Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 4 tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1
Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Many people know that rubbish is a big problem on the planet Earth. What many people don't know is that junk has become a problem in outer space too.
According to BBC News, there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.
Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speed, so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. Even if the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.
To make things worse, when two objects in space collide, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.
To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.
Many scientists are also proposing different ways to clean up space junk. In England, scientists are testing a metal harpoon that can be fired into space junk. The harpoon catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.
"The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers," says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space researcher.
"The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become," he says.
36、What does the underlined word "these" in Paragraph 2 refer to? ______
A．Telescopes. B．Satellites.
C．Pieces of space junk. D．BBC news reports.
37、Why is space junk considered a problem? ______
A．It bums up after it re-enters the atmosphere.
B．It often stops the view of telescopes on Earth.
C．It could force new space tools to travel at slower speed.
D．It may crash into other space tools, causing damage or death.
38、Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth's atmosphere so that ______.
A．the tools can be reused later
B．the tools don't become space junk
C．the earth's atmospheres can stay clean
D．the effects of space flight can be studied
39、How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk? ______
A．Catch it with harpoons.
B．Use robots to collect it.
C．Bum it in the earth's atmosphere.
D．Send it further away from the earth.
40、In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article? ______
A．Environment. B．Local News.
C．Education. D．Fashion.
Task 2
Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.
People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June.
Mother's Day was proclaimed a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. Anna Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father's Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to establish Father's Day as a national commemorative day, in 1972.
These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.
These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day, people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days, families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
41、According to the passage, which of the following about the second Sunday in May is NOT true? ______
A．It is a day to show love to mothers.
B．It is a day to wear carnations.
C．It is a day for people to visit the cemetery.
D．It is a day for many people to attend religious services.
42、From the passage, we know in the U.S. ______.
A．one should wear a red carnation if one's mother passed away
B．on Mother's Day, families often go out to have barbecues
C．on Father's Day, people often stay at home to celebrate the special day
D．the purpose to have these two special days is to show love to parents
43、Choose the right time order of the following events. ______

Task 4
Directions: In this part, you are going to read a passage with 5 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the one from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph no more than once. The 5 statements are numbered 51 to 55. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. You should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
A. Economic crisis touches our lives on a daily basis. "Yes, it is bad. I get the picture." Most of us want to avoid the reality, but it's what we're dealing with. We have to live through economic crisis. No one is going to pull a sleeping beauty trick and wake up in 10 years when it's all better. For better or worse this economy is what we have to deal with. We have to accept that and learn to live through it.
B. Our first reaction in difficult times is to protect ourselves, and contract ourselves. We may be inclined to contract, not just our spending, but hearts. After all, the lesson that we have just learned on a national level is that taking risks will burn you. So we cut back on our financing, and we cut back on emotional investments. Who wants to get hurt? Let's just keep it all to ourselves, where we are safe and secure.
C. However, in order to reap a reward, we have to risk something. We have to offer a bit of ourselves. To laugh is to risk appearing foolish. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk exposing our true self. To love is to risk not being loved in return. These are all very risky suggestions, but imagine the cost of not taking the risk. Not offering love, not offering laughter or not reaching out simply isn't an acceptable response to an economic crisis.
D. Contracting ourselves will not do, either. We must continue to risk if we hope to truly live through this economic crisis. Living through the crisis is going to look a little different for each of us. We have been affected in different ways and much of that difference depends on age. Our biggest concern is the job market. Those who have jobs are holding on to them for dear life. We know that finding a job in this market, no matter how qualified we are, is like finding a needle in a haystack.
E. These are all challenging situations. But for some people the picture is still more dreadful. For some people this economic crisis will mean going without basic needs. Some people, especially those who were just making ends meet before, find themselves without adequate food, or without the ability to pay rent. This is a real problem, a real shortage that affects people's real lives.
F. Some people jump to the message that money doesn't matter. What really matters are love, and faith, and doing good for others. But the truth is, money matters, too. It matters a lot. This is not greedy to say. Money is what we use to meet our basic needs in life. When it is taken away in a seemingly unfair way, we feel helpless and cheated. When providing adequate housing and food for our loved ones is challenged, most other things fall by the wayside. Money matters, and it has slipped through our fingertips; it has been taken away.
G. This crisis is about more than money. For many of us, our jobs are more than a source of income. They are a defining part of who we are. It's not because our jobs make money that proves us to be successful, but because our jobs are our role in the world. The same thing is true for countless other people who find meaning in their careers. Our work is integral to our identity. So much of identity is what we do in this world. This is just one more way that the economic crisis is striking not just our bank accounts, but our hearts and souls. Losing a job that gives meaning to our lives can be damaging. This crisis challenges the very sense of self for some people.
[H] However, opportunities may come from hardship. With less disposable income for entertainment and individual activities, families and friends will be drawn to spend more time together in the community, telling jokes and stories. Maybe in our changed economy there will be more being together, and less buying together.
51、Just like love, faith and doing good for others, money is also important to our life.
52、In response to an economic crisis, it is advisable to take risks.
53、In addition to being a source of income, our jobs define who we are in the world.
54、It's impossible for us to avoid the economic crisis, so we have to learn to live through it.
55、Those who were just making ends meet before find themselves without the ability to pay for their necessities in the economic crisis.
