3、Reading Comprehension
(1)、 What's the best way to protect, a tender, green seedling from the hungry stomach of deer? Give the seedling bad breath!
The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garlic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.
A kind of chemical selenium (硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree's roots absorb the selenium, which is then carried to the leaves,
From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyselenide (乙烷硒化物)---the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlic. As deer wander around looking for food, they smell the seedlings' leaves and leave the plants alone.
The selenium is important. Why? Because each year deer eat millions of dollars' worth of trees farm seedlings.
So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers think they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.
1. When people eat garlic, ______.
A. they send out a horrible smell
B. they are out of breath
C. they will feel sick
D. it is hard for them to. breathe
2. According to this passage the bad smell given off from those leaves is that of ______.

B. the roots of the young trees smell like garlic
C. the young tree aren't fit for the deer to eat
D. the leaves of the young trees smell like garlic
4. Up till the time the news was announced, this kind of chemical was used ______.
A. all over the world
B. all over the United States
C. on fruit trees and garden trees
D. on Douglas fir young trees

(2)、 The next great land area that man hopes to colonize is the moon. In size it is nearly equal to the area of North and South Americas. However, it presents a hostile environment. Temperatures range from + 120 to - 150 degrees Centigrade. There is no air, no water.
Today there is considerable scientific speculation about living on the moon. When man will begin life on the lunar surface is still not determined. But experts believe that colonization will take place in three steps. First, there will be increasing periods of exploration with temporary shelters. These periods will be followed by longer stays with housing under the surface of the moon and daily necessities brought by the colonizers themselves. Finally, colonies that are self-supporting will be established.
The principal job of the early settlers will be to stay alive. They will have to plant crops under huge domes to produce food and oxygen and find water sources. After this is done, the settlers will have time to explore the possibilities of commercial development and to make discoveries important to science.
The characteristics of the moon that make it bad for human survival may make it ideal for certain kinds of manufacturing. Operations requiring a vacuum, extreme cold or sterility are examples. Precision ball bearings, industrial diamonds or pharmaceuticals might be produced on the moon.
1. The area of the moon is______.
A. about the same as that of North and South Americas
B. larger than that of North and South Americas
C. equal to that of North and South Americas
D. far smaller than that of North and South Americas
2. The temperature on the moon can be as high as______.
A. - 150°CB. + 270°C
C. + 120°CD. - 30°C
3. According to this passage, the colonization of the moon______.
A. will soon be realized
B. can be done under the lunar surface
C. is being speculated by many scientists
D. sounds entirely impossible
4. To stay alive on the moon, the early settlers must first of all be able to ______.
A. develop commerce
B. get enough food, oxygen and water
C. make discoveries important to science
D. explore the possibilities of industrial development
5. Though the environment on the moon is bad for human survival, it is very good for _____.
A. making such things as industrial diamonds
B. all kinds of manufactured goods
C. medical operations
D. commercial development

(3)、 In Switzerland, six miles west of Geneva, lies a collection of laboratories and buildings, and most curious of all, a circular mound of earth more than 650 feet in diameter. This cluster has unique importance. It is Europe's one and only atomic city dedicated to investigation of the atom for peaceful purposes.
The strange buildings belong to the European Council for Nuclear Research, more popularly known, from its French initials, as CERN. The council was born when a handful of statesmen and scientific experts met in Paris in 195{J. Their aim was "to establish an organization providing for collaboration among European states in nuclear research of a pure scientific and fundamental character."
The CERN agreement was signed in 1953, and work on the atomic city began in 1954. Today CERN's facilities are among the most modern and the most diversified in the world. Impressive as the scientific aspect may be the real significance of CERN may lie with the thousand people--the scientists, lab "workers and administrative crew drawn from the fourteen member nations --- who populate it. British engineers work side by side with Swiss electricians, Yugoslav nuclear physicists, and Dutch mathematicians. The official languages are French and English, with German as an unofficial third. But CERN is no tower of Babel ---the language of science is universal and all-embracing.
1. The European Council for Nuclear Research was evolved by_____.
A. the officers of the United Nations

A. limited but effective
B. among the best in the world
C. rapidly expanding
D. both A and C
4. The selection says that CERN is not a tower of Babel, because ______.
A. work is the common denominator of all the staff
B. the language of science is universal
C. CERN has adopted only two official languages
D. all the workers are drawn from one country
5. The real significance of CERN may lie in its staff, because they _____.

(4)、 You say you want my advice about reading. Perhaps, the following are pieces of advice that I hope you’ll find useful.
If the book is in English, that may mean slow progress for you. But I don’t advise you to read too slowly. When I was living in Tokyo, I used to go to Kanda, where the second-hand bookshops are (just as in London, when you were here last year, you used to spend hours in Charing Cross Road). The shelves were full of English books. The first twenty or thirty pages of many of them had their margins(空白) filled with penciled notes and there were lots of words and phrases underlined. The owners, probably university students, had started out very seriously, determined to master the books. Then, as I turned the pages over, I found clean white margins, with not a single note. It was clear that the reader had given up his attempt.
I suppose that’s a common experience in many countries with books in a foreign language. The reader starts out, full of hope. Then the need to turn to a dictionary, perhaps ten or even twenty times a pages, tires him out.
Therefore, don’t start reading a book unless you see, from the first few pages, that it’s one you can read with ease and understanding. Don’t try to run before you can walk. Don’t stop every time you come to a word or phrase you don’t know. Read the whole chapter quickly. Quite often you’ll find the unknown word comes again, perhaps several times, and by the end of the chapter you’ll have guessed its meaning. That’s how we learn the meaning of words in our own language, isn’t it?
1. You can expect to find_______ in Charing Cross Road.
A. books with a lot of blank space
B. many second-hand book shelves
C. books having twenty or thirty pages
D. many bookshops where the used books are sold
2. The writer says ______.
A. too many new words every page will prevent learners from reading to the end
B. you should choose a book with few new words if you prefer not to read too slowly
C. you should never read a book that has ten or twenty new words per page
D. it’s a good idea for the university students to learn the dictionary meaning seriously
3. You can’t complete your reading of a book, ______.
A. unless the book chosen is right for your level and the first few pages can be read easily
B. unless you read a book with the help of a dictionary
C. if you are not filled with hope at the beginning stage of reading
D. if penciled notes are not made in the margins of a page
4. The writer suggests that_______.
A. you try to guess the meaning of a new word through reading
B. you find out what a new word means by using a dictionary
C. you know its meaning whenever you come across a new word
D. you not read a book unless there are no new words
5. This passage tells you ________.
A. how learners choose their books in a foreign language and learn worde
B. how to look up new words in a dictionary
C. how to solve the problem that many foreign students have in reading
D. how the book owners write the notes in pencil in the margins
