Reading Comprehension (15 points)Directions: Read the following two passages, and at the end of each passage, you will have five multiple-choice questions. Choose the right answer and write down the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1 When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Ricans in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings (耳环）. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Ricans, which means “rich coast” in Spanish. Though little gold was found, Costa Ricans today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Ricans and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the countrys second most important export. Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors. Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.1. Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Ricans.B. How Costa Ricans got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore. D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.2. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses _.A. pink and red B. gray and blackC. blue and green D. yellow and orange3. In Costa Ricans, boys and girls between seven and fourteen _A. must go to school B. study in the same schoolC. do not have to go to school at allD. can choose to stop schooling at any time4.

This passage is mainly about _.A. Christopher Columbus B. Costa Ricans C. some products from Costa Ricans D. the education of Costa Ricans Passage 2 English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words. However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce , and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese ? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible; but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.6. According to the passage _. A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round7.

Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are _.A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. dull V.
