III. Reading Comprehension 930 points, 2 points for each) 从下列每篇短文的问
题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。
Passage One Questions 21 to 25 to 25 are based on the following passage. For
a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers use another kind of
examination in addition to objective tests. They use "essay" tests, which require
students to write long answers to broad, general questions such as the following:"
Mention several ways I which Benjamin Franklin has influenced the thinking of
people in his own country and in other parts of the world." One advantage of the
essay test is that it reduces the element of luck. The student cannot get a high
score just by making a lucky guess. Another advantage is that it shows the examiner
more abort the student’s ability to put facts together into a meaningful whole.
It should show how deeply he has thought about the subject. Sometimes, though,
essay tests gave disadvantages, too. Some students are able to write rather good
answers without really knowing much about the subject, while other students who
actually know the material have trouble expressing their ideas in the essay form.
Besides, in an essay test the student’s score may depend upon the examiner’s
feelings at the time of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or bored, the
student may receive a lower score than he should. Another examiner reading the
same answer might give it a much higher mark. Because of this, the objective test
gives each student a fairer chance, and of course it is easier and quicker to
score. Whether an objective test or an essay test it used, problems arise. When
some objective questions are used along with some essay questions, however, a
fairly clear picture of the student’s knowledge can usually be obtained.
21.What may have been discussed in the previous paragraphs?
[A]The essay test.
[B][How teachers test their students.
[C]How students write their essays.
[D]The objective test.
22.The essay test is preferred because _______?
[A]it shows more about the student’s understanding of the subject
[B]it tests the student’s knowledge of the material as well as his expression of ideas.
[C]it gives each student a fairer chance
[D]its scoring may be influenced by the examiner’s feelings
23.The word ’this’(Line 4, Para.3)refers to the fact that _______?
[A]students may receive a lower score in an essay test
[B]another examiner usually
gives the answer a higher mark
[C]different examiners may give the same essay
different scores
[D]the objective test gives each student a fairer chance
24.According to the passage, which of the following statements about the objective
test is NOT true?
[A]It is more objective than the essay test in terms of scoring.
[B]It allows the student to guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.
[C]It shows the student’s ability to think about difficult problems.
[D]It is easy and quick to score.
25.According to the author, an ideal test should be ________?
[A]an objective test
[B]an essay test
[C]a combination of the two

Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Around the
world two thirds of the people are farmers. Most of them engage in subsistence
farming. This means that they raise plants and animals to furnish their families
with food and other supplies. They consume their varied output and have little
to sell or to trade for other goods. Subsistence farms were common in the United
States at on time, but there are few such farms today. Two thirds of American
farmers practice commercial farming. Commercial farms produce about 97 per cent
of the country’s agricultural goods. These farms are operated much like other
industries. The members of the farm family produce the commodities(商品)that will
be sent to the market. They sell their products and buy the things they need.
Some commercial farms are big factories in the field. They may be owned by company
or by an individual as an investment. Most American farms, however, are still
operated by families. A farmer may own or rent his land. In a country as large
as the United States, farms vary widely in climate, land surface, soil, water
supply, convenience to market, and other characteristics. Different regions may
have different kinds of specialized farms. Specialized farmers concentrate on
the kind of farming best suited to the land and climate, to their technical skills,
and to the money they invest in the farm. However, no region is limited to a single
type of farm. Indeed few farms are limited to one crop or commodity. Where out
put is varied and no one kind of crop or commodity produces more than half of
a farm’s income, it is classified as a general farm. The general farmer grows
varied crops to use the efferent kinds of soils or surfaces on his land and to
employ his time and machinery most efficiently. 26.Subsistence farmers ______.
[A]grow crops for their families’ own use [B]sell a lot of their products for
money [C]trade their varied out put for other goods [D]use their agricultural
products as commodities 27.Subsistence farms ______. [A]are very popular in the
United States now [B]are still common in many parts of the world [C]consist of
two thirds of the total number of the farms in the world today [D]used to be the
major form of farming in the world 28.American commercial farms ______. [A]furnish
the country with two thirds of the food its people need [B]are run in much the
same way as other industries [C]are all owned by different companies [D]never
rent their land for farming 29.Aspecialized farm is characterized by ______.
[A]its especially large size [B]its independence of the market [C]its
concentration on a single type of farming [D]tits special way of operation 30.A
farm is classified a general if ______. [A]more than half of its income comes
from varied crops [B]it is limited to a single type of farm [C]it employs different
kinds of machines [D]the soils or surfaces of its land are used most efficiently
Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. No one knows
for sure why birds migrate(定期迁徙).One theory of migration says that ancient
birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the Ice Age,
when ice covered large parts of Europe, Asia and North America. As the ice melted,
the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south
again in winter. Gradually, these comings and goings became habits, and birds
now migrate though much of the ice has gone. Another theory proposes that the
ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas. There lived so well that
the region became overcrowded. Many species had to move northward. During the
summer, these birds found plenty of room and food. In winter, however, food became
scarce and they had to return to the south. A newer theory is that increasing
daylight stimulates certain glands(腺)in the bird’s body and prepares it for
migration. One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by ex posing
them for two months to artificial daylight. Recoveries of marked birds indicate
that they fly north as soon as they are set free. The conclusion is that the urge
to migrate is determined by changes in the bird’s body which take place under
seasonal changes in the length of daylight. This theory would account for the
fact that not all birds migrate at the same time. Each species seems to have its
own schedule. The theory would also account for the regular time and routes of
migration. Birds arrive at a given place year after year. Unfavorable weather
delays them only a few days. Total hours of daylight, rather than weather, start
them on the way. How birds find their way to the same place year and why they
follow their own particular route are still mysteries. They evidently do not
follow known landmarks(地面标志),for many young birds migrate alone without the
help of experienced adults.
31.We can conclude from the first paragraph that
______.
[A]during the Ice Age, the whole Europe was covered with ice
[B]the south
used to be the homelands of all birds
[C]scientists can confidently explain why
birds migrate now
[D]migration of birds can be explained by the change of ice
on earth
32.The birds mentioned in the third paragraph fly north in midwinter
because ________.
[A]they are specially trained by a scientist
[B]they are affected by seasonal changes
[C]there is a change in their body temperature
[D]they are exposed to extra daylight
33.The phrase "account for" (line2,Para.4)most probably means _______.
[A]indicate [B]explain [C]prove [D]provide
34.Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?
[A]Birds do not migrate at the same time.
[B]Birds usually follow regular routes
of migration.
[C]Each species has a special reason for migration.
[D]Birds migrate
to their own particular places every year.
35.The best title for the passage is ______.
[A]Different Accounts of Migration
[B]Migration and Weather
[C]New
Discovery of Bird Migration
[D]Routes of Bird Migration
