Part II Reading Comprehension <40 points> Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement. Passage One Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its owner didn’t know what to do. The food in his restaurant was cheap and good, but nobody seemed to want to eat there. Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant was always full of men and their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a beautiful menu. The menus looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter handed to the man gave the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine; while the menu that he handed to the lady gave a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous than he really was! <1> The waiter gave a beautiful menu to the guests when a gentleman and his lady friend came into the restaurant.

Darrell Winfield was watching the crew set up the equipment. The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for 50 dollars. \"Hell,\" said Winfield, \"for 50 bucks, I'll jump that damn horse over the moon!\" To people in many countries, Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and a brand of cigarettes. Few people know that he is 55, a family man who's been married to the same woman for 37 years and has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most surprisingly, he's a real, working cowboy who raises horses in his ranch in Wyoming. One of the most striking things about the Marlboro Man is that success hasn't changed him much. He says that complete strangers sometimes come up to him and say, \"I've met you, know you from somewhere. \"Whenever it happens, he says that he gets embarrassed. <1> Marlboro commercials were allowed on television in America before 1868. T F 分值：2 <2> The word \"prohibited\" in the first paragraph mean \"forbidden\". T F 分值：2 4 / 12 . <3> When they filmed the ad, Winfield was too sleepy.

Passage Three In the water around New York city is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a very special statue called the Statue of Liberty. It is one of the most famous sights in the world. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States. The statue was made by a French sculptor named Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The inner support system was designed by Gustave Eiffel, the same man who made the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris. Liberty, of course, means freedom, and the Statue of Liberty was given to the United States to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of U.S independence from England. The statue was built in France, taken apart piece by piece, and then rebuilt in the United States. It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886. As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an elevator from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want, they can then walk up 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York. <1> A good title for this selection is ________.

Passage Four There are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren, which attempt to explain the American English term OK. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting. The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact, he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper, he would write \"all correct\" on it. The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell, so what he really wrote 6 / 12 . was \"ol korekt\". After a while, he shortened that term to \"OK\". The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born, Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become President. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club, and anyone who supported Van Buren was called \"OK\". <1> The author __________. believes both of the stories d oesn’t believe a word of the stories 分值：2 <2> According to the passage, President Jackson __________. couldn’t draw up any documents at all d idn’t like to read important papers by himself 分值：2 <3> According to the second story, the term \"OK\" __________. was approved of by President Jackson w as the title of some official documents 分值：2 <4> According to the second story, the term \"OK\" __________. was the short way to say \"Old Kinderhook Club\" m eant the place where President Van Buren was born 分值：2 <5> According to the second story, the term \"OK\" was first used _________. by Van Buren i n a presidential election 分值：2 7 / 12 . 完全正确 得分：10 6.
