III. Reading Comprehension: ( 30 points)

Passage 1

After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report.. the damage and death toll (死亡人数)could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.

Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, chang es made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more-resistant to quakes.

Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints（蓝图）for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.

In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and woods,that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building odd its foundation, and

insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent design give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.

The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.

1.One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is

that_____D______.

A.new computers had been installed in the buildings

B.it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/7b12390539.html,rge numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday

D.improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways

2.The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to_____A_____.

A.counterbalance an earthquake’s action on the building

B.predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy

C.help strengthen the foundation of the building

D.measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations

3.The smart buildings discussed in the passage____B______.

A.would cause serious financial problems

B.would be worthwhile though costly

C.would increase the complexity of architectural design

D.can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes

Passage 2

The appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects. Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement. For example, some advertisers have appealed to peop le’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage(英里数). Some of the products work. Others are worthless and a waste of consumer’s money.

Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading. A few years ago a brand of bread was offered to dieters(节食者) with the message that there were fewer calories(热量单位，大卡) in every slice. It turned out that the bread was not dietetic(适合于节食的), but just regular bread. There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin, but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.

On the positive side, emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns. Consider fire insurance. Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss. But fear of loss is the real reason for fire insurance. The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people. If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads, they will benefit from the advertising.

Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation. Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it? Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers, but it does not force them to buy the product. Consumers still control the final buying decision.

4.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by______C_________.

A.maintaining a balance between quality and price

B.convincing him of their low price

C.appealing to his buying motives

D.stressing their high quality

5.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that_______A_________.

A.the total number of calories in the loaf remained the same

B.thin slices of bread could contain more calories

C.the loaf was cut into regular slices

D.the bread was not genuine bread

6.The passage tells us that__________C___________.

A.Advertisements occasionally force consumers into buying things they don’t need

B.The buying motives of consumers are controlled by advertisements

C.Sometimes advertisements really sell what the consumer needs

D.Fire insurance is seldom a worthwhile investment

7.It can be inferred from the passage that a smart consumer should _______B_________.

A.be familiar with various advertising strategies

B.think carefully about the benefits described in the advertisements

C.guard against the deceiving nature(欺骗性) of advertisements

D.avoid buying products that have strong emotional appeal

Passage 3

I love traveling in the countryside, but I don’t like losing my way. I went on a trip recently, but my trip took me longer than I expected.

“I’m going to Woodford Green,” I said to the conductor as I got on the bus, “but I don’t know where it is.”

“I’ll tell you where to get off,” answer the conductor.

I sat in the front of the bus to get a good view of the countryside. After some time, the bus stopped. Looking around, I realized with a shock that I was the only passenger left on the bus.

“You’ll have to get off there,” the conductor said. “This is as far as we go.”

“Is this Woodford Green?” I asked.

“Oh, dear,” said the conductor suddenly. “I forgot to put you off.”

“It doesn’t matter,” I said. “I’ll get off here.”

“We are going back now,” said the conductor.

“Well, in that case, I would prefer to stay on the bus,” I answered.

Sorry to have caused these problems.
