Part I Reading Comprehension (共20小题，每小题2分，共40分)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna,Austria, people asked the obvious question. “Why did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 118 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. Although cities are often regarded as unhealthy places, city living provides benefits that country living may lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (长寿) of those interviewed.
This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators, and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, city people often have no choice but to walk.
On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.

Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
The Bedouin people, a tribe in living in the deserts of Arabia andNorthern Africa, think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’s family and tribe.
A man’s position among his people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disgraced, he, too, is disgraced. Therefore, one carefully guards the honor of his family and his tribe.
A man can protect his family’s honors by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.
A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done something wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue (美德).

Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
Up until about 100 years ago, newspapers in theUnited Statesattracted only the most serious readers. They used no illustrations (插图) and the articles were about politics or business.
Two men changed that --- Joseph Pulitzer of theNew YorkWorld and William Randolph Hearst of theNew YorkJournal. Pulitzer bought theNew YorkWorld in 1883. He changed it from a traditional newspaper into a very exciting one overnight. He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find. And they did. One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital. She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals where mad men were kept. In 1895, Hearst came toNew YorkfromCalifornia. He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World. He also wanted it to be cheaper, so he lowered the price to a penny. Hearst attracted attention because his newspaper headings (标题) were bigger than anyone else’s. he often said, “Big print makes big news.”
Pulitzer and Hearst did anything they could to sell newspapers. For example, Hearst sent Frederic Remington, the famous illustrator, to draw pictures of the Spanish-American War. When he got there, he told Hearst that no fighting was going on. Hearst answered, “You provide the pictures. I’ll provide the war.”
11. About a century ago, American newspaper carried news about ______.
A. all kinds of exciting news
B. crimes and mad people
C. the poor treatment of patients
D. serious matters only
12. According to Paragraph 2, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Pulitzer and a woman news reporter changed the World overnight.
B. Pulitzer bought the Journal with the help of his reporter
C. A woman news reporter pretended to be mad.
D. A woman reporter became mad and was sent to a hospital
13. Hearst attracted readers’ attention by ______.
A. using bigger headings
B. reporting big war news
C. raising the price of the newspaper
D. reporting politics and business only
14. ______ was asked to draw war pictures.
A. Hearst
B. Remington
C. Pulitzer
D. A woman reporter
15. This passage tells us that ______.
A. Pulitzer and Hearst were the most famous reporters of theUnited States
B. newspaper owners sometimes hired mad men as their news reporters
C. the World and the Journal were not popular newspapers at that time
D. Pulitzer and Hearst used every possible means to win over each other
Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
It is hard to imagine life without Arabic numerals (数字). No other number system ever invented has a single way to write a number like 1984. In Roman numerals, it comes out like this: MCMLXXXIV. Imagine how difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it!
The Arabs, however, call their numbers “Indian numerals”. This is probably because they got the original idea a long time ago fromIndia. There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazines then, so mathematics traveled along the same routes that silk did, as businessmen sold and bought goods. The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led to advances in technology.
The achievements of Arabic technology can be seen from a passage in a 10th century book about an Arabic city: “The neighboring country showed the results of careful work in agriculture, trade, and industry. Rice and many other plants were grown in fields with water supplied by Arab engineers. The city included 900 public baths, stone-covered streets, fountains, and beautiful buildings.” At this time,Londonwas a small town with dirty streets, andBerlinwas a farming village. In fact, cities outside the Arab world did not reach the same level of social development until centuries later.
16. This passage tells us that the Arabs were a people ______.
A. inventing Roman numerals
B. having advanced technology long ago
C. growing corn and many other plants then
D. supplying other countries with colorful silk
17. It takes much more efforts to ______.
A. learn Roman numerals than Arab numerals
B. introduce numerals through printed materials
C. make great use of silk roads
D. reach businessmen numerals
18. The Arabs call their numerals “Indian numerals” because ______.
A. the numerals are mainly used inIndia
B. they copied numerals from Indians
C. Arabic numerals were first used by Indian businessmen
D. they got some ideas about numbers from the ancient Indians
19. According to the passage, the Arab people ______.
A. did business with the Indians
B. learned some ideas about business from Indians
C. built public baths inLondonin the 10th century
D. traveled a long way to learn mathematics inRome
20. From a 10th century book, we can learn that ______.
