Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension（30points，2points for each）從下列每篇短文的問題后所給的四個選擇項中選出一個最佳答案，填在該題后的括號內。
Passage One Questions21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
People in cities all over the world shop in supermarkets. Who decides what you buy in the supermarkets? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?
When you enter the supermarket，you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles（過道）between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it.
You probably hear slow music as you walk along the aisles; if you hear fast music，you walk quickly. The super-market plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.
Maybe you go the meat department first. There is some meat on sale，and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the end of the meat department，away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.
The dairy（乳制品）department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different containers of low fat milk. One says“1percent（1%）”fat on the container. The second says“99percent（99%）far free”.The third says“Low Fat”in big letters and“1%”in small letters. As you can see，all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk in each container is also the same. However in this store the three containers of milk don t cost the same. Maybe the customer will buy the milk that costs the most.
21.This passage mainly discusses . 【 】

B. which customers like slow music
C. where customers enter the meat department
D. where customers enter the dairy department
24.The cheaper meat is put at the end of the meat department because . 【 】

A. the more expensive the milk，the better its quality
B. the bigger the container，the better the milk in it
C. the less fat the milk contains，the cheaper it costs

Passage Two Questions26 to30 are based on the following passage.
All of us rely on what we see. W e say to ourselves，“I know，I was there; I saw it happen”and that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the evidence of our eyes?
Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will the disagree with the referee（裁判）.“He was out of bounds when he caught the pass，”says one fan. Says another，“You are crazy. I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind.”The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not convinced—because they were there!
It s the same story in the courtroom. Trial procedure depends on witnesses giving sworn testimony（證詞）.But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study，ten thousand witnesses were asked to describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that，on the average，the witnesses overestimated the man s height by five inches，his age by eight years，and gave the wrong hair color in83percent of the cases. These witnesses didn’t play tricks on them!
What can we do to keep error to a minimum? First of all，don t let your emotions interfere with your vision. Don t see something because you want to see it. Secondly，try to stay relaxed. If you are tense，you are likely to see red when the color is blue. And finally，it helps to make notes of what you see. Don t rely on your memory alone. Take pictures，make recordings，and use any other aid to reduce distortion（歪曲）.
26.The main idea of this passage is that . 【 】
A. all of us rely on what we see

D. have no faith in the referee
28.Statistical studies show that . 【 】
A. courtroom testimony only confuses the judge
B. courtroom testimony is often unreliable
C. eyewitnesses are remarkably accurate
D. eyewitnesses tend to conceal what they see
29.The word“them”（Paragraph3）refers to . 【 】
A. the judges and the trial procedure
B. the witnesses and their testimony
C.83percent of the cases
D. the height，age and hair color of the criminal
30.In order to keep error to a minimum，we are advised to . 【 】
A. separate our emotions from what we see
B. improve our memory of what we see
C. get a better look at what we are interested in
D. concentrate on what makes us relaxed

Passage Three Questions31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
When children learn a language，they learn the grammar as well as the words or vocabulary. No one teaches them; children just“pick them up”.
Before babies begin to produce words，they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired，and others will disappear. This is called the“babbling（牙牙學語）stage”.
A child does not learn the language“all at once”.The child s first utterances（言語）are one-word sentences. After a few months，the two-word stage arises. During this stage，the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later，in the telegraphic stage，the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar，but eventually it will become mature.
All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race（種族），social class，geography，or even intelligence. This ability is uniquely human.
31.This passage is mainly about . 【 】
A. the difference between a child s language and an adult s
B. ways of teaching babies to talk
C. children s learning of the mother language
D. the importance of learning foreign languages
32.The phrase“pick them up”（Line2，Paragraph1）means“ ”. 【 】
A. raise them from the ground
B. learn them without much effort
C. use hands to help carry them
D. study very hard and remember them
33.During the“babbling stage”，babies. 【 】
A. can only produce sounds
B. learn to walk steadily
C. can understand people’s talk
D. begin to produce two-word sentences
34.The two-word sentences produced by babies . 【 】
A. are simpler than those produced in the“babbling stage”
B. are more difficult than those produced in the telegraphic stage
C. are strictly grammatical
D. are meaningful and have function
35.Any child can learn language as long as he is . 【 】
A. well-educated
B. clever enough
C. unique
D. physically normal

Ⅶ.E-C Translation（15points）將下列短文譯成漢語。
What will man be like in the future— in5，000 or even 50，000 years from now? W e can only make a guess，of course，but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. Forman is slowly changing all the time. Let us take an obvious example. Man，even five hundred years ago，was shorter than he is today. Now，on average，men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time，so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.
Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact，we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.

五千年、甚至五萬年以后人類將會是什么樣子呢?當然，我們只能猜測，不過我們可以肯定的是人類與現(xiàn)在長得不一樣，因為人類始終在慢慢地改變著。
舉個明顯的例子，五百年前的人比當今人長得矮。現(xiàn)在，人們平均高了三英寸。相對來說，五百年不算很長，因此我們可以推斷:人類將繼續(xù)長得更高。
如今，我們不停地使用著眼睛。事實上，由于使用過度，我們的視力變弱了，我們不得不佩戴眼鏡了。但是，經(jīng)過很長一段時間后，人類的視力可能會變強。
