Part III Reading Comprehension （共 8题，每题 2.5 分，共 20 分）

Passage 1: Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage.

For centuries Dutch engineers have been fighting a war against water. Their main enemy

is the sea. A large part of the country is below sea level. In fact, Holland is also called the

“Netherlands” which means “low land.” Very tall and strong walls, called dykes, have built to

keep out the sea. But in very rough weather the sea may suddenly burst through a dyke. Great

damage can be caused by floods when this happens.

Three large rivers are also part of the problem. These rivers are the Rhine, the Maas and

the Scheldt. They flow through Holland into the North Sea. They have cut many passages

across the country. At low tides, the rivers flow into the sea as usual. But at high tide, the sea

can flow into the rivers! This is because the land is so low.

The battles against the water never end, but they have made Holland a bigger and bigger

country. In order to prevent floods, the engineers take or reclaim land that was under water.

The Dutch have been reclaiming land for seven hundred years.

Land is usually reclaimed from a passage between islands. Two dykes are built across the

passage, so they block the water between them. Then the engineers dig long canals and pump

the water into them. At low tide, the canals empty the water into the sea.

Because the land is so low, water from the sea and rivers can rise up through the ground.

For this reason, the pumps continue working even the land has been drained (that is, when the

water has been pumped away). The dykes contain gates, and through these the water is

pumped out. In many parts of Holland, pumps must be working all the time. If they stopped,

there will be very bad floods.

41. Water is the main threat to Holland because ____.

A. the sea is too rough

B. the land is lower than the sea

C. the high and strong dykes can not keep the floods out

D. the weather is too rough

42. Holland is threatened not only by the sea, but also by ____.

A. the floods from broken dykes

B. the three rivers

C. the sea tides

D. many passages the three rivers have cut across the country

43. The Holland claim land from the sea in order to ____.

A. prevent floods B. make their country larger

C. make their country more beautiful D. have more farmland

44. If pumps stop working there will be very bad floods because _____.

A. the water will run back at high tide

B. the sea may break the dykes in rough weather

C. the battle against water will never end

D. the land is too low and water can rise up through the drained land

答案：BBAD

Passage 2: Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage.

The city has always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century cafes of London,

where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern

Paris, where Picasso talked about modem art. Without the metropolis, we might not have had

the great art of Shakespeare.

And yet, city life isn’t easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the

brain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found,

impairs (损害) our basic mental processes. After spending a few minutes on a crowded city

street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control.

While it’s long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that

cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.

One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial

for the brain. Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more

quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing

are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn. Even these glimpses of nature

improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.

This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone (里程碑). For the first time

in history, the majority of people live in cities. Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we’re

crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of strangers. In recent years,

it’s become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental

and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.

45. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?

A. The city inspires talented people.

B. The city hurts your brain.

C. The city has many pleasures and benefits.

D. The city seriously affects the natural balance.

46. The word “metropolis” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to_______.

A. citizen B. nature C. city D. stress

47. People have just come to realize that_______.

A. human attention is a scarce resource

B. city life can make people very tired

C. the city is an engine of intellectual life

D. an urban environment is damaging to the brain

48. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Different aspects (方面) of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to

an increase in self-control.

B. Small changes in urban design cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.

C. For the first time in history, the earth’s population is more urban than rural.

D. A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.

答案：BCDC
