Part Ⅴ Reading comprehension ( 2X15)
Passage 1
Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it.
Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may say that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow. For perception is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses--in this case our eyes—tell us.
Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. 56. what does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Perceiving has nothing to do with seeing. B. perceiving differs from seeing

Passage 2
Your success in your studies will also depend upon your motivation( 动机)。 This need or desire to achieve a certain goal can make the difference between success and failure. Motivation can come from two sources: from inside of you or from outside of you. In the first case, motivation comes from your hopes and expectations, from your desire to do something or to be someone. Study purposes that result from personal inner desires are individual and various. If you have not already done so, you should think carefully about what you hope to gain from your studies, and why. You should set a goal and direct all your study efforts toward reaching it. A goal of this kind is important because it will determine the direction and degree of your motivation for study.
Not everyone is highly motivated from within and no one is continuously motivated from within. Fortunately there is another source of motivation: from outside. In education the most obvious kind of outside motivation is grades. For many students, course grades are an immediate, short-range motivation for study. This is one of the reasons for exams and grades, but they must not become a goal in themselves. Grades help to motivate you from day to day, but they are only small, artificial steps to your ultimate goal. It would be wrong to set grades as your only ambition.
A textbook like this cannot provide you with motivation; that must come from yourself. But as an encouragement, it is useful to know that good study habits depend upon good motivation. And good study habits are important because they help you get more done in less time. It is not a matter of how much you study; more important is how well you study. 61. Inside motivation comes from . A. your need and desire B. your hopes and expectations C. your desire to do something or to be someone D. both B and C 62. Study purposes .
A. are different from person to person B. are personal inner desires C. share some common points D. should be carefully made 63. If you haven’t set a goal in your studies, .
A. you will most probably become a failure B. you will never be a good student C. you may lose direction and lack motivation D. you won’t have good study habits 64. According to passage, why are exams and grades necessary in education?

A. Because they can make the difference between success and failure B. Because they can motivate many students to study harder.
C. Because they can check what you have gained from your studies. D. Because they are small, artificial steps to an ultimate goal. 65. If you want to be an efficient learner, you must .
A. have clear study purposes

Passage 3
Our environment is getting worse and worse with the increase of the world population, which affects the environment in two ways. Firstly, the limited energy resources will be used up much faster. Secondly, the increasing population creates more pollution, another severe problem that needs to be solved. Both problems are long-term ones because actions taken now show their results slowly over many years. They are also urgent because delays in action can lead to great suffering and social problems. The question seems to be difficult to handle for most people. However, a person can be a protector of environment in everyday life if he takes actions to save the environment right now. With the development of technology, cars make transportation easier and quicker than before, but we can't ignore the disadvantages brought to us by more and more cars in use. For example, we are consuming gasoline (汽油), which is a non-renewable (无法更新的) resource, and will soon be gone. Moreover, the exhausted gas from cars pollutes our air, and our health is therefore threatened by air pollution, which has a big potential effect on our daily life. So we can consider walking, taking buses, carpooling (合用汽车), instead of driving cars alone. This seems to be a very slow process that can't be so effective if it’s taken by a single person. But when more and more people become aware of the importance and positively take it as their personal responsibilities, the condition of the air will be improved to a great extent.
66. According to the writer, the main problem to our environment today is .
A. the increase of population B. the limited energy resources C. the more serious air pollution D. the development of technology
67. From the passage, we can know that __________.
A. effective measures can be taken mainly by the government B. taking measures now can soon improve the environment
C. immediate measures can cause great suffering and social problems
D. every single person’s action has some effect on environment protection
68. The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is most probably to ___________ .
