Reading Comprehension (A) As the first report of the accident came in, Burton was sitting in his office on the top floor of the building. Immediately, realizing the seriousness of the whole incident, he moved to a ground floor room with a small waiting-room to look into the matter himself, leaving his second-in-command to take over all other cases. He interviewed the first witness almost at once, making sure that everything was done that could be done to put him at his ease. However, the witness was obviously nervous and Burton took great pains to go over what he said thoroughly, choosing and checking each word carefully and taking the man's statement down himself. The witness had called the police and he'd waited until the ambulances began to arrive, then when the first police car arrived on the scene he'd been asked to report to the station which was what he had done. Burton explained that regrettably it would be necessary for him to go to court because of the serious nature of the disaster. More he could not say at present. He'd be thankful if the man could keep in touch with the police. When he had gone, Burton put his head in his hands and considered before asking for the next witness. The man couldn't be regarded as a hundred percent witness because he had been behind a wall when the explosion occurred. But in spite of his nerves, Burton had the impression that he was dependable, not afraid of relating himself to it and a fairly exact observer. When there would be other descriptions and no doubt all these would be put into place and the whole picture would become clear. He raised his head and press the bell on his desk. "Next witness please," he said. 56. Why did Burton move to the ground floor when he heard the incident? A. Because the ground floor room had a small waiting-room. B. Because it would be easier for him to interview the witness. C. Because he was not pleased to work on the top floor. D. Because it would be easier for him to talk with the people. 57. How did the witness feel during the interview? A. Obviously somewhat frightened. B. Excited at seeing the incident. C. Anxious to give a report to the police. D. Calm and unhurried. 58. The underlined part "a hundred percent witness" most probably means . A. a patient and talkative person B. a well-informed witness C. the only person who was interviewed in the incident D. a person who watched the whole incident (B) The ant is a rather complicated creature yet it is synonym for lack of individuality. All ants look alike and seem to act alike. Maybe if we got to know them well enough we might find some traces of individuality among them. Individuality becomes more obvious among animals and fish. If you keep a fish tank at home you will notice that some fish are shy and slip under a stone at the first approach of a person. Others stare you in the eye without blinking. Some are greedy, others just take tiny bites at their food. Some are bullies, others are friendly. After a while you will not mistake one fish for another even if they are of the same species. But it is with man that individuality becomes most strongly marked. Not two human faces are exactly the same in spite of the efforts of fashion to make them so. The individuality extends to more than the physical appearance. Even with so called "identical twins" there are difference of character and temperament at a deeper level. These differences are increased by the differing experiences of people throughout life. We value this individuality of human beings. It gives rise to the attractive variety of our race. 59. The author implies that . A. tha ant must have a sort of individuality B. the ant is a kind of germ C. the ant is complicated enough D. we want to find individuality among ants 60. Bullies are . A. those who use strength or power to frighten or hurt others B. enemies to those who are friendly C. those who can be strong sports players D. those who always steal food from other fish 61. We can learn from the second paragraph that . A. fish are not greedy B. fish are afraid of strangers C. only pet fish show individuality D. you may be able to tell one pet fish from another 62. It seems that individuality of human beings . A. only brings aobut trouble in the society B. makes our society more colorful and interesting C. has nothing to do with our human society D. is the same as that of fish and animals (C) ABOUT OUR TRIPS Journey Modules Independent travelers just love flexibility.

One problem that interested the specialissts particulary was a form of illness, about which little was known, among the children in Africa and Latin America. The World Health Organization (WHO) planned to study this disease to determine the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the disease. Two doctors were chosen the make the sutdy. They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found those serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor. The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child's stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes color and may break out in open sores . The hair changes color and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even if food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced. The doctors reasoned that kwnshiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breast-feeding, gave them foods full of starches instead of greatly needed proteins. They found that the addition of milk to the food of children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives. The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease, which has been killing thousands of children for centuries - was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago. The deaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to other diseases. It was the WHO's work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America. 67. From the passage we learn that kwashiorkor is a disease caused by . A. poor living conditions B. lack of proteins in food C. breast-feeding D. lack of food 68. It is difficult to discover kwashiorkor because . A. it has no symptoms at all B. it is hard to identify signs of it C. it doesn't last long enough for careful observation D. it is hardly distinguishable from other diseases 69. What is mentioned as a simple but efficient way of curing this disease? A. Taking a special medicine. B. Avoiding any food containing starch. C. Having more meat or milk. D. Taking medicines full of proteins. 70. What's the best title for the article? A. Meat Is Daily Necessity B. Bad Eating Habits C. A New Form of Illness in Africa and Latin America D. A Case of Eating Habits (E) How Good Are US Drivers? The CBS-TV“National Drivers’ Test .showed that many US drivers have a lot to learn.Here’s why.

Yes.Drivers with three or more years of experience averaged 51 points.Drivers with less experience averaged 49. Here are some surprising facts brought out by the test: 1.More than one out of three drivers did not know that a blinking red light means a full stop. 2.Three out of ten drivers did not know that an octagonalsign means stop. 3.More than two out of three drivers did not know what to do when being“tailgated . The answer: slow down.drive to the right.and let the driver behind pass.

 Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

   Sociologists have long recognised that organisations of less than 200 individuals can operate through the free flow of information among the members. Once their size goes beyond this figure, the organizations are getting less flexible. So it seems necessary to prevent total disorder resulting from failures of communication.

   One solution to this problem would, of course, be to structure large organisations into smaller units of a size that can act as a group. By allowing these groups to build reliance on each other, larger organizations can be built up. However, merely having groups of, say, 150 will never of itself be a complete solution to the problems of the organization. Something else is needed: the people involved must be able to build direct personal relationships. To allow free flow of information, they have to be able to communicate with each other in a casual way. Maintaining too formal a structure of relationships inevitably prevents the way a system works.

   The importance of this was drawn to my attention two years ago by the case of a TV station. Whether by chance or by design, it so happened that there were almost exactly 150 people in the station. The whole process worked very smoothly as an organization for many years until they were moved into purpose-built accommodation. Then, for no apparent reason, the work seemed to be more difficult to do, not to say less satisfying.

   It was some time before they work out what the problem was. It turn out that, when the architects were designing the new building, they decided that the coffee room where everyone ate their sandwiches at lunch times was an unnecessary luxury and so did away with it. And with that, they accidentally destroyed the close social networks that strengthened the whole organization. What had apparently been happening was that, as people gathered informally over their sandwiches in the coffee room, useful information was casually being exchanged.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

1.What size of an organization may lead to communication failures?

2.What are the two solutions to the communication problem within a large organization?

3.After the TV station moved into new accommodation, its operation ___________________________.

4.From the case of the TV station, we can conclude it is ____________________________________ that make(s) an organization more successful.

阅读下面短文,从1---20各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该选项标号涂黑。
One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point , he used an illustration.
As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he    2   placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the    3   and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar    4 ?” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”
“Really?” Then he    5  under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel(沙砾,石子),dumped some in and   6  the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space    7  the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probably not.” One of them answered. “Good!” he replied.
He reached under the table and    8   a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the    9   left between the rocks and the gravel.    10   he asked the question. “No!” the class shouted. “Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in    11   the jar was filled to the brim.
Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the    12  of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one   13   student raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always   14   some more things in it.”
“No,” the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will    15   get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first.    16   the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and    17  for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with    18   things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are   19   on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your    20   first.”
