[A] sensation [B] cause [C] purpose [D] motive Part II Reading Comprehension(35%) Directions: There are 5 reading 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. Passage One The failed Skylad will come screaming home to earth in rage and disappointment sometime next month, but it will fall we know not where. That precise information is beyond even the calculations of the talented scientists and their massive computers. The best they can tell us is that the space station, weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12-story building, will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a global track 100 miles wide and 4,000 miles long. We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures, or misadventures, of science that diverts our attention from the commonplace and boring chores of daily existence and encourages us to think thoughts about the eternal verities (truths)—longer, perhaps, than we care to think. What worries Richard Smith, Skylab’s director, is the “big pieces” that will come through the atmosphere. Two chunks ,weighing 2 tons each, and 10, weighing at least 1,000 pounds each, will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour, and if they crash on land they will dig pits up to 100 feet deep. What worries us, with our lack of scientific knowledge and imagination, are both the big and little pieces, although project officials say there is a very small chance that anyone will be injured by the falling pieces. That’s good to know, but not quite as reassuring as the million-to-one odds quoted against the nuclear accident that happened at Three Mile Island. 51. “Odds”( last line but one)most probably refers to________. [A]the probability that something will or will not happen [B]disadvantage [C]the opposite of even [D]something not important 52.This passage expresses _________.

[A]the dangers of the Skylab fall have been exaggerated [B]it’s useless to worry over things you can’t do anything about [C]the Skylab fall will be exciting [D]the danger from Skylab’s fall has been underestimated 54.
