Part II Reading Comprehension (30 marks, 2 marks each)

Section A

Directions:Read the following passages and choose the best answer to each of the questions following the passage.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

The good news about Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) is that it gives free medical help to everyone who needs it. Sick people don’t have to pay to see the doctor, or to stay in hospital, and they only pay part of the cost of their medicines. The bad news is that the NHS is always running out of money. The British government spends even less on health than the American government. And in the USA sick people also have to pay every time they see a doctor. The NHS has been admired and enjoyed by British people since 1946 when it started. The idea then was to look after people ―from the cradle to the grave‖. Free medicine was part of the ―welfare state‖, which gave free education to the young, money to the unemployed, and pensions to the old.

Slowly, as the years pass, problems have grown up. Governments are finding that the bills are getting bigger and bigger. In 1982, ￡14,000 million was spent on health. One reason for this is that there are many more old people now than there were in 1946. Forty percent of NHS money goes to looking after the old. Some people say that the NHS is a luxury Britain can not afford. They want to bring back more private medicine, for which people would pay. Free medicine, they say, should be given only to the poor. Other people, including many doctors, disagree. Everyone, they say, has the right to the same medical help. In a two-part system, the rich would always get the best. This would not be

fair. People also disagree about how NHS money should be spent. Should ￡15,000 be spent on each heart transplant operation, when there are not enough beds for thousands of old people in pain? Should abortions be paid for by the NHS? Should more money be spent on the mentally ill? Shouldn’t doctors and nurses be better paid?

The questions go on and on—but so does the NHS. And millions of British people are thankful that it’s there.

31. In Britain sick people have to pay some money to__________.

A. see a doctor

B. stay in a hospital

C. get some medicine

D. have an operation

32. In Britain more money is spent on health than before because__________.

A. more people get ill

B. there are more old people

C. medicines become more expensive

D. doctors and nurses are better paid

33. Some people want to have more private medicine in Britain because

they__________.

A. don’t trust the NHS

B. want better medical treatment

C. don’t think Britain can afford fre e medicine for all

D. believe that everyone has the right to medical help

34. What is the biggest problem the NHS is facing?

A. Shortage of money.

B. Criticisms from the people.

C. Arguments about its function.

D. Pressure from the government.

35. Which of the following is a controversial issue concerning the NHS?

A. Whether it’s necessary or not to provide beds for old people in pain.

B. Whether there should be free medical care for the mentally ill.

C. Whether people should ever be cared for from birth to death.

D. Whether money should be spent on more critical cases.

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant when he or she is preparing for the actual interview.

A job applicant should gather certain types of information before the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state why he wishes to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company, such as the location, the financial situation of the company, plans for expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most big corporations is available in reference books and periodicals.

After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer’s first impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews, the appropriate dress for a man is a conservative(保守的) dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie.

Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors get first impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel manager considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner

unsuited for this particular position.

36. For whom is the passage most likely written?

A. An employee. C. An interviewee.

B. An employer. D. An interviewer.

37. As the author suggests, what the applicant should know before the interview is

_____.

A .the type of work he wants and his career expectation

B. his career objective a particular company will decide

C. the reasons why a particular company wants to employ him

D. all of the above

38. Before the interview, the applicant should obtain some information about _____.

A. most big corporations

B. the company he wants to work for

C. reference books and periodicals

D. business and philosophy

39. What the applicant wears, as the author suggests, can make him become _____.

A. expressive C. informative

B. impressive D. conservative

40. What does the passage tell us through the example in the last paragraph?

A. The importance of personal taste.

B. The importance of public relations.

C. The importance of self-confidence.

D. The importance of a first impression.

Section B

Directions:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or

complete the statements with no more than 10 words.

Questions 41-45 are based on the following passage.

I am not a computer expert. I have been in the field for only a short time. I never learned much in the way of science or math. And I am quite puzzled by things like engineering or electronics.

Then why am I able to write about computers? I can write on this subject because of these shortcomings. The last two years of learning have been an ordeal (考验) for me. By hard work I have managed to learn enough to use computers fairly well, and to work with people who know a great deal more than I. Since I have learned all this at such personal cost, I would like to share my knowledge with others. More and more people want to know about computers, and want to know quickly.

The best way to learn is to take a course. However, many people do not have the time for this. They will have to find some other ways to get some basic information. I hope to be able to help them by writing about some of the things I have learned myself.

I have a home computer on which I’ve learned in my own time. I have used it like a home study course. I have sat down with it day after day, night after night. I have forced it to give up some of its secrets. Now I can use it to do some of the work that I get paid for.

Some things about computers are easier than you may think. First, computers are logical. Things that at first seem difficult will make sense to you after you learn the rules. Second, it is really not hard to learn enough to use today’s machines. You do not need to be a great brain. But you do have to learn to think in new ways. And you do have to keep a good bit of information in your head. Finally, there are many people around who are really enthusiastic about computers. These people are always happy to be of help.

41. What are the subjects the author is poor at?

____________ ___________ _________ _________ ___________ __________

__________ __________ __________ ________.

42. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the article?

____________ ___________ _________ _________ ___________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ________.

43. What do people think of computers when they first begin to learn to use them?

____________ ___________ _________ _________ ___________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ________.

44. According to the author, to learn to use the computer requires ____________ ___________ ________ _________ ___________ __________ __________ __________ __________ ________.

45. According to the author, who can you turn to for help when learning the computer?

____________ ___________ _________ _________ ___________ __________ __________ __________ __________ __________.

Effects of Television

Television ranks as a major influence on American life. It affects the way people spend their time and what and how they learn. TV also affects politics, the other media, and sports. Some authorities believe TV has a greater influence on young people than on adults.

Effects on leisure time

A typical adult spends more time watching TV than doing anything else except sleeping and working. Watching television ranks as the most time-consuming leisure activity among adults. It takes time away from other activities, such as reading, conversation, social gatherings, and exercise.

Effects on learning

Television contributes greatly to what home viewers learn. It benefits people by widening their experience. On the other hand, TV also may contribute to harmful impressions of the world.

Enriched experience. No communication system has ever provided so many people with as wide a range of new experiences as television has. Without leaving their homes, TV viewers can watch government officials perform important functions, and see how people in far-off lands look and live. Television takes viewers to deserts, jungles, and the ocean floor. A TV viewer can see how a famous actor performs the role of Hamlet, and how top comedians draw laughter. Television gives its viewers a glimpse of real-life tragedy, as when it covers the victims of war, natural disasters, and poverty. It also captures moments of great triumph, such as when astronauts first set foot on the moon. However, some authorities question how much specific information viewers remember from watching television.

Harmful impressions.Many social scientists believe that people are likely to form two negative impressions from watching a lot of television. One of these impressions is that many people are better off than they are. The other is that the world is an unfriendly place, filled with untrustworthy people and risky circumstances.

Television programs often show people who lead more glamorous lives and have more material possessions than most viewers. In addition, TV commercials constantly urge viewers to buy various goods. Many sociologists believe that as a result, the material expectations of TV viewers are raised, sometimes to an unrealistic level. One harmful effect results when people fail to achieve the success they see on TV and become dissatisfied or bitter.

The violence, crime-filled world shown on TV may contribute to an impression of an evil world. Studies indicate that people who watch a great deal of television are more likely to hold fearful or negative views of the world than those who watch less TV. However, some researchers argue that people who watch a lot of television already hold such views.

Effects on society

Television has brought about major changes in several parts of American society, including politics, motion pictures and radio, and sports.

Politics. Every election year, thousands of political candidates use television in their campaigns. They buy commercial time to urge voters to support them. They also appear in

debates with other candidates and answer interviewers’ questions about their views. Television plays its greatest role in presidential races. Before TV, presidential candidates tried to make personal appearances and speeches in as many cities and states as possible. Today, many candidates reach more voters through a single television appearance than through all the in-person campaigning they do.

The most widely used form of political advertising in television is the spot announcement. Spot announcements are political messages that last 10 to 90 seconds. News programs often televise only a sentence or two, called a sound bite, from a candidate’s remarks. These contrast sharply with the long political speeches that are typical of traditional in-person campaigning.

Television does much to promote interest in politics and political issues. But political advertising on TV also draws criticism. Critics say spot announcements are too short to allow candidates to discuss issues. Instead, candidates use the time to present oversimplified statements. Critics also claim that, because television time is so expensive, TV campaigning gives unfair advantage to the candidates with the most money.

Motion pictures and radio.From the 1920’s through the 1940’s, films and radio were the chief forms of entertainment for millions of Americans. Many people went to the movies at least once a week. They listened to comedies, dramas, and other entertainment programs on the radio almost every night. The rise of TV in the 1950’s caused a sharp drop in movie attendance. Ever since, the movie industry has faced economic problems radio entertainment changed completely after TV became a part of American life. Almost every radio entertainment show went off the air. Recorded music became the chief kind of radio programming.

Sports. Professional sports have long attracted millions of spectators yearly. But many more millions now watch the events on television. Television networks and stations pay team owners huge amounts of money for the right to televise games. These funds, in turn, help owners pay the huge salaries of today’s professional athletes. Television also helps increase the popularity of sports. For example, the popularity of professional football has soared largely because of television. On the other hand, minor league baseball lost much of its audience after television brought major league games into the home.

Effects on young people

There is little agreement about how television affects young people. Parents have long been concerned about the amount of time young people spend watching TV. Studies have linked watching a lot of television with poor performance in school. However, these studies do not prove that TV viewing actually causes students to perform poorly. Watching television may simply be an activity preferred by young people who do poorly in school. Other studies suggest that televised violence encourages aggressive behavior.

26. School teachers believe television has a greater influence on young people than on adults.

27. Generally, adults spend more time watching TV than doing anything else such as sleeping and

working.

28. Television has provided people with a wider range of new experiences than any other

communication system.

29. An impression of an evil world of the TV viewers may be attributable to the violent,

crime-filled world shown on TV.

30. Television has produced major changes to American education.

31. Some critics believe that television time is so expensive that TV campaigning gives unfair

disadvantage to the candidates with the most money.

32. People have reached the agreement about how television affects young people.

33. ____________________ is the most widely used form of political advertising in television.

34. Before the rise of TV in the 1950’s, the chief forms of ente rtainment for many Americans

were ____________________.

35. Minor league baseball lost ____________________ after television brought league games

into the home.

Section B Reading in Depth (1)

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with 10 blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the

passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the blank is

identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item. You may not use

any of the words in the bank more than once.

Last summer, Transportation Secretary Elizabeth Dole announced a new seatbelt-use rule: all the drivers and front passengers will be fined if they don’t wear seat belts after April 1989.

The36 wouldn’t have been necessary but for one simple fact. Even though seat belts could 37 nearly half of the deaths in fatal car accidents, 85 percent of the population simply won’t wear them.

More than 30,000 drivers and front seat passengers are killed or38 injured each year.

A 39 of only 30 miles per hour is the same as falling from a third-floor window. Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it40 your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.

41 , drivers or front seat passengers over 14 in most vehicles must wear a seat belt. If you do not, you could be fined up to $50. It will not be up to the drivers to make sure you wear your belt. But it will be the driver’s responsibility to make sure tha t children under 14 do not

42 in the front unless they are wearing a seat belt of some kind.

43 , you do not have to wear a seat belt if you are reversing your vehicle; or you are making a local delivery or collection using a special vehicle; or if you have a valid medical certificate which excuses you from wearing it. Make44 these circumstances apply to you before you decide not to wear your seat belt.

Remember you may be taken to45 for not doing so, and you may be fined if you cannot prove to the court that you have been excused from wearing it.

Section B Reading in Depth (2)

Directions:There are 2 reading passages in this section. 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.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

One of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half of her life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the United States. In her life time sh e earned his country’s most highly acclaimed literary award, the Pulitzer Prize, and also the most prestigious form of literary recognition in the world, the Nobel Prize for Literature. Pearl S. Buck was almost a household word throughout much of her lifetime because of her prolific output, which consisted of some eighty-five published works, including several

dozen novels, six collections of short stories, fourteen books for children, and more than a dozen works of nonfiction. When she was eighty years old, some twenty-five volumes were awaiting publication. Many of those books were set in China, the land in which she spent so much of her life. Her books and her life served as a bridge between the cultures of the East and the West. As the product of those t wo cultures she became, as she described herself, ―mentally bifocal‖. Her unique background made her into an unusually interesting and versatile human being. As we examine the life of Pearl Buck, we cannot help but be aware that we are in fact meeting three separate people: a wife and mother, an internationally famous writer, and a humanitarian and philanthropist. One cannot really get to know Pearl Buck without learning about each of the three. Though honored in her lifetime with the William Dean Howell Medal of the American Academy of Arts and Letters in addition to the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes, Pearl Buck as a total human being, not only a famous author, is a captivating subject of study.

46. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?

A) To offer a criticism of the works of Pearl Buck.

B) To illustrate Pearl Buck’s views on Chinese literature.

C) To illustrate the background and diverse interests of Pearl Buck.

D) To discuss Pearl Buck’s influence on the cultures of the East and the We st.

47. According to the passage, Pearl Buck was an unusual figure in American literature in that she

______.

A) wrote extensively about a very different culture

B) published half of her books abroad

C) won more awards than any other woman of her time

D) achieved her first success very late in life

48. According to the passage, Pearl Buck described herself as ―mentally bifocal‖ to suggest that

she was ______.

A) capable of resolving the differences between two distinct linguistic systems

B) keenly aware of how the past could influence the future

C) capable of producing literary works of interest to both adults and children

D) equally familiar with two different cultural environments

49. The word ―prolific‖ in Line 6 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A) influential. B) impressive. C) fruitful. D) outstanding.

50. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A) All of Pearl Buck’s books were written in China.

B) Pearl Buck won several literary awards for her works.

C) Pearl Buck knew both American and Chinese cultures very well.

D) One has to study the different aspects of Pearl Buck in order to understand her well. Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of

organic foods – a term whose meaning varies greatly – frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.

The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance (优势) of written material advancing such claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other benefits to health have become widely publicized and formed the basis for folklore.

Almost daily the public is besieged (围攻) by claims for ―no-aging‖ diets, new vitamins and other wonder foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better than fumigated grains, and the like.

One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases consumers are mislead if they believe organic food can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust the regular food supply and buy only expensive organic foods instead.

51. The word ―advocate‖ in Line 2, Para. 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?

A) proponents. B) merchants. C) inspectors. D) consumers.

52. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is true about the term ―organic

foods‖?

A) It is accepted by most nutritionists. B) It has been used only in recent years.

C) It has no fixed meaning. D) It is seldom used by consumers.

53. The author implies that there is cause for concern if consumers with limited incomes buy

organic foods instead of conventionally grown foods because ______.

A) organic foods can be more expensive but are often no better than conventionally grown

foods

B) many organic foods are actually less nutritious than similar conventionally grown foods

C) conventionally grown foods are more readily available than organic foods

D) too many farmers will stop using conventional methods to grow food crops

54. From the last paragraph, consumers who believe that organic foods are better than

conventionally grown foods are often ______.

A) careless B) mistaken C) thrifty D) wealthy

55. What is the author’s attitude toward the claims made by advocates of health foods?

A) Very enthusiastic. B) Favorable. C) Neutral. D) Doubtful.

Part III Cloze

Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should choose the ONE that best fits into the
