III. Reading Comprehension Section A

Direction: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Health implies 50 physical fitness. It also implies mental and emotional well-being. An angry, frustrated, emotionally 51 person in good physical condition is not 52 healthy. Mental health, therefore, has much to do23 how a person copes 53 the world as she exists. Many of the factors that influence physical health also affect mental and emotional well-being. Having a good self-image means that people have positive 54 pictures and good, positive feelings about themselves, about what they are capable of doing, and about the 55 they play. People with good self-images like themselves, and they are 56 like others. Having a good self-image is based on a realistic 57 of one’s own worth and value and capabilities.

Stress is an unavoidable, necessary, and 58 healthful 30 of our society. People of all ages 59 stress. Children begin to experience stress during prenatal development and during childbirth. Examples of stress-inducing 60 in the life of a young person are death of a pet, pressure to 61 academically, the divorce of parents, or joining a new youth group. The different ways by which individuals respond to stress may bring healthful or unhealthy results. One person experiencing a great deal of stress may function exceptionally well 36 62 another may be unable to function at all. If stressful situations are continually encountered, the individual’s physical, social, and mental health is eventually affected.

Satisfying social relations are vital to 63 mental and emotional health. It is believed that in order to 64 , develop, and maintain effective and fulfilling social relationships people must possess the ability to know and trust each other, understand each other, influence, and help each other. They must also be capable of resolving conflicts in a constructive way. 50. [A] rather than [B] other than [C] more than [D] less than 51. [A] unstable [B] unsure [C] changeable [D] unreliable 52.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Women are, on the whole, more verbal than men. They are good at language and verbal

reasoning, while men tend to be skilled at tasks demanding visual--spatial(视空的)abilities. In fact, along with aggression, these are the most commonly accepted differences between the sexes. Words are tools for communicating with other people, especially information about people. They are mainly social tools. Visual and spatial abilities are good for imagining and manipulating objects and for communicating information about them. Are these talents programmed into the brain？In some of the newest and most controversial research in neurophysiology(神经心理学)，it has been suggested that when it comes to the brain, males are specialists while women are generalists.

But no one knows what, if anything, this means in terms of the abilities of the two sexes. Engineering is both visual and spatial, and it′s true that there are relatively few women engineers. But women become just as skilled as men at shooting a rifle or driving a car, tasks that involve visual--spatial skills. They also do equally well at programming a computer, which is neither visual nor spatial. Women do, however, seem less likely to fall in love with the objects themselves. We all know men for whom machines seem to be extensions of their identity. A woman is more likely to see her car, rifle, or computer as a useful tool, but not in itself fascinating.

65. According to the passage, women are usually good at_____. A. body language B. logical reasoning C. tasks demanding for the use of words D. both A and B

66. The word “accepted” in the last sentence of the first paragraph roughly means“____”. A. believed B. adopted C. received D. considered

67. In the author’s opinion, visual and spatial abilities are good for ______. A. achieving one’s objects B. mind and body

C. programming talents into the brain D .imagination and communication 68. Which of the following tasks does NOT involve visual-spatial skills? A. Imagining and handling objects

B. Providing a computer with a set of instrutions C. Shooting a gun and driving an automobile

D. Planning making things as an engineer does

\Whoever it was that coined this proverb must surely have felt keenly about our two most besetting daily problems : getting to sleep at night, and waking up in the morning. People who fall asleep the moment their heads touch the pillow and wake up early enough to take a long walk before breakfast are indeed fortunate. At night, they do not toss and turn, or count backwards in a desperate effort to go to sleep. In the morning, they do not resort to that most inhuman of all inventions, the alarm clock, to wakeup. Most of us are forever thinking up new ways to cheat time. The sweetest mi-nutes of each day are those that immediately follow the angry sound of the alarm.

Even if we possess the more expensive kind of clock that, with soft chimes(和谐的钟声 ) , gently hints that morning has arrived and offers us a tempting cup of hottea, the result is the same. The chiming is followed by a sudden, guilty realization that we have overslept and there is yet another mad ming ntsh to get to work.

Beds are the best evidence of the importance man attaches to sleep. What deep sleeper can have gazed without envy at the monumental, spacious, four post-er beds of the past? It is easy to imagine one climbing into a bed like this, drawing the curtains, and enjoying hours and hours of uninterrupted sleep. It is only in our days that beds have been debased. The first victim in our effort to save space has been, of course, the bed. Everything is done to make it less spacious. It folds up and disappears into the wall or performs astonishing acrobatic (杂技的 ,特技的 )tricks and turns itself into a couch or an armchair. Even the bedroom as such has disappeared and has been replaced by a thing called a \in which you can neither comfortably sleep nor sit. What with further refinements like rub-ber mattresses and electric blankets! It is no wonder that many of us suffer frominsomnia (失眠) and seek salvation (拯救) in alarm clocks. Psychologists, meanwhile, are busy studying our sleep habits, and tell us that we cannot truly rest unless we dream. But most of us know from bitter experience that the only dreams we have are those that come in those few minutes of blissful sleep that follow each rude awakening. Only our ancestors knew the true value of sleep. We have simply to remember that Shakespeare not only gave the subject a lot of his at-tention, but rated beds so highly as to make out a will leaving his wife his \bed \

72. What kind of desire is shown in the proverb at the very beginning of the passage?

A. The desire to sleep without any move and get up softly. B. The desire to wake up without the help of alarm clock. C. The desire to fall asleep easily and wake up naturally. D. The desire to have a good night’s sleep.

73. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______.

A. the author takes having enough sleep as a fortune.

B. the person turning to the alarm clock to wake up lacks sleep.

C. the alarm clock interrupts the sleeping people who still want to sleep.

D. the pressure from work is one of the reasons that people can’t get enough sleep.

74. That Shakespeare left his wife “second best bed” showed______.

A. he wanted to leave the best to himself.

B. the forefathers knew the importance of sleep. C. he is not generous . D. he loves his wife.

75. What is the tone the author uses in the passage?

A. Neutral B. admiring C. Critical D.Positive

Section C

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.

A. Do established musicians have a responsibility to guide and assist young up-and-coming musicians? B. Did anyone promote your musical education when you were growing up? C. What kind of “world music” do you enjoy? D. What’s your comment on pop music? E. Does the contemporary music press give jazz the coverage it deserves? F. What’s wrong with the music on the radio? An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician

80. There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my latent and the talents of other students in our school.

81. Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie

Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big, romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.

82. Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a little like the

cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.

83. The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is overwhelming.

Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.

84. The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless it’s a big name. New jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.

Men, these days, are embracing fatherhood with the round-the-clock involvement their partners have always dreamed of-handling night feedings, packing lunches and bandaging knees. But unlike women, many find they're negotiating their new roles with little support or information. \in my generation (aged 25-40) have a fear of becoming dads because we have no role models.\says Jon Smith, a writer. They often find themselves excluded from mothers' support networks, and are eyed warily(警觉地) on the playground.

The challenge is particularly evident in the work-place.There,men are still expected to be breadwinners climbing the corportate ladder;traditionally-minded bosses are often unsympathetic to family needs.In Denmark most new fathers only take two weeks of paternity leave(父亲的陪产假)-even though they are allowed 34 days.As much as if not more so than women,fathers struggle to be taken seriously when they request flexible arrangements.

Though Wilfried-Fritz Maring,54,a data-bank and Internet specialist with German firm FIZ Karlsruhe,feels that the time he spends with his daughter ourweighs any disadvantages,he admits,\

Mind-set(思维定势)are changing gradually.When Maring had a daughter,the company equipped him with a home office and allowed him to choose a job that could be performed from there.Danish telecom vompany TDC initated an internal campaign last year to encourage dads to take paternity leave;97 percent now do.\kids,he gets a new kind of training;in how to keep cool under stress.\Elbery Holm.For a new generation of dads,kids may come before the company-but it's a shift that benefits both.
