Part V Reading Comprehension (25 minutes) Directions: In this section, there are 4 passages. 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 1

When critics wish to repudiate the world in which we live today, one of their familiar ways to do it is to castigate modern man because anxiety is his chief problem. This, they say, in W. H. Auden’s phrase, is the age of anxiety. This is what have arrived at with all our vaulted progress, our great technological advances, our great wealth —everyone goes about with a burden of anxiety so enormous that, in the end, our stomachs and our arteries and our skins express the tension under which we live. Americans who have lived in Europe come back to comment on our favorite farewell which, instead of the old goodbye (God be with you), is now ―Take it easy,‖ each American admonishing the other not to break down from the tension and strain of modern life.

Whenever an age is characterized by a phrase, it is presumably in contrast to other age. If we are the age of anxiety, what were other ages? And here the critics and carpers do a very amusing thing. First, they give us lists of the opposites of anxiety: security, trust, self-confidence, self-direction. Then, without much further discussion, they let us assume that other periods of history, were somehow the ages of trust or confident direction.

The savage who, on his south Sea island, simply sat and let breadfruit fall into his lap, the simple peasant, at one with the fields he ploughed and the beasts he tended, the craftsman busy with his tools and lost in the fulfillment of the instinct of workmanship —these are the counter-images conjured up by descriptions of the strain under which men live today. But no one who lived in those days has returned to testify how paradisiacal they really were.

Certainly if we observe and question the savages or simple peasants in the world today, we find something quite different. The untouched savage in the middle of New Guinea isn’t anxious; he is seriously and continuously frightened —of black magic, of enemies with spears who may kill him or his wives and children at any moment, while they stoop to drink from a spring, or climb a palm tree for a coconut. He goes warily, day and night, taut and fearful.

As for the peasant populations of a great part of the world, they aren’t so much anxious as hungry. They aren’t anxious about whether we will get a salary raise, or which of the three colleges of their choice they will be admitted to, or whether to buy a Ford or Cadillac, or whether the kind of TV set they want is too expensive. They are hungry, cold and, in many parts of the world, they dread that local warfare, bandits, political coups may endanger their homes, their merger livelihoods, and their lives. But surely they are not anxious.

For anxiety, as we have come to use it to describe our characteristic state of mind, can be contrasted with the active fear of hunger, loss, violence, and death. Anxiety is the appropriate emotion when the immediate personal terror —of a volcano, an arrow, the sorcerer’s spell, a stab in the back and other calamities, all directed against one’s self —disappears.

81. When critics wish to repudiate the world in which we live today, one of their familiar ways of doing it is to _____.

A. blame modern man who is anxious now and then

B. blame modern man for making the world uninhabitable

C. criticize modern man severely because his chief problem is anxiety

D. reproach modern man saying that he is responsible for the age of anxiety

82. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that the author seems to _____.

A. agree with the critics that other ages were the opposites of the age of anxiety

B. disagree with what the critics said: other ages were in contrast to the age of anxiety

C. say that a simple classification of the ages is misleading

D. suggest that classifying the ages is a very amusing thing

83. If we observe and question the savages or simple peasants in the world today, we find the savages_____.

A. continually frightened

B. very anxious

C. hungry

D. dejected

84. According to the author, most of the peasants of the world _____.

A. dread that the price of automobiles may rise.

B. are fearful that the colleges of their choice should not admit them.

C. are very much concerned about local warfare, bandits and political coups

D. are uncertain whether a color TV set is too expensive for them.

85. Anxiety, as we have come to use it, means_____.

A. the active fear of hunger

B. the active fear of violence

C. the immediate active sense of impending disaster

D. All of the above.

Passage 2

Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most devastating forces known to man; since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake –related fatalities have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake – related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life has been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis, and other phenomena resulting from earthquakes, rather than form the quakes themselves.

The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area encompasses the Pacific Ocean and its contiguous land masses. The other extends from the East Indies to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.

This element of the unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dread and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake predication may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth’s crust, variations in the force of gravity and the earth’s magnetic field, and the frequency with which minor earth tremors are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in anticipating when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.

It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and eliminate their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their potential devastation before it occurs.

86.Which of the following is TRUE based on what you have just read?

A. It’s commonly agreed that earthquakes are highly feared, but actually relatively harmless.

B. There is no absolutely accurate way to predict when or where earthquakes might occur.

C. Most scientists think that man is now able to predict when earthquakes will happen.

D. Most scientists think that man is now able to predict where earthquakes will happen.

87.What is the probable meaning of ―contiguous‖ (Line 2, Para.2)?

A. Underwater.

B. Ancient.

C. Bordering.

D. Huge.

88.What does this element of the unknown (Line 1, Para.3) refer to?

A. The fact that there are two great earthquake zones.

B. The fact that earthquakes can happen at any time or place.

C. The fact that the percentage of earthquakes is low.

D. The fact that exact cause of earthquakes is not clear.

89.Which of the following have been used to anticipate earthquake activity?

A. Differences in the earth’s magnetic field and force of gravity.

B. How often minor earth tremors have been observed.

C. Patterns in the movement of the earth’s crust.

D. All of the above.

90.Which of the following describes the author’s attitude t oward the possibility of earthquake predication?

A. It will never be possible to predict earthquakes.

B. Earthquakes can already be predicted with great accuracy.

C. There is really no need to try to predict earthquake occurrences.

D. Earthquake prediction is becoming more and more possible.

Passage 3

To understand the marketing concept, it is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling. Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the efficient production of goods, and then relied on ―persuasive salesmanship‖ to move as much of goods as possible. Such production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convent them into money.

Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easier to produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.

This concept does not imply that business is benevolent or that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every business transaction —the firm and the customer —and each must be satisfied before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca-Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then marketed alongside the new, the King Customer rules!

91.The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence, _____.

A. the practice of turning goods into money

B. making goods available for purchase

C. the customer-centered approach

D. a form of persuasive salesmanship

92.What was the main concern of industrialists before the marketing concept was widely accepted?

A. The needs of the market.

B. The efficiency of production.

C. The satisfaction of the user.

D. The preferences of the dealer.

93.According to the passage, ―to move as much of these goods as possible‖ means ―_____‖.

A. to sell the largest possible amount of goods

B. to transport goods as efficiently as possible

C. to dispose of these goods in large quantities

D. to redesign these goods for large-scale production

94.What does the restoration of the Classic Coke best illustrate?

A. Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of people.

B. It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.

C. Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to please.

D. Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.

95.In discussion of the marketing concept, the author focuses on_____.

A. its main characteristics

B. its social impact

C. its possible consequences

D. its theoretical basis Passage 4

Although April did not bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the atmospheric sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.

The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, do you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.

Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.

Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound

of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark.

96. According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley, _____.

A. rains usually come without thunder and lightning

B. it is usually dry in April

C. children pay no attention to natural phenomena

D. parents are not interested in thunder and lightning

97. We believe that lightning is a downward motion because _____.

A. we were taught so by our parents from our childhood

B. we are deceived by our sense of vision

C. it is a common natural phenomenon

D. it is a truth proved by science

98. What is TRUE about lightning according to the passage?

A. Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.

B. Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder.

C. Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.

D. There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can imagine.

99. The word ―activity‖ (Line4, Para.3) is most closely related to the word(s) _____.

A. cloud

B. lightning flashes

C. lightning strikes

D. thunderstorms

100. It can be concluded from the passage that _____.

A. we should not believe what we see or hear

B. things moving downward are more noticeable

C. people often have wrong concepts about ordinary phenomena

D. adults are not as good as children in observing certain natural phenomena

Directions: There are 6 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. You are to answer each question or complete the statement by deciding on the best choice. Mark the corresponding letters on the Answer Sheet.

TEXT 1

Since the earliest times in England, the traveler’s inn has always b een a warm and hospitable place, a gathering place for voyagers to rest and recover. The tireless landlord, the local customers sharing drinks and food, the welcoming atmosphere, have all become part of the legend of the typical English country and city life. In later centuries, the English tavern took on the role of community gathering place, being the location where friendly chatter and fierce social debate mixed with business discussions, and food, wine, beer and coffee were consumed as the noise of convivial(酒宴的) exchanges rose.

In modern times, the English pub often continues to function as the communal meeting place, especially for people whose homes are too small to entertain any number of guests or friends. In many Asian countries, the local restaurant serves a similar social function.

In Ireland, the pub has acted as a central attraction for poorer villagers in the rural areas, and as a literary and social focus in the cities. In keeping with the sociable nature of pub gatherings, music as well as talk has become a central part of this institution in Ireland.

Now people around the world are able to experience the friendly nature of the Irish pub, which follows in the wake of its English equivalent as a welcome and growing export. English pubs have been found in America, in parts of Europe and throughout the world where English people have settled. Today the Irish pub is witnessing an outburst of international popularity as Westerners turn away from their television and computer screens and seek to put a human face to their social contacts. They are finding it in the bars and corners of Irish pubs, where Guinness stout, the Irish national drink, is available in the tall, dark creamy pint glasses and Irish music is the regular fare.

In Mr. McCarville's view, a pub is a place where you and your friends should be able to walk in and have a drink and talk to each other. But in traditional pubs everywhere there is loud raucous music so that customers can't talk. He says that in all the traditional pubs in Australia they are putting poker machines, and Mr. McCarville saw many vacant looking people gambling. He feels that these pubs are no longer pleasant places to go to have a drink because you can't talk to anyone.“The one place where conversation has always been great is an Irish pub, so everywhere they are set up they become very popular,”he says.

“There is music in them, but it is Irish music. It may be traditional or modern Irish music, but it is happy, infectious music which stimulates the mood of the place and does not overpower it.”So Irish pubs are spreading.

26. The English pub is developed from ____.

A. the Irish pub

B. the English inn

C. the Scotch pub

D. the traveller's inn

27. What's the function of the English pub?

A. The pub continues to act as a central attraction.

B. It is the literary and social focus.

C. It is the place where you can consume food and wine.

D. It takes the role of community meeting place.

28. Which kind of pub has a growing export?

A. The Irish pub.

B. The English pub.

C. The Scotch pub.

D. The Australian pub.

29. Accoridng to McCarville's view, why is Irish pub a warm and hospitable place?

A. There is loud harsh music to stimulate the mood of the pub.

B. Poker machines are put there so that everyone can play while drinking.

C. It is the great place for conversation.

D. You can enjoy happy music in it.

30. In the passage, the author mainly talks about ____.

A. the Irish pub

B. the English pub

C. the Scotch pub

D. the Australian pub

TEXT 2

Have you ever known a couple that just didn’t seem as though they should fit together--yet they are both happy in the marriage, and you can't figure out why. What mysterious force drives us into the arms of one person while pushing us away from another?

Of the many factors influencing our idea of the perfect mate, one of the most telling, according to John Money, professor emeritus of medical psychology and pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University，is what he calls our ―love map‖--a group of messages encoded in our brains that describes our likes and dislikes. It shows our preferences in hair and eye color, in voice, smell, and body build. It also records the kind of personality that appeals to us, whether it’s the warm and friendly type or the strong, silent type.

When I lecture，I often ask the audience what drew them to their dates or mates. Answers range from ―She is strong and independent‖ to ―I love his sense of humor‖. I know that if I were to ask those same men and women to describe their mothers, there would be many similarities between their ideal mates and their moms. Yes, our mothers—the first real love of our lives—write a significant portion of our love map.

When we are little, our mother is the center of our attention. So our mother’s characteristics leave an indelible impression, and we are forever after attracted to people with her facial features, body type, personality, even sense of humor. Mother has an additional influence on her sons: she not only gives then clues to what they will find attractive in mate, but also affects how they feel about women in general. So if she is warm and nice，her sons are going to think that’s the way women are．Conversely，a mother who has a depressive personality and is sometimes friendly but then suddenly turns cold and rejecting，may raise a man who becomes a ―dance-away lover‖.

While the mother determines in large part what qualities attract us in a mate，it’s the father--the first male in our lives--who influences how we relate to the opposite sex. Fathers have an enormous effect on their children’s personalities and chances of marital happiness．Just as mothers influence their sons, fathers influence their daughter’s general feelings about men．If a father lavishes his praise on his daughter and demonstrates that she is a worthwhile person she'll feel very good about herself in relation to men．But if the father is cold, critical or absent，the daughter will tend to feel she's not very lovable or attractive．

In addition，most of us grow up with people of similar social circumstances. We hang around with people in the same town; our friends have about the same educational backgrounds and career goals．We tend to be most comfortable with these people，and therefore we tend to link up with others whose families are often much like our own．

31. Which of the following is right to describe ―love map‖?

A. Our preference in hair and eye color, in voice，etc.

B. What our parents want us to do．

C. A group of messages encoded in our brains．

D. The kind of personality that attracts us.

32. How do mothers influence people's ―love map‖？

A. Mothers tend to influence their son more than they do their daughter．

B. The son will be irresponsible to his family if the mother is irresponsible.

C. Sons will only fall in love with the ones who look like his mother．

D. People are attracted by the ones with their mother’s characteristics.

33. What will a ―dance-away lover‖ probably do？

A. He runs away when someone gets too close.

B. He likes dancing with his lover or mate．

C. He keeps a distance away from his beloved.

D. He clings to the illusion of intimacy.

34. Father is more important than mother in determining ________.

A. the qualities of a mate that attracts us

B. the material condition of those who attract us

C. how we relate to the opposite sex

D. the personality of the persons who attract us

35. It can be inferred from the passage that___________.

A. Daughters always praised by fathers relate well to the opposite sex

B. it’s hard for children from single parent families to their mates

C. sons of loving mothers will get married at an early age

D. friends will decide who we will be in love with

TEXT 3

The discovery of planets around distant stars has become like space-shuttle launches--newsworthy but just barely. With some 50 extra-solar planets under their belt, astronomers have to announce something really strange to get anyone's attention.

Last week they did just that. Standing in front of colleagues and reporters at the American Astronomical Society's semiannual meeting in San Diego, the world's premier planet-hunting team--astronomer Geoffrey Marcy of the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues--presented not one but two remarkable finds. The first is a pair of planets, each about the mass of Jupiter, that whirl around their home star 15 light-years from Earth in perfect lockstep. One takes 30 days to complete an orbit, the other exactly twice as long. Nobody has ever seen such a configuration. But the second discovery is far stranger--a solar system 123 light-years away, in the constellation Serpens, that harbors one "ordinary" planet and another so huge--17 times as massive as Jupiter--that nobody can quite figure out what it can be. It is, says Marcy, "a bit frightening."

What's frightening is that these discoveries make it clear how little astronomers know about planets, and they add to the dawning realization that our solar system--and by implication Planet Earth--may be a cosmic oddball. For years theorists figured that other stars would have planets more or less like the ones going around the sun. But starting with the 1995 discovery of the first extra solar planet--a gassy monster like Jupiter but orbiting seven times as close to its star as Mercury orbits around our sun--each new find has seemed stranger than the last. Searchers have found more "hot Jupiters" like that first discovery. These include huge planets that career around their stars not in circular orbits

but in elongated ones; their gravity would send any Earthlike neighbors flying off into space. Says Princeton astronomer Scott Tremaine: "Not a single prediction for what we'd find in other systems has turned out to be correct."

Last week's giant was the most unexpected discovery yet. Conventional theory suggests that it must have formed like a star, from a collapsing cloud of interstellar gas. Its smaller companion, only seven times Jupiter's mass, is almost certainly a planet, formed by the buildup of gas and dust left over from a star's formation. Yet the fact that these two orbs are so close together suggests to some theorists that they must have formed together--so maybe the bigger one is a planet after all.

Or maybe astronomers will have to rethink their definition of "planet." Just because we put heavenly objects into categories doesn't mean the distinctions are necessarily valid. And as Tremaine puts it, "When your classification schemes start breaking down, you know you're learning something exciting. This is wonderful stuff."

36. The author believes that _______.

A. the discovery of planets is as important as the launch of space shuttles

B. astronomers have been making a lot of discoveries of planets

C. the public has no interest in astronomical discoveries

D. there is little for astronomers to discover now

A. the planets are far from our solar system

B. the sizes of the plants are too huge.

C. astronomers have never seen similar orbiting pattern and size before

D. scientists can not figure out what they can be

38. By sa ying that our solar system ―may be a cosmic oddball‖, the author intends to render the idea that _______.

A. other stars have planets more or less like the one going around the sun

B. the orbits of extra-solar planets around their stars are elongated ones

C. the way planets orbiting around the sun in our solar system is quite unique

D. planets in other systems are generally huger than the ones in ours

39. The case of the giant heavenly body demonstrates that ______.

A. conventional theory can not explain such astronomical phenomenon satisfactorily

B. it is either a star or a planet

C. it was formed like a star and orbits like a planet

D. theorists give a wrong definition of ―planet‖

40. The best title for this passage could be ________.

A. New Planetary Puzzlers

B. Two Remarkable Finds

C. A Redefinition of ―Planet‖

D. ―Hot Jupiters‖ Challenging Conventional Theory

TEXT 4

What do soccer moms fantasize about? That list would probably be too long—and semi-unprintable. But some of them dream of hanging up their sneakers and becoming police officers. Or chefs. Or architects. At least that’s what TLC is betting on.

In a new reality show called ―The Secret Life of a Soccer Mom,‖ the network is offering stay-at-home mothers the chance to spend a week back at the career they left—or simply wished they’d had—before they had kids. The twist was supposed to be that at the end of the week, the mom would decide whether they want to keep working. But TLC has discovered that their show packs a much bigger wallop than that. In fact, it’s touched off a war—another Mommy War.
