III. Reading Comprehension (35 points)
Passage One (1*5=5 points)
Can trees talk? Yes, but not in words, Scientists have reason to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree attacked in the woods by caterpillars (毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that they got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. Then even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special smell--a signal causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words we talk to each other by raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of song, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain places that tell other bees where to find nectar (花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn't trees have ways of spreading message?

A. are lying on the ground

Passage Two (1*5=5 points)
Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.
Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburg. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food, when some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered."We come from Hamburg," One of this Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea.

Passage Four (2*5=10 points)
When a customer finds that an item he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to manufacture’s claim for it, the first step to present the warranty（保单）or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the "higher up" the consumer takes his or her complaint to, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled, in such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim. Consumers should complain in person whenever possible. But if they can’t get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write de complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than "This stereo (立体声音响)does not work."
The store manager may advise the consumer to write the manufacture. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers' rights.

Passage Five (2*5=10 points)
Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made.
Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most people’s lives. It alters people’s way of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains modem life. Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of a culture, a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer, the poor quality of programming does not elevate people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life it exits.
The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in American began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs.
Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers went to attack the largest viewing audience possible. To do so requires that they requires rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging.
Television in America today remains to a large circle, with the organization and Standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the modern system.

62. The second paragraph is mainly about________.
A. TV as the sustainer of American life

A. be critical but entertaining
B. be creative and educational
C. change with the development of society
D. attract as many views as possible
64. The author believes that television in the United States has become important to most people because ______.
A. it promote family unity
B. it helps them develop their speaking ability
