四、Reading Comprehension(共 4 道试题,共 40 分。)
1. John Preston lives in a flat in north London. He moved there after his wife died four years ago to be
closer to his daughter's family, and because his big detached house and garden were too much work
for him as he got older. It's easier in the flat because the letting agent does everything that needs doing.
The agent has had the roof repaired and got the gutter replaced, but at the moment John is not satisfied
because the window frames need painting and the garden looks neglected. The agent had the windows
painted two years ago, but the painters didn't do it very well, so they need doing again. John pays over
£1,500 a year for service and maintenance, and he thinks that it's not good enough because the flats
look shabby and a lot of things need repairing.
His daughter, June, and her husband, Pete, on the other hand, have to do everything themselves or find
builders to do it. They live in a large semi-detached house further out from the centre of London than
John, but they are still near enough to see him often. They live in the suburbs with a nice garden where
their children play. They moved there four years ago to have more space. The only drawback is that
June's husband has to commute into the centre of London every day, but, overall, they are happy with
their decision. When they bought the house, a lot needed doing to it and it still does. June says, "We
have a list of things to do as long as your arm — the roof needs repairing and the chimney needs
mending. The bedrooms need decorating and we haven't had the broken windowpanes replaced yet in
the conservatory. We need to fix the gate and repair the path — it looks dreadful when you arrive."

2. Hello, new students!
This is a message from the Students Union Committee.
We've been at the university for at least a year now, so we can give you some good tips. Don't worry –
we remember being new and making a lot of mistakes! And we haven't forgotten feeling a little bit
scared.
First, as you know, there are no longer any grants. If you borrow money from the government, remember
that like all loans, you have to pay it back. Spending all your money in the first week is not a
sensible strategy. Try to make a budget for each term and stick to it. But if you are struggling to make
ends meet, you can get a part-time job–restaurants and bars in the town take lots of students on in the
evenings and at weekends. Come and see us for advice.
Stop worrying about making new friends. Start to join the sports and hobbies societies – they're cheap
and you can begin meeting a lot of people that way. It's a great chance to take up a completely new
hobby.
Living in a new city a long way from home can be very stressful. One tip, don't forget your parents. After
all, they are paying your tuition fees here. You will be very busy working and enjoying yourself, but
stop to phone your parents sometimes and don't forget to go home for the weekend from time to time.
And remember to take your dirty washing!
Finally, remember to work hard and play hard. Go on working steadily towards your first degree (BA or
BSc) throughout your three years here – try to keep things in perspective. You'll always find someone
in the Student Union office if you need to talk.
1). What does the word "scared" mean in the second paragraph?
A. excited
B. frightened
C. worried
D. new
正确答案:C 满分:2 得分:2
2). What does the word "grants" mean in the third paragraph?
A. money given by the government to support the students' study, which they needn't pay back
B. money from the government which the students need to pay back
C. money from the school which is similar to scholarship
D. a kind of loan from the government with low interests
正确答案:B 满分:2 得分:0
3). The sentence "But if you are struggling to make ends meet, …at weekends" in the third
paragraph implies_________.
A. if you are short of money, you can find a part-time job in the restaurants and bars in your
spare time
B. if you want to have a better life than others, you can find a part-time job in your spare time
C. restaurants and bars need more hands in the evenings and at weekends
D. restaurants and bars don't need more hands in the evenings and at weekends
正确答案:B 满分:2 得分:2
4). From the fifth paragraph, we can infer that in order to overcome the stress of living faraway from
home, _________.
A. it's better for new students to talk to their parents over the phone from time to time
B. new students need to do their washing themselves
C. new students should keep themselves as busy as possible so that they will not miss home
D. new students should stop phoning their parents
正确答案:B 满分:2 得分:2
5). This passage is written for the purpose of _________.
A. telling new students the problems facing them in the university
B. telling new students how to budget their money
C. offering new students some advice about their university life
D. talking new students into joining them
正确答案:D 满分:2 得分:0
3. PALO ALTO, California – “Switching off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter
– even if they do not change their diet or increase the amount they exercise,” US researchers said
last week.
A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine, found that children who cut
the number of hours spent watching television gained nearly two pounds (0.9kg) less over a one-year
period than those who did not change their television diet.
“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction
in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician(儿科专家) at
Stanford University.
“American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos
or playing video games, and rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,”
Robinson said.
In the study, presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies' annual meeting in San Francisco,
the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter
to one-third.
Children watching fewer hours of television showed a significantly smaller increase in waist size and
had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither
group ate a special diet or took part in any extra exercise.
“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have
been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might be due
to eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of
the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.
1). The author tries to tell us in the first two paragraphs that ____________.
A. children will get fatter if they eat too much
B. children will get thinner if they eat less
C. children will get fatter if they spend less time watching TV
D. children will get fatter if they spend more time watching TV
正确答案:E 满分:2 得分:2
2). According to the passage, the time American children usually spend on watching
TV ____________.
A. is more than four hours a day
B. is less than four hours a day
C. doubled in the last twenty years
D. is more than on any other activities
正确答案:B 满分:2 得分:2
3). The time the group of children in the study spend on TV viewing every day is suggested to be
about ____________.
A. six hours
B. eight hours
C. three hours
D. one hour
正确答案:D 满分:2 得分:0
4). Which one of the following is right?
A. Children usually eat less while watching TV.
B. Children usually eat more while watching TV.
C. Children eat the same amount of meals while watching TV.
D. Children usually eat nothing while watching TV.
正确答案:C 满分:2 得分:2
5). Why can watching TV increase kids' weight according to the passage?

4. As far back as 700 BC, man has talked about children being cared for by wolves. Romulus and
Remns, founders of ancient Rome, were said to have been brought up by wolves. It is believed
that when a she-wolf loses her litter, she tries to find a human baby to take its place.
This seemingly unreasonable idea did not become believable until the nineteenth century when
a French doctor actually found a boy wandering in a forest. The boy had no clothes on and was
judged to be ten years old by some experts. He did not walk straight up like a human being, but
with both his hands and feet touching the ground. The boy could not speak but howled like a wolf.
He did not eat any cooked food but raw meat such as hare, deer, or goat meat. He knew nothing
about the relationships among human families. Finally the doctor won the boy's trust, and the boy
started to obey him. After many long years of devoted and patient instruction, the doctor managed
to get the boy to dress himself in clothes and feed himself as a human being does. With great
difficulty, the doctor was able to make the wolf-boy recognize and speak quite a few words.
1). According to the passage, it is believed that ____________.
A. wolf-children is a common occurrence existing in every country every century
B. the unusual occurrence of wolf-children has existed for over twenty centuries
C. she-wolves enjoy looking after a human baby instead of her own child
