第三部分  阅读理解



  说明:阅读下列短文,从[A]、[B]、[C]、[D]四个选项中选择一个正确答案。

  About 16 million people in the United States have lost some of their hearing. About two million others are extremely or completely deaf (聋的). They cannot hear speech or most other sounds in their everyday (每天的,日常的) life, even with a hearing aid to make sounds louder.

  There are several kinds of hearing loss. The first kind is caused by disease or injury (伤害,毁坏) to the outer (外部的) or middle part of the ear. The damage prevents sound waves (声波) from reaching the inner (内部的,核心的) ear. Usually, this kind of hearing loss is not extreme (极端的). And a hearing aid or medical treatment (处理,治疗) can often restore (恢复) hearing. A second kind of hearing loss has something to do with the nerves (神经). It is caused by damage to the inner ear. A loud noise or disease may destroy some of the tiny nerve cells that carry sound. People suffering this kind of damage may lose the ability to hear some sounds, high or low. The third kind of deafness is called a central hearing loss. It is caused by damage to the hearing nerves leading to the brain or in the brain itself.

56."A hearing aid", as used in the first paragraph (段), refers to   

  A louder sound. 

  A recorder (录音机). 

  Something that can help people to hear by making the sounds louder. 

  A radio. 

57.Which kind of hearing loss is the most serious?

  The third kind.  The first kind.  The second kind. None.       

58.Hearing loss caused by    can be restored.

  damage to the outer ear 

  damage to the inner ear 

  damage to the brain 

  damage to the nerves 

59.Which of the following is true?

  Even a hearing aid can't help people to hear. 

  About 16 million people in the United States are completely deaf. 

  Any damage to the ear may cause the loss of hearing forever. 

  Some hearing loss can be treated. 



  Friends or contemporaries (同龄人) are a great influence on the actions, thoughts, and words of young people. This influence, known as peer (同辈) pressure (压力), is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do, think, or say?

  Most of us, children included, feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance (接受,承认) and friendship. In order to gain them, we act like our friends, and listen to their advice, whether or not it is helpful (有帮助的,有益的). Some of us even begin to think like our friends, sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to exert (尽,施加) pressure to keep him away from drugs, but frequently peer pressure is too great. This conflict between being your own person and, at the same time, responding to the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.

60.The passage mainly talks about   .

  peer pressure 

  friendship 

  conflicts between young people and their parents 

  problems for young people 

61.In the third sentence of the second paragraph (段), "them" refers to   .

  acceptance and friendship 

  children 

  strong needs to be liked by others 

  our friends' advice 

62."being your own person" in the last sentence most probably means   .

  having enough self-confidence (信心,信任) 

  trying not to tell any lie 

  keeping yourself away from drugs 

  acting according to your own beliefs and values 

63.The second paragraph focuses on   .

  what people should do for their children 

  what peer pressure is 

  how young people start to take drugs 

  why young people are easily influenced by their peers 



  There are many differences between the living conditions of people in the Los Angeles area and those of Topeka, Kansas. For example, the Los Angeles area offers many places to go and see, but in Topeka the places are limited. Places such as Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm or even the mountains and ocean, which are common to Los Angeles, provide the area with entertainment (娱乐,文艺节目), for example. Another major contrast (对照) between the two geographic (地理的) areas is in the field of job opportunities. Los Angeles has many industries, which in turn create (创造,产生) job opportunities, but in the Topeka area there are only a few industries and thus few job opportunities. Also, the people working at their jobs in Topeka stay with the same job for many years because of the limited opportunity (机会) for advancement. By contrast, the job advancement opportunity in the Los Angeles area is much better because there are more jobs to begin with and, therefore, people will change jobs more freely.

  An equally important contrast is the variation (变化,变异) of shopping places. In Los Angeles anyone can shop around for the best deal before making a major purchase (购买,购买的物品), such as a new car; in Topeka there are few shopping places, especially shopping centres and car dealers. Thus people in Topeka do not have the choice in the first place, nor can they make the deals that the people in Los Angeles can.

  On the whole the Los Angeles area has many advantages over the entire Topeka, Kansas area.

  

64.Which is the diagram (图,图解) showing the right relation of the places mentioned in the passage?

  A         To=B       Kal=C       Di=D       

65.Which is NOT talked about in the passage?

  It is more difficult for people in Topeaka to change a job than those in Los Angeles. 

  There are many more places to visit in Los Angeles than in Topeka. 

  It is easier for one to find a job in Los Angeles than in Topeka. 

  Los Angeles has a larger population than Topeka. 

66.The reason for more job opportunities in Los Angeles than in Topeka is that   .

  there are more people in Los Angeles 

  there is a major difference between the two geographic areas 

  there are many industries in Los Angeles 

  there are limited opportunities in Los Angeles 

67.In the writer's eyes, if you want to make a good choice before buying a new car, go to   .

  Disneyland    Topeka      Los Angeles    Kansas

  Computer programmer David Jones earned $35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.

  He works for a small company in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are finding jobs. David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards (信用卡).

  David got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels (普通成绩) and working for a time in a computer shop. "I got the job because the people who run the company knew I had already written some programs," he said.

  "I suppose 35,000 pounds sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year." He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 20 pounds a week as he lives with his parents. But most of his spare time is spent working.

  "Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility (可能). You never know when the market might disappear."

  He lives at home with his parents. 

  He has got a job. 

  He earns an extremely high payment. 

  He does not go out much. 


73.David's greatest problem is that   .

  he can't make as many games as he wishes 

  he can't be treated as an adult (成年人) by the bank 

  he had learnt to use computers at school 


74.He left school after taking six O-levels because   .

  he wanted to work on computers 

  he was afraid that the market might disappear 

  he did not enjoy school at all 

  he wanted to become a millionaire (百万富翁) and retire early 


75.Why does David think he might retire early?

  He thinks his company might close down. 

  He wants to stop working when he is a millionaire (百万富翁). 

  One has to be young to write computer programs. 

  He thinks computer games might not always sell so well.
