Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part。 Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements。 For each of them there are four choices marked A)， B)， C) and D)。 You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre。
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
The failed Skylab will come screaming home to earth in disappointment sometime next month， but it will fall we know not where。
That precise information is beyond even the calculations of scientists and their computers。
The best they can tell us is that the space station， weighing 77 tons and as high as a 12-story building， will break into hundreds of pieces that will be scattered across a track 100 miles wide and 4，000 miles long。
We are again exposed to one of those unexpected adventures， or misadventures， of science that attracts our attention from the boring routines of daily existence and encourages us to think a lot about man's future。
What worries Richard Smith， the Skylab's director， is the 'big pieces' that will come through the atmosphere。 Two lumps， weighing 2 tons each， and ten， weighing at least 1，000 pounds each， will come in at speeds of hundreds of miles an hour， and if they crash on land they will dig holes up to 100 feet deep。
