Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)

Section A
Directions: There are 3 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)
and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on
the Answer Sheet.(30%)

Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
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 college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their
interpersonal 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 j
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 uncertain about the appropriate mixture of
convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been
greater than that available 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 make-up, 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.
11. 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
12. From the third paragraph of the passage, we can conclude that young adults tend to believe that
certain types of clothing can ____.
A) change people's conservative attitudes towards their lifestyles
B) help young people to make friends with the opposite sex

C) make them competitive in the job market
D) help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships
13. 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
14. According to the passage, many career women find themselves in difficult situations
because_________.
A) the variety of the 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
15. 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 Two
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Sea horses are unusual parents. The female sea horses lay the eggs, but unlike other creatures,
it's the males that give birth to the young.
Male sea horses have a fold of skin on their bellies that forms pocket, called a brood pouch.
During the breeding season, the sea horse's pouch swells to receive eggs. A female sea horse lays
up to 200 eggs at a time in the pouch. Then she swims off, leaving her male partner to care for the
developing eggs and give birth to young sea horses. The female will return everyday to check on
her mate and the eggs, but she doesn't stay long, nor does she take part in the birth.
It takes from two to six weeks for the eggs in the male's pouch to develop. During this time
the male avoids open water and hides in sea grass. His big pouch makes it difficult for him to
swim,, so the male often uses his tail to grasp a piece of sea grass. Firmly gripping the grass, he
will stay perfectly still for hours or even days. The male sea horse will change his color to blend
with his surroundings and avoid being seen by predators who will try to eat him or poke holes in
his pouch to get the eggs.
The eggs hatch inside the male's pouch. When the babies begin moving around, the male sea
horse knows it's time for them to be born. He grabs a sea grass stem with his tail and begins
rocking, bending, and stretching his body so that the rest of the babies can be born. Sometimes he
has to press his pouch against a rock or some stiff seaweed to force the young out.
Sea horse babies are born in groups of five or more. Sometimes it takes two days for the
father sea horse to give birth to all his young. He is very tired when it's over.
Soon after giving birth to one brood, the male will approach his mate and show her his
empty pouch. This tells her he is ready to receive eggs again.
16. What part does the female sea horse play in having babies?
A). Receiving eggs. B). Laying eggs.

C). Hatching eggs. D). Protecting eggs.
17. What can be learned from the passage about giving birth to baby sea horses?
A). It is dangerous for the female. B). It happens once a year.
C). It is hard work for the male. D). It occurs in the deep sea.
18. To protect himself and his eggs, the male sea horse does all the following EXCEPT
A). changing his color B). gripping a piece of grass
C). staying motionless D). enlarging his pouch
19. The author suggests that when sea horse babies are ready to be born
A). the male sea horse seems very happy
B). it is difficult for them to come out
C). the female sea horse joins the male
D). they need larger space in the pouch
20. Which fact does the author want the reader to remember most?
A). The male sea horse gives birth to the young.
B). The female sea horse lays up to 200 eggs at a time.
C). Baby sea horses are born in groups of five or more.
D). The female will return every day to check on the eggs.
Passage Three
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

on family life, they are thinking of
father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus,
every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the
tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage
means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. The man's first duty will then be to his
wife, and the wife's to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and
she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs
alone. Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles,
have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times
marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl's parents, that is, it was the parents'
duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful
encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to many her. Until that time, the girl
was protected and maintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her
could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very dif-
ferent today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially
independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and
she gets no dowry.
21. What does the author mean by
A) Different families have different ways of life.
B) Different definitions could be given to the word.
C) Different nations have different families.
D) Different times produce different families. .
22. For an English family, the husband's duty is ______.

A) supporting the family while the wife is financial
B) defending the family while the wife is running the home
C) financial while the wife is running the home
D) independent while the wife is dependent
23. Everything is decided in a family ______.
A) by the couple B) with the help of their parents
C) by brothers and sisters D) with the help of aunts and uncles
24. What is true concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?
A) It is the best book on marriage.
B) It is a handbook of marriage.
C) It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.
D) It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.
25. With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former- time girls in
_______.
A) the right marry B) more parental support
C) choosing husbands D) social position
Section B

Directions: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements.
Read the passage carefully, then write your answers on the Answer Sheet.(10%)
It is interesting to reflect how much we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair
and patched blue jeans? A student, we say to ourselves instantly, and not living at home either, or
he wouldn’t be going about with those holes in his sweater. A graceful lady in a close-fitting dress,
carefully cut nails and earrings? Must be a foreigner, we think, English women of that age don’t
dress so smartly, and she probably has money, too, those shoes weren’t bought in a chain store.
And that man walking along the pavement over there? Well-tailored suit, has just at the right
angle—a businessman, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, it’s raining, isn’t
it? Only an Englishman would carry his treasured umbrella, still perfectly rolled, in the rain.
I once read of a journalist who went into an extremely expensive department store dressed
in her shabby clothes. She was eyed with suspicion as she examined the goods on display. When
she finally decided on a small purchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with
her and could she pay by cheque. The assistant politely told her that cheques were not accepted for
goods of 2 or under. The next day she went back, dressed to kill, smelling of expensive perfume.
She selected an even cheaper article, told the same store and her cheque was accepted without
question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes. I wonder if Stone Age Man
selected his woman by the quality of the bread skin she was wearing.
26. Why do we suppose that the “student” in jeans is not living at home?
27. Why does the graceful lady appear to be rich?
28. The writer suggests the Englishmen____________.
29. When the journalist was not dressed in smart clothes, the shop assistant ________________.
30 The second time the journalist visited the store, the thing she bought cost _____________.

In every cultivated language, there are two great classes of words which, taken together,
comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words 31 which we become acquainted

multitude of words which are comparatively 41 used in ordinary conversation. Their
meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little 42 to use them at home or
in the market-place. Our 43 acquaintance with them comes not from our mother’s 44 or
from the talk of our school-mates, 45 from books that we read, lectures that we
46 ,or the more 47 conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some
particular 48 in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual 49 of everyday life.
