II. Reading Comprehension (25%)

Directions: Each of the following passages below is followed by some questions. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions, then mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET by blackening the corresponding letter.

Passage 1.

Questions 1 to 4 are based on the following passage:

There are various ways in which individual economic units can interact with one another. Three basic ways may be described as the market system, the administered system and the traditional system.

In a market system individual economic units are free to interact among each other in the market place. It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them. In a market, transactions may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy, real goods such as automobiles, shoes, and pizzas are traded against each other. Obviously, finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task. Hence, the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably. In the modern market economy, goods and services are bought or sold for money.

An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions. This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each goods and service should be produced, exchanged, and consumed by each economic unit. Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy. The central plan, drawn up by the government, shows the amounts of each commodity produced by the various firms and allocated to different households for consumption. This is an example of complete planning of production, consumption, and exchange for the whole economy.

In a traditional society, production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition: parentage, religion, and custom fix every person's place within the economic system. Transactions take place on the basis of tradition, too. People belonging to a certain group or caste may have an obligation to care for other persons, provide them with food and shelter, care for their health, and provide for their education. Clearly, in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone, progress may be difficult to achieve. A stagnant society may result.

1.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To outline contrasting types of economic systems.

B.To explain the science of economics.

C.To argue for the superiority of one economic system.

D.To compare barter and money exchange markets.

2.In the second paragraph, the word “real” in “real goods” could best be replaced by which of the following?

A.high quality

B.concrete

C.utter

D.authentic

3.According to the passage, a barter economy can lead to ____________.

A.rapid speed of transactions

B.misunderstandings

C.inflation

D.difficulties for the traders

4.According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control in an administered system?

A.Individual.

B.Small businesses.

C.Major corporations.

D.The government.

Passage 2.

Questions 5 to 8 are based on the following passage:

Many private institutions of higher education around the country are in danger. Not all will be saved, and perhaps not all deserved to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality businesses. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.

But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a squeeze (沉重负担) financially, with no way to reduce rising costs or increasing revenues significantly. Raising tuition doesn’t bring in more revenues, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are businesses, whether public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.

It is such colleges, thriving but threatened, that I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollment, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently better than public schools. Examples to the contrary abound. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world. It is now inevitable that public institutions will be dominant, and therefore diversity is a national necessity. Diversity in the way we support schools tends to give us a healthy diversity in the forms of education. In an imperfect society such as ours, uniformity of education throughout the nation could be dangerous. In an imperfect society diversity is a positive good. Ardent supporters of public higher education know the importance of sustaining private higher education.

5.The author thinks that schools are bad business because of ____________.

A.improper management

B.the low quality

C.the unstable number of students

D.their inherent nature

6.The phrase “go under” in the third paragraph most probably means ____________.

A.enrollments decline

B.get into difficulties

C.have lower revenues

D.survive

7.All of the following are not mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ____________.

A.all private schools deserved to be saved

B.some private schools should be turned into public ones for existence

C.there are some cases to show that public schools are better than private schools

D.private schools should be dominant

8.Which of the following ways could possibly save private schools?

A.Government offers financial support.

B.Full enrollment.

C.National awareness and support.

D.Merging with public schools.

Passage 3.

Questions 9 to 12 are based on the following passage:

Opinion polls (测验) are now beginning to show an unwilling general agreement that, whoever is to blame and whatever happens from now on, high unemployment is probably here to stay. This means we shall have to find ways of sharing the available employment more widely.

But we need to go further. We must ask some fundamental questions about the future of work. Should we continue to treat employment as the norm (标准，准则)? Should we not rather encourage many other ways for self-respecting people to work? Should we not create conditions in which many of us can work for ourselves, rather than for an employer? Should we not aim to revive the household and the neighborhood, as well as the factory and the office, as centers of production and work?

The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of the changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history shows, has not meant economic freedom.

Employment became widespread when the enclosures (圈地) of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by depriving them of the use of the land, and thus of the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their places of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.

Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. It became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife.

All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some effort and resources away from the impractical goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.

9.The passage suggests that we should now re-examine our thinking about work and ____________.

A.be prepared to admit that being employed is not the only kind of work

B.create more factories in order to increase our productivity

C.set up smaller private enterprises so that we in turn can employ others

D.be prepared to fill in time by taking up housework

10.The passage tells us that the arrival of the industrial age means that ____________.

A.universal employment guaranteed prosperity

B.economic freedom came within everyone’s reach

C.patterns of work were fundamentally changed

D.to survive, everyone had to find a job

11.As a result of the enclosures of the 17th and 18th centuries ____________.

A.people were no longer legally entitled to own land

B.people were forced to look elsewhere for means of supporting themselves

C.people were not adequately compensated for the loss of their land

D.people were badly paid for the work they managed to find

12.It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

A.the creation of jobs for all is an impossibility

B.we must make every effort to solve the problem of unemployment

C.people should start to support themselves by learning a practical skill

D.we should help people to get full-time jobs

Passage 4.

Questions 13 to 16 are based on the following passage.

We sometimes think humans are uniquely vulnerable to anxiety, but stress seems to affect the immune defenses of lower animals too. In one experiment, for example, behavioral immunologist (免疫学家) Mark Laudenslager, at the university of Denver, gave mild electric shocks to 24 rats. Half the animals could switch off the current by turning a wheel in their enclosure, while the other half could not. The rats in the two groups were paired so that each time one rat turned the wheel it protected both itself and its helpless partner from the shock. Laudenslager found that the immune response was depressed below normal in the helpless rats but not in those that could turn off the electricity. What he has demonstrated, he believes, is that lack of control over an event, not the experience itself, is what weakens the immune system.

Other researchers agree. Jay Weiss, a psychologist at Duke University School of Medicine, has shown that animals who are allowed to control unpleasant stimuli don’t develop sleep disturbances or change in brain chemistry typical of stressed rats. But if the animals are confronted with situations they have no control over, they later behave passively when faced with experiences they can control. Such findings reinforce psychologists’ suspicions that the experience or perception of helplessness is one of the most harmful factors in depression.

One of the most startling examples of how the mind can alter the immune response was discovered by chance. In 1975 psychologist Robert Ader at the University of Rochester School of Medicine conditioned (使形成条件反射) mice to avoid saccharin (糖精) by simultaneously feeding them the sweetener and injecting them with a drug that while suppressing their immune system caused stomach upsets. Associating the saccharin with the stomach pains, the mice quickly learned to avoid the sweetener. In order to extinguish this dislike for the sweetener, Ader reexposed the animals to saccharin, this time without the drug, and was astonished to found that those mice that had received the highest amounts of sweetener during their earlier conditioning died. He could only speculate that he had so successfully conditioned the rats that saccharin alone now served to weaken their immune systems enough to kill them.

13.Laudenslager’s experiment showed that the immune system of those who could turn off the electricity ____________.

A.was strengthened

B.was altered

C.was not affected

D.was weaken

14.According to the passage, the experience of helplessness causes rats to ____________.

A.try to control unpleasant stimuli

B.turn off the electricity

C.behave passively in controllable situations

D.become abnormally suspicious

15.The reason why the mice in Ader’s experiment avoided saccharin was that ____________.

A.they disliked its taste

B.it affected their immune systems

C.it led to stomach pains

D.they associated it with stomachaches

16.It can be concluded from the passage that the immune systems of animals ________.

A.can be weakened by conditioning

B.can be suppressed by drug injections

C.can be affected by frequent doses of saccharin

D.can be altered by electric shocks

III. Extensive Reading ( 20% )

Directions: The following questions are based on the articles in Extensive Reading of Advanced College English (Vol One). Write your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.

(I).

Directions: You are required to match each paragraph with one of the four titles listed beneath the paragraph.

17.Even before the book was released, there was a feverish fight for the movie rights. David O. Selznick, a Hollywood mongol who had recently created his own studio, paid Mitchell $50,000, an outstanding amount for that time. But despite Selznick's wishes, Mitchell refused to write a script or to have anything to do with the film's production.

A. Notes on the Great Mozart mystery

B. The Brown Wasps

C. Twin Perils of Love & War

D. An American Sensation: Gone With the Wind

18.That is what I mean by the Mozart Problem and the anxiety it causes me. In all art, in all anything, there is nothing like the perfection of Mozart, nothing to compare with the range of feeling he explores, nothing to equal the contrast between the simplicity of the materials and the complexity and effect of his use of them. The piano concertos themselves exhibit these truths at their most intense; he was a greater master of this form than of the symphony itself, and to hear every one of them, in the astounding abundance of genius they provide, played as I have so recently heard them played, is to be brought face to face with a mystery which, if we could solve it, would solve the mystery of life itself.

A.Descent Into The Maelstrom

B.Notes on the Great Mozart Mystery

C.A Needless Tragedy

D.The Living Dead

19.A book is a participatory adventure. It involves a creative act at its inception and a creative act when its purpose is fulfilled. The writer dreams the dream and sets it down; the reader reinterprets the dream in personal terms, with personal vision, when he or she reads it. Each creates a world. The template is the book.

A.Books, TV, And The Imagination

B.The Make-Believe Media

C.Anglo vs Chicano: Why?

D.Bill Clinton’s Inaugural Address

20.He slid out of bed, got a long strip of old flannel from a trunk, wrapped the gun in it, and tied it to his naked thigh while it was still loaded. He did not go in to breakfast. Even though it was not yet daylight, he started for Jim Hawkins’ plantation. Just as the sun was rising he reached the barns where the mules and plows were kept.

A.The Death of Reality

B.Jefferson Today

C.Jurassic Conservation

D.The Man Who Was Almost A Man

21.The truth is that American education has been under the influence of "globalization" for a long time. While the usual indicators — enrollment in foreign languages or support for bilingual education, for example — don't seem to show a change of focus, in many other ways schools are becoming more aware of the world. Nor can this decrease in isolation be traced to the demand for multicultural education.

A.A Needless Tragedy

B.The Make Believe Media

C.Some International Thoughts

D.Internet Term-Papers dog College

22.Equally importantly, they managed to keep these values alive, despite the tension and conflict generated by the Cold War. But the practices that helped the UN survive the Cold War years— the division into blocs and slow and ponderous decision making now, I fear, diminish the effectiveness of the UN at a time when we need its leadership more than ever before.

A.The Make-Believe Media

B.Twin Perils of Love & War

C.Leave No Man Behind

D.The Challenge for the UN in a Globalizing World

23.Late last month, Boston University took legal action against the companies it duped into selling material to Bookwalter, charging them in federal court with wire fraud, mail fraud, racketeering and violating a Massachustte law that bans the sale of term papers. The university wants to stop the companies from ever doing business in the state and is demanding that all of their documents be seized.

A.Internet Term-Papers Dog Colleges

B.Bill Clinton’s Inaugural Address

C.Notes on the Great Mozart Mystery

D.Descent Into the Maelstrom

24.Worry about the deleterious effects of violent films, videos and video games -- and indeed, even the electronic news -- does seem to be growing. Yet our difficulty, perhaps, lies in our considering violence make-believe only, in isolation from the rest of the illusion saturating our lives.

A.Anglo vs Chicano: Why?

B.The Death of Reality

C.Some International Thoughts

D.The Living Dead

25.There are conflicting accounts about whether Paul had anything to drink while he was at the Ritz. The small, discreet bar at the back of the hotel was closed for renovations. Paul would have had to do his tippling in a more open bar near the entrance, where he would have been in plain view of his superiors at the hotel. But he was unquestionably inebriated when he got behind the wheel.

A.The Man Who Was Almost A Man

B.The Death of Reality

C.A Needless Tragedy

D.Twin Perils of Love & War

26.Cloning endangered species is a classic case of lazy science that will spare us all the bother of preventing extinction. However much its supporters may protest that cloning will only be used to complement conservation, to step in when conservation has failed, the day will come when the financial benefits of, say, clearing a rainforest will outweigh the costs of cloning the endangered species within. Someone will be prepared to pay for it, and the rot will have begun.

A.The Death of Reality

B.Some International Thoughts

C.Jefferson Today

D.Jurassic Conservation

(II)

Directions: You are required to select the correct answer from the four choices to each of the questions following the paragraphs.

27.In a perverse twist, there are colleges turning down some of their strongest applicants because admissions officers believe they will ultimately decide to go elsewhere. The motive is to raise their “yield”—the percentage of admitted students who actually enroll. The obsession with yield, which is one of the factors measured by U.S. News & World Report in its influential college rankings, is distorting the admissions process, guidance counselors complain.

A factor that is used to rate colleges and universities is:

A.Number of students who have the strongest scores.

B.Number of students who go to another college.

C.The yield of the number of students that actually enroll.

D.The yield of the number of students that do not enroll.

28. Today, instead of children’s games, storytelling, folk tales, and fables of our own making, we have the multibillion-dollar industries of Hollywood and television to fill our minds with prefabricated images and themes. Nor are these just idle distractions, for such images often have real ideological content. Even if supposedly not political in intent, the entertainment industry has been political in its impact, discouraging critical perceptions of our social order while planting pictures in our heads that have been supportive of U.S. militarism, armed intervention abroad, phobic anti-communism, authoritarian violence, consumer acquisitiveness, racial and sexual stereotypes, vigilantism, simple-minded religiosity, and anti-working-class attitudes.

Hollywood movies and television programs are sending to its viewers:

A.Idle distractions

B.Real ideological content.

C.Entertainment only.

D.There is no intent to plant pictures in our heads.

29.There is nothing to prepare you for the experience of growing old. Living is a process, an irreversible progression toward old age and eventual death. You see men of eighty still vital and straight as oaks; you see men of fifty reduced to gray shadows in the human landscape. The cellular clock differs for each one of us, and is profoundly affected by our own life experiences, our heredity, and perhaps most important, by the concepts of aging encountered in society and in oneself.

Which is Not a factor in the aging process:

A.Aging encountered in society.

B.Our physical stature.

C.Our heredity.

D.Our life experiences.

30.There is no persuasive evidence that the paparazzi directly caused the crash later that night. Brian Anderson, a 43-year-old computer consultant from California, was in a taxi heading toward the tunnel shortly after midnight when a large, dark Mercedes passed him. Then a pair of motorcycles roared by. According to Anderson, one of these passed the Mercedes in the narrow space between the car and the curb. “I thought, ‘Those guys are crazy’,” Anderson told Newsweek. Moments later he heard a boom in the tunnel. “The one motorcycle that had gone in front of the car exited the tunnel and the other stopped,” said Anderson. French police discount Anderson’s testimony, however, and say that many more witnesses put the pursuers at least 100 yards behind the speeding Mercedes at the time of the crash.

At the time of the crash the police determined that:

A.The witnesses put the pursuers no where in site.

B.The witnesses put the pursuers 100 yards ahead of the speeding Mercedes.

C.The witnesses put the pursuers next to the speeding Mercedes.

D.The witnesses put the pursuers 100 yards behind the speeding Mercedes.

31.Darkness saved the Americans. The enemy tried to draw them out by provoking them to exchange tracer rounds, which glow in the dark. But the enemy’s own tracers allowed the American AC-130 gunships to zero in and silence most of the enemy machine guns and mortars. Lumbering Chinook helicopters began arriving to lift out the wounded. The last Americans did not take off until nearly midnight. The toll: 27 wounded or injured. “It amazes me that none of us died,” says Sgt. Taji Moore. As he lay, bleeding and pinned down by enemy fire, Moore had observed something curious: several of the enemy soldiers were holding up the bright orange cloth flags normally used by American forces to ward off friendly fire by attacking aircraft. He wondered at the enemy’s level of preparation. “It was almost like we were set up,” he told NEWSWEEK.

The term set up as told in an interview with NEWSWEEK means:

A.The enemy set up attack with out preparation.

B.The Americans set up to fight the enemy.

C.The American soldier had to set up their escape.

D.The enemy was prepared for the Americans.

32.In the gaudy mansion of Clinton’s mind there are many rooms with heavy doors, workrooms and playrooms, rooms stuffed with trophies, rooms to stash scandals and regrets. He walks lightly amid the ironies of his talents and behavior, just by consigning them to different cubbies of his brain. It’s an almost scary mind, that of a multitasking wizard who plays hearts while he talks on the phone with a head of state, who sits through a dense briefing on chemical weapons intently doing a crossword puzzle, only to take reporters’ questions hours later and repeat whole sections of the briefing word for word.

What does this tell you about President Clinton, that he:

A.is able to concentrate on the briefing at the same time do something else.

B.rather do cross word puzzles then listen to briefing.

C.doesn’t think what people are telling him is important.

D.is bored.

33.What did he mean by the concept of equality, which he stated as a “self-evident” truth? Obviously, he was not foolish enough to believe that all men are equal size or intelligence or talents or moral development. He never said that men are equal, but only that they come into the world with “equal rights”. He believed that equality was a political rather than a biological or psychological of economic conception. It was a gift that man acquired automatically by coming into the world as a member of the human community.

The concept of equality means:

A.Equal in physical size.

B.Equal in intelligence.

C.Equal political rights.

D.Equal in wealth.

34.Stuart Youngner, director of the Center for biomedical Ethics at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio, predicts that as the shortage of organs increases, the boundaries of death will be stretched even further. In the US, the number of patients waiting for organs more than tripled from 22,000 in 1990 to 72,000 in 1999. But the numbers of dead and living donor transplants that took place increased far more slowly, from 15,000 to 22,000 over the same period. The greatest shortage is in paediatric organs. Between a third and a half of children who need organs die on the waiting list, and the situation has already forced the US authorities to consider another controversial source of organs.

The number of patients waiting for organs has tripled, with the largest shortage in:

A.Children.

B.Men.

C.Women.

D.Elderly.

35.The motives that brought Spaniards and Englishmen to America also differed. The former came on an enterprise of discovery, searching for a new route to India initially, and later for new lands to conquer, the fountain of youth, minerals, the Seven Cities of Cibola and, in the case of the missionaries, new souls to win for the Kingdom of Heaven. The English came to escape religious persecution, and once having found a haven, they settled down to cultivate the soil and establish their homes. Since the Spaniards were not seeking a refuge or running away from anything, they continued their explorations and circled the globe twenty-five years after the discovery of the New World.

Which is NOT a motive for the Spaniards to come to America:

A.New lands to conquer.

B.Searching for a new route to India.

C.Seek refuge from religious persecution.

D.Searching for the Seven cities of Cibola.

36.As times change, so government must change. We need a new government for a new century, a government humble enough not to try to solve all our problems for us, but strong enough to give us the tools to solve our problems for ourselves. A government that is smaller, lives within its means, and does more with less. Yet where it can stand up for our values and interests around the world, and where it can give Americans the power to make a real difference in their everyday lives, government should do more, not less. The pre-eminent mission of our new government is to give all Americans an opportunity -- not a guarantee -- but a real opportunity to build better lives.

In this paragraph the President is telling the people what they can expect from the government what they can not expect which is:

A.The government must change.

B.The government will do more with less.

C.The government will give all Americans a guarantee.

D.The government will be smaller.

Less desirably, but more Probably, it might happen in clandestine fashion in some offshore laboratory where a couple desperate for a child has put their hopes in the hands of a researcher seeking instant renown. Cloning also brings hope to families with inherited genetic diseases by opening the way to gene therapy. Such therapy is the holy grail of genetic medicine.
