2017中級英語翻譯資格考試閲讀理解練習題及答案
試題一
Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of flats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus (對,對抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (設想) that everyone prefers an individual home and on the high cost per unit of accommodation. The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident.

A) English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats
B) people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats

A) They were mostly inhabited by people who did not earn much.
B) They were usually not large enough to accommodate big families.
C) They were sold to people before necessary facilities were installed.
D) They provided playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings.(A)
33. The word “rage” (Line 9) means ________.

B) it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses
C) they believe people like to live in houses with gardens
D) the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats(C)
35. The author mentions that people who live in suburban houses ________.
A) do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city
B) have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work
C) take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community
D) have to spend more money and time travelling to work every day(D)
試題二
Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.
For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies (策略) we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a process conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a content conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.
31. Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when ________.
A) the reader’s expectations agree with what is said in the text
B) the reader has trouble understanding what the author says
C) the reader asks questions and gets answers
D) the reader understands a text very well(B)
32. At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to ________.
A) read a text slowly B) read without thinking hard
C) interpret a text in their own way D) concentrate on the meaning of words only(D)
33. A “process” conversation has to do with ________.
A) the application of reading strategies B) matching our expectations with the meaning of a text
C) the development of our ability to check the details D) determining the main idea of a text(A)
34. According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between ________.
A) conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension
B) the reader’s expectations and the meaning of a text
C) lower and higher levels of comprehension
D) interpreting and criticizing a text(C)
35. If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should ________.
A) learn to use different approaches in reading different texts
B) make our reading process more conscious
C) pay more attention to the content of a text
D) take a critical attitude towards the author’s idea(A)
