Part II                               Reading Comprehension                        (35 minutes)

Direction:      There are 4 passages in this part. Eachpassage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each ofthem there are four choices marked A), B) C) and D). You should decide on thebest choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a singleline through the center.

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on thefollowing passage:

      Navigation computers, now sold by mostcar-makers, cost $2,000 and up. No surprise, then, that they are most oftenfound in luxury cars, like Lexus, BMW and Audi. But it is a developingtechnology — meaning prices should eventually drop — and the market does seem tobe growing.

      Even at current prices, a navigationcomputer is impressive. It can guide you from point to point in most majorcities with precise turn-by-turn directions — spoken by a clear human- soundingvoice, and written on a screen in front of the driver.

      The computer works with an antenna (天线) that takes signals from no fewerthan three of the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites. By measuringthe time required for a signal to travel between the satellites and theantenna, the car’s location can be pinned down within 100 meters.

      The satellite signals, along with inputson speed from a wheel-speed sensor and direction from a meter, determine thecar’s position even as it moves. This information is combined with a mapdatabase. Streets, landmarks and points of interest are included.

      Most systems are basically identical. Thedifferences come in hardware — the way the computer accepts the driver’srequest for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions. Onmost systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point ofinterest via a touch screen or disc. But the Lexus screen goes a step further:you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it.

      BMW’s system offers a set of cross hairs (瞄准器上的十字纹) that can be moved across themap (you have several choices of map scale) to pick a point you’d like to getto. Audi’s screen can be switched to TV reception.

      Even the voices that recite the directionscan differ, with better systems like BMW’s and Lexus’s having a widervocabulary. The instructions are available in French, German, Spanish, Dutchand Italian, as well as English. The driver can also choose parameters fordetermining the route: fastest, shortest or no freeways (高速公路), for example.

21.   Welearn from the passage that navigation computers ________.

       A)will greatly promote sales of automobiles

       B)may help solve potential traffic problems

       C)are likely to be accepted by more drivers

       D)wills soon be viewed as a symbol of luxury

22.   With a navigationcomputer, a driver will easily find the best route to his destination ________.

       A)by inputting the exact address

       B)by indicating the location of his car

       C)by checking his computer database

       D)by giving vocal orders to the computer

23.   Despitetheir varied designs, navigation computers used in cars ________.

       A)are more or less the same price

       B)provide directions in much the same way

       C)work on more or less the same principles

       D)receive instructions from the same satellites

24.   Thenavigation computer functions ________.

       A)by means of a direction finder and a speed detector

       B)basically on satellite signals and a map database

       C)mainly through the reception of turn-by-turn directions

       D)by using a screen to display satellite signals

25.   The navigation systems incars like Lexus, BMW and Audi are mentioned to show ________.

       A)the immaturity of the new technology

       B)the superiority of the global positioning system

       C)the cause of price fluctuations in car equipment

       D)the different ways of providing guidance to the driver

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on thefollowing passage:

      “The world’s environment is surprisinglyhealthy. Discuss.” If that were an examination topic, most students would tearit apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog (烟雾) to global climate change, fromthe felling (砍伐) of foreststo the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concernlegitimate. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks wouldactually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how goodthings are, not how bad.

      After all, the world’s population has morethan tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so youwould expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived,consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or 1950, orindeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly,dirty, toxic and dangerous.

      But they don’t. The reasons why they don’t,and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices,technological innovation, social change and government regulation in responseto popular pressure. That is why today’s environmental problems in the poorcountries ought, in principle, to be solvable.

      Raw materials have not run out, and showno sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finiteplace. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened isthat every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and,in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find waysto use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reasonprices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms during the century.The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, naturaldisasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some timebefore new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted bynew farming and crop technology. The long- term trend has been downwards.

      It is where prices and markets do notoperate properly that this benign (良性的) trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise. Marketscannot always keep the environment healthy. If no one owns the resourceconcerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it: fish is thebest example of this.

26.   Accordingto the author, most students ________.

       A)believe the world’s environment is in an undesirable condition

       B)agree that the environment of the world is not as bad as it is thought to be

       C)get high marks for their good knowledge of the world’s environment

       D)appear somewhat unconcerned about the state of the world’s environment

27.   Thehuge increase in world production and population ________.

       A)has made the world a worse place to live in

       B)has had a positive influence on the environment

       C)has not significantly affected the environment

       D)has made the world a dangerous place to live in

28.   One of the reasons whythe long-term trend of prices has been downwards is that ________.

       A)technological innovation can promote social stability

       B)political instability will cause consumption to drop

       C)new farming and crop technology can lead to overproduction

       D)new sources are always becoming available

29.   Fishresources are diminishing because ________.

       A)no new substitutes can be found in large quantities

       B)they are not owned by any particular entity

       C)improper methods of fishing have ruined the fishing grounds

       D)water pollution is extremely serious

30.   Theprimary solution to environmental problems is ________.

       A)to allow market forces to operate properly

       B)to curb consumption of natural resources

       C)to limit the growth of the world population

       D)to avoid fluctuations in prices

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on thefollowing passage:

      About the time that schools and othersquite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatevertheir background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.

      Some thought it was unfair to minoritychildren. Through the past few decades such testing has gone out of fashion andmany communities have indeed forbidden it.

      However, paradoxically, just recently agroup of black parents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the state’s ban on IQ testingdiscriminates against their children by denying them the opportunity to takethe test. (They believed, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method ofevaluating children for special education classes.) The judge, therefore,reversed, at least partially, his original decision.

      And so the argument goes on and on. Doesit benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligencetested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even facilitating, suchtesting. If a child of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems tous very important to know whether it is because he or she is of lowintelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.

      What school and family can do to improvepoor performance is influenced by its cause. It is not discriminative toevaluate either a child’s physical condition or his intellectual level.

      Unfortunately, intellectual level seems tobe a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time totime. The same fluctuation back and forth occurs in areas other thanintelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families wereencouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to doso.

      And then the style changed and thiscross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and social agencies felt thatblack children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what are thebest procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.

      As to intelligence, in our opinion, themore we know about any child’s intellectual level, the better for the child in question.

31.   Whydid the intelligence test become unpopular in the past few decades?

       A)Its validity was challenged by many communities.

       B)It was considered discriminative against minority children.

       C)It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents.

       D)It deprived the black children of their rights to a good education.

32.   Therecent legal action taken by some black parents in California aimed to ________.

       A)draw public attention to IQ testing

       B)put an end to special education

       C)remove the state’s ban on intelligence tests

       D)have their children enter white schools

33.   Theauthor believes that intelligence testing ________.

       A)may ease racial confrontation in the United States

       B)can encourage black children to keep up with white children

       C)may seriously aggravate racial discrimination in the United States

       D)can help black parents make decisions abut their children’s education

34.   Theauthor’s opinion of child adoption seems to be that ________.

       A)no rules whatsoever can be prescribed

       B)white families should adopt black children

       C)adoption should be based on IQ test results

       D)cross-racial adoption is to be advocated

35.   Childadoption is mentioned in the passage to show that ________.

       A)good will may sometimes complicate racial problems

       B)social surroundings are vital to the healthy growth of children

       C)intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areas

       D)American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issues

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on thefollowing passage:

      Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious”both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changedpeople’s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kin (亲戚) and neighbors, and substitutedin their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However,in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious” isnot true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know asmaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of asmaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significantconsequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of yourneighbors you will know no one else.

      Even in very large cities, people maintainclose social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number andquality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urbanpeople. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-cityresidents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with peoplewho share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a differentstyle of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city.Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychologicalsymptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than areresidents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more aboutcrime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.

      These findings do not imply that urbanismmakes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, theyare less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door orkeep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, as Wirth suggested, theremay be a link between a community’s population size and its socialheterogeneity (多样性). Forinstance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community isassociated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-cityurbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have acosmopolitan (见多识广者的)outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to votefor leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditionalreligious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables.Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomesof large population size.

36.   Which of the followingstatements best describes the organization of the first paragraph?

       A)Two contrasting views are presented.

       B)An argument is examined and possible solutions given.

C) Researchresults concerning the quality of urban life are presented in order of time.

D) A detaileddescription of the difference between urban and small-town life is given.

37.   According to the passage,it was once a common belief that urban residents ________.

       A)did not have the same interests as their neighbors

       B)could not develop long-standing relationships

       C)tended to be associated with bad behavior

       D)usually had more friends

38.   One of the consequencesof urban life is that impersonal relationships among neighbors ________.

       A)disrupt people’s natural relations

       B)make them worry about crime

       C)cause them not to show concern for one another

       D)cause them to be suspicious of each other

39.   Itcan be inferred from the passage that the bigger a community is, ________.

       A)the better its quality of life

       B)the more similar its interests

       C)the more tolerant and open-minded it is

       D)the likelier it is to display psychological symptoms of stress

40.   Whatis the passage mainly about?

       B)Advantages of living in big cities as compared with living in small town.

       C)The positive role that urbanism plays in modern life.

       D)The strong feeling of alienation of city inhabitants.
