　　Section III Reading Comprehension

　　(50 minutes)

　　Part A：Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

　　Text 1

　　Today TV audiences all over the world are accustomed to the sight of American astronauts in tip-top condition, with fair hair, crew-cuts, good teeth, an uncomplicated sense of humour and a severely limited non-technical vocabulary.

　　What marks out an astronaut from his earthbound fellow human beings is something of a difficult problem.Should you wish to interview him, you must apply beforehand, and you must be prepared for a longish wait, even ifyour application meets with success. It is, in any case, out of the question to interview an astronaut about his familylife or personal activities, Because all the astronauts have contracts with an American magazine under conditions for-bidding any unauthorized disclosures about their private lives.

　　Certain obvious qualities are needed. Anyone who would be a spaceman must be in perfect health, must havepowers of concentration( since work inside a spacecraft is exceptionally demanding)and must have considerable cour-age. Again, space-work calls for dedication. Courage and dedication are particularly essential. In the well-knowncase of the Challenger seven crew members lost their lives in space because of the faulty equipment in the shuttle.Another must be outstanding scientific expertise. It goes without saying that they all have to have professional aero-nautical qualifications and experience.

　　A striking feature of the astronauts is their ages. For the younger man, in his twenties, say, space is out. Onlyone of the fifty men working for NASA in 1970 was under 30. The oldest astronaut to date is Alan Shepard,America's first man in space, who, at nearly fifty, was also the man who captained Apollo 13. The average age isthe late thirties. The crew members of Apollo 11 were all born well before the Second World War. In 1986 the Chal-lenger astronauts had an average age of 39. The range was from 35 to 46.

　　In a society where marital continuity is not always exhibited, the astronauts' record in this respect hits you in theeye. Of all the married men in NASA group, only two or three are divorced from their wives. Mind you, it is hardto tell whether something in the basic character of an astronaut encourages fidelity or whether the selection processdemands that a candidate should be happily married.

　　The NASA astronauts live in unattractive small communities dotted here and there around the base in Texas.You would expect them to f'md their friends from among their professional associates, But this is not the case. Rath-er, they prefer to make friends with the normal folk in their districts. Astronauts, like everybody else, must get fedup with talking shop all the time, and whereas they are indeed an elite, their daily life outside work should be as nor-mal as possible, if only for the sake of their families.

　　As for the astronauts' political leanings, they seem to be towards the right. This may be due to the fact that a large proportion of the astronauts have a military background. On the other hand, it could be just coincidence.

　　51. Details of the private life of an astronaut are hard to come by, Because they are __________

　　[A] his own business and privacy

　　[B] secrets as far as interviews are concerned

　　[C] the property of an American magazine

　　[D] the first-rate national confidential information

　　52. To audience, the typical American astronaut __________

　　[A] has a limited vocabulary

　　[B] is a clean-cut, cheerful and frank guy

　　[C] can't understand a sophisticated joke

　　[D] is well-built but rather slow-witted

　　53. In politics, astronauts are generally__________

　　[A] democrats

　　[a] republicans

　　[C] conservatives

　　[D] communists

　　54. The phrase" talking shop" ( Line 4, Para. 6 ) probably means __________

　　[A] talking about shopping

　　[B] discussing one's work with colleagues

　　[C] exchanging personal news

　　[D] talking with friends in a group

　　55. Which of the statements is NOT true?

　　[A] Astronauts have a good job which demands high.

　　[B] The divorce rate in NASA is very low.

　　[C] The NASA astronauts mostly find friends from among their work.

　　[D] There is no younger man in his twenties in the spaceship.

　　答案及解析

　　31.purpose 【解析】從文中的第一句話(huà)“The most obvious purpose…”可以看出后面還有別的目的，而不是僅僅有最明顯的目的。故答案為purpose。

　　32.first 【解析】根據(jù)題意，作者想在這里做一個(gè)比較，而比較的對(duì)象是目的。這里作者僅僅給出了兩個(gè)目的，所以這里是和第一個(gè)目的進(jìn)行比較。故答案為first。

　　33.production【解析】從前一句話(huà)“The manufacturers go beyond only telling consumers about their products.”可以看出，一方面廣告要介紹自己的產(chǎn)品，而第二個(gè)目的就是賣(mài)掉自己的產(chǎn)品。所以這里作者想要表達(dá)的意思是“廣告要使得顧客有一種購(gòu)買(mǎi)的欲望去購(gòu)買(mǎi)自己的產(chǎn)品。”故答案為production。

　　34.for 【解析】解析見(jiàn)上題。desire后面用介詞for。故答案為for，表示“…的欲望”。

　　35.bought 【解析】本句的前一句話(huà)說(shuō)“顧客認(rèn)為他們需要一些他們其實(shí)不需要的商品。”這就是廣告的作用。但是買(mǎi)完之后，“他們卻不知道當(dāng)時(shí)為什么買(mǎi)了這種商品。”這里是被動(dòng)的句式。故答案為bought。

　　36.though 【解析】本句話(huà)的意思是“盡管知道顧客們可能不知道自己為什么買(mǎi)了這些商品，但是賣(mài)家卻知道怎么去做。”故答案為though.

　　37.do 【解析】解析見(jiàn)上題，為了避免與前面的know重復(fù)，這里可以換做do。故答案為do。

　　38.selling 【解析】關(guān)鍵是看and后面的buying。本句話(huà)的意思是“商家分析市場(chǎng)的供需情況。”故答案為selling。

　　39.some 【解析】關(guān)鍵是注意and前后一致。“some rational and…emotional”，前面說(shuō)促使顧客購(gòu)買(mǎi)的動(dòng)機(jī)有很多，有的是理性的，有的卻是沖動(dòng)。所以這里應(yīng)該是some。故答案為some.

　　40.knowledge【解析】前面講商家正確地分析市場(chǎng)的供需信息，知道是什么因素影響顧客的購(gòu)買(mǎi)欲望。這就是他們利用的信息知識(shí)。故答案為knowledge。

　　41.are 【解析】分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)，這里缺少系動(dòng)詞be來(lái)構(gòu)成動(dòng)詞的被動(dòng)形式。故答案為are。

　　42.reasons 【解析】本段的第一句話(huà)提出問(wèn)題，問(wèn)為什么在結(jié)算處擺設(shè)了那么多的商品。很明顯，后面的文章對(duì)這個(gè)問(wèn)題進(jìn)行回答。并列舉了原因。故答案為reasons。

　　43.ready 【解析】顧客來(lái)到結(jié)算處，說(shuō)明他們準(zhǔn)備好了要付賬。Be ready to的意思是“準(zhǔn)備好了做某事”。故答案為ready。

　　44.on 【解析】“…的決定”英語(yǔ)表達(dá)為“decision on sth.”這里介詞需要用0n。故答案為On。

　　45.customer 【解析】從這個(gè)句子的賓語(yǔ)“…that he or she has done a good job of choosing the items.”可以看出，這里說(shuō)的是顧客的行為，他們認(rèn)為自己買(mǎi)這些商品是很理性的。故答案為customer。

　　4.6.display 【解析】這里要回應(yīng)本段第一句話(huà)中的“displayed”。在出口結(jié)算處展示的這些小商品無(wú)疑是一種誘惑。這里需要用名詞形式。故答案為display。

　　47.rational 【解析】從文章的后面可以知道，顧客們已經(jīng)要結(jié)算了，認(rèn)為都買(mǎi)了該買(mǎi)的商品。但是售貨員在他們等著付賬的過(guò)程中巧妙地利用顧客們的購(gòu)物沖動(dòng)向他們推銷(xiāo)，而不是理性購(gòu)物。故答案為rational。

　　48.some 【解析】這里需要填寫(xiě)的是商品的名稱(chēng)，就是說(shuō)擺在出口結(jié)算處的那些小商品。泛指時(shí)用some。故答案為some。

　　49.what 【解析】這句話(huà)的意思是“這就是商家和賣(mài)者希望顧客們做的事情”，what引導(dǎo)的是一個(gè)表語(yǔ)從句，故答案為what。

　　50.do 【解析】分析見(jiàn)上題。故答案為do。
