Part II Reading Comprehension (40 Points)
Directions There are 4 passages in this part Each o f the passages is followed by 5questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are 4 choices marked A B C and D Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET
Passage One
A few centuries ago people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky About 500 years ago some people dreamed a different dream Instead of flying up to the sky they dreamed of falling from the sky
In the 15 th century Italian inventors designed a coneshaped( 锥形 ) device that was supposed
to bring a man down safely from a great height The operator held on to a handle with a straps strapped to his waist This was the first known design for a parachute ( 降落伞 )
Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute His parachute design
was in the shape of pyramid( 金字塔 ) Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a
parachute Unfortunately these were only designs on paper and no one tested them
A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci ’s parachute design
and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship When Veranzio was 65years old he fell ill Thinking he would not live longer he decided to try out his parachute invention He built his parachute using wood and cloth Straping his invention to his waist he
jumped off the tall bell tower in his city He landed safely He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute However some other people thought this story was not true If that was the case then the first person to successfully use a parachute would go to a Frenchman named LouisSebastien Lenormand in 1783
16 The first known parachute was designed by ______
A Frenchman B Italian
C Croatians D Englishmen
17 Leonardo da Vinci ’s parachute was shaped like a ______

D we don ’tknow for sure yet

20 The passage is mainly about ______ A the origin of the parachute
BThe dreams of flying and falling
C the courage of dropping from the sky
D the application of parachute invention
Passage Two
Out of all the students who enroll in a massive open online course(MOOC) only about 5
percent complete the course and receive a certificate accomplishment This statistic is often cited
as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed( 缺陷 )and offer little educational value to most
students Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a postcourse survey say they met their
primary objective How do we look at these two facts
We’ re used to focusing on completion rates in higher education but they or ’ re not the only
even the most meaningful –indicator of engagement in open online courses With no cost to enroll no punishment for dropping out and little reward for actually earning a certificate MOOCs are fundamentally different from traditional calssess – and students use them in fundamentally different ways
Data from more than 18 million students erolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of
Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs like a buffet ( 助餐 ) sampling the material according to their interests and career goals Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peers around the world Of all enrolled students nearly 60 percent watch at least one vedio complete at least one assignment or post at least once in a forum
So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOCC is misguided
The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions
21 What do we learn about MOOCs from Para1
A There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs
B It turns out that MOOCs have failed people ’ s expectations
C Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOcs
D The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged
22 In Para2 the author stresses ______
A the primary objective of MOOC students
B the significance of competion rates in education
C the strengths and weakness of open online courses
D the differences between MOOCc and trditional classes
23 According to Para 3 students choose MOOCs for the following reasons EXCEPT ______
A earning a certificate
B improving jobrelated skills
4
C meeting their interest in the subjects
D exchanging ideas with students worldwide
24 The sentence students treat MOOCs as a buffet (Para3) ______
A emphasizes the core value of MOCCs
B demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCs
C indicates students are free to choose MOOC resources
D explains what students learn from MOOC courses
25 What is the author ’ s attitude toward MOOCs
A Critical B Supportive C Indifferent D Neutral

expecting the outdoor world can be inspiring thrilling and deeply satisfying And one of the best
ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple inexpensive and available to
almost every one Let ’ s go camping

of fency equipment to enjoy camping What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family

Passage Four
Every country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists major criminals or even from other countries People who threaten to harm a country always plot
in secret so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned
before it happens so that it can be prevented They do that in many different ways –by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone by planting microphongs to overhear meetings by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on
For most of my career I worked in one of the UK’ sthree intelligence services MIS the
domestic security service I first joined in the 1970s in the middle of the Gold War when the war was divided into two armed camps the Soviet Union( 苏联 ) and its allies on the one side and
Western Europe America and their allies on the other The Gold War never became a fighting war It was an intelligence war with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing what kind of weapons they had when and if they might start a war and what
their plans were Both sides were secretly working in each other ’ s countries
Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world comes from terrorists Intelligence officers
from many differenct countries are working together to find out who they are where they are and
what they are planning Today ’ s MIS officers get their intelligence in much the same way as we
did during the Gold War but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists
want to kill people Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen and we
never know anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them
