Directions: There are 12 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested

answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.

Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.

The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t know what they might do next.

But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才) who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.

161. We can know that the scientists who designed the machines _____________.

A. are careless in their daily life C. are out of their mind

B. are unkind and cruel

D. have great abilities

162. The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ____________.

A. they don't know anything about computers B. they haven't really understood computers C. there are so many computer games

A. computers can be controlled by man

B. there should be more people devoted to computers C. only young people are interested in computers D. more time and energy is required to control computers 164. This passage is probably written to suggest that ____________.

A. some day computers can deal with all human problems B. computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobs C. people should not fear computers

D. computer technology will not meet people’s needs in various situations 165. The author's attitude (态度) towards widely used computers is_________.

8

D. computers are often down

163. The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ____________.

A. positive

B. anxious C. worried

Passage Two

D. curious

Knowledge is power. But there is another thing we must remember. An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it most useful. There are a great many good exercises for building up our bodies. Many of them may be done indoors in rainy weather. Indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those taken out of doors because in the open air there is more oxygen. The air in the house is not fresh. But out of doors it is very fresh, especially in the morning.

But what shall we play? There are a number of games such as football, basketball, races and so on. Any game with plenty of exercises is good.

Do not neglect your health. It is of as much importance as your mind. Our country now needs people with creative minds, good judgment, and healthy bodies.

166. One who has an intelligent mind is ______ .

A. very strong

B. very healthy C. very clever D. very stupid

167. “An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it useful.” means ______ . A. if you want to make your strong body useful, you must have an intelligent mind B. in order to make your intelligent mind useful, you must have a strong body C. to make your strong mind and strong body most useful you need a strong body D. if you have a strong body you will have a strong mind 168. Which of the following statements is true? A. Indoor exercises are as helpful as outdoor ones.

B. Indoor exercises are no more helpful than outdoor exercises. C. Neither indoor exercises nor outdoor exercises are helpful. D. Outdoor exercises are more helpful than indoor ones.

169. The air in the house does not remain fresh very long. It’s because ______. A. the fresh air can’t come into the house

B. there is only a little fresh air coming in and a little waste going out C. the air in the house can’t move at all D. the house gives off wastes

170. Our country now ______ with creative minds, good judgment and healthy bodies. A. needs men and women B. only needs men

Passage Three

Survival is an art. Survivors are artists. The best acting is done in daily life, not on the stage. My late uncle Sir Alexander Korda, the motion-picture producer who could “charm money out of an empty safe”, was a gifted survivor.

Once, a group of investors called him in to complain that he had lost 5 000 000 of their money. Most men would have tried to defend themselves. Alex did not. “You are right,” he said quietly, “I have been wasteful, and careless. I have chosen the wrong scripts, paid too little attention to the budgets. I am too old for this business. I will retire. I only hope you will forgive me.”

Within an hour, the investors were busy encouraging Alex, cheering him up. It was out of the question for him to resign; they wouldn’t hear it. And by lunchtime, Alex had 2 000 000 more of their money and was back in the action again. When I asked him if he was happy about it, he said, “No. They would have put up three or four million, I think. Still, it’s a good lesson for you to learn. Always settle for less than you could get. It doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a gentleman.”

Passage Eleven

Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one's muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.

You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their bodies or, more specifically, some parts of their bodies. Often when one listens to a concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the band even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.

Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot get all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.

The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced.

211. Some psychologists maintain that thinking is______.

A. not a mental process

B. more of a physical process than a mental action

C. a process that involves the muscles as well as the whole body D. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain

212. The process of thinking and that of listening are similar in that ______. A. both are mental acts

B. muscles participate in both processes

C. both processes are performed by the entire body D. we obtain equal enjoyment from them 213. The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of ______. A. “feeling” the music

B. participating in the performance D. all of the above

C. deriving enjoyment from the music

214. Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to ______. A. hear the music C. train the muscle

B. appreciate the music

D. figure out the real meaning of a piece of music

215. The best title for this selection is _______. A. An Ear for Music

B. Music Appreciation

C. How Muscles Participates in Mental Acts D. A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process

Passage Twelve

The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross. The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen David, the Sun, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.

15

The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.

The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public, such as helping people in need, teaching first aid, demonstrating water safety and artificial respiration, and providing blood. 216.

Dr. William C Stokoe, Jr., was the chairman of the English Department at Gallaudet University. He saw the way deaf people communicated and was extremely 221 .

Passage Two

Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Widespread 231 of written language would not have been 232 without some cheap and practical material to write 233 .

Paper was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very 236 used before the year 1400.

When I was a boy, children always objected 241 wearing school uniform but teachers were 242 on it because they said all of us looked 243 . Otherwise, they said children could compete with 244 and the poorer children would be unhappy because people would see how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have 245 the idea of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear 246 they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own. When some journalists visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed in jeans. One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey because 247 wants to look different 248 the other children in the class. Parents may not be as happy about this as children, but they 249 to be, because this new kind of uniform is one that the children like, not something they have forced to wear, and it is also 250 cheaper than school uniform used to be. 241.

Passage Five

There are times when you find yourself unable to work out a problem. It is at this 261 that the way in which you use your teacher is important. With a good teachers such times should be less frequent than with a bad one, so the 262 the teacher, the more responsibility you have for your success! Whatever your luck in this 263 , one thing is most significant and stays the same, whatever the quality of teaching you 264 : if there is something you don't understand, you must ask, again and again if necessary, until you do understand it fully. 265 as this may seem, it is almost unbelievable how many people would rather sit in silent ignorance than admit not understanding. To behave in such a way is the only truly 266 thing a student can do: it's a false form of pride, which is the most useless, damaging quality anyone can have, to say 267 of a student! Therefore, regard your teacher as a guide or even a friend and do not sit 268 wondering what he's going on about. You may also ask a friend or classmate for help. Remember, there's always someone who is better than you in your class. And many newspapers and magazines set the special 269 for students, you can write to them and get replied in time.

Passage Six

The relations between men and wives are changing too. A majority of working women remain 271 their home; they come back at night to the cleaning, washing, and cooking that 272 their second career. But more and more husbands are sharing the burden and willingly 273 chores that their fathers would have rejected as unmanly, and as too much mysteriously difficult anyway. 274 such cases, man and

18

wife become equal partners, both working outside, both pushing their vacuum cleaner. 275 , the number of husbands who do help in that way is much smaller than the number of those who accept the idea in theory, 276 the equal partnership is a fact, it does not always work well. The marriage can be destroyed when the wife is more successful in her profession 277 her husband in his, particularly when she earns more than he does. Sociologists see in this situation one of the main reasons for the increase in divorce rate, another reason 278 the husband’s refusal to help with the housework or the care of children.
