Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension

With more than 20 million records sold, and several Grammy awards to show for it, Natalie Cole, the daughter of famous singer Nat King Cole, has made a name for herself in music.

Along with her great success, however, Natalie Cole has lived in a world of drugs, crime, and failed marriages.

"I have been to hell and back," she says.

In the book Angel on My Shoulder, Cole gives us an honest look of the difficult path she has taken, sharing, as well, her successful recovery.

"Where I'm at now helps me to look back on my life and realize that I've really had quite a colorful and rich life," she says. "I really could have turned out to be a different person."

As the second daughter of Maria and Nat King Cole, Natalie had as normal a childhood as was possible for a little girl whose father spent much of his time away from home. With hopes of one day becoming a doctor, she left her family in Los Angeles to attend a boarding school on the east coast. But when she was 14, she received some terrible news: her father was dying of lung cancer. Less than two months later, in 1965, Nat King Cole died at the age of 47.

During her college years at Amherst, Cole began to experiment with drugs, though they didn't stop her from joining a music group. She played in small clubs on the east coast, using drugs more and more frequently.

Without enough money to pay the bills and to support her drug habit, Cole turned to stealing and got into trouble with the law. Eventually, she became so badly affected by the drugs that she decided to quit on the spot.

She says it was a miracle—the work of an angel on her shoulder. Her drug habit kicked, Natalie's career really began to take off. Only two years after being arrested and almost dying because of drugs, Cole's first record won two Grammies.

In 1976, she married Marvin Yancy, her songwriter and producer. They soon had a son, Robbie, and Cole's life really seemed to be coming together.

"Marriage to Marvin, and Robbie, was like a breath of pure, fresh air," she says. "I was with a man whom I loved and who loved me...we were just so close."

Sadly, the marriage wouldn't last. After four years of being drug-free, Cole was once again using.

In 1983, Cole checked herself into a recovery program, and was finally able to mend the wounds from her difficult past.

After narrowly escaping death once again, Cole decided to record her father's greatest, including the phenomenal success Unforgettable: With Love.

Cole, who has fought and won many battles to find personal happiness, says, "I'm so grateful for the way my life has turned out."

D．She had a normal childhood, though her father spent much of his time away from home.

33、 "During her college years at Amherst, Cole began to experiment with drugs, though they didn't stop her from joining a music group." Here, "they" refers to ______.

A．drugs                               B．her college friends

C．I'm sorry for all that I have experienced

Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity (身份). Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.

I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help much in getting a good job. My aunt taught Korean to her children not to help him succeed in the U.S.. She did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation was born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents' country, they will prob- ably feel different from other people there too. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.

We must realize that the language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children, but let them understand their background by teaching them the parents' language. This is very important, not only for the harmony of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.

36、 Which people are having trouble with language?______

A．Natives.

B．Only people of the second generation.

C．Only people of the first generation.

D．Immigrants between the first generation and the second generation.

37、 Why are children ignoring their parents?______

A．Children have lost their identity.

B．Parents cause children to suffer in lots of areas.

C．They speak different languages.

D．They have different job levels.

38、 The author's aunt taught Korean ______.

A．so she could preserve her language

B．so she would have a job in America

C．to help children succeed in their new country

D．to help children keep their Korean identity

39、 The writer's cousins felt ______.

A．they were not similar to people in Korea

B．they could not get a job in America

C．it was all right to look and feel different

D．it was important to keep their identity

40、 A proper title for this passage is ______.

A．The Identity of the Second Generation in the U.S.

B．Korean Problems in America

C．Learning a New Language in the U.S.

D．Keeping Your Identity in a New Land

Long ago men learned the world is built with mathematical exactness according to refined and powerful laws: every bee strokes its wings exactly 440 times a second to propel itself forty miles an hour; the eye of every fly has exactly 7,000 lenses; every spider's thread is composed of 300 single threads.

The progress of civilization itself can be measured by its range of mathematics. The early Egyptians knew enough of geometry to build the pyramids and the Greeks used trigonometry to measure the circumference of the earth two thousand years before Columbus sailed. European civilization combined geometry and trigonometry with the decimal system of the Arabs to produce the maps with which they explored the unknown world. In a later century, mathematicians studied the pendulum (钟摆) of the newly invented clock and created the language of calculus to measure motion.

The yardstick of measurement today must cover everything from units tinier than atoms to distances of millions of light years. Speed and accuracy are vital. Man can never send a rocket to Mars unless he knows the exact distance to the planet, since the slightest error could mean missing it by 30,000 miles. In navigating amid the planets and stars, man must have the help of some kind of machine calculators for fast and absolutely accurate information.

41、 The author shows how the exactness of nature's laws is reflected in ______.

A．the language of calculus                 B．the measurement of motion

C．the creatures of nature                   D．the progress of civilization

42、 How is the second paragraph developed?______

A．By contrast.                           B．By classification.

C．By making assumptions.                D．By giving examples.

43、 What does the underlined word "yardstick" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?______

A．Standard.         B．Accuracy.         C．Method.          D．Process.

44、 What can be inferred from the text?______

A．In ancient times people knew nothing about mathematics.

B．The power of nature used to have a great influence on man.

C．Progress in civilization demands ever better mathematical tools.

D．Technology plays an important role in information collection.

45、 Where does the passage most probably come from?______

A．A news report.                         B．A book review.

C．A science magazine.                     D．A math textbook.
