Part II Reading Comprehension Direction:

There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1

“You must be mad” was the general comment of family, friends and colleagues. “Giving up a teaching post now, when there isn’t much chance of finding another one, ever!”

“And what about all that lovely money you’re earning, and all those long holidays!”

But I had already come to my lonely decision, after months of

concealed suffering. The devil of unemployment should be enough to make those of us fortunate enough to have a job pulling up the

drawbridge (吊桥) behind us, and yet here was I, prepared to join the noisy army on the opposite bank.

But I knew I could no longer continue in the teaching profession. To wake up in the morning with a fear of the day ahead, to force a hasty breakfast down an unwilling throat and then set off for work with pounding heart and frozen face had become habitual, and I had turned to tranquilizers (镇定剂) to help me along.

It had not always been as bad as this. Ten years before I had managed well

enough, and the holidays used to come round just in time.

But I, in common with most other teachers, am enormously self-critical, and I knew now that I was no longer “managing”. My classes were noisy, the children were not learning very much, and my’ attempts to cope with changing teaching methods produced very little effect. At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence. Now they give a vague “Hello, Miss”, and carry on. I had run out of enjoyment and enthusiasm. It was time to stop.

But was it all my own failure? In fairness to myself, I don’t think it was. I had plenty of ideas, I loved my subject, and, by and large, I liked children.

I had been idealistic. But the reality I faced was bored

children, over-stimulated by video-watching the night before and tired out by a late bedtime. They were children who were given the wrong food at the wrong time, who came breakfast-less to school and then stuffed themselves with gum, chocolates and sweets bought on the way; who were “high” with hunger in the lesson before lunchtime and giggled (咯咯地笑) restlessly as the cooking smell from the school kitchen came drifting to all floors.

I have been trying to create the basic conditions in which teaching becomes

possible, but I have failed, and no longer have the stomach for the job. And that is why I’m giving up.

31. What does “the noisy army” (Para. 3) refer to?

A) a military force B) a labour union C) the unemployed D) demonstrators

32. The writer decided to quit her job chiefly because ____________. A) the teaching profession is too much for her

B) she was too hard on herself and therefore unhappy with her teaching effect C) the class had become impossible to teach D) she didn’t like new teaching methods

33. Which of the following statement is closest in meaning to “At one time my very presence in the doorway would be enough to ensure a partial silence.” (Para6)? A) Formerly, my arrival at the classroom would very well make at least some of

the students stop talking or playing.

B) For a while, when I appeared in the doorway, the class would quite down. C) Every time I made my appearance in the doorway, the students would become

silent.

D) Once in the past, I could silence half of the class simply by standing in the

doorway!

34. All of the following are reasons that children couldn’t concentrate in class EXCEPT ________.

A) they were tired because they went to bed too late B) they were fed up with their lessons and school work C) they were not properly fed by their parents

D) they were overexcited by too much video-watching the night before 35. Which of the following about the writer is true?

A) Being too young, the writer found it difficult to grow affectionate for children. B) As she set off for work, she felt nervous at the prospect of teaching. C) It was very difficult for her to give up teaching.

D) Although she was responsible, she never truly enjoyed teaching. Passage 2

Today’s kids absorb lots of messages, values and attitudes from the media and from friends. Advertisements whet their appetite for many things they don’t need. What they do need is an understanding of the value of the dollar.

How do kids learn to be economically savvy (机智的) ? Most

schools do not teach the financial facts of life; it’s up to parents to help kids grow into responsible and skillful money earners, savers and spenders.

To learn about money, kids first need to have some. Early on, parents often

hand out money on an as-needed basis. But experts say paying a regular allowance is the best way to teach children the meaning of money, how to use it and how to plan. Some call it “learning capital”.

A child is ready for an allowance around age five or six, when he becomes

aware of the relationship between money and shopping, can differentiate coins, can add and subtract, has spending opportunities and asks parents to buy him things. How much allowance? Some experts recommend giving a dollar for each year of age, but Sharon Danes, a professor at the University of Minnesota disagrees: “I think $ 5 a week is too much for a five-year-old, and $15 is probably not enough for a 15-year-old.” What’s right for the child depends on three factors: the child’s level of development, what the parents can afford, and what the parents expect him to pay for.

Whatever the amount, kids will soon feel they need more. But Sharon Danes insists that children don’t need an automatic raise each year. “There’s no lesson to be learned when children expect an increase just because they’re a year older,” she says. “The reason for getting a greater part of the family-income pie is so they can learn more about balancing demands and resources.”

36. In Para. 1, “whet their appetite” most probably means ____________. A) make them wish for more B) spoil their appetite

C) sharpen their sensation D) stimulate their consuming power 37. What is the best way for children to learn to be economically savvy? A) Parents don’t give them money until they really need it. B) Children are taught the financial facts of life at school. C) Parents regularly give them a certain amount of money. D) Parents help children become skillful money earners.

38. At the age of five or six, children are capable of all the following EXCEPT _____. A) identifying the face value of money B) solving simple arithmetic problems

C) knowing that with money they can get things from stores D) going shopping themselves

39. What is Professor Sharon Danes’ attitude toward the proposal of giving children a dollar for each year of age?

A) She believes this will surely encourage children to ask for more.

B) She doubts whether there is such thing as “right amount” for parents to give to

their children.

C) She thinks it is unnecessary to increase the amount each year.

D) She insists that children can only get money when they study well.

40. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the last sentence of the passage? A) The purpose of giving children money is to let them know more about how to

use money and how to plan.

B) If they want to get more from the family income, they must have enough

knowledge of family economy.

C) Children can get more money on the condition that they are able to balance

demands and resources.

D) To give children more money is to make them understand the importance of

balancing demands and resources.

Passage 3

A number of recent books have reworked subjects, forms and writing

techniques. Today's children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution, political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator, all kinds of books are being published.

Before they know to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical

（立方形）or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like

work-books which come with watercolors and paintbrushes, and comic books（漫画册）filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others.

Not that the traditional children's books are being neglected. There are still storybooks where the pages pop up（跳起）when they are opened, to make a forest or a castle. Among the latest ideas are

interactive stories where readers choose the plot（情节）or ending they

want, and books on CD, which are very popular in rich industrialized countries. The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. \Canadian author Marie-France Hebért. Her books, published by a French-language publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. \appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to children the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin.\41.\A) reworded B) rewritten C) processed D) revised

42.In the second paragraph the author lists the kinds of books ___________________. A) recently published B) of various shapes C) babies like

D) popular among children

43.Which of the following statements is true?

A) Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books.

B) When you buy work-books you will be given free comic books. C) Traditional children's books are not being removed from market. D) Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.

44. The expression \\A) pass on to children B) make children believe C) teach children

D) get around to children

45.The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have ___________________. A) warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth shown by publishers

B) warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity shown by publishers C) showed great enthusiasm in publishers of treat wealth D) reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers Passage 4

Every body gets sick. Disease and injury make us suffer throughout our lives until, finally, some attack on the body brings our existence to an end. Fortunately, most of us in modern industrialized societies can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly

appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame（荣誉）.

Because ill health is universal problem, affecting both the individual and society, the human response to sickness is always

socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values, groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution（体系；机构）.To the sociologist（社会学家）, then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and treatment of disease. In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing with sickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer（治疗者）.The latter is typically also the priest（牧师）, who relies

primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive and costly institutions of modern society.

46.Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1? A) Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health. B) Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering. C) Most of us are aware of the full value of health.

D) Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else. 47.The word \

A) make way for B) give power to C) write an order for D) make it possible for

48.In Paragraph 2, we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as ___________________.

A) a system whose purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthy B) a universal problem that affects every society C) a social responsibility to treat ill health

D) a science that focuses on the treatment of disease

49.According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT true? A) In the past, bones might be used to decide why people fell ill.

B) In pre-industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing.

C) Modern medicine is so complicated that sociology no longer has a place in it. D) There were only two roles in an elementary medical system, the patient and the one who tried to cure him.

50.The author of this passage is mainly concerned with ___________________. A) sociological aspects in medicine B) medical treatment of diseases

C) the development of medical science D) the role of religion in medicine

Part II Reading Comprehension Direction:

There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET. Passage1.

Most young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind—foot-ball, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering(登山).

Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.

Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.

If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between “teams” of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.

The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and are powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.

A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier if probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time that younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

31. Mountaineering involves everything EXCEPT ______________.

A) cold B) hardship C) risk D) astonishment 32. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with the kind of __________.

A) activity B) rules C) uniform D) participants 33. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because _________. A) it is an Olympic event

B) teams compete against each other

C) mountaineers depend on each other while climbing D) there are 5 climbers on each team

34. Mountaineers compete against __________.

A) nature B) each other C) other teams D) international

standards

35. The best title for the passage is ___________.

A) Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football B) Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports C) Mountaineering D) Mountain Climbers

Passage 2

Within fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything that goes into the dumps could be made into

something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.

The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and

discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.

Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.

The fist full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big citied will be forced to build their own recycling plats before long. 36.The main purpose of the passage is __________ .

A) to show us a future way of recycling wastes B) to tell the importance of recycling wastes C) to warn people the danger of some wastes D) to introduce a new recycling plant

37.How many stages are there in the recycling process? A) 3. B) 4. C) 5. D) 6.

38.What is the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants? A) To deal with wastes in a better way. B) It’s a good way to gain profits.

C) It’s more economical than to dump wastes in some distant places. D) Energy can be got at a lower price.

39.The first full-scale huge recycling plants _________ . A) have been in existence for 15 years B) takes 15 years to build

C) can’t be built until 15 years later D) will remain functioning for 15 years 40. Which of the following statements is true?

A) The word “rubbish” will soon disappear from dictionaries. B) Dangerous wastes can be recycled into nothing but energy.

C) To recycle paper and rubber will still be impossible even with the new

recycling methods.

D) Big cities will soon have their own recycling plants.

Passage 3.

Most of us trade money for entertainment. Movies, concerts and shows are enjoyable but expensive. If you think that you can’t have a good time without spending a lot of money, read on. A little

resourcefulness(足智多谋) and a few minutes of newspaper-scanning should give you some pleasant surprises.

People may be the most interesting show in a large city. Stroll through busy streets and see what everybody else is doing. You will probably see people from all over the world; you will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape, and you’ll get a free fashion show, too. Window-shopping is also a safe sport if the stores are closed.

Check the listings in your neighborhood paper. Local colleges or schools often welcome the public to hear an interesting speaking or a good debate. The film or concert series at the local public library probably won’t cost you a penny. Be sure to check commercial advertisements too. A flea market can provide hours of pleasant browsing(浏览). Perhaps you can find a free cooking or crafts demonstration in a department store.

Plan ahead for some activities. It is always more pleasant not to have people in front of you in a museum or at a zoo. You may save some money, too, since these places often set aside one or two free admission days at slow times during the week. Pretend that you are a tourist from time to time, and get to know your city all over again including the indispensable sights that people travel miles to see. If you feel like taking an interesting walk, find a free walking tour, or plan one yourself. You will see your city in a new perspective once you know more about its history or its

architectural treasures. With imagination and a spirit of adventure you can quite easily find good entertainment at no cost at all.

41.All of the following statements are true EXCEPT ____________.

A) most of trade money for entertainment

B) local colleges often hold meetings to debate the issues people are interested

in

C) even you have no money, you can have a god time

D) you should be a tourist if you want to know more about the city you live in

42.“You will certainly see people of every age, size, and shape.” “Shape” here refers to people being ___________. A) old and young B) fat and thin

C) tall and short D) beautiful and ugly

43. If you are wandering through the busy streets, which will most attract you? A) Various buildings B) Car driving C) Window-shopping D) Free walking

44. The phrase “slow times” (Line 3, Para.4) means __________. A) business is good B) business is bad

C) strolling is slow D) people are slow in learning 45. The best title fro this passage is ____________. A) Amusement at No Cost B) Movies, Concerts and Shows C) The Cheapest Window-shopping D) The Most Enjoyable Street Musicians Passage 4

Crocodiles only live where it is hot. They are found in India, Australia, Africa and America. Crocodile is an egg-producing animal. They spend most of their time lying around in the mud or the rivers. The female crocodiles bury their eggs under the mud. The crocodile’s long powerful tail is used when the animal is swimming. It is also an excellent weapon, because it can be swung with great speed and force. One blow will knock down a man or even a big animal at once. The crocodile is very well protected against its enemies by the hard bony plate which cover most of its body, but because of the way its neck is formed, it cannot turn its head from side to side and so it can only see in front of itself. The crocodile has its teeth cleaned by the crocodile bird. For its food this bird takes the bits lest in the crocodile’s mouth. This helps the crocodile, which cannot clean its own teeth for it cannot move its tongue up and down. With its rows terrible pointed teeth it seizes its food, which may be a fish, an animal or even a careless man, and then holds it below the water until it drowns.

The long-nosed crocodile is shy and timid and because of this, the people of West Africa, where it lives, sometimes catch it for food. Many, many centuries ago there were crocodiles in England. We know this because we have found their bones buried far down in the earth on which London is built. But the Britain of today is too cold for them to live in. this is a good thing for English people for crocodiles may grow to over thirty feet in length. When the lie floating in the water, they look like floating tree-trunks and it is often impossible to tell that they are there. 46.The female crocodile ____________.

A) buries her eggs B) sits on her eggs C) carries her eggs D) looks after her eggs 47.The crocodile can only look ___________.

A) left B) right C) backwards D) forwards

48.The crocodile kills its food _____________.

A) over the water B) beside the water C) under the water D) on the water

49. The West Africans catch the crocodile because it is __________. A) wild B) stupid C) gentle 50. Crocodiles are not in England now because __________. A) they have all been killed B) they are too dangerous

For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work

There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage 1

Suppose we built a robot (机器人) to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to cease its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.

According to the evolutionary (进化的) theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny (否认) that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.

The evolutionary theory accounts well for differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely

to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.

31. The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ______. A) the differences between robots and men B) the reason why men need to sleep

C) about the need for robots to save power D) about the danger of men working at night

32. Evolution has programmed man to sleep at night chiefly to help him ______. A) maintain a regular pattern of life

B) prevent trouble that comes looking for him C) avoid danger and inefficient labor D) restore his bodily functions

33. According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we _____. A) are worrying about our safety B) are overworked C) are in a tent

D) are away from home

34. Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats _____. A) need more time for restoration B) are unlikely to be attackers

C) are more active than horses when they are awake D) spend less time eating to get enough energy

35. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage? ______.

A) Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking.

B) The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory.

C) Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots. D) The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats. Passage 2

The physicians in a hospital form the core of the medical staff. But they could not provide effective medical care to their patients without the help of numerous other medical employees. From the viewpoint of the patients, the nursing staff is

particularly important. Nurses are usually in close contact with patients as long as they are in the hospital.

A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor, however, each must be equally dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.

Under the supervision of the head nurse, the nursing staff must provide nursing services on a 24-hour basis and attend to patients’ needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty,

usually eight in length. The nurses on the ward rotate their shifts. Some take turns working night duty; others work odd shifts. All of them work out of a central area on the ward called the nurses’ station.

A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all time. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital.

Serving as a nurse can be a very rewarding job. But it is not an easy one. Not every person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a profession.

36. The nursing staff_______

A) are central to the medical staff.

B) Play an important role in caring for patients. C) Can work effectively without physicians. D) Are always in close contact with the patients. 37. Why don’t nurses study for as many years as doctors?

A) most nurses work long days.

B) They don’t treat patients for illness and injury.

C) Caring for sick patients requires patience and concern. D) They are not dedicated. 38. Why must nurses work in shifts?

A) they are careless.

B) Nursing services must be provided continuously. C) They work at night form time to time. D) A shift is usually eight hours long.

39. What kind of person is suited to become a nurse?

A) a very careful person B) an able person

C) a very dedicated person D) a specially trained person

The American common school differed from the European school in that it was from the outset an expression of the desire on the part of the American colonies to develop a type of intellectual freedom not prevalent in Europe. There was a further characteristic of the American common school which distinguished it from its European predecessors. The school was, from the beginning, controlled by local authority. Communities were indeed compelled by early legislation in the colonies to

maintain an educational institution of some kind for the young people, but the details of organization were left to the communities.

We find that there was the greatest variety in the method of controlling these schools. In New England the town meeting

determined the policy of the school. It set the salary of the teacher, and very frequently went so far as to select the teacher, although it commonly delegated supervision of the school to a trustee or to a committee. This committee often included the pastor(牧师) of the church and one or more of the leading citizens.

41. One of the major differences between American and European schools was _____ A) that American schools were colonial and therefore were under European

control.

B) that American schools desired to be expressive

C) that American schools emphasized the need of intellectual freedom

D) that American schools were for common citizens while European schools

were for nobles

42. The word “prevalent” (Para. 1, Line 3) in this passage means _____ A) current B) famous C) notorious D) acceptable 43. Another distinctive quality of American schools was that _____

A) the local government was free to organize its own educational system B) the local government was compelled to follow the central authority C) each community was free to decide whether to provide education or not D) the school was controlled by the federal government 44. Which of the following statements is not true?

A) Each community differed in the method of controlling the schools. B) The salary of the teacher was determined by the local authority.

C) The supervising committee of the school was often composed of church people and some important figures of the town.

D) All communities carried the same principle in organizing these schools. 45. What is the passage mainly about?

A) The intellectual development of American schools. B) The independence of American schools from Europe. C) The central control of American schools.

D) The role of local authority in American schools. Passage 4

Stress may be defined as the response of the body to any demand. Whenever people experience something pleasant or unpleasant, we say they are under stress. We call the pleasant kind “eustress”, the unpleasant kind “distress”.

People sometimes compare our lives with that of the cave man, who didn’t have to worry about the stock market or the atomic bomb. They forget that the cave man worried about being eaten by a bear or about dying of hunger-----things that few people worry about today. It’s not that people suffer more stress today; it’s just that they think they do.

It is inconceivable that anyone should have no stress at all. Most people who are ambitious and want to accomplish something live on stress. They need it. But excessive stress is by all means harmful. Worse, chronic exposure to stress over a long time may cause more serious diseases and may actually shorten your life.

The most frequent causes of distress in man are psychological----lack of

adaptability, not having a code of behavior. So the secret of coping with stress is not to avoid it, but to do what you like to do and what you were made to do, at your own fate. For most people, it is really a matter of learning how to behave in various situations. The most important thing is to have a code of life, to know how to live. 46.The modern man is suffering _______

A) more stress than the cave man B) less stress than the cave man

C) different stress from the cave man D) same stress as the cave man

47.Which of the following is an example of “eustress”?

E) Being lacking in adaptability and code of life. F) The Olympic Winner at the moment of his glory. G) Making a turtle run as fast as a rabbit. H) A matter of learning how to avoid stress. 48. In the author’s opinion, stress is _____

I) always harmful to you J) a disease in your life

K) an example of human experience L) a normal state of everyone

49.According to the passage, which of the following may be the cause of distress at present?

M) The economic and energy problems. N) Being unsuitable for the situations.

O) Unpleasant medical service and diseases. P) Being short of provisions and adaptability. 50.The main idea of the passage is that you should____

Q) overcome the serious diseases

R) cope with stress wit the public sense S) learn how to live in the best way for you T) have the response of the body to any demand

There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET. Passage 1

Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child—or even an animal, such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted.

We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from other.

Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing

someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you

were asked to describe what a “nice face” looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.

But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Fordin Allport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words charactering differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types—people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villains or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

31. By using the simile (直喻) of fingerprints, the author tells us that _____.

A) people differ from each other in facial features

B) people have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints C) people have different personalities D) people can learn to recognize faces

32. According to this passage, some animals have the gift of _____. A) typing each other

B) telling people apart by how they behave C) recognizing human faces

D) telling good people from bad people

33. Who most probably knows best hw to describe people’s personality?

A) Psychologists. B) The modern TV audience. C) The ancient Greek audience D) The movie star.

34. According to the passage, it is possible for us to tell one type of person form another because _____.

A) human faces have complex features

B) people differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics C) human fingerprints provide unique information D) people’s behavior can be easily described in words 35. Which of the following is the major point of the passage? A) How to get to know people.

B) Why it is necessary to identify people’s personality. C) Hoe best to recognize people.

D) Why it is possible to describe people.

Passage 2

Everyone talks about the “five” senses of man. And it’s true that we get our

information about the outside world from our sense of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Researchers tell us that the sense of sight—our visual sense—gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies; while the other senses, the auditory (hearing), the olfactory (smell), the tactile (touch), and the gustatory (taste) bring into our brains information about the other twenty percent of what is happening. But there are two other senses that we cannot get along without, though they are very seldom given any credit for helping us to survive in this difficult world. These are the sense of balance, and the kinesthetic sense.

The sense of balance, without which we could act like a drunkard after a heavy bout with the bottle, is located in the inner ear. The inner ear contains three curved tubes (the semi-circular canals) filled with liquids. The shifting of these liquids activates nerve endings in the linings of the canals, and nerve impulses from these nerve endings help our brains to keep us upright.

The kinesthetic sense is actually made up of nerve impulses that arise from nerves planted in close contact with our muscles. These nerve messages are constantly telling us what position our limbs，trunk and head are in. They serve as a continuous “feedback” system to help us know how to move our various parts, and when to hold them still. Otherwise, we would lack the coordination to run, jump, dance, twist, or even sit still. Incidentally, the word “kinesthetic” comes from two Greek words meaning “motion” and “feeling”. The kinesthetic sense gives us our ideas about our own motion.

36. The best title for this passage is _____.

A) Our Five Major Senses. B) The Overlooked Senses. C) The most Important Senses D) The Sense of Balance. 37. What is the main idea of the passage?

A) We get most of our information about the outside world form our senses of sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste.

B) The sense of sight gives us up to 80% of what we know about the world outside our bodies.

C) The sense of balance keeps us upright.

D) Two important senses which are often over-looked are the kinesthetic sense and the sense of the balance.

38. The kinesthetic sense is located in the ______.

A) nerves B) brain C) skin D) inner ear 39.Nerve impulses originating in the inner ear______. A) keep us vertical B) regulate our hearing

C) gives us our ideas about our motion

D) tell us what is happening in the outside world.

40. People who cannot see are able to get along in the world, but it would be probably most difficult to get along if we lost the use of the ______. A) Sense of smell. B) Sense of touch. C) Sense of taste D) Kinesthetic sense. Passage 3

40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started as Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.

Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi German, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.

In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, thing have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome. In the same place was the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.

The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize, and take part in the

games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more year are still needed to convince those fortune enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.

41. The first games for the disabled were held _____ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.

A) 40 years B) 21 years C) 10 years D) 9 years

42. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in _____.

A) New York B) London C) Rome D) Los Angeles 43. In Paragraph 3, the word athletes’ means____ A) People who support the games B) People who watch the games C) People who organize the games D) People who compete in the games

44. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
