Part 2 Reading Comprehension
(Multiple
Choice)
(每小题： 分)
Directions: Read the following passages
carefully and
choose the best answer from the
four choices marked A, B,
C and D.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following
passage.
Is your job doing harm to your
health? If you are like a lot of
American
workers today, you experience a significant amount
of
stress in work. Stress doesn't just make
you unhappy at work. It can
affect your health. Doctors say people under
stress have higher
blood pressure, even when
they are away from work. And they are
at a
higher risk for death from any cause than those
who are more
relaxed.
How do you know if
your job could be a risk to your health? Some
danger signs include difficulty getting to
sleep or difficulty waking
up in the morning,
forgetfulness, aches and pains for no apparent
reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to
eat poorly, loss of interest
in activities,
etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many
of
these symptoms, but if you have noticed
several of them, and you
have experienced them
for months, you may need to do something.
If
you notice these signs in yourself or your beloved
one, check with
your doctor to eliminate other
possibilities. If the cause does appear
to be
stress, you should try to make time for yourself
away from
work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble
bath, listening to music, and
shutting out the
world for a while.
1. According to the
passage, ____________.
A. many American
workers are under stress lately
B. almost
all people know how to get rid of stress
C. most people go to doctors for help with
stress
D. it is sure that our work is
doing harm to our health
2. How does
stress at work affect your life?
A. It makes
you unhappy at work.
B. It always affects
your health.
C. It makes you worry all
the time.
D. It keeps you from working
well.
3. Which of the following is
mentioned as a sign that your job is
unhealthy?
A. Sudden
aches and pains.
B. Frequent bad days.
C. Trouble remembering.
D. Loss
of time to relax.
4. When should you
do something about your problems?
A. When
you've been told by others that you should do
something.
B. When you've noticed several

work.

doctor and try to relax more.

to another less stressful job.

hobby like playing music.
Questions 6 to
10 are based on the following passage.
Why is
it that the more connected we get, the more
disconnected I
feel? Every advance in
communications technology is a step back
from
the closeness of human interaction. With email and
instant
messaging over the Internet, we can
now communicate without
seeing or talking to
one another. With voice mail, you can conduct
entire conversations without ever reaching
anyone. If my mom has
a question, I just leave
the answer on her machine.
As almost every
imaginable contact between human beings
becomes automatic by machine, the alienation
quotient goes up.
You can't even call a person
to get the phone number of another
person
anywhere. Phone assistance is almost always fully
automatic
by machine. Pumping
gas at the station? Why say good morning to
the worker when you can use your credit card
at the pump and save
yourself the bother of
human contact? Placing money at the bank?
Why
talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood
when you
can just put your credit card into
the ATM?
Pretty soon you won't have the hard
task of making eye contact at
the grocery
store. Some grocery chains are using a self-
scanner so
you can check yourself out,
avoiding those annoying clerks who look
at you
and ask how you are doing.
6. The effect
of increased communication technology is
____________.
A. the retreat of human
closeness
B. the lack of care for
neighbors
C. the saving of more free time
D. the advance of our contacts
7. If his mom has a question, he will
____________.
A. find new ways to reach her
B. send her an email message
C.
try to get her a voice machine
D. answer
through voice mail

the context, the word
Paragraph 2) means
___________.
A. relationship
B.
closeness
C. strangeness
D. stress
9. ATMs in
banks have changed life by __________.
A.
making it more difficult to want human contact
B. making it faster to receive money from
banks
C. making it easier to obtain bank
credit cards
D. making it unnecessary to
talk with bank clerks
10. The
writer's attitude toward advances in
communications
technology may be described as
_______________.
A. unconcerned
B.
critical
C. positive
D.
uninterested
Questions 11 to 15 are based
on the following passage.
In 1848, gold was
discovered in California; from all over the
nation,
thousands of young men set out for
California. People called this the
time of the
Gold Rush.
A gold miner came into a city
looking for a pair of pants. He wanted
pants
strong enough to stand up to the rough work of
mining. He
met a young man named Levi, who
sold heavy cloth for tents and
wagon tops.
They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their
pants.
Then Levi went into the business of
making work pants. He asked
his brothers to
send him some strong blue cotton cloth called
denim
(斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth,
Levi started making the
kind of pants we call
blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the
same way as other pants.
In 1860, a miner
said that the pockets weren't strong enough to
hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets
kept falling off the
pants. The cloth was all
right. It was the thread that wasn't strong
enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the
pockets onto the
pants.
Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked
their pants to fit
tightly. But the rivets
marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered
the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was
happy.

about __________________.
A. how people got
blue jeans
B. the Gold Rush in California

time

Questions 16 to 20 are based
on the following passage.
Rote-learning
(死记硬背), spoon-fed education, produces a brand of
kids that don't know what to do when entering
university. They are
disciplined into
following, not leading. Yet the future depends on
creativity and imagination. The world needs
creators, makers and
shakers of the new
centuries, not the followers of the past
centuries. As the numbers increase at college
and university level,
more students from the
lower ends are likely to be thrown into a
process designed to choose only learners that
have proved excellent
in listening to
teachers.
There are three ways to learn:
looking, listening and doing.
Students and
teachers today are a product of learning by
listening.
The computer may not be liked by
traditional teachers, who use
rote-learning to
put information, which will be out of date in a
few
years, into the heads of the students.
With computer learning you
learn by looking,
listening and doing; you use three methods of
learning, not just one. Therefore, you can
learn faster.
The changing speed of
information is frightening. What we learn
now
will be out of date in the near future. So what
students are
learning now at school may be
replaced by the time they finish
university.
We have to learn by choice what to forget. Rote-
learning
for exams is one
thing, but wouldn't it be better to learn how to
learn? The students at university today could
possibly be doing a job
in the not too distant
future which has not yet been invented.
16. According to the author, the future
doesn't need
____________.
A. creativity
B. imagination
C. creators
D. followers
17. In the author's
view, how can students learn well?
A.
Carefully listen to the teacher in class.
B. Take down every single word said by the
teacher.
C. Learn all the notes by heart.
D. Combine listening with looking and
doing.
18. What does the author mean
by
information is frightening
A. We don't
have enough time to adjust ourselves to the speed
of information.
B. What we learned
today may not be useful tomorrow.
C. The
pace of life is too fast.
D. The world is
changing every minute.
19. What does
the last sentence of the passage tell us?
A.
Rote-learning is completely harmful.
B. Students may have to do jobs
which are not yet in
existence.
C.
It's better to learn how to learn than learn what
to forget.
D. Students must imagine the
future.
20. The author's attitude
towards rote-learning is _________.
A.
approving
B. disapproving
C.
confident
D. opposite to what the words
say
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the
following passage.
After having lived for over
twenty years in the same district, Albert
Hall
was forced to move to a new neighborhood. He
surprised his
landlord by telling him that he
was leaving because he could not
afford to buy
any more chocolate.
It all began a year ago
when Albert Hall returned home one evening
and
found a large dog in front of his gate. He was
very fond of
animals and as he happened to
have a small piece of chocolate in
his pocket,
he gave it to the dog. The next day, the dog was
there
again. It held up its paws (爪子) and
received another piece of
chocolate as a
reward. Albert called his new friend
never
found out the dog's real name, nor who his owner
was.
However, Bingo appeared regularly every
afternoon and it was quite
clear that he liked
chocolate more than bones. He soon grew
dissatisfied with small pieces of chocolate
and demanded a large
piece a day. If at any
time Albert couldn't give it, Bingo got very
angry and refused to let him open the gate.
Albert was now at
Bingo's mercy and had to
spent such a large part of his money to keep

Questions 26 to 30 are based on
the following passage.
Tonga is made up of
about 150 islands located in the South Pacific
Ocean. There are three main groups of
islands—Vava'u in the north,
Ha'apai in the
middle, and Tongatapu in the south. Most of the
eastern islands are made up of dead animal
remains. The higher
islands in the west were
formed by a process of mountain building.
Large areas on these islands are too
mountainous to be used for
crops. Some of the
mountains are still active—which means that
they can be dangerous. Many of the smaller
islands do not have any
people on them. There
are only two large towns—Nukualofa, the
capital, and Neiafu. These towns are Tonga's
chief ports.
Tonga has few natural resources.
The most important resources are
a pleasant
sunny climate and natural beauty, which attract
growing
numbers of tourists. Because of its
location, Tonga is sometimes hit
by storms.
One such storm, in 1982, caused high winds and
huge
waves that destroyed many homes,
including almost all of the
buildings in
Nuku'alofa.
Tonga was a British protected
state from 1900 until 1970, when it
became
fully free from foreign rule again. Britain was
responsible
for Tonga's foreign affairs, but
the Tongan nobles still controlled
local
matters. For most of this period, Tonga was ruled
by Queen
Salote Tupou III. During the time of
her leadership, education and
health care were
expanded and women were given the right to help
choose the leaders. The Tongan government is a
mixture of
Polynesian tradition and Western
methods. The government, in
part, is made up
of a seven-member body appointed by the king,
seven nobles chosen by the nobles, and seven
persons chosen by all
adult citizens.
Tonga's small size, lack of resources, and
growing population have
created problems. But
the country is well governed, and sound
plans
for the future are being made.
26. According to the passage, Tonga is
________.
A. a small country to the North of
the United States
B. a country with very
rich natural resources
C. is a country
made up of more than a hundred small islands
D. is a country whose government depends
totally on Britain
27. Which of the
following statements about Tonga is NOT true?
A. Tonga attracts large numbers of tourists
every year.
B. Tonga is subject to
natural disasters because of it location.
C. The islands in Tonga are quite fit for
growing crops.
D. Tonga doesn't have many
large cities.
28. What is true about
Tonga's political status?
A. Tonga's foreign
affairs are still controlled by the British.
B. Tonga became free from the UK over thirty
years ago.
C. Tonga is not governed well
because women have power.
D. Tongan women
have very high social status.
29.
Which of the following is the problem that Tonga
is facing
now?
A. The lack of natural
resources and its small size.
B. Hunger
of its people because of crop problems.
C. Failure of health care and education
systems.
D. Social
problems and disorders since 1970.
30. This passage is most probably taken from
_________.
A. a textbook on different places
in the world
B. a book on human
civilization
C. a book on the world
economy
D. a book on environmental
protection

Part 2 Reading Comprehension
(Multiple
Choice)
(每小题： 分)
Directions: Read the following passages
carefully and
choose the best answer from the
four choices marked A, B,
C and D.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following
passage.
Is your job doing harm to your
health? If you are like a lot of
American
workers today, you experience a significant amount
of
stress in work. Stress doesn't just make
you unhappy at work. It can
affect your health. Doctors say people under
stress have higher
blood pressure, even when
they are away from work. And they are
at a
higher risk for death from any cause than those
who are more
relaxed.
How do you know if
your job could be a risk to your health? Some
danger signs include difficulty getting to
sleep or difficulty waking
up in the morning,
forgetfulness, aches and pains for no apparent
reason, a desire to eat less or tendency to
eat poorly, loss of interest
in activities,
etc. Everyone has bad days in which they feel many
of
these symptoms, but if you have noticed
several of them, and you
have experienced them
for months, you may need to do something.
If
you notice these signs in yourself or your beloved
one, check with
your doctor to eliminate other
possibilities. If the cause does appear
to be
stress, you should try to make time for yourself
away from
work. Try relaxing in a warm bubble
bath, listening to music, and
shutting out the
world for a while.
1. According to the
passage, ____________.
A. many American
workers are under stress lately

the time.

well.
3. Which of the following is
mentioned as a sign that your job is
unhealthy?
A. Sudden
aches and pains.

of time to relax.

Questions 6 to
10 are based on the following passage.
Why is
it that the more connected we get, the more
disconnected I
feel? Every advance in
communications technology is a step back
from
the closeness of human interaction. With email and
instant
messaging over the Internet, we can
now communicate without
seeing or talking to
one another. With voice mail, you can conduct
entire conversations without ever reaching
anyone. If my mom has
a question, I just leave
the answer on her machine.
As almost every
imaginable contact between human beings
becomes automatic by machine, the alienation
quotient goes up.
You can't even call a person
to get the phone number of another
person
anywhere. Phone assistance is almost always fully
automatic
by machine. Pumping
gas at the station? Why say good morning to
the worker when you can use your credit card
at the pump and save
yourself the bother of
human contact? Placing money at the bank?
Why
talk to a clerk who might live in the neighborhood
when you
can just put your credit card into
the ATM?
Pretty soon you won't have the hard
task of making eye contact at
the grocery
store. Some grocery chains are using a self-
scanner so
you can check yourself out,
avoiding those annoying clerks who look
at you
and ask how you are doing.
6. The effect
of increased communication technology is
____________.
A. the retreat of human
closeness
B. the lack of care for
neighbors
C. the saving of more free time
D. the advance of our contacts
7. If his mom has a question, he will
____________.
A. find new ways to reach her
B. send her an email message
C.
try to get her a voice machine
D. answer
through voice mail

closeness

D. stress
9. ATMs in

A.
making it more difficult to want human contact
B. making it faster to receive money from
banks
C. making it easier to obtain bank
credit cards
D. making it unnecessary to
talk with bank clerks
10. The

communications
technology may be described as
_______________.
A. unconcerned
B.
critical
C. positive
D.
uninterested
Questions 11 to 15 are based
on the following passage.
In 1848, gold was
discovered in California; from all over the
nation,
thousands of young men set out for
California. People called this the
time of the
Gold Rush.
A gold miner came into a city
looking for a pair of pants. He wanted
pants
strong enough to stand up to the rough work of
mining. He
met a young man named Levi, who
sold heavy cloth for tents and
wagon tops.
They asked a tailor to use heavy cloth for their
pants.
Then Levi went into the business of
making work pants. He asked
his brothers to
send him some strong blue cotton cloth called
denim
(斜纹粗棉布). With this blue denim cloth,
Levi started making the
kind of pants we call
blue jeans today. They were sewed up in the
same way as other pants.
In 1860, a miner
said that the pockets weren't strong enough to
hold the pieces of gold he found. The pockets
kept falling off the
pants. The cloth was all
right. It was the thread that wasn't strong
enough. So Levi used rivets (铆钉) to attach the
pockets onto the
pants.
Cowboys needed tough pants, too. They liked
their pants to fit
tightly. But the rivets
marked the cowboys' saddles. So Levi covered
the rivets with cloth. Then everybody was
happy.
11. This article as a whole is
about __________________.
A. how people got
blue jeans
B. the Gold Rush in California
C. How blue jeans are made
D.
The kind of pants cowboys' wear
12.
While not stated in the article, you can tell that
__________________.
A. everybody who went
to California got a lot of gold
B. Levi
found riches in the gold fields
C. Levi
sold more jeans to cowboys than to gold miners
D. Levi made more money than many gold
miners
13. The word
this
in
the last sentence of the first paragraph refers
to ___________.

Questions 16 to 20 are based
on the following passage.
Rote-learning
(死记硬背), spoon-fed education, produces a brand of
kids that don't know what to do when entering
university. They are
disciplined into
following, not leading. Yet the future depends on
creativity and imagination. The world needs
creators, makers and
shakers of the new
centuries, not the followers of the past
centuries. As the numbers increase at college
and university level,
more students from the
lower ends are likely to be thrown into a
process designed to choose only learners that
have proved excellent
in listening to
teachers.
There are three ways to learn:
looking, listening and doing.
Students and
teachers today are a product of learning by
listening.
The computer may not be liked by
traditional teachers, who use
rote-learning to
put information, which will be out of date in a
few
years, into the heads of the students.
With computer learning you
learn by looking,
listening and doing; you use three methods of
learning, not just one. Therefore, you can
learn faster.
The changing speed of
information is frightening. What we learn
now
will be out of date in the near future. So what
students are
learning now at school may be
replaced by the time they finish
university.
We have to learn by choice what to forget. Rote-
learning
for exams is one
thing, but wouldn't it be better to learn how to
learn? The students at university today could
possibly be doing a job
in the not too distant
future which has not yet been invented.
16. According to the author, the future
doesn't need

doing.
18. What does the author mean
by
information is frightening
A. We don't
have enough time to adjust ourselves to the speed
of information.
B. What we learned
today may not be useful tomorrow.
C. The
pace of life is too fast.
D. The world is
changing every minute.
19. What does
the last sentence of the passage tell us?
A.
Rote-learning is completely harmful.
B. Students may have to do jobs
which are not yet in
existence.

It's better to learn how to learn than learn what
to forget.

future.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on
the following passage.
Tonga is made up of
about 150 islands located in the South Pacific
Ocean. There are three main groups of
islands—Vava'u in the north,
Ha'apai in the
middle, and Tongatapu in the south. Most of the
eastern islands are made up of dead animal
remains. The higher
islands in the west were
formed by a process of mountain building.
Large areas on these islands are too
mountainous to be used for
crops. Some of the
mountains are still active—which means that
they can be dangerous. Many of the smaller
islands do not have any
people on them. There
are only two large towns—Nukualofa, the
capital, and Neiafu. These towns are Tonga's
chief ports.
Tonga has few natural resources.
The most important resources are
a pleasant
sunny climate and natural beauty, which attract
growing
numbers of tourists. Because of its
location, Tonga is sometimes hit
by storms.
One such storm, in 1982, caused high winds and
huge
waves that destroyed many homes,
including almost all of the
buildings in
Nuku'alofa.
Tonga was a British protected
state from 1900 until 1970, when it
became
fully free from foreign rule again. Britain was
responsible
for Tonga's foreign affairs, but
the Tongan nobles still controlled
local
matters. For most of this period, Tonga was ruled
by Queen
Salote Tupou III. During the time of
her leadership, education and
health care were
expanded and women were given the right to help
choose the leaders. The Tongan government is a
mixture of
Polynesian tradition and Western
methods. The government, in
part, is made up
of a seven-member body appointed by the king,
seven nobles chosen by the nobles, and seven
persons chosen by all
adult citizens.
Tonga's small size, lack of resources, and
growing population have
created problems. But
the country is well governed, and sound
plans
for the future are being made.
