Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple

Choice)

(每小题：2 分)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose

the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog.

During the first half of the nineteenth century much thought was

given to building the Panama Canal. The discovery of gold in

California in 1848 brought an increased demand for a

transportation link across Panama. A railroad line was completed

after six years of hard labor in the swamps (沼泽) and jungles. Over

two thousand workmen died from yellow fever and malaria (疟疾).

In 1881 a French organization tried to build a canal across the

Isthmus (巴拿马地峡). For eleven years workmen struggled against

heat and disease. At least 15,000 died before the French gave up

their attempts to build the canal. For years the abandoned

machinery lay in the jungles. At the close of the Spanish-American

War the United States bought a strip of land ten miles wide across

the Isthmus. Immediate attention was given to the control of

diseases. In two years yellow fever was completely eliminated.

Because of the work of American medical heroes, it was possible to

build the splendid Panama Canal.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

At one time a traveler could learn about a region by looking at the

houses. For example, he or she could understand what building

materials were available. In areas with many wood houses, the

traveler would have guessed that there were nearby forests. Stone

houses would have indicated that stones were easy to get.

However, a closer look at the houses would have told the traveler

even more about the area.

People used to build houses that fitted the climate of their areas.

For example, in desert regions there is a big difference between

daytime and nighttime temperatures. Therefore, many desert

people built houses with very thick walls. These thick walls served a

useful purpose in the houses. For example, in the winter the thick

walls absorbed the sun's warmth during the day and radiated the

heat at night. Desert people were relatively comfortable in their

homes, or residences, at all times because they built them to fit the

desert climate.

Then the supply of fuel for electricity became both cheap and easy

to get. The effect on housing was immediate. People began to build

their homes according to fashion instead of utility. Houses no

longer reflected the availability of building materials or climate.

Houses with steep roofs could be found in the tropics, the warm

regions of the Earth, even though these pointed roofs originated in

snowy regions of the world. Heavy snow falls off a slanted (歪斜的)

roof. Another example is the use of glass. Houses made almost

completely of glass could be found in very cold places. Yet ordinary

glass does not insulate (绝缘) well because it neither keeps out

cold air nor keeps in warm air. As long as fuel was cheap and easy

to get, people could build any type of house any place.

6. What are two things that a traveler could learn about an area

by looking at the houses?

A. The climate is poor and so are the people living in it.

B. The climate in the area and the kind of building materials

easy for the people to reach.

C. There is a forest nearby and they are on the top of a

mountain.

D. They are near a house and its owner is not there at the

moment.

A. wood is a forest product

7.

B. there are no stones in forests

C. houses used to tell about a region

D. people used to travel to learn about houses

8. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that ________.

A. thick walls absorb heat from the sun

B. people built houses to fit the climate

C. people are comfortable in their houses

D. in the desert, daytime temperatures are lower than

nighttime temperatures

The main idea of Paragraphs 3 and 4 is that ________.

A. heavy snow does not stay on steep roofs

9.

B. ordinary glass does not insulate well

C. fuel is used to produce electricity

D. the supply of fuel affects home building

10. What does "radiate" (Para. 2) mean?
