Each passage is followed by a number of questions for comprehension. Read the passages carefully and answer the questions. Passage One Long before the first Europeans arrived in America, a strange looking animal lived on the western plains. It looked somewhat like a water buffalo(北美洲野牛) It had a hump(驼峰) like a camel and a mane(鬃)like a lion. It preferred to eat the rich grass of the plains. The official name of the strange animal is the American Bison. However, nearly everyone calls it a buffalo. In the early days, millions of buffalo moved freely across the continent. They were powerful animals and ran with great speed. The Indians hunted them for food and clothing. In the 19th century, white men hunted the bison for their skins. They seldom killed the bison for meat. One famous frontiersman, however, Buffalo Bill Cody hunted buffalo for meat. The railroads used the meat to feed their workers. The American buffalo could run at a speed of almost 75 kilometers an hour. He was difficult to hurt because he was always for a fight. There were times when five or six bullets would not kill him, and buffalo hunters sometimes had a lot of trouble killing the animal. The buffaloes were hard to control and the hunters would get confused or feel helpless. Finally, in the west the expression, to buffalo, came to mean to make one helpless or to confuse and trick It is still used today. When a person has you "buffaloed", he has you in his power. You're helpless! 51. When did the bison begin to live on the western plains of America? A. When the European immigrated to America. B. Long before the first Europeans arrived in America. C. After the Europeans immigrated to America. D. A short time before the first Europeans arrived in America. 52. The bison looks like a _ . A. lion B. camel C. water buffalo D. tiger 53. White men hunted the buffalo _ . A. for their workers B. for their meat C. for theft hunters D. for their skins 54. Why was American Bison difficult to hurt? A. Because he was always for a fight. B. Because he could nm fast. C. Because he was too thick to be caught. D. Because his look was odd enough to frighten away the hunters. 55. “To be buffaloed” means _ A. to run as fast as a buffalo B. to be helpless or be confused C. to be caught for amusement D. to be as special as a buffalo Passage Two Personal interviewing is most effective, when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively small geographical area. Otherwise, the time and expense spent in traveling from one person to another makes this type of interviewing economically impractical. Personal interviewing is usually used when the information needed is too complex to be gathered by another technique. For example, a problem being studied may require the interviewer to probe beyond the more superficial answers that might be obtained with another method. It is sometimes assumed that personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques. Although personal interviewing may be accurate, in many cases, human errors may prevent a researcher from obtaining valid results. Questions perceived by the interviewee as an invasion of privacy or threatening in any way will probably produce false or partially true answers. Also, since the interviewer must interpret the respondent's statements, a certain amount of information loses results even though the respondent may be answering truthfully. In spite of the problems, at least two major advantages are provided by this research technique. First, the alert interviewer can generally tell if the respondent is being truthful or if he or she is giving superficial or untrue responses. Second, the interviewer can rephrase questions, give more explanations, or probe more deeply if the initial questions do not produce the information desired. As a result, the information gleaned should be more accurate than that provided by interviews where no one is present to clarify questions or to interpret answers. 56. It can be concluded from the passage that when all the people to be interviewed are located in a relatively big geographical area_______. A. personal interviewing is most effective B. personal interviewing is economically impractical C. personal interviewing is the only technique to get information D. telephone interviewing may not be used 57. Sometimes a researcher cannot get valid results because_______ . A. the information needed is too complex to be gathered B. personal interviewing is the most accurate of all survey research techniques C. personal interviewing is not as effective as other research techniques D. both interviewer and interviewee may make mistakes during the interview 58. In the second paragraph, the phrase "an invasion of pri
