Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Passage 1

Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on--- but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.

By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War. Einstein hated violence. The misery of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1948 was he able to get back to work.

In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whilhem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Naziism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.

1. The main idea of paragraph 1 is _______.

A. the time it will take people to appreciate Einstein B. the feelings of an American college president C. the change in human thought produced by Einstein D. the difficulty of Einstein's thought to teachers

2. According to the American university president, _______. A. everyone understands Einstein's theory today

B. Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in history C. the theory of relativity can be quickly learned by everyone

D. our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein

3. According to paragraph 4 Albert Einstein ________. A. was a famous chemist B. headed a research institute C. was popular in America

D. enjoyed reading about the war

5

4. According to the passage Einstein did his greatest work ________. A. during world War I B. as a young man C. when Naziism rose D. between 1906-1915

5. It may be concluded that _______.

A. Albert Einstein had no other interests than science B. Einstein was forced to serve in the German army C. Germans usually have a high respect for science

D. his reputation was ruined because of his work during World War I

Passage 2

Albert Einstein once attributed the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he never went to school, and therefore preserved the rare gift of thinking freely. There is undoubtedly a truth in Einstein's observation; many artists and genius seem to view their schooling as a disadvantage. But such a truth is not a criticism of schools.It is the function of schools to civilize, not to train explorers. The explorer is always a lonely individual whether his or her pioneering (研究) be in art, music, science or technology. The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with the genius what William James described as the \"faculty of perceiving in an unhabitual way. \" In so far as schools teach perceptual patterns they tend to destroy creativity and genius. But if school could somewhat exist solely to cultivate genius, then society would break down. For the social order demands unity and widespread agreement, both traits(特点) that are destructive (破坏的) to creativity. There will always be conflict between the demands of society and the impulses (冲动) of creativity and genius.

6. Albert Einstein once thought that schools ______ A. helped develop the creativity of a scientist B. preserved a rare gift for scientists

C. prevented a scientist from thinking freely D. contributed a lot to science and technology

7. To the author's opinion, schooling meets the need of ______. A. genius B. social order

C. faculty of perceiving D. the impulses of creativity

8. There will always be contradiction (矛盾) between ______. A. the demands of society and schooling

B. cultivation of creativity and faculty of perceiving C. social unity and schooling

D. creativity and widespread social agreement

9. Einstein's observation is in accord (一致)with ______. A. the schoolmaster's B. the author's C. that of many artists D. both B and C.

6

10. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. Einstein and artists have said schools limit creativity and genius. B. Schools should be designed to encourage creativity and social order.

C. Explorers and geniuses look at the world differently from the way most people do. D. Schools can never satisfy the needs of both genius and society as a whole.

Passage 3

Tourists were surprised to see a woman driving a huge orange tractor down one of Rome's main avenues. Italy's political leaders and some of its male union chiefs are said to have been even more puzzled to see that the tractor was followed by about 200, 000 women in a parading procession that took more than three hours to snake through central Rome.

Shouting slogans, waving flags and dancing to drumbeats, the women had come to the capital from all over Italy to demonstrate for \"a job for each of us, a different type of job, and a society without violence\". So far, action to improve women's opportunities in employment has been the province of collective industrial bargaining. \"But there is a growing awareness that this is not enough,\" says a researcher on female labor at the government-funded Institute for the Development of Professional Training for workers.

Women, who constitute 52 per cent of Italy's population, today represent only 35 per cent of Italy's total workforce and 33 per cent of the total number of Italians with jobs. However, their presence in the workplace is growing. The employment of women is expanding considerably in services, next to the public administration and commerce as their principal workplace. Official statistics also show that women have also made significant strides in self-employment. More and more women are going into business for themselves.

Many young women are turning to business because of the growing overall unemployment. It is also a fact that today many prejudices have disappeared, so that banks and other financial institutes make judgements on purely business consideration without caring if it is a man or a woman.

Such changes are occurring in the professions too. The number of women doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers and university professors increased two to threefold. Some of the changes are immediately visible. For example, women have appeared on the scene for the first time as state police, railway workers and street cleaners. However, the present situation is far from satisfactory though some progress has been made. A breakthrough in equal opportunities for women is now demanded.

11. The expression \"snake through central Rome\"probably means \"to move______\". A. quietly through central Rome B. violently through central Rome

C. in a long winding line through central Rome D. at a leisurely pace through central Rome

12. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. There are more women than men in Italy.

B. In Italy, women are chiefly employed in services.

7

C. In Italy, women are still at a disadvantage in employment. D. In Italy, about two-thirds of the jobs are held by men.

13. About 200,000 women in Rome demonstrated for _______.

A. more job opportunities B. a greater variety of jobs C. \"equal job, equal pay\" D. both A and B

14. Women can get financial help from banks and financial institutes because ________. A. they are women

B. sex means nothing to banks and financial institutes any longer C. women are more reliable than men D. men have less credit

15. The best title for this passage would be ______. A. The Role of Women in Society

B. Women Demonstrate for Equality in Employment C. Women as Self-employed Professionals D. Women and the Jobs Market

Passage 4

A white-haired elderly gentleman steps out of his car, briefcase in hand and coat over arm. He has called from the office to say that he will be home shortly. His wife is preparing dinner. He can see the light shining inside his own front door. He looks forward to a fire and his slippers. It is a cold night. A few seconds later he is lying on the icy sidewalk in a pool of his own blood.It does not happen very often, but it did happen last week in the national capital of the United States. Senator Stennis was the victim of a classic street crime. He happened to be an important politician, but that is not why he was shot. What happened to him could happen to anyone else.

Senator Stennis, who is 71, got out of his white car at 7: 40 p. m, outside his home at 3609 Cumberland Street. Two youths said, \"Get'em up\". He put up no resistance. He handed over his wallet containing credit cards, driver's license, and the like, a gold watch and all the cash he had in his pockets - twenty-five cents. The youths said either \"Now we're going to shoot you anyway, \" or \"We ought to shoot you anyway.\" Anyway they did. One bullet hit him in the thigh and struck the bone, and the other entered his chest just below the breast pocket of his suit. It narrowly missed his heart.

Senator Stennis is a powerful political figure, but it is unlikely that the two young men knew who he was. More likely his offense was that he had no more cash than a quarter- not enough for a taking of drugs or two cups of coffee. 16. This incident took place in _______ .

A. New York City B. Washington D. C C. San Francisco D.Los Angeles 17. Senator Stennis was shot when he was _______.

A. going to work B. coming home from work C. going out for the evening D. going out for a walk

8

18. What happened to Senator Stennis could happen to _____ __.

A. other old men B. other politicians C. anyone else D. other young men 19. We may infer from the passage that Senator Stennis didn't try to fight off the attackers because _____.

A. he knew an old man couldn't overpower young men

B. he didn't think the youths would hurt him if he gave them his wallet C. both a. & b

D. he knew a young man couldn't overpower an old man

20.The youths shot Senator probably because _____ . A. he didn't have much cash to give them B. he laughed at them

C. they belonged to a different political party D. none of these

Passage 5

In spite of all stories of prosperity in the United States, not only does poverty exist there, but crimes of various types have been increasing at an alarming rate.

Most types of serious crime increased from 363,5 in every 100, 000 people in 1970 to 535,5 in 1979. In that one year, there was one murder committed in every 24 minutes, one case of robbery in every 10 minutes and one case of rape in every 7 minutes. The cases of murder involved a number of 21, 456 victims. Most acts of violence were committed by young people. 57% of the criminals arrested in 1979 were youths below 25 of age.

Everyone agrees that crime is partly a result of bad material conditions: poverty, lack of education, living without a settled home, being parentless, sufferings from other kinds of misfortune, etc.

There are also other factors than material conditions which are responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate. In the first place, some state laws provide for a death penalty but some not. Secondly,the Constitution allows every citizen to carry weapons for his own protection. It is therefore possible and easy for anyone in the country to get a gun. Finally, there has been too much shown on TV and too much reported in newspaper of all kinds of crime---the details of which are so accurately described that even children know how to duplicate what they have seen or read. All these have resulted in a higher frequency of crimes committed both by professional criminals and by nonprofessional ones in murder, drug-smuggling, robbery, pocket-picking, etc. 21. In this passage, the author intends to tell the reader that _______.

A. the United States is a wealthy country although poverty and crime exist there

B. crime has become a serious problem in the United States although it is said to be a prosperous country

C. despite the fact that crimes have been increasing rapidly in the United States, it is a country of prosperity

D. in spite of stories about poverty and crime in the United States, it is prospering at an increasing rate

22. In 1979, there was one murder committed _______.

9

A. in every 24 minutes B. in every 10 minutes C. in every 100, 000 people D. in every 7 minutes

23. Which of the following factors is NOT mentioned but implied by the author as responsible for the sharp increase of crime rate?

A. Being poor. B. Being parentless. C. Being unemployed. D. Being homeless.

24. The word misfortune in the third paragraph means _______.

A. ill luck B. bad fortune C. mischance D. any of the above

25. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. Everyone agrees that bad material conditions are the partly reason for crime.

B. The Constitution of the U. S. guarantees the right of every citizen to possess weapons for his own protection.

C. Too much crime shown on TV has, at least partly, resulted in a higher rate of crime in the U. S. D. More than half of the criminals arrested in 1979 were young people under 25.

Passage 6

It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pockets for money, the ferryman lifted a lamp, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey (打量) of the stranger's figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently brought up in the country, and now as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of long legs, his blue stockings must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps protected the grayer head of the young man's father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his belongings were completed by a leather bag which hung on his strong shoulders. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature's gifts. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little town of a New England colony.

26. What time of the year was it when the story took place?

A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Fall. D. Winter.

27. The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because _____. A. he wanted to make extra money

10

28. The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _____.

A. well worn B. very expensive C. handmade D. much too big

29. Judging from his appearance, most probably Robin was _____. A. a wealthy leather merchant B. a farmer's son C. a young soldier D. a foreigner

30. The place Robin was visiting was _____.

A. Madrid B. London C. unknown D. a town in New England

Passage 7

In the late 1960's, many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems, and new steel-and-glass skyscrapers were widely criticized. Ecologists pointed out that a cluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities.

Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers, and wasters, of electric power. In one recent year,the addition of 17 million square feet of skyscraper office space in New York City raised the peak daily demand for electricity by 120,000 Kilowatts-enough to supply the entire city of Albany, New York, for a day.

Glass-walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful. The heat loss (or gain) through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry wall filled with insulation board. To lessen the strain on heating and air-conditioning equipment, builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double-glazed panels of glass, and reflective glasses coated with silver or gold mirror films that reduce glare as well as heat gain. However, mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings.

Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception, block bird flyways, and obstruct air traffic. In Boston in the late 1960's, some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common.

Still, people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they have always built them personal ambition, civic pride, and the desire of owners to have the largest possible amount of rentable space.

31. The main purpose of the passage is to ______. A. compare skyscrapers with other modern structures

B. describe skyscrapers and their effect on the environment

C. advocate the use of masonry in the construction of skyscrapers D. illustrate some architectural designs of skyscrapers

32. According to the passage, what is one of the disadvantages of skyscrapers that have mirrored walls?

A. The exterior surrounding air is heated. B. The windows must be cleaned daily. C. Construction time is increased.

D.Extra air-conditioning equipment is needed.

11

33. The author raises issues that would most concern _______.

A. electricians B. environmentalists C. aviators D. teachers

34. According to the passage, in the late 1960's some residents of Boston were concerned with ________.

A. the noise from their construction

B. the removal of trees from building sites C. the harmful effects on the city's grass D. the high cost of rentable office space

35. Where in the passage does the author compare the energy consumption of skyscrapers with that of a city? A. Lines 1-3 B. Lines 4-6 C. Lines 7-12 D. Lines 13-14

Passage 8

One day a tailor in Duluth, Minnesota, was busy mending an old coat, repairing some holes and a place where it was torn, when he suddenly heard a low, threatening sound at his open door. He looked up and could hardly believe what he saw. He had heard there were bears coming right into the city looking for food, but it didn't seem possible the brown beast at his door was real. He was terribly frightened. He had no gun in the shop. His only weapon was the pair of scissors he used for cutting cloth. At that moment a car came down the street. The driver saw the bear and was so surprised he steered his car off the road and onto the sidewalk. Luckily, the bear was just as frightened by the car as the tailor was by the bear. The bear moved quickly on down the street to look for food elsewhere. The tailor telephoned the police, and the bear was captured before it could harm anyone.

36. According to the passage, the story took place ______. A. at the hair-dresser's B. at the shoe-maker's C. at the barber's D. at the tailor's

Passage 9

Every American high-school student may or may not hope, or expect, to go to college, but if he does, depending on how much he wants to, he probably can. At any rate, six out of ten high-school graduates go to college. Not all of them go immediately-lack of money, the Armed Forces, an attractive job, illness, any one of a hundred reasons, common and uncommon, many hold some out for a year, or two, or five, but they too will go eventually. Some of them will go to four-year colleges, some to junior colleges, some to technical institutes. And the number will climb. In ten years seven out of ten high-school graduates will go, and in twenty years four out of five.

The fact that so many high-school graduates now continue their education suggests that there is a high value on college in American life. And this is so. A young man or a young woman of college is more or less expected to be going to college simply because that is the best thing to be doing at that age. The expectation is not abstract devotion to education but ordinary common sense based on the values of college. The fact is that the differences, in terms of lifetime experiences, between the average student who goes to college and the average student who does not, are so favorable to the college-going student that any student who can reach college owes it to himself to do so.

The word \"reach\" is important. College is a separate experience. It is optional in the sense that no student is required to go to college as he is required by law-in most states-to go to high school. But it is not optional for a student who would like to enter a profession or who would like to get into the management structure of business or finance, or who would like to enter government service.

Passage 10

Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the drastic experiment of Frederick II in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.

All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.

Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly rapidly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed.

Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months he can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to fifty words. At three he knows about 1,000 words which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar.

Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man's brain, compared with that of the monkey, if the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern \"toy-bear\" . And even more incredible is the young brain's ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways.

14

But speech has to be induced, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child's babbling (咿呀学语), grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child's non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language. 46. The purpose of Frederick 's experiment was ______. A. to prove that children are born with the ability to speak

B. to discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speech C. to find out what role careful nursing ,would play in teaching a child to speak D. to prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language

47. The reason some children are backward in speaking is most probably that _______ A. they are incapable of learning language rapidly B. they are exposed to too much language at once

C. their mothers respond inadequately to their attempts to speak D. their mothers are not intelligent enough to help them

48. What is exceptionally remarkable about a child is that ______. A. he is born with the capacity to speak

B. he has a brain more complex than an animal's C. he can produce his own sentences

D. he owes his speaking ability to good nursing

49. Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage? A. The faculty of speech is inborn in man.

B. Encouragement is anything but essential to a child in language learning. C. The child's brain is highly selective.

D. Most children learn their language in definite stages.

50. If a child starts to speak later than others, he will ______ in future. A. have a high IQ B. be less intelligent

C. be insensitive to verbal signals D. not necessarily be backward

Passage 11

The term \"satellite\" presents an interesting study of word usage and definition when we trace it from its Latin origin through its historical development. We find that, although one of its meanings may be totally unlike others, an underlying relationship is evident throughout its evolution.

The word was first invented in ancient Rome, a metropolis which for a thousand years controlled the Roman Empire and served as the hub of Western civilization. Eventually, however, the very life of the Empire was threatened by economic unrest and a series of rapid changes in government.

Matters reached such a state that no person of importance dared walk the streets of the capital

15

without an escort. Many notables were literally surrounded by armed bodyguards; members of such a guard were known as satellites, from an old name for an attendant (侍者).

Despite their satellites, one notable after another was murdered. External difficulties increased, the Empire crashed, and classical Latin ceased to be the language of commerce and science. But learned men revived the ancient tongue ten centuries later and used it for most formal speeches. Among the revived terms was \"satellite,\" which rulers of the Middle Ages applied to their personal guards.

Johannes Kepler thought of the king's satellites when he heard about the strange bodies going about Jupiter. Discovered by Galileo, the secondary planets hovered about the planet like guards and courtiers attending upon a prince. So in 1611 Kepler named them satellites; soon the term was applied to all heavenly bodies that move about primary masses.

51. The original meaning of satellite was ______.

A. attendant B. ruler C. naturalist D. person of importance

52. In the Middle Ages, satellite meant ______.

A. star B. friendly nation C. personal guard D. secondary planet

53.The most possible meaning of hub in the second paragraph is ______.

A. city B. centre C. country D. government

54. What is implied?

A. Latin is a dead language.

B. Language is constantly changing.

C. Safety has become a serious problem in Rome. D. The study of a word of Latin origin is interesting.

55. Most probably Johannes Kepler was a ______.

A. ruler in ancient Rome B. an royal attendant

C. well-know biologist D. an accomplished physicist

Passage 12

The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older. During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonies.

The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14, 1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.

16

By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912, President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy.

The evolution of the stars and stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th time since its creation.

There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag. Among them are the president's and vice-president's flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling.

56. The basic flag of the United States is _________.

A. as old as the basic flags of some European nations B. the oldest national flag in the world C. the most beautiful flag in the West D. one of the world's oldest flags

57. Before the War of Independence the flags of various European nations flown over the land were symbols of ________.

A. self-rule B. occupation C. peace and friendship D. independence

58. The first official flag of the United States was adopted _________. A. during the War of Independence which ended in 1783 B. when independence was declared in 1776

C. right after the declaration of the War of Independence D. before the War of Independence

59. The original design of 13 stripes was restored (恢复) in 1818 because _________. A. the American people would accept this restoration B. too many stripes would destroy the shape of the flag C. Congress insisted 13 be the best number D. that was a decision President Taft had made

60. Which of the following statements is true?

A. The newly-admitted state of Hawaii does not have an official flag. B. All federal departments and agencies have flags of their own. C. The United States has a number of government flags.

D. No other flags than the national flag and the president's flag are flown in the United States.

Passage 13

17

When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty (保单), or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, assuming he or she has a just claim.

Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.

Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo (立体声音响) does not work.”

The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumers’ right.

61. When a consumer finds that his purchase has a fault in it, the first thing he should do is to ______.

A. complain personally to the manager B. threaten to take the matter to court

C. write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchase D. show some written proof of the purchase to the store

62. If a consumer wants a quick settlement of his problem, it's better to complain to_______. A. a shop assistant C. the manufacturer B. the store manager D. a public organization

63. The most effective complaint can be made by_______. A. showing the faulty item to the manufacturer B. explaining exactly what is wrong with the item C. saying firmly that the item is of poor quality D. asking politely to change the item

. The phrase “live up to” (Para.1, Line 2) in the context means______. A. meet the standard of C. fulfill the demands of B. realize the purpose of D. keep the promise of

65. The passage tells us_______.

A. how to make an effective complaint about a faulty item

18

B. how to settle a consumer’s complaint about a faulty item C. how to avoid buying a faulty item

D. how to deal with complaints from customers

Passage 14

In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates (考生)for the doctor's degree.

Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.

One type of test is sometimes called an objective (客观) test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.

66. In the Middle Ages students____. A. took objective tests B. specialized in one subject C. were timed by electric clocks D. never wrote exams

67. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _____. A. workers now take examinations B. the population has grown

C. there are only written exams today

D. examinations are now written and timed

68. The kind of exams where students must select answers are ____.

A. personal B. spoken C. objective D. written

69. It may be concluded that testing _____.

A. should test only opinions B. has changed since the Middle Ages C. should always be written D. is given only in factories

70. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. An objective test is more scientific than the traditional spoken test. B. The traditional spoken test is no longer used in modern universities. C. An objective test is not as flexible as the traditional spoken test.

19

D. The traditional spoken test does not deal with facts or personal opinions.

Passage 15

Mr. Smith is well known in Washington because of his many social blunders. He always likes to attend the various social functions because he wants to expand his circle of friends. Whenever he is invited, he goes, unless he is ill.

Recently he received an invitation to a fashionable banquet. Although he did not know the hostess, he accepted the invitation. He was secretly very pleased, because he felt that his reputation as a desirable guest was growing.

When he arrived at the banquet hall, he found that about one hundred people had been invited. He began to move around the hall. He spoke to other guests whether he knew them or not. He soon realized that he had never met any of the other people present, although they seemed to know each other.

At dinner, he was seated beside a very dignified woman. The woman tried to be friendly even though she had never met Mr. Smith before. She spoke politely, whenever he spoke to her. Between the first and the second course of the meal, she turned to Mr. Smith and said, \"Do you see that gray-haired man at the end of the table? The one with the glasses.\" \"Ah, yes. Who is he?\" asked Smith.

\"He's the Secretary of the Interior (内政)!\" she replied.

Mr. Smith said, \"So that's the Secretary of the Interior! I'm afraid that I find very little to admire about him, although he is the Secretary.\"

The woman stiffened and did not reply. Smith continued in spite of her coldness. \"I really can't see how he received his appointment, unless he is perhaps a relative of the President.\"

\"It hardly matters whether you like the Secretary or not,\" she said. \"He was chosen because the President thought he was the man for the job. If he does the job well, you should have no complaint.\"

\"That's just it,\" persisted Smith. \"No one does the things he does, unless he is a complete fool!\"

\"Sir!\" said the woman in all her dignity. \"Do you know who I am?\" \"No,\" replied Smith. \"I am the Secretary's wife,\" she said coldly. Mr. Smith was overwhelmed with amazement, but he went on in spite of his embarrassment. \"Madam, do you know who I am?\" \"No, I don't,\" the woman replied.

\"Thank goodness!\" exclaimed Mr. Smith, as he quickly left the table.

71. Mr. Smith was fond of attending various social functions because _______. A. he was often invited B. he could talk to more people

Passage 16

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

76. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______. A. still judge a man by his clothes

B. hold the uniform in such high regard

21

C. enjoy having a professional identity

D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform

D. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes

78. The chief function of a uniform is to ________. A. provide practical benefits to the wearer B. make the wearer catch the public eye C. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himself D. provide the wearer with a professional identity

79. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______. A. are usually helpful

B. have little or no individual freedom C. tend to lose their individuality D.enjoy greater popularity

80. The best title for this passage would be _______. A. Uniforms and society

B. The Importance of Wearing a Uniform C. Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms
