Part II Reading compression(30 points)

Passage One

Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, then you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from the tremendous rise in the cases of burglary and assault.

Figures indicate an ever-increasing crime rate but it is only too easy to imagine “it will never happen to me’. Unfortunately, statistics show that it really can happen to you and, if you live in a large city, you run twice the risk of being a victim.

Fortunately, there is something definite which you can do. Protect Alarms can help to protect your house with a burglar alarm system which is effective, simple to operate and easily affordable.

You must remember that possessing a burglar alarm is no indication that your house is packed with valuable possessions. It quite simply indicates to unwelcome visitors that yours is one house they will not break into easily so they carry on to an unprotected house where their job is made a lot easier.

Send now for our free leaflet telling you how we can protect Alarm your house quickly, easily and cheaply. Complete and tear off the slip below and post it to us. Postage is free. Alternatively, telephone us on 3276721 where we have a round-the-clock answering service. It costs nothing to find out about Protect Alarms.

46. Anyone who takes an interest in the crime rate will, according to the text, be aware that________.

A. more burglars are being caught than ever beforeB. people have more possessions to worry about nowadays

D. homes are more likely to be broken into nowadays.

47. It seems that people who live in cities are________.

50. In order to find out information about this alarm system, one can________.

A. buy a leaflet

B. write enclosing a stamped , addressed envelope

Passage Two

Criticism is judgment. A critic is a judge. A judge must study and think about the material presented to him, accept it, correct it or reject it after thinking over what he has read, watched or heard.

Another word for criticism is appreciation. When I criticize or appreciate some object or another, I look for its good points and its bad points. In reading any printed or written matter, I always have a pencil in hand and put any comments in the book or on a separate piece of paper. In other words, I always talk back to the writer.

That sort of critical reading might well be called creative reading because I am thinking along with the writer, asking him questions, seeing whether he answers the questions and how well he answers them. I mark the good passages to store them in my memory and ask myself about every other part and about the complete piece of writing: where, how and why could or should I improve upon it?

Reading critically helps me to develop and refine my emotions to the point where I can tell whether a report, a story or a poem is genuinely humane or not—whether the writer is an honest writer.

Finally, reading will and must broaden my sympathies, expand my love for others and set it in action. How can a person who has a bit of kindness in his heart read about all the miseries and tragedies that people and nations have and not want to do and actually do what he can to relieve those people in every way he can and as much as he can?

I have not said that reading makes a wise man, but a wise person who reads will deepen his wisdom and be of greater benefit to the rest of his fellowmen. Such reading will continuehis education. It will fill out what a person had not learned in school or what he had not thoroughly grasped or previously thought through. As Bacon well said, “Reading makes a full man”.

A. sad events

A. sensitive to the feelings of others

Passage Three

Bill Fuller, the postman, whistled cheerfully as he pushed his bicycle up the hill towards old Mrs. Dunley’s house. His work for the day was almost finished; his bag, usually quite heavy when he set out on his round, was empty now except for the letter that the had to deliver to Mrs. Dunley. She lived over a mile from the village so that, when Bill had a letter for her, he always finished his day’s work much later. He did not mind this, however, because she never failed to ask him in for a cup of tea.

When Bill entered the gate of Mrs. Dunley’s house, he was surprised not to find her working in her garden. She usually spent most afternoons there when the weather was fine. Bill went straight round to the back of the house, thinking that she might be in the kitchen. The door was locked and the curtains were drawn. Puzzled, he returned to the front of the house and knocked hard on the door. There was no answer. Bill thought that this was very strange because he knew that Mrs. Dunley rarely left the house.

Just then he noticed that her bottle of milk, which was delivered early in the morning, was still on the doorstep. This worried him. If Mrs. Dunley had not taken in her milk, perhaps she was ill. Bill walked round the house until he found an open window. It was small, but he just managed to squeeze through. He went into the hall. There he almost fell over Mrs. Dunley, who was lying at the foot of the stairs, unconscious. Realizing that there was little hecould do for her, Bill rushed out of the house, stopped a passing car and told the driver to telephone for an ambulance as soon as he got to the village.

58. The thing that especially worried Bill was __________.

A. finding the back door locked and the curtains drawn

B. seeing her bottle of milk on the doorstep

C.not getting any answer when he knocked on the door

D.not finding Mrs. Dunley in the garden

Part III Cloze(10 points)

I passed all the other courses that I took at my university, but I could never passbotany. This was because all botany students 61 to spend several hours a week in a laboratory looking through a microscope at plant cells, and I could never see any thing through a microscope. I never once saw a cell through a microscope. This used to 62 my professor. He would wander 63 the lab with progress all the students were making in drawing the complicated and, so I am told, interesting structure of flower cells, until he came to me .I would just be standing there.“I can’t see anything .” I would say. He would begin patiently65 , explaining how everybody can see through a microscope, but he would always end 66 in a fury, claiming the I could certainly see through a microscope but was just 67 that I couldn’t. “It takes away from the beauty of flowers anyway ,” I used to tell him . “We are not 68 with beauty in this course, “he would say . “We are dealing solely with what I may call the mechanics of flowers.” Well, I would say “I can’t see anything .” “Try it just 69.” he’d say, and I would put my eye to the microscope and see nothing at all, 70 now and then something that looked like milk. You were 71 to see a vivid, restless mechanism of sharply defined plant cells. “I see what looks like a lot of milk,” I would tell him.This , he said ,was

the result of my not having adjusted the microscope properly, so he would readjust it for me, or rather for himself. And I would look again and see milk.

I finally took a deferred pass, as they called it, and waited a year and tried again. (You had to pass one of the biological sciences or you couldn’t graduate). The professor 72 come back from vacation brown as a berry, bright-eyed, and 73 to explain botany again. “Well,” he said to me cheerily，when we met in the first laboratory hour of the semester, “we’re going to see cells this time, 74 ?” “Yes, sir,” I said. Students to the right of me and left of me and in front of me were seeing cells; 75 more, they were quietly drawing pictures of them in their notebooks. Of course, I didn’t see anything.

“We’ll try it,” the professor said to me, grimly, “with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. As God is my witness, I’ll 76 this glass so that you see cells through it or I’ll 77 teaching. In twenty-two years of botany…!” He cut off abruptly for he was beginning to shake all over and he genuinely wished to hold on to his temper: his scenes with me has taken a great deal out of him.

So we tried it with every adjustment of the microscope known to man. With only one of them 78 I see anything but blackness or the familiar milk, and that time I saw, to my pleasure and amazement, a beautiful constellation of flecks, specks and dots. These I hastily drew. The professor, noting my activity, came back from an adjoining desk, a smile on his lips and his eyebrows high in hope. He looked at my cell drawing. “What’s that?” he demanded. “That’s what I saw,” I said. “You didn’t, you didn’t, YOU DIDN’T!” he screamed, losing 79 of his temper instantly, and he bent over and looked into the microscope. His head snapped up. “That’s your eye!” he shouted. “You’ve fixed the microscope 80 it reflects. You’ve drawn your eye!”
