Part 3: Reading Comprehension (20%)
Passage 1
The human nose has given to the languages of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that givens a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man – courteous, manly and intellectual.
A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose! Blaise Pascal, a French philosopher, made an interesting comment about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!
Historically, man’s nose has had a principal role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions. Expressions concerning the nose refer to human weakness: anger, pride, jealousy, and revenge.
In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, to hold up one’s nose expresses a basic human feeling—pride. A man can hold up his noses at people, things and places if he thinks he is better than others, that he is something special.
The phrase, to be led around by the nose, shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.
For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase to have one’s nose put out of joint is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. For instance, an older child may feel rejected when its mother holds a new-born baby in her arms – its nose has been “put out of joint”. Grownups feel the same way when not invited to special dinners or a friend’s birthday party.
This is only a sampling of expressions in English dealing with the nose. There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling!
81. The purpose of this article is to _____.
A talk about the use of the nose
D give some examples about how the expressions dealing with the nose are used
B introduce some expressions concerning the nose
C explain the relation between the nose on your face and that used in different expressions
（82）单选题
. According to Cyrano de Bergerac, a man with large nose shows that he is _____.
C courageous, intelligent, powerful and emotional
D courageous, strong-minded, courteous and clever

A great, special, handsome and daring
（83）单选题
. From the text, we may guess that Cleopatra’s nose must have been very _____.

C beautiful
A short
（84）单选题
. The phrase about the nose expressing pride is _____.
A to hold up one’s nose
D to have one’s nose put out of joint
C to be led around by the nose
B to follow one’s nose
（85）单选题
. It is evident that _____.
B the nose on your face is a plain organ only for breathing and smelling
D the nose is not only an organ but also something important in language
C the nose is used in many English expressions for it is an organ for breathing and smelling.
A the expressions about the nose are quite plain

Passage 2
Early Autumn
When Bill was very young, they had been in love. Many nights they had spent walking, talking together. Then something not very important had come between them, and they didn’t speak. Impulsively, she had married a man she thought she loved. Bill went away, bitter about women.
Yesterday, walking across Washington Square, she saw him for the first time in years.
“Bill Walker,” she said.
He stopped. At first he did not recognize her, to him she looked so old.
“Mary! Where did you come from?”
Unconsciously, she lifted her face as though wanting a kiss, but he held out his hand. She took it.
“I live in New York now,” she said.
“Oh,—Smiling politely, then a little frown came quickly between his eyes.
“Always wondered what happened to you, Bill.”
“I’m a lawyer. Nice firm, way downtown.”
“Married yet?”
“Sure. Two kids.”
“Oh,” she said.
A great many people went past them through the park. People they didn’t know. It was late afternoon. Nearly sunset. Cold.
“And your husband?” he asked her.
“We have three children. I work in the bursar’s office at Columbia.”
“You are looking very…” (he wanted to say old) “…well,” he said.
She understood. Under the trees in Washington Square, she found herself desperately reaching back into the past. She had been older than he then in Ohio. Now she was not young at all. Bill was still young.
“We live on Central Park West,” she said. “Come and see us sometime.”
“Sure,” he replied. “You and your husband must have dinner with my family some night. Any night. Lucille and I’d love to have you.”
The leaves fell slowly from the tree in the Square. Fell without wind. Autumn dusk. She felt a little sick.
“We’d love it,” she answered.
“You ought to see my kids.” He grinned.
Suddenly the lights came on up the whole length of Fifth Avenue, chains of misty brilliance in the blue air.
“There’s my bus,” she said.
He held out his hand. “Goodbye.”
“When…”, she wanted to say, but the bus was ready to pull off. The lights on the avenue blurred, twinkled, blurred. And she was afraid to open her mouth as she entered the bus. Afraid it would be impossible to utter a word.
Suddenly she shrieked very loudly, “Good-bye!” But the bus door had closed.
The bus started. People came between them outside, people crossing the street, people they didn’t know. Space and people. She lost sight of Bill. Then she remembered she had forgotten to give him her address—or to ask him for his—or tell him that her youngest boy was named Bill, too.

Passage 3
Break the Ice
In many places, ice is as widely used as bread, and it would be surprising indeed if ice did not give birth to many special phrases.
The phrases are river-born. Winter often leaves a small river so much solid ice that some boats cannot get through. The crews of such boats in times past chopped through the ice with hand axes to get the boat moving. Later, the thick ice was broken up by power machines. And that is how the expressions, “to break the ice,” got started. It meant, to make your first move, to do something for the first time; it was not possible until the ice was broken.
For example, one sometimes hears a salesman say that he has not yet “broken the ice.” What he really is saying is that he has not yet begun.
Later, the expression developed another meaning, covering a relationship between people. When you have not broken the ice with someone, you have not yet cleared the way to his trust in you, to his friendship. You still remain a stranger to him, until you do. You must get through to him, just as the small boats had to clear the river's ice jam.
While “to break the ice,” was imported from Britain, the expression, “to cut no ice,” was born in American waters. This is the story:
In the early 1800’s, an American businessman developed the idea of shipping ice to hot places where they had none even in winter. His plan was successful and he made a great deal of money shipping ice to American cities in the South.
Soon, we are told, many others began to ship ice as if it were a crop. Large crews went to work cutting up the ice with long saws. The work was hard and the weather was often bitter cold.
Many of the men naturally enjoyed the warmth of the campfires, which took the stiffness out of their frozen fingers. They could never get enough of those warm flames.
Some, perhaps, spent a little too much time around the fire and were caught doing so. What could they say, except that they were just getting ready to go back to work?
But that did not soften their angry boss. He told them in strong language that such use of their time around the fire “cut no ice.”
And from that came the expression as it is used today. Now, when you tell someone that he "cuts no ice" with you, you are making certain things clear to him—that you are not moved or impressed or influenced by him in any way. You are putting it to him straight--that he is getting nowhere with you.
"Skating on thin ice" is something else again. This means that a man may be doing or saying something risky. It might be offensive and get him into trouble. Thin ice is not much support; if he is not more careful, he may sink right through.
In sports or any other kind of contest, you will hear the phrase, "The game is on ice" or "It is iced up." This simply means that the game is really over, that one side is so far ahead that the other cannot catch up. There is no longer any doubt as who the winner will be.

Passage 4
Personal Space
Alice and Jimmy are facing one another. As she steps backward, he steps forward. Then he takes another step forward, and she turns outward. He then turns outward, and she turns toward him and takes a step in his direction. He turns back toward her and also moves forward. They pause for a second, and each moves backward and turns slightly away from the other.
Have Alice and Jimmy learned the latest disco dance? Were they playing tennis or softball? No, Alice and Jimmy were simply carrying on a conversation about their English professor. In addition to expressing their ideas through words, they were communicating nonverbally through their use of space and personal distance. Each was attempting to maintain a certain distance from the other, although their preferred distances were not always the same. Sometimes Alice wanted more space than Jimmy, and sometimes Jimmy wanted more space than Alice. These differences led to the fancy footwork of moving backward and forward, inward and outward. Each person’s preferred distance also changed throughout the conversation. When Alice disagreed with Jimmy, he wanted more space; when she flirted, he wanted less distance between them.
The distance or space that Alice and Jimmy were manipulating is called personal space and is the three-dimensional area of space is a portable territory with invisible boundaries that expand or contract depending on the situation. Individuals carry it around with them constantly and position themselves in conversations in a way that will maintain it. Julie needs very little personal space and is constantly moving closer to people in order to reach the distance she prefers. Sandy, on the other hand, needs more personal space and frequently finds herself backed up against walls as a result of trying to move away from people. Each tries to maintain her personal space, although she may not always be successful.
The purpose and function of personal space have been analyzed. Jimmy stands 4 feet from his boss, 8 feet from his congressman, 2 feet from his mother, and 10 inches from his girlfriend. Why is his personal space different for each person? According to this theory, Jimmy’s body-bufferzone is greatest for the congressman because the congressman is very intimidating to him. On the other hand, his girlfriend is least threatening to him so he maintains the smallest distance with her.
Perhaps, the most important characteristic of personal space is that it is variable. Some people need more personal space than others. Furthermore, our personal space needs vary depending on our sex, age, cultural background, and relationship to the people with whom we are interacting.
Another important characteristic of personal space is that it interacts with other dimensions of nonverbal communication. For example, our perception and use of space depends on whether people are standing, sitting, or lying down. They also depend on whether we are facing or turned away from one another, how much touching can and does occur, how much of each other we physically can see, how loud our voices are, and whether or not body odors or heat can be detected. Mary may feel “too close” to Tom even though she is 6 feet away from him. However, even at that distance she can smell unpleasant body smells; her ears hurt from his loud voice; and she doesn’t like the fact that he is looking directly into her eyes. Mark, on the other hand, does not feel too close to Jane, even though they are only 8 inches apart. However, they are sitting back to back, cannot see one another, and are having difficulty in hearing one another.
Several different factors are thought to influence personal-space needs. The most obvious one is perhaps relationship between people. Some researchers identified four distinct categories of informal space associated with four different types of relationships. According to these researchers, personal space can be divided into 4 categories: intimate, casual-personal, sicioconsultive, and public. Intimate distance, from 0 to 18 inches, is used by people who are involved with one another on a personal level. Causal-personal distance, from 1.5 to 4 is conducted from 4 to 8 feet, or at a socio-consultive distance. Finally, public distance ranged from 8 feet to the limits of a person’s vision or hearing.
Another obvious factor influencing personal space is personality. Although the findings have been inconclusive, the research has been very conclusive in the related area of personality problems. The research related to it supports the opinion that the boundaries of personal space represent “body-buffer zones” used to protect people from emotional and physical threats.
