Port Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four chokes marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I with a single line through the center.
(1) Nowadays, with plentiful ice and electric churning, few people recall the shared excitement of the era when making ice cream was a rarely scheduled event. Then the iceman brought to the back door, on special order, a handsome 2-foot-square cube of cold crystal and everyone in the family took a turn at the crank. The critical question among us children was, of course, who might lick the dasher. A century or so ago the novelist Stendhal knew only hand-churned ice cream and, when be first tasted it, ex-claimed, \"What a pity this isn't a sin!\"
Hand-churning is still tops for perfectionists for no power-driven machine has yet been invented that can achieve a comparable texture. Even French Pot, the very best commercial method for making ice cream, calls for finishing by hand.
Ice creams are based on carefully cooked well-chilled syrups and heavy custards, added to unwhipped cream. No form of vanilla flavoring can surpass that of vanilla suger or of the bean itself, steeped in a hot syrup. If sweetened frozen fruits are incorporated into the cream mixture instead of fresh fruits, be sure to adjust sugar content accordingly.
Make up mixtures for chum-frozen ice creams the day before you freeze, to increasingly fill the container only 3/4 full to permit expansion. To pack the freezer, allow 3 to 6 quarts of chipped or cracked ice to I cup of coarse rock sail. Pack about 1/3 of the freezer with ice and add layers of salt and ice around the container until the freezer is full. Allow the pack to stand about 3 minutes before you start turning. Turn slowly at first, about 40 revolutions a minute, until a slight pull is felt. Them triple speed for 5 to 6 minutes. If any additions, such as finely cut candied or fresh fruits or nuts are to be made, do so at this point. Then repack and taper off the churning to a-
bout 80 revolutions a minute for a few minutes more. The cream should be ready in 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the quality.
If the ice cream or ice is to be used at once, it should be frozen harder then if you plan to serve it later. Should the interval be 2 hours or more, packing will firm it. To pack, pour off the salt water in the freezer and wipe off the lid. Remove the dasher carefully, making sure that no salt or water gets into the cream container Scrape the cream down from the sides of the container. Place a cork in the lid and replace the lid. Repack the container in the freezer with additional ice and salt, using the same proporions as before. Cover the freezer with newspapers, a piece of carpet or other heavy material.
The cream should be smooth when served, If it proves granular, you used too much salt in the packing mixture, overfilled the inner, container with the ice cream mixture or turned too rapidly. If you are making a large quantity with the idea of storing some in the deep-freeze, package in sizes you plan on serving: Should ice cream be allowed to melt even slightly and is then refrozen, it loses in volume and even more in good texture. 31. In the first paragraph, \"took a turn at the crank\" could be paraphrased ______. A. \"helped to mix the ice cream\" B. \"ate some ice cream\"
C. \"helped break up the ice with a hammer\" D. \"protected the ice cream from children\"
32. According to the writer truly perfect ice cream ______. A. is now common and inexpensive at most stores B. is only possible with hand labor C. should be melted and then refrozen D. needs to be a sin
33. When ice cream is being hand-churned it is surrounded by a mixture of ______. A. syrup and cream B. syrup and ice
C. salt and ice D. fresh fruit and ice 34. In Paragraph Four, \"taper off\" means ______.
A. cut up B. stop C. speed up D. slow down 35. This passage reflects an era when ______. A. people liked a little salt in their ice cream
B. making ice cream was an occasional form of family entertainment C. ice cream was not popular
D. people did not know now to make cheese with their cream

Food and drink play a major role in Christmas celebrations in most countries, but in few more so than in Mexico. Many families over the festive season will do little more than cook and ingest a seemingly constant cycle of tortillas, fried beans, meat both roasted and stewed, and sticky desserts for days on end. Thus does the extended family keep on extending--further and further over their collective waistlines.
Lucky them, .you might think. Except that Mexico's bad eating habits are leading to a health crisis that most Mexicans seem blissfully unaware of. Obesity and its related disorder, diabetes, are now major health concerns in a country where large rural regions are still concerned more with under nourishment than with over-nourishment. In its perennial rivalry with the United States, Mexico has at last found an area in which it can match its northern neighbor--mouthful for mouthful.
The statistics are impressive, and alarming. According to the OECD, Mexico is now the second fattest nation in that group of 30 countries. A health poll in 1999 found that 35% of women were overweight, and another 24% technically obese, Juan Rivera, an official at the National Institute of Public Health, says that the combined figure for men would be about 55%, and that a similar poll to be carried out next year will show the fat quotient rising.
Only the United States, with combined figures of over 60%, is head.
That situation also varies geographically. Although Mexicans populate the north of their country more sparsely that the south, they make up for it weight-wise. A Study published by the Pan-American Health Organization a month ago showed that in the mostly Hispanic population that lives on either side of the American-Mexican border, fully 74% of men and 70% of women are either overweight or obese.
Moreover, even experts have been surprised by how rapidly the nation has swollen. Whereas the 1999 poll showed 59% of women overweight or obese, only 11 years previously that figure was just 33%. Nowhere is the transformation more noticeable then in the prevalence of diabetes, closely linked to over-eating and obesity. In 1968, says Joel, Rodriguez of the Mexican Diabetes Federation, the disease was in 35th place as a direct cause of mortality in Mexico, but now it occupies first place, above both cancer and heart disease. With about 6. 5m diabetics out of a population of 10Om, Mexico now has a higher rate than any other large country in the world. Not surprisingly. Mr. Rodriguez argues that Mexico is in the grip of an \"epidemic\".
Nor does it tax the brain much to work out that the causes of these explosions in obesity and diabetes are the Mexican diet and a lack of exercise. For most Mexicans, food consumption, not just at Christmas but all year round, is an unvarying combination of refried beans tortillas, meat and refrescos, or fizzy drinks; they consume 101 litres of cola drinks per person per year, just a little less than Americans and three times as much as Brazilians.
Meanwhile, the lack of exercise, Mr. Rivera argues, is a symptom of rapid urbanization over the past 30 years. Obesity and diabetes rates remain slightly lower in rural areas, indicating that manual labor endures as an effective way to stave off weight gain. In Mexico City, though, pollution and crime have progressively driven people out of the parks and the streets, so most now walk as little as possible--preferably no further than from the valet-parking service to the restaurant. To combat the fat, health professionals say that the country must first realize that it is indeed in the grip of an epidemic. Other diseases, such as AIDS and cancer, have captured most of the publicity in recent years; obesity and diabetes have been comparatively neglected.
But these arc also, as in other developing countries, mainly problems of the urban poor. It is a symptom of their growing prosperity that these parts of the population have, probably for the first time, almost unlimited access to the greatest amount of calories for the smallest amount of money, But with little knowledge of nutritional values, their diets are now unbalanced and unhealthy.
Low-carb products and other dietary imports from the United States have already made an appearance on the posher Mexican supermarket shelves. They may go into be shopping baskets of the rake-thin and utterly unrepresentative models who dominate the country's advertising hoardings. But they are still comparatively expensive. For the heaving mass of the population, things may have to get worse before the government, doctors and consumers realize that things have got to start getting better. 36. The phrase \"on end\" in the first paragraph can be replaced by ______. A. until all been consumed B. upright
C. continuously D. until the last day 37. Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage? A. Mexicans are eating a lot because of the country's affluence. B. Mexicans can match Americans in the nourishment of their diet. C. Mexicans only overeat during festive seasons.
D. Mexico is now the second fattest nation in this world.
38. Judging by the context, the word \"perennial\" in the second paragraph most probably means A. perpetual B. recurring C. transient D. perilous 39. Which is the most significant cause of mortality in Mexico?
A. Cancer. B. Heart disease. C. Diabetes. D. Epidemic.
40. It is known from the passage that from 1988 to 1999 the figure of women overweight of obese in Mexico rose

When you are small, all ambitions fall into one grand category: when I'm grown up. When I'm grown up, you say, I'll go up in space. I'm going to be an author. I'll kill them all and then they'll be sorry. I'll be married in a cathedral with sixteen brides- maids in pink lace. I'll have a puppy of my own and no one will be able to take him away.
None of it ever happens, of course, of dam little but the fantasies give you the idea that there is something to grow up for. Indeed one of the saddest things about gild-ed adolescence is the feeling that from eighteen on, it's all downhill; I read with horror of an American hippie wedding where someone said to the groom (age twenty) 'you seem so kinda grown up somehow', and the lad had to go around seeking reassurance that he wasn't, no, early he wasn't. A determination to be better adults than the present incumbents is fine, but to refuse to grow up at all is just plain unrealism.
Right, so then you get some of what you want, or something like it or something that will do all right; and for years you are too busy to do more than live in the present and put one foot in front of the other; your goals stretching little beyond the day when the boss has a stroke or the moment when the children can bring you tea in bed and the later moment when they actually bring you hot tea, not mostly clopped in the saucer. However, I have now discovered an even sweeter category of ambition. When my children are grown up I'll learn to fly an aero plane. I will career round the sky, knowing that if I do go pop there will be no little ones to suffer shock and maladjustment; that even if the worst does come to the worst I will at least dodge the geriatric ward and all that looking for your glasses in order to see where you've left your teeth. When my children are grown up I'll have fragile, lovely things on low tables; I'll have a white carpet; I'll go to the pictures in the 'afternoon. When the children are grown up I'll actually be able to do a day's work in day, instead of spread over three, and go away for a weekend without planning as if for a trip to the Moon. When I'm grown up--I mean when they're grown up--I'll be free.
Of course, I know it's got to get worse before it gets better. Twelve-year-olds, I'm told, don't go to bed at seven, so you don't even get your evenings; once they're past ten you have to start worrying about their friends instead of simply shooting the intruders off the doorstep, and to settle down to a steady ten years of criticism of every- thing you've ever thought or done or won. Boys, it seems, may be less of a trial than girls since they can't get pregnant and they don't borrow your clothes--it they do borrow your clothes, of course, you've got even more to worry about.
The young don't respect their parents any more, that's what. Goodness, how sad. Still, like eating snails, it might be all right once you've got over the idea: it might let us off having to bother quite so much with them when the time comes. But one is simply not going to be able to drone away one's days, toothless by the fire, brooding on the past.
41. What interests the writer about young children is that they ______.
A. have so many unselfish ambitions B. have such long term ambitions C. don't all want to be spacemen D. all long for adult pleasures 42. The writer maintains that fantasies ______.
A. satisfy ambition B. lessen ambition C. stimulate ambition D. frustrate ambition 43. What does the writer feel is wrong with the modern generation?

B. continue to be ambitious
C. find a compromise between ambition and reality D. give up all one's earlier ambitions
45. When the children leave home, the writer thinks that ______.
A. there will be compensations B. she will be delighted
C. she will be desolated D. there will be nothing to do

For years pediatricians didn't worry much about treating hypertension in their patients. After all, kids grow so fast, it's hard keeping up with their shoe size, let alone their blood pressure. Sure, hypertension in adults places them at greater risk of heart, attack and stroke. But nobody likes the idea of starting youngsters on blood-pressure medicine they could wind up taking the rest of their lives. Who knows what previously unheard-of side effects could crop up after five or six decades of daily use?
The rationale has been: kids grow out of so many things, maybe they'll grow out of this too.
Now, though, comes word that high blood pressure can be destructive even in childhood. According to a recent report in the journal Circulation, 19of 130children with high blood pressure developed a dangerous thickening of the heart muscle that, in adults at least, has been linked to heart failure. \"No one knows if this pattern holds true for younger patients as well,\" says Dr. Stephen Daniels, a pediatric cardiologist who led the study at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Cincinnati, Ohio. \"But it's worrisome.\"
Who's most at risk? Boys more man girls, expecially boys who are overweight. Their heart works so hard to force blood through extra layers of fat that its walls grow more dense. Then, after decades of straining, it grows too big to pump blood very well. Fortunately the abnormal, thickering can be spotted by ultrasound. And in most case, getting that blood pressure under control--through weight loss and exercise or, as a last resort, drug treatment--allows the overworked muscle to shrink to normal size.
How can you tell if yours are like the 670, 000 American children ages 10 to 18 with high blood pressure? It's not the sort of thing you can catch by putting your child's arm in a cuff at the free monitoring station in your local grocery. You should have a test done by a doctor, who will consult special tables that indicate me normal range of blood pressure for a particular child's age, height and sex. If the doctor finds an abnormal result he will repeat the test over a period of months to make sure the reading isn't a fake. He'll also check, whether other conditions, like kidney disease, could be the source of the trouble. Because hypertension can be hard to detect the National Heart. Lung and Blood Institute recommends annual blood-pressure checks for every child over age 3. About half the eases of hypertension stem directly from kids being overweight. And the problem is likely to grow. Over the past 30 years the proportion of children in the U. S. who are overweight has doubled, from 5% to 11% or4.7 million kids.
You can keep your children from joining their ranks by clearing the junk food from your pantry and honking your kids--the earlier the better--on healthy, attractive snacks like fruits (try freezing some grapes/or carrot sticks with salsa. Not only will they lower your children's blood pressure: these foods will also boost their immune system and unclog their plumbing. Meanwhile, make sure your kids spend more time on the playground than with their PlayStation. Even if they don't shed a pound, vigorous exercise will help keep their blood vessels nice and wide, lowering their blood pressure. And of course, they'll be more likely to eat light and exercise if you set a good example.
46. This piece of writing is mainly addressed to ______.
A. parents B. boys C. girls D. pediatrician 47. The word unclog in paragraph 7 can be replaced by ______.
A. fix B. clear C. hinder D. dismantle
48. By saying \"It's not the sort of thing you can catch by putting your child's arm in a cuff at the free monitoring station in your local grocery \
A. hypertension is hard to detect
B. children often refuse to have their blood pressure tested
C. you'll have to pay a lot of money if you want to have your child's blood pressure checked in a grocery D. in a local grocery, you are free to determine how to have your child's blood pressure examined 49. Which of the following is not suggested by the writer to control hypertension? A. Ding treatments. B. Weight loss. C. Exercise. D. Overwork. 50. We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A. children with hypertension are unlikely to suffer from heart attack and stroke B. parent's blood pressure decides their children's blood pressure C. besides overweight, there are other factors resulting in hypertension D. vigorous exercise sometimes will lead to heart trouble

Every geologist is familiar with the erosion cycle. No sooner has an area of land been raised alive sea-level than it becomes subject to the erosive forces of nature. The rain beats down on the ground and washed (51) the finer particles, sweeping them into rivulets and then into rivers and out to sea. The frost freezes the rain water in cracks of the rocks and breaks (52) even the hardest of the constituents of the earth's crust. Blocks of rock dislodged at high levels are brought down by the force of gravity. Alternate heating and (53) of bare rock surfaces causes their disintegration. In the dry regions of the world the wind is a powerful force in removing material from one area to another. All this is natural. But nature has also provided certain defensive forces. Bare rock surfaces are in (54) course protected by soil itself dependent initially on the weathering of the rocks. Slowly (55) surely, different types of soil with differing \"profiles\" evolve the main types depending primarily on the climate.

Directions: Put the following passage into Chinese.
Dun took a deep breath, thinking over what had been said and searching in his mind for a possible course of action. Not for the first time in his flying career, he felt himself in the grip of an acute sense of apprehension, only this time his awareness of his responsibilty for the safety of a huge, complex aircraft and nearly sixty lives was tinged with a sudden icy premonition of disaster. Was this, then what it felt like? Older pilots, those who had been in combat in the war, always maintained that if you kept at the game long, enough you'd buy it in the end. How was it that in the space of half an hour a normal, every day, routing flight, carrying a crowd of happy football fans, could change into a nightmare nearly four miles above the earth, something that would shriek across the front pages of a hundred newspapers?

在美国历史上人们最津津乐道的政治问题恐怕就是法律与秩序。但令人感到痛心的是，显然有好几百万美国人从来没有想到过自己会是违法者，更不用说是犯罪分子了。他们越来越不把那些旨在保护他们社会的法律条文放在心上。如今，人们随手乱扔垃圾、偷税漏税、发出违禁噪音，以及开车时表现出来的无政状府态，可谓是司空见惯。有时不由使人觉得，藐视法令者竟可代表未来的潮流了。哈佛大学的社会学家戴维·里斯曼认为：大多数美国人漫不经心地把犯点所谓的小错误当作是理所当然的。他还认为：今天美国社会道德准则已出现“只有傻瓜才守法的”危险倾向了。

Dun做了一个深呼吸，仔细掂量着曾经说过的话，脑子里思索着可能采取的行动。在飞行中敏锐地觉
察到恐惧担心，这对Dun来说并不是第一次。但仅仅只有这次，他对于庞大复杂的飞行器以及将近60条生命的安全责任感夹杂着一种突如其来的冷酷的灾难前兆。这就是当时的所感吗?那些经历过战争的老飞行员常常这样认为：如果你在一场游戏中待得太久的话，最终你会放弃。每天载着一群兴奋的足球迷，在固定航线上半个小时的正常飞行如何能够变成一个离开地面4米的噩梦呢?这种噩梦将被耸人听闻地报道在众多报纸的头版上。

Law and order are undoubtedly the most favorably discussed political problem in American history. To our heartache, however, obviously the thought of being a violator has never been occurred to millions of Americans, let alone a criminal. They are increasingly putting aside the law aimed at protecting their society. Nowadays, it is not surprising to see that throwing litter here and there, tax evasion, making illegal noises, and the anarchy displayed during driving. Sometimes we can not help wondering that those who contempt the law represent the future trends. David Riesman, sociologist from Harvard University, points out: It is unmindfully taken for granted to make so- called small mistakes by most Americans. He also holds that a dangerous tendency has appeared in current American society, which is only the fools abiding by the laws.
Part Ⅴ Writing
In the cartoon, we can see that two people are \"fishing\" in the lottery pool. One person comes to the fishing with a purpose of making donation and helping others, while the other person comes for a simple and direct purpose--to make money, getting the 500 hundred prize. And the final result is that the one who is eager for the prize didn't got it while the one didn't aim to get the prize finally got it. The cartoon tells people a simple truth that attitude or motivation decides the result. To elaborate it, an altruistic motivation can always get a better result than a too strong-aimed one.
In history, many great people that have made great achievements are not so strong- motivated, and in most cases, their achievements arrived just by accident. If Newton had just focused on his experiment in the library, he would miss the scene of an apple's falling off the tree, and then, there will not be the born of the famous gravity theory. If Professor. Roentgen had pursued the results of his induction coil, then there would not be the discovery and application of X-ray.
In the daily life, there are always people who show strong zeal for high social status, a better
salary, a high life quality, and always these dreams end up with disappointment. Motivation is not a bad thing, in most cases, it can help urge people to make progress rather than stay in the starting point; but sometimes, to focus a motivation too much may make people blind to many other more important things, such as enjoying life and keeping the virtue and so on.
To sum up, attitude decides the result. Our life is full of things of great significance, thus we shouldn't focus too much on a single thing, while neglect the other more important ones.
