Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)Animals perform many useful and entertaining jobs. Dogs are particularly valuable in guiding the blind (a trained dog can learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if his master command him to do so), protecting property, finding lost people, and bunting criminals. Horses are used in guarding herds, carrying men in lands where there are no roads, and helping farmers work their land. Pigeons have long been used to carry message. Wild animals from the jungles, forests and seas are very popular performers in circuses and moving pictures. People realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.
The first thing a dog is taught is to obey . It should not take too long for him to learn commands. Simple orders, such as "sit, lie down, stay there, come here," can even be taught by a child.
Training a dog to be watchdog often produces unexpected results. Some dogs quickly learn the difference between unwanted people and friends. This is because their masters welcome friends and invite them into their houses. However, some dogs will always attack the postmen who comes to deliver letters. One explanation for this behavior is that although the postman comes to the house often, he never enters the house. Therefore, the dog thinks the postman is someone who is not wanted, but keeps coming back anyway.
Masters of dogs who attack postman can easily show the dog that the postman is a friend and that the dog does not need to treat him as an unwanted person. A dog is quite ready to do what his master wishes. And a dog is always happy when he is praised for understanding correctly.

A. he gets a good piece of meat
B. he gets praise from his master

A. to obey all orders
B. to obey only safe orders
C. never to cross busy road

18. Which of the following shows training a watchdog often bring about unexpected result?
A. Some dogs attack guests.

19. Some dogs always attack the postman, because ________.
A. they don't know the postman are friends
B. the dogs are not the watchdogs
C. the postman never enters the house
D. the dog's masters never welcome the postman
20. Sometimes dogs can ________.
A. send mails B. help the blind
C. find lost purse D. help drive a car
Passage 2In 1933 little had changed in the everyday lives of the vast majority of rural Tennessee Valley people since the turn of the century. Electricity was known on only three farms in a hundred. Light came from a kerosene (煤油) lamp, refrigeration from a cool spring or cellar, and heat from a fireplace or wood-burning stove.
The simple act of getting water required back-breaking labor. The family with a good spring near the back door was fortunate indeed. Hand-dug wells provided water for many families. Buckets or tubes had to be lowered to the bottom of the well, 30, 40, or 50 feet down, and the water pulled to the surface by rope. Monday was washday, and a busy day it was. Gallons of water had to be carried from the closest source, often a nearby stream. Fire was made under a cast-iron pot to boil the clothes, which were then scrubbed and rinsed（清洗）by hand before being hung out to dry. The warm, soapy water left over was used to wash the spring house, outdoor toilet, animal quarters, or anything else needing a good cleaning. The rinse water was used on the flowers. Nothing so hard obtained was wasted.
Every member of the family, young and old, had work to do. Women were responsible for most of the chores around the house. During peak planting and harvesting seasons, they also joined their husbands and sons in the fields. The well-off and the poor shared in common many of the same chores.
21. According to the passage, only three percent of families had ________.
A. running water B. refrigerators
C. electric lamps D. bathrooms
22. For many families getting water was ________.
A. helped by government aid

A. gardening B. the toilet C. floors D. automobile
24. Women were responsible for ________.
A. the work in the fields during busy seasons
B. most of housework during harvesting seasons
C. both house work and farming during busy seasons
D. the hard work in the field all the year round
25. "The well-off and the poor shared in common many of the same chores" means ________.
A. "The poor had to do more everyday tasks"
B. "Both the rich and the poor had to do the most difficult work"
C. "Only the poor had to do as many of the same chores"
D. "Both the rich and the poor had to do as many of the same everyday tasks"
Passage 3Before going to Moscow I had heard about consumer shortages. But only when we began to shop there did the Russian consumer's problems really have meaning for me. Customers over the world wait in lines, but Soviet lines have a special quality all their own. Typically the Soviet woman spends two hours a day in line, seven days a week. Personally, I have known of people who stood in line 90 minutes to buy four pineapples, and 3 hours to buy three large heads of cabbage, only to find the cabbages were gone as they approached the front of the line. Lines can run from a few yards to nearly a mile. Some friends of ours watched a line of people in Moscow signing up to buy rugs. The line lasted two days and nights and ran four across all through an apartment development.
In spite of all of this, the natural reaction of a Russian woman when she sees a line forming is to get in it immediately even before she knows what is being sold. However, Soviet lines are more fluid than they appear. In most stores, for example, shoppers must stand in not one but three lines for any purchase—the first, to select a purchase and find out its price; the second, to pay a cashier somewhere else in the store and get a receipt; and the third, to go to pick up purchase and turn in the receipt.
26. The first paragraph of this passage discusses ________.
A. general qualities of shopping lines around the world
B. the length of time it takes to buy cabbages and pineapples
C. the special qualities of shopping lines in the Soviet Union
D. the reasons why the Soviet people have to stand in line for any purchases
27. Typically the Soviet woman takes ________.
A. seven hours a day in line, seven days a week
B. seven hours a day in line, two days a week
C. two hours a day in line, two days a week
D. two hours a day in line, seven days a week
28. "Soviet lines are more fluid than they appear." means ________.
A. Soviet lines are more flexible than they appear
B. Soviet lines are more watery than they appear
C. Soviet lines are more usual than they appear
D. Soviet lines are longer than they appear
29. The natural reaction of a Russian woman when she sees a line forming is ________.
A. to get in the line immediately
B. to judge how many people there are
C. to go home to ask for help
D. to know what is being sold
30. Shopping in the Soviet Union is ________.
A. very complicated B. amusing C. pleasant D. well-organized
Passage 4It is not known how many workers have died from complications caused by byssinosis or even the number now suffering from the disease, but estimates indicate that the victims run into the thousands. One federal estimate is that 230 000 mill（纺织）workers are exposed to conditions that might result in the disease. In some areas of cotton mills, such as the rooms where packs of raw cotton are opened or the cotton is cleaned and carded, 20 per cent or more of the workers have byssinosis, according to the federal figures.
But the changes are slow in coming. A few textile companies, among them Cone Mills and Burlington Industries, Inc., the largest textile firm in the United States, have started medical programs for their mill workers and are attempting to reduce dust levels in some locations. But many other companies are holding back, waiting to see what the law will require them to do.
It will be up to the federal government, through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, to set permissible levels for cotton dust in the air. The agency, whose job is to set and enforce health standards for American workers, has been promising a cotton dust standard for several years, but still has not come up with one. However, OSHA's research arm has recommended that a tough standard of 0.2 of a milligram of dust be accepted.
31. How many workers have been suffering the disease—byssinosis?
A. More than 2 000. B. Less than 1 000.
C. 230 000. D. 23 000.

A. are avoiding taking any action unless the law will ask them to do

D. are immediately taking action
34. "It will be up to the federal government" means that ________.
A. it will have reached the highest level of government
B. the next in line will be the federal government
