Part II                               Reading Comprehension                        (35 minutes)

Directions:     There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

      It was the worst tragedy in maritime (航海的)history, six times more deadly than the Titanic.

      When the German cruise shipWilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes (鱼雷)fired from a Russian submarine in the final winter of World War II, more than10,000 people - mostly women, children  and old people fleeing the finalRed Army push into Nazi Germany - were packed aboard. An ice storm had turnedthe decks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into thesea as the ship tilted and began to go down. Others desperately tried to putlifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had thestrength to try to claw their way aboard. Most people froze immediately. Tllnever forget the screams," says Christa Ntitzmann, 87, one of the  1,200survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its darkgrave - and into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than half acentury.

      Now Germany's Nobel Prize-winningauthor Gtinter Grass has revived the memory of the 9,000 dead, including morethan 4,000 children - with his latest novel Crab Walk, published last month. The book, which will be out in English next year, doesn't dwell onthe sinking; its heroine is a pregnant young woman who survives the catastropheonly to say later: "Nobody wanted to hear  about it, not here in theWest (of Germany)and not at all in the East." The reason was obvious. As Grass put it in arecent interview with the weekly Die Woche: "Because the crimes we Germansare responsible for were and are so dominant, we didn't have the energy left totell of our own sufferings.''

      The long silence about thesinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable - and necessary. Byunreservedly owning up to their country's monstrous crimes in the Second WorldWar, Germans have managed to win acceptance abroad, marginalize (使...不得势) the neo- Nazisat home and make peace with their neighbors. Today's unified Germany is moreprosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. For that,a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the GermanTitanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the most politicallycorrect Germans believe that they' ye now earned the right to discuss the fullhistorical record. Not to equate German suffering with that of its victims, butsimply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.

21.  Whydoes the author say the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was the worst tragedyin maritime history?

      A) It was attacked by Russian torpedoes.

      B) Most of its passengers were frozen todeath.

      C) Its victims were mostly women andchildren.

      D) It caused the largest number ofcasualties.

22.  Hundreds of families dropped into the sea when

      A) a strong ice storm tilted the ship

      B) the cruise ship sank all of a sudden

      C) the badly damaged ship leaned towardone side

      D) the frightened passengers foughtdesperately for lifeboats

23.  TheWilhelm Gustloff tragedy was little talked about for more than half a centurybecause Germans

      A) were eager to win internationalacceptance

      B) felt guilty for their crimes in WorldWar II

      C) ad been pressured to keep silent aboutit

      D) were afraid of offending theirneighbors

24.  How does Gunter Grass revive the memory of theWilhelm Gustloff tragedy?

      A) By presenting the horrible scene of thetorpedo attack.

      B) By describing the ship's sinking ingreat detail.

      C) By giving an interview to the weeklyDie Woche.

      D) By depicting the survival of a youngpregnant woman.

25.  It can be learned from the passage thatGermans no longer think that

      A) they will be misunderstood if they talkabout the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy

      B)the Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy is a reasonable price to pay for the nation's pastmisdeeds

      C) Germany is responsible for the horriblecrimes it committed in World War II

      D) it is wrong to equate their sufferingswith those of other countries

Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

         Given the lack of fitbetween gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such studentsoften have little good to say 'about their school experience. In one study of400 adul who had achieved distinction in all areas of life, researchers foundthat three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or wereunhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur Awardfor creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their precollegiateschooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs. Anecdotal (名人轶事) reportssupport this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Goldsmith, andWilliam Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did Winston Churchill, who almostfailed out of Harrow, an elite British school.About Oliver Goldsmith, one of his teachers remarked, "Never was so dull aboy." Often these children realize that they know more than theirteachers, and their teachers often feel that these children are arrogant,inattentive, or unmotivated.

         Some ofthese gifted people may have done poorly in school because their, gifts werenot scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way. But most faredpoorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found schoolunchallenging and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack of fitbetween his mind and school: "Because I had found it difficult to attendto anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult toteach." As noted earlier, gifted children of all kinds tend to bestrong-willed nonconformists. Nonconformity and stubbornness (and Yeats'slevel of arrogance and self-absorption) are likely to lead to Conflicts withteachers.

         When highlygifted students in any domain talk about what was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their familiesthan their schools or teachers. A writing prodigy (神童) studied byDavid Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by hisjournalist father than his English teacher. High-IQ children, in Australiastudied by Miraca Gross had much more positive feelings about their familiesthan their schools. About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloomhad little good to say about school. They all did well in school and tookhonors classes when available, and some skipped grades.

26.  The main point the author is making aboutschools is that

      A) they should satisfy the needs ofstudents from different family backgrounds

      B) they are often incapable of catering tothe needs of talented students

      C) they should organize their classesaccording to the students' ability

      D) they should enroll as many giftedstudents as possible

27.  The author quotes the remarks of one of OliverGoldsmith's teachers

      A) to provide support for his argument

      B) to illustrate the strong will of somegifted children

      C) to explain how dull students can alsobe successful

      D) to show how poor Oliver's performancewas at school

28.  Pablo Picasso is listed among the many giftedchildren who

      A) paid no attention to their teachers inclass

      B) contradicted their teachers much toooften

      C) could not cope with their studies atschool successfully

      D) behaved arrogantly and stubbornly inthe presence of their teachers

29.  Many gifted people attributed their success.

      A) mainly to parental help and theireducation at home

      B) both to school instruction and to theirparents' coaching

      C) more to their parents' encouragementthan to school training

      D) less to their systematic education thanto their talent

30.  The root cause of many gifted students havingbad memories of their school years is that

      A) their nonconformity brought them a lotof trouble

      B) they were seldom praised by theirteachers

      C) school courses failed to inspire ormotivate them

      D) teachers were usually far stricter thantheir parents

Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage,

      When we worry about who might be spying on our private lives, we usuallythink about the Federal agents. But the private sector outdoes the governmentevery time. It's Linda Tripp, not the FBI, who is facing charges under Maryland's laws againstsecret telephone taping. It's our banks, not the Internal Revenue Service(IRS), that pass our private financial data to telemarketing fin'ms.

      Consumer activists are pressingCongress for better privacy laws without much result so far. The legislatorslean toward letting business people track our financial habits virtually atwill.

      As an example of what's goingon, consider U.S. Bancorp, which was recently sued for deceptive practices bythe state of Minnesota.According to the lawsuit, the bank supplied a telemarketer called MemberWorkswith sensitive customer data such as names,, ph'one numbers, bank-account andcredit-card numbers, Social Security numbers, account balances and creditlimits.

      With these customer lists inhand, MemberWorks started dialing for dollars - selling dental plans,videogames, computer software and other products and services. Customers whoaccepted a "free trial offer" had, 30 days to cancel. If the deadlinepassed, they were charged automatically through their bank or credit-cardaccounts. U.S. Bancorp collected a share of the revenues.

      Customers were doubly deceived,the lawsuit claims. They. didn't know that the bank was giving account numbersto MemberWorks. And if customers asked, they were led to think the answer wasno.

      The state sued MemberWorksseparately for deceptive selling. Thecompany de'hies that it did anythingwrong. For its part, U.S. Bancorp settled without admitting any mistakes. Butit agreed to stop exposing its customers to nonfinancial products sold byoutside firms. A few top banks decided to do the same. Many other banks willstill do business with MemberWorks and similar firms.

      And banks will still be miningdata from your account in order to sell you financial products, includingthings of little value, such as credit insurance and credit-card protectionplans.

      You have almost no protectionfrom businesses that use your personal accounts for profit. For example, nofederal law shields "transaction and experience" information - mainlythe details of your bank and credit-card accounts. Social Security numbers arefor sale by private fa'ms. They've generally agreed not to sell to the public.But to businesses, the numbers are an open book. Selfregulation doesn't work. Afirm might publish a privacy-protection policy, but who enforces it?

      Take U.S. Bancorp again.Customers were told, in writing, that "all personal information you supplyto us will be considered confidential." Then it sold your data toMemberWorks. The bank even claims that it doesn't "sell" your data atall. It merely "shares" it and reaps a profit. Now you know.

31.  Contrary to popular belief, the author findsthat spying on people's privacy

      A) is mainly carried out by means ofsecret taping

      B) has been intensified with the help ofthe IRS

      C) is practiced exclusively by the FBI

      D) is more prevalent in business circles

32.  We know from the passage that

      A) legislators are acting to pass a law toprovide better privacy protection

      B) most states are turning a blind eye tothe deceptive practices of private businesses

      C) the state of Minnesota is considering drawing up laws toprotect private information

      D)lawmakers are inclined to give a free hand to businesses to inquire intocustomers' buying habits

33.  Whenthe "free trial" deadline is over, you'll be charged without noticefor a product or service if

      A) you fail to cancel it within thespecified period

      B) you happen to reveal your credit cardnumber

      C) you find the product or serviceunsatisfactory

      D) you fail to apply for extension of thedeadline

34.  Businessesdo not regard information concerning personal bank accounts as private because

      A) its revelation will do no harm toconsumers under the current protection policy

      B) it is considered "transaction andexperience" information unprotected by law

      C) it has always been considered an opensecret by the general public

      D) its sale can be brought under controlthrough self-regulation

35.  We can infer from the passage that

      A) banks will have to change their ways ofdoing business

      B) privacy protection laws will soon beenforced

      C) consumers' privacy will continue to beinvaded

      D) "free trial" practice willeventually be banned

Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

     It's hardly news that the immigration system is amess. Foreign nationals have long been slipping across the border with fakepapers, and visitors who arrive in the U.S. legitimately often overstaytheir legal welcome without being punished. But since Sept. 11, it's becomeclear that terrorists have been shrewdly factoring the weaknesses of our systeminto their plans. In addition to their mastery of forging passports, at leastthree of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers (劫机者) were here on expiredvisas. That's been a safe bet until now. The Immigration and NaturalizationService (INS) ( 移民归化局 ) lacks the resources, and apparently theinclination, to keep track of the estimated 2 million foreigners who haveintentionally overstayed their welcome.

      But thislaxness (马虎) toward immigration fraud may be about to change.Congress has already taken some modest steps. The U.S.A. Patriot Act, passed inthe wake of the Sept. 11 tragedy, requires the FBI, the Justice Department, theState Department and the INS to share more data, which will make it easier tostop watch-listed terrorists at the border.

      Butwhat's really needed, critics say, is even tougher laws and more resourcesaimed at tightening up border security. Reformers are calling for a rollback ofrules that hinder law enforcement.They also want the INS to hire hundreds moreborder patrol agents and investigators to keep illegal immigrants out and totrack them down once they're here. Reformers also want to see the INS set up adatabase to monitor whether visa holders actually leave the country when theyare required to.

      Allthese proposed changes were part of a new border-security bill that passed theHouse of Representatives but died in the Senate last week. Before Sept. 11,legislation of this kind had been blocked by two powerful lobbies:universities, which rely on tuition from foreign students who could be kept outby the new law, and business, which relies on foreigners for cheap labor. Sincethe attacks, they've backed off. The bill would have passed this time but forcongressional maneuverings and is expected to be reintroduced and to pass nextyear.

      Also onthe agenda for next year: a proposal, backed by some influential law-makers, tosplit the INS into two agencies - a good cop that would tend to servicefunctions like processing citizenship papers and a bad cop that wouldconcentrate on border inspections, deportation and other functions. One reasonfor the division, supporters say, is that the INS has in recent years becometoo focused on serving tourists and immigrants. After the Sept. l 1 tragedy,the INS should pay more attention to serving the millions of ordinary Americanswho rely on the nation's border security to protect them from terroristattacks.

36.  Terrorists have obviously taken advantage of

      A) the legal privileges granted toforeigners

      B) the excessive hospitality of theAmerican people

      C) the irresponsibility of the officialsat border checkpoints

      D) the low efficiency of the Immigrationand Naturalization Service

      D). limit the number Of immigrants to the U.S.

38.  It can be inferred from the passage thatbefore Sept. 11, aliens with expired visas

      A) might have them extended withouttrouble

      B) would be closely watched by FBI agents

      C) might stay on for as long as [heywished

      D) would live in constant fear ofdeportation

39.  It is believed by many that all these yearsthe INS

      A) has been serving two contradictoryfunctions

      B) has been too liberal in granting visasto tourists and immigrants indiscriminately

      C) has over-emphasized its servicefunctions at the expense of the nation's security

      D) has ignored the pleas of the twopowerful lobbies

40.  BeforeSept. 11, the U.S. Congress had been unable to pass stricter immigration lawsbecause
