Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Passage One

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:

Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian（百姓的）clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior

quality from a man who wears a uniform. the television repairman who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity（身份）than to step out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible（可减税的）. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.

Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

56. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.

A) still judge a man by his clothes

B) hold the uniform in such high regard

C) enjoy having a professional identity

D) will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform

57. People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.

A) suggests quality work

B) discards his social identity

C) appears to be more practical

D) looks superior to a person in civilian clothes

58. The chief function of a uniform is to _______.

A) provide practical benefits to the wearer

B) make the wearer catch the pubic eye

C) inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself

D) provide the wearer with a professional identity

59. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.

A) are usually helpful

B) have little or no individual freedom

C) tend to lose their individuality

D) enjoy greater popularity

60. The best title for this passage would be _______.

A) Uniforms and Society

B) The Importance of Wearing a Uniform

C) Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform

D) Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

Passage Two

Questions61 to 65 are based on the following passage,

Electrical engineering plays a great role in navigation aids through electronics and radar loran plays a very important role. Here three fixed transmitters send radio pulses simultaneously. The position of a

ship or an airplane can be determined by measuring the time difference with which these pulses the ship.

Radio range is another example. Five antennas are arranged at the corners and centre of a square and send radio waves in such a way that the pilot at the receiver hears a constant sound if he is on course or the Mores code A or N, depending on whether he is to the right of left of it. The instrument landing system has proven very valuable in guiding an airplane for landing. Here transmitters similar to those in radio rang control, through special equipment on the plane, give the direction as well as the height of the landing plane. Three additional beacons indicate to the plane its position as well as the landing path. The ground control approach is a simpler technique by which the ground knows the exact position of the plane and just notifies the pilot by radio whether or not he is on course.

This technique employs two radars, one with a 30-mile range to search the vicinity of the airport and another of shorter range which is used for the actual landing. Then, of course, there is the radio compass which, with a combination of a transmitter at a known place on the ground and a receiver aboard, gives the airplane or ship its direction. In addition to these, special radars are used by airplane to measure their speed or identify moving targets. The Doppler radar is one example. It is based on the fact that the frequency of a radio wave is increased or decreased depending on whether the transmitter and receiver are moving towards of away from each other. The amount of frequency change can then tell the pilot how fast he is moving with respect to the ground, for example.

61. Besides radar, loran plays a very important role. Here “loran” means __.

A) electrical aids

B) electronics

C) long range navigation

D) navigation radio

62.Five antennas and radio waves to the pilot who hears __.

A) either a constant sound or the Morse code

B) the Morse code A or N

C) a constant sound

D) neither a constant sound nor the Morse code

63. __ give the direction and the height of the landing plane.

A) Radio range controllers

B) Transmitter

C) Similar transmitters

D) Special equipment

64. One of the radars employed in the ground control technique is to detect __ of the airport.

A) the space

B) the length of the runways

C) the inside

D) the nearby area

65. Special radars are used by airplanes to measure their speed or identify moving targets, because the

frequency of a radio wave __.

A) increases

B) decreases

C) changes

D) moves

Passage Three

Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:

The aircraft fuel system stores fuel and delivers the proper amount of clean fuel at the right pressure to the meet demands of the engine. A well-designed fuel system ensures positive and reliable fuel flow throughout all phases of flight. Which include changes in altitude, violent maneuvers, and sudden acceleration and deceleration. Furthermore the system must reasonably free from tendency to vapor lock. Which can result from changes in ground and in-flight climatic conditions. Such indicators as fuel pressure gages warning signals and tank quantity gages are provided to give continuous indications of how the system is functioning.The simplest type of fuel system is gravity feed. Which is still in use on many low-powered airplanes. The fuel tanks are mounted above the carburetor(汽化器), with gravity causing the fuel to flow from the tanks to the carburetor. A selector valve is provided to stop the fuel flow or to select a particular tank in the system from which to draw fuel. A strainer filters the fuel before it reaches the carburetor. A drain is provided for removing water and sediment trapped at the strainer. A primer furnishes the additional fuel required for engine starting.

Airplanes equipped with a high-output engine require a fuel system that supplies fuel to the carburetor at a positive pressure. The basic source for this pressure is an engine-driven fuel pump but auxiliary fuel pumps or booster pumps are required in every pressure feed system for several purposes:(1) To supply fuel pressure for starting the engine;(2) to supply fuel to the primer system;(3) to serve as an emergency pump in case the engine-driven pump fails.

76. Airplanes equipped with a high-output engine require a fuel system that __.

A) supplies fuel to the carburetor at a negative pressure

B) supplies fuel to the carburetor at a positive pressure

C) supplies fuel to the carburetor at neutral pressure

D) supplies fuel to the carburetor at any pressure

67. To ensure continuous indications of how the fuel system is functioning, we require __ provided.

A) the condition of the aircraft

B) the density of the fuel

C) the parameter of the engine

D) fuel pressure gages, warning signals and tank quantity gages.

68. Uxiliary fuel pumps are required in each pressure feed system __.

A) to supply fuel pressure for starting the engine

B) to return fuel to the tank

C) to deliver fuel to lubricate the engine

D) all of the above

69. The aircraft fuel system __.

A) stores fuel to meet the demands of the right pressure

B) needs any amount of clean fuel

C) cleans the fuel

D) stores fuel and supplies certain amount of fuel to the engine

70. According to the passage, the type of fuel system used in the modern large aircraft is __. A) gravity feed

B) pressure feed

C) pressure and gravity feed

D) jettison feed.
