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.

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems -and that

they have no sense of humour, at least in parent-child relationships.

I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.

Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a

culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small

way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.

Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog; you cannot win but at least you keep your honour. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.

If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can

charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they

will give you the authority to do what you want to do.

 

21. The author is primarily addressing ____.

A) parents of teenagers 

B) newspaper readers 

C) those who give advice to teenagers

D) teenagers

 

22. The first paragraph is mainly about ____.

A) the teenagers’ criticism of their parents

B) misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents

C) the dominance of the parents over their children

D) the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises

 

23.Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles mainly because they ____.

A) want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own

B) have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste

C) have no other way to enjoy themselves better

D) want to irritate their parents

 

24. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they ____.

A) have already been accepted into the adult world

B) feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults

C) are not likely to win over the adults

D) have a desire to be independent

 

25. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be

____.

A) obedient 

B) responsible 

C) cooperative

D) independent

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

 

He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the best and

most just and wisest man”. Yet this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.

Socrates method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know

the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy.

Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.

Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.

Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as

a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.

 

26. In the first paragraph, the word “yet” is used to introduce____.

A) contrast B) a sequence 

C) emphasis D)an example

 

27. Scorates was condemned to death because he ____.

A) believed in law

B) was a philosopher

C) published radical philosophical articles

D) advocated original opinions

 

28. The word “unsurpassed” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.

A) untold B) unequalled

C) unnoticed D) unexpected

 

29. By mentioning that Socrates himself never wrote anything, the writer

implies that ____.

A) it was surprising that Socrates was so famous

B) Socrates was not so learned as he is reputed to have been

C) Socrates used the work of his students in teaching

D) the authorities refused to publish Socrates’ works

 

30. Socates accepted the death penalty to show ____.

A) his belief in his students

B) his contempt for conservatives

C) his recognition of the legal system

D) that he was not afraid of death

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

 

To be “historically minded” is to see things in relation and in perspective, and to judge tolerantly. We must remember how differently men have thought and acted in different times. We must always keep an open mind, ready to receive and weigh new evidence. If we grasp this idea, we will never think that a historian is

someone who can remember dates. That childish idea is like calling a man a statesman because he can remember the names of voters in his district. A waiter could

remember more names and a telephone operator more numbers than the greatest historian.

The true historian is not content to take all his facts from other historians. Today he makes sure that his statements are based on sound “documents” or “sources” which go back to the time of the facts themselves.

But the historian needs always to be in his guard not to be misled by his sources. A document may not be a real one. Its author may be lying on purpose for

some reasons. He may be so greatly influenced by national, religious, party or personal backgrounds as to be totally unfair to the other side. If honest, he may

be misinformed as to the facts and mistaken in his inferences.

Anyone who reads the accounts published in the different countries concerning the causes and results of wars will realize that the historian needs caution and training in handling these sources. The trained historian asks first: “Did th

is writer mean to tell the truth?” and second; “Was he in a position or frame of

mind to tell the truth even if he wants to?” Every statement must be patiently

weighed and tested and combined with all other available information in order to

get at the truth.

 

3l.A “historica1ly minded” researcher ____.

A) always keeps an open mind to history

B) looks at one historical event without relating it to another

C) sees things from a single point of view

D) refuses to accept new evidence

 

32.In Paragraph l the author means to illustrate that ____.

A) different men think and act differently

B) the study of history is not merely a matter of remembering dates

C) a statesman can remember the names of voters in his district

D) a waiter can remember more names than the great historians

 

33.The true historian should base his statements on ____.

A) findings of other historians

B) documents created at the present time

C) his own inferences

D) sound historical materials

 

34.Which of the following is the topic of Paragraph 3?

A) Some historical documents may not be real.

B) Some authors may not be honest.

C) Historians should be careful about their sources.

D) Historians may be influenced by their own backgrounds.

 

35. It is emphasized in the last paragraph that ____.

A) wars are accounted for differently in different countries

B) the historian needs caution and training in dealing with his sources

C) some writers may not be telling the truth

D) some writers may not be in a position or frame of mind to tell the truth

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

 

Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany, was fed up with traffic jams. At

long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get him quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers’ route through Germany and Austria.

How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light

? And like magic everyone was out of the way. Going home from work one night he

passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problem. An old

ambulance was for sale. The red cross had been removed. But not the flashing light, and the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring.

It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and

motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and pulled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.

But then the Yugoslav made his beg mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident, lights flashing, too late to realize that it was not another traffic jam as he assumed. They stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12.5 pounds.

38. The red cross had been removed ____.

A) but he soon put up a new one

B) but the siren and the flashing light still worked

C) so he asked the garage to paint another one on

Part Ⅳ

Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)

Directions: In this part there is a short passage with 8

questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the

questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

By the 1950s many American families owned television sets. During television’s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun. They could not hear what was

being said and had to guess.

Deaf people who watched television liked sports and action shows, but they were

disappointed with other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldn’t follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip-readers could only catch part

of the talking. This frustrated many deaf people.

In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf

people could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for

the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government’s Media Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped.

Norwood surveyed many hearing Americans. He wanted to see how they felt about seeing captions on the television screen. Too many people were against the idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning - one that would not

bother hearing people.

In October of 1971, Norwood’s office signed a contract with WGBH-TV, a public television station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention.

The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called “open captions”.

Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a family

had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions

(or signals) would appear on their television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the

signals transmitted from the television station. Captions that require a decoder

are called “closed captions”.

S1 During television’s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun

because they ____.

S2 Deaf people who watched television did not like programs other than sports and action shows because ____.

S3 In the late 1960s, Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy

television programs with the help of ____.

S4 According to the survey conducted by Norwood, hearing people’s attitude toward captions was ____.

S5 A decoder is a machine to ____.

S6 “Open captions” are captions that ____.

S7 “Closed captions” are captions that ____.

S8 The advantage of the way of closed captions may be the fact that ____ .

Section B 

Passage One

One of the most famous tourist attractions in the State of California is the giant redwood. This redwood might be described as “the tree with the moving foot” because it is not even a native Californian, believe it or not.

These trees, which are among the largest and oldest of all living things, moved

to California from the Arctic. Long, long ago they grew in the Arctic, just as enormous and tall as they are today. But the warmer climate drew them southward and it took some seventy-five million years to complete the move.

Carried by birds, winds, and some strong-teethed animals, the seeds of the redwood traveled thousands of miles from what is now the northernmost tip of Alaska to California, their last stand. Only the hardest of seeds survived —— a few that visited Europe soon died out. But those that made it to California put down roots, grew into luxuriant forests, and became camera subjects for the hundreds

and thousands of tourists who visit California’s giant redwood each year.

Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.

11. Where did these trees grow a long time ago?

12. How long did it take the redwood to complete its long journey?

13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a carrier of the redwood seeds from their birthplace to California?

Passage Two

Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes. Americans do not have a corner on the “death” market, but m

any people feel that the United States leads the world with the worst taxes.

Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal, state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.

Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government. The federal government has

a graduated income tax; that is, the percentage of the tax increases as a person

’s income increases. With the high cost of taxes, people are not very happy on A

pril 15, when the federal taxes are due.

Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.

14. According to the passage, what are the two things that Americans can be sure of in life?

15. How many types of taxes are there in the United States?

16. Why do Americans feel sad on April 15?

Passage Three

Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a very good voice, except that some

of her high notes tended to sound like a gate which someone had forgotten to oil. Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this weakness, and took every opportunity she could find to practice these high notes. As she lived in a small house, where

she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road,

she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.

One afternoon, however, a fast open car came behind her so silently that she did

not hear it until it was only a few yards away from her. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult notes at the time. As the car passed her, she saw an anxious expression suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes

on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to examine all his tyres carefully. 

Mrs. Jones dared not tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he

got back into his car, and drove off, as puzzled as he had been when he stopped

.

Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.

17. What did Mrs. Jones often practice?

18. Why did the driver stop the car?

19. Where did the noise come from?

20. Which of the followings is NOT TRUE about Mrs. Jones?

Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension

Passage One

自己領(lǐng)導(dǎo)了潮流,而父母已經(jīng)落伍。作者認(rèn)為這樣做只是一種被動的處事方式,是處于下風(fēng)

者的賭氣行為;他建議青少年采取合作態(tài)度,用責(zé)任感和獨創(chuàng)性去影響父母,使父母給自己

更多的自主權(quán)。

21. 【答案】D

【譯文】本文主要是寫給青少年的。

【試題分析】判斷推理題。

【詳細(xì)解答】文中第二段和第三段作者主要是給青少年提建議,而且在提建議的時候,用了“you”來指代“teenagers”,由此可見他的寫作對象是青少年。

22. 【答案】A

【譯文】第一段主要是關(guān)于青少年對父母的批評。

【試題分析】綜合理解題。

【詳細(xì)解答】第一段的topic sentence 是It is natural for young people to be critical

of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them.,很正常,年輕人有時侯會因為和父母之間互相不理解而批評父母、責(zé)怪父母,該句概括了本段大意,中心詞是批評和責(zé)怪,下文都是他們對父母的批評和指責(zé),所以答案A)是正確答案。

23. 【答案】A

【譯文】許多青少年喜歡穿奇裝異服,理怪異的發(fā)型,這主要是因為他們想創(chuàng)立自己的文化以證明自己的存在。

【試題分析】判斷推理題。

【詳細(xì)解答】原文第三段第一句說“Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles...”,但是“This is not their motive.”,激怒父

母并不是他們的動機,“They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own.”,他

們覺得未被成人社會接納而有一種隔離感,所以就創(chuàng)立自己的文化和社會。如果這激怒了父

母,他們會覺得自己是潮流的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者。因此,答案A)是正確的,答案B)強烈渴望成為時尚和品位的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者不是主要原因,而答案C)沒有別的更好的娛樂方式和D)想激怒父母都和原文不符。

24. 【答案】D

【譯文】 青少年不希望自己的所有行為都得到父母的認(rèn)同,這是因為他們渴望獨立。

【詳細(xì)解答】本文最后一段是作者給青少年的建議,“If you plan to control your life,

cooperation can be part of that plan.”,如果你計劃要對自己的生活自主,合作應(yīng)成為

這個計劃的一部分,所以答案C)是正確的。

28. 【答案】B

【試題分析】詞語辨析題,根據(jù)上下文猜測詞意。

29. 【答案】A

【譯文】作者提到蘇格拉底從未出版過著作,作者意在說明盡管如此蘇格拉底還是非常出名令人驚訝。

【試題分析】判斷推理題。

【詳細(xì)解答】見第三段最后一句話“Yet,for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.”,盡管蘇格拉底名聲和影響很大,但他卻從未出版過任何著作,所以A)是正確答案。答案B)蘇格拉底沒有別人以為的那么博學(xué)、C)蘇格拉底在教學(xué)中利用學(xué)生的著作D)當(dāng)權(quán)者不愿出版蘇格拉底的作品都與原文不符。

Part IV Short Answer Questions

內(nèi)容概要:本文講述的是電視字幕的由來。電視進(jìn)入美國家庭的前二十年,那些耳聾的電視觀眾不能體會到電視的全部樂趣,因為電視節(jié)目有很多對話,聾人只能理解一小部分。六十年代,一個叫Malcom Norwood的人希望通過字幕幫助聾人看懂普通的電視節(jié)目,而且這種字幕還不能干擾正常的電視觀眾。通過與WGBH電視臺合作,他們開發(fā)了所謂的“開放式字幕”,即不需特殊設(shè)備、所有電視機都能接收到的字幕。后來又出現(xiàn)了“閉路式字幕”,這需要在電視機上安裝一個解碼器,接收電視臺發(fā)送的字幕信號,字幕才能出現(xiàn)在電視機上。

S1 【答案】During television’s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun because they could not hear what was being said/ could not catch the talking.

than sports and action shows because there was a lot of dialogue 。

【譯文】耳聾的電視觀眾不喜歡除了體育和動作片以外的電視節(jié)目是因為其它節(jié)目的對話很多。

【詳細(xì)解答】見原文第二段第二句“If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers could

n’t follow the plot.”,如果有許多對話,聾人就跟不上故事情節(jié)的發(fā)展了?梢,其它電視節(jié)目對話多,而聾人又聽不懂,所以他們不喜歡這種節(jié)目。

S3 【答案】In the late 1960s, Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy television programs with the help of caption .

視節(jié)目加字幕的觀點。

S5 【答案】A decoder is a machine to make the captions appear on the TV s

creen .

【詳細(xì)解答】見原文最后一段,If a family had another kind of machine in their home

S6 【答案】“open captions” are captions that can be seen on any television without any special equipment.

S8 【答案】The advantage of the way of closed captions may be the fact that it would not bother hearing people .

【譯文】“閉路式”字幕的好處也許是不干擾正常人。

【詳細(xì)解答】見原文第四段,Too many people were against the idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning - one that would not bother hearing

people.聽力正常的人反對電視節(jié)目用字幕,所以Norwood希望開發(fā)一種不干擾正常人的字幕

,閉路式字幕如果不需要,字幕可以不顯示,所以能滿足這一要求。

Some Suggestions to the President of Our University

Dear Sir:

I’ve been here for two years. I am very satisfied with my university, but it does not follow that there is no room for improvement.

First, I believe a better job can be done with respect to the guidance of our study methods. Although university students have the ability to study independently, sometimes when we try to choose good books to read and appropriate topics for

our research we still feel at a loss. We need someone to give us some advice. If you could arrange more lectures on “how to learn by yourself” for us, especially for the freshmen, it will do much good to our study.

Second, more activities should be arranged to make our campus life more interesting. I’m sorry to say that at present life on campus is quite boring. Everyday we have classes, read in the library, or stay in the dormitory. Life becomes a routine. We need more meaningful activities organized to cheer us up and make our study more efficient. I hope you can consider my suggestions. Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming
