二、阅读理解单项选择题（本大题共40分，共 4 小题，每小题 10 分） 1.
Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street
corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(察觉)something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a
ticket (罚款单). Another may say that he sees a rushhour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow(拉着). For perception is the minds’s interpretation of what the senses – in this case our eyes – tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a
scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. (1).
Seeing and perceiving are ______.
A. the same action B. two separate actions C. two actions carried on entirely by the eyes D. several actions that take place at different times (2).
Perceiving is an action that takes place ___.
A. in our eyes B. only when we think very hard about something C. only under the direction of a psychologist D. in every person’s mind (3).
Perception involves what ____
A. our senses tell us B. our minds interpret C. we see with our eyes only D. both A and B (4).
People perceive different things about the same scene because ____.
A. they see different thing B. they cannot agree about things C. some have better eyesight D. none of these (5).
Psychologists study perception by _____.
A. setting up many experiments B. asking each other what they see C. looking out of windows D. studying people’s eyes 2.
Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) apparently prove the theory that searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form
of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus’ atmosphere from top to bottom, enabling NASA’s scientists to establish the
exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus’ surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin atmosphere like Earth’s but Venus’ atmosphere consists of more than ninety percent carbon
dioxide, compared to less than four percent in that of Earth. Because of its higher percentage of carbon dioxide, Venus’ atmosphere traps much more heat radiation than does Earth’s. Thus, the Venus studies are believed to be important to the understanding of possible adverse effects on Earth’s agriculture and sea levels that could result from the long-term use of fossil fuels, which add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. (1).
Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A. The Voyage of Pioneer Spacecraft B. Measuring Planetary Temperatures C. A New Theory D. The Greenhouse Effect on Venus (2).
According to the passage, what heats the atmosphere on Venus?
A. The green house effect B. The sunlight C. The radiation D. The carbon dioxide (3).
According to the passage, how does the atmosphere of Venus differ from that of Earth?
A. It contains much more carbon dioxide B. It is four percent thinner C. It holds significantly less moisture D. It traps less heat radiation (4).
It can be inferred from the passage that the burning of fossil fuels on Earth may cause _____.
A. more carbon dioxide to enter sea water B. more sunlight to reach the Earth’s surface C. the planet’s temperature to change D. the atmosphere to become thinner (5).
According to the passage, data from the Venus study can be used to ________.
A. predict changes in the planet’s orbit B. test a theory about more efficient greenhouse C. test the efficiency of a spacecraft D. predict future agricultural problems on Earth 3.
At dawn on January 17, 1995, the city of Kobe was rocked by
earthquake tremors. The worst tremors reach 7.2 on the Richter scale. Kobe is Japan's sixth largest city. It is also one of the world's largest ports. Within minutes, Kobe was a disaster area.
How bad was the damage? The earthquake was the worst to hit
Japan in 72 years. There were more than 6,000 people dead. More than 35,000 were injured, and nearly 310,000 were left homeless. Some 75,000 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Total damage was estimated at $90 billion.
Were the Japanese prepared for earthquakes? They thought they were. They were expecting a big earthquake to strike one of their major cities. But they did not know when, where, or how big the earthquake would be. Architects and engineers believed they had designed earthquake-proof buildings, transportation, and public
services. Kobe's few minutes of earth tremors shattered that belief. What did people learn from the Kobe earthquake? What happened in Kobe suggests that earthquake hazard was not taken seriously enough. Some people believe that more can be done to reduce damage. They propose the following. More work should be put into quake-proofing buildings. Walls should be built to protect towns on the coast from large waves. Providers of emergency services must be better trained and better prepared. Citizens must be better educated on what to do when an earthquake strikes.
The major barrier to doing more is cost. Japan finds itself trying balance the cost against the risk of a strong earthquake. (1).
Which sentence best tells what this passage says?
A. Cities can be made earthquake proof. B. More can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake C. Earthquakes always cause serious damage D. Nothing can be done to reduce the damage of earthquake (2).
How many people died in the Kobe earthquake?
A. More than 6,000 B. At least 100,000 C. Nearly 310000 D. 75,000 (3).
What is the major difficulty in doing more to reduce the earthquake damage?
A. People are not given enough training B. Engineers do not have the knowledge C. Protection is too costly D. No one takes earthquakes seriously (4).
The author's attitude in writing this passage is ________.(Only paragraph 1 is chronological!)
A. analytic B. blaming C. provocative D. indifferent (5).
\"Tremors\" probably means ________.
A. earthquake-proving buildings B. shaking movements C. heavy thunderstorms D. natural disasters 4.
City planners are the people who guide the development of cities and towns. They might advise local governments on ways to improve
communities, or they might design entirely new communities. In South Florida, for example, city planners are working to improve existing communities. The population of the area is expected to increase from 5.5 million to 7.5 million by 2020. The growth is headed to the west, where there is still open land. But western growth creates a costly need for new roads and is a threat to the ecological system of the Florida Everglades（沼泽地）. City planners are trying to lure people back into the older, developed eastern section of the region by concentrating growth in that direction and away from the western section.
City planners also plan and develop new communities. These
communities, called new cities or new towns, include both places to live and places to work. New cities, such as Brazil's capital
Brasilia, a community founded in 1900, can be constructed far from existing cities. Such cities are designed with enough facilities and job opportunities for all residents. Building completely new cities is very costly, however, Brasilia and Canberra, Australia, are two examples of the few new cities that have ever been completed
New towns are different from new cities in that they are built within commuting distance of large cities. They may also be planned communities within a city. New towns provide jobs for many of their residents, but they also rely on neighboring cities for jobs. Two of the first new towns built in the United States were Columbia, Maryland, and Reston, Virginia. At the end of the 20th century an estimated 100 new towns were planned or under construction in the United States. (1).
The passage is mainly about ________.
A. choosing a good city planner B. the planning of the Reston, Virginia C. the planning of Brasilia and Canberra D. the work of city planners (2).
Brasilia, Brazil, is an example of _______.
A. an improved old city B. a planned new city C. a planned new town D. a suburban development (3).
You would most likely hire a city planner if you needed someone to ________.
A. help grow best trees and flowers in a city B. reduce the air
pollution in a city C. design new office buildings in a city D. guide the development of a new community in a city (4).
The number 2 million indicates the predicted ________.
A. decrease in South Florida's population B. increase in South
Florida's population C. number of city planners to be needed in the year 2020 D. number of towns to be planned by 205 population in a newly-designed city (5).
In this passage lure means______.
A) B) force C) attract D) chase A. cheat B. force C. attract D. chase
