Part Two Reading Comprehension Directions In this part there are passages and one listing, each followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage: Different weather makes people feel different. It influences health, intelligence and feelings. In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March. The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, IQ of a group of students was very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQ was 10% lower. The wind can help people have more intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year (July and August). Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold during these months. They might feel unhappy during cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18 degrees C, people become stronger. Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low-pressure days. People feel best at a temperature of about 18 degrees C. Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem. Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage: 11. ____can cause problems on health. A. Hot and wet weather B. A strong wind C. Warm weather D. Low air pressure 12. A report shows that people may have more intelligence when _____comes. A. rain B. a strong wind C. very hot weather D. low air pressure 13. According to the writer, fat people may feel bad in ______.

IQ changes when weather changes D. people feel good on low pressure days 15. The best title for this passage is ______ A. Hot Weather Causes Health Problems B. Different Weather Makes People Feel Bad C. Weather Influences Feelings D Weather Influences Health, Intelligence and Feelings. Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage: Another cultural aspect is that you might not think about space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels need to apologize. But the size of a person's "comfort zone" depends on his cultural aspect. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other "at arm's length", people in Latin or Arab cultures stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. But, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away in that situation. When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite people empathize by displaying different expressions. People with a "poker face", whose emotions are hidden without any expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate that they should be polite in a conversation by nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite. Americans see it as a sign of honesty. If a person doesn't look at you in the eye, Americans might say, you should question his motives----or assume that he doesn't like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring at strangers to be rude. 16.

One is the student who is learning English in order to study some other subjects. The other is the student who needs to learn how to write essays as a part of his university course. As its title suggests, the book’s main aim is to teach writing. But each unit contains a passage of English, followed by exercises to make sure you have understood how that passage is organized. Why is so much reading practice given in a book? Simply because you wish to organize your own essays correctly, it is important to understand how other writers have organized their passages. Each unit of this book is about a different subject. These subjects in this book have been chosen because of their general interest, and you do not have to be an expert on each subject to follow the units. Even so, the student who is learning English in order to study some other subjects may ask whether he would spend his time better reading and writing about his own subject. This is not necessary true. Essays, reports and articles have a lot in common, whether they are about chemistry or sociology. So the chemist and the sociologist can learn a lot about writing good English by reading and writing passages on subjects of general interest. 21. The book is mainly designed for __________. A. middle school teachers B. professional writers C. organizers and designers D. college students 22. The main reason for much reading in the book is that ________.
