Directions: Read the following passage or passages and then answer the questions. For the first 7 questions in each passage, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For the remaining 3 questions in the same passage, complete the sentences with the

information given in the passage.

Questions 1 to 10 are based on the following passage. What's Happened to Company Loyalty?

After all these years, they're letting me go!"

I immediately recognized the voice at the other end of the phone. It was my friend Joe. Without taking even a breath, he continued, "What's happened to company loyalty?"

Joe was obviously upset and needed help. We talked a while and when finally I calmed him down, he explained what had happened. For over fifteen years, Joe had been with a large printing company. Recently, he'd been in a middle management accounting job, and he expected to be there until his retirement. But then came a merger (喜) and the inevitable reorganization. Joe's job was

removed, and there was no other spot for him. His job loss came as a sudden and alarming shock.

It shouldn't have.

I told my friend that in a world of global company mergers,

buy-outs, and reorganizations, management often values making money more than loyalty to employees. That's the way it is, and it's been this way for several decades. Nobody should be surprised by this fact. If a merger is intended to bring together two companies, it's obvious that two accounting departments can't continue to exist. Some folks will have to go.

Joe should have seen the early warning signalsDthe writing on the wall. But, he thought the writing wasn't "that" obvious. He'd only heard from other people that a merger was coming. Of course, he'd have been wise to prepare himself just the same. After all, where

dollars u7 新视野大学英语2上级练习题(含答案)

there's smoke, there's usually fire.

I suggested several methods Joe can use for survivingDand actually profiting fromDa lack of company loyalty in the future.

First, anytime there are rumors of organizational change, one should take stock of one's self and career. Decide what to do and how to do it in advance of a formal announcement. For example, what will make long and short term goals happen? Look at

alternative industries and functions and decide what might be a good fit. Begin to write a personal record, as well as an action plan. Even if a rumor turns out to be false, the preparation will reduce the effect of something like this down the road.

Next, do some research about the other organization, and listen to other people's chatting. If the other company is going to buy your company, how many employees are there? How is it known in the business community? What are its strengths and weaknesses? In Joe's case, if a buyer's strength is an advanced computer

61阅读提醒您本文地址：

program, and he's unfamiliar with it, he might take a quick course on the subject in order to appear more valuable and improve his chances of being kept. If a weakness is in the buyer's accounting department, he should figure out how he can help improve the situation. That might even get him promoted!

Also, always look into the buyer's culture and working environment. It's a good bet these standards of operation will be imposed. Is a 12-hour day usual? Is the management style strict? Or is the dress style too traditional? If the answers to these questions are

uncomfortable, it may be best to seek a job elsewhere, before it's decided who will go and who will stay.

If one is working for the buyer, how is the company being acquired known in the business community? Do their employees appear to be more skilled and better able to handle the merged workload? What would a merged department look like? How many people would be doing the same jobs?

There are many sources for information. One of the best is friends in the industry. This is called networking. Or, if an acquiring

organization is publicly held, a copy of its yearly report will indicate the company's financial health. Many organizations are struggling with huge financial loads from their merger-crazy activities of the past decade. Notions of job security and seniority may have been

dollars u7 新视野大学英语2上级练习题(含答案)

given up long ago in an effort to cut labor costs.

Joe's problem resulted from a denial of reality. His company was a good target for acquisition. He had known that for some time, but made no effort to protect himself. Even after the acquisition deal closed, he was still confident that his job was safe. He really

believed that the new management would look at his fifteen-year record and say, "We can't let this guy go!" That might have happened twenty-five years ago, but not today.

Even when a relative owns the company, job security is one's own responsibility. We must all stay attentive, aware, and sensitive to what's happening around us, as well as be prepared with a "worst-case" plan of action.

After getting Joe on the track to job recovery, I left him with a couple of key reminders. A job, unlike a diamond, is not forever. And, since we are the chief executive officers of our own careers, we must manage them like the businesses they are!

1. What suddenly happened to Joe after he had worked over 15

Part 4 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.

An animal species dies out when it fails to produce enough young in each generation to keep pace with the death rate. We can tell from fossil evidence in rocks that many living species have no longer been in existence over the millions of years since life began. It is a natural process, and dying out is the fate of any animal that has specialized too much to change with its changing environment, or has to compete with a better adapted and more powerful animal.

dollars u7 新视野大学英语2上级练习题(含答案)

Because of wonderful technical developments during the past few centuries, man has destroyed or has nearly destroyed some species by killing them at such a rate that they couldn't produce enough young, or by completely changing their natural environment at surprising speed.

Examples can be given of the way in which natural environments are being rapidly changed. There is every possibility that many species of animals will die out because of their disappearing food source. Large numbers of animals have been hunted and killed for food. The North American buffalo (水牛) is a case of the

near-dying-out species through hunting. Often the numbers are so great that the hunters may not realize the danger; or the financial rewards for the hunters may be so great that they choose to pay no attention to the threat to species.

Many people are concerned about animals and wildlife protection. One way to protect species from the threat of dying out is to place animals in zoos and parks and breed them there. Another method is to protect the animals in their natural environment by creating wildlife protection areas and parks and using police to look after them. But the parks are large, the police are few, and the

61阅读提醒您本文地址：

determination of hunters is very great. Early in 1980s, police and hunters clashed in East Africa. The hunters were armed with modern weapons, and several people were killed.

There is great pleasure in watching wildlife in natural or

near-natural environments, and tourism can add to the income of countries. The animals are still resources-but in a very different form.

1. According to the passage, when will animal species become

extinct (灭绝

)?

A. When it suffers a disease it has never known before.

B. When it has been in existence for too many years.

C. When it has a death rate that is made faster by man.

D. When it produces babies slower than the death rate.

2. What might happen to an animal species if it specialized too

dollars u7 新视野大学英语2上级练习题(含答案)

much?

A. It might produce more young.

B. It might compete even better.

C. It might be forced to change.

D. It might die out in the end.

3. One way to protect species from the threat of dying out is to

_________.

A. build up walls to isolate animals in nature from people

B. put all the hunters into prison and keep them there

C. educate people in general to protect animals well

D. place animals in zoos and breed them there safely

4.

How do wildlife protection areas protect endangered animals?

A. They use police help to protect them.

B. They prevent hunters from killing them.

C. They make the areas like natural places.

D. They provide the animals with much food.

5.

Why do tourists go to places where they can watch wildlife?

A. They can add to the income of troubled countries.

B. They can make themselves happy by seeing animals.

C. They can encourage the growth of natural places.

D. They can make use of animal resources more often.

dollars u7 新视野大学英语2上级练习题(含答案)

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Have you ever felt your mind getting confused after a sleepless night and you couldn't come up with an original thought no matter how hard you tried?

You were probably right if you thought that was caused by a lack of sleep. Dr. Home, a sleep researcher in England, studied 24 college students. One group got their normal eight hours of sleep. The other group didn't get any sleep at all—they stayed awake all night. The next day, Dr. Home tested the students. He asked them questions that required creative and original thinking. One of the questions was "How many uses can a box be put to?"

61阅读提醒您本文地址：

The results? The wide-awake students did well on the tests. The tired students did poorly.

Research has already shown that tired people can do okay on tests of routine thinking, like simple addition. But Dr. Home tested creative thinking only.

As part of his study, he offered an amount of money as a reward to the tired students if they did well. But even this encouragement wasn't enough to help the students overcome their tiredness. They still did poorly. Dr. Home believes that the part of the brain where thinking takes place may get worn out during waking hours. Sleep may help to repair the brain overnight. Without any sleep, he emphasizes, "even if you think harder, you cannot do better." This study gives people something to think about, especially people like hospital workers and airplane pilots, who must stay awake all night and then make emergency decisions.

6. According to the passage, failure to think of new ideas may be

_____________.

A. caused by a lack of sleep

B. caused by hard questions

Charlie Chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh. No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the oversized shoes. Much has been written about Chaplin's art and his career, and opinions have ranged widely. But perhaps those who called him "the truest human being of our time" came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work. It is an art filled with sad elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation. All the writers who give accounts of Chaplin's life agree that Charlie's unhappy early years in the area in London where houses were dirty and worn had a great influence on his development and on the type of films he made. Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs (回忆录). The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one tends to agree. Indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him. Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreement in his films. He gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from World War I in 1918. This was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been an unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capital governments, satirizing (讽刺) the cruelty of the machine age, and even making fun of Hitler. Years after his death, the funny films of motion picture actor and director Charlie Chaplin continue to be well loved. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, the establishment, or networks. 41. All of the following about Charlie Chaplin are true except _____A__________. A. he was born in the USA B. he was a great film actor C. he had an unhappy early life D. he made fun of Hitler in one of his films 42. According to the author, Charlie Chaplin has been well loved by generation after generation because _______D_______. A. he set the whole world laughing B. his performances get people involved C. his works appeal to people in different periods

D. both B and C 43. According to the writers of Charlie Chaplin's life history, ___C_________ had a strong influence on the type of films he made. A. the society in which he lived B. the audience who praised and admired him C. his unhappy early years in the poor area in London D. those who called him a genius 44. According to the passage, which of the following is true? D A. There are timeless qualities in Chaplin's work because he didn't involve himself in political affairs. B. Chaplin became well loved years after his death. C. Chaplin's performance is funny without any sad elements. D. Chaplin's films are the combinations of funny and sad elements. 45. This passage was ______B______. A. written by Charlie Chaplin B. written about Charlie Chaplin C. advertising one of Charlie Chaplin's films D. written for students to learn film-making Questions 46 to 50 are based on the same passage or dialog. Polygamy is a funny thing―funny ha ha, as well as peculiar. One thinks of the 19th-century Mormon leader, Brigham Young, with his 55 wives (in those days, they said, women married Young). Devout (虔敬的) Mormons hold that a message from God told Young to go ahead and start collecting wives. Skeptics (怀疑者), of course, say that there was something else to this. In any case, it proved to be an efficient means of enabling Mormons to outnumber skeptics. And in fairness, some of his wives were elderly women whom he married out of kindness and not because he was attracted to them. I find it very curious that Western countries, despite how much they pride themselves for their liberalism (人文自由主义) about what willing adults do with one another, have been slow to permit willing adults to marry each other at a rate more than one at a time. What business is it of the states how many people I marry? And by the way, if one can enter into a common law marriage by living with someone for seven years, can one enter into a common law polygamy by living with two? I'd love to see that test case. But what would it really be like to have multiple spouses? Most men I've asked answer immediately with a knowing smile. And those are the intelligent ones. Their minds immediately create an image something like a sexual (性的) version (看法) of a Hong Kong Sunday lunch, with many dishes to taste. In truth, the idea scares me. I spend half my waking hours trying to deal with my childish consciousness to the civilized state known as marriage. It's only by total luck I can hold on to any of my natural state-of-nature qualities—watching violent movies, eating bad food, and acting poorly, the way that men can act poorly when free from the control of women. What if I were outnumbered? Then there's the spectre (幻影，魔鬼) of a double settlement (解决) if the woman leaves. Modern marriage might be a raw deal for women, but it can be hell (地狱) on men when women leave.

Little wonder that men, who write the laws, discourage polygamy. But then again, Mark Twain might have been right; maybe it was just the mother-in-law jokes. 46. What does the word "polygamy" most probably mean in the first sentence? C A. Funny stories. B. Interesting events. C. Having more than one wife at the same time. D. Organizing a social act. 47. According to the passage, which one of the following statements is true? D A. In the 19th century, polygamy was considered a regular practice. B. Young's wives were all very beautiful and attractive. C. Polygamy began in the 1800s. D. Some people think that polygamy is a good idea. 48. The author thinks that the government ____B__________. A. should stop polygamy and promote monogamy (一夫一妻制) B. should not stop polygamy while promoting monogamy C. should establish laws against polygamy D. should stop both monogamy and polygamy 49. Which one of the following statements is true according to the passage? B A. Most men welcome the idea of polygamy out of curiosity. B. Most men like to have more than one wife for sexual purposes. C. Most women do not like the idea of polygamy. D. The author thinks that polygamy is needed for the modern world. 50. What does the phrase "a raw deal" mean in the last paragraph? A A. A new experience. B. An unfair treatment. C. An activity which is not agreed on. D. A heavy blow.

Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 1) Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the same passage or dialog. In the United States, work is influenced by laws. Laws affect how long people work, what they are paid, and the conditions under which they work. To see how important work laws are, just look back to the year 1900. At that time, there were few laws about working conditions. In those days, people would work for months and then find that the money they made had been cut. If they complained, they were fired. If they became sick, it was just too bad. There were no paid sick days and no health plans. Some factories at that time were dark, crowded, and generally awful places to work in. People in these factories worked 12-to-18-hour shifts, 6 days a week for very little money. Most of the workers were women and children. In those days, women were generally paid half of what men were paid for doing exactly the same work. Children were given even less, so naturally, factory owners preferred hiring children. There were no health or safety laws to protect the workers. People fainted from the heat and lack of air. It took a very sad event to start getting changes. That sad event was the Triangle Fire. In 1911, the Triangle Building in New York City caught fire. The building was a dangerous place. Still, 145 people would not have died if the factory owner had not locked the doors. He did not want his workers to waste time by going outside to rest, so he locked them in. During the fire, a number of young women jumped out of the windows and died on the street. The others died inside. As a result, some important safety and health laws were passed. Now there are also laws to prevent child labor and laws to make sure that there is equal pay for equal work. Among other things, there is a limit to the number of hours in the workday and there is a minimum amount that workers must be paid. 46. In America, __________C_______. A. laws have little influence on work B. people couldn't work without laws C. people couldn't work without laws D. people can change laws easily 47. In the old days, if workers made complaints, they would ___C________. A. have their health plans taken away

B. find their money cut C. lose their jobs D. be given terrible places to work 48. Factory owners preferred hiring children because __D___________. A. children eat less B. they could manage children better C. children could do adults' work D. they paid children much less money 49. Some changes took place as a result of ______C_______. A. a traffic accident B. a serious disease C. the death of many workers in a fire D. a strike by the workers 50. Now there are laws for all of the following except _____A______. A. allowing workers to take holidays B. preventing children from being employed C. making sure that there is equal pay for equal work D. limiting work hours Questions 51 to 55 are based on the same passage or dialog. Failure to take time to plan and prepare is one of the major mistakes committed by sales negotiators (谈判). Related to this is weak information gathering. Neither your information gathering nor your planning can be effective without first engaging in negotiation with yourself or within your company, i.e., the agreements that may be necessary before negotiation with the customer. Once your face-to-face negotiating begins, any number of factors can influence the result. Going forth with a rigid mind-set (心态), giving concessions (让步) too early, answering too quickly to each demand, not calling time-out, and not putting yourself into the customer's shoes, are common mistakes in many sales negotiations. Finally, not being careful during the follow-through results in a lack of success even in an effective negotiation. Let us take the case of Ted Jeffries, a newly appointed sales representative for a maker of kitchen equipment. His main line is prefabricated (预制的) ovens. In addition to building additional sales with existing buyers, he is responsible for finding new buyers in some rapidly growing areas. Ted had been very effective with a previous company selling a line of building supplies to buyers by telephone. So he is not without some experience. He has some very positive selling strengths and he is doing reasonably well in closing some early sales. But he is beginning to find that some sales come at a "higher price" than others. Let's see what seems to be his problem. Ted is making his first call to long-time buyers, Lexington Kitchens. He hopes to renegotiate (重新谈判) the buying agreement with Ms. Sue Parker, manager of Lexington. 51. According to the passage, what must be done before a sales negotiator (谈判者) works with his customer? D A. Information gathering. B. Planning for the negotiation with the customer.

C. Visiting his customers frequently. D. Reaching an agreement within the sales network. 52. Which of the following is NOT listed as one of the mistakes that a sales negotiator tends to make? D A. Not flexible (灵活机动的) enough. B. Giving in to customers' demands too easily. C. Not being aware of the proper time to stop negotiating for the moment. D. Not leaving enough time to the other party for thinking about the purchase. 53. According to the passage, what is a sales negotiator advised to do after an effective negotiation? B A. Prepare for the next negotiation immediately. B. Spend some time on follow-up activities. C. Hold a celebration to encourage himself. D. Call the buyer immediately to express gratitude for their purchase. 54. Which of the following statements about Ted is true? A A. He is a salesperson with a fair amount of experience. B. He used to work for a maker of kitchen equipment and did his job well. C. His job is to deal with their customers. D. He is now selling building supplies to buyers. 55. What might follow in Ted's story? C A. Ted will contact customers to find out some problems. B. Ted will demand all buyers sell their products at the same prices. C. Ted will negotiate with Ms. Sue Parker about the buying agreement. D. Ted will choose Lexington Kitchens as their sole buyer. Questions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog. Television carries more national advertising than any other medium in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries, (Sweden and Denmark, for example) the state-owned television accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial (商业广告) time is very much limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Russian state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988. The chief reason that television is so well liked among United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For companies that must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of their benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising. Because it employs motion as well as words, pictures, sounds, and music, television is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is as effective in showing how quickly an automobile can move or how well a certain type of wristwatch will stand up under heavy use and continue to run. In the same way, it is an ideal medium for showing how

some products can make a person feel better about him- or herself, such as long-distance telephone calls. 56. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? C A. There is less advertising on TV in Spain than in Sweden. B. One can never see any commercial on TV in Denmark since it is not accepted at all. C. The amount of commercial time is very much limited in most European countries. D. French people don't have to worry about being troubled by commercials. 57. According to the passage, what is the main reason United States advertisers like television so much? C A. It communicates information more quickly. B. Every household has at least one TV set. C. It communicates information to a vast number of people at the same time. D. American people love watching TV more than reading. 58. The word prospects in the 2nd paragraph means _____A________. A. potential customers B. competitors C. working staff at TV stations D. partners 59. Which of the following is employed in TV advertising? A. Motion B. Sounds and music. C. Pictures D. All of the above. D

60. Which of the following statements is true? B A. Television is as efficient as newspaper in demonstration benefits of a certain product or service. B. Television is a valuable medium in demonstrating benefits of a certain product or service. C. TV commercials can hardly help to communicate feelings. D. People use advertising on TV whenever necessary because of its effectiveness.

Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 1) Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the same passage or dialog. Coffee is one of the most popular (流行的) drinks throughout the world today. In fact, according to some estimates, over 30% of all adults in the world drink coffee at least once a day on the average. Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine is a chemical that stimulates (刺 激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake-at least for a short time―because of this stimulating effect on the nervous system (系统). A cup of coffee has, on the average, about 3% caffeine in it. One story of the discovery of the coffee plant relates to this effect of caffeine. According to the story, coffee was discovered in East Africa. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi. This was about the year 850. Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way. Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans (豆荚) that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the stimulating effect of the beans. Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village, where he told his story. The green bean got the name "Kaffa" and later "coffee" because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa. Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy to do their work. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. If the beans were dried and stored, they could be used at any time. 46. What is caffeine? C A. A kind of seed. B. A kind of plant. C. A kind of drug.

47.

48.

49.

50.

D. A kind of nut. What is the purpose of drinking coffee? A A. To become more awake. B. To become more healthy. C. To become more happy. D. To become more clever. Coffee was first found by a ______B____. A. doctor B. farmer C. druggist（药剂师） D. chemist（化学家） How did the goats react after eating the plants? C A. They fell asleep. B. They could not find their way home. C. They started jumping up and down. D. They wanted to eat more. Why did the green bean get the name "Kaffa"? C A. Because Kaldi loved his home village very much. B. Because Kaldi's goats loved the green bean very much. C. Because the beans were discovered in a place by this name. D. Because the beans could be picked and dried.

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the same passage or dialog. A little noticed change has been taking place in our time-world. The arrival of digital (数字的) time has been changing the way we act and think. I believe that it has put us to a higher level of anxiety, with greater expectations of efficiency. The old, round, hand-moved time still kept a certain connection to the natural flow of things, to the roundness of the earth, and to the changes of light and seasons. Old, round time was outside ourselves, far enough removed from us so we could ignore it if we so chose. It is not so with digital time, which is a beat. It beats instead of turning. It makes a sound like the sound of the heart and thus places itself smoothly into the body. More and more, we mistake its regular beat for our own, thus mistaking the demands of the world for our wishes. Before wrist watches, time used to live in towers in the centers of towns. At that distance, it could be seen by everybody, but only if they so wished. It took an effort, an actual visit to "time". But then something happened. Time began to live with us, and now it is beginning to live in us. I remember what it was like to be a child, absorbed in the endlessly changeable thing of time. For me there was only child time, divided meaninglessly and quite painfully by the orders of the parents into Bedtime, Wakeup Time, and School Time. But within each of those divisions (分割), Eternity still ruled. Later, of course, they managed to infect me with the anxious demands of clock time. Very soon, all that remained was the anxiety of that which was exact. The fast beats of the timepiece (时钟) cut Eternity to pieces. Occasionally, I stop long enough to recall the times of childhood, but not often enough. Like everybody else, I am helpless before the new technologies. Time is a virus, and it is growing stronger.

51. Digital time has changed how we act and think by ________C____________. A. allowing us to work with more efficiency B. giving us more time to do what we like C. causing us to be more anxious D. having us expect more of others 52. The author thinks that the old clocks _____________A_______. A. are somehow linked with the seasonal changes B. stay closer to people than a digital watch C. are connected with human's hands D. work better than a wrist watch 53. Before watches, clocks were located _________D_________. A. everywhere for everyone to see B. wherever a person wished C. on the wrist D. in the center of town 54. In the author's early childhood memory, _______B__________. A. time was a concrete thing B. time seemed to have no end C. he fought against his parents' idea of time D. he enjoyed the anxiety of precision (精确) 55. The author's attitude towards time in the modern world is _____C_______. A. positive B. unclear C. negative D. in the middle Questions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog. Being a man has always been dangerous. There are about 105 males born for every 100 females. However, this number changes a great deal, and by the age of maturity (成熟), the number of young men is about the same as that of young women. And among 70-year old people, there are twice as many women as men. But this great universal (普遍性) truth is changing. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that for the first time there will be too many boys in those crucial (至关紧要的) years when boys are searching for a mate. What is even more troubling is that the survival of so many boys has removed a chance for natural selection (选择) to do its work. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the difference in weight is due to genes (基因), a force of change has gone. There is another way to commit evolutionary (进化的) suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Except in some religious communities, very few women have 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of children. Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have disappeared. For us, this means that people will no longer experience the physical changes that other living things do; our bodies are as perfect as they are ever going to be. Strangely, we have been able to

make great advancements without physical change. In the past 100,000 years—even the past 100 years—our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We managed to make such changes because of technology and social systems. Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of the process of change; they "look at living beings like a dog looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond their comprehension." No doubt we will be shocked at the ugliness of the 20th century way of life. But however amazed future people may be at how far from perfection we were, those future people will look just like us. 56. According to the author, what was the danger a man had to face in the past? C A. Lack of mates. B. Strong competition. C. Lower chance of living to maturity. D. Genes. 57. The sentence "There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide" perhaps means _________________C______________________. A. there is another way to stop the society from making progress B. you can kill yourself by another means C. there is another factor to prevent us from evolving D. we have to find a way to do something 58. Women except _______B________ are having relatively small numbers of children. A. those who live to be very old B. those who live in religious communities C. those who have the advantage of technology D. those who live in poor countries 59. The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because ______________A______________. A. life has been improved by technological advancement B. the number of female babies has been declining C. we have reached the highest stage of evolution D. the difference between wealth and poverty (贫穷) is disappearing 60. What is this passage mainly about? D A. The change in the numbers of boys and girls. B. Ways of continuing man's evolution. C. The evolution future of nature. D. Human evolution going nowhere.

Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 1) Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the same passage or dialog. 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 "Bingo". He 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 "buy him" to get into his own house! He spent such a large part of his money to keep Bingo supplied with chocolate that in the end he had to move somewhere else. 46. Albert had been living in the same district for _______D______________. A. many weeks B. under twenty years C. all his life D. more than twenty years 47.

Albert had to call the police to take him away Questions 51 to 55 are based on the same passage or dialog. 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. 51. According to the passage, Tonga is ___C_____.

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 52. 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.

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. 54. 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. 55. This passage is most probably taken from ___A______. 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 Questions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog. In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the warmer southern Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about a half a dozen create the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that can cause great harm, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people. The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling winds hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. As they travel aimlessly over water warmed by the summer sun, they are carried westward by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm, wet air flows in at the bottom of these winds, moves upward through it, and comes out at the top. In the process, the water in this warm air produces rain. And the heat is changed to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young storm begins to move in circles, turning in the direction opposite to the movement of a clock's hands. The average life of a strong storm of this type is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat given by a great storm's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not A C

wind, is the main source of death and damage in a great storm. One of these storms usually brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea—the mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure storm center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore. 56. This passage describes _____D_____. A. the growth of great storms B. the damage caused by great storms C. the average life of a great storm D. All of the above 57. The powerful storms described in this passage have winds that move at ____A______. A. 75 miles per hour or more B. less than 75 miles per hour C. half a dozen miles per hour D. 75 miles per hour 58. According to the passage, the growth of a great storm goes through the following steps: A A. small winds—trade winds—air flows—wet air—rain—heat—strong wind B. wet air—trade winds—strong wind—rain—warm winds—heat—air flows C. small winds—wet air—trade wind—strong wind—air flows—heat—rain D. wet air—trade wind—strong wind—heat—air flows—small winds—rain 59. According to the passage, the energy in the heat given by a great storm's rainfall in a single day would _______________B________________. A. destroy half of the farmlands in the United States within one hour B. provide electrical power to the U. S. for more than half a year C. supply water to the United States for more than six months D. flood the Unites States for six months 60. The greatest cause of death and damage in a great storm is ___A___________. A. water B. wind C. heat D. air flows

Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 1) Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the same passage or dialog. In the United States, it is not normal to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p. m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important role. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation (邀请) to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. To be on time is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not on time, they may be regarded as not polite or not fully responsible. In the US no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour; it would be bad-mannered. A person who is five minutes late is expected to apologize. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

46. If you telephone someone early in the day, it means __________D_________. A. you are expected to explain why B. you are not kind enough C. you want to show your concern for him D. you have a very important matter to discuss 47. The expression "a matter of life and death" means ____________A______. A. an issue of the greatest importance and emergency B. a very important appointment C. a matter of whether someone should live or die D. a strong desire to communicate 48. In the US guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded ________A_______. A. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended early enough B. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended too far in advance C. if the invitation to a dinner party is not extended repeatedly D. if the invitation to a dinner party is extended to too many people 49. The word "misunderstanding" can be explained as ___B_________. A. failing to attend a party B. failing to understand correctly C. standing in one's way D. standing on one's own feet 50.

In the US it's not polite to keep someone waiting for an hour. C. In the US one is always expected to be on time. D. In the US one is expected to apologize if he is five minutes late Questions 51 to 55 are based on the same passage or dialog. Ours is a big world, and full of many different people. People with many varying (不同的) points of view are often running up against others who have different opinions. Those of us who smoke are just one group of many. Recently, the activism (采取行动) of non-smokers has reminded us of the need to be considerate (体谅的) of others when we smoke in public. But, please! Enough is enough! We should like to remind non-smokers that being polite is a two-way street. If you politely request that someone not smoke you are more likely to receive an agreeable response than if you give an ugly look and say something unkind. If you speak directly to someone, you are more likely to get what you want than if you complain to the management. Many of us have been smoking for so long that we sometimes forget that others are not used to the smell of burning tobacco. We' re human, and like everyone else, we occasionally offend unknowingly. But most of us are open to friendly suggestions and comments, and quite willing to change our behavior to accommodate others. Smokers are people, too. We laugh and cry. We have hopes, dreams, and aspirations. We have children, mothers, and pets. We eat our hamburgers (汉堡包) with everything on them and give respect to the flag at Fourth of July picnics. We hope you'll remember that the next time a smoker light up in public.

51. The purpose of the first paragraph is _D_____. A. to inform the reader of the bigness of the world B. to declare that the author belongs to the group of smokers C. to tell non-smokers that smokers will be considerate D. to reveal the author's reason for writing this essay 52. What does the second sentence in the second paragraph imply? C A. We should go on two different roads. B. We have different ways of doing things. C. Being polite to each other is a mutual thing. D. We can smoke and sometimes we will not smoke. 53. According to the author, how can you get an agreeable response from smokers if you don't feel like someone smoking beside you? D A. Complain to his boss. B. Tell him directly that you hate smokers. C. Keep from complaining but do something to suggest your feelings. D. Tell him politely that you are not used to smoke. 54. According to the author, why do some smokers smoke in public? B A. Because they cannot stop from smoking. B. Because they forget that others do not like the smell cigarettes. C. Because they are humans and they cannot avoid offending people. D. Because there is no law against it. 55. How does the author try to persuade the reader? B A. He uses reasons. B. He appeals to people's feelings. C. He gives examples in his argument. D. He simply states his opinion. Questions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog. If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are aging unnecessarily soon. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of aging could be slowed down. With a team of colleagues (同事) at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain activity of a thousand people of different ages and varying (不同的) jobs. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the activity of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and feeling, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not change with age, and one can continue living without the ability to think and feel.) Change of front and side parts, as bits die off, was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not to be seen in some sixty-and-seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa discovered from his tests that there is a simple answer to the loss normally associated with age?using the head.

The findings show in general terms that the decrease of the brain's ability to think begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. Matsuzawa's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must move around properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain needs. "The best way to keep blood moving well is through using the brain." He says, "Think hard and engage in conversation. Don't rely on pocket calculators." 56. The team of doctors wanted to find out ______________A___________. A. why certain people age sooner than others B. how to make people live longer C. the size of certain people's brains D. which people are most intelligent 57. Which of the following statements is true? B A. People who work in the government don't age as quickly as people in the town. B. The back of the brain is in charge of people's eating. C. The easiest way to prevent the brain from aging is to improve our diet. D. We are young when we have enough physical exercise. 58. The doctor's tests show that _______________D______________. A. our brains shrink as we grow older B. the front section of the brain does not shrink C. sixty-year-olds have better brains than thirty-year-olds D. some people's brains less active than other people's 59. According to the passage, which group of people seem to age sooner than the others? D A. Lawyers. B. Professors. C. Doctors. D. White-collar workers. 60. The article is possibly written for ______B_______________. A. junior students B. ordinary readers C. doctors and nurses in hospitals D. university professors

Part 4 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 1) Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the same passage or dialog. 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. 26. This article as a whole is about _______A___________. 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 27. While not stated in the article, you can tell that ____D______________. A. everybody who went to California got a lot of gold

The word this in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to __C________. A. California B. the discovery of gold C. many people looking for gold D. the nation at this time 29. Levi used strong blue cotton cloth to make pants because ___C_______. A. gold miners liked the blue color B. this was the only cloth he had C. miners wanted pants which could stand rough work D. cowboys liked their pants to fit tightly 30. Which of the following sentences is NOT true? B A. It was Levi who started the business of making blue jeans. B. It was one tailor who started making blue jeans. C. It was in California that blue jeans first became popular. D. It was in California that gold was discovered. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the same passage or dialog. 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. 31. According to the author, the future doesn't need _____D_______. A. creativity B. imagination C. creators D. followers 32. In the author's view, how can students learn well? D 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. 33. What does the author mean by "The changing speed of 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. 34. What does the last sentence of the passage tell us? B 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. 35. The author's attitude towards rote-learning is ____B_____. A. approving B. disapproving C. confident D. opposite to what the words say

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the same passage or dialog. If the population of the Earth goes on increasing at its present rate, there will eventually not be enough resources left to support life on the planet. One possible solution to the problem has recently been suggested by an American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan: he believes that before the Earth's resources are completely used up it will be possible to change the atmosphere (大气圈) of Venus (金星) and so create a new world almost as large as the Earth itself. The difficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the Earth and has only a tiny amount of water. Sagan suggests that algae (藻类), plant life that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be produced in conditions similar to those on Venus. The algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceships will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the gasses in the atmosphere and change them into oxygen that people can breathe. But before man can set foot on Venus, it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain to cool the planet, so that after a few years conditions like those on Earth will be produced. If the experiments are successful, life will become possible there but it will not be pleasant at first. When they go to Venus, the first citizens will have to take plenty of water with them and get used to days and nights lasting 60 Earth days. But there will also be some advantages. They will live longer because their hearts will suffer less stress than on Earth. 36. Men may eventually move to Venus because _______C_______________. A. there are many people on the Earth B. we have used too much oil and water C. the limited resources can't support life on the Earth D. people take up too much space 37. Now it is difficult for us to move to Venus because ________A______________.

A. it is too hot for men to land on B. there is no water there C. we cannot change the environment there D. it's a long distance for us to go there 38. The algae play a very important role in the possible solution because _____________D____________. A. they can be produced easily on the Earth B. there are a lot of them on Venus C. they can be easily carried to Venus D. they can live in hot and cold conditions and produce oxygen 39. The first citizens will find life on Venus not pleasant because ___B________. A. their hearts will suffer more stress B. their days and nights will last quite long C. there are not any houses there D. there is too much water there 40. One of the advantages the first citizens on Venus will enjoy is ___C________. A. they will have much more space B. they won't suffer from heart disease C. their life will last longer D. they will have better living conditions

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the same passage or dialog. Open or distance learning has had a major effect on higher education through the Open University, the only university to provide education exclusively for adult learners studying at a distance. Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate (大学本科在校的) students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities. The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come down this might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future. 26. The Open University provides an education for _____C___________. A. students who do not like attending regular universities B. students who failed the College Entrance Examination C. students who are adults and away from a university D. students who are limited in their ability to learn 27. Among other things, the further growth of distance learning at postgraduate and professional levels is limited by ___________A_________.

A. the high costs involved B. a low student demand C. a lack of education D. the poor rural technology 28. The attempt of one case study university to provide equipment and staff to a rural group of students ____A_____. A. would be expanded B. did not work well C. might help learning D. could cost a lot 29. The cost of setting up a distance learning program might change _____D_________. A. as new developments are made B. as more students take classes there C. as the Open University helps more D. as technology becomes cheaper 30. The tone of this passage can best be described as _______B_________. A. discouraging B. encouraging C. persuasive D. scientific Questions 31 to 35 are based on the same passage or dialog. 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. 31. The effect of increased communication technology is ______A______. 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 32. If his mom has a question, he will _____D_______. 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 33. Judging from the context, the word "alienation" (Line 2, Paragraph 2) means ___C________. A. relationship B. closeness C. strangeness D. stress 34. ATMs in banks have changed life by _____D_____. 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 35. The writer's attitude toward advances in communications technology may be described as _________B______. A. unconcerned B. critical C. positive D. uninterested

There were days in which Danny could forget that he had graduated from Boston University. After 17 years of education in the finest schools in America, he couldn't repair a burnt connection in his car or locate a carburetor (化油器). Danny is an educated man. He is a master of writing papers, taking tests, talking, and filling out forms. He can discuss Freud from a Marxian viewpoint and he can discuss Marx from a Freudian viewpoint. In short, Danny is a worker without skills, and he has a sociology degree to prove it. He is of very little use to American industry. This is nothing new. Colleges have been turning out workers of this sort for decades. Until five years ago, most of these workers took their degrees in sociology, philosophy, political science, or

history, and marched right into the American middle class. Some found work in business and government but many, if not most, went into education, which is the only thing they knew anything about. Once there, they taught another generation the skills necessary to take tests and write papers. But the cycle broke down. There are too many teachers these days, college applications are down, plumbers are making $ 12 an hour, and graduates with degrees in fields like sociology are faced with a choice: graduate school or drive a taxi. Danny chose the taxi because driving was about the only skill he had that he could make money with. Danny refers to his job as "Real World 101". He has been beaten and shot at. But he has also acquired some practical skills: he can get his tickets fixed; he knows how to cheat the company out of a few extra dollars a week; he found his carburetor, and he can fix it. 41. What did Danny's schooling teach him? A. How to repair cars. B. How to make choices. C. How to write papers. D. How to teach classes. C

42. Five years ago, a college degree ensured ______C________. A. a position doing graduate studies B. a skilled job for college graduates C. a place in the American middle class D. a set of skills that was very useful 43. What is causing the system of college study to break down? A. There are better jobs to be had. B. There are not enough students. C. There are too many teachers. D. There are few good jobs for us. C

44. Why did Danny choose to drive a taxi after he graduated from college? A. He wanted to get more true experience in society. B. He wanted to learn the new skill of repairing cars. C. Taxi drivers can earn more than middle class people. D. He had no other skill to support himself but driving. 45. Though his job is difficult and dangerous, Danny ______B_________. A. has begun to enjoy his new job B. has learned skills that are useful C. has finally forgotten his old life D. has learned more than in college

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the same passage or dialog. Sylvester and I are watching television advertisements because we need information for a class

research project. We have to discuss realism and dreams in television advertising, and so we are looking for examples of things that are not true in television advertisements. The question we are asking is, "Is the advertisement true to life, or does it offer an unreal picture of the product?" Sylvester is keeping track of the lies, and he already has quite a long list. He says that all housewives seem to live in lovely homes, dress beautifully, and love their household chores. They smile and boast about floor cleaners and proudly display their dirty clothes, dirty tabletops, and dirty children. In addition, he has never seen men doing housework. Sylvester thinks that this view of family life is filled with things that are not true. I am keeping track of the people who appear in the advertisements. I have found handsome men chasing after beautiful women, and they are always recommending brand X toothpaste or brand Y cologne (科隆香水). I see teenagers and children with their friends, having wonderful time at parties and at school, and they are usually enjoying large, happy family gatherings. I think that these advertisements are also filled with things that aren't true. Sylvester and I have discovered that much of American life is pictured unrealistically on television. Teenagers do not always have fun at parties, and very few people love doing chores. People do have problems but few of these are ever shown in advertisements. Instead, we watch Cinderella discover a miracle floor cleaner, finish the kitchen chores, and waltz off to the ball. Our heads are filled with these dreams, and they also suggest that, for any problem, brand Z will provide the instant cure. Sylvester and I will have very few facts and a lot of dreams to write about in our research reports. 46. Why are the speaker and Sylvester watching television? A. They are looking for good products. B. They are trying to be like TV people. C. They are interested in advertising. D. They are doing a school project. 47. What are they trying to find out about TV advertisements? A. Whether they tell the truth about life. B. Whether they have both men and women. C. Whether they show a good way to live. D. Whether they are fair to women and men. 48. What does the author think about how teenagers are shown? A. It is incomplete. B. It is unrealistic. C. It is true to life. D. It is too boring. D
