Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Misjudging someone’s use of silence can take place in many contexts and on many
levels. Take pausing for example. One’s conversational style may be marked by frequent pausing, thus giving room (or time) for the discourse partner to jump into the conversation by taking his or her next turn. Some speakers, however, may think that the pauses others leave for them are not long enough to claim the floor(發(fā)言權(quán)) without being rude, while it may be the feeling of the other party that longer pauses would create awkward silences. Such differences in the perception and valuation of pauses may lead to conflict. The person who does not tolerate long pauses may wonder why the other does not want to talk, whereas the person who needs longer pauses to take a turn may think of his or her partner as intolerably talkative.
21. What is the passage mainly about?
A) Different conversational style.
B) Silence.
C) Pauses.
D) Misjudging someone’s use of silence.
22. “Jump into the conversation” in the fifth line means ____.
A) participate in the conversation
B) become involved in the conversation
C) disturb the conversation
D) interrupt the speaker by taking one’s turn unexpectedly
23. What can we conclude from the passage?
A) A talkative person may not want the other to stop.
B) Some speakers may think the pauses others leave for them are too short.
C) A pause may be interpreted in different ways.
D) We should tolerate long pauses.
24. Conflicts may be aroused except____.
A) when the person needs longer pauses while the other needs short pauses
B) when the person’s conversational style is marked by frequent pausing
C) when the person thinks pauses are too short while the other thinks they may create awkward silences
D) when the person wonders why the other stops while the other thinks why his or her partner is so talkative
25. What is the author’s attitude towards pauses in conversations?
A) Aggressive.
B) Neutral.
C) Critical.
D) Positive.
Passage Two
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.
All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. Elections to
positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example,
by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the enormous numbers of
students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity.
A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.
26. Normally a student would at least attend ____ classes each week.
A) 36 B) 12
C) 20 D) 15
27. According to the first paragraph,an American student is allowed ____.
A) to live in a different university
B) to take a particular course in a different university
C) to live at home and drive to classes
D) to get two degrees from two different universities
28. American university students are usually under pressure of work because ____.A) their academic performance will affect their future careers
B) they are heavily involved in student affairs
C) they have to run for positions of authority
D) they have to attend a lot of classes
29. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations
probably because ____.
A) they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study
B) they will then be able to stay longer in the university
C) such positions help them get better jobs
D) such positions are usually well paid
30. The student organizations seem to be effective in ____.
A) dealing with the academic affairs of the university
B) ensuring that the students observe university regulations
C) evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court
D) keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities
Passage Three
The Industrial Revolution in Britain first began in the textile industry. England had been a major producer of wool for centuries. Ever since the enclosures,
wool and then woolen cloth had been the principal exports of England. And cloth
-making, though a domestic industry in the early years, had the characteristic of captalist production which separated the employer from the employee and introduced the division of labour, such as carding, spinning, weaving, fulling and dyeing. With the expansion of market, the demand for cloth also increased. But a spinner with a distaff could only make one thread at a time. The short supply of yarn became the main obstacle to mass production of cloth. The general effort to improve thread-making techniques led to the invention of spinning Jenny in 1764, by the English spinner Hargreaves. The new instrument enabled a singly workman to spin eight or ten threads at once. A year later, Richard Arkwright, a barber, patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers. Then in 1779, Samual Crompton drew on these two new devices and invented a new kind of spinning machine known as the mule. It greatly accelerated the speed of production and improved the quality of thread. Then Arkwright established a great factory by applying power-driven mules and became known as Father of Factory System in England.
By the end of the 18th Century, power-driven machines spinning two hundred threads simultaneously had been introduced in production.
31. What was the most important export of England before the revolution?
A) Wool cloth.
B) Wool and woolen cloth.
C) Spinning machines.
D) Power-driven machines.
32. Capitalist production was characterized by ____.
A) the separation of the employer from the employee
B) the division of labour
C) both A and B
D) the expansion of market
33. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A) Hargreaves invented the spinning Jenny.
B) Arkwright patented a device for drawing out thread by means of rollers and thus was called Father of Factory System in England.
C) Samual Crompton invented the spinning machine mule.
D) By the end of the 18th century, power-driven spinning machines could produce two hundred threads simultaneously.
34. “simultaneously” in the last sentence means ____.
A) at the same time B) together
C) at a time D) altogether
35. This passage can best be titled ____.
A) Process of the Industrial Revolution
B) Beginning of the Industrial Revolution
C) What led to the Industrial Revolution
D) Effects of the Industrial Revolution
Passage Four
James Joyce was an Irish novelist who revolutionized the methods of depicting characters and developing a plot in modern fiction. His astonishing way of constructing a novel, his frank portrayal of human nature in his books, and his complete command of English have made him one of the outstanding influences on literature in the 20th Century. Many critics judge that he is second only to Shakespeare in his mastery of the English language. Joyce was deeply influenced by Ireland and wrote all his books about Dublin.
When he was in Dublin College, he studied languages and spent his spare time
reading books. He refused to take part in the nationalist movement like his fellow students, but he became passionately interested in literature. He wrote outspoken articles of literary criticism that shocked his teachers and even taught himself Norwegian so that he could read Ibsen’s works in the original.
When he graduated in 1902, he knew he would become a writer and an exile, because he felt he could not be one without the other. In order to preserve his ideal of writing truthfully, fully, and as objectively as he knew how, about the people and places he knew best, he had to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life. He went to France, Italy and Switzerland, where he lived in poverty and obscurity for the first 20 years, only returning to Ireland when his mother was dying. Except for a couple of brief trips, he stayed abroad all his life.
36. James Joyce was first of all a ____.
A) revolutionary B) critic
C) novelist D) exile

A) achievement in literature
B) achievement in the nationalist movement
C) achievement in his study of languages
D) mastery of the English language
39. How many examples are used to show his passion in literature?
A) 2. B) 3.
C) 1. D) 4.
40. Why did James Joyce stay abroad almost all his life?
A) Because he wanted to live in poverty and obscurity.
B) Because he wanted to write the people and places he knew best.
C) Because he wanted to escape from all temptations to become involved in popular opinion or public life.

His speech will be characterized ___86___ a limited range of grammatical patterns and vocabulary and the use of idioms to ___87___ some general meaning quickly.

Section B
Passage One
The dog has often been an unselfish friend to man. It is always grateful to its master. It helps man in many ways. Certain breeds of dogs are used in criminal investigations. They are trained to sniff out drugs and bombs. They help police to catch criminals. Some dogs are trained to lead blind people.
The dogs that help in criminal investigations are trained at a school called
the Military Dog Studies branch of the US Air Force in Lackland, Texas. The dogs
to be trained are selected by an air force team. This team visits large cities
across the country to buy the dogs. They may buy dogs from private citizens for
up to $750 each. Some citizens freely give their dogs. The dogs selected must be
healthy, brave and aggressive. They must be able to fight back if they are attacked. The dogs chosen are between the ages of one and three. They are given a medical examination when they arrive at the school. Their physical examination includes X-rays and heart tests. The trainee dogs undergo the first stage of training when they arrive in Lackland. This is an 11-week course for patrol duty. After this course, the best dogs are selected to go on another 9-week course. They learn drug-sniffing or bomb-sniffing. After this course, the dogs are ready for their jobs in the cities or on air force bases.
The training given to a drug-sniffing dog is different from that given to a bomb-sniffing dog. A drug-sniffing dog is trained to scratch and dig for the drugs when he sniffs them. A bomb-sniffing dog sits down when he finds a bomb. That
is the alert for hidden explosives.
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. How are the dogs obtained for training?
12. What is the first stage of training for the dogs?
13. What do dogs learn during the 9-week training?
Passage Two
From this lookout we enjoy one of the most spectacular views of San Francisco
. As you can see, the city rests on a series of hills varying in altitude from sea level to nine hundred and thirty-eight feet.
The first permanent settlement was made at this site in 1776. For thirteen years the village had fewer than one hundred inhabitants. But in 1848, with the discovery of gold, the population grew to ten thousand. The same year the name was changed from Yerba Buea to San Francisco.
By 1862 telegraph communications linked San Francisco with eastern cities, and by 1869, the first transcontinental railroad connected the Pacific coast with
the Atlantic seaboard. Today San Francisco has a population of almost three million. It is the financial center of the west, and serves as the terminus for trans-Pacific steamship lines and air traffic. The port of San Francisco which is almost eighteen miles long with fort-two piers, handles between five and six million tons of cargo annually.
And now, if you will look to your right, you should just be able to see the east section of the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge, which is more than one mile long, spans the harbor from San Francisco to Marin County and the Red Wood Highway. It was completed in 1937 at a cost of thirty-two million dollars and is still
one of the largest suspension bridges in the world.
Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. According to the tour guide, what happened in 1848?
15. What is the population of San Francisco today?
16. How much did it cost to complete the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge?
Passage Three
For good or bad, computers are now part of our daily lives. With the price of
a small home computer now being lower, experts predict that before long all schools and businesses and most families in the rich parts of the world will own a
computer of some kind. Among the general public, computers arouse strong feelings——people either love them or hate them.
The computer lovers talk about how useful computers can be in business, in education and in the home——apart from all the games, you can do your accounts on
them, use them to control your central heating, and in some places even do your
shopping with them. Computers, they say, will also bring some leisure, as more
and more unpleasant jobs are taken over by computerized robots.
The haters, on the other hand, argue that computers bring not leisure but unemployment. They worry, too, that people who spend all their time talking to computers will forget how to talk to each other. And anyway, they ask, what’s wrong
with going shopping and learning languages in classroom with real teachers? But
their biggest fear is that computers may eventually take over from human beings
altogether.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
17. What does this passage mainly talk about?
18. According to the passage, what is not mentioned about computers?
19. What is the biggest fear of the computer haters?
20. What’s the speaker’s attitude to computers?

57. 【答案】C

Failure Is the Mother of Success
In one way of thinking, failure is what often happens. For some objective or
subjective reasons, we often have to face failure in a complex society. No one can avoid failure in one or another aspect of daily life. In another way, failure
may be a way towards success. It makes us think a lot. We learn the lessons and
accumulate the experience, and then we try to get access to the possible soluti
on. Failure can become treasures. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
In my opinion, failure isn’t always a bad thing. We will have a more realistic view about ourselves and the world around us. As people often say, failure is
the mother of success. A temporary loser does not necessarily mean a permanent loser. Grasping opportunity, everyone can succeed with his or her efforts.
