Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark
the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the
center.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Psychologist George Spilich and colleagues at Washington College in Chestertown,
Maryland, decided to find out whether, as many smokers say, smoking helps them to
“think and concentrate. Spilich put young non-smokers, active smokers and smokers
deprived (被剥夺) of cigarettes through a series of tests.
In the first test, each subject (试验对象) sat before a computer screen and pressed a
key as soon as he or she recognized a target letter among a grouping of 96. In this simple
test, smokers, deprived smokers and non-smokers performed equally well.
The next test was more complex, requiring all to scan sequences of 20 identical
letters and respond the instant one of the letters transformed into a different one.
Non-smokers were faster, but under the stimulation of nicotine (尼古丁), active smokers
were faster than deprived smokers.
In the third test of short-term memory, non-smokers made the fewest errors, but
deprived smokers committed fewer errors than active smokers.
The fourth test required people to read a passage, then answer questions about it.
Non-smokers remembered 19 percent more of the most important information than active
smokers, and deprived smokers bested those who had smoked a cigarette just before
testing. Active smokers tended not only to have poorer memories but also had trouble
separating important information from insignificant details.
“As our tests became more complex,” sums up Spilich, “non-smokers performed
better than smokers by wider and wider margins” He predicts, “smokers might perform
adequately at many jobs-until they got complicated. A smoking airline pilot could fly
adequately if no problems arose, but if something went wrong, smoking might damage
his mental capacity.”
21. The purpose of George Spilich’s experiments is ________.
A) to test whether smoking has a positive effect on the mental capacity of smokers
B) to show how smoking damages people’s mental capacity
C) to prove that smoking affects people’s regular performance
D) to find out whether smoking helps people’s short-term memory
22. George Spilich’s experiment was conducted in such a way as to ________.
A) compel the subjects to separate major information from minor details
B) put the subjects through increasingly complex tests
C) check the effectiveness of nicotine on smokers
D) register the prompt responses of the subjects
23. The word “bested” (Line 3, Para. 5) most probably means ________.
A) beat
B) envied
C) caught up with
D) made the best of
24. Which of the following statements is true?
