V. Reading Comprehension
(A)
As the first report of the accident came in, Burton was sitting in his office on the top floor of the building. Immediately, realizing the seriousness of the whole incident, he moved to a ground floor room with a small waiting-room to look into the matter himself, leaving his second-in-command to take over all other cases.
He interviewed the first witness almost at once, making sure that everything was done that could be done to put him at his ease. However, the witness was obviously nervous and Burton took great pains to go over what he said thoroughly, choosing and checking each word carefully and taking the man's statement down himself. The witness had called the police and he'd waited until the ambulances began to arrive, then when the first police car arrived on the scene he'd been asked to report to the station which was what he had done.
Burton explained that regrettably it would be necessary for him to go to court because of the serious nature of the disaster. More he could not say at present. He'd be thankful if the man could keep in touch with the police.
When he had gone, Burton put his head in his hands and considered before asking for the next witness. The man couldn't be regarded as a hundred percent witness because he had been behind a wall when the explosion occurred. But in spite of his nerves, Burton had the impression that he was dependable, not afraid of relating himself to it and a fairly exact observer.
When there would be other descriptions and no doubt all these would be put into place and the whole picture would become clear. He raised his head and press the bell on his desk.
"Next witness please," he said.
56. Why did Burton move to the ground floor when he heard the incident?
A. Because the ground floor room had a small waiting-room.
B. Because it would be easier for him to interview the witness.
C. Because he was not pleased to work on the top floor.
D. Because it would be easier for him to talk with the people.
57. How did the witness feel during the interview?
A. Obviously somewhat frightened. B. Excited at seeing the incident.
C. Anxious to give a report to the police. D. Calm and unhurried.
58. The underlined part "a hundred percent witness" most probably means ________.
A. a patient and talkative person B. a well-informed witness
C. the only person who was interviewed in the incident
D. a person who watched the whole incident
(B)
The ant is a rather complicated creature yet it is synonym (同义词) for lack of individuality. All ants look alike and seem to act alike. Maybe if we got to know them well enough we might find some traces of individuality among them.
Individuality becomes more obvious among animals and fish. If you keep a fish tank at home you will notice that some fish are shy and slip under a stone at the first approach of a person. Others stare you in the eye without blinking. Some are greedy, others just take tiny bites at their food. Some are bullies, others are friendly. After a while you will not mistake one fish for another even if they are of the same species.
But it is with man that individuality becomes most strongly marked. Not two human faces are exactly the same in spite of the efforts of fashion to make them so. The individuality extends to more than the physical appearance. Even with so called "identical twins" there are difference of character and temperament (气质) at a deeper level. These differences are increased by the differing experiences of people throughout life.
We value this individuality of human beings. It gives rise to the attractive variety of our race.
59. The author implies that _________.
A. tha ant must have a sort of individuality B. the ant is a kind of germ
C. the ant is complicated enough D. we want to find individuality among ants
60. Bullies are __________.
A. those who use strength or power to frighten or hurt others
B. enemies to those who are friendly
C. those who can be strong sports players
D. those who always steal food from other fish
61. We can learn from the second paragraph that ________.
A. fish are not greedy B. fish are afraid of strangers
C. only pet fish show individuality D. you may be able to tell one pet fish from another
62. It seems that individuality of human beings _________.
A. only brings aobut trouble in the society
B. makes our society more colorful and interesting
C. has nothing to do with our human society
D. is the same as that of fish and animals
(C)

(D)
In October 1994 the United Nations brought a number of specialists on food to Geneva, to discuss the problems of eating habits and food supplies of peoples throughout the world. One problem that interested the specialissts particulary was a form of illness, about which little was known, among the children in Africa and Latin America. The World Health Organization (WHO) planned to study this disease to determine the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the disease.
Two doctors were chosen the make the sutdy. They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found those serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor.
The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child's stomach becomes swollen (膨胀的) by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes color and may break out in open sores (溃疡处). The hair changes color and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even if food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.
The doctors reasoned that kwnshiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breast-feeding, gave them foods full of starches (淀粉) instead of greatly needed proteins. They found that the addition of milk to the food of children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.
The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease, which has been killing thousands of children for centuries - was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago. The deaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to other diseases. It was the WHO's work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America.
67. From the passage we learn that kwashiorkor is a disease caused by ________.
A. poor living conditions B. lack of proteins in food
C. breast-feeding D. lack of food
68. It is difficult to discover kwashiorkor because ________.
A. it has no symptoms at all B. it is hard to identify signs of it
C. it doesn't last long enough for careful observation
D. it is hardly distinguishable from other diseases
69. What is mentioned as a simple but efficient way of curing this disease?
A. Taking a special medicine. B. Avoiding any food containing starch.
C. Having more meat or milk. D. Taking medicines full of proteins.
70. What's the best title for the article?
A. Meat Is Daily Necessity B. Bad Eating Habits
C. A New Form of Illness in Africa and Latin America
D. A Case of Eating Habits
