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. Passage
One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
¡¡¡¡Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall
into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all
autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however,
think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain
a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future. ¡¡¡¡The
motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years.
It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not
be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be
far more pollution-free than present types. ¡¡¡¡Regardless of its
power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem
in urbantraffic congestion (Óµ¼·). One proposed solution to this problem
is the automated highway system. ¡¡¡¡When the auto enters the highway
system, a retractable (¿ÉÉìËõµÄ) arm will drop from the auto and
make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway
trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will
become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle
will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all
of the car's move-ments. ¡¡¡¡The driver will use a telephone to
dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer
will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the
way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be
free to relax and wait for the buzzer (·äÃùÆ÷) that will warn him of
his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be
able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to
2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. 21.
One significant improvement in the future car will probably be________.
¡¡¡¡A) its power source¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡C) its monitoring system
¡¡¡¡B) its driving system¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡D) its seating capacity 22.
What is the author's main concern? ¡¡¡¡A) How to render automobiles
pollution-free. ¡¡¡¡B) How to make smaller and safer automobiles.
¡¡¡¡C) How to solve the problem of traffic jams. ¡¡¡¡D) How
to develop an automated subway system. 23.
What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system?
¡¡¡¡A) A rail. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡C) A retractable arm. ¡¡¡¡B) An
engine. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡D) A computer controller. 24.
In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______.
¡¡¡¡A) keep in the right lane ¡¡¡¡B) wait to arrive at his destination
¡¡¡¡C) keep in constant touch with the computer center ¡¡¡¡D)
inform the system of his destination by phone 25.
What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos? ¡¡¡¡A)
Enthusiastic.¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡C) Optimistic. ¡¡¡¡B) Pessimistic. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡D)
Cautious. Passage Two Questions
26 to 30 are based on the following passage. ¡¡¡¡Foxes and farmers
have never got on well. These small dog-like animals have long been
accused of killing farm animals. They are officially classified
as harmful and farmers try to keep their numbers down by shooting
or poisoning them. ¡¡¡¡Farmers can also call on the services of
their local hunt to control the fox population. Hunting consists of
pursuing a fox across the countryside, with a group of specially trained
dogs, followed by men and women riding horses. When the dogs eventually
catch the fox they kill it or a hunter shoots it. ¡¡¡¡People who
take part in hunting think of it as a sport; they wear a special uniform
of red coats and white trousers, and follow strict codes of behavior.
But owning a horse and hunting regularly is expensive, so most hunters
are wealthy. ¡¡¡¡It is estimated that up to 100,000 people watch
or take part in fox hunting. But over the lastcouple of decades the
number of people opposed to fox hunting, because they think it is
brutal (²Ð¿áµÄ), has risen sharply. Nowadays it is rare for a hunt to
pass off without some kind of confrontation (³åÍ») between hunters and
hunt saboteurs (×èÀ¹Õß). Sometimes these incidents lead to violence,
but mostly saboteurs interfere with the hunt by misleading riders
and disturbing the trail of the fox's smell, which the dogs follow.
¡¡¡¡Noisy confrontations between hunters and saboteurs have become so
common that they are almost as much a part of hunting as the pursuit
of foxes itself. But this year supporters of fox hunting face a much
bigger threat to their sport. A Labour Party Member of the Parliament,
Mike Foster, is trying to get Parliament to approve a new law which
will make the hunting of wild animals with dogs illegal. If the law
is passed, wild animals like foxes will be protected under the ban
in Britain. 26. Rich people in Britain
have been hunting foxes ¡¡¡¡A) for recreation¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡C) to
limit the fox population ¡¡¡¡B) in the interests of the farmers¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡D)
to show of ftheir wealth 27. What
is special about fox hunting in Britain? ¡¡¡¡A) It involves the
use of a deadly poison. ¡¡¡¡B) It is a costly event which rarely
occurs. ¡¡¡¡C) The hunters have set rules to follow. ¡¡¡¡D)
The hunters have to go through strict training. 28.
Fox hunting opponents often interfere in the game________. ¡¡¡¡A)
by resorting to violence¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡C) by taking legal action ¡¡¡¡B)
by confusing the fox hunters¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡D) by demonstrating on the scene 29.
A new law may be passed by the British Parliament to________.
¡¡¡¡A) prohibit farmers from hunting foxes ¡¡¡¡B) forbid hunting
foxes with dogs ¡¡¡¡C) stop hunting wild animals in the countryside
¡¡¡¡D) prevent large-scale fox hunting 30.
It can be inferred from the passage that ________. ¡¡¡¡A) killing
foxes with poison is illegal ¡¡¡¡B) limiting the fox population
is unnecessary ¡¡¡¡C) hunting foxes with dogs is considered cruel
and violent ¡¡¡¡D) fox-hunting often leads to confrontation between
the poor and the rich Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. ¡¡¡¡For
an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is
suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs.
Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom ( ÉúÓý¸ß·å) generation, a longer
life span means that the nation's elderly population is bound to expand
significantly over the next 50 years. By 2050, 25 percent of all Americans
will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses
profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also
creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and
in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we're
going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized
lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of
Southern California's (USC) School of Gerontology (ÀÏÄêѧ). ¡¡¡¡Lawyers
can specialize in "elder law," which covers everything from
trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination (ÆçÊÓ).
Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the
baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group
of retirees in human history. "Any student who combines an expert
knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have
a license to print money," one professor says. ¡¡¡¡Margarite
Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC. She began college as a biology
major but found she was "really bored with bacteria."So
she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it.
She says, "I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was
very satisfying." 31. "¡
Old is suddenly in" (Line 1, Para. 1) most probably means"______".
¡¡¡¡A) America has suddenly become a nation of old people
¡¡¡¡B) gerontology has suddenly become popular ¡¡¡¡C) more elderly
professors are found on American campuses ¡¡¡¡D) American colleges
have realized the need of enrolling older students 32.
With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit ______. ¡¡¡¡A) from
the adoption of the "elder law" ¡¡¡¡B) from rendering
special services to the elderly ¡¡¡¡C) by enriching their professional
knowledge ¡¡¡¡D) by winning the trust of the elderly to promote
their own interests 33. Why can businessmen
make money in the emerging elder market? ¡¡¡¡A) Retirees are more
generous in spending money. ¡¡¡¡B) They can employ more gerontologists.
¡¡¡¡C) The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power. ¡¡¡¡D)
There are more elderly people working than before. 34.
Who can make big money in the new century according to the passage?
¡¡¡¡A) Retirees who are business-minded. ¡¡¡¡B) The volunteer
workers in retirement homes. ¡¡¡¡C) College graduates with an MBA
or law degree. ¡¡¡¡D) Professionals with a good knowledge of gerontology.
35. It can be seen from the passage
that the expansion of America's elderly population ________.
¡¡¡¡A) will provide good job opportunities in many areas ¡¡¡¡B) will
impose an unbearable burden on society ¡¡¡¡C) may lead to nursing
home abuse and age discrimination ¡¡¡¡D) will create new fields
of study in universities Passage
Four Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
The decline in moral standards-which has long concerned social analysts-has
at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke
Elshtain, for one, is glad. ¡¡¡¡The
fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about
the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (Â×Àíѧ) professor at the
University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come
forward to improve it. ¡¡¡¡But the challenge is not to be underestimated.
Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest
obstacles. "The thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply
rooted in the national consciousness," Ms. Elshtain says.
¡¡¡¡Some of this can be attributed to the disintegration of traditional
communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says.
With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those
bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.
¡¡¡¡In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list
of the biggest problems facing the U.S. And Elshtain says the public
is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling
with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence
and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers. The desire for
a higher moral standard is not a lament (Íì¸è) for some nonexistent
"golden age," Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful ( Ò»ÏáÇéÔ¸µÄ
) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities.
Most people, in fact, favor the lessening of prejudice. ¡¡¡¡Moral
decline will not be reversed until people frnd ways to counter the
materialism in society,she says. "Slowly, you recognize that
the things that matter are those that can't be bought." 36.
Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans________. ¡¡¡¡A)
have adapted to a new set of moral standards ¡¡¡¡B) are longing
for the return of the good old days ¡¡¡¡C) have realized the importance
of material things ¡¡¡¡D) are awakening to the lowering of their
moral standards 37. The moral decline
of American society is caused mainly by ¡¡¡¡A) its growing wealth
¡¡¡¡B) the self-centeredness of individuals ¡¡¡¡C) underestimating
the impact of social changes ¡¡¡¡D) the prejudice against women
and minorities 38. Which of the
following characterizes the traditional communities? ¡¡¡¡A) Great
mobility. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡C) Emphasis on individual effort. ¡¡¡¡B) Concern
for one's neighbors.¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡D) Ever-weakening social bonds. 39.
In the 1950s, classroom violence ¡¡¡¡A) was something unheard of¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡C)
attracted a lot of public attention ¡¡¡¡B) was by no means a rare
occurrence¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡D) began to appear in analysts' data 40.
According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reversed
¡¡¡¡A) if people can return to the "golden age" ¡¡¡¡B)
when women and men enjoy equal rights ¡¡¡¡C) when people rid themselves
of prejudice ¡¡¡¡D) if less emphasis is laid on material things

in the theatre I had to look through the 72 between the two tall heads

over to talk to him, 74 he leaned over to kiss her. Why do Americans
display such 75 in a public place? I thought the movie would be good
for my English, but 76 it turned out, it was an Italian movie. 77
about an hour I decided to give up on the movie and 78 on my popcorn
( ±¬ÓñÃ×»¨ ). I've never understood why they give you so much popcorn!
