第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
The failed Skylab will come screaming home to the earth in disappointment sometime next month, but we don’t know where it will fall. That precise(准确的)information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers.
The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12-storey building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered(撒落)across a track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long.
We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man’s future.
What worries Richard Smith, the Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere. Two lumps, weighing 2 tons each, and ten, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at a speed of hundreds of miles an hour, and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep.
What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and our quick imagination, is both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by them.
That’s good to know, but it doesn’t remove the doubts of the millions who still remember the nuclear accident at Three Mile Island. That accident took place in 1979 in spite of what scientists had assured(向…保证)us as to the safety of the nuclear reactor(反应堆).
56. Where the Skylab will fall _____.
A. is kept secret
B. will be announced soon
C. is foretold by scientist
D. can’t be foretold
57. The broken Skylab will come into view _______.
A.in two lumps---one weighing 2 tons and the other weighing 10 tons
B.falling with the force of a 12-storey building
C.as 12 bigger pieces and hundreds of smaller pieces
D.as an attractive scene to millions of people
58. The writer mentions Three Mile Island _____.
A. because the fears that a piece of the Skylab may strike a nuclear power plant
B. to express his doubt about the officials’ words
C. because he is afraid of nuclear power
D. because the nuclear reactor there and the Skylab were built by the same company
59. The writer expresses his _______.
A. interest in the failure of the Skylab
B. willingness to give his advice
C. worry about the misadventure of science
D. eagerness to see more new scientific discoveries
B

Scientists can determine someone’s favorite food from their body shape. They have discovered that the arrangement(排列) of taste buds(味蕾)on the tongue varies for different body types. The scientist team examined 1,000 British adults and divided them into three physiologically(生理学上) recognized body types---ectomorphs, endomorphs and mesomorphs. They determined that a person’s body type indicated where they were likely to have the most taste buds---on the sweet, bitter or salty are as of their tongues.
The study showed that ectomorphs, who make up one in three of the population, usually have a small delicate shape, have a sweet tooth but hate bitter foods. Mesomorphs, who make up 20 percent of the population, usually have a muscular(肌肉发达的) shape and prefer salty or bitter foods but dislike sweet foods. Half the British population are endomorphs with soft, rounded bodies, and they like most foods. The findings showed that for two in three people food preference was a physiological rather than a psychological choice.
Body shape expert Simon Bradshaw, who takes charge of this team, said, “It appears that simply by looking at a person’s body shape we can make sure about their taste preferences.” But Catherine Collins, of the British Dietetic Association said, “It is difficult to tell whether our body shape dictates the food we like, or the food we like dictates body shape. It stands to reason people who prefer most types of foods will be fatter and people who are the endomorph shape tend to find in more difficult to lose weight.”
63. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Ectomorphs refer to the people who are fat.
B. Ectomorphs don’t like bitter foods.
C. Endomorphs are usually not fat.
D. Mesomorphs usually like salty or sweet foods.

D. Nobody believes it
65. It is implied that ______.
A. there are only three shapes
B. ectomorphs enjoy most foods
C. Catherine Collins is an expert in body shape
D. people who enjoy most foods have trouble in losing weight
66. According to Catherine, it is uncertain ______.
A. how many body shapes
B. that food preference is a physiological choice
C. whether our body shape is decided by the food we enjoy most
D. how taste buds arrange on the tongue
67. This passage is mainly about ______.
A. a study that body shape had something to do with taste buds
B. how to lose weight
C. a report on body shape and favorite food
D. how to determine one’s body shape

Marshall Field’s, a department store in Chicago, has long used the motto: “Give the lady what she wants.” Finding out what the customer wants is one of the problems marketing research tries to solve. Making research has been described as trying to analyze marketing problems scientifically. It studies people as buyers and sellers, examining their habits, attitudes, preferences, dislikes, and purchasing power. It often studies specific groups of people, such as teenagers, high-income groups, or senior citizens. Marketing research also investigates distribution(销售) systems, pricing, product design, packaging, brand names, and almost every aspect of the seller-buyer relationship.
Marketing research is divided into a number of sub-areas. Advertising research attemts to find out the effectiveness of advertising. It also seeks to learn the best media for advertising specific products: television, newspapers, radio, magazines, billboards and others.
Market analysis tries to identify and measure markets for specific products and to estimate sales possible. Markets may be differentiated by population groups or by geography. Some types of clothing are more likely to sell in Florida and California than in the northern Midwest. Some cosmetics(化妆品) will be more attractive to black customers than to white customers. Performance analysis helps a company learn how well it is meeting its goals of sales and profits. Product research covers the whole area of new-product development. Marketing research is expensive work, and its costs are built into the prices of products.
68. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word “purchasing” in the first paragraph?
A. buying B. storing C. selling D. giving
69. What helps a company know how well its products are sold and how much money “it can make” ?
A. Advertising research B. Market analysis
C. Performance analysis D. Product research
70. Sweaters produced for and sold to young women are examples of market differentiation according to ___.
A. the seller-buyer relationship B. population group
C. brand names D. geography
71. According to the last paragraph, the cost marketing research ________.
A. is supplied by the producer and seller together
B. is too high to be met by the producer, seller and buyer
C. is met by increasing the price of the product
D. is high but the price of the product is kept low

A man on a lonely island can act as he likes because he has no one to consider except himself. But when Robinson Crusoe discovered footprints in the sand, he could no longer act just as before. He had to think of the existence of another one and the possible effect of his actions upon a second person. Two people thus suddenly brought face to face can not refuse to pay attention to each other. Either one must overcome the other or they must arrive at some form of coexistence(共存).
In the latter event they have first to prove their friendly intentions to each other. When a man comes upon a tribe whose language he does not know, he will nod and smile, make friendly gestures and perhaps send them some gifts. If these offers are successful, the tribesman will take him to his village and bring him food and drink. Moreover, the arrival of an important visitor is something out of the ordinary. So, as an answer to the feeling that their gust should be treated as well as they can, something better than the ordinary food will be provided, and the meal followed by singing and dancing. The host wishes to make his guest feel at home, the guest to show thanks of the kindness he has received.
Questions of good behavior and consideration for others maybe have arisen in one form or another since social life began, because social life is impossible if each person thinks only of himself.
If men are to live together in community they must, as a measure of common sense and in the interest of all, accept a certain number of rules and conventions. Such agreement is more than ever necessary. Chaos(混乱) may result when four people play bridge according to widely different conventions. The same is true of social life.
72. A man on a lonely island can act as he likes because _______?
A. no one cares for him
B. no one feels it necessary to worry about him
C. he feels it necessary to take care of himself
D. he feels it unnecessary to consider others
73. Two strangers will never get along well unless ____.
A. they are brought face to face
B. they fall in love with each other
C. they make peace with each other or one defeats the other
D. they become friends
74. The arrival of an important visitor is something out of the ordinary, so they will ______.
A. pay a return visit to the guest
B. do everything for the visitor
C. receive the visitor better
D. show thanks to the visitor for his visit
75. What would be the best title for this text?
A. The Importance of Good Manners and Behaviors
B. Have You Ever Lived on an Island?
C. Manners D. Robison Crusoe
