四、阅读理解 （30%）

A

Every language has its own special words and expressions. And a story can be told about each of them. “Hot” is a simple, easily-understood word. So are most of the expressions made with the word “hot”. But not always, as we shall see.

Take the phrase “hot potato” for example. The potato is a popular vegetable in the United States. Many people like baked potatoes, cooked in an oven or fire. Imagine trying to carry a hot, baked potato in your hand. It would be difficult, even painful, to do so. One such hot potato is taxes. Calling for higher taxes can mean defeat for a politician. And yet, if taxes are not raised, some very popular government programs could be cut, which can also make a politician very unpopular.

Another expression is “not so hot”. If you ask someone how she feels, she may answer: "Not so hot." What she means is that she does not feel well. “Not so hot” is also a way of saying that you do not really like something.

“A hot shot” is a person, often a young person, who thinks he can do anything. At least he wants to try. He is very sure he can succeed. But often he fails. The expression came from the army. A hot shot was a soldier who fired without aiming carefully.

A person who becomes angry easily is called “a hothead”. An angry person's neck often becomes red. We say he is “hot under the collar”. You could say that your friend is no hothead. But he got hot under the collar when someone took his radio.

The hot line was a direct communication link between the leaders of the Soviet Union and the United States. The hot line had an important purpose: to prevent accidental war between the two competitors during the period known as the Cold War. The American president and the Soviet leader were able to communicate directly and immediately on the hot line.

56. If you describe something as a hot potato, it _____.

A. is very popular

B. has a high temperature

C. is very difficult to deal with

D. can’t be held in your hand

57. According to the text, which of the following statements is not true?

A. All of the expressions made with the word hot are simple, easily-understood.

B. Taxes can be a hot potato for a politician if not handled carefully.

C. The expression “a hot shot” was born in the military forces.

D. If you say that the new play you saw last night is not so hot, you do not consider it a success.

58. “Hot” is a word that is often used to talk about anger, which two phrases are associated with this meaning?

A. a hot shot, a hot potato

B. a hothead, a hot shot

C. hot under the collar, a hothead

D. a hot potato, hot under the collar

59. The purpose of the first hot line was _____.

A. to stop the Cold War

B. to prevent accidental war between the two superpowers

C. to promote the cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States

D. to make direct telephone links for the people in Moscow and Washington

A story tells that a senior villager who led some other villagers carrying salt day and night to a town in order to trade barley as food for the winter. One night they camped in a wilderness with a starry sky above. The senior villager, obeying the tradition passed down from ancestry, took out three blocks of salt and threw them into the campfire, presumably to foretell the changes of weather in the mountains.

All eagerly waited for the old man’s “weather report”: if the salt in the fire produced crackling sound, they would have good weather in store; if no sound was produced, it then meant the good weather would soon end and a storm would come at any moment.

The senior villager looked serious. The salt in the campfire made no sound at all. Convinced by this bad omen (兆头), he urged the whole team to set out immediately after daybreak. A young man in the group, however, insisted that they should not start in such a hurry, considering it superstitious (迷信的) to “forecast weather by using salt”.

It was not until the next afternoon that the young man caught up on the wisdom of the old man when the weather suddenly changed, with cold winds blowing and a snowstorm raging. In fact, the method employed by the clan head could be well explained by modern science: whether or not salt produces sound in campfire depends on air humidity (湿度). That is to say, when a storm approaches, due to high humidity, the dampened salt blocks will not produce any sound in fire.

63. The senior villager foretold the changes of the weather ______ while camping in a wilderness that night.

A. by taking out salt B. by burning salt in fire

C. in a superstitious way D. depending on his wisdom

64. “The weather report” they got that night ______.

A. had a bad omen B. gave wrong information

C. was superstitious at that time D. was scientific according to modern science

65. After reading the passage, we can know ______.

A. the lower humidity is, the bigger sound salt will produce in fire

B. the higher humidity is, the bigger sound salt will produce in fire

C. dampened salt blocks will result in winds and storms

D. the young man never wanted to understand the old man

66. From the passage, it can be concluded that ______.

A. old people are always right

B. old people are wiser than the young

C. young people shouldn’t regard old ideas as useless or out of date sometimes

D. young people usually have different opinions from the old

D

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. However, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole world of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a well-known scientist. While schooling tries something that can be predicted, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from babies on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (不可或缺的) part of one’s life.

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at about the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on.. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

67. What does the author probably mean by “children interrupt education to go to

school”?

A. The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.

B. People are engaged in education the whole life.

C. Children go to school just to make trouble.

D. Schooling is not educationally beneficial.

68. The phrase “ For example” in the last paragraph introduces a sentence that

gives examples of .

A. the slices of reality that are to be learned

B. the result of schooling

C. limitations of classroom teaching

D. the similarities of all schools

69. Which of the following conclusions does the passage support?

A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.

B. Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed.

C. Education involves many years of competence training.

D. Going to school is only part of one’s education.

70． The passage is written in the way of .

A. contrasting the meaning of two related words

B. giving examples of different kinds of education

C. listing and discussing several educational problems

D. providing facts to support an argument
