III. Reading Comprehension
　　Section A
　　Directions: There are 5 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by4 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 your answer on the Answer Sheet.
　　Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:
　　The Antarctica treaty applies to all areas (the high seas excepted) below latitude 60 degrees south. This line, running around the globe some 2,000 miles from the South Pole itself, just misses the lower tip of South America, and is well below the Cape of Good Hope and New Zealand. There are a number of small islands between this line and the Antarctic continent, but the waters here are known to mariners as "the screaming Sixties" because there is so little obstruction to the world-circling winds.
　　In contrast, in the northern hemisphere, the lands lying above the sixtieth parallel of latitude include much of Scandinavia, Siberia and Alaska, all of Greenland and Iceland, with a total population of several million. Great mountains help subdue the winds; a spur of the Gulf Stream and part of the Japan Current temper the frigid airs of this polar region. This, and the presence of the Arctic Ocean in the center of the great land mass, give the area a markedly different conformation and climate from that around the opposite pole. Antarctica seems a vast basin of rock, filled and overflowing with a load of ice. In the heart of the continent it is almost as high as the summits of the Alps, yet soundings show that in some places the rock floor is below sea level. Actually, the ice accumulation is less than it was perhaps 1,000 years ago. Its seaward flow is not so voluminous as it once was, and as a result there are patches of bare rock here and there along the coast and inland. They were scoured clear of soil ages ago, but one may sometimes find moss or lichens growing, though virtually no flowering plants.
　　41. Unlike the North Pole, the South Pole is
　　A. not fixed in one position
　　B. the same as the South Magnetic Pole
　　C. on land covered with ice
　　D. on water
　　42. The large area in the southern hemisphere is taken up by
　　A. the major part of South America
　　B. oceans
　　C. Australia
　　D. Africa
　　43. The makers of the Antarctic Treaty clearly wanted to
　　A. prevent the Russians from settling in Antarctica
　　B. prevent possession or control by any nation
　　C. conserve its natural resources
　　D. insure the safety of the natives of Antarctica
　　44. Land animals on the Antarctic continent
　　A. are insects only
　　B. are relics of the prehistoric past
　　C. are fur-bearing animals and cold-blooded
　　D. exist only in the fossil state

Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:
　　Americans smoke six thousand million cigarettes every year (1970 figures). This is roughly the equivalent of 4,195 cigarettes a year for every person in the country of 18 years of age or more. It is estimated that 51% of American men smoke compared with 34% of American women. Since 1939, numerous scientific studies have been conducted to determine whether smoking is a health hazard. Research teams have conducted studies that show beyond all reasonable doubt that tobacco smoking, particularly cigarette smoking is associated with a shortened life expectancy. Cigarette smoking is believed by most research workers in this field to be an important factor in the development of cancer of the lungs and cancer of the throat. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than non-smoking males. (Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply.) The majority of doctors and researchers consider these relationships proved their point and say, "Give up smoking. If you don't smoke--don't start!" Some doctors and research workers--though their small number is decreased even further--are less sure of the effect of cigarette smoking on health. They consider the increase in respiratory diseases and various forms of cancer may possibly be explained by other factors in the human environment—atmospheric pollution, increased nervous stress, chemical substance in processed food, or chemical pesticides that are now being used by farmers in large quantities to destroy insects and small animals. Smokers who develop cancer or lung diseases, they say, may also, by coincidence, live in industrial areas or eat more canned food. Gradually, however, research is isolating all other possible factors and proving them to be statistically irrelevant. Apart from the scientific statistics, it might be helpful to look at what smoking tobacco actually does to the human body. Smoke is a mixture of gases, vaporized chemicals, small particles of ash, and other solids. There is also nicotine, which is a powerful poison, and black tar. As the smoke is breathed in, all these components form deposits on the membranes of the lungs. One point of concentration is where the air tube, or bronchus, divides. Most lung cancer begins at this point.
　　Smoking also affects the heart and blood vessels. It is known to be related to Beurger's disease, a narrowing of the small vessels in the hands and feet that can cause great pain and lead even to the amputation of limbs. While all tobacco smoking affects life and expectancy and health, cigarette smoking appears to have a much greater effect than cigar or pipe smoking. However, nicotine consumption is not decreased by the latter forms, and current research shows a causal relationship between all forms of smoking and cancer of the mouth and throat. Filters and low tar tobacco are claimed to make smoking to some extent safer, but they can only reduce, not eliminate the hazards.
　　45. What can we mainly get from the passage?
　　A. Smoking is harmful to health.
　　B. Women smokers are healthier than men smokers.
　　C. The increased diseases have something to do with pollution.
　　D. Smoking cigarettes is more harmful than smoking pipes.
　　46. Cigarette smoking is believed by doctors to __
　　A. reduce nervous stress
　　B. causes lung and throat cancer
　　C. make life shorter but exciting
　　D. broaden the blood vessels
　　47. Women smokers have a lower death rate than men smokers because __
　　A. women smoke light cigarettes
　　B. women smoke less cigarettes
　　C. women's bodies can prevent nicotine
　　D. women don't breathe in the smoke so deeply
　　48. What is Beurger's disease?
　　A. It is a kind of lung cancer.
　　B. It happens in the hands and feet.
　　C. It happens in the heart while smoking
　　D. It is a kind of throat disease.

　Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:
　　With the widespread and still growing use of personal computers, typing has become an indispensable part of our ordinary lives. As a result, many users now find they can't write even familiar words though they can type them quickly and correctly on a computer keyboard. To make matters worse, some people even forget how to write at all. Currently, 90 percent of students in America, a nation which has completely adapted to everyday use of computers and the Internet, are unable to write properly and clearly because they have been typing onto keyboards since early childhood. Many younger teachers also have trouble writing clearly on blackboard. A university student never imagined that he would lose the chance to get his first job because of his handwriting problem. Another student, for fear that she wouldn't be able to write well when doing the test papers for the university entrance examination, quit using a computer for two months before the exam. "It is not surprising," an expert of psychological medicine said. "The occurrence can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, it's the result of social developments and the work needs of constant computer use. Secondly, it relates to introverted (~ Ih] ~) personal character and lack of self-control abilities especially for those students who indulge in playing computer games." Experts also think that many activities on computers make people's thoughts simplified, which also affects their lives in other aspects, such as how they communicate with others and the way they think. Writing can strengthen human body's functions in psychology and physiology, which cannot be substituted by typing into a computer. Relevant research indicates that inscribing or drawing something on paper can leave a deep impression in the language processing areas of the central nervous system in the brain. This process does not occur when typing on a computer. Experts' tips are arranging work time well and paying particular attention to not working in front of the screen for long periods of time and trying to read books and writing down something, such as keeping a diary or making notes with a pen regularly--it's a good way to strengthen the formation of words in one's memory.
　　53. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage as a negative result of
　　a user's constant work at a computer?
　　A. Harm for his physical conditions.
　　B. Unsatisfactory personality.
　　C. Problems in his communication with others.
　　D. Deteriorated memory.
　　54. According to the experts, __
　　A. the user's problem in handwriting is helpless
　　B. writing with a pen is also necessary besides typing
　　C. computer users need more communication with others
　　D. there should be more healthful computer games available
　　55. The word "tips" in the last paragraph means __
　　A. warnings B. predictions C. suggestions D. analysis
　　56. The title of this passage might be ....
　　A. Harms of Typing at the Computer
　　B. Keep Away FromYour Computer
　　C. The Advantages of Handwriting
　　D. Pick Up Your Pencils and Write

Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage:
　　In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald started a driven-in restaurant in San Bemardino, California. They carefully chose a busy comer for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another driven-in, but in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this minimal selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips. Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks' sticking to that routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success until they met Ray Kroc. Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers' fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches. TodayMcDonald's is literally a household name. Its names for its sandwiches have come to mean hamburger in the decades since the day Ray Kroc watched people rush up to order fifteen-cent hamburgers. In 1976, McDonald's had over $1 billion in total sales. Its first twenty-two years is one of the most incredible success stories in modern American business history.

　　71.(第34 课：地震时刻)
　　Earthquakes are the most terrible of all natural disasters. Asia has a history of huge earthquakes within its borders.
　　What causes these earthquakes? To answer this question we must first understand some things about the earth itself. The earth's crust is composed of many different layers of rocks. These layers of rocks are not laid evenly, as a bricklayer would build a wall. On the contrary, areas of the earth's crust are irregular and weak.
　　As a result of the great stress that is put on these parts of the crust, the rock beds fold down towards the earth's core, which results in unstable spots along the earth's crust. This instability results in breaks along the crust. When a break occurs, or when two different sides of the crust rub against each other, the result is an earthquake.
　　Geologists would like to be able to predict earthquakes accurately by using laser beams, gravity-measuring devices and some other devices. Should predictions of a quake in the future be accurate, many people may be able to save both their lives and their property.答案：
