Section III Reading Comprehension
Directions: Read the following passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing
A. B. C. or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1. ( 40 points )
Passage 1
Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport (excluding vehicles, ships and planes) increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8%. Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building.
Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capita personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 14%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport (including private cars) and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation (饱和) point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered. (310 words )

Passage 2
Among all the changes resulting from the massive entry of women into the work force, the transformation that has occurred in the women themselves is not the least important. They see themselves in a new light, for they have discovered that they can just do as well as men in any profession. Some of them have gone to the top: the chief economist of General Motors is a woman, and so is the president of the great filmmaking company 20th Century Fox. Such successes have given women pride and self confidence. Of course, the picture is not perfect. In the first place, a very large number of women do not even try to enter "male" professions because they lack the necessary training or because they are not bold enough to venture on new paths. For one woman executive or one woman judge there are still countless typists and saleswomen who struggle through their day without any sense of victory. Besides, many of their braver sisters, who are daring to compete with men in higher fields, find that male opposition is still strong, and that society is still ready to explain a woman's success by reasons that women are now free to enter any career that attracts them. The situation has improved, and the tide is not likely to turn back.
Women have gained pride, self-confidence, and independence. Have they gained happiness? Each working woman would have to give her personal answer to that question. Many women are too exhausted by their double career (home and office) to enjoy either one. Many feel guilty about leaving their children to the care of strangers, about neglecting all the small things that non-working homemakers do for their family and their house. For women, taking a profession involves sacrifice --- they have to make a difficult choice. Perhaps, the real progress is that the choice exists. In their grandmothers' time, it did not. （319 words ）
41. The word "transformation" in Paragraph 1 probably implies ______.
A. women have overestimated themselves in abilities
B. women can be more successful than men if they try
C. women's attitudes towards their social roles
D. women's idea that they consider themselves the equal to men
42. The word "picture" in the first paragraph means ______.
A. the photos of the contemporary women
B. the present situation for women
C. the story of women
D. the massive entry for women
43. The first paragraph implies that ______.
A. many women are very successful in their professions
B. women are equally as successful as men
C. many women have come to the top leaderships
D. only a small number of women are successful in their professions
44. The sentence "the tide is not likely to turn back" in the
first paragraph means that ______.
A. the massive entry of women into the work force is bound to develop further
B. women will have more chanc

MBA工商管理硕士英语最新模拟题和答案

es to be promoted
C. women have to go back to their house chores
D. men will still play the dominant role in leadership
45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The achievement women have made in their professions.
B. The pride of women in their achievement.
C. Women's professions have changed a lot.
D. The present social status of women and problems they are faced with.
Passage 3
Computers manipulate information, but information is invisible. There's nothing to see or touch. The programmer decides what you see on the screen. Computers don't have knobs like old radios. They don't have buttons, not real buttons. Instead, more and more programs display pictures of buttons, moving even further into abstraction and arbitrariness (抽象和任意). I like computers, but I hope they will disappear, that they will seem as strange to our descendants as the technologies of our grandparents appear to us. Today's computers are indeed getting easier to use, but look where they started: so difficult that almost any improvement was welcome.
Computers have the power to allow people within a company, across a nation or even around the world to work together. But this power will be wasted if tomorrow's computers aren't designed around the needs and capabilities of the human beings who must use them -- a people-centered philosophy, in other words. That means retooling computers to mesh with human strengths -- observing, communicating and innovating -- instead of asking people to conform to the unnatural behavior computers demand. That just leads to error.
Many of today's machines try to do too much. When a complicated word processor attempts to double as a desktop publishing program or a kitchen appliance comes with half a dozen attachments, the product is bound to be burdensome. My favorite example of a technological product on just the right scale is an electronic dictionary. It can be made smaller, lighter and far easier to use than a print version, not only giving meanings but even pronouncing the words. Today's electronic dictionaries, with their tiny keys and barely legible displays, are primitive but they're on the right track.
Now imagine a host of specialized devices replacing a single powerful computer that tries to do a little of everything. Imagine a pocket checkbook, a drawing pod, a file-folder-size spreadsheet (报表). Each would be self-contained but would communicate with the others through infra-red light beams or radio links. The word I just looked up in the dictionary would be inserted into the letter I am writing; the right picture or spreadsheet calculation would become part of a report I'm doing for work.
We would no longer have to learn the arbitrary ways of the computer. We could simply learn the tools of our trade -- sketch pads, spreadsheets, schedules. How wonderful i
t would be to ignore the capricious(反复无常的) nature of technology -- and get on with our work. ( 420 words )
46. The passage talks about ______.

MBA工商管理硕士英语最新模拟题和答案

A. changes computers should be made to conform to people
B. shortcomings of computers
C. demonstration of future computers
D. development of computers
47. The sentence "I hope they will disappear, that they will seem as strange to our descendants as the technologies of our grandparents appear to us." in Paragraph 1 means ______.
A. our descendants may not use computers any more
B. the use of computers should be simplified and our descendants will not use the present computers any more
C. some technologies our grandparents used will not exist in the future
D. computers appear out of date to our generation
48. The word "machines" in Paragraph 3 means ______.
A. word processors B. electronic dictionaries
C. computers D. kitchen appliances
49. From the passage, those about computers are true EXCEPT ______.
A. people have to do what computers requested to get information
B. pictures of buttons in computer programs are not easy to use as knobs on radios
C. today's computers try to do a little of everything, which makes them not easy to use
D. programmers manipulate and show you information in computers
50. According to the author, the future computer should be ______.
A. not too big and not too heavy
B. one device, one chore
C. A and B
D. multi-purpose
Passage 4
It is obvious that the old get sick more frequently and more severely than the young, and 86 percent have chronic (慢性的) health problems of varying degree. These health problems, while significant, are largely treatable and for the most part do not impair the capacity to work. Medicare (医疗保险制度) pays for only 45 percent of older people's health expenses; the balance must come from their own incomes and savings, or from Medicaid, which requires a humiliating means test. A serious illness can mean instant poverty. Drugs prescribed outside of hospitals, hearing aids, glasses, dental care and podiatry (脚病学) are not covered at all under Medicare. There is prejudice against the old by doctors and other medical personnel who don't like to bother with them. Psychiatrists (精神病医师) and mental-health personnel typically assume that the mental problems of the old are untreatable. Psychoanalysts, the elite (精英分子) of the psychiatric profession, rarely accept them as patients. Medical schools and other teaching institutions find them uninteresting. Voluntary hospitals are well known for dumping (倾销，倾倒) the "Medicare patient" into municipal hospitals; municipal hospital in turn funnel (使集中) them into nursing homes, mental hospitals and chronic disease institutions without the adequate diagnostic (诊断) and treatment effort which might enable them to return home. Persons who do remain at home while in ill health have serious difficulties in getting social, medical and psychiatric services b
rought directly to them.
Problems large and small confront the elderly. They are easy targets for crime in the streets and in their homes. Beca

MBA工商管理硕士英语最新模拟题和答案

use of loneliness, confusion, hearing and visual difficulties they are prime victims of dishonest door-to-door salesmen and fraudulent advertising, and buy defective hearing aids, dance lessons, useless "Medicare insurance supplements," and quack (骗人的) health remedies. Persons crippled by arthritis (关节炎) or strokes are yelled at by impatient bus drivers for their slowness in climbing on and off buses. Traffic lights turn red before they can get across the street. Revolving doors move too quickly. Subways usually have no elevators or escalators (电动扶梯).
Old women are worse than old men. Women have an average life expectancy of seven years longer than men and tend to marry men older than themselves; so two thirds (six million) of all older women are widows. When widowed they do not have the same social prerogatives (特权) as older men to date and marry those who are younger. As a result, they are likely to end up alone --- an ironic turn of events when one remembers that most of them were raised from childhood to consider marriage the only acceptable state. The income levels of older working women are generally lower than those of men; many never worked outside the home until their children were grown and then only at unskilled, low-paying jobs. Others who worked all their lives typically received low wages, with lower Social Security and private retirement benefits as a result. Until 1973, housewives who were widowed received only 82.5 percent of their husbands' Social Security benefits even though they were full-time home-makers. (514 words)
51. What's the main idea of this passage?
A. The old are much more vulnerable to serious diseases than the young.
B. Old people are more likely to become victims of crimes and commercial frauds.
C. Women have an average life expectancy of seven years longer than men.

52. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Medicare is far from enough for the aged to keep healthy.
B. Many old people can not receive proper treatment and care when ill.
C. Old people usually suffer loneliness, confusion, hearing and visual difficulties.
D. Old widowed women usually enjoy more social prerogatives than old men.
53. Psychoanalysts rarely accept old people as patients because ________.
A. they have too many patients and are often very busy
B. they don't know how to cure the old people's diseases
C. they believe that old people's mental diseases can not be cured
D. mental problems are not covered under Medicare
54. The word "fraudulent" (Line 3, Para.2) most probably means ________.
A. honest B. deceitful C. attractive D. pleasant
55. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Inequality between men and women is still a cause of wo
men's unhappiness.
B. Women's longer life expectancy is the source of their loneliness at the old age.
C. Old women have as many problems as

D. Before 1973, women received only 82.5 percent of men's Social Security benefits.
Section IV Translation
Directions: In this section there is a passage in English. Translate the five sentences underlined
into Chinese and write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2. ( 15 points)
In such a changing, complex society formerly simple solutions to informational needs become complicated. Many of life's problems which were solved by asking family members, friends or colleagues are beyond the capability of the extended family to resolve. Where to turn for expert information and how to determine which expert advice to accept are questions facing many people today.
In addition to this, there is the growing mobility of people since World II.56. As families move away from their stable community, their friends of many years, their extended family relationships, the informal flow of information is cut off, and with it the confidence that information will be available when needed and will be trustworthy and reliable. The almost unconscious flow of information about the simplest aspects of living can be cut off. Thus, things once learned subconsciously through the casual communications of the extended family must be consciously learned.
Adding to societal changes today is an enormous stockpile of information. 57.The individual now has more information available than any generation, and the task of finding that one piece of information relevant to his or her specific problem is complicated, time-consuming and sometimes even overwhelming.
58.Coupled with the growing quantity of information is the development of technologies which enable the storage and delivery of more information with greater speed to more locations than has ever been possible before. Computer technology makes it possible to store vast amounts of data in machine-readable files, and to program computers to locate specific information. Telecommunications developments enable the sending of messages via television, radio, and very shortly, electronic mail to bombard people with multitudes of messages. Satellites have extended the power of communications to report events at the instant of occurrence. 59.Expertise can be shared world wide through teleconferencing, and problems in dispute can be settled without the participants leaving their homes and/or jobs to travel to a distant conference site. Technology has facilitated the sharing of information and the storage and delivery of information, thus making more information available to more people.
In this world of change and complexity, the need for information is of greatest importance. 60.Those people who have accurate, reliable up-to-date information to solve the day-to-day problems, the critical problems of their business, social and family life, will survive and succeed. "Knowledge is power
" may well be the truest saying and access to information may be the most critical requirement of all people.

When asked about which is more important; university or specialty, different candidates often offer different answers. An overwhelming majority of students would like to give first priority to famous university, while other candidates usually regard specialty as their favorite instead of famous university.

specialty sometimes appears more important than famous university.
