6 Reading Comprehension Part Three Section A Close Reading

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them, there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). Read the passages carefully and decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. American research universities are the fi nest in the world. The breakthroughs in the natural sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities, and fields of technology that are the result of

university research are too many to consider. The impact of university research and university

partnership with business and industry on the American economy is profound. The American research university has contributed enormously to the wealth and productivity of the nation. American cultural landscape (景观), too, has in many ways been defi ned by the discovery and

scholarship that takes place in American research universities. Through the graduate programs

American research universities have been largely responsible for educating successive generations

of the nation’s leaders in government, business, and industry, the educators, scientists, engineers,

artists, and health care professionals.

But the American research university must not be static — it must be dynamic. In response to the demands and opportunities of a changing world, the American research university must evolve. In recent decades various possible models have been proposed for what many have termed ?the new American university.? While each of these models offers insight and ideas, none go far

enough to embrace the changes ahead.

D) a meeting place for the government Section B Fast Reading

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions with no more than 10 words. What you do not say in response to criticism often is as important as what you do say. Destructive responses serve to cut off criticism, and you may miss the point, because initial criticism

is seldom right on target. Here are some responses to avoid:

Do not overgeneralize. If someone says your shoes do not go with your outfi t, react only to that.

Resist saying to yourself, ?That means I have poor taste in everything, and I’m a clod (笨蛋，傻瓜) and an awful person.? When your superior asks you to be on time for morning planning sessions,

this does not mean he or she is about to fi re you. Stay with the specifi c criticism. Do not counterattack. This ?topper? technique fosters nothing but ill feelings. Verble explains,

?If I arrive home late and my husband greets me with ‘You’re late again,’ it does no good for me to

counter, ‘What about you? You’re never on time.’ It’s hard for some of us to resist, but it’s worth the effort.?

Do not offer excuses or retreat into silence. Defensiveness leads no-where, and silence in this

context is far from passive. Both of these responses cut off further discussion.

Do not use dishonest ?agreement.? If you appear to agree with the criticism but honestly do

not, your critic will look for evidence of change. When nothing happens, it will seem to the critic as

though you have been lying.

Behavior experts say we should avoid destructive responses like those above, and we should also

Unit 1 Famous Universities

9 help our critics. Here’s how:

1. Be quiet and listen. Rein in (放慢；控制) your emotions and try to hear what your critic is

actually saying.

2. Ask for more information, if needed. A simple ?Can you be more specifi c?? is a good way to start.

3. Ask for a solution, or for help in fi nding one. ?What specifi cally would you like me to do??

often clears the air.

1. What is the passage mainly about? The passage is mainly about and when we are facing criticism.

2. According to the fi rst paragraph, what is the previous paragraph mainly about? The previous paragraph is mainly about

3. How do you understand ?Do not overgeneralize?? It means

4. What does ?cut off? mean in the sentence ?Both of these responses cut off further discussion??

5. How can we help our critics? Section C Passage Completion

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from the list of choices given in the word bank. Each choice in the bank is identifi ed by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Americans always have different opinions in their 1 toward education. On the one hand, free and universal public education was seen as necessary in a democracy, for how else would citizens

learn how to govern themselves in a responsible way? On the other hand, America was always a country that 2 financial opportunities for which education was not needed on the road from 3 to riches. Schooling — beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic — was an 4 detour.

Even today, it is still possible for people to 5 fi nancial success without much education, but the number of 6 in which this is possible is decreasing. In today’s more complex world, the opportunities for fi nancial success are closely related to the need for education, 7 higher education.

Our society is rapidly becoming one whose 8 product is information, and dealing with this information requires more and more 9 education. In other words, we grow up learning more and more about fewer and fewer subjects.

In the future, this trend is likely to continue. Tomorrow’s world will be even more complex than

today’s world, and, to 10 this complexity, even more specialized education will be needed. 大学体验英语（第三版）一课一练 ?

One major decision which faces the American student ready to

begin higher education is the choice of attending a large university 大学体验英语（第三版）一课一练 ?

12 or a small college. The large university provides a wide range of specialized departments, as well numerous courses within such

departments. The small college, therefore, generally provides a limited number of courses and specializations but offer a better student faculty ratio, thus permit individualized attention to students. Because of its large student body (often exceeding 20,000) consisting in many people from different countries the university exposes its students to many different culture, social and out-of-class programs. On the other hand, the smaller, more homogeneous (同性质的) student body of the big

college affords greater opportunities in such activities. Finally, the university closely approximates the real world and which provides a relaxed, impersonal, and sometimes anonymous existence. On the contrast, the intimate atmosphere of the small college allows the

student four years of structural living in which to expect and preparing for the real world. In making his choice among educational institutions the student must, therefore, consider a great many factors． Section B General Writing

Reading Comprehension Part Three Section A Close Reading

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfi nished statements. For each of them, there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). Read the passages carefully and decide on the best choice. Passage One Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.

A strong résumé and cover letter combination is your only chance to land an interview. The average hiring manager will review over 1 000 résumés to fi ll a single position listed on popular

job sites like Monster or in the classifi ed sections of major newspapers. Faced with this daunting

(使人畏缩的) task, the hiring manager looks for reasons not to interview you and may even use a

computerized résumé tracking system to screen out 90% of the résumés. A RésuméEdge résumé can ...

? Enhance your lifetime earning potential. We have helped clients add $40 000 to their annual income and over $1 million to their lifetime earning potential. Undermarketing yourself

can be the biggest mistake you ever make.

? Dramatically increase your résumé success rate and secure you more interviews than you ever thought possible. We will make your résumé stand out from the six-inch stack of homemade résumés on a busy hiring manager’s desk.

? Shorten your time spent searching for a job. According to the US Dept. of Labor, the average job search time is longer than three months. The time saved searching for a job translates

into tens of thousands of dollars in salary for many of our unemployed clients.

? Eliminate the screen-out factors that relegate (丢弃) many résumés to the trash. Do you have a typo (印刷错误)? Do you use the word ?I?? Do you sound like a boss’s nightmare? You

would be surprised how many screen-out factors the average résumé contains. Unit 2 Jobs and Careers

? Ensure you rank highly in a computerized résumé tracking system like Resumix or Monster. Currently, half of all mid-sized and almost all large companies scan résumés into a

computerized tracking system, which is searched for keywords by hiring managers. ? Put you in control of your interview by steering your interviewer away from potential weaknesses. Interviewers love to focus on résumé liabilities (不利条件, 缺点) like extended time off, frequent job changing, etc. We write your résumé to minimize potential liabilities and

showcase (陈列) your strengths.

1. What question is the fi rst paragraph intended to answer?（B） A) How does the interviewer screen out the résumés? B) Why is a résumé and cover letter important?

C) How many résumés will the hiring manager review in order to fi nd one person appropriate for the position?

Patricia Cook wanted a raise early in her career at a Massachusetts think tank. ?My boss didn’t want to give me a raise, but I pushed the issue,? she recalled.

Cook broke the cardinal rule (基本准则) of dealing with your boss: Don’t start a fi ght you

can’t win. Does this mean you should avoid all conflicts with superiors? Absolutely not. Your

effectiveness in disagreeing with your boss can be critical to your career. Who hasn’t had a battle with his boss at one time or another?

Avoiding disagreements can be helpful in the short term, but not over the years. The employee loses sleep and self-image, and the employer is deprived of information that might help

him do his own job better. Here are the rules to remember when it’s time to lock horns with the boss.

Watch your timing. Before a confrontation, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his

mood. If he ate nails for breakfast, it’s not a good idea to ask him for something. Don’t go in angry. If you are mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. Clarify the issues. Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor his subordinate

knows what is on the other’s mind. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.

Propose solutions. Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t

propose an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem. Put yourself in the boss’s shoes. To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his

goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he

will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals. 6. What is the best title for this passage?(A) A) How to Argue with Your Boss

B) What to Avoid When Arguing with Your Boss C) How to Communicate with Your Boss D) How to Raise Your Salary

7. What is not the rule when you lock horns with your boss?(A) A) Don’t initiate an argument you can’t win. B) Put yourself in the boss’s shoes. C) Propose solutions. D) Clarify the issues.

8. What does the writer imply by saying: ?Your effectiveness in disagreeing with your boss can be

critical to your career.??(B)

A) Your disagreement with your boss can ruin your career.

B) Your disagreement with your boss can be important to your career if you do it effectively. C) Your working efficiency is very important to your career.

D) Whether you can succeed or not depends on how you disagree with your boss. 9. What are the disadvantages of avoiding disagreements?(D) A) The employee loses sleep and self-image.

B) The employer is deprived of information that might help him do his own job better. C) You don’t have chance to show off. D) Both A and B.

10. ?Put yourself in the boss’s shoes.? means .(A) A) consider the boss’s goals and pressures B) try to be the boss’s friend C) show pity to your boss

D) give yourself the chance to get familiar with your boss Unit 2 Jobs and Careers

21 Section B Fast Reading

Directions: In this section, there is a short passage. Read the passage carefully and then decide on the best choice. Nowadays many adults have full-time jobs and the proportion of their lives spent doing such jobs is very high. So feelings about one’s job must refl ect how an individual feels about his or her life as a

whole, and because of this, job satisfaction is indeed very important for the wellbeing of that person.

Employees get job satisfaction in a number of ways. Firstly, a person needs to feel that they

are doing valued and valuable work, so positive feedback from superiors is very important in this

respect. A sense of fulfi llment is also encouraged if a worker feels the job is worth doing because

it contributes to the society or the economy as a whole. Secondly, when someone feels they are

improving or developing their skills through training opportunities, for example, then there is a

sense of progression and purpose that rewards a worker. The sense of belonging to a team or a

working community also contributes to job satisfaction because colleagues help each other to enjoy

their working lives. Satisfaction is also increased by a sense of responsibility for and loyalty to a team.

Of course not everyone enjoys their work. Hard economic realities mean that many people have little choice in the kind of job they can get. In some cases an employee is working in a job that suits

neither their skills nor their personality. Some jobs are repetitive and boring, and labor relations may

be poor and lead to resentment and insecurity rather than to job satisfaction. 1. Why does the job refl ect one’s life satisfaction? A) Because it decides how much one earns.

B) Because one spends a lot of energy and time in his job. C) Because one must have a job to survive.

D) Because one’s live is less important than his job. 2. What kind of job can offer one satisfaction? A) With high salary. B) With high values. C) With high reputation.

D) With high economic rewards.

3. What is the usual way to improve one’s skills?

A) By traveling around. B) By asking questions. C) By doing project. D) By training programs.

4. What makes it diffi cult for people to get a satisfi ed job? A) Bad economy. B) Financial crisis. C) Peaceful life. D) Worldwide war.

5. What can be caused by dissatisfaction of one’s job? A) Short life.

B) Unharmonious relationship. C) Loss of one’s confi dence. D) Hatred and insecurity.

22 Section C Passage Completion

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from the list of choices given in the word bank. Each choice in the bank is identifi ed by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. What sorts of qualities have enabled Margaret Thatcher not only to raise her own nation from weakness and despondency (意气消沉，失望) but also to play a world role? She is, in many respects,

an ordinary person — the strong-minded child of a strong-minded Lincolnshire storekeeper and

his wife who taught their daughters to work hard, fear 1 and make themselves useful to society. She was a prize-winning chemistry student at Oxford University and later became a lawyer

2 in taxation law. Getting into Parliament was another test, which she triumphantly passed in

1959. Then came the goal of a cabinet position, achieved in 1970 with her appointment as education secretary, a post traditionally regarded as the ceiling (最高的能力) for women in government. Three attributes carried her through that ceiling and into the political stratosphere (最上层):

her 3 energy, her simple sense of rectitude and, above all, her courage.

Her capacity for work is perhaps the most striking thing about Margaret Thatcher. She seems able to 4 for prolonged periods on as little as fi ve hours’ sleep a night, and spends virtually

all the time she’s awake engaged in work. When not working, she has a habit of 5 up cupboards — a symptom of her passion for order.

Margaret Thatcher’s second great asset is a 6 sense of the difference between right and wrong. She derives these traits from her Christianity and from her father. An active local 7 ,

he taught her to bring to public 8 the same principles of probity and truthfulness that a good

International careers tend to follow world economics cycles. When the world economy contracts, so do jobs, and when worldwide economy expands international jobs tend to increase. 1999 was a very good year for the World economy, and many companies were

expanding its world presence with the use of expatriate international job assignments. By the end of 2000 a slowing world economy put the brakes on growth at many global companies. By 2001 an economic

contraction is occurring, followed by the Terrorist attack on 9/11. These events had a big impact on both inner and international employment opportunities.

There are a number different paths to international jobs. For

example, the English language uses worldwide, so there is always need for high proficient English teachers in foreign countries, especially those who are fl uent in the teaching country’s language. Technology companies, whether electronics, oil and gas, or

utilities with a global presence, send their engineers forward to foreign countries to either set up the initial facilities and to oversee and manage the manufacturing plants. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

25 Section B General Writing

Directions: Write a composition with no less than 120 words. Your composition is entitled My Ideal Job, including the following parts: 1. What is your ideal job? 2. Why is it your ideal job?

3. What do you plan to do in order to get it?

Please refer to the following paragraphs which are from Refl ections of a Young Man on the Choice of a Profession written by Karl Marks when he studied in high school.

? The chief guide which must direct us in the choice of a profession is the welfare of mankind and

our own perfection. It should not be thought that these two interests could be in confl ict, which

one would have to destroy the other; on the contrary, man nature is so constituted that he can

attain his own perfection only by working for the perfection, for the good, of his fellow men.

? If he works only for himself, he may perhaps become a famous man of learning, a great sage, an

excellent poet, but he can never be a perfect, truly great man.

? If we have chosen the position in life in which we can most of all work for mankind, no burdens can bow us down, because they are sacrifi ces for the benefi t of all; then we shall experience no

petty, limited, selfi sh joy, but our happiness will belong to millions, our deeds will live on quietly

but perpetually at work, and over our ashes will be shed the hot tears of noble people. My Ideal Job

There was one shop in the town of Mufulia which was notorious for its ?color bar.? It was a drugstore. While Europeans were served at the counter, a long line of Africans queued at the

window and often not only were kept waiting but, when their turn to be served, were rudely treated by the shop assistants. One day I was determined to make a public protest against this

kind of thing, and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store and waited outside

to see what would happen when I went in.

I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he

saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand he shouted at me in a bastard (怪声怪气的) language which is only used by an employer when speaking to his servants. I stood at the counter and politely requested in English that I should be served. The

manager became exasperated and said to me in English, ?If you stand there till Christmas
