    Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension (60 points) 
     
    Directions:  
     
    There are four reading passages in this part Each passage is followed by five questions. For each 
     
    question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and 
     
    blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. 
     
    Passage One  
     
    Researchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This 
     
    type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to 
     
    forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods 
     
    of rapid eye movement. 
     
    There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid 
     
    eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name 
     
    implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.  
     
    Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. 
     
    It is during REM sleep that a person dreams. 
     
    61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?  
     
       A. Once                       B. Twice               C. Four of five times           D. Forty times  
     
    62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following? 
     
       A. heavier.                    B. louder.                    C. stronger.                        D. happier.  
     
    63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep? 
     
       A. His eyes begin to move.                       B. His breathing becomes faster.  
     
       C. His heart rate increases.                              D. His eyes stop moving.  
     
    64. The subject of this passage is ________. 
     
       A. why people sleep                                        B. the human need for REM sleep  
     
       C. the characteristic of REM sleep                   D. physical changes in the human body 
     
    65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?  
     
       A. REM Sleep       B. Two Types of Sleep      C. Sleepers   D. What Happens to Sleepers 
     
    Passage Two 
     
    The Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to 
     
    have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she 
     
    lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named 
     
    Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 
     
    1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of 
     
    this story-and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the 
     
    name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles 
     
    Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, 
     
    including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not 
     
    originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.   
     
    66. What is suppssed to have happened in 1719? Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.   
     
    Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.  
     
    The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.  
     
    Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.  
     
    67. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________. 
     
       A. a real person                                               B. a book written by a little old woman  
     
       C. a collection by Elizabeth Vergoose        D. a translation from French 
     
    68. When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.  
     
    no story of the book had been known to people  
     
    some stories of the book were already well known  
     
    few people were interested in the stories of the book   
     
    stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular 
     
    69. The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.  
     
       A. Mother Goose         B. Mere I’ Oye  C. Elizabeth Vergoose  D. Charles Perrault 
     
    70. On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin of stories 
     
    “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”?  
     
    They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose.  
     
    They were invented by Thomas Fleet.  
     
    They were invented by Charles Perrault.   
     
    Their writers are unknown. 
     
      
     
    Passage Three  
     
    Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to 
     
    demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that 
     
    it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the 
     
    same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at 
     
    once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they 
     
    wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in 
     
    December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks 
     
    expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller 
     
    had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay 
     
    on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The 
     
    length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People 
     
    began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic 
     
    atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could 
     
    pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty 
     
    keeping herself from doing the same.   
     
    71. A bank run happens when _______. 
     
    a bank is closed for one or more days   
     
    too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time  
     
    there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one time   
     
    tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank 
     
    72. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________. 
     
    explain why they could not pay out all accounts   pay out accounts as requested  
     
    make the depositors believe that the bank was stand  
     
    pay out money as slowly as possible  
     
    73. The main cause of a bank run is _______. 
     
       A. loss of confidence                                       B. lack of money    
     
       C. crowds of people                                        D. inexperienced tellers 
     
    74. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?  
     
    She know that the bank was not sound.  
     
    She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.  
     
    She was not able to draw out her money.   
     
    She was tempted to draw out her money. 
     
    75. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected 
     
    mainly by the _______.  
     
    ease with which they could get their money  
     
    confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed  
     
    failure of several other banks to open   
     
    confidence shown by other depositors of the bank 
     
    Passage Four 
     
    One of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous 
     
    century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable 
     
    that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 
     
    percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel 
     
    needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had

      The bicycle is the most popular means of transportation in China. China is a country “on bicycle wheels”。 People ride them for various purposes such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy to buy in China.
      There are many advantages to riding a bicycle. First, using a bicycle can greatly help reduce the air pollution in many big cities. Second, people can improve their health by riding a bicycle.
      The future of bicycle will be bright. In some European countries, city governments have arranged pedestrians to use “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge
