Part III Reading Comprehension （共30分）

Section A:Timed Reading （每小题1分，共10分）Directions:In this section,you will have 15minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on the Answer Sheet.

Questions 71to 80are based on the following passage.

The prospect of a revolution in air travel has been raised by NASA’s successful test of a 5,000mph plane.But are we likely to see similar advances in other forms of transport?The way we get about has a major impact on the way we live —affecting where we set up home,work,and holiday.NASA scientists say their experimental X-43A jet has the potential to make the world a much smaller place.People have already started imagining passenger planes that will one day fly from the UK to Australia in two hours.But apart from the huge cost implications,governments are increasingly sensitive to environmental concerns and may resist technology that could harm the planet.So,dusting off the crystal ball,what changes might come in the way we get around?What big ideas are out there,and do they have any chance of seeing the light of day?

The idea:Flying cars

得

分

You will take off from a field or runway near your home and fly to towns and cities across the UK and mainland Europe.

After landing,you will remove the fixed wing from your vehicle and continue your journey by road—right up to your final destination—just as if you were travelling by car.

Fuel efficient engines and the advantage of being able to travel as the crow flies —rather than by winding roads—will keep costs and the environmental impact down.

Will it happen?

It’s not that far fetched.Microlight firm Pegasus is already building closed cabin vehicles,while some aircraft can travel at speeds of up to130mph and fly for up to four hours.

Pegasus boss Bill Brooks says a combined three wheel car and microlight could cost about£30,000.

The downsides

The prospect of deadly crashes and“air rage”come to mind.

The British weather often prevents microlight flying,and you can only travel during daylight hours.You need an airfield and learning to fly isn’t easy.

There is also the question of developing propellers that can safely power cars.

“While driving up the road under propeller power,I saw a group of children on their bicycles.I was afraid I might cut them to pieces.So,I stopped and pushed my car the rest of the way,”says Bill Brooks of an early test run.

The idea:Jet Packs

James Bond used a jet pack to escape from a French hotel after killing his enemy Jacques Boiter in Thunderball.

The idea was also a hit when a professional stuntman flew around on one during the opening ceremony of the1984Los Angeles Olympics.

You will be able to use the device—roughly the size of two small gas tanks on your back—for short journeys like going to the shops.

They will be handy for helping cats get down from trees,cleaning hard-to-reach windows,and arriving in style at a party.

Will it happen?

It’s looking increasingly unlikely—despite the fact we have already seen early models in action.

It remains difficult to build a cheap,reliable version which has a practical use.

The downsides

“Lots of people set their pants on fire and went off in funny directions when they tried them out,”says Austin Williams of the independent Transport Research Group.

And there’s always the issue of whether you really need one.

The idea:Driverless cabs

These computer-controlled pods will take you wherever you want along a fixed route,whenever you want to go.

For the price of one person’s bus fare,several people can ride at speeds of up to 25mph,with fences and raised sections used to guard against accidents.

There will be little,if any,wait for use of the cabs,which will leave from stations and will be accessed by pre-paid smartcards.

The cabs,which will travel on a1.5m-wide track,will use75%less energy per passenger than a car and50%less than a bus.

Will it happen?

There’s a good chance it will.Testing has taken place in Cardiff,where developers hope to have160driverless cabs running by2006.

“We have had a lot of interest from elsewhere in the country,”says ULTra chief executive Martin Lowson.He says Corby and Daventry are both looking at the idea, as are Heathrow and East Midlands airports.

The downsides

The main problem would be finding people to invest in the idea and governments to approve it.There is also the possibility of people damaging the cabs without drivers to protect them.

There’s also the visual impact of raised sections and possible traffic jams during installation of the tracks.

Section B:Reading in Depth（每小题2分，共20分）

Directions:There are2passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage One

Questions81to85are based on the following passage.

Perhaps the most obvious difference between Western and Chinese spending habits can be seen in the area of savings.Even though many Chinese today have access to luxury goods,such as automobiles and electronics,most Chinese choose to save their money at a much higher rate than most Westerners do.It is a well known fact that the Chinese save approximately30%of their personal household income—a savings rate that is nothing short of amazing.If you don’t think so,just compare it to the average rate of savings in America,which currently hovers at around1%.The personal savings rate is higher in most European countries than it is in the U.S.,but Chinese savings are still three times as high as most European countries.Why is there such a difference in spending habits?Is it related to consumer culture?

Despite the average American enjoying a relatively comfortable life and being optimistic about the future,many Americans seem to feel that they never have enough money to meet their‘needs’.They buy too much on credit and live beyond their means.This is in part because they cannot escape the advertising that surrounds them on a daily basis and become convinced that their‘desires’are‘necessities’.This is because they are taught to believe that their future happiness is dependent upon these purchases.Due to these reasons,Americans focus their consumer dollars on clothing, electronics,cars,entertainment,and other luxury items which provide them with immediate satisfaction.

The Chinese,however,have a different view rooted in a very different historical and social environment.Chinese have been influenced by a long history of over5,000 years,and traditional ways still influence the spending habits of most people in this ancient and thoughtful culture.Many Chinese have learned from that nothing is certain—that emergencies can arise in the blink of an eye,and that one must depend on oneself and one’s family to overcome difficult times.Furthermore,the Chinese focus their family loyalties on the extended family instead of limiting them to the nuclear family as we do in most Western countries.Chinese families will commonly spend money to help out a distant relative.The amount of money they spend is focused on savings and on products and services that pay off in the long run such as:education,housing,and investments.

D.American people and Chinese people have different attitudes to their families. Passage Two

Questions86to90are based on the following passage.

I have three grandsons.Two are teens and one a pre-teen.As each is forming his individual opinions on how the world works,I am constantly reminded of the phrase,“Boys will be boys.”This is a ready excuse for bad behavior—an excuse that many grown-ups accept as valid.It allows boys,as well as men,to behave in inappropriate ways and claim that it can’t be helped.After all,advocates（拥护者）hold that males are subjected to impulses that are beyond their control.

What ballyhoo（夸大其词）I think better of my brothers and grandsons than that. Boys need to be raised responsibly with respect for themselves and others.This“boy will be boys”attitude is immature and discourages boys from any introspection（内省）into their inner selves.

Accepting invalid excuses for boys’behavior can be life-threatening.Take the example of young men with brand new driving licenses（执照）racing their cars on city streets.Too many times,we have lost teens to fatal car crashes that could have been avoided had the drivers been practicing safe driving rules.

Teen violence is evident in schools and entertainment places where teens gather. Their parents and their peers often tell boys of all ages to stand up for themselves even if it means violence.I can’t tell you how many times,as a teacher,I have heard parents say,“If he hits you,you hit him back.”This world-view of being a man through violence must stop.It is not inevitable that boys must fight to gain respect. Teenage boys need to learn ways to resolve conflict.Conflict can be solved in peaceful ways through peer mediation（调解）that results in longer-lasting solutions.It requires acceptance of responsibility for one’s own behavior,a lesson that stands up well over time.

A“boys will be boys”attitude is outdated in today’s world.We need males who care about themselves and others,who aren’t afraid to show their emotions,and who value equality for all people.
