II. Reading Comprehension
(3 marks each)
Directions:
There are 3
reading passages in this part. Each passage is
followed by some
questions. For each
question there are four suggested answers marked
A, B, C and D.
You
should
choose
the
ONE
best
answer
and
blacken
the
corresponding
letter
on
the
Answer
Sheet with a pencil.
Questions 41 ~ 45
are based on the following passage:
It
is the duty of every man to work. The lazy man
wastes his time, and his life is of no
use to himself or to others. The man
who is too lazy to work is the man who is
generally
most ready to beg or steal.
Every one when he is young should learn some
useful work.
But it is not enough that
one should learn some kind of work. He should work
hard, and
not waste his spare minutes
or half hours. “Work while
you work and
play while
you
play” is as
good a rule for young people
as for the
old.
There is no better aid to
diligence than the habit of early rising, and
this, like all other
good habits, is
most easily formed in youth.
There is
an English saying “Lost time never returns.” This
means that everybody must
be
diligent,
and
must
make
a
good
use
of
his
time.
One
must
study
hard
when
he
is
4
第
页
共
42
页
young, so that he may succeed in his
life and become useful to his country.
I have never heard that those who are
diligent will become beggars, but I know that lazy
fellows
will
become
beggars.
Therefore,
I
should
say
that
diligence
is
the
mother
of
success.
41. The best title
of the passage could be “_____”
A.
Learn to work
B. diligence
C. Early Rising
Is a Good Habit
D. Students
Should Study Hard
42. According to the
passage, which of the following statements is NOT
TRUE?
A.
Habits
are easily formed when one is young.
B.
Old people can
easily form the habit of getting up early
C.
One should be
diligent
D.
A
lazy man is likely to be harmful to society
43. From the passage, we can concluded
that ______.
nce can always
help one to achieve success
B. laziness always leads to theft
C. “Lost time never
returns” is a law of physics
D. youth is the only
important period in life
44. According
to the passage, the best way to make a person
diligent is ___.
A. to make good use of his
time
B. to learn some
useful work
C. to work hard
D.
to get up early
45. From the passage,
we can guess that the author of the passage is
____.
A. a lazy man
B.
a beggar
C. a diligent man
D. a writer
Questions 46~50
are based on the following passage:
Some
of
the
notebooks
George
Washington
kept
as
a
young
man
show
what
he
was
learning.
He was learning Latin. He was very interested in
the basics of good behavior in
society
and was reading English literature.
At
school he seems to have been interested in
mathematics. In fact his formal education
was surprisingly brief and incomplete.
For unlike other young men of good families, he
did
not
go
to
the
College
of
William
and
Mary
in
the
Virginian
capital.
In
terms
of
formal
training
then,
Washington
was
different
from
some
other
early
American
Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson and James Madison. In later
years,
Washington probably
regretted his lack of intellectual training. He
never felt comfortable
in a debate in
Congress, or on any subject that had nothing to do
with everyday practical
matters. And
because he never learned French and could not
speak directly to the French
5
第
页
共
42
页
leaders,
he
did
not
visit
the
country
he
admired
so
much.
Thus,
unlike
Jefferson
and
Adams, he never reached Europe.
46. What reason does the author give
for Washington not going to college?
A.
His family
could not afford it.
B.
A college education was rather uncommon
in his time.
C.
He didn’t like the young Virginian men
of good famili
es who went to college.
D.
The author
doesn’t give any reason.
47.
Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates
because he _____.
A.
lacked practice in public speaking
B.
felt his
education was not enough
C.
didn’t like arguing and debating with
people
D.
felt the others were being impractical
48. The reason why Washington didn’t
visit France was probably that he ____.
A.
didn’t really
care about going
B.
did not know
the French leaders
C.
could not communicate directly with the
French leaders
D.
was too busy to travel
49.
According to the author, ____.
A.
Washington’s
lack of formal education placed him at a
disadvantage in later life
B.
Washington
should have gone to France even though he could
not speak French
C.
Washington was not as good a president
as Adams, Jefferson or Madison
D.
Washington was
a model for all Virginian men of good families
50. The main idea of the passage is
that Washington’s education ____.
A.
was of great
variety, covering many subjects
B.
was probable
equal to those of most young men of good families
at that time
C.
may seem poor by modern standards, but
was good enough for his time
D.
was rather
limited for a president
Questions 51~55
are based on the following passage:
The
American
definition
of
success
is
largely
one
of
acquiring
wealth
and
a
high
material
standard
of
living.
It
is
not
surprising,
therefore,
that
Americans
have
valued
education for its monetary value. The
belief is widespread in the United States that the
more schooling people have, the more
money they will earn when they leave school. The
belief is strongest regarding the
desirability of a undergraduate university degree,
or a
professional
degree
such
as
medicine
or
law
following
the
undergraduate
degree.
The
monetary
value of graduate
degree in “nonprofessional ” fields such as art,
history, or
6
第
页
共
42
页
philosophy is not as great.
The belief in the monetary value of
education is supported by statistics on income.
Ben
Wattenberg,
a
social
scientist,
estimated
that
in
the
course
of
a
lifetime
a
man
with
a
college
degree
in
1972
would
earn
about
$$380
000
more
than
a
man
with
just
a
high
school
diploma.
Perhaps
this
helps
to
explain
survey
findings
which
showed
that
the
Americans who wished they had lived
their lives differently on some way regretted most
of all that they did not get more
education.
51. What most Americans like
most about higher education is ____.
A. its cultural
value
B. its monetary value
C. its moral
value
D. its material value
52.
According to the passage, which of the following
statements is not true?
A.
Americans
take
success
as acquiring
wealth
and
a
higher
material
standard
of
living.
B.
In American people’s mind eyes,
education has its monetary value.
C.
Education is
the only way to acquire wealth.
D.
A person’s
income is related to his schooling.
53. The passage says that people have
stronger desire to ____.
A. study medicine
B. study history
C. study
law
54. In the survey
findings, some Americans regretted ____.
A.
not having
much education
B.
having too much unnecessary education
C.
living
differently
D.
earning $$ 380 000
55. In
this passage, the writer wanted to show us ____.
A.
the earlier
you start to work, the better you live
B.
education is
very important in the American society
C.
people with
little education are looked down upon by others
everywhere in the
United States
D.
Americans take
money seriously

Then

letter
on

Answer
Sheet with a pencil.
About 485 years
ago, a man stood alone on the coast of Spain. He
looked toward the
west and said to
himself, “The earth cannot be flat. If
I sail westward,
56 I shall hit
land,
India
perhaps,
and
the
queen
will
have
a
new
and
shorter
57
to
the
riches of
that country.”
Christopher
Columbus
told
his
idea
to
Queen
Isabella
of
Spain.
She
give
58
three
men. And
Columbus sailed westward for many weeks, through
59
seas.
60, he saw
land: a group of islands now called the West
Indians. Columbus was sure it
was
India, and he called the natives
“Indos”.
Stories
of
what
Columbus
found
quickly
61
across
Europe.
His
word
“Indos”
became
“Indians”
to
the
English.
62
all
the
natives
of
the
West
Indias
and
Central
America became known
as “Indians”.
Christopher
Columbus
63
four trips to the New World. Yet, he
died in Spain without
knowing where he
had been. He died
64
he had sailed to India.
It was soon learned that Columbus had
made a mistake.
65
the word “Indian” was
well established in Europe.
The first 66
who
arrived in North Carolina and Birginia in the
early 1600’s called the
natives
Indians.
This
name
spread
north
67
the
colonies
of
Maryland,
New
York,
Pennsylvania and New
England were settled.
Today
the
word
is
used
to
68
the
descendants
of
the
first
peoples
of
North
and
South America. In the
far north they are called Eakimos. And in the far
south
69
are
the Patagonians and the
Fuegians.
Students
and
scholars
have
long
known
70
the
American
Indians
were
not
really
Indians
71
.
And
one
scholar
proposed
a
name
that
he
believed
would
be
better
—
Amerinds.
He made up this name by
72
American and Indian. This
word is
often used today by other
scholars, but the general
73
has heard
little of it.
Word experts say the name
Indian may be wrong but we are stuck with it. It
is too late to
change it to Amerind.
Most people would not

movie of the old west be

(76) The invention of electronic
computers makes it possible to free man from the
labour
of complicated measurement and
computation.
A high speed electronic
computer can carry out up to one hundred million
arithmetical
operations in one second.
A computation which would have taken years of
human work
in
the
past
is
now
done
in
a
few
seconds.
(77)
A
number
of
various
complicated
problems which could not be solved
before have been solved with the help of
computers.
Accurate measurement and
exact computation are the bases of modern
engineering and
scientific research.
Every engineering worker must determine accurately
the amount of
any change that the
material to be used undergoes in different
conditions.
And every science worker
will have to make numerous accurate computations
before he
can
say
that
the
results
of
his
experiment
are
correct.
(78)
Yet
there
exist
complex
computations
in
science
and
engineering
which
science
workers
are
unable
to
make
because they are too
long and too complicate. Here is an example which
can illustrate
9

页
how
much
time
some
of
them
may
take.
In
order
to
solve
a
complicated
chemical
problem a chemistry
worker must make about four million operations.
(79) It would take
him years to work
the problem out, while electronic computing
machine would do the
same job only in a
few second.
We
may
divide
electronic
computers
into
two
groups:
machines
that
can
control
and
those
that
can
count.
The
former
is
used
in
satellites,
guided
missiles,
weather-
forecasting instruments and other devices, both
simple and sophisticated. And
the
later
can
add,
subtract,
multiply
and
divide.
(80)
Such
machines
are
to
do
any
operation which we can reduce to
arithmetic. Besides, they are able to combine many
problems and take them in any order.

Questions 41 ~ 45
are based on the following passage:
There are three common calendar systems
in use by the United States higher education
institution. Semester Systems are one
of them.
The academic year is divided
into two terms, each of which provides for about
15 weeks
of instruction plus a week for
final examinations. The fall semester, considered
the first
term
of
the
academic
year,
usually
begins
in
September
or
late
August,
and
it
is
increasingly
common
for
the
term
to
start
early
enough
to
be
completed
before
the
two-
week
Christmas
holiday.
Colleges
start
later
in
September.
The
second
or
spring
semester usually begins sometime in
January and ends in late May or early June. Most
schools
schedule
a
one-
or
two-week
vacation
in
March
or
April.
A
variation
of
the
semester system being tried by some
institutions is the “4—
1
—4”
calendar, which has a
four-month
fall
semester
ending
in
December,
a
one-
month
short
term
in
January
for
which
students
may
enroll
if
they

Questions 46~50 are based on the
following passage:
D. In February
In sport the sexes are separate. Women
and men do not run or swim in the same faces.
Women are less strong than men. That at
least is what people say. Women are called “the
weaker sex”, or, if men want to please
them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are
taught
together at schools and
universities. There are women who are famous Prime
Ministers,
scientists and writers. And
women live longer than men. A European woman can
expect
to live until the age of 74, a
man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really
weaker?
The fastest men can
run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need
4.5 minutes.
Women’s times are always
slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise.
Some of the
fastest women swimmers
today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400
meters in 4
minutes 21.2 seconds when
she was onl
y 16. The first
“Tarzan”(
泰山
) in films was an
Olympic
swimmer,
Johnny
Weiss
Muller.
His
fastest
400
meters
was
4
minutes
59.1
seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower
than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean
that
women are catching men up.
Conditions are very different now, and sport is
much more
serious. It is so serious
that some women athletes are given hormone
injections. At the
Olympics a doctor
has to check whether the women athletes are really
women or not. It
seems
sad
that
sport
has
such
problems.
Life
can
be
very
complicated
when
there
are
two separate sexes!
46.
Women are called “the weaker sex” because
____.
A.
women do as much work as men
B.
people think
women are weaker than men
C.
sport is easier for men than for women
D.
in sport the
two sexes are always together
47. Which
of the following is true?
A.
Boys and girls study separately
everywhere.
B.
Women do not run or swim in races with
men.
C.
Famous
Prime Ministers are women.
D.
Men can expect
to live longer than women in Europe.
48. “That at least is what people say.”
Means people____.
A.
B.
C.
D.

B.

C.

do not run or swim in the same races.
D.
It is
difficult to check whether women athletes are

50. In this passage the
author implies that ____.
A.
women are weaker than men, but faster
B.
women are
slower than men, but stronger
C.
men are not
always stronger and faster than women
D.
men are faster

Questions 51~55
are base on the following passage:
The
stamp collector can learn a great deal from the
colorful pieces of paper he put
in his
album. In addition to learning some basic things
about organization and systematic
arrangement,
the
stamp
collector
can
receive
a
good
course
in
history
and
geography
from stamps. As a
collector progresses and becomes more specialized,
stamps teach him
some basic facts about
engraving, paper, and printing.
Stamps
are
excellent
sources
of
historical
information.
Almost
every
nation
celebrates its
military heroes and political leaders on its
postage stamps. But scientists
and
artists,
from
Einstein
to
Beethoven,
also
grace
the
stamps
of
the
world.
Famous
battles
are
frequently
commemorated,
as
well
as
buildings
and
scenes
which
have
historical
significance.
Several
of
the
world’s
stamps
are
beautiful,
full
-color
reproductions of the artistic
masterpieces of different historical periods.
Stamps also offer instruction in
geography. It doesn’t
take long before
a beginning
collector checks the
locations of the countries from which his stamps
come. Nations like
Liechtenstein, San
Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan,
while unknown to
many, are usually
quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each
country tends to use
stamps to
advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned
attractions as Yosemite National
Park,
Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and
Fundy appear on the stamps of the
nation within whose borders they lie.
If
he
wishes
to
become
more
of
a
specialist,
the
stamp
collector
can
learn
some
basic
things about engraving, paper, and printing. The
more advanced collector learns to
distinguish
between
offset
and
letterpress
printing.
He
learns
to
identify
the
different
impressions
made
by
metal
and
wooden
engraved
plates.
He
finds
out
how
to
detect
watermarks in the various papers used
for stamps, and how to identify the
characteristics
of
different
papers
and
the
coatings
which
are
applied
to
them.
To
the
layman,
most
stamps
appear
pretty
much
the
same.
But
armed
with
a
magnifying
glass,
the
more

specialized collector can tell the
difference between a common issue and a rare
variety.
51. Which of the following
statements do you think best describes the main
idea of the
essay?
A.
A
stamp
collector
must
have
a
great
deal
of
knowledge
in
history
and
geography.
B.
A stamp collector should be good at
organization and systematic arrangement.
C.
A stamp
collector can learn a lot from the stamps he
collects.
D.
A
stamp
collector
is
a
specialist
who
know
much
about

printing.
52. The word
“album” in the first sentence means___.
A.
a holder for
sets of disc
B.
a
blank book used for collecting stamps
C.
a frame in
which the best stamps are displayed
D.
a small box
where colorful stamps are kept
53.
“Basic thing about organization and systematic
arrangement” refers to ___.
postal organizations and systems that
print and issue new stamps
various
organizations and systems that sell new stamps
organizations all over the world that
offer help to stamp collectors
knowledge
or
information
about
how
to
organize
and

things
in

following statements is NOT true?
A.

Smoking, which may

Television is now playing a very
important part in our lives. But television, like
other
things, has both advantages and
disadvantages. Do the former outweigh the latter?
In the first place, television is not
only a convenient source of entertainment, but
also a
comparatively cheap one. (76)
For a family of four, for example, it is more
convenient as
well as cheaper to sit
comfortably at home with almost unlimited
entertainment available,
than
to
go out
in
search
of amusement
elsewhere.
(77)
They
do
not
have
to
pay
for
expensive seats at the
theatre, the cinema, or the opera, only to
discover, perhaps, that
the show is
disappointing. All they have to do is press a
button, and they can see plays,
operas,
and
shows
of
every
kind,
not
to
mention
political
discussions
and
the
latest
exciting football match. Some people,
however, maintain that this is precisely where the
danger lies. The television viewer
takes no initiative. He makes no choice and
exercises
no judgment. (78) He is
completely passive and has everything presented to
him without
any effort on his part.
Television,
it
is
often
said,
keeps
one
informed
about
current
events,
allows
one
to
follow
the
latest
developments
in
science
and
politics,
and
offers
an
endless
series
of
programmer which are both instructive
and entertaining. The most distant countries and
the strangest customs are brought right
into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that
the radio performs this service just as
well; but on television everything is much more
living, much more real. Yet here again
there is danger. (79) We get so used to looking at
it, so dependent on its flickering
pictures that it begins to dominate our lives.
There
are
many
other
arguments
for
and
against
television.
The
poor
quality
of
its
programmes
is
often
criticized.
But
it
is
undoubtedly
a
great
comfort
to
many
lonely
elderly people. And does it corrupt or
instruct our children? I think we must realize
that
television
in
itself
is
neither
good
nor
bad.
(80)
It
is
the
uses
to
which
it
is
put
that
determine its value to society.
