. Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Directions:
There
are
4
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). Y
ou should decide on the best choice.
Passage One
Adam Smith was the first person to see the importance of the division of the labor.
He gave us an example of the process by which pins were made in England.
it,
and
a
fifth
gives
it
a
head.
Just
to
make
the
head
requires
two
or
three
different
operations. The work of
making pins
is divided
into about eighteen different operations,
which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same
man will sometimes perform two or three of them.
Ten
men, Smith said,
in this
way
, turned out
twelve pounds of pins a day or about
4800 pins a worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without
division of
labor, they certainly could
not
have
made twenty pins
in a day and
not even
one.
There can be
no doubt that division of
labor
is an efficient way of organizing
work.
Fewer people can
make
more pins. Adam Smith saw this, but
he also took
it for granted
that division of
labor
is
itself
responsible
for economic
growth and development and
it
accounts
for
the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still.
But
division of labor adds nothing new, it only enables people to produce more of what they
already have.
21. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to__________
A) take advantage of the physical labor
B) introduce the division of labor into England
C) understand the effects of the division of labor
１
D) explain the bad causes of the division of labor
22. Adam Smith saw that the division of labor__________
A) enabled each worker to design pins more quickly
B) increased the possible output per worker
C) increased the number of people employed in factories
D) improved the quality of pins produced
23. Adam Smith mentioned the number 4800 in order to__________
A) show the advantages of the old labor system
B) stress how powerful the individual worker was
C) show the advantages of the division of labor
D) stress the importance of increased production

4. According to the writer, Adam Smith’s
mistake was in believing
that the division of labor__________
A) was an efficient way of organizing work
B) was an important development in methods of production
C) finally led to economic development
D) increased the production of existing goods
25. According to the writer, which one of the following is NOT tree?
A) Division of labor can enable fewer people to make more pins.
B) Division of labor helps people to produce more of what they already have.
C) Division of labor is by no means responsible for economic growth.
D) Division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work.
Passage two
When we talk about
intelligence,
we do
not
mean
the ability to
get
good scores on
certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well
in school.
By
intelligence we
mean a
way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test
intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what
to do.
For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation,
not about himself or
what
might
happen to
him. He tries to
find out all
he can, and then
h
e acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will
all work out, but at least he tries. And,
if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t
feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person,
even
if
he
is
very
young,
has a
special outlook on
life, a
special
feeling about
life, and
knows how he fits into it.
If
you
look
at
children,
you
’
ll
see
great
difference
between
what
we
call
children and
They are actually
two different kinds of people,
not
just
the
same
kind
with
different
amount
of
intelligence.
For
example,
the
bright
child
really
wants to
find out about
life -
he tries to
get
in touch with everything around
him.
But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream- world; he seems to
have a wall between him and life in general.
26. According to this passage, intelligence is __________.
A) the ability to study well
B) the ability to do well in school
C) the ability to deal with life
D) the ability to get high scores on some tests
27. In a new situation, an intelligent person__________.
A) knows more about what might happen to him
B) is sure of the result he will get
C) concentrates on what to do about the situation
D) cares more about himself
28. If an intelligent person failed, he would__________.
A) try not to feel ashamed
B) learn from his experiences
C) try to regret as much as possible
D) make sure what result he would get
29. Bright children and not-bright children__________.
A) are two different types of children
B) are different mainly in their degree of cleverness
C) have difference only in their way of thinking
D) have different knowledge about the world
30. The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about __________.
A) how to determine what intelligence is
B) how education should be found
C) how to solve practical problems
D) how an unintelligent person should be taught
Passage three
How
much
living
space
does
a
person
need?
What
happens
when
his
space
requirements
are
not
adequately
met?
Sociologists
and
psychologists
are
conducting
experiments
on
rats
to
try
to
determine
the
effects
of
overcrowded
conditions
on
man.
Recent studies
have shown that the behavior of
rats
is
greatly affected by space.
If rats
have
adequate
living
space,
they
eat
well,
sleep
well,
and
reproduce
well.
However,
if
their living conditions become too crowded, their behavior patterns and even their health
perceptibly(
可感知地
)
change.
They
cannot
sleep
and
eat
well,
and
signs
of
fear
and
tension
become
obvious.
The
more
crowed
they
are,
the
more
they
tend
to
bite
each
other and even kill each other. Thus for rats, population and violence are directly related.
Is this a natural law for human society as well? Is adequate space not only desirable, but
