Part Two  Reading Comprehension 

Directions: 

      In this part there are three passages and one listing, each followed by five questions  or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose  the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.  Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage: 

     In fall 2006, the National Basketball Association (NBA) started using basketballs made with  synthetic, or manmade, material instead of leather. They made the switch because they wanted  every basketball they use to feel and bounce (彈起) the same. 

     However, some players complained fight away that the new balls bounced differently and were  actually harder to control than the leather ones. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban asked  for help from the Department of Physics at the University of Texas. The scientists  investigated friction that affects the ability of a player to hold onto a ball. "The greater  the friction, the better it will stick to his hand," explains Horwitz, one of the physicists  who worked on the project.  

     Tests on both wet and dry balls showed that while the plastic ball was easier to grip when  dry, it had less friction and became much harder to hold onto when wet. That's because  sweating stays on the surface of the synthetic balls but gets absorbed into the leather  balls--an important detail for sweaty athletes. 

    In January, the NBA went back to using the traditional leather balls. They aren't  perfect, but for now, that's just the way the ball bounces. 

11. The NBA started using synthetic basket bails instead of leather ones because______, 

　　A. NBA players had used the leather bails for too long a time 

　　B. NBA officials wanted a switch with which to start a reform 

　　C. they emphasized that synthetic materials are manmade 

　　D. they wanted every basketball to feel and bounce the same 

12. How did some NBA players respond to the switch to synthetic balls? 

　　A. They felt that the new balls were worse than the leather ones. 

　　B. They thought differently about the leather balls. 

　　C. They felt much more comfortable with the synthetic balls. 

　　D. They believed the new balls would soon be replaced. 

13. Which of the following contributes to the better control of the balls? 

　　A. Stronger affection.             B. More ownership. 

　　C. Greater friction.               D. Fewer investigations. 

14. When is it harder for an NBA player to hold onto a synthetic bail? 

　　A. When sweating sticks to the ball. 

　　B. when the ball is wetted by water. 

　　C. When tests are done on the ball. 

　　D. When the ball is dried with a towel. 

15. In the last paragraph, "that's just the way the bali bounces" probably means______. 

　　A. tradition offers the best choice 

　　B. the NBA made a mistake 

　　C. the ball bounces as best it can 

　　D. the ball bounces perfectly 

 Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage: 
      A mother dolphin (海豚) chats with her baby over the telephone! They were in  separate tanks connected by a special underwater audio link. "It seemed clear that they  knew who they were talking with," says Don White, whose Project Delphis ran the  experiment. But what were they saying? 

      Scientists think dolphins "talk" about everything from basic facts like their age to  their emotional state. "I speculate that they say things like 'there are some good fish  over here,' or 'watch out for that shark because he's hunting,'" says Denise Herzing,  who studies dolphins in the Bahamas. 

      Deciphering (譯解) "dolphin speak" is also tricky because their language is so  dependent on what they're doing, whether they're playing, fighting, or going after tasty  fish. During fights, for example, dolphins clap (碰撞) their jaws to say "Back off!" But  their jaws clap while playing, too, as if to show who's king of the underwater  playground.

16. How did the mother dolphin talk with her baby over the telephone? 

　　A. Two connected tanks were separated for the talk. 

　　B. A clear voice could be heard in the two separate tanks. 

　　C. Both the mother dolphin and the baby knew each other. 

　　D. A special underwater audio link was set up for the talk. 

17. Dolphins seem to talk to each other about any of the following EXCEPT_______. 

　　A. their age                     B. audio link 

　　C. food sources                  D. their emotional state 

18. Why is it challenging to interpret "dolphin speak"? 

　　A. Because playing and fighting are part of dolphins' life. 

　　B. Because dolphins like to talk about their language. 

　　C. Because dolphins' language heavily relies on their actions. 

　　D. Because tasty fish are difficult for dolphins to catch. 

19. A dolphin might be saying "_____" when it claps its jaws. 

　　A. Go back to your home!         B. I am the king here! 

　　C. Who is playing here!           D. Show me who the king is! 

20. When scientists describe dolphins' communicative skills, their tone is rather_______. 

　　A. affirmative                   B. negative 

　　C. playful                      D. speculative 

 Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage: 

      An American company has started testing a new program aimed at increasing   security. Three workers from CityWatcher.com, a company that provides security   camera equipment, have volunteered to be electronically monitored. They will have a  silicon chip put inside their arms. The tiny device is the size of a grain of rice and will  send out radio signals. These will provide information to a central monitoring system  that will give the workers access to secure areas of the workplace. The chips were  originally designed for medical purposes. 

       Scan Darks, CEO of CityWatcher, said the chips were like identity cards. He said  the only difference is that they are inserted inside the person's body. He added they are   very different from Global Positioning Satellite technology, which allows people's  location to be monitored. Mr. Darks insisted that they were not dangerous and even  decided to have a chip implanted in his own body. However, many people are worded  about the issue of privacy. Many believe the technology could be abused and that new  laws will have to be made. Mr. Darks said his workers can always choose to have the  chips removed. 

21. This passage is mainly about_______.                               

　　A. the test of a new security program 

　　B. the increasing security of U.S. companies 

　　C. a new central monitoring system 

　　D. Global Positioning Satellite technology 

22. The three workers from CityWatcher.com have__________. 

　　A. volunteered to provide security camera equipment 

　　B. offered to be monitored in the new security program 

　　C. agreed to have silicon chips planted in their brain 

　　D. had access to secure areas of their workplace 

23. Which of the following is NOT true about the silicon chips in trial? 

　　A. They are as tiny as a grain of rice. 

　　B. They will send out radio signals. 

　　C. They will be developed for medical uses. 

　　D. They function like identity cards.                                                           

24. The chips are different from the Global Positioning Satellite technology in that__________ 

　　A. they allow people's location to be monitored 

　　B. they are inserted into a person's body as ID cards 

　　C. they provide information to a central monitoring system 

　　D. they bring more danger to the carriers 

25. Many people are worried about the silicon chips because 

　　A. the new technology may intrude on people's privacy 

　　B. they cannot get the implanted chips removed 

　　C. the new laws about the technology might be abused 

　　D. they are not assured of the effect of the chips
