike and threaten prospects for a strong economic recovery.

Congressional analysts say making the tax cuts for long would cost about $13 trillion over the next 10 years.

For his part, Sen.John Kerry wants to continue Bush’s tax relief for lower and middle-income earners, but he suggests canceling tax cuts for Americans earning more than $200,000 a year, and he says he’ll use the extra money to provide money for new policies, like healthcare reform.

A married couple with two children and an annual family income of $250,000 can expect to pay $1,300 more annually in taxes, according to a Deloitte Tax LLP analysis. The family’s saving under the existing tax law is $5,380, compared with tax rates that existed in 2000.

The same family, if it had a family income of $180,000, would see no change in their tax bill under Kerry’s tax plan according to Deloitte’s analysis.

“The battleground for the two (tax) plans is how Bush and Kerry treat families and individuals with income over $200,000,” said Clint Stetch, director of tax policy at Deloitte Tax LLP.

 

67. American voters mostly care for ________ when they vote.

       A. the income from the government

       B. the taxes they have to pay

       C. the ability of the presidential rivals

       D. economic recovery

68. What does the underlined phrase “to do so” mean in the second paragraph?

       A. To vote with their wallet

       B. To sign legislation reducing individual tax rates on income in all groups

       C. To make the individual tax rates on income cut permanent

       D. To amount to a tax hike

69. If Kerry’s tax plan is approved, a household income of $500,000 will probably pay

   about __________ more annually in tax.

       A. $2,600                B. $5,380          C. $1,300          D. $2,000

70. There is no doubt that ________ would pay more under Kerry’s tax plan.

       A. lower-income families                           B. middle-income families   

       C. higher-income families                          D. all families

Stavanger is located in the area Rogaland in the south-west coast of Norway. The people that live here are still arguing whether they belong to the south of the country or if they can regard themselves as true westerners. So far they have not been able to reach a conclusion. The history of the city is long, for example, the leading church in the middle of Stavanger (Domkirken) dates back to 1125 if I’m not mistaken. This old church today is one of the sights in Stavanger. No, it is not as big as Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) or other important churches in the big European cities. It is a small leading church and the most unique thing is that it is built in both Roman and Gothic(哥特式)style. The reason for this is of course that the church was put to fire and it took quite a long time to finish the project. But today it is located in the middle of town and lots of people get married here every summer.

      My wife is from south Africa and the first time in July she came to Norway. She was very surprised to find that Norway was green and warm. It has to be said that the summer she came here was an unusual warm summer. One of the great disadvantages of living in Stavanger is the unpredictable weather. It has been said that we can have 4 seasons in one day. Well, I don’t know about that. I can agree to 3 seasons in one day because we don’t have much of a winter here anyway. But when the weather is great in July and August that is when I love Stavanger the most. So what is there to see here? Well, I would recommend a bit. There are two places that are great: Kjerag and Prekestolen (Pulpit rock).

 

71. What’s the problem of the people in Stavanger?

       A. Which part do they belong to?

       B. Which country do they live in?

       C. What race do they belong to?

       D. When will they become westerners?

72. Which one is NOT a suitable statement about the leading church in the middle of Stavanger?

       A. It dates back to 1125

       B. It is the leading and the biggest one in all the European cities.

       C. It is one of the sights in Stavanger.

       D. Lots of people get married in the old church every summer now.

73. The church in the middle of Stavanger is quite different; the reason is that ________.

       A. it is one of the newest churches in Europe

       B. people no longer go to this leading church

       C. it is built by local workers

       D. the church was exposed to fire and it took quite a long time to finish the project

74. That July in Stawanger the author’s wife found was green and warm, but____.

       A. it is the hottest time of one year

       B. every traveler always likes choosing this time to stay in Stavanger

       C. the weather in Stavanger is unpredictable and there are 4 seasons in one day

       D. it is spring in Norway

75. The author’s favorite time in Stavanger is _____according to his statement.

       A. winter                                 B. July and August

       C. summer                                D. May and June
