Reading Comprehension (40 points) 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 the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage 1 Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage Television has opened windows in everybody's life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914. Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the sc-Teen. Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count. Unfortunately, television's influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All educators agree that the "television generations" are more violent than their parents and grandparents. Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn't do funny things like the people on children's programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That's the time it takes on the screen. 56. In the past, many young people__________. A. knew the effects of war B. went in for politics C. liked to save the wounded in wars D. were willing to be soldiers 57. Now with TV people can__________. A. discus politics at an information center B. show more interest in politics C. make theft own decisions on political affairs D. express their opinions freely 58. The author thinks that TV advertisements__________. A. are not reliable on the whole B. are useless to people C. are a good guide to adults D. are very harmful to the young 59. Which is NOT true according to the passage? A. People have become used to crimes now. B. With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly. C. People now like to read books with pictures. D. The adults are less violent than the young. 60. From the passage, we can conclude that__________. A. children should keep away from TV B. TV programs should be improved C. children's books should have pictures D. TV has a deep influence on the young Passage 2 Questions 61-65 are based on the following passage In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly ail the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness. 61. According to the passage, the U.S. elementary education is supposed to make children__________. A. sensible and sensitive B. competitive and interested C. curious and friendly D. happy and co-operative 62. Some Americans complain about elementary schools because they think__________. A. children are reluctant to help each other B. schools lay too much emphasis on co-operation C. children should grow up with competitive ideas D. schools give little actual instruction to children 63. The author's attitude towards American education can be best described as__________. A. favorable B. negative C. tolerant D. unfriendly 64. The American educational system emphasizes__________. A. material wealth B. competition C. co-operation D. personal benefit 65. The word "sociable" (Paragraph 2) most probably means__________. A. fond of talking freely B. friendly with other people C. concerned about social welfare D. happy at school Passage 3 Questions 66-70 are based on the following passage Feeling tired lately? Has the doctor said he cannot find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong. Then consider this, you might be in a state of subhealth. Subhealth, also called the third state or grey state, is explained as a border line state between health and disease. According to an investigation by the National Health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealth people are middle aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam time. Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression, slow reactions, insomnia, agitation and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs. The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work with rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open-air activities. As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish, because they are rich in nutritional elements-vitamins, and trace elements--that are important to the body. Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract. They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth. 66.According to this passage, which of the following is right？ A. When you are in a state of subhealth，you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine. B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay home and keep silent. C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself. D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries. 67. Middle aged people may feel subhealth, because______. A. they have lost their living hopes B. they have more pressure in life and work C. they have used up their energy. D. they begin to get energy 68. The answer for preventing you from falling into a state of subhealth is that you should_____. A. work hard B. sleep more C. take more medicine D. be deep relaxed and form good living habits 69. As for food， experts suggest that_________. A. we should eat less B. we should never eat meat C. we should have meals with less salt and sugar D. we should have meals without salt or sugar 70. The underlined word "alternate" in this passage means_____. A. keep up B. take up C. arrange by turns D. cause to take place Passage 4 Questions 71-75 are based on the following passage Equal pay for equal work is a phrase used by the American women who feel that are looked down upon by society. They say it is for women to be paid less than men for the same work People who hold the opposite opinion (mainly men) have an answer to this. They say that men have more responsibility than women; a married man is expected to earn money to support his family and to make the important decision, and therefore it is right for men to be paid more. There are some people who hold even stronger opinion than this and are against married women working at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention to. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take full time job, they will be unable to do the things. Women are best at making a comfortable home and bringing up children. They will have to give up their present position in society. This is exactly what they want to give up, the women who disagree to say. They want to escape from the limited place which society expects them to fill and to have freedom to choose between a job and home life, or mixture of the two. Women have the right of equal pay and equal opportunities. These women have expressed their opinions forcefully by using the famous saying, "All men are created equal." They point out that the meaning of this sentence is "all human being are created equal." 71. The women use the phrase "equal pay for equal work" to demand that _____. A. woman's work shouldn't be harder than men's B. men should be paid less than women C. people doing harder work should earn more D. men and women should be paid the same amount of money for the same work 72.What exactly do the women who disagree want to give up？ A. Their job B. Their home life C. Their right to pay D. Their present position in society 73. People who disagree with women's opinions believe _____. A. women can't do what men can B. men can earn money more easily than women C. men's responsibilities are different from women's D. men have to work much harder than women 74. The women use the saying "all men created equal" to show that ___. A. the position of women has changed a little in modern time B. in American society men and women should in modern time C. men's right are always considered more important than women's D. men and women had equal power in early American society 75.
