Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)

Passage 1

A receptionist’s job is to welcome and register the guest. When a guest with a hotel registration arrives at the front desk, the receptionist greets the guest and then gives out an registration form to the guest to fill out.

When the guest has completed the form, the receptionist must make sure that such information items as the guest’s full name, address (home and business), nationality, forwarding address, the purpose of his visit and signature are entered correctly and legibly（可辨认的）. If the visitor is an alien （外宾）, information about his passport number, place of issue and date of issue also need to be recorded. The receptionist must also check and make sure that such reservation details as room type and departure date are not

changed. Besides, the receptionist is also responsible for answering any question from the guests, helping them with any problems that they may have, answering telephones and taking messages for the guests and handling complaints from dissatisfied guests.

Another part of his job is to deal with group check-ins and large numbers of conference guests. When large tour groups and conference guests check in, it is always advisable for the receptionist to require the tour leader or the conference coordinator（协调人） to handle the registration forms and hand it over to the front desk himself.

After a guest is properly registered, the receptionist gives the guest his room key card that was prepared while the guest was completing the registration form and explains the hotel’s service to the guest or informs the guest of the place where the guest can find information about the hotel’s service himself. Finally, he should wish the guest an enjoyable stay at the hotel.

Passage 2

Most men and more than half of the women in North America work. In fact many people who are lazy and don’t work for a living are looked down upon, such as people who have got a fortune from their parents, or those who receive money from the government when they are young enough to take a job.

Americans usually are expected to work hard at their regular jobs. They believe that they could feel shameful if they did not work as hard and as carefully as they could, and God would punish those who were careless or lazy in their work. This is called the “work ethic”. Its roots are in the Bible’s teachings: “If a man will not work, she shall not eat.” And “ Do not work to please men, but just to please God.” For 400 years or more, it has been a characteristic of Americans. Historians say that this “work ethic” was perhaps the single most important reason for the rapid economic growth and continuing success of the United States.

For the sake of better work, now companies are much more flexible in the number of days and hours their employees work. Many offices now allow their employees to choose the time they begin in the morning, so long as they arrive before 10:00 am and work for 8 hours.

In America, there are women who choose to stay home as homemakers rather than to pursue a career. This is possible if the husband’s salary is enough to support the family. These women value family over career, and are not considered lazy by any means.

41. In America, “work ethic” refers to ____. A. inheriting fortune from parents

B. receiving the government’s help when one is young C. no eating without working

D. working hard and carefully as he/she could

42. According to the passage, the American economy grows fast essentially because of ____.

A. the people’s attitude towards work B. people’s hard and careful work C. the role of the government D. the influence of the religion

43. Which of the following is TRUE about the passage?

A. American companies allow each worker to choose the time to begin work. B. American women who are homemakers are very lazy.

C. Men work harder and more carefully than women in America.

D. Women as homemakers place more importance to family than work. 44. Who can not be looked down upon according to the passage? A. People who have got a big fortune from parents

B. Young people who receive money from the government. C. Women who choose to stay as homemakers. D. Employees who are lazy at work

45. The best title of the passage might be ____. A. The development of American “Work Ethic” B. Flexible Working-time Arrangement C. The Work in America

D. The Role of Work in America

Passage 3

Advertisement played a vital role in the change of the American economy from one in which most goods were produced and sold locally to one developed mainly by brand names and products sold nationally.

Before the 1880s, most advertisements consisted entirely of print. The print itself was primarily informational: it described the product and where it could be achieved. The few images that ads contained were highly stylized. Very few ads featured slogans(口号，标语) or brand names.

Beginning in the 1890s, however, advertisements experienced a great-change. They began to look like advertising today, focusing on visual images, slogans, catch-phrases, and importance of individual’s health and psychological wealth. The J. Walter Thompson advertising agency sold Scott tissue by warning consumers of “the troubles caused by harsh toilet tissue’. Lucky Strike sold cigarettes to women first by using the slogan “Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet” and later by describing cigarettes as “torches of freedom,” as symbols of modern values.

Advertisements helped to transform American values. They made Americans aware of such “problems” as halitosis(口臭) and strange smell of body. More seriously, they helped promote a shift from an emphasis on saving toward consumption. They also helped to shift from a culture mainly toward words to the one toward visual images. 46. The first paragraph mainly tells us that ____.

A. advertising improved the product quality

B. advertising helped expand the goods distribution area C. the change of American economy was necessary

D. producing and selling goods locally was the primary form of American economy 47. The advertisements before the 1880s ____. A. did not use images at all B. used various types of images C. ignored the role of images

D. used many slogans and brand names

B. They led American people to consumption.

C. They made the Americans realize social problems.

D. They shaped the American culture into one oriented to visual images. 50. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is to ____.

A. describe the characteristics of the advertisements in early days

B. persuade people to pay attention to the importance of visual images in advertising C. tell people the development and role of American advertising D. explain how to sell goods by advertisements nowadays

Passage 4

The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from impolite behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.

In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are a rather harmless people, just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality(道德) that carelessness is no excuse when one’s actions could bring death or damage to others.

Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents result from the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can damage drivers’ reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be obvious. The experts warn that it is essential for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one’s emotions under control.

Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations. They are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents. Many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.

51. According to the writer, the motor vehicle accident happens essentially because of ____.

A. the driver’s poor driving techniques

B. the driver’s violation of others’ legal and moral rights C. the street walkers’ carelessness while walking D. the street walkers’ violation of traffic regulations

52. According to the writer, the main solution to automobile accidents is to ____. A. reduce drivers’ tiredness B. improve drivers’ judgment C. control drivers’ emotion D. restrict drivers’ speed

53. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The street walkers in the vehicle accidents can be forgiven in some accidents. B. The irresponsibility of many vehicle accidents should not be left alone on drivers. C. Many cyclists ignore their responsibility in following traffic regulations. D. The cyclists don’t have to obey the rules of the road.

54. The word “confined” (Line 1, Para.4) most probably means ____. A. controlled B. defined C. restricted D. forgiven 55. This passage is mainly about ____.

A. the severity of the motor vehicle accidents B. the responsibilities of the cyclists

C. the street walkers’ responsibility for the motor vehicle accidents D. responsibilities of drivers and others’ for the motor vehicle accidents

Thanks to the means of modern transportation and communication, the world is getting smaller and smaller.
