Part III Reading Comprehension (40%) (35 minutes)
Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passages is followed by five 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 center.
Passage One
Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.
A range of new commuting bikes are promising to make everyday travel by bicycle as comfortable and fashionable as it is cheap. They also allow you to combine workout（锻炼）with transportation. “It’s convenient; it keeps me fit; and it saves money,” says Scott Infanger, a professor at the University of North Alabama, who regularly bikes his daughter, Elizabeth, 7, to school on the way to his nearby office.
Bike stores and manufactures across the nation are reporting a significant rise lately in sales. “They’re selling out of all the commuting bikes—all bikes, actually—that they can get their hands on,” says Bill Fields, a consultant who has followed the bicycle industry for decades. Fields predicts a 20 percent increase in the “comfort bikes”, which includes commuting bikes, by the end of the year.
One big block to a rise in bike commuting is a concern about safety. In 2006, 773 people were killed bicycling, and tens of thousands injured. Rutgers researchers who compared the safety pf walking, biking, and driving found that, per kilometer traveled, bicycle fatalities（死亡人数）were 11 times higher than car fatalities.
Still, experts say, the story has another side. In the Rutger’s study, the rate of pedestrian（行人）fatalities associated with walking on the sidewalk was a fill 36 times higher than car fatalities. One Danish study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found that because of the health benefits of bicycle commuting, the death rate among noncyclists was 39 percent higher than among the bikers.
33. According to professor Infanger, bike commuting is C .
A）economical , comfortable and convenient
B）fast , economical and healthy
C）convenient , healthy and economical
D）convenient , fashionable and healthy
34. Which of the following shows that more and more people travel by bike?D
A）It is difficult for customers to buy bicycles.
B）There is a 20 percent increase in production.
C）All bikes are actually sold out in the nation.
D）Bike stores do not have many bicycles in store.
35. According to the passage, more people will consider bike commuting if C .
A）bikes are made more comfortable
B）they live closer to where they work
C）there is less concern about its safety
D）they travel within one kilometer
36. The Rutgers study shows that it is most dangerous D .
A）to travel by driving B）to become a cyclist
C）to travel by bicycle D）to walk on the sidewalk
37. By saying “the story has another side”, the experts probably mean that A .
A）the benefits of cycling outweigh the risk
B）bicycling is more dangerous than driving
C）it may not be worthwhile to take the risks
D）cycling is not dangerous on the sidewalk
Passage Two
Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.
Once in Britain, family members would all get annoyed at the phone call while watching TV programs like The Two Ronnies. This does not often happen now—we are either twice as smart or twice as inattensive as we used to be.
Ofcon’s research demonstrates that the British have become a nation of media junkies（成瘾者）. Now they spend more time on the Internet and do much net visiting while watching television. It is unlikely that the whole family will be in the living room these days—unless Doctor Who is on.
Ofcon’s data show that despite all the distractions（分心）offered by the Internet, which were supposed to threaten the basis of television viewing , the British remain fixed on the small screen.
The average time spent in front of TV fixed at 3 hours and 38 minutes a day, only 6 minutes down from 2003 . Radio listening has suffered a little more in that time, but every person still spends a further 2 hours and 44 minutes a day with the radio on in the background.
What has changed is that traditional media no longer occupy all attention for those under 45.
About a third of 16 to 44-year-olds admit using their computer while watching television. Well over half of them will pick up the mobile when watching EastEnders.
It’s a change in habits making us worry about the change of tradition-but in reality it’s a natural response to the increasing media.
38. The TV program that probably appeals to all family members now is D .
A）The Two Ronnies B）a traditional program
C）EastEnders D）Doctor Who
39. According to the passage, people used to A .

C）visit the Internet much more often than they watch TV
D）prefer the Internet to TV for their information
41. How much time did the average British spend a day in front of TV in 2003?B
A）2 hours and 44 minutes. B）3 hours and 44 minutes.
C）3 hours and 6 minutes D）2 hours and 6 minutes.
42. Ofcom’s data show that the habit of those under 45 has changed so that they A .

D）are always talking to someone on the mobile phone
Passage Three
Questions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.
Tiny people might be living inside of your computer—eating, sleeping, and going to school just like you do. But don’t be alarmed: This civilization isn’t real. The people are characters from the game The Sims, the best-selling creation of Will Wright’s.
After graduation, Wright got a job working on a typical fighting video game called Raid on Bangeling Bay. In this game, the player drops bombs on a city. Wright found that his favorite part of the design process was creating the landscape（风景）, not destroying it.
Wright’s dream, like that of many of his friends, was to produce his own video game. He designed Simcity, but for years couldn’t find anyone willing to invest the money needed to put it on the market. Then one day, he met computer-game producer Jeff Braun, who loved the idea of a noncombative（非打斗的）game. Together they formed a small company—and a whole new type of video game called “Simulation（模拟）Reality” that allow players to build virtual societies. Simcity came out soon, followed by The Sims eleven years later.
“We spend a lot of time doing research before we start making the games—usually about a year or two,” says Wright. “For my latest game, Spore, I started the research process about six years ago.”
Today, Wright employs a large team of computer programmers, designers, and graphic artists to help him bring his ideas to life. He owes his success to three things: his curiosity, his persistence, and his team.
43. What did Will Wright create in The Sims?C
A）A best-selling movie. B）A complicated computer.
C）A virtual society. D）A fighting video game.

A）They put video games on the market for the first time.
B）They defeated the competition from combative game.
C）They produced two video games: Simcity and The Sims.
D）They created simulation reality in video games.
46. According to Wright, his success results directly from all below EXCEPT A .
A）marketing B）curiosity C）teamwork D）persistence
47. Which of the following statement is TRUE according to the passage?A
A）For years, lack of investment prevented Wright from marketing Simcity.
B）Simulation reality can be applied to both combative and noncombative games.
C）It took eleven years for Wright and Braun to do the research for Simcity.
D）Wright and Braun have so far produced two games: Simcity and The Sims.
Passage Four
Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.
Over the centuries, scientists have been trying hard to find satisfactory substitutes for precious stones（宝石）but failed many times.
Many years ago, a chemist surprised the world by saying: “It should be possible to make a precious stone that not only looks like the real thing, but that is the real thing. The only difference should be that one crystal would be made by man, the other by nature.”
At first this did not seem like a particularly hard task. Scientists began to try making synthetic diamonds towards the end of the eighteenth century and discovered a key scientific fact: diamonds are a form of carbon, which is a very common element.
Then, why not change a cheap and plentiful substance, carbon, into a rare and expensive one, diamond? This change takes place in nature, so it should be possible to make it happen in the laboratory.
It should be possible, but for 150 years every effort failed though several people believed that they had solved the diamond riddle during this period.
The real success came after the scientists realized that, in changing carbon into diamonds, unbelievably heavy pressure and extremely high temperature are indispensable, and carbon needs to be dissolved（溶解）in a melted（融化）metal that helps the reaction to take place more easily.
Under these conditions, a number of shiny crystals were produced in the laboratories of the General Electric Company. The results of carful analysis showed that the chemist was right: these jewels of the laboratory were not like diamonds, they were diamonds.
48. In the 2nd paragraph, what is the chemist trying to say?B
A）It is a real thing that man was able to make a precious stone as nature can do.
B）Man should be able to make a precious stone that is exactly the same as a natural one.
C）There is only a little difference between a man-made crystal and a natural-made one.
D）Scientists expect a small difference between a man-made crystal and a nature-made one.
49. After the key scientific fact was discovered, the scientists A .
A）felt it even harder to succeed in making synthetic diamonds
B）soon succeeded in changing cheap carbon into expensive diamonds
C）felt it more hopeful to succeed in making synthetic diamonds
D）found that carbon is very common in nature and so are diamonds
50. According to the passage, the real success probably came D .
A）in the 19th century B）around 1900
C）150 years ago D）around 1950s
51. If something is indispensable (paragraph 6), it is C .
A）enormously helpful B）relatively useless
C）absolutely necessary D）reasonably valuable
52. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?D
A）Since carbon is a plentiful substance we can easily make synthetic diamonds.
B）Something taking place in nature may also take place in the laboratory.
C）Since diamonds are a form of carbon , diamonds can be made only by nature.
D）Synthetic diamonds made in the laboratory are not like natural diamonds.
