Reading ComprehensionDirections:Read the following passages.

She has been rushed to hospital, he said.It was very misty when we came here, and the visibility was extremely low. This could be the reason for the crash, he said.Bharadwaj said there was no senior official on the plane.

These rules are contained in books. A lawyer learns them mainly by reading books.He begins by doing little else than read, and after he has prepared himself by, say, three years study to practise, still, all his life long and almost every day, he will be looking into books to read a little more than he already knows about some new question which he has to answer.The power to use books, then, is a talent which the would-be lawyer ought to possess. He ought to have enough flexibility and fineness of mental fibre to make it easy for him to collect ideas from printed words. He ought to have some readiness in finding what a book contains, and something of an instinct for where to look for what he wants.But although this is the power of which he will first feel the need, it is not the most important. A lawyer does not study law to recite it; he studies it to use it and act upon the rules which he has learned in real life. His business is to try cases in court and to advise men what to do in order to keep out or get out of trouble. He studies his books in order to advise and to try his cases in the right way.74.The passage tells us the first thing a law student has to do is to _.A. practise lawB. read booksC. hand over moneyD. answer questions75.After three years of reading _.A. he can stop readingB. he can study lawC. he still has to continue readingD. he is able to give intelligent answers76.The principal business of a lawyer is _.A. to advise people who have legal troubleB. to discuss the material he has readC. to learn about real lifeD. to study the law only77.From this passage we get the idea that a good lawyer should know how to _.A. be powerfulB. collect ideasC. be flexible in all thingsD. analyze and interpret what he reads(C)When American students graduate from college, they must find jobs for themselves. But often they get help from their college and university. Every college has a career counseling office. The people who work there help students learn about different kinds of jobs and the chances for employment. Students can discuss their first year of college. Some use the information a counselor gives themwhen deciding what subjects to study.For example, a girl student wants to be an engineer, but she does not know what kind. The counselor can tell the girl that, when she graduates in four years, there will be more jobs for structural engineers than for chemical engineers. Therefore, the student may study structural engineering.The career counseling office also communicates with local and national companies. Company officials often visit the university to talk to students who want to work for them. The career counseling offices arrange these meeting for the company and the students. They also have classes for students. They teach the students how to find a job such as what to say to company officials and how to write letters telling about themselves.Experts say that American students who are employed when they finish college usually find jobs in their own field of study. Those who must search for months after graduation usually take lower paid jobs, and their jobs are not connected to what they studied in college. The experts foretell that in coming years there will be more jobs for health workers, financial experts, teachers and computer scientists.78.According to the passage, a career counselor _.A. helps students pass the examinations successfullyB. helps student find well-paid jobsC. provides students with information about various opportunitiesD. helps students find full-time jobs79.A career counseling office does all the following jobs except _.A. providing jobs for college graduatesB. communicating with local and notional companiesC. arranging meetings between company officials and students who what to work for themD. teaching students special skills80.Those who spend months hunting jobs after graduation usually _.A. can find well-paid jobsB. have to take part-time jobsC. can find lower paid jobs in their own field of studyD. cant find jobs in their own field of study81.Whats the best title for this passage?A.

Tradition has it that Leonardo da Vinci worked for ten years upon the painting, the monks in the church annoyed at the delay. It was said that Leonardo often painted continuously from dawn to night without eating his meals. But at other times he spent hours before the picture, lost in contemplation, examining, comparing, and measuring his figures.This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior, the head of the church, who belonged to the large group of those who believe that the busier a man seems, the more he accomplishes; and so he tried to find fault with the idle painter. Leonardo was slightly unhappy and explained to somebody else that there was a great difference between the work of the creative artist and the stonemason. The creative artist needs time for contemplation; he may be busiest when his hands are idlest. Just now he needed two heads to complete the picture; that of Christ, for which no model on earth could be found, for where was the man to be found whose face would express the strength, and beauty, and tenderness, and deep sorrow of the Christ; then he also needed a head of Judas, and that was hard to find as well, for where was the man whose face could express the meanness of that base traitor. But he would look no further; if none came his way, he would be satisfied to take the Prior as a model for Judas. This threat silenced the angry Prior, who quite naturally had no desire to pass to descendants in such a fashion.82.Why did the Prior complain about the delay?A. Because he thought that the painter idled most of the hours.B. Because he knew that genius might be busiest when seemingly idlest.C. Because he liked the work of a stonemason.D. Because he was eager to be taken as a model for Judas. 83.What does contemplation in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 mean?A. Possibility.B. Intention.C. Deep thought.D. Expectation.84.Which of the following is TRUE?A. The painter was pleased with the Priors complaint.B. Neither Christ nor Judas was easy to paint.C. The painter took one of the monks as a model for Christ.D. The painter took one of the monks as a model for Judas.85.Which of the following is NOT true?A. Leonardo took the fussy Pri
