Part Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school. And, by the time that the average child finishes high school, he or she will have spent 18,000 hours in front of a television set as opposed to 12,000 hours in a classroom.

Parents are concerned about these figures. They are also concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Even if it is unreal—a cartoon cat beating up a cartoon mouse with a baseball bat—this violence may have a negative effect on the young minds exposed to it. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.

Parents are also concerned about the commercials that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.

Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is “Sesame Street”, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.

Even though most parents and educators give “Sesame Street” and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These

critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it.

We still do not know enough about the effects of watching television to be able to say whether or not it is good for children. Until we do, perhaps it would be wise to put a warning on television sets such as the one on cigarette packages: “Caution: Watching Too Much Television May Be Harmful to Your Child’s Developing Mind.”

41. We can infer from the text that _______.

A. parents are strongly opposed to children watching TV

B. a cartoon program is not harmful if it is not real

C. children may imitate what they have seen on television

D. the quality of children’s programs is not the parents’ main concern

42. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text about some parents’ attitudes toward commercials?

A. Children should never watch commercials on TV.

B. Advertisers are not always telling truth in commercials.

C. Children can benefit from some commercials.

D. There shouldn’t be too many commercials in children’s programs.

43. Some critics argue that children should not watch TV because _______.

A. they can learn little from educational programs

B. TV programs are of poor quality

C. there is too much violence on TV

D. watching TV makes their way of life passive

44. Which of the following is the author’s opinion?

A. We should limit the children’s time in watching TV.

B. We should improve educational programs for children.

C. No commercials should be shown in children’s programs.

D. TV programs may prevent children from developing their minds.

45. The best title for the text would be _______.

A. Education and Television

B. Children and Television

C. Bad Influence of Television

D. TV Programs for Children

Passage Two

The tanker lay in the bay for four days, a few hundred meters from the shore. In this tideless water she lay as still and secure as if fastened to a wall. In a way, she was, for the sandy bottom held her in its grip. Twice the harbor master’s boat went out to her; the second time it brought off a number of the crew. It never occurred to the watchers on shore that the ship was in danger, she looked so calm and seaworthy. From time to time there was activity on board: when a land wind rose in the evenings, the tanker’s engines came to life. Then the vessel shook herself and strained fiercely, but none of it did her any good. She just stayed where she was in the bay.

The July sun blazed down on her flat decks. Occasionally a seaman, stripped to the waist, came out on to the deck with the movements of someone performing a complicated dance, stepping lightly, never resting on that burning metal. Once or twice he kept close to the ship’s rail, with an arm raised against the sunlight, staring at the people on the beach. Throughout the day the air rose in visible waves from the tanker’s decks. When a sea wind blew, it brought with it the heavy smell of oil. At night the ship lay in total darkness.

On the fifth morning a thick bank of sea mist filled the bay. It seemed that the tanker had got away in the night and gone into harbor. But this was an illusion. Slowly, as the fog cleared a little, she came into view again but farther out. Soon two figures could be seen at work on her decks. There was the sound of hammering, of metal and then of something heavy falling on to the deck. At once the watchers on shore were half blinded by a flash of yellow light that enveloped the ship from end to end. The explosion that followed the flash was like a single crack from a giant whip. In a moment the ship, except for a dark line at water level, was lost to sight behind the flames.

Two bodies were washed ashore in the bay. They were stripped to the waist, bare footed, and black with flash bums. The right arm of one body was raised to the forehead as if shielding the eyes from some bright light. The other man wore a gold chain round his neck. The tanker burned for nine days and nights.

46. The tanker could not sail into the harbor because _______.

A. the tide was not suitable

B. she had run aground on sand

C. her engines had broken down

D. most of her crew had gone ashore

47. The people who were watching from the beach _______.

A. offered to help without knowing what to do

B. did not want to put themselves in any danger

C. realized the trouble but could do nothing about it

D. did not know there was something wrong with th, e ship

48. The seaman moved like dancing on the deck because _______.

A. he was doing some physical exercise

B. that was the best way to keep balance

C. the deck was uncomfortable to stand on

D. he wanted to attract the watchers’ attention

49. The explosion occurred on the tanker when _______.

A. she was struck by lightning

B. two seamen were working

C. she was unloading her oil

D. the fog began to clear up

50. What happened to the two seamen in the end?

A. They were killed in the explosion.

B. They survived but were badly burned.

C. They died shortly after reaching the beach.

D. They were blown off the ship and swam ashore.

Passage Three

The rate of population growth is fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birthrate is accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced death rate by an increased use of family planning. In practice, however, population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their societies.

Population control has long been a subject of discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a large population.

One of the difficulties in implementing birth control lies in the fact that the official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate. In a well developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.

51. One reason for quick population increase in underdeveloped countries is that _______.

A. those countries encourage people to have large families

B. people can get government support if they have more kids

C. improved public health standards have reduced death rate greatly

D. those countries have enough resources to support a large population

52. The writer suggests that policy makers should consider cultural values _______.

A. in carrying out family planning

B. in producing birth control drugs

C. in improving public health standards

D. in introducing birth control techniques

53. A large population in an underdeveloped country may lead to _______.

A. a rise in work efficiency

B. a shortage of farm workers

C. a decline in grain production

D. a reduction in average income

54. Some people believe that population control in developed countries may _______.

A. increase market demand

B. lower unemployment rate

C. slow down economic growth

D. create more job opportunities

55. According to the writer, developed countries prefer _______.

A. a standstill population

B. a fast increasing population

C. a slowly growing population

D. a steadily decreasing population

Passage Four

The United States is a country made up of many different races. Usually they are mixed together and can’t be told one from another. But many of them still talk about where their ancestors came from. It is something they are proud of.

The original Americans, of course, were the Indians. The so called white men who then came were mostly from England. But many came from other countries like Germany and France.

One problem the United States has always had is discrimination. As new groups came to the United States they found they were discriminated against. First it was the Irish and Italians. Later it was the blacks. Almost every group has been able to eventually escape this discrimination. The only immigrants who have not are the blacks. Surprisingly enough the worst discrimination today is shown towards the Indians.

One reason the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried so hard to keep their identity. Of course they are not the only ones who have done so. The Japanese have their Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and the Chinese a Chinatown in New York. The Dutch settlement in Pennsylvania also stays separate from other people. Their towns are like something from the 19th century. They have a different reason from the other groups for staying apart. They live separately for religious reasons rather than keeping together in a racial group.

Although some groups have kept themselves separate and others have been discriminated against, all groups have helped make the United States a great country. There is no group that has not helped in some way. And there is no group that can say they have done the most to make it a great country.

Many people still come from other countries to help the United States grow. A good example is the American project that let a man walk on the moon. It was a scientist from Germany who was most responsible for doing that. It is certain that in the future the United States will still need the help of people from all racial groups to remain a great country.

56. Which of the following statements can best describe the main idea of this passage?

A. The United States is a country made up of many different races.

B. Discrimination is the most serious problem in the United States.

C. All the races in the United States have helped make the country a great one.

D. The prosperity of the United States is mainly due to the hard work of the most discriminated races.

57. In the first paragraph, the word “told” means _______.

A. separated

B. distinguished

C. revealed

D. made known

58. This passage implies that discrimination is a problem which _______.

A. many races in the United States have experienced

B. is still very serious in the United States

C. has already been solved in the United States

D. is strongly opposed by many different races in the United States

59. The main reason why the Indians are most discriminated against is that _______.

A. they have tried hard to keep their religious

B. they have tried hard to live together to keep their Indian customs

C. they are the only ones who tried to keep their identity

D. they discriminate many other races

60. The Dutch live separately in Pennsylvania _______.

A. to escape discrimination

B. to enjoy themselves in their own towns

C. to keep together in a racial group

D. for religious reasons

But it is not 43 for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more 44 than younger men, but they probably climb more skill and less 45 of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
