Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some ques tions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding l etter on the ANSWEAR SHEET.

Passage One

Ever since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving com ments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager. We’ve heard everythi ng from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, now that she’s a teenager ...” to the eve r inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it th e best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters.

I know that teenagers can be moody a nd difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also b e difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very poi nt they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovi ngly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell t hem to respect themselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them. I ha ve, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For exa mple, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant a nd two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first th ought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyon d the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw wh at fine people these kids were.

Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappy about the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unles s we give them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain.

41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect ______.

A. trouble

B. sympathy

C. congratulations

D. inspiring comments

42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble with parents is that ______.

A. they are too watchful of their teenage children

B. they are too concerned about their children’s futur e

C. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respect

D. they speak ill of their children within their hearing

43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thoug ht was ______.

A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruined

B. something interesting was going to happen over dinner

C. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinner

D. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise

44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?

A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.

B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.

C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.

D. They will respect you if you respect them.

45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.

B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.

C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.

D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.

Passage Two

More and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions ar e controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever eno ugh to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.

It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not onl y unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.

Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught m ay have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.

Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, co mputer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be char ged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too ofte n, their demands have been met.

Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if

the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought o f a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.

46. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.

A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes today

B. people commit computer crimes at the request of their company

C. computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detected

D. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions

47. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.

A. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luck

B. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problem

C. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimes

D. many more computer crimes, which are discovered, go undetected

48. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?

A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.

B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.

C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.

D. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.

49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?

A. With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.

B. They may walk away and easily find another job.

C. They will be denied access to confidential records.

D. They must leave the country to go to jail.

50. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. why computer criminals are often able to escape punishment

B. why computer crimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspections

C. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former employers

D. why computer crimes can’t be eliminated

Passage Three

Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bum ps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zon e” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Ameri cans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s le ngth”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and to uch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an Ameri can while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.

When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume t hat he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers—to be rude.

51. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about______.

A. classification of nonverbal communication

B. the reasons why people should think about space

C. the relationship between communication and space

D. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication

52. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their_____ _.

A. cultural origin

B. habits

C. custom

D. nationality

53. When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions______.

A. he stands about four feet away

B. “comfort zone” does not ex ist

C. keeping close enough is preferred

D. communication barriers may emerge

54. A “poker face” (Line 3, Para. 2) refers to a face which is______.

A. attentive

B. emotional

C. suspicious

D. expressionless

55. In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to____.

A. maintain direct eye contact

B. hide emotions with a deadpan expression

C. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadness

D. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politely

Passage Four

After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report; the damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse. More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar

intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims. Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, whe n traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction c odes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and h ighways, making them more resistant to quakes.

Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foun dation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the i mpact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as conc rete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart struc tures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.

56. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively lo w is that______.

A. new computers had been installed in the buildings

B. it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highways

C. large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holiday

D. improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways

57. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.

A. counter-balance an earthquake’s action on the building

B. predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracy

C. help strengthen the foundation of the building

D. measure the impact of an earthquake’s vibrations

58. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ______.

A. would cause serious financial problems

B. would be worthwhile though costly

C. would increase the complexity of architectural design

D. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes

59. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthqua kes attention should be focused on ______.

A. the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital construction

B. the development of flexible building materials

C. the reduction of the impact of ground vibrations

D. early forecasts of earthquakes

60. The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to______.

A. compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U. S.

B. encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computers

C. outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materials

D. report new developments in constructing quake-resistant building

The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (暗淡的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a

College English Test Part I Skimming and Scanning (Each item: 1 point; total: 10 points) [15 minutes] Directions: In this part, you will go over the passage quickly and choose the best answer to each question and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. For questions 1 - 7, mark A. Y, B. N and C. NG; For questions 8- 10, fill in the balnk with proper words Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage. World of the Future Scientists think that wonderful things may come true in the future. Future means a time that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won't come tree, we think, until a long time from now. Some, of course, may never come true--but who knows for sure? They may. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? A world underground The green utopia (an ideally perfect place) underground is going to help us regain a more harmonious relationship between the often opposing sides of large-scale development and our ecosystem. The city may be called Alice City, from Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland, which offers a wonderful world that is almost as fantastical as that was described in the book. A large clear dome (圆顶), within an area of open parkland, leads into a multi-leveled structured metropolis of underground offices, housing, transportation and public areas. There will be everything to make the city as self-sufficient as possible including shopping malls, theatres and sports complexes in addition to facilities (contained in a separate structure) for power generation, heating and waste recycling. Apart from offering an almost limitless space for development, such underground development has many more attractive ecological advantages over traditional forms of housing. It is less disturbing than high rise development and therefore favorable in environmentally sensitive areas. Land above the complex can be set aside for parkland and recreational use. In towns or cities where pollution levels are high, air can be filtered through air pipes in the roof of an underground housing or industrial complex. A world underwater At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine starts to push. Down slides the submarine--like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper under the water. Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an air-plane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that--hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! A world in space Let's go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way-up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. A new world on the Earth Let's go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls--and boys, too--may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers --machines that answer questions and do arithmetic faster than you can blink. Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer. Imagine a race between them! There may be telepathy (心灵感应) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! Robots There will be other surprises in the future. How would you like to have a robot playmate? Having robot playmates may not be-so much fun as it seems. But maybe a boy with a wrench (扳手) and a screwdriver can fix the robot so that it won't be too perfect! Food What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial --made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. You don't think that ice-cream or cake or candy or even bread and potatoes made out of these things will taste very good? You may be wrong. These artificial things will be blended so skillfully by food chemists that the food of the future probably will be delicious. It probably will also be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. A longer life Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last longer. They probably will find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. TV Are you wondering whether there'll be television in the future? There'll almost certainly be wonderful programs. Television screens probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you. Highways What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving by car will be as safe as being at home. Weather control But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won't have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live. But the time you axe living in now was also "a wonderful future" to the people who lived 100 years ago. 1. The underground city would get its name from a book called Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland. A. Y B. N C. NG 2. The multi-leveled structure underground would include everything that is necessary to a city, from offices, shopping malls to power and heating system. A. Y B. N C. NG
