Part II.Reading Comprehension (20 point) Directions:In this section,there are two passages followed by a total of ten multiple choice questions each with four suggested answers marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the one that you think is the correct answer.Mark your answers on your answer sheet. Passage 1 Some people would say that the Englishman's home has become his workshop.This is partly because the ordinary Englishman is deeply interested in working with his hands and partly because he feels that he must do for himself many household jobs for which some years ago he would have asked for workers'help.The main reason for this is a financial one: the high cost of labour has meant that builders'and decorators'costs have reached a level which is too high for ordinary people.So,if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart,they have to do some of the repairing and decorating themselves.As a result, there has grown up the "Do-It-Yourself Movement"after World War II. The "Do-It-Yourself Movement"began with home decorating but has since spread into a much wider field.Nowadays there seem to be very few things that cannot be made by the "do-it-yourself"method.A number of magazines and handbooks exist to show just how easy it is to build anything from a coffee table to a fifteen-foot sailing boat.You follow the simple directions step by step and,before you know where you are the finished article stands before you complete in every detail. Unfortunately,it is not always quite as simple as it sounds!Many people have found that one cannot learn a skilled worker's job overnight.How quickly one realizes,when doing it oneself,that a job which takes the skilled man an hour or so to complete takes him five or six at least.And there is the question of tools which cost money.It is not surprising then that many people have come to realize that the money of paying the workers to do the job is,in fact,less than "do it oneself". 11.An Englishman's home has become a workshop because he A.tries to work with his own hands to save some money B.wants to have some physical training at home C.wants to earn some money in his spare time by working at home D.has some people work for him at home at the weekend 12.The word "financial"(Para.1)has something to do with A.social position B.house repair C.decorating skills D.money 1187

Reading Comprehension (20 point) Directions: In this section , there are two followed by a total of ten multiρle choice questions each with four suggested answers marked A , B , C, and D. .,..Choose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet. Passage 1 Some people would say that the Englishman's home has become his workshop. This is partly because the ordinary Englishman is deeply interested in working with his hands and partly because he feels that he must do for himself many household jobs for which some years ago he would have asked for workers' help. The main reason for this is a financial one: the high cost of labour has meant that builders' and decorators' costs have reached a level which is too high for ordinary people. So , if they wish to keep their houses looking bright and smart , they have to do some of the repairing and decorating themselves. As a result , there has grown up the "Do-It-Yourself Movement" after World War II. The "Do-It-Yourself Movement" began with home decorating but has since spread into a much wider field. Nowadays there seem to be very few things that cannot be made by the "do-it-yourself" method. A number of magazines and handbooks exist to show just how easy it is to build anything from a coffee table to a fifteen-foot sailing boat. You follow the simple directions step by step and , before you know where you are the finished article stands before you complete in every detail. Unfortunately , it is not always quite as simple as it sounds! Many people have found that one cannot learn a skilled worker' s job overnight. How quickly one realizes, when doing it oneself, that a job which takes the skilled man an hour or so to complete takes him five or six at least. And there is the question of tools which cost money. It is not surprising then that many people have come to realize that the money of paying the workers to do the job is, in fact , less than"do it oneself". 11. An Englishman's home has become a workshop because he A. tries to work with his own hands to save some money B. wants to have some physical training at home C. wants to earn some money in his spare time by working at home D. has some people work for him at home at the weekend 12. The word "financial" (Para. 1) has something to do with A. social position B. house repair C. decorating skills D. money 1187
13.The "Do-It-Yourself Movement"(Para.2)is A.an organization which helps women look for good jobs B.a group of people who help each other C.an activity many people now take part in D.the name of a very popular magazine in Britain 14.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true? A.Before starting a repairing job,one must first study the methods for some time. B.Some books tell people that it is not too difficult to build a small boat. C.It needs both skills and tools to do a good job. D.It is not as easy as some people think to make a coffee table. 15.From the passage,we can see that the writer A.likes to have the jobs done by skilled workers B.thinks it sometimes less costly to pay for others to do the job than do it ourselves C.realizes that some people can learn a skilled worker's job easily D.is strongly against the "Do-It-Yourself Movement" Passage 2 The camel is a slow-moving creature.But what it lacks in speed it gains in endurance. This veritable beast of burden can walk 30 miles a day carrying a load that weighs half a ton. The kangaroo,with its long,muscular hind legs,is a marvel of fitness.Weighing about 200 pounds,it can thrust its heavy body into the air and clear a fence nine feet high.While airborne,this leaping athlete uses its thick tail as both a counterbalance and a steering wheel. Never underestimate the strength of an insect.The tiny ant can move a burden 50 times its weight.And the brawny bee,when tied to a small load on wheels,is able to haul up to 300 times its own weight. The elephant is a monument to muscles.Its trunk alone,which can do everything from pulling out a tree to delicately picking up a pin,contains about 70 times the number of muscles in your body. One of the world's longest leapers is the flea:it can jump 13 inches-about 350 times its own length.For a person six feet tall,this would be like jumping approximately 2,000 feet,or seven football fields.No one yet has leaped even as much as 30 feet. 1188

A seemingly inexhaustible jumper is the Oriental rat flea:it can jump 600 times an hour for three whole days without stopping. The fastest muscle movement ever recorded belongs to the mighty midge.This tiny, agile insect can beat its wings 133,000 times a minute,about 100 times faster than a human car biink an eye-which 'akes ail of one twenty fifth of a second.
