二、阅读理解

（每题1分，共30 分。）

In this section you will find after each of the passages a number of questions or unfinished statements about the passage, each with 4 (A, B, C and D) choices to answer the question or complete the statement.You must choose the one which you think fits best.Blacken the corresponding letter as required on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.
Questions 1—10 are based on the following passage.
While anti-slavery sentiment eventually dictated policy in both the United States and Great Britain, the course of abolition differed greatly in the two nations. In America, the institution of slavery was strongly defended in a debate that ultimately resulted in the Civil War of 1860. In Britain, by contrast, slavery was done away with by 1807 and barred throughout its colonial possessions by 1833. In analyzing Britain’s course, historians have well documented the influences of economic change, humanitarian protest and reform movement.
One factor that has been largely ignored by scholars, however, is the impetus that was provided by children’s literature. This medium gained great popularity in Britain during the last half of the 18th century and provided direct access to young, impressionable minds. Consequently, children’s literature constituted the perfect vehicle for spreading of humanitarian ideas and played a vital role in creating anti-slavery concerns.
In 1761, John Newberry’s Tom Telescope included the first known reference to the slave trade in children’s literature. Tom, the book’s hero, took issue with a man who was fond of his household pet yet, as a slave merchant, thought “nothing of separating the husband from the wife, the parents from the children’”. Slavery was not only cruel and oppressive, Tom seemed to be saying, but it was also irrational and contrary to natural law. Written before much of the horrors of the Atlantic slave trade were revealed, Tom Telescope contained an implicit message. Soon afterwards, writers and publishers were in a position to be more explicit. One of the leaders in this movement was the Society of Friends who, in1787, published Little Truths. Passages in this work directly related conditions aboard slave ships: “children were in the ship, pressed like fishes in barrel.”
Around the turn of the 18th century, blacks were introduced for the first time as main characters in children’s literature. An early example of this device is found in Thomas Day’s immensely popular. The History of Sand ford and Merton, in which a black beggar miraculously rescues Harry Sand ford from a raging bull. Significantly, Day says very little about the institution of slavery itself, but the reader is left with no doubt that it is inhuman and cruel.
While it would be misleading to assume that every children’s book published between1750 and 1850 contained anti-slavery sentiments, the numbers are significant enough to suggest that they played a vital role in shaping their attitudes toward blacks. At the same time, even when the capabilities of blacks were recognized, there was always a tendency to depict them as different rather than equal. Perhaps unwittingly, children’s literature helped to form a stereotype that — while successfully attacking slavery — also strengthened the 19th century Englishmen’s sense of racial superiority.

The American Civil War was primarily caused by__________.

A.the sympathy of the slaves by the people
B.the strong opposition to abolish the slavery system
C.the defense of human fights
D.the influences of economic change, humanitarian protest and reform movement

According to the text, all of the following may be the factors in creating anti-slavery sentiment in the British territories except__________.

A.children’s literature
B.protest by humanitarian groups
C.the Civil War of 1860

The word “impetus” underlined in Paragraph 2 means__________.

A.the force that moves the anti-slavery movement forward
B.the desire to excite children’s interest
C.the factor that influences public opinion
D.the potential of children’s literature

John Newberry’s Tom Telescope may be__________.

A.a pamphlet that deals with slavery system
B.a book of adventures for children
C.a book of children’s literature that deals with slavery issues

A.there seemed to be no anti-slavery sentiment in England
B.little was known about the horrors of conditions aboard slave ships

B.depicted the black as equals of the white
C.helped to form a stereotype which strengthened the black racial superiority
D.not only contained anti-slavery sentiments but also had certain negative effects on the blacks

Questions 1—10 are based on the following passage.
Elle Woods has it all.She’s the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June in her campus calendar,and, above all, a natural blonde.She dates the cutest fraternity boy on campus and wants nothing more than to be Mrs.Warner Huntington Ⅲ.But, there’s just one thing stopping Warner from popping the question: Elle is too blonde.Growing up across the street from Aaron Spelling might mean something in LA, but nothing to Warner’s East-Coast blue blood family.So, when Warner packs up for Harvard Law and reunites with an old sweetheart from prep school, Elle rallies all her resources and gets into Harvard, determined to win him back.But law school is a far cry from the comforts of her poolside and the mall.Elle must wage the battle of her life, for her guy, for herself and for all the blondes who suffer endless indignities every day.
“Legally Blonde” is an American comedy which was released in 2001 word wide.The heroine is played by Reese Witherspoon, who does well in the movie.
In my opinion, strictly, “Legally Blonde” is a not-so-bright comedy.Why? The combination of a beautiful but silly blonde and the strict but dull law school makes inconsistent musical notation.But I am well disposed to the lovely girl at the same time.There are a lot of reasons.For one thing, the outstanding performance of Reese Witherspoon makes a deep impression on my mind.
For another, the magic and special character of the heroine Elle moves me.She is sensitive to fashion and good at making up, but not the silly Billy.Her perfect observation also lights up our eyes.When she went to visit the prisoner, with a CalvinKlein blouse, a suit of Clinique and the last Cosmo, who could doubt her ability to get the trust? When she won the case by her experience about her life, nobody could deny that sometimes a handful of common sense was worth a bushel of learning.

Questions 1—10 are based on the following passage.
Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text.The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers.In the light of these, he puts further questions, and so on.
For most of the time, this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness.At times, however, we become aware of it.This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning.When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people converse with the text differently.Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining.The former represents a kind of comprehension, which is written in the text.The latter represents higher-level comprehension.The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation, which, from our point of view, is equally important, and that is not to do with what is read but with how it is read.We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation.It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies we employ in reading.If we are advanced readers, our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed.Not so is our ability to hold a process conversation.It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.

B.read without thinking hard
C.interpret a text in their own way
D.concentrate on the meaning of words only

The underlined phrase "take off" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to__________.

A.stay close to
B.transmit
C.leave

A “process” conversation has to do with__________.

C.the development of our ability to check the details
D.determining the main idea of a text

Which of the following is NOT true?
