Part Ⅱ Reading
Comprehension (40% )
Directions: There are 4
reading passages in this part. Each passage is
followed by some questions
or unfinished
statements. For each of them the re 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 centre.
Passage 1
Clothes play a critical part in the
conclusions we reach by providing clues to who
people are,
who they are not, and who they
would like to be. They tell us a good deal about
the wearer's
background, personality, status,
mood, and social outlook.
Since clothes are
such an important source of social information, we
can use them to manipulate
people's impression
of us. Our appearance assumes particular
significance in the initial phases of
interaction that is likely to occur. An
elderly middle-class man or woman may be
alienated(疏远)
by a young adult who is dressed
in an unconventional manner, regardless of the
person's education,
background, or interests.
People tend to agree on what certain types
of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree
on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain
outfits(套装), including the number of boyfriends
they
likely have had and whether they smoke or
drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the
news on TV, are considered to be more
convincing, honest, and competent when they are
dressed
conservatively. And collage students
who view themselves as taking an active role in
their inter
personal relationships say they
are concerned about the costumes they must wear to
play these
roles successfully. Moreover, many
of us can relate instances in which the clothing
we wore
changed the way we felt about
ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used
clothing to
gain confidence when you
anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job
interview, or a court
appearance.
In
the workplace, men have long had well-defined
precedents and role models for achieving
success. It has been otherwise for women. A
good many women in the business world are
3
uncertain about the appropriate mixture
of an d attributes they should
convey by their
professional clothing. The variety of clothing
alternatives to women has also been
greater
than that avail able for men. Male administrators
tend to judge women more favorably for
managerial positions when the women display
less grooming(打扮)-shorter hair,
moderate use
of makeup, and plain tailored clothing. As one
male administrator confessed,
attractive woman
is definitely going to get a longer interview, but
she won't get a job.
21. According to the
passage, the way we dress __________.
A)
provides clues for people who are critical of us
B) indicates our likes and dislikes in
choosing a career
C) has a direct influence
on the way people regard us
D) is of
particular importance when we get on in age
22. From the third paragraph of the passage,
we can conclude that young adults t end to
believe that certain types of clothing can
__________.
A) change people's conservative
attitudes toward their lifestyle
B) help
young people make friends with the opposite sex
C) make them competitive in the job market
D) help them achieve success in their
interpersonal relationships
23. The word
A) early acts for men
to follow as examples
B) particular places
for men to occupy especially because of their
importance
C) things that men should agree
upon
D) men's beliefs that everything in the
world has already been decided
24. According
to the passage, many career women find themselves
in difficult situations
because __________.
A) the variety of professional clothing is
too wide for them to choose
B) women are
generally thought to be only good at being fashion
models
C) men are more favorably judged for
managerial positions
D) they are not sure
to what extent they should display their feminine
qualities
through clothing
25. What
is the passage mainly about?
A) Dressing
for effect. B) How to dress appropriately.
C) Managerial positions and clothing. D) Dressing
for the occasion
Passage 2
Who coined the
term personal computer? The Oxford English
Dictionary says Byte magazine
used it first,
in its May 1976 issue. But Yale Law School
librarian Fred Shapiro decided to do
some
digging on his own his own, with help from JSTOR,
an online electronic database for
4
academic journals. JSTOR’s arts and
sciences archive offers scans of 5 million pages
from 117
journals, some dating back 150 years.
Using character-recognition software, JSTOR
creates
searchable files for each document,
allowing full-text searches across 15 academic
fields.
While searching for the origin of
personal computer, Shapiro uncovered several
competing
claims. Stewart Brand, founder of
Whole Earth Catalog, says on his Web site that he
first referred
to a “personal computer” in a
1974 book; and GUI pioneer Alan Kay is said to
have used the term
in a paper published in
1972.
But a search on JSTOR’s general science
archive turned up what Shapiro says is the
earliest
recorded use of personal computer, in
the October 4, 1968, issue of Science. The issue
contains a
Hewlett-Packard advertisement for
its new HP 9100A. “The new Hewlett-Packard 9100A
personal
computer,” the advertisement says, is
“ready, willing and able… to relieve you of
waiting to get on
the big computer ” The
$$4,900device, a desktop scientific calculator
equipped with magnetic cards
doesn’t seem like
much of a computer nowadays. And at 40 pounds, it
wasn’t very personal, either.
But according to
Shapiro, it was the first device to be called a
personal computer.
21. The term “personal
computer” first appeared_______.
A
B
C
in Byte magazine
in a 1974 book.
in a Hewlett-Packard ad in Science
D in a
paper published by Alan Kay
22. What is JSTOR?
A
B
C
D
A
B
C
D
It is a research organization.
It is an
online database.
It is a kind of computer
software.
It is an academic journal.
looking into the Oxford English Dictionary
digging into magazines that are more than 150
years old
focusing on academic journals such
as Science
scanning JSTOR’s general science
archive on line
23. Shapiro succeeded in his
search for the origin of the term personal
computer by_______.
24. With a HP9100A,
according to the Hewlett-Packard advertisement,
you ___________.
A can save a lot of money
B
C
D
don’t have to get on the big
computer
will be willing and ready to do
scientific work
can easily get on the big
computer.
25. What do we learn from the
passage about the first device that was called a
personal
computer?
A
B
It looked
very different from the PC we know today.
It
was as efficient as a big computer.
5
C
D
It relieved people of
a great deal of tedious work.
It was small,
light and easy to carry around.
Passage 3
To understand how Americans think about
things, it is necessary to understand “ the
point.”
Americans mention it often: “ Let’s
get right to the point,” they will say. “ My point
is…”
“ What’s the point of all this”
The
“point” is the idea or piece of information that
Americans suppose is, or should be, at the
center of people’s thinking, writings, and
spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed
to
“ make their points clear,” meaning that
they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea
or piece
of information they wish to express.
People from many other cultures have different
ideas about the point. Africans traditionally
tell stories that express the thoughts they
have in mind, rather than stating “ the point”
clearly.
Japanese traditionally speak
indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out
what the point is. Thus,
while an American
might say to a friend, “I don’t think that coat
goes very well with the rest of
your outfit,”
a Japanese might say, “Maybe this other coat would
look even better than the one you
have on.”
Americans value a person who “ gets right to the
point.” Japanese are likely to consider
such a
person insensitive if not rude.
The Chinese
and Japanese languages are characterized by
vagueness and ambiguity. The
precision and
directness Americans associate with “ the point”
cannot be achieved, at least not
with any
grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those
languages thus have to learn a new
way of
reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are
going to communicate satisfactorily with
Americans.
31 According to the passage,
Americans expect speakers and writers to_______
A be clear about their main ideas
B give
as much information as possible
C express
their personal views
D be honest about their
true feelings
32. Which of following peoples
will tell a story to express what they have in
mind?
A Americans B Africans C Japanese D
Chinese
33. In the sentence “ I don’t think
that coat goes very well with the rest of your
outfit”, the word
“outfit” most probably
means__________
A office B time C speech
D clothes
34. According to the passage,
Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be_____.
A indirect B straightforward C poorly-
dressed D curious
35. In order to communicate
with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese
need
to__________
A learn the
language well
6
B
C
D
change their way of thinking
be careful about their choice of words
explain their reasons clearly
Passage 4
The idea of respect comes from the concept
that everyone, including yourself, has self-worth,
and therefore should be treated with dignity.
Say, for example, that you’re having a discussion
with your boyfriend or girlfriend and your
opinions are different. While you may disagree
with
each other, each of you still has a right
to your own feelings. You can show each other
respect by
sticking to your own values or
beliefs while agreeing to disagree. Calling
someone names or
making fun of them because
they think, act, or look differently deprives them
of their dignity, and
is disrespectful. It is
important to treat others fairly and with respect,
just as you would want to be
treated yourself.
Can you think of times when someone has or
hasn’t shown you respect? How did it feel?
What could that person have done differently?
Each person in a relationship has a level of
responsibility. This means that if you’ve
committed yourself to something, it’s up to
you to carry it out and see it through. This can
include
anything from saying you’ll call
someone at a certain time and then calling that
person, to
deciding what you would do if you
or your girlfriend had to make an important
decision. What
does responsibility mean to
you? Have there been times when someone you know
committed to
something and then didn’t follow
through? How did that make you feel?
Whenever
you think about responsibility, it’s a good idea
to keep respect in the back of your
mind—and
vice versa. There are respectful ways of handling
responsibilities, and there are
disrespectful
ways. And no matter what happens, we must all
answer for our own actions. The best
relationships are developed when people
respect one another and take responsibility for
themselves and for their role in the
relationship. According to the writer, it is
important to respect
other people
because___________.
36. A. everybody needs to
keep his own dignity
B. everybody needs
other people’s support
C. no discussion is
possible if respect is neglected
D. no
agreement can be reached without respect
37.
Though people may have different opinions, they
can still pay respect to each other
_________.
A. by telling some jokes to each other
persuading other people to accept their own
opinions
C. by agreeing to accept each
other’s opinions later
allowing each other
to hold different beliefs
38. What kind of
responsibility is talked about in the passage?
A. General responsibilities concerning the
environment.
7
B.
Responsibilities concerning human relationships.
C. Social responsibility.
D. Family
responsibility.
39. The writer tries to
impress the importance of responsibility on the
readers by__________.
A. emphasizing the
appropriate use of the telephone
B. listing
a lot of examples of responsible people
C
.asking them about their personal experiences
D criticizing some people’s lack of
responsibility
40. We can conclude from the
passage that_________.
A. respect and
responsibility exist in all relationships
B. respect is connected with dignity and
responsibility
C. good relationships can
not be created and maintained unless we always
agree to disagree
D. young people tend to
forget their responsibilities most of the time

Part Ⅱ Reading
Comprehension (40% )
Directions: There are 4
reading passages in this part. Each passage is
followed by some questions
or unfinished
statements. For each of them the re 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 centre.
Passage 1
Clothes play a critical part in the
conclusions we reach by providing clues to who
people are,
who they are not, and who they
would like to be. They tell us a good deal about
the wearer's
background, personality, status,
mood, and social outlook.
Since clothes are
such an important source of social information, we
can use them to manipulate
people's impression
of us. Our appearance assumes particular
significance in the initial phases of
interaction that is likely to occur. An
elderly middle-class man or woman may be
alienated(疏远)
by a young adult who is dressed
in an unconventional manner, regardless of the
person's education,
background, or interests.
People tend to agree on what certain types
of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree
on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain
outfits(套装), including the number of boyfriends
they
likely have had and whether they smoke or
drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the
news on TV, are considered to be more
convincing, honest, and competent when they are
dressed
conservatively. And collage students
who view themselves as taking an active role in
their inter
personal relationships say they
are concerned about the costumes they must wear to
play these
roles successfully. Moreover, many
of us can relate instances in which the clothing
we wore
changed the way we felt about
ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used
clothing to
gain confidence when you
anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job
interview, or a court
appearance.
In
the workplace, men have long had well-defined
precedents and role models for achieving
success. It has been otherwise for women. A
good many women in the business world are
3
uncertain about the appropriate mixture
of an d attributes they should
convey by their
professional clothing. The variety of clothing
alternatives to women has also been
greater
than that avail able for men. Male administrators
tend to judge women more favorably for
managerial positions when the women display
less grooming(打扮)-shorter hair,
moderate use
of makeup, and plain tailored clothing. As one
male administrator confessed,
attractive woman
is definitely going to get a longer interview, but
she won't get a job.
21. According to the
passage, the way we dress __________.
A)
provides clues for people who are critical of us
B) indicates our likes and dislikes in
choosing a career
C) has a direct influence
on the way people regard us
D) is of
particular importance when we get on in age
22. From the third paragraph of the passage,
we can conclude that young adults t end to
believe that certain types of clothing can
__________.
A) change people's conservative
attitudes toward their lifestyle
B) help
young people make friends with the opposite sex
C) make them competitive in the job market
D) help them achieve success in their
interpersonal relationships
23. The word
A) early acts for men
to follow as examples
B) particular places
for men to occupy especially because of their
importance
C) things that men should agree
upon
D) men's beliefs that everything in the
world has already been decided
24. According
to the passage, many career women find themselves
in difficult situations
because __________.
A) the variety of professional clothing is
too wide for them to choose
B) women are
generally thought to be only good at being fashion
models
C) men are more favorably judged for
managerial positions

to what extent they should display their feminine
qualities
through clothing
25. What
is the passage mainly about?
A) Dressing
for effect. B) How to dress appropriately.
C) Managerial positions and clothing. D) Dressing
for the occasion
Passage 2
Who coined the
term personal computer? The Oxford English
Dictionary says Byte magazine
used it first,
in its May 1976 issue. But Yale Law School
librarian Fred Shapiro decided to do
some
digging on his own his own, with help from JSTOR,
an online electronic database for
4
academic journals. JSTOR’s arts and
sciences archive offers scans of 5 million pages
from 117
journals, some dating back 150 years.
Using character-recognition software, JSTOR
creates
searchable files for each document,
allowing full-text searches across 15 academic
fields.
While searching for the origin of
personal computer, Shapiro uncovered several
competing
claims. Stewart Brand, founder of
Whole Earth Catalog, says on his Web site that he
first referred
to a “personal computer” in a
1974 book; and GUI pioneer Alan Kay is said to
have used the term
in a paper published in
1972.
But a search on JSTOR’s general science
archive turned up what Shapiro says is the
earliest
recorded use of personal computer, in
the October 4, 1968, issue of Science. The issue
contains a
Hewlett-Packard advertisement for
its new HP 9100A. “The new Hewlett-Packard 9100A
personal
computer,” the advertisement says, is
“ready, willing and able… to relieve you of
waiting to get on
the big computer ” The
$$4,900device, a desktop scientific calculator
equipped with magnetic cards
doesn’t seem like
much of a computer nowadays. And at 40 pounds, it
wasn’t very personal, either.
But according to
Shapiro, it was the first device to be called a
personal computer.
21. The term “personal
computer” first appeared_______.
A
B
C
in Byte magazine
in a 1974 book.
in a Hewlett-Packard ad in Science
D in a
paper published by Alan Kay

23. Shapiro succeeded in his
search for the origin of the term personal
computer by_______.
24. With a HP9100A,
according to the Hewlett-Packard advertisement,
you ___________.
A can save a lot of money

25. What do we learn from the
passage about the first device that was called a
personal
computer?
A
B
It looked
very different from the PC we know today.
It
was as efficient as a big computer.
5
C
D
It relieved people of
a great deal of tedious work.
It was small,
light and easy to carry around.
Passage 3
To understand how Americans think about
things, it is necessary to understand “ the
point.”
Americans mention it often: “ Let’s
get right to the point,” they will say. “ My point
is…”
“ What’s the point of all this”
The
“point” is the idea or piece of information that
Americans suppose is, or should be, at the
center of people’s thinking, writings, and
spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed
to
“ make their points clear,” meaning that
they are supposed to say or write clearly the idea
or piece
of information they wish to express.
People from many other cultures have different
ideas about the point. Africans traditionally
tell stories that express the thoughts they
have in mind, rather than stating “ the point”
clearly.
Japanese traditionally speak
indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out
what the point is. Thus,
while an American
might say to a friend, “I don’t think that coat
goes very well with the rest of
your outfit,”
a Japanese might say, “Maybe this other coat would
look even better than the one you
have on.”
Americans value a person who “ gets right to the
point.” Japanese are likely to consider
such a
person insensitive if not rude.
The Chinese
and Japanese languages are characterized by
vagueness and ambiguity. The
precision and
directness Americans associate with “ the point”
cannot be achieved, at least not
with any
grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those
languages thus have to learn a new
way of
reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are
going to communicate satisfactorily with
Americans.
31 According to the passage,
Americans expect speakers and writers to_______
A be clear about their main ideas
B give
as much information as possible
C express
their personal views
D be honest about their
true feelings
32. Which of following peoples
will tell a story to express what they have in
mind?
A Americans B Africans C Japanese D
Chinese
33. In the sentence “ I don’t think
that coat goes very well with the rest of your
outfit”, the word
“outfit” most probably
means__________
A office B time C speech
D clothes
34. According to the passage,
Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be_____.
A indirect B straightforward C poorly-
dressed D curious
35. In order to communicate
with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese
need
to__________
A learn the
language well
6
B
C
D
change their way of thinking
be careful about their choice of words
explain their reasons clearly
Passage 4
The idea of respect comes from the concept
that everyone, including yourself, has self-worth,
and therefore should be treated with dignity.
Say, for example, that you’re having a discussion
with your boyfriend or girlfriend and your
opinions are different. While you may disagree
with
each other, each of you still has a right
to your own feelings. You can show each other
respect by
sticking to your own values or
beliefs while agreeing to disagree. Calling
someone names or
making fun of them because
they think, act, or look differently deprives them
of their dignity, and
is disrespectful. It is
important to treat others fairly and with respect,
just as you would want to be
treated yourself.
Can you think of times when someone has or
hasn’t shown you respect? How did it feel?
What could that person have done differently?
Each person in a relationship has a level of
responsibility. This means that if you’ve
committed yourself to something, it’s up to
you to carry it out and see it through. This can
include
anything from saying you’ll call
someone at a certain time and then calling that
person, to
deciding what you would do if you
or your girlfriend had to make an important
decision. What
does responsibility mean to
you? Have there been times when someone you know
committed to
something and then didn’t follow
through? How did that make you feel?
Whenever
you think about responsibility, it’s a good idea
to keep respect in the back of your
mind—and
vice versa. There are respectful ways of handling
responsibilities, and there are
disrespectful
ways. And no matter what happens, we must all
answer for our own actions. The best
relationships are developed when people
respect one another and take responsibility for
themselves and for their role in the
relationship. According to the writer, it is
important to respect
other people
because___________.
36. A. everybody needs to
keep his own dignity
B. everybody needs
other people’s support
C. no discussion is
possible if respect is neglected
D. no
agreement can be reached without respect
37.
Though people may have different opinions, they
can still pay respect to each other
_________.
A. by telling some jokes to each other
persuading other people to accept their own
opinions
C. by agreeing to accept each
other’s opinions later
allowing each other
to hold different beliefs
38. What kind of
responsibility is talked about in the passage?
A. General responsibilities concerning the
environment.
7
B.
Responsibilities concerning human relationships.
C. Social responsibility.
D. Family
responsibility.

readers by__________.
A. emphasizing the
appropriate use of the telephone
B. listing
a lot of examples of responsible people
C
.asking them about their personal experiences
D criticizing some people’s lack of
responsibility
40. We can conclude from the
passage that_________.
A. respect and
responsibility exist in all relationships
B. respect is connected with dignity and
responsibility
C. good relationships can
not be created and maintained unless we always
agree to disagree
D. young people tend to
forget their responsibilities most of the time
