Part I. Reading Comprehension(40%)
Passage One
Did you know that the empty plastic soft drink bottles you throw away every day can be turned into carpet or automobile parts ?
That used glass bottles and aluminum cans can be turned into new ones?
And that yesterday’s newspaper can be turned into tomorrow’s ?
It all happens because of recycling simple waste we throw away is a “natural resource” that , with recycling, can be used to produce a variety of mew products.
Unfortunately, America recycles only 10% of its rubbish ,burns 10% and deposits (存放)80% in waste disposal grounds. As a result , it has to cope with a serious solid waste problem.
Every year, Americans throw away about 160 million tons of rubbish. Of that total, plastics make up less than 8% , paper about 36% , and glass and metal about 20% , all by weight . Plastics are naturally lighter, but still, when pressed together, account for only about 20% by volume(体积).
As a result, in the past 10 years the United States’ waste disposal grounds have decreased from about 18, 500 to 6,000. In five years 2,000 more will close.
In the process of finding solutions, some people have proposed to stop using plastics.
Unfortunately, stopping using plastics would do much harm and no good. We would lose all of the safety, health and convenience features of plastics.
Besides, packaging(包装) would still be needed. A1987 study shows what would happen if plastics were not used---the energy needed to produce other packaging, its cost, and the volume of waste collected would all rise greatly.
Some Americans believe part of the answer to America’s waste problem lies in recycling everything from glass to metals to paper to plastic.
Today, recycling is on the rise. There are now more than 1,000 waste recycling programs in the U. S. Many are beginning to recycle plastics.
Right now, almost 200 companies are recycling millions of used plastic containers into toys, traffic signs, wastebaskets, floor materials, and park benches.
Plastics are among the easiest materials to recycle. More than 150 million pounds or 20% of all plastic soft drink bottles were recycled in 1987.

Passage Two
Sleep is something we generally associate with living persons or animals. Of course, it is true that a lot of animals sleep, but zoologists are not certain that primitive forms of animals’ life, like worms, ever really sleep. On the other hand animals such as bears sleep for 4 or 5 months every year.
The amount of sleep human beings need varies with people of different ages, habits and possible races. For example, doctors think that pre-school children need between 10 and 12 hours a night; school children between 9 and 11 hours; and adults between 7 and 9 hours. There are rare cases of old people who only sleep between 2 and 3 hours a day and continue to be active and healthy. The sleep requirements of different races also appear to be different. Japanese people, for example, sleep fewer than Europeans.
It is not known for certain if the activity of a man’s mind (besides dreaming) occurs when he is asleep. However, it is certainly true that some people can wake up at a pre-determined time. There are also stories about some maths professors who solve difficult problems during sleep, because their subconscious minds continue working on the problem.

A. how many hours of sleep different people need every day
B. some kinds of dreams people have
C. how to make use of man’s subconscious minds
D. sleep and the activity of a man’s mind during his sleep

A. the activity of a man’s mind occurs when he is asleep
B. human beings can control the amount of sleep they need
C. some primitive forms of animal life also sleep
D. some people can solve some problems in dreams
Passage Three
Why don’t birds get lost on their long flights from one place to another? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blank.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.
A dove had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. And change in the position of the artificial stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.
But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation. When the stars are hidden by clouds, they apparently find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the doves circle helplessly, unable to find their way.
reason that birds don’t get lost on long flights ____.
A. have been known to scientists for years B. have only recently been discovered
C. are known by everyone D. will probably remain a mystery
ng daylight hours, birds ____.
A. fly aimlessly B. rely on landmarks
C. use sun for guidance D. are more likely to get lost
“his outdoor cousins” the author means ____.
A. other experimenters B. the other doves of the same brood
C. doves under the natural skyD. other birds in general
experiment with the dove indicated that ____.
A. birds have to be taught to navigate
B. a bird that has been caged will not fly long distances
C. some birds cannot fly at night
D. some birds seem to follow the stars when they fly at night
total darkness, doves ____.
A. use landmarksB. don’t know which way to fly
C. fly back home D. wait for the stars to appear
Passage Four
I had not announced my arrival to Stroeve and when I rang the bell of his studio, on opening the door himself, for a moment he did not know me, Then he gave a cry of delighted surprise and drew me in. It was charming to be welcomed with so much eagerness. His wife was seated near the stove at her sewing and she rose as I came in. He introduced me.
He had the same absurd ( 令人发笑的) appearance that I remembered. He was a fat little man, with short legs, young still ( he could not have been more than thirty ) but prematurely bald ( 过早秃顶) . His face was perfectly round and he had a very high color, a white skin, red cheeks and red lips. His eyes were blue and round too, he wore large gold-rimmed glasses and his eyebrows were so fair that you could not see them. He reminded you of those happy, fat businessmen that Rubens painted.
Mrs. Stroeve sat quietly mending her stockings, without talking, and she listened to all he said with a quiet smile on her lips.
“So, you see, I’m married,” he said suddenly; “what do you think of my wife?”
“Really, Dirk,” said Mrs Stroeve, smiling.
