Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)

Passage 1

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:

For 20 months the wrecked Costa Concordia has been lying on its side near the coast of Giglio, a small Italian island. But on Tuesday, as part of the largest salvage ( 打捞 ) operation ever conducted, the large ship was finally moved to the upright position. The next step is for the vessel to be removed from the area entirely.

The Costa Concordia is twice the weight of the Titanic. The ship itself didn ' t budge （稍微移动) for the first three hours of the operation, Sergio Girotto told reporters. He and other engineers worked for 19 hours before Concordia was declared completely upright.

The Costa Concordia capsized on January 13, 2012, after its captain, Francesco Schettino, brought the ship too close to the shore. The ship hit coastal rocks, which caused serious damage and allowed water to pour in. (76) Most of the 4200 people on board made it to land safely, but more than 30 people were killed in the disaster. Two people remain missing. The Concordia 's captain is currently on trial for causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.

The operation to right the ship is called parbuckling. While parbuckling is a standard operation to right capsized ships, it has never before been used on such a large ship. (77) Workers had been waiting for favorable weather condition to undertake the operation. On Monday, authorities gavethe final go-ahead.

The process was expected to take no more than 12 hours. But problems with the large system of steel chains caused delays. Engineers worked through the night using cables and metal water tanks to roll the ship onto special platforms.

The Concordia is expected to be pulled away from Giglio in the spring of 2014 and turned into scrap metal (废金属). The ship's owner, Costa Cruises, will pay for the recovery, which has already cost more than $800 million.

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

(78) Would you risk your life for a country that considered you a second class citizen? Would you join a military that asked you to risk sacrificing your life but separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin? That is precisely what the Tuskegee Airmen did. They werebrave, intelligent, African-American men and women who fought for the United States in World War II.

In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt agreed to allow African Americans to fly airplanes in the military. Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops. The first African American airmen reported for duty in 1941. They began theirtraining outside of Tuskegee, Alabama. (79) The soldiers were completely separated by race and the two races could not communicate. About 450 African American pilots finished the training. These men were the original Tuskegee Airmen.

The Tuskegee Airmen had an amazing record. They did not lose any of the bombers they were escorting (护航). When the war was over in 1945, the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes. But when they returned to America, they were appalled to find out that they were still treated like second-class citizens. They faced the same segregation (种族隔离) and discrimination (歧视) as they had before they began their training.

Frederick Henry, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen, lives in Detroit, Michigan. Because he was from the North, he would often forget the segregation rules of the South. Once, Henry was on a bus alone with a white bus driver. Soon, after the two had talked for a while, a wave of other passengers came on the bus. A problem arose when some white passengers were still standing, which was against the rules. Henry was put off the bus, even though he was the first person to board the bus and had paid his fare.

One thing did change, however. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed an executive order prohibiting segregation in the military. Eventually, the Tuskegee Airmen were officially thanked fortheir amazing efforts in the war.

6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A. American Soldiers in World War II B. American Civil Rights Movement

C. The Tuskegee Airmen D. Racial Discrimination in the U. S.

7. What docs the word "appalled " in the third paragraph probably mean?

A. Reluctant. B. Pleased. C. Shocked. D. Relieved.

8. It can be inferred from the passage that Henry ________.

A. refused to give up his seat to a white passenger

B. refused to pay his bus fare

C. had a fight with the bus driver

D. was the last person to board the bus.

9. In ________, President Harry S. Truman ordered to end military segregation.

A. 1940 B. 1941 C. 1945 D. 1948

10. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the Tuskegee Airmen is TRUE?

A. In World War II, they never lost a bomber to enemy fire.

B. They were the first group of black soldiers ever trained by the ground troops.

C. They were not subjected to racial discrimination in the army.

D. They were already soldiers in the ground troops before their training at Tuskegee began.

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

Coffee is a powerful drink. On a personal level, it helps keep us awake and active. (80) On a much general level, it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.

Coffee plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were probably used by travelling tribes ( 部落) for thousands of years , but it wasn't until the 1400s that people figured out they could roast its seeds.

"Then it really took off,"said historian Mark Pendergrast-author of Uncommon Grounds: the History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World. By the 1500s, the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world Within another 150 years，it took Europe by storm."It actually had a major impact on the rise of business, " Pendergrast says. Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.

The insurance industry was founded hundreds of years ago in one of London's 2,000 coffeehouses. Literature, newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also inspired in coffeehouses.

It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when American colonists (殖民者 attacked British tea ships and threw large boxes of tea into the harbor, Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee."There's a lot of truth to the story, I found," Pendergrast says. He mentions a letter John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which the Founding Father declares his love of tea but says he will have to learn to accept coffee instead, because drinking tea had become unpatriotic (不爱国的)。

For all the upsides coffee has brought the modem world, it also brought its fair share of downsides, too. Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world, and this frequently meant they made people into slaves in order to grow it.

11. According to the passage, which of the following has nothing to do with coffee?

A. Literature. B. Newspapers.

C The insurance industry. D. The oil industry.

A. drinking coffee was unpatriotic

B. 2000 insurance companies were set up hundreds of years ago

C. Europeans were responsible for the existence of slavery

14. The phrase "took off" in the second paragraph means "______ " .

The mind-success connection is strong, and many obstacles to our success are also mental. Some people rely more on facts, 56 others rely more on feelings. There is no “right way” to be, but we all have the natural ability to “feel” our way successfully 57 an unlighted path.

I learned this 58 I was standing on a curb (路边) in a city in Vietnam (越南). My objective, a restaurant where my husband Tom was 59 for me, stood on the 60 side of the street, I was 61 and could smell the food. But it seemed as if the restaurant were miles away.

I felt as if we were gracefully swimming 73 a school of fish. The traffic flowed smoothly around us, in all directions. 74 I knew it, we were across.

思想与成功的关系是强大的，我们成功的许多障碍也是思想上的。有些人更依赖事实，而其他人更依赖感觉。没有“正确的方法”，但我们都有自然的能力，沿着黑暗的路“摸索”我们成功的路。

当我站在越南的一个城市的马路边时我明白的这个道理。我的目的地，一家餐馆，我的丈夫汤姆正站在对面等我。我饿了，闻到了食物的香味。但是餐厅却似乎好像有好几英里远。街上挤满了自行车，摩托车，汽车，卡车和公共汽车。没有划分为两车道的交通道，黄色的车道标志显然只是表明你走在铺平的道路上。人们走走停停，转身并且越过中心线。

交通在同一车道两边流过，更多的交通是从人行道上到街上。即使当信号灯变红，交通不断流动而司机完全不顾信号灯，从前后左右，各个角度冲到我面前。

我准备放弃和汤姆的午餐，这时一个地方绅士挽着我的手臂。他亲切地用英语说，“过马路是没有问题的，但要像跳舞样。“我们走下路缘，进入混乱的交通中。当我们缓缓走过时我的心跳加快。司机们不是用尖叫的喇叭和愤怒的声音来问候我们，看到我们而调向我们。只要我们没有突然的动作，我们就很好。我感觉我们好像是优雅游过的一群鱼。我们所有方向的交通都很通畅。不知不觉我们过了马路。
