PartⅡ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage 1
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don’t, and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and promptly useful bits.
The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illuminating piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment (启蒙运动)to be told by any of us how little we know and how confusing seems the way ahead .It is this sudden confrontation(对抗)with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up storied to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant, the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots andhere and there the not so bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted. But we are making a beginning, and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can’t think up, ever, and therefore, limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, and pay attention.

Passage 2
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when, for some reason, we cannot obtain it. It has been known to man for at least 3,000 years, but has come into common use only in modern times. Until quite recently it was considered as a medicine and as a luxury for the very rich only.
Sugar is, then, very important to our civilization, but what exactly is it? Of course, most of us recognize sugar immediately as the sweet material which we put in coffee or cakes. This common form of sugar is derived from two plants: the sugar cane (a type of grass which grows to a height of twenty feet) and the sugar beet (which grows underground. But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the chemist recognizes hundreds of different varieties, each coming from a different source. About 90% of the sugar produced as food. Only 10% is used in industry for purposes other than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the basis of chemicals. It can even be used for making plastics. In the future these potential uses will certainly be developed more than in the past.
There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar. Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foods. Thus sugar cane and beet produce an average of 7,000,000 calories per acre. In this way they have the advantage over potatoes which give only 4,000,000, while figure for wheat and beans is 2,000,000 each. So three acres of land growing wheat and potatoes give only slightly more energy than one acre of sugar.
26. The heading of Paragraph one may be ___.
A) What sugar is B) Sugar Through the Ages
C) The Advantages of Sugar D) Present and Future Uses of Sugar
27. The third paragraph emphasizes____.
A) about 90% of sugar used as food B) only 10% used in industry
C) sugar used for making plastics D) future uses of sugar
28. Sugar has been used widely ___.
A) for 3,000 years B) in modern times C) quite recently D) for 300 years
29. How many common forms of sugar are exemplified in this passage?
A) One. B) Two. C) One hundred. D) Several hundreds.
30. The main reason why we should increase the production of sugar is ____.
A) it tastes sweet B) we can save plenty of land
C) we can get more energy D) it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy food
Passage 3
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
The nervous-looking young man hesitated for a few moments outside the jeweler’s before summoning up the courage to enter. He was cordially greeted by a young assistant who offered to help him. James felt a rush of blood to his face as he explained he would be bringing in his fiancee to choose an engagement ring later that day. The assistant listened attentively and assured him that the best way to proceed would be to make up a couple of trays of rings which would suit both the young man’s pocket and the young lady’s tastes. James visibly calmed down. Obviously they were used to this kind of predicament (困境).He wasn’t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending. Getting married was an expensive business but hopefully it would be a once in a life - time occasion. After some discussion as to a suitable price-range and the variety of styles and materials which his fiancee might like, the sales assistant showed him a couple of dozen rings and offered to set them aside. James approved her choice and much relieved, left the shop promising to return at five o’clock. When, half an hour later than planned, he finally did return to the shop, accompanied by his fiancee, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. On being asked to show them some engagement rings she first brought out a rather inexpensive selection, giving the couple the opportunity to reject them before showing them the two trays she had prepared.

Passage 4
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
As she walked round the huge department store, Edith reflected how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas present for her father. She wished that he was easy to please as her mother, who was always delighted with perfume(香水).
Besides, shopping at this time of the year was a most disagreeable experience: people trod on your toes, poked (戳) you with their elbows and almost knocked you over in their haste to get to a bargain ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter where some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant assured her, trying to tempt her. “Worth double the price.” But Edith knew from the past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on reluctantly and then quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some good quality pipes on sale and the prices were very reasonable. Edith did not hesitate for long: although her father only smoked a pipe occasionally, she knew that this was a present, which was bound to please him.

Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension（略）
Passage One
【文章大意】
很难预测科学，而且如果真是科学，也就不可能去预测，如果发现的东西是新生事物，那么它们预先是无法为人所知的。过去一百年，生物学最大的发现是我们对自然一无所知。20世纪科学最重要的贡献是发现人类无知的深度和范围。在早些时候，我们要么假装知道事物的规律，要么对此置之不理或者用编故事的方式来搪塞，可现今我们知道问题有多麻烦，我们对此知道的却是多么少，但我们毕竟开始意识到了，这些问题迟早会得到解决的。可能还有些问题我们没有想到，但这是另一回事，超过了我们的智力范围。21. B .“根据作者的意思，真正的科学是无法预知的”。第一段我们看到“...if it is really good science it is impossible to predict.” predict 在这里就是 foresee, know in advance 因此，选项B是正确的。
22. A .由第二段可知，人类对世界几乎是一无所知。但“It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightment to be told by any of us how little we know and how confusing seems the way ahead.” 十八世纪的科学家却认为他们无所不知。因此，选项A是正确的。
23. C .第二段“In earlier times, We either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps.”由此可见，选项A.B.D.均在文中被提到，只有选项C.的内容没有提到。因此，选项C是正确答案。
24.C .由文中最后一段可知。“There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t be answered, sooner or later.”尽管有困难，但人类迟早会解决这些问题。因此，选项C是对的。
25. A.本题同24题相同“There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t be answered, sooner or later.”因此，选项A是正确的。
Passage Two

26.B.本文第一段讲述了糖的历史，因此选项B是正确的，本题考核对文章整体理解能力。

28.B.本文第一段“...but has come into common use only in modern times.”可见，选项B是正确的。29.B.本文第二段“This common form of sugar is derived from two plants: the sugarcane and the sugar beet.”因此，选项B是正确的。
30.D.本文最后一段提到“There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar.Most important is that it is one of the most highly concentrated of energy foods.”因此，选项D是正确的。
