　�、�. Reading Comprehension 20%

　　Directions: There are two passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.You should decide on the BEST CHOICE.

Passage One

　　A few years ago I had an “aha!” moment regarding handwriting.

　　I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be. I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.

　　It was a very important event in the computerization of life—a sign that the informal. Friendly communication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another?s handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.

　　As a child visiting my father?s office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” instead of “RFW”.

　　All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting，a book by Florey. Sire shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can?t be expected to learn to hold a pen.

　　I don?t buy it. I don?t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.

　　What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th?century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However，they have worked in many school systems.

　　()1.Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague?s handwriting?

　　A.He had worked with his colleague long enough.

　　B.His colleague?s handwriting was so beautiful.

　　C.His colleague?s handwriting was so terrible.

　　D.He still had a 1ot of work to do.

　　()2.People working together in an office used to .

　　A.talk more about handwriting

　　B.take more notes on workdays

　　C.know better one another?s handwriting

　　D.communicate better with one another

　　()3.The author?s father wrote notes in pen .

　　A.to both his family and his staff

　　B.to his family in small letters

　　C.to his family on the fridge

　　D.to his staff on the desk

　　()4.According to the author，handwritten notes .

　　A.are harder to teach in schools

　　B.attract more attention

　　C.are used only between friends

　　D.carry more message

　　()5.We can learn from the passage that the author .

　　A.thinks it impossible to teach handwriting

　　B.does not want to lose handwriting

　　C.puts the blame on the computer

　　D.does not agree with Florey

Passage Two

　　The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: “store in the refrigerator.”

　　In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthy. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher(肉商), the baker, and the ice?cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus(剩余的)bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.

　　The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well?tried techniques already existed—natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling…

　　What refrigeration did promote was marketing—marketing hardware and electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.

　　Consequently, most of the world?s fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially?cooled space inside an artificially?heated house—while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.

　　The fridge?s effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant. If you don?t believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburgers(漢堡包), but at least you?ll get rid of that terrible hum.

　　()6.The statement “In my fridgeless Fifties childhood, I was fed well and healthy.” (Line 1, Para.2) suggests that .

　　A.the author was well?fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fifties

　　B.the author was not accustomed to using fridges even in his fifties

　　C.there was no fridge in the author?s home in the 1950s

　　D.the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s

　　()7.Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges?
