IV Reading Comprehension: Directions: there are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked a, b, c, and d. you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the center.
(1) In one way of thinking , failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success.
The “spite story”is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots (苏格兰人)in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English .He watched a spider(蜘蛛) spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span the gap. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English….. Edison,the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?
Second , is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about want your real goals may be. Think about this question. “if I do succeed in this , where will it get me ?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.
The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life .Learn to “live with yourself”even though you may have failed .Remember , “You can’twin them all.”
1. This passage deals with two sides of failure. In paragraph I the author talks mainly about ______.
A. the value of failure B. how people would fail
C. famous failure D. how not to fail
2. Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that______.
A. failure must come before success
B. failure isn’t all bad
C. nature will help us it we let it
D. people who fail have plenty of company
3. The lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce seems______.
A. productive B. straight forward
C. sorrowful D. profound
4. One thing the writer does not tell you how to cope with failure is ______.
A. to check out your goals to see if they are right
B. to think about failure as part of life
C. to think about a failure to find out what went wrong
D. to avoid what are beyond you
5. which of the following is NOT true?
A. Bruce and Edison were successful examples.
B. Failure may be regarded as a way toward success.
C. Edison profited a lot from the spider story
D One may often raise a question whether his goal are worth attempting.
(2)As a medium of exchange, money permits the separation of exchange into the two distinct acts of buying and selling. Without requiring the seller to purchase goods from the person who buys his products, or vice versa. Hence producers who know they will be paid in money, can concentrate on finding the most suitable outlet for their goods, while buyers who will pay in money, can concentrate on finding cheapest market for the things they wish to purchase. Specialization, which is vital to an advanced economy, is encouraged, because people whose output is not a complete product but only a part of one in which many others are involved can be paid an amount equivalent to their share of the product.
Another advantage of money is that it is a measure of value--- that is, it serves as a unit in terms of which the relative values of different products can be expressed. In a barter economy it would be necessary to determine how many plates were worth one hundred weight of cotton, or how many pens should be exchanged for a ton of coal. Which would be a difficult and time-consuming task. The process of establishing relative values would have to be undertaken for every act of exchange, according to products were being offered against one another, and according to the two parties’ desires and preferences. If I am trying to barter fish for bananas, for example, a lot would depend on whether the person is willing to exchange bananas or is not keen on fish.
Thirdly, money acts as a store of wealth. It is difficult to imagine saving under a barter system. No one engaged on only one stage in the manufacture of a product could save part of his output, since he would be producing nothing complete. Even when a person actually produced a complete product the difficulties would be overwhelming. Most products deteriorate fairly rapidly, either physically or in value, a result of long storage; even if storage were possible, the practice of storing products for years on would involve obvious disadvantage--- imagine a coal-miner attempting to save enough coal, which of course is his product, to keep him for life. If wealth could not be saved, or only with great difficulty, future needs could not be provided for, or capital accumulated to raise productivity.
6 Using money as a medium of exchange means that______.
A you have to sell something in order to buy something
B you have to buy something in order to sell something
C you don’t have to buy something in order to sell something
D the seller and the purchaser are the same person
7 Specialization is encouraged because______.
A people can use their money to buy whatever they want
B people do not need to make a complete product for exchange
C people make a great contribution to manufacture of a product
D people cannot use their money to buy whatever they want
8 A barter economy is one in which ______.
A value is decided by weight
B value is decided by number
C money is used and foods are not exchanged
D goods are exchanged and money is not used
9 If one had to save products instead of money, ______.
A this would need years of practice
B coal, for example, would lose its value
C they could not be stored for years on end
D many products would lose their value
10 how many advantages of money are mentioned in this passages?
A Two B Three C Four D Five
(3)There is,perhaps, no other sport in the world quite so exciting as skiing. For viewers, it is a spectacle of unsurpassed beauty. For skiers, it is a vivid personal experience, a thrilling testof mind,muscle, and nerves. And more and more, Americans are discovering this thrill for themselves. Not too long ago, skiing had virtually no part in the American sports scene. If it were thought of at all, it was purely as a European sport.Then came the 1932 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid, New York.Americans got their first good look at skiing and made for the hills.Today ski trains make regular runs form our cities to the great, white outdoors. Small wooden houses dot the mountain sides offering skiers the warmth of their firesides.
In addition to joy and exhilaration(兴奋,高兴), skiing offers other attractions .It is a comparatively inexpensive sport, and,for the young, the art of skiing is often mastered in a very short time.
The special thrill of skiing is well described by buddy Werner. “It’s all up to you,”he says .”No teammates can help. You’re alone.It’s you against the snow, the mountains, the terrain (地形)yourself. You are a warrior.”
11To the spectator, skiing is ______.

(4) As the pace of life continues to increase , we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation(动力)and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or flight”and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response, It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress.Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find sways to deal with it.
16.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.
A. they do not know how to enjoy themselves
B. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

B. Stress is always harmful to people

A “making a choice between ‘flight or fight’”
B “reaction to stress both chemically and physically”
C “responding to crises quickly”
D “losing heart at the sighs of difficulties”
20. In the last sentence of the passage, “do so”refers to ______.
A“expose ourselves to stress ”
B “find ways to deal with stress”
C. “remove stress from our lives”
D “establish links between diseases and stress”
(5) Every human being, no matter what he is doing , gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem-how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. the system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’six buildings comfortable. Some parts of most modern buildings-theaters and offices as well as classrooms -are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air -conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery.”A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings and re-use it in others.
Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. the harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male Students emit more hear than female students, and the larger an student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, overweight male genius.
21. Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstown campus?
A. The heat is supplied by human bodies only.
B. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and other heart emitting objects.
C. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuel.
D. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and
conventional fuel .
22. Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it______.
A. was difficult to collect
B. came in a variety of forms
C. was difficult to get rid of
D tended to be absorbed by physical objects
23. The phrase “even in winter”most nearly means______.
A. if the winter is especially warm
B. during all of the year except the winter
C. in the winter was well as in other seasons
D. during the evenings in the winter
44. “Heat recovery”refers to a ______.
A. method of concealing the source of heat
B. special form of air conditioning
C. supplementary hot water system
D. way of reclaiming and re-using heat.
25. According to passage, which of the following would produce the LEAST amountof heat?
A A gat female who studies hard
B. A thin female who does not study.
C. A fat male who does not study.
D. A thin male who studies hard.
