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 in Byte magazine
B in a 1974 book.
C in a Hewlett-Packard ad in Science
D in a paper published by Alan Kay
22. What is JSTOR?
A It is a research organization.
B It is an online database.
C It is a kind of computer software.
D It is an academic journal.
23. Shapiro succeeded in his search for the origin of the term personal computer by_______.
A looking into the Oxford English Dictionary
B digging into magazines that are more than 150 years old
C focusing on academic journals such as Science
D scanning JSTOR’s general science archive on line
24. With a HP9100A, according to the Hewlett-Packard advertisement, you ___________.
A can save a lot of money
B don’t have to get on the big computer
C will be willing and ready to do scientific work
D 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 It looked very different from the PC we know today.
B It was as efficient as a big computer.

5

C It relieved people of a great deal of tedious work.
D 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 change their way of thinking
C be careful about their choice of words
D 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
