ANSWERS:

VI. READING COMPREHENSION(10PTS)


READING 1: Read the text below and then answer the questions 61-70.
Most human diets contain between 10 and 15 percent of their total calories as protein. The rest of the dietary
energy comes from carbohydrates, fats, and in some people, alcohol. The proportion of calories from fats
varies from 10 percent in poor communities to 40 percent or more in rich communities.
In addition to providing energy, fats have several other functions in the body. The fat-soluble vitamins,
A, D, E, and K, are dissolved in fats, as their name implies. Good sources of these vitamins have high oil
or fat content, and the vitamins are stored in the body’s fatty tissues. In the diet, fats cause food to
remain longer in the stomach, thus increasing the feeling of fullness for some time after a meal is eaten.
Fats add variety, taste, and texture to foods, which accounts for the popularity of fried foods. Fatty
deposits in the body have an insulating and protective value. The curves of the human female body are
due mostly to strategically located fat deposits.
Whether a certain amount of fat in the diet is essential to human health is not definitely known. When
rats are fed a fat-free diet, their growth eventually ceases, their skin becomes inflamed and scaly, and
their reproductive systems are damaged. Two fatty acids, linoleic and arachidonic acids, prevent these
abnormalities and hence are called essential fatty acids. They also are required by a number of other
animals, but their roles in human beings are debatable. Most nutritionists consider linoleic fatty acid an
essential nutrient for humans. 3
61. This passage probably appeared in which of the following?
A. diet book B. A book on basic nutrition
C. A cookbook D. A popular women’s magazine
62. We can infer from the passage that all of the following statements about fats are true EXCEPT
A. fats provide energy for the body

65. The author states that fats serve all of the following body functions EXCEPT to
A. promote a feeling of fullness B. insulate and protect the body
C. provide energy D. control weight gain
66. The word “essential to” in line 12 is closest in meaning to________
A. required for B. desired for C. detrimental to D. beneficial to
67. According to the author of the passage, which of the following is true for rats when they are fed a fat free
diet?
A. They stop growing B. They have more babies
C. They lose body hair D. They require less care
68. Linoleic fatty acid is mentioned in the passage as _____________

C. only true for women D. proven to be true by experiments in rats
READING 2. Read the passage and choose the correct answer from 71 to 80
Recent technological advances in manned and unmanned vehicles, along with breakthroughs in satellite
technology and computer equipment, have overcome some of the limitations of divers and diving
equipment for scientists doing research on the great oceans of the world. Without a vehicle, divers often
became sluggish, and their mental concentration was severely limited. Because undersea pressure affects
their speech organs, communication among divers has always been difficult or impossible. But today,
most oceanographers avoid the use of vulnerable human divers, preferring to reduce the risk to human
life and make direct observations by means of instruments that are lowered into the ocean, from samples
take from the water, or from photographs made by orbiting satellites. Direct observations of the ocean
floor can be made not only by divers but also by deep-diving submarines in the water and even by the
technology of sophisticated aerial photography from vantage points above the surface of more than
seven miles and cruise at depths of fifteen thousand feet. In addition, radio-equipped buoys can be
operated by remote control in order to transmit information back to land-based laboratories via satellite.
Particularly important for ocean study are data about water temperature, currents, and weather. Satellite
photographs can show the distribution of sea ice, oil slicks, and cloud formations over the ocean. Maps
created from satellite pictures can represent the temperature and the color of the ocean's surface,
enabling researchers to study the ocean currents from laboratories on dry land. Furthermore, computers
help oceanographers to collect, organize, and analyze data from submarines and satellites. By creating a
model of the ocean's movement and characteristics, scientists can predict the patterns and possible
effects of the ocean on the environment.
Recently, many oceanographers have been relying more on satellites and computers than on research
ships or even submarine vehicles because they can supply a greater range of information more quickly

4
and more effectively. Some of humankind's most serious problems, especially those concerning energy
and food, may be solved with the help of observations made possible by this new technology.
71.With what topic is the passage primarily concerned?
A. Communication among drivers B. Technological advances in oceanography
C. Direct observation of the ocean floor D. Undersea vehicles
72. The word "sluggish" is closest in meaning to
A. nervous B. confused C. slow moving D. very weak
73. Drives have had problems in communicating underwater because
A. the pressure affected their speech organs B. the vehicles they used have not been perfected
C. they did not pronounce clearly D. the water destroyed their speech organs
74.This passage suggests that the successful exploration of the ocean depends upon
A. the limitations of diving equipment B. radios that divers use to communicate
C. controlling currents and the weather D. vehicles as well as divers
75. Undersea vehicles ________________
A. are too small for a man to fit inside B. are very slow to respond
C. have the same limitations that divers have D. make direct observations of the ocean floor
76. The word "cruise" could best be replaced by
A. travel at a constant speed B. function without problems
C. stay in communication D. remain still
77. How is a radio-equipped buoy operated?
A. By operators inside the vehicle in the part underwater
B. By operators outside the vehicle on a ship
C. By operators outside the vehicle on a diving platform
D. By operators outside the vehicle in a laboratory on shore
78.The word information is closest in meaning to

A. The temperature of the ocean's surface B. Cloud formations over the ocean
C. A model of the ocean's movements D. The location of sea ice
