IV. Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Australia is nearly as large as the United States, but most of it is too dry for people to live in. Around this dry part are large sheep and cow farms. A few of them are as large as the smallest states in America. Often the nearest neighbors are several hundred kilometers away.
The two-way radio(双向收音机)) is very important to people who live on these great Australian farms. It works much like a telephone. A person can listen to someone else talk and then give an answer. For example, people on the large farms could talk to a doctor far away. They could tell the doctor about someone who was ill, and the doctor could let them know how to look after the sick person.
As the large farms were so far away from towns, the children could not go to school. Radio schools were started for them in some places. At a certain time each day, boys and girls turn on their radios and listen to teachers in cities far away.
Families on the large farms wanted to give news to their neighbors. The programmed “Round Robin” talks(预设好的依次传递的谈话资料)by radio was started to keep families in touch with each other. They could talk about who was going away and who was ill. The men could talk about their sheep and cows and how much money the markets would pay for them. In many places the radio became a newspaper for the farm people of Australia.
41. From the first paragraph, we know there are some _______ farms in Australia.

D. All the Australians live on dry places, and they use radios in many ways.
Passage Two
In the 1900’s, American townspeople usually washed and brushed their teeth and combed their hair in the kitchen. Or they kept a water pitcher(罐)and a wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.
The bathtub was a wash tub filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathed together. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was a matter for Saturday night because on Sundays they went to church.
A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing(自来水设施). Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.
46. In the first paragraph,“took care of “means ________.
A. kept B. looked after C. used D. did

49. _______ Americans owned a bathtub as early as 1895.

50. We can infer that the plumbing _______at that time.
A. cost so little that majority people could afford
B. was more expensive than a water system
C. was too expensive for every family to afford
D. was not necessary
Passage Three
In Japan’s capital city of Tokyo, earthquake danger limits the height of buildings. The city has spread out so far and the traffic has become so heavy that it is very difficult to get from one place to another. The price of land, too, has become very high. All this explains why a group of Japanese land developers came to the conclusion that there was nowhere to go but down. So far they have dug out space underground for fifteen major shopping centers, and the underground construction(建筑)has only begun.
What are some of the advantages of shopping and eating underground? Clean, filtered(过滤的)air is one of them. The city of Tokyo has one of the most serious smog(烟雾)problems in the world. Another advantage is that there won’t be traffic accidents as that on the city’s busy streets. Still another is the convenience(方便)of moving from place to place. You’re usually right next to, or even in, a subway station. And you can even spend the night underground if you like. The Kyobashi Station, for example, in downtown Tokyo, has a hotel with a bar, restaurant and barbershop.206
51. It is very difficult to get from one place to another in Tokyo because ________.
A. the city is so large and so high
B. there is no traffic
C. we don’t know the road
D. the city is so large and the traffic is so heavy
52. All are the reasons for Tokyo to develop underground except_______.
A. the high buildings B. the high price of land
C. the far spreading of the city D. the heavy traffic
53. Shopping underground is clean _______.
A. without air pollution B. of water C. and tidy D. and beautiful
54. The first paragraph tells us _______.
A. earthquake is dangerous in Japan
B. why Tokyo goes to underground
C. underground shopping centers in Tokyo
D. Tokyo is so large
55. The second paragraph tells us ________.
A. underground is convenient
B. the advantages of underground

Passage Four
Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd pubic places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed(恼怒)and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being(health and happiness)of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourist industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities(设施)needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourist hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.271
56. Which of the following topics has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before

A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.
B. Building roads and hotels is essential.

58. Not enough tourism can lead to .
A. an increase of unemployment B. a decrease in tourist attractions
C. the higher cost of support facilities D. a rise in prices and a fall in pay
59. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will .
A. use up a large amount of water B. weaken their economy
C. help establish their traditions D. help improve their life
60. The word “handle” in the last paragraph most probably means .
A. carry away B. pick up C. get in D. take down
