Reading prehensionDirections: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just bee motherless. Her pink clothes are bloodied and her eyes stare at something only she can see. She has suffered from a bombing near her home in southern Iraq.Every day we see images like this on our televisions. We see young Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad. We see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of belongings almost the same size as their small bodies as they flee their homes in Baghdad.They represent just some of the young lives that have been turned upside down by the ongoing war. And they show the terrible price being paid by Iraqi children. “Dad, why are the Americans striking us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Sinar, an Iraqi engineer. Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son.He tries to fort him by saying: “The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. Were going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows this isnt always the truth.In southern parts of the country, like Iraqs second largest city, Basra, the United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund is working to repair the damage caused by fighting. The organization is working to provide clean water and restore electrical power, said Geoffrey Keele, a UNICEF spokesman.But little else can be done. In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to try and let them escape the sound of exploding bombs. And all the schools are closed.“All they can do is listen to and hear the war,” said Keele. “There is suffering in Baghdad. It is clear that the bombing is affecting the mental well-being of the children.”Despite UNICEFs efforts, dirty water is being blamed for cholera outbreaks in southern Iraq. Diarrhea is spreading among the children, sometimes leading to death.Nearly 50 percent of Iraqs population is under 15 years old. And 30 percent of them already suffered before the war from malnutrition, according to international aid organizations. Now the situation is worse, but continual fighting makes it impossible to count the number who are hungry, sick, injured or even dead.65 The underlined word diarrhea” in the last paragraph but two must be _A. a kind of horrendous foodB. a kind of infectious diseaseC. a new toyD. a piece of terrible news66. Parents give their children sleeping pills _.A. to get rid of the terrible sound of exploding bombsB. to help children to go to sleep because they are very tiredC. in case their children should be frightened by the sound of exploding bombsD. so that their children would not have their hearing harmed67. What is the writers attitude towards Iraqi people in this article?A. The writer loves only the children of Iraq.B. The writer wants to know more about how many people will go hungry or even die.C. The writer shows sympathy for Iraqi people. D. The writer will help Iraqi people to get over any difficulty(B) Creativity is the key to a brighter future, say education and business experts. Here is how schools and parents can encourage this important skill in children. If Dick Drew had listened to his boss in 1925, we might not have a product that we now think of as of great importance: a new type of tape. Drew worked for the Minnesota Mining pany. At work he developed a kind of material strong enough to hold things together. But his boss told him not to think more about the idea. Finally, using his own time, Drew improved the tape, which now is used everywhere by many people. And his former pany learned from its mistake. Now it encourages people to spend 15 percent of their work time just thinking about and developing new ideas. Creativity is not something one is just born with, nor is it necessarily a character of high intelligence. The fact that a person highly intelligent does not mean that he uses it creatively. Creativity is the matter of using the resources one has to produce new ideas that are good for something. Unfortunately, schools have not tried to encourage creativity. With strong attention to test results and the development of reading, writing and mathematical skills, many educators give up creativity for correct answers. The result is that children can give back information but can not recognize ways to use it in new situations. They may know the rules correctly, but they are unable to use them to work out practical problems. It is important to give children choices. From the earliest age, children should be allowed to make decisions and understand their results. Even if its choosing between two food items for lunch, decision-making helps thinking skills. As children grow older, parents should let their children decide how to use their time or spend their money, but not help them too much if they make the wrong decision. The child may have a hard time, but that is all right. This is because the most important character of creative people is a very strong desire to find a way out of trouble.68. What did the pany where Drew once worked learn from its mistake?A. They encouraged people to work a longer time.B. They discouraged people from thinking freely.C. They asked people to spend all their work time developing new ideas.D. They encouraged people to spend some of their work time considering and improving new ideas.69Creativity is something _.A. that people are born withB. that depends on intelligenceC. that is a way of using what one has learned to work out new problemsD. that is not important at all70. What should the parents do when their children decide how to spend their money?A. Try to help them as much as possible.B. Take no notice of whatever they do.C. Help them if their decision is wrong but not too much.D. Leave them as they are.71. This passage mainly deals with the question of _.A. what is the key to a brighter futureB. what creativity isC. how schools and parents can encourage creativity in childrenD. whether schools and parents should allow children to make choices and decisions (C) Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants bee annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers (阴沟) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.72. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.73.Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _.A. a bad impact on other industriesB. a change of tourists customsC. ove
