Reading ComprehensionIt was not much fun to travel on one of the old sailing ships. Life was hard for both passengers and crew. In the 17th century, sailing ships were small and roiled(摇荡)heavily in rough seas, so most of the passengers were seasick. There were no toilets, and the spaces below deck where passengers had to stay during gales(狂风)were often not more than 5 foot high. Water was scarce and the little water they got was brown and smelt terrible. Food was a problem, too—there was only salted meat, ship ' s biscuits and cheese, but the cheese was so hard that sailors often made buttons out of it for their jackets and trousers. There were no vegetables or fruit, so the people on board often fell ill. The sailors, however, were a bit better off than the passengers. They each had a bottle of beer a day, and they needed. The work they had to do was hard and dangerous. Courage was needed, for the heavy sails had to be set and taken down in all kinds of weather, and quite often sailors were swept overboard in a gale. Almost the worst thing about the voyages was the time they took up to 70 days for the journey across the Atlantic. Not surprisingly, everybody was overjoyed when they at last approached land and stepped ashore. But some ships never arrived.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.In the 17th century______.A life on old sailing ships was enjoyableB people enjoyed sailing old. ships in rough seasC most of the passengers **fortable when the ship was rollingD it was very painful for both passengers and crew during the voyageSSS_SINGLE_SEL2.The passengers______when the ship was heavily rolling.A slept wellB could drink a lot of waterC had to stay below deckD had a big room of more than 5 foot highSSS_SINGLE_SEL3.Which of the following statements is true?A Passengers had a lot of vegetables, but no fruit.B The sailors had four bottles of beer a day.C The people on the ship often fell ill because of the lack of vegetables and fruit.D The food for the passengers was more and better than that for the crew.SSS_SINGLE_SEL4.Which of the following statements is true?A The sailors often had to set the sails in bad weather.B The sailors had no courage.C The sailors were happy to be swept overboard in a strong wind.D A 70-day-journey across the Atlantic was the sailors' happiest thing.SSS_SINGLE_SEL5.When the people saw the land, ______.A only passengers were gladB the sailors had to swim ashoreC they were surprised at the news that some ships never arrivedD all of them were excitedA lot of people are their own enemies. They regard themselves as unlikely to succeed in college and often feel that there have been no accomplishments in their lives. In my first year of college especially, I saw people get themselves down all too quickly. There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately. From that day on, they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks under their arms. Both students hang on until about mid-term. When they disappeared for good, no one took much notice, for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test. They are not the only people in whom I have seen the self-doubt do its work. I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say, "You are not dead. Be proud and pleased that you have broughtyourself here to college. Be someone. Breathe. Hope. Act. "Such people should not use self-doubts as an excuse for not trying. They should pull themselves together and get to work. They should starttaking notes in class and trying to learn. Above all, they should not give up without even trying.SSS_SINGLE_SEL6.The underlined phrase "get themselves down"(Para. 1)probablymeans______.A tell liesB lose confidenceC avoid dangersD waste timeSSS_SINGLE_SEL7.When the two students dropped out, no one took much noticebecause______.A they had long lost heart in class performanceB they were absent from class too oftenC they didn't get on well with other studentsD they were so much cut off from the rest of the classSSS_SINGLE_SEL8.According to the passage, the two students failed in their study because of their______.A shynessB prideC self-doubtD lazinessSSS_SINGLE_SEL9.The author thinks that the two students should______.A give up their college educationB learn from other studentsC feel happy because they are in collegeD try hard before giving upSSS_SINGLE_SEL10.The underlined sentence "Both students hang on until about mid-term"(Para. 1)tells us that______.A they didn' t study wellB they didn't take part in class activitiesC they didn't take notes in classD they didn' t finish their study that termFirst Great Western provides a convenient and accurate ticket selling service.

It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one' s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of**merce, but its power is still remarkable. Our local grocer' s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of **petition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local newswhile doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend whohappened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for **modity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them?SSS_SINGLE_SEL16.Nowadays **mercial services in the village are______.A still very activeB quickly decliningC unable to flourishD personal to visitorsSSS_SINGLE_SEL17.The local grocer' s shop is expanding because______.A **petition there is weakB it is a place for women to chatC it provides good personal serviceD the goods there are more valuableSSS_SINGLE_SEL18.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A Prices there are much higher.B Customers often have to queue up.C Customers can order by telephone.D Their personal services are satisfactory.SSS_SINGLE_SEL19.How do the village grocer' s assistants feel about giving extra service?A They don' t think it a trouble.B They don't think it worthwhile.C They don't consider it a good deal.D They don't consider it a pleasant experience.SSS_SINGLE_SEL20.One special feature of the village shop is that______.A there is a very wide range of goods availableB customers can order goods by word of mouthC customer have to order goods one hour earlierD there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorsteps3.
