Part Two Reading Comprehension
在职研究生考试条件（20题，每题2分，满分40分）
Directions:
In this part there are four passages, each followed questions. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and transfer your answer to the ANSWER SHEET.
Questions 11—15 are based on the following passage:
The economy in the United States is heavily dependent on aluminum, a material widely used in the construction of buildings and in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet the demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue Univer
sity may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.
Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily "paramagnetic", or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field. This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.
11.The passage focuses on    .
A.construction and manufacturing industry in the United States
B.new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor ores
C.consumption and production of aluminum in the United States
D.the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States
答案C。本题考查的是对短文主旨大意的理解。首段说的是美国对铝的需求及其 来源，第二段讲述了一种新的提取铝的方法。故C、consumption and production of aluminum in the United States最符合题意，A、B、D虽然提到与短文有关的内 容，但都不够全面。
12.It is believed that a new technique to    will probably be found.
A.recycle old aluminum products
B.discover more bauxite ores
C.make aluminum by putting ore particles under water
D.take out aluminum magnetically from poorer ores
答案Do本题的依据是第一段最后一句，关键部分是Poorer ores, have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically o
13.In the second paragraph the word “paTamagnetic" means    .
A.slightly magnetic
B.a weak magnetic field
C.a strong magnetic substance
D.the under-water magnetic power
答案A。这是个词汇题。解这种题需要先到该词所在的句子，答案往往从中可 以读出。Paramagnetic在第二段首句，句子后半部分的or very weakly responsive to a magnetic field 就是解释，故选 A. slightly magnetic o
14.By immersing ore particles in water,    .
A.we can get ore particles of equal size
B.we can purify aluminum particles
C.we can filter out aluminum
D.we can improve the working conditions around
答案 Co 本题的依据是最后一句 It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import.显然，扌巴矿粒进入水 中的做法目的只有一个，即提取铝。故选C。
15.We understand from the passage that the United States    .
A.is rich in low-grade aluminum-beating ores
B.is short of aluminum-making techniques
C.has to import ninety percent of its annual need of aluminum
D.has to produce fifty percent of the world's supply to meet its annual aluminum demand
答案A。这是一个细节题，答案依据是第一段第四句Poorer ores are abundant in the United States …
