Questions 1 to 20 are based on the following passage.

When I tell people I am from New York City, they often ask me, \may be a(n) 1.

exception. Unfortunately, I know several people who have been robbed of their wallet by someone with a pistol or knife, and some of them more than once. I don't think that this is because New York City is a more dangerous place than other cities. In fact, there are other cities

with higher crime 2. rates. More accurately, New York City is presently the 5th most likely major U.S. city in which to 3.

Instead ofthe risk of getting robbed on the way athome, I would be 11. accident.

Part 5 Skimming and Scanning (True/False)

(每小题：2 分)

Directions: Read the following passage. Then decide whether the following statements are True or False.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time limitation: 4 minutes and 27 seconds

When we think of cultural differences, we tend to look for major ways in which cultures differ. However, it is also in the smaller unnoticed matters that problems can develop. What I have in mind here is hospitality (好客) and generosity (慷慨).

There was an occasion when I wanted to get something made as a present for my daughter and asked a very good Chinese friend for help. She had it made for me, but then, out of her own generosity, refused to let me pay her back for it. I am sure the sum involved was not great, and truly, I do appreciate (感激) her generosity. However, at the time, it felt as if the present for my daughter was no longer my present, which I found both impossible to explain and also quite hard to accept.

Then there are the friends and people I work with who are nearly impossible to take out to a meal. To them, I am a guest in China and it is their duty as the host to pay for the meal.

I do not wish to sound critical of Chinese traditions of hospitality and generosity -- far from it. Indeed, I worry that our Western traditions, which seem rather vague (模糊) in comparison, may give visitors to our country the impression that we are sorely lacking in such

matters. But for someone from a cultural background where you each pay your own round, it is nice not to be a guest the whole time. 1.

It is possible that the foreign guest to China is unappreciative and misunderstands the Chinese host's generosity. T F 2.

The Chinese friend's form of generosity in terms of gift-giving makes the author feel at ease. T F 3.

It is next to impossible for him to take his friends and people from work out for dinner because they stick to their own way of treating guests. T F 4.

The author would like his Chinese friends to let him display the generosity of his culture. T F 5.

The author's attitude towards Chinese hospitality and generosity is disapproving. T F

Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)

(每小题：2 分)

Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the same passage or dialog. On a practical level, teachers need a wide variety of skills and abilities. They have to be ready to spend many hours at home planning their lessons and preparing homework. They have to be well organized in class, patient with students, able to appear bright and interested even if they are in fact tired or unhappy, and lively enough to control a group of young people for almost 200 days a year. Outside the classroom, they may have to prepare teaching materials, to choose books to use as texts, to help organize the work of other teachers, or to organize spare time activities for students.

If you think that you have all the necessary qualities, you may feel that you would like to be a teacher. One way to decide, if you live in the United States, is by joining a club for future teachers, such as Student Action for Education. Clubs like this give advice about your field, and also allow you to watch teachers at work, attend meetings, and experiment with teaching methods and equipment. You could also talk with the job advisor at your school or university. Finally, you could try teaching a younger student or becoming an advisor at a summer camp for children. Any activity in which you are dealing with children will help you decide whether you have a calling for teaching. 1.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Danny hung his Boston University diploma below his cab license. After 17 years of education in the finest schools in America, he couldn't do very simple repairs or even locate the carburetor (化油器) in his car.

Danny is an educated man. He is a master of writing papers, taking tests, talking, and filling out forms. He can analyze Freud from a Marxian viewpoint and he can analyze Marx from a Freudian viewpoint.

In short, Danny is an unskilled worker, and he has a sociology

degree to prove it. He is of very little use to American industry. This is nothing new. Colleges have been turning out unskilled workers for decades. Until five years ago, most of these unskilled workers took their degrees in sociology, philosophy, political science, or history and marched right into the American middle class. Some found work in business and government, but many, if not most, went into education, which is the only thing they knew anything about. Once there, they taught another generation the skills necessary to take tests and write papers.

But the cycle broke down. Teachers are too common these days, college applications are down, plumbers are making $12 an hour, and liberal-arts graduates are faced with a choice: a graduate school or the taxicab.

Danny chose the taxicab because driving was about the only marketable skill he possessed. Danny refers to his job as \World 101\acquired some practical skills: he can get his tickets fixed; he knows how to cheat the company out of a few extra dollars a week; and he found his carburetor and he can fix it. 6.

B. Psychology.

C. Sociology.

D. Philosophy. 7.

The reason why Danny chose to be a taxicab driver after he graduated from college is that ________. A. he wanted to get more experience in society

B. he didn't know how to repair a taxicab, so he wanted to learn the skill

C. taxi drivers can earn more money than middle class workers

D. he had no other skills but driving to support himself 8.

Which of the following statements is true? What did Danny study at college? A. Politics.

A. Most college graduates went on to graduate schools in the past.

B. Skilled workers make more money than college graduates.

C. Several years ago a college degree ensured a place in the American middle class.

D. A college education is useless in America nowadays. 9.

What does the word \A. Label attached to something, giving details of its price, size, etc.

B. A list of the candidates.

C. Official notice of an offense against traffic regulations.

D. A piece of paper that gives the holder a certain of right.

10. What does the passage imply?

A. College education is out of date nowadays in America.

B. It's hard for new graduates from college who majored in arts to find a well-paid job in the U. S. A.

C. The American education system isn't practical at all.

D. One learns more from society than from college education.
