Part III: Reading Comprehension（30%）(15x2’)

Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 3 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.

Questions 36-40 are based on the following passage.

College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, e.g. being on my own, talking with friendly people. These are some of the things I like about college.

First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, \your homework?\for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a current or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!

Friendly people, that's another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, \you a new student?\When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said: \we're going.\around to talk with.

I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things

meeting at three!

All these things are important. If only you could rearrange them without breaking your concentration. And you can! We’ve heard about quality time at home– why not quality time on the job?

Begin by finding out those parts of the day during which you’re most creative. You may work best in the morning or in the afternoon. No matter – just find your time and build a wall around it.

Say that for you, quality time begins at ten. Focus on your major task then, and don’t let anything interrupt you. If you have a secretary, tell her or him to hold all calls and visitors; if you don’t, try to ask a colleague to help you. The point is that both outsiders and colleagues will know that you will not be available for a part of each day. Why? Because you are working!

Prepare for this special block of time as carefully as you would for an important meeting. Don’t waste precious minutes searching for memos or notes. Be ready to begin precisely at ten, and get the most out of every second. You might like to use your block simply for thinking about a project, problem or a new idea.

Start small – maybe thirty or forty minutes, three times a week, building up to at least an hour. Sure, you’ll have to chip away at your block a little sometimes, but guard that hour as you would any other valued possession.

41. You should let other people know that you are not available during your quality time because ____.

A. you are working B. your boss has a rush job. C. a visitor has come D. you are busy 42.You should prepare for your quality time the way ____ .

A. you think about and plan a project B. you prepare an important meeting C. you receive important visitors D. you write memos and notes

43.When you focus on your major task, you’d better ask your secretary to _____.

A. get everything ready for you B. attend meetings instead of you C. hold all calls and visitors D. write down memos and notes 44. Build a wall around it in paragraph 3 is similar in meaning to _____.

A. guard it . B. focus your attention on it； C. create it D. get ready for it

45. According to the passage, when don’t you want to be interrupted?

A. When a friend stops by.

B. When your boss gives you a rush job to do. C. When you have a meeting.

D. When you are given a major task.

Question 46 - 50 are based on the following passage.

第 5 页 共 7 页

I remember quite clearly the first time I was really shaken by my wife’s intuition. We were looking for a second-hand car, and I had been much taken by a rather nice drop-head with a well-cared-for appearance.

“Well, she runs nicely,” I told my life after the try-out. “Good start-up, engine sounds sweet, low mileage and the right price. What do you think?” “I don’t like it.” “Why not?”

“I don’t know. There’s just something about the salesman that I don’t believe.”

A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.

Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a woman’s intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn’t working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don’t have?

46. When was the “first time” the husband felt “really shaken” by his wife’s intuition?

A. When he realized she knew so much about cars. B. When his wife spoke about the salesman.

C. When he realized she knew so much about cars. D. When they bought another car.

47. What does a person’s intuition refer to according to this passage?

A. The ability to know something by using one’s feelings. B. The ability to make a quick decision.

C. The ability to pick out the best one among a number of things. D. The ability to see through things.

48. Why didn’t the man know that the car was damaged at first?

A. The damage was not serious at all. B. He was not careful enough. C. It had been skillfully repaired.

D. The salesman only tried it out smoothly.

49. What answer does the writer give to a woman’s intuition?

A. It is simply a blind guess. B. It must be the sixth sense.

B. It is a special kind of knowledge. D. It is a special kind of knowledge. 50. From the passage we learn that the salesman was _____.

A. cheating B. honest C. helpful D. kind
