Part I: Reading Comprehension
40%
Directions: Read the following passages
carefully and then select the best answer
from
the four choices given to answer the questions or
to complete the statements
that follow each
passage. Write your answer on your Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Psychologists
agree that I.Q. contributes only about 20 percent
of the factors
that determine success. A full
80 percent comes from other factors，including what
I
call emotional intelligence. Following are
two of the major qualities that make up
emotional intelligence，and how they can be
developed：
1. Self-awareness. The ability to
recognize a feeling as it happens is the
keystone of emotional intelligence. People
with greater certainty about their
emotions
are better pilots of their lives.
Developing
self-awareness requires tuning in to what
neurologist Antonio
Damasio calls “gut
feelings”。Gut feelings can occur without a person
being
consciously aware of them. For
example，when people who fear snakes are shown a
picture of a snake，sensors on their skin will
detect sweat，a sign of anxiety，even
though the
people say they do not feel fear. The sweat shows
up even when a
picture is presented so rapidly
that the subject has no conscious awareness of
seeing
it.
Through deliberate effort we
can become more aware of our gut feelings. Take
someone who is annoyed by a rude encounter for
hours after it occurred. He may be
unaware of
his irritability and surprised when someone calls
attention to it. But if he
evaluates his
feelings, he can change them.
Emotional
self-awareness is the building block of the next
fundamental of
emotional intelligence：being
able to shake off a bad mood.
2. Mood
Management. Bad as well as good moods spice life
and build
character. The key is balance. We
often have little control over when we are swept
by emotion. But we can have some say in how
long that emotion will last.
Psychologist
Dianne Tice asked more than 400 men and women
about their
strategies for escaping foul
moods. Her research，along with that of other
psychologists，provides valuable information on
how to change a bad mood.
Of all the moods
that people want to escape，rage seems to be the
hardest to
deal with. When someone in another
car cuts you off on the highway，your reflexive
though may be，That jerk！ He could have hit
me！I can't let him get away with that！
The more
you stew，the angrier you get. Such is the stuff of
hypertension and
reckless driving.
What
should you do to relieve rage？One myth is that
ventilating will make
you feel better. In
fact，researchers have found that's one of the
worst strategies. A
more effective technique
is “reframing”， which means consciously
reinterpreting a
situation in a more positive
light. In the case of the driver who cuts you
off，you
might tell yourself： Maybe he had some
emergency. This is one of the most potent
ways, Tice found，to put anger to rest.
Going off alone to cool down is also an effective
way to refuse anger,
especially if you can't
think clearly. Tice found that a large proportion
of men cool
down by going for a drive—a
finding that inspired her to drive more
defensively. A
safer alternative is exercise,
such as taking a long walk. Whatever you do，don't
waste the time pursuing your train of angry
thoughts. Your aim should be to distract
yourself.
The techniques of reframing
and distraction can alleviate depression and
anxiety as well as anger. Add to them such
relaxation techniques as deep breathing
and
meditation and you have an arsenal of weapons
against bad moods.

A. They are feelings one is born with.
B. They are feelings one may be unaware of.
C. They are feelings of fear and anxiety.
D. They are feelings felt by sensible people.
2. According to the author，the importance of
knowing one's gut feelings is that
A. one
can develop them.

C. one may get rid of them.
D. one
may control them.
3. The word “spice” in
paragraph Six is closest in meaning to
A.
add interest to
B. lengthen.
C.

D. bring into existence.
4. On mood control, the author seems to
suggest that we
A. can control the
occurrence of mood.
B. are often unaware
of what mood we are in.
C. can determine
the duration of mood.
D. lack strategies
for controlling moods.
5. The essence of
“reframing” is

situation.
B. to adopt a positive
attitude.
C. to protect oneself properly.
D. to avoid road accidents.
Passage Two
The case for college has
been accepted without question for more than a
generation. All high school graduates ought to
go, says conventional wisdom and
statistical
evidence, because college will help them earn more
money, become
But college has never been
able to work its magic for everyone. And now that
close to half our high school graduates are
attending, those who don't fit the pattern
are
becoming more numerous, and more obvious. College
graduates are selling
shoes and driving taxis;
college students interfere with each other's
experiments and
write false letters of
recommendation in the intense competition for
admission to
graduate school. Other find no
stimulation in their studies, and drop out—often
encouraged by college administrators.
Some observers say the fault is with the young
people themselves—they are
spoiled and they
are expecting too much. But that is a condemnation
of the students
as a whole, and doesn't
explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the
state of
the world, and they are partly right.
We have been told that young people have to go
to college because our economy can't absorb an
army of untrained
eighteen-year-olds. But
disappointed graduates are learning that it can no
longer
absorb an army of trained twenty-two-
year-olds, either.
Some adventuresome
educators and watchers have openly begun to
suggest
that college may not be the best, the
proper, the only place for every young person
after the completion of high school. We may
have been looking at all those surveys
and
statistics upside down, it seems, and through the
rosy glow of our own
remembered college
experiences. Perhaps college doesn't make people
intelligent,
ambitious, happy, liberal, or
quick to learn things—may it is just the other way
around, and intelligent, ambitious, happy,
liberal, quick-learning people are merely
the
ones who have been attracted to college in the
first place. And perhaps all those
successful
college graduates would have been successful
whether they had gone to
college or not. This
is heresy to those of us who have been brought up
to believe
that if a little schooling is good,
more has to be much better. But contrary evidence
is beginning to mount up.
6. According
to the author, ___.
A. people used to
question the value of college education.
B. people used to have full confidence in higher
education.

重庆大学研究生试卷（2011版） 第 4 页 共 8 页
C. all high school graduates went to
college.
D. very few high school graduates
chose to go to college.
7. In the 2nd
paragraph,
A. high school graduates who
aren't suitable for college education.
B.
college graduates who are selling shoes and
driving taxis.
C. college students who
aren't any better for their higher education.
D. high school graduates who failed to be admitted
to college.
8. The dropout rate of college
students seems to go up because___.
A.
young people are disappointed with the
conventional way of teaching at
college.
B. many people are required to join the
army.
C. young people have little
motivation in pursuing a higher education.
D. young people don't like the intense competition
for admission to graduate
school.
9. According to the passage, the problems of
college education partly originate
in the fact
that___.
A .society cannot provide enough
jobs for properly trained graduates.
B.
High school graduates do not fit the pattern of
college education.
C. Too many students
have to earn their own living.
D. College
administrators encourage students to drop out.
10. In this passage the author argues
that___.
A. college education is not enough
if one wants to be successful.
B. college
education benefits only the intelligent,
ambitious, and
quick-learning people.
C. intelligent people may learn quicker if they
don't go to college.
D. more and more evidence
shows college education may not be the best thing
for high school graduates.
Passage Three
A controversy erupted in the scientific
community in early 1998 over the use of
DNA
(deoxyribonucleic acid ) fingerprinting in
criminal investigations. DNA
fingerprinting
was introduced in 1987 as a method to identify
individuals based on a
pattern seen in their
DNA, the molecule of which genes are made. DNA is
present
in every cell of the body except red
blood cells. DNA fingerprinting has been used
successfully in various ways, such as to
determine paternity where it is not clear
who
the father of a particular child is. However, it
is in the area of criminal
investigations that
DNA fingerprinting has potentially powerful and
controversial
uses.
DNA fingerprinting
and other DNA analysis techniques have
revolutionized
criminal investigations by
giving investigators powerful new tools in the
attempt to
trove guilt, not just establish
innocence. When used in criminal investigations, a
DNA fingerprint pattern from a suspect is
compared with a DNA fingerprint pattern
obtained from such material as hairs or blood
found at the scene of a crime. A
match between
the two DNA samples can be used as evidence to
convict a suspect.
The controversy in 1998
stemmed form a report published in December 1991
by
population geneticists Richard C. Lewontin
of Harvard University in Cambridge,
Mass., and
Daniel L. Hartl called into question the methods
to calculate how likely
it is that a match
between two DNA fingerprints might occur by chance
alone. In
particular, they argued that the
current method cannot properly determine the
likelihood that two DNA samples will match
because they came from the same
individual
rather than simply from two different individuals
who are members of
the same ethnic group.
Lewontin and Hartl called for better surveys of
DNA
patterns methods are adequate.

重庆大学研究生试卷（2011版） 第 5 页 共 8 页
In response to their criticisms, population
geneticists Ranajit Chakraborty of
the
University of Texas in Dallas and Kenneth of Yale
University in New
Haven, Conn., argued
that enough data are already available to show
that the
methods currently being used are
adequate. In January 1998, however, the federal
Bureau of Investigation and laboratories that
conduct DNA tests announced that
they would
collect additional DNA samples form various ethnic
groups in an
attempt to resolve some of these
questions. And, in April, a National Academy of
Sciences called for strict standards and
system of accreditation for DNA testing
laboratories.
11. Before DNA
fingerprinting is used, suspects____.
A.
would have to leave their fingerprints for further
investigations
B. would have to submit
evidence for their innocence
C. could
easily escape conviction of guilt
D. cold
be convicted of guilt as well
12. DNA
fingerprinting can be unreliable when ____.
A .the methods used for blood- cell calculation
are not accurate
B. two different
individuals of the same ethnic group may have the
same
DNA fingerprinting pattern
C. a
match is by chance left with fingerprints that
happen to belong to two
different individuals
D. two different individuals leave two DNA
samples.
13. To geneticists like Lewontin
and Hartl, the current method ____.
A. is
not so convincing as to exclude the likelihood
that two DNA samples
can never come from two
individuals
B. is arguable because two
individuals of the same ethnic group are likely to
have the same DNA pattern.
C. is not
based on adequate scientific theory of genetics
D. is theoretically contradictory to what
they have been studying
14. The attitude of
the Federal Bereau of Investigation shows that
____.
A. enough data are yet to be
collected form various ethnic groups to confirm
the unlikelihood of two DNA samples coming
from two individual members
B. enough data
of DNA samples should be collected to confirm that
only
DNA samples form the same person can
match
C. enough data are yet to be
collected from various ethnic groups to
determine the likelihood of two different DNA
samples coming form the same
person 来
D.
additional samples from various ethnic groups
should be collected to
determine that two DNA
samples are unlikely to come from the same person
15. National Academy of Sciences holds the
stance that ____.
A. DNA testing should be
systematized
B. Only authorized
laboratories can conduct DNA testing
C. the
academy only is authorized to work out standards
for testing
D. the academy has the right to
accredit laboratories for DNA testing
Passage Four
A. ‘Consumer behavior’ is
the behavior that consumers display in seeking,
purchasing, using, evaluating and disposing of
products and services that they
expect will
satisfy their personal needs. The study of
consumer behavior is the study
of how
individuals make decisions to spend their
available resources (money, time
and effort)
on products and services. Consumer behavior
includes both mental
decisions and the
physical actions that result from those decisions.
Although some
social scientists limit their
understanding of ‘behavior’ to observable actions,
it is
校训：耐劳苦、尚简朴、勤学业、爱国家
重庆大学研究生试卷（2011版） 第 6 页 共 8 页
apparent that the reasons and decisions behind
the actions involved in human (and
consumer)
behavior are as important to investigate as the
actions themselves.
B. People engage in
activities for many purposes other than
consumption but,
when acting as a customer,
individuals have just one goal in mind – to obtain
goods
and services that meet their needs and
wants. All consumers face varying problems
associated with acquiring products to sustain
life and provide for some comforts.
Because
solutions to these problems are vital to the
existence of most people, and
the economic
well-being of all, they are usually not taken
lightly. The process is
complex, as choices
must be made regarding what, why, how, when, where
and how
often to buy an item.
C.
Take, for instance, the product bottled water – a
multimillion-dollar industry. A
study of
consumption behavior in this area would
investigate what kinds of
consumers buy
bottled water, and why, when and where they buy
it. The study
might find that, among some
consumers, the growing use of bottled water is
tied to
concerns with fitness; and, among
others, with the quality of tap water. It might
find
that domestic brands have a totally
different image from imported brands, and that
the reasons and occasions for usage vary among
consumers. By contrast, a more
durable product
such as a document scanner would have a very
different target
market. What kinds of
consumers buy, or would buy, a scanner for home
use? What
features do they look for? How much
are they willing to pay? How many will wait
for prices to come down? The answers to these
questions can be found through
consumer
research, and would provide scanner manufacturers
with important input
for product design
modification and marketing strategy.
D.
The word ‘consumer’ is often used to describe two
different kinds of
consuming entities; the
personal consumer and the organizational consumer.
The
personal consumer buys goods and services
for his or her own use (e.g. shaving
cream),
for the use of the whole household (television
set), for another member of
the household (a
shirt or electronic game) or as a gift for a
friend (a book). In all
these contexts, the
goods are bought for final use by individuals who
are referred to
as ‘end-users’ or ‘ultimate
consumers’.
E. The second category of
consumer includes profit and non-profit
businesses,
public sector agencies (local and
national) and institutions (schools, churches,
prisons), all of which buy products, equipment
and services in order to run their
organizations. Manufacturing companies must
buy the raw materials and other
components to
manufacture and sell their products; service
companies must buy the
equipment necessary to
render the services they sell; government agencies
buy the
office products needed to operate
agencies; institutions must buy the materials they
need to maintain themselves and their
populations.
F. The person who purchases
a product is not always the sole user of the
product.
Nor is the purchaser necessarily the
person who makes the decision or pays for the
product. Thus the marketplace activities of
individuals entail three functions, or
roles,
as part of the processes involved in consumer
behavior. The three functions
are the
consumer, the person who consumes or uses the
product or service; the
purchaser, the person
who undertakes the activities to obtain the
product or service;
and the payer, the person
who provides the money or other object of value to
obtain
the product or service. Marketers must
decide whom to direct their marketing
efforts
toward. For some products or services, they must
identify the person who is
most likely to
influence the decision. Some marketers believe
that the buyer of the
products is the best
prospect, others believe it is the user of the
product, while still
others play it safe by
directing their promotional efforts to both buyers
and users.
For example, some toy manufacturers
advertise their products on children’s
television shows to reach the users, others
advertise in magazines to reach the
buyers,
and others run dual campaigns designed to reach
both children and their
parents.
G.
In addition to studying how consumers use the
products they buy, consumer
researchers are
also interested in how individuals dispose of
their once-new
purchases when they are
finished with them. The answer to this question is
important to marketers, as they must match
production to the frequency with which
consumers buy replacements. It is also
important to society as a whole, as solid
waste disposal has become a major
environmental problem that marketers must
address in their development of products and
packaging. Recycling is no longer a
sufficient
response to the problem. Many manufacturers have
begun to
remanufacture old components to
install in new products, because remanufacturing
is often cheaper, easier and more efficient
than recycling

passage into Chinese. Write your answer on your
Answer Sheet.
Classroom climate is
important. If students experience the classroom as
a caring,
supportive place where there is a
sense of belonging and everyone is valued and
respected, they will tend to participate more
fully in the process of learning. Various
task
dimensions can also foster motivation to learn.
Ideally, tasks should be
challenging but
achievable. Relevance also promotes motivation, as
does
“contextualizing” learning, that is,
helping students to see how skills can be applied
in the real world. Tasks that involve “a
moderate amount of discrepancy or
incongruity”
are beneficial because they stimulate students’
curiosity, an intrinsic
motivator.

In modern societies, despite the
social progress and prosperity,
people always
feel that there is something not right. However,
it is hard
for them to put a finger on it. A
feeling of emptiness and not belonging, a
lack
of defined solid relationship seem to be the
sources of unhappiness.
People all agree on
the great conundrum of personal happiness: when
asked how they are, they will answer in terms
of their family life and
work life rather than
just what they are paid.
