II. Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage 1
In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant
(interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions
might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview.
A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining certain types of information prior to
（在……之前）the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that
job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state his reasons for
wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as
possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items
as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plans for
expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most major corporations is available in
reference books and periodicals（期刊）.
After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The
interviewer’s first impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews,
appropriate dress for man is a conservative dark colored suit with a long sleeve, white or light blue
shirt and a conservative tie. For women a conservative, tailored suit or dress is appropriate. Both men
and women should have neat, conservative length hair.
Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many personnel directors（人事主管）
form initial（最初的）impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate,
who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the personnel manager
considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for this
particular position.

31. For whom is the passage most likely written?
A. An employee.
B. An employer.

D. all of the above
33. Before the interview, the applicant should obtain some information about __________.
A. most major corporations
B. reference books and periodicals
C. the company he wants to work for
D. business and philosophy
34. What the applicant wears, as the author suggests, can make him look __________.

C. personal D. conservative

Passage 2
Believe it or not, optical illusion（错觉）can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent
using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called chevrons（人字形）, painted on the roads make
drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is
planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other
patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway
crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according
to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where
speed-related hazards are the greatest — curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal（平行的）bars painted across roads can initially cut
the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as
drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they
really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in
highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

36. The passage mainly discusses _________.

3

A. a new way of highway speed control
B. a new pattern for painting highways
C. a new approach to training drivers
D. a new type of optical illusion
37. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that _________.
A. they should avoid speed- related hazards
B. they are driving in the wrong lane
C. they should slow down their speed
D. they are approaching the speed limit
38. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former _________.
A. can keep drivers awake
B. can cut road accidents in half
C. will have a longer effect on drivers
D. will look more attractive
39. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to _________.
A. try out the Japanese method in certain areas
B. change the road signs across the country
C. replace straight, horizontal bars with chevrons
D. repeat the Japanese road patterns
40. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?
A. They are falling out of use in the United States.
B. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.
C. They are applicable only on broad roads.
D. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.
Passage 3
We live in an era when modern technology has relieved us of almost every task our grandparents
once performed — from chopping（砍）wood to carrying water. Technology is not the only reason for
this, however: attitudes to children and work have changed dramatically（显著地） in the last hundred
years, and to many children physical work is a wholly foreign idea. In many homes, parents simply
do not expect their children to work, even to make their own beds, wash the dishes, or mow the lawn.
A friend recently wrote to me:
I’m not sure my generation ever really grew up. We don’t know what it is to make sacrifices
（做出牺牲）, to give unselfishly in ways that won’t ever be recognized. Many of us are still seeking
the perfect partner, the perfect car, or some other kind of elusive（难以捉摸的） happiness.
While no one in his right mind could desire a return to the days of child labor, sometimes it
seems that the pendulum（钟摆）has swung too far the other way, that we have forgotten the value
of work as an important tool of education. Physical work will not harm children; in fact, it usually
does wonders for them. When you give a child a chore to do, you develop his or her ability to follow
instructions. In helping to see it through to completion, you help the child build initiative and
perseverance（毅力）. Afterwards, you can praise him or her and instill（灌输）pride in a job well done.
Where I grew up, hard physical work was part of daily life. I used to complain about the
never-ending work, but my parents had no pity: “Good, hard work makes a man,” they always said.
On looking back, I am grateful（感激的） for every chore I did. I see now how work taught me
self-discipline（自律）and concentration and prepared me for the responsibilities of fatherhood.

Learning to work hard means far more than learning to sweat: it means building character. Our
children need to grow up loving work, not avoiding it. Let us teach them to find inspiration in the face
of challenges and difficulties, not frustration. And let us instill in them the desire to carry out
everything they do with joy.

41. By saying “to many children physical work is a wholly foreign idea” (Line4, Para.1), the author
means __________.
A. physical work is often assigned to children
B. many children do not like physical work at all
C. physical work is too hard for many children
D. many children are not familiar with physical work
42. What does the author’s friend mean by saying “I’m not sure my generation ever really grew up”
(Line1, Para.2)?
A. The younger generation wants everything perfect.
B. The younger generation does not know what happiness is.
C. The younger generation grew up quite selfish.
D. The younger generation is idealistic about life.
43. What does the author mean by saying “the pendulum has swung too far the other way” (Line2,
Para.3)?
A. Too many children today find physical work boring.
B. Physical work has gained importance as a tool of education.
C. Children do too little physical work nowadays.
D. Too little physical work is now needed in our daily lives.
44. How did the author’s parents react to his complaints about never-ending work?
A. They disciplined him.
B. They showed sympathy for him.
C. They said it could not be helped.
D. They took no pity on him.
45. What does the author think of children doing physical work?
A. It helps children build up their character.
B. It is becoming unnecessary as technology develops.
C. It is too great a challenge for children growing up today.
D. It means nothing but sweat and brings back memories of child labor.
