III. Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points)
Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.
Passage 1
Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is bicycle，or "bike".
In a great many cities，hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City，some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.
For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bicycle riders. For example，they want the city to draw special lanes - for bicycles only -on some of the main streets，because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars，there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes，more people would use bikes.
But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the idea - they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea - they say that if there is less traffic，they will have less business. And more people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.
The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends，Central Park - the largest piece of open ground in New York - is closed to cars，and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.
31．The people in the group of Bike for a Better City_______.
want to get the government's support
ask all the people to try bikes
have the answer to the troubles of car crowding and dirty air in large cites
Both A and C.
32．The idea to have some special lanes for bikes is not a good one for people who _______.
live far away from the city

The city government wants to please everyone.
The city government just sits on that idea.
Bike riders have their own lanes at last.
More and more people want to buy bikes.
34．Implied but not stated：_______
Many large cities really face the serious problem of noise pollution and air pollution.
Bikes are getting popular in some cities.
New York City is so crowded and the traffic is slowed down.
The government is carrying out a plan to make the city less dirty and noisy.
35．The title for this passage is _______.
'Bikes Make Fewer Traffic Accidents'

'Bikes Are Better Than Cars'
'Pollution in Big City'
Passage 2
Patrick Carroll was a native of Ballihoy，in Ireland，and at the age of twenty-two，he joined the 7th Regiment of Fusiliers. He remained in this army for a period of seven years. After that he joined the navy. His unit was stationed at Woolwich；and the public house he frequently visited was kept by Mrs. Browning，a widow. He formed an idea that his attentions were not disagreeable to Mrs. Browning，and repeatedly asked her to marry him. It does not appear that she totally ignored his advances；but Carroll often got drunk and behaved in such a manner towards her as to cause her displeasure. She refused any longer to listen to his courtship.
On Sunday，the 26th of April，1835，he went to the public house and found that Mrs. Browning had some friends to tea，but he was not invited. Some angry words were exchanged between them，and he was forced to leave the house. The next morning he returned，and demanded that he be permitted to say a few words to Mrs. Browning in private(私下). This was refused. Nevertheless，he entered the bar where she was and，after having repeatedly struck her with his hand，he drew his sword and stabbed her.

Passage 3
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.
If a late telephone call is regarded in the United States as a cause for concern, imagine the excitement and fear caused by a crowd of people arriving at the door at 2:00pm. On an island in the south Pacific, a plant manager from the United States had just such an experience. The natives of the island met one night to discuss a problem. When they arrived at a solution, they went to see the plant manager and woke him up to tell him what had been decided. Unfortunately, they did not know that it is a very serious matter to wake up Americans at such an hour. The plant manager, who did not understand the local culture, thought there was a fight and called the police. It never occurred to him(or to the natives)that parts of the day have different meanings in different cultures.
41．According to the U.S. custom, what does a very early telephone call mean to an American? _______
Very impolite． Not usual． Very urgent． Not necessary.
42．At which of the following hours is a phone call NOT regarded as of primary importance? _______
11：00am． 11：30pm． 5：00am． 12：00pm.
43．Why did the natives go to the plant manager's home and wake him up? _______
To have a talk with him．
To inform him of their decision.
To discuss a problem with him．
To tell him a problem they met with.
44．What was the manager's immediate reaction to the natives' arrival? _______
He thought the natives were mad.
He didn't take it seriously.
He called in a policeman to talk with the natives.
He believed there was a fight and called the police at once.
45．What is most likely caused by a phone call or a visit at midnight? _______
Concern． Fear． Excitement． All of the above.
