I. Reading Comprehension（本题共 20 小题，每题 2 分共 40 分）

Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A.B.C and D. Choose the best answer to each question.

Passage One

If one is asked about the best way to improve one's reading ability, it is of course, to read. As a student, you must make a real effort to improve both your reading speed and your comprehension. Too many students read passively and without judgment; they simply start at the first word and read through to the end. You should read a passage actively, selectively and purposefully. You must believe that you indeed have the ability to read faster and understand more, and that you will.

Reading, like everything else in life, is best done when you are relaxed. The key to improve it is concentration. You must be willing to break some old habits and form new ones. Extra body movement, such as turning the head from side to side, pointing at the line with a finger or a pencil, or moving the lips, should be stopped immediately. Reading is mostly a mental process and body movement helps neither speed nor comprehension. Then you should see words as part of a whole sentence or paragraph, not just in isolation. This is why a slow, word-by-word student often understands far less, missing much of the joy and excitement ofreading.

The student must learn to improve reading skills on their own, and not just when a teacher is looking over his shoulder. Reading improvement takes discipline and effort. Don't give up.

1.If you want to improve your reading ability, you should .

A. read each word in the passage carefully

B. read with choice, purpose and confidence

C. start at the first word

D. read a passage completely from the beginning to the end

D. Getting Rid of Your Bad Habits While Reading

3.Best reading efficiency can be achieved if one .

A. reads paragraph by paragraph

4.According to the author, all the following are the bad habits in reading EXCEPT

”.

A. watching him

B. examining his shoulder

C. encouraging him

D. looking at someone behind him

Passage Two

Our memories can be both sweet and bitter. Many people spend all their lives to forget those bitter ones. Violence and traffic accidents, esp. can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.

Now American researchers are developing a pill which will help people forget badmemories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase, the effect of painful memories.

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body from releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.

The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.

Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.

"Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions." said Roger Pit man, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."

But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity(特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.

"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out." said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.

6.The passage is mainly about .

A. a new medical invention

B. an argument about the research on the pill

C. a way of erasing painful memories

D. a new research on the pill

7.American researchers are developing a pill to .

A. comfort those people who are in a frightening experience

B. help those people to forget their frightening experience

C. persuade those people to forget their frightening experience

D. test those people's degree of fright in a frightening experience

8.The drug tested on people can .A. prevent the body from producing certain chemicals

B. relieve people of the mental tension

C. cause the brain to fix memories

D. wipe out the memories of bad experiences

9.We can infer from the passage that .

A. people supporting the research believe that the pill will stop people's bad experiences

B. people supporting the research believe the pill will help people to reduce the harm caused by bad experiences

C. people against the research believe that the effect of the pills may not bed desirable

D. people against the research believe that the pill will cause them to make mistakes

10. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?

A. Some memories can ruin people's lives.

B. People want to get rid of bad memories.

C. The pill will reduce people's suffering from bad memories.

D. Experiencing bad events makes us different from others.

Passage Three

Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who live in them. Persons living in cities are obliged by their environment to take a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and the rhythm of the nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are difficult to obtain. and therefore are highly valued. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere. Tall building hide the sun completely. Even the distinction between day and night is lost.

11.Large modem cities impose their living condition on people in that

A. sunshine and fresh air are available

13.According to the passage, the following can be the reasons for the loss of distinction bet

ween day and night except that

A. persons living in cities live in air-conditioned houses

C. people are traveling through different time zones

D. the sun was hidden from view by tall buildings

14.If you want to know what season it is,

A. it is advisable for you to live in an air-conditioned house

B. you'd better visit a public park

C. you should go out to see the sunshine and breathe the fresh air

D. you should walk on the pavement

15.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Large modern cities are too big to control

B. Sunshine and fresh air are rare in large modern cities.

C. There are many disadvantages of living in large modern cities.

D. All the simple, good things of life are imposed on the people who live in large cities.

Passage Four

Robots in use now are taking over the blue-collar jobs of less educated Americans, but artificial intelligence (AI) is probably ready to shake up college-educated employees in higher-paying jobs. This will leave no worker unaffected by the influence of technology on the American workforce.

AI is generally regarded as programming computers to do things that normally require human intelligence-tasks such as planning, learning, reasoning and problem-solving. Muro, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, and his colleagues analyzed which jobs would be themost highly affected by artificial intelligence. What they learned is that almost every profession will feel Al's effects.

But it’s hard to predict whether AI will take the place of more highly skilled workers in the same way robots have done to lower-skilled workers. AI might create entirely new jobs for humans. "We can't really say whether AI will lead to the support of work or its opposite. Both things could happen." says Muro.

Jobs performed by people with a four-year college degree could be the hardest hit. These include market research analysts, sales managers, programmers, management analysts and engineers. Positions that are heavily involved in pattern-oriented or “predictive work” are more likely to be affected, according to the analysis.

Of course, this is not the first time American workers have been influenced or potentially influenced by technology. The challenge, as Muro sees, it is to determine how humans can add value. He believes that human beings are durable in the face of new technologies. The question is how to help people accept training again, seek new work, and how they can adjust to it, or if their careers break down from this, how to provide a better social safety net.

16.Who can AI affect most in the American workforce?

A. Senior workers.

B. Blue-collar workers.

C. More-educated employees.

D. Inexperienced employees.

17.What did Muro and his colleagues find out?

A. AI is considered as programming computers to complete tasks.

B. AI can deal with tasks such as planning and reasoning.

C. AI is better at problem-solving than humans.

D. AI can affect almost every field.

18.What can we infer from what Muto says?

A. AI will replace some skilled workers.

B. AI will play as a double-edged sword.

C. AI will develop in the same way as robots.

D. AI will create entirely new jobs for humans.

19.Which of the following positions are NOT likely to be replaced by AI?

A. Management analysts.

B. Sales managers.

C. Programmers.

D. Fashion designers.

20.What should human beings do in face of the challenges posed by AI?

A. Use their potential to adjust to it.

B. Work harder than before.

C. Wait for another opportunity.

D. Learn to be durable.
