Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension(30 points, 2 points for each item)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，将相应的字母填在答题纸上的相应位置上。
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Pigs, fishponds and crops-all housed in tall buildings. This is a vision of industrial farming in the Netherlands(荷兰). In a world concerned about the environment and transport, would it not make sense to concentrate food production next to a harbor and an airport? And since humans can live in tall buildings, why not pigs and fish?
The creative minds behind a government report suggest just this for a site at Rotterdam(鹿特丹) very close to mainland Europe's largest port.
The scale is vast: imagine 10 football fields, six floors of equal area, at total of 500 acres(英亩) stretching skywards. The building, known as Deltapark, visualizes 300,000 pigs, 1. 2 million chickens, tens of thousands of fish and a giant vegetable growing area all under one roof. The pigs could enjoy more space than on an average pig farm, and end their days in the slaughterhouse downstairs. Space without daylight in the giant building could be used for cultivating mushrooms(蘑菇) which grow well in the dark.
Higher up, greenhouses full of tomatoes and flowers, grown in nutrient solutions collected from elsewhere in the building, would profit from the light. The system is theoretically a complete farming cycle, with one activity feeding another and everything being recycled.
Deltapark is to be run by managers, not farmers. It has nothing to do with agriculture as we now know it, and so far, only exists on paper. But the idea has created a heated debate in the Netherlands and attracted attention abroad.
21. According to the passage, a multi-story farm ______ in the Netherlands.
A. is under construction
B. is about to be put to use
C. has been proposed
D. might cause severe criticism
22. According to the report, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Deltapark occupies an area of 10 football fields.
B. Deltapark has a floor space of 500 acres.
C. Deltapark has six floors.
D. Deltapark is on a steep slope.
23. What is the meaning of "slaughterhouse" in Line 5, Paragraph 3?
A. A house where animals are fed.
B. A house where animals are kept in the daytime.
C. A place where animals stay for the night.
D. A place where animals are killed for food.
24. It is supposed in Paragraph 4 that ______.
A. the flowers would be nourished by liquids gathered outside the building
B. the tomatoes and flowers would benefit from daylight
C. the vegetable growing area would be lit by electric lights
D. the system would be far from self-sufficient in production
25. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Farm of the Future?
B. Animal Farm?
C. Field of Your Dreams?
D. Animal Farm or Vegetable Farm?
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
A few years ago I was shopping with a friend and his 12-year-old daughter in downtown San Francisco. A street musician, whom my friend happened to know from his own musician days, was playing the saxophone(萨克斯管) on a street corner. His name was Clifford, and he had attracted a large crowd with his performance. After he finished, my friend introduced him to me and his daughter. Clifford asked her if she played any instrument. When she replied that she was taking trumpet(小号) lessons and played in her junior high school band, he said, "That's fine, little lady. Learn your instrument well and you can play anything. "
Somehow these simple yet wise words struck me as appropriate not only for a trumpet player but also for a reader. If you learn to read well, you can read anything you want-not just newspapers and magazines, but more difficult material like philosophy, file criticism, military history-whatever interests you as your confidence grows. You would not be limited in any way. If you have the vocabulary-or at least a good dictionary near at hand-you can pick up a book, concentrate on it, and make sense of the author's words.
In the United States, reading instruction often ends at elementary school, so students sometimes have difficulty as they progress through school. They must take their assignments armed only with their elementary school reading skills. The result, too often, is frustration and loss of confidence. And the assigned reading in your college courses will be even greater than they were in high school. Developing Reading Skills is designed to accomplish several tasks : to show you the skills that will enable you to read with greater comprehension, to help you cope with reading assignments with confidence, and to teach you to become an active reader.
26. The author develops his point by starting with ______.
A. an example B. an incident
C. a statement D. a contrast
27. Which of the following statements is implied in Paragraph 1?
A. Clifford was good at playing the saxophone.
B. The author's friend was once a street musician.
C. The 12-year-old girl played the trumpet very poorly.
D. Clifford was a good music teacher.
