Part 6 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 long vacation I was accepted as a bus conductor. I
lasted about three weeks. The routes through town were more than the mind could stand even in the off-peak hours. All the buses from our station and every other station would be crawling nose to tail through the town while the entire working population of Sydney fought to get aboard. It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so
jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. There was no hope of collecting any fares. At each stop it was all I could do to reach the bell that signaled the driver to close the automatic doors and get going. I had no way of telling whether anybody had
managed to get on or off. My one object was to get that bus up Pitt Street.
In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were emanating (来自) from within the bus. The back set of automatic doors had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time.
When I at last caught on to the fact that something was happening and signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors, whereupon the woman dropped to the road.
1.
B. During off-peak hours only.
C. During his vacation.
D. Every summer.
2.
B. The weather was so hot.
C. He couldn't get inside the door.
D. He had to ring the bell.
3.
B. Collect the fares.
What did the author try to do above all else? A. Close the door. What made it difficult for the author to collect fares? A. The bus was too crowded. When did the author work as a bus conductor? A. Three weeks ago.
C. Ring the bell.
D. Get up Pitt Street.
4.
B. He couldn't be blamed for the troubles.
C. The doors on the bus should be automatic.
D. People shouldn't yell on the bus.
5.
B. She opened the bus doors while the bus was moving.
C. She got her head caught in the bus doors.
D. She signaled the bus driver to stop.
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Most episodes of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a simple lack of attention, says Schacter.
Encoding, Schacter explains, is special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impact on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don't pay attention to what you did because you're involved in a conversation, you'll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜).
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness.

Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you're there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else.
6. Why does the author think that encoding properly is very
important?
A. It helps us understand our memory system better.
B. It enables us to recall something from our memory.
C. It expands our memory capacity considerably.
D. It slows down the process of losing our memory.
7. One possible reason why women have better memories than
men is that ________.
A. they have a wider range of interests
B. they are more reliant on the environment
C. they have an unusual power of focusing their attention
D. they are more interested in what's happening around them
8. A note in the pocket can hardly serve as a reminder because
________.
A. it will easily get lost
B. it's not clear enough for you to read
C. it's out of your sight
D. it might get mixed up with other things
9.
What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. If we focus our attention on one thing, we might forget
another.
B. Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.
C. Repetition helps improve our memory.
D. It we keep forgetting things, we'd better return to where we were.
10.
What is the passage mainly about?
A. The process of gradual memory loss.
B. The causes of absent-mindedness.
C. The impact of the environment on memory.
D. A way of encoding and recalling.
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. The term
popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a
The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in
communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady (弊病), future shock. Future shock is brought on by
the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.
Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down
suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to—different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others. Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an
entire generation—including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members—suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失方向), future shock on a grand scale.
This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching (把……淹没) upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.
11.
Culture shock occurs when ________.
A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environment
B. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he
intends to express
C. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value
standards
D. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices
12. Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as
________.
A. it concerns the problems of the future
B. it affects people on a grand scale
C. it causes personal insults
D. it destroys the foundation of the society
13. The word
that ________.
A. puzzles an individual
B. disturbs an individual's normal way of life
C. helps an individual to function in society
D. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture
14.
One effective way to prevent future shock is to ________.
A. get people prepared for future change
B. keep people informed of foreign cultures
C. have people resist possible future change
D. acquaint people with the harm of future change
15. It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is
