Reading Comprehension (20 points)Passage 1The world we live in gets more mechanized every yea. Some countries which were mainly agricultural a hundred years ago have now become industrial. There are fewer farmers to serve a much greater population, so these farms must be more efficient in order to produce as much food as possible. Unfortunately, many of the scenic aspects of farming are disappearing in the search for efficiency. The more tractors are use, the fewer horses are needed. Everyone agrees that horses are far more pleasant to look at than tractors, but they are less efficient. Cows are milked by machinery nowadays, and even pigs are fed automatically. There is not much art or poetry on the modern farm, and the old idea of a farm as a slow, peaceful, romantic place is totally wrong nowadays.The modern farmer has to be a mechanic, a scientist and an accountant（會計）. He must understand what machinery is necessary for his kind of farm; he must know the new technical advances in agriculture and how to use chemical products to improve his crops. Although he has more modern equipment and far more scientific aids than his grandfather had ,the farmer is still dependent on the weather. As he can never be sure what the weather will do, he must be prepared to take risks, and face the possibility of losing everything.21. According to the writer, modern farms _.A. must be more and more efficient than before B. can not produce as much food as before C. need fewer machine and workers than before D. become less beautiful and pleasant than before 22. The writer seems to imply that _.A. it is a wrong idea to work on the modern farm B. modern farms are more ideal than old farms C. modern farms lack the peaceful atmosphere D. modern farming is not an art at all 23. A modern farmer must know science and _.A. learn to write reports B. the ways to increase the crops C. agricultureD. dare to take risks 24. Although the farms are getting more mechanized, _ is still important.A. modern equipment B. weather C. chemicals D. scientific aids 25. It is known in the passage that_.A. it is very competitive to be a modern farmer B. modern farmers may not be happy working there C. machinery can sometimes cause other problems D. sometimes farmers probably fail in getting crops Passage 2Many visitors to the United States find that the fast pace at which people move is very troubling. Ones first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always seem to be hurrying to get where they are going. And they are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers will rush you ; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles and brief conversations with people when you shop or dine in a restaurant. Do not think it is because Americans are in such a hurry that they are unfriendly. Life is often much slower outside the big cities, which is true in other countries as well.Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that every one is equally in a hurry to get things done. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you.26. Visitors to the United States possibly feel that city people of the country are very_.A. busy B. kind C. troubling D. patient27. In American big cities, people rarely_.A. smile to each other B. move at a fast pace C. chat with each other in a shop D. dine away from home28. According to the writer, American people are_.A. unfriendly only when they are shoppingB. actually friendly to foreign visitorsC. indeed cold to foreign visitorsD. in no hurry when walking in the street29.Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?A. Life pace is different inside and outside big cities.B. Life pace is quite slow in other parts of the world.C. Life pace is the same in different parts of the world.D.
