Part II                               Reading Comprehension                        (35 minutes)

Directions:     There are 4 passages inthis part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheetwith a single line through the centre.

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

       I had an experience some years ago whichtaught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worseby blaming themselves. One January, I had to officiate at two funerals onsuccessive days for two elderly women in my community. Both had died “full ofyears,” as the Bible would say; both yielded to the normal wearing out of thebody after a long and full life. Their homes happened to be near each other, soI paid condolence (吊唁) calls onthe two families on the same afternoon.

       At the first home, the son of thedeceased (已故的) woman saidto me, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this coldand snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the secondhome, the son of the other deceased woman said, “If only I hadn’t insisted onmy mother’s going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplaneride, the abrupt change of climate, was more than she could take. It’s my faultthat she’s dead.”

       When things don’t turn out as we wouldlike them to, it is very tempting to assume that had we done thingsdifferently, the story would have had a happier ending. Priests know that anytime there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course ofaction they took turned out badly, they believe that the opposite course –keeping Mother at home, postponing the operation – would have turned outbetter. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?

       There seem to be two elements involved inour readiness to feel guilt. The first is our pressing need to believe that theworld makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason foreverything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections bothwhere they really exist and where they exist only in our minds.

      Thesecond element is the notion that we are the cause of what happens, especiallythe bad things that happen. It seems to be a short step from believing thatevery event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault. Theroots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. Psychologists speak of theinfantile myth of omnipotence (万能). A babycomes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makeseverything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of theworld to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he ishungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, wedo not completely outgrow that infantile notion that our wishes cause things tohappen.

21.  What is saidabout the two deceased elderly women?

      A) They livedout a natural life.

      B) They diedof exhaustion after the long plane ride.

      C) Theyweren’t accustomed to the change in weather.

      D) They dieddue to lack of care by family members.

22.  The authorhad to conduct the two women’s funerals probably because ________.

      A) he wantedto console the two families

      B) he was anofficial from the community

      C) he hadgreat sympathy for the deceased

      D) he waspriest of the local church

23.  People feelguilty for the deaths of their loved ones because ________.

      A) theycouldn’t find a better way to express their grief

      B) theybelieve that they were responsible

      C) they hadneglected the natural course of events

      D) theydidn’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction

24.  In thecontext of the passage, “... the world makes sense” (Line 2, Para,4) probably means that ________.

      A) everythingin the world is predetermined

      B) the worldcan be interpreted in different ways

      C) there’s anexplanation for everything in the world

      D) we have tobe sensible in order to understand the world

      A) everybodyis at their command

      B) life anddeath is an unsolved mystery

      C) everystory should have a happy ending

      D) theirwishes are the cause of everything that happens

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

       Frustrated with delaysin Sacramento,Bay Area officials said Thursday they planned to take matters into their ownhands to regulate the region’s growing pile of electronic trash.

       A San Jose councilwoman and a San Franciscosupervisor said they would propose local initiatives aimed at controllingelectronic waste if the Californialaw-making body fails to act on two bills stalled in the Assembly. They areamong a growing number of Californiacities and counties that have expressed the same intention.

       Environmentalists andlocal governments are increasingly concerned about the toxic hazard posed byold electronic devices and the cost of safely recycling those products. Anestimated 6 million televisions and computers are stocked in California homes, and an additional 6,000 to7,000 computers become outdated every day. The machines contain high levels oflead and other hazardous substances, and are already banned from Californialandfills (垃圾填埋场).

       Legislation by SenatorByron Sher would require consumers to pay a recycling fee of up to $30 on everynew machine containing a cathode (阴极) ray tube.Used in almost all video monitors and televisions, those devices contain fourto eight pounds of lead each. The fees would go toward setting up recyclingprograms, providing grants to non-profit agencies that reuse the tubes andrewarding manufacturers that encourage recycling.

       A separate bill by LosAngeles-area Senator Gloria Romero would require high-tech manufacturers todevelop programs to recycle so-called e-waste.

       If passed, the measureswould put Californiaat the forefront of national efforts to manage the refuse of the electronicage.

       But high-tech groups,including the Silicon Valley Manufacturing Group and the American ElectronicsAssociation, oppose the measures, arguing that fees of up to $30 will driveconsumers to online, out-of-state retailers.

       “What really needs tooccur is consumer education. Most consumers are unaware they’re not supposed tothrow computers in the trash,” said Roxanne Gould, vice president of governmentrelations for the electronics association.

       Computer recyclingshould be a local effort and part of residential waste collection programs, sheadded.

       Recycling electronicwaste is a dangerous and specialized matter, and environmentalists maintain thestate must support recycling efforts and ensure that the job isn’t contractedto unscrupulous (毫无顾忌的) junkdealers who send the toxic parts overseas.

      “The graveyard of the high-tech revolution isending up in rural China,”said Ted Smith, director of the Silicon Valley Toxics Coalition. His group ispushing for an amendment to Sher’s bill that would prevent the export ofe-waste.

26.  What stepwere Bay Area officials going to take regarding e-waste disposal?

      A) Exertpressure on manufacturers of electronic devices.

      B) Lay downrelevant local regulations themselves.

      C) Lobby thelawmakers of the California Assembly.

      D) Rallysupport to pass the stalled bills.

27.  The two billsstalled in the California Assembly both concern ________.

      A)regulations on dumping hazardous substances into landfills

      B) the saleof used electronic devices to foreign countries

      C) thefunding of local initiatives to reuse electronic trash

      D) thereprocessing of the huge amounts of electronic waste in the state

28.  Consumers arenot supposed to throw used computers in the trash because ________.

      A) theycontain large amounts of harmful substances

      B) this isbanned by the Californiagovernment

      C) some partsmay be recycled for use elsewhere

      D)unscrupulous dealers will retrieve them for profit

29.  High-techgroups believe that if an extra $30 is charged on every TV or computerpurchased in California,consumers will _______.

      A) abandon onlineshopping

      B) buy themfrom other states

      C) stronglyprotest against such a charge

      D) hesitateto upgrade their computers

30.  We learn fromthe passage that much of California’selectronic waste has been _______.

      A) collectedby non-profit agencies

      B) dumpedinto local landfills

      C) exportedto foreign countries

      D) recycledby computer manufacturers

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

       Throughout the nation’smore than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teachingscience and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a newinternational analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributedto lackluster (平淡的) achievementscores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.

       Indeed, concludesWilliam H. Schmidt of Michigan State University,who led the new analysis, “no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educationalpractice in math or science.’’ The reason, he said, “is because the system isdeeply and fundamentally flawed.”

       The new analysis,released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va.,is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the ThirdInternational Mathematics and Science Study.

       Not only do approachesto teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds,but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district’scurricula, its textbooks, or its teachers’ activities. This contrasts sharplywith the coordinated national programs of most other countries.

       On average, U.S. studentsstudy more topics within science and math than their international counterpartsdo. This creates an educational environment that “is a mile wide and an inchdeep,” Schmidt notes.

       For instance, eighthgraders in the United Statescover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 inJapan.Among science courses, the international gap is even wider. U.S. curricula for this age level resemble thoseof a small group of countries including Australia,Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether theUnited States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems“share our pattern of splintered (支离破碎的) visions”but which are not economic leaders.

       The new report “couldn’tcome at a better time,” says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the NationalScience Teachers Association in Arlington.“The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision,”including the call “to do less, but in greater depth.”

       Implementing the newscience standards and their math counterparts will be the challenge, he andSchmidt agree, because the decentralized responsibility for education in theUnited States requires that any reforms be tailored and instituted onecommunity at a time.

      In fact, Schmidt argues, reforms such as theseproposed national standards “face an almost impossible task, because eventhough they are intellectually coherent, each becomes only one more voice inthe babble (嘈杂声).”

31.  According tothe passage, the teaching of science and math in America is ________.

      A) focused ontapping students’ potential

      B)characterized by its diversity

      C) losing itsvitality gradually

      D) goingdownhill in recent years

32.  Thefundamental flaw of American school education is that ________.

      A) it lacks acoordinated national program

      B) it sets avery low academic standard for students

      C) it reliesheavily on the initiative of individual teachers

      D) itattaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjects

33.  By sayingthat the U.S. educationalenvironment is “a mile wide and an inch deep” (Line 2, Para. 5), the authormeans U.S.educational practice ________.

      A) laysstress on quality at the expense of quantity

      B) offers anenvironment for comprehensive education

      C) encourageslearning both in depth and in scope

      D) scratchesthe surface of a wide range of topics

34.  The newNational Science Education Standards are good news in that they will ________.

      A) providedepth to school science education

      B) solve mostof the problems in school teaching

      C) be able tomeet the demands of the community

      D) quicklydominate U.S.educational practice

35.  Putting thenew science and math standards into practice will prove difficult because________.

      A) there isalways controversy in educational circles

      B) not enougheducators have realized the necessity for doing so

      C) schooldistricts are responsible for making their own decisions

      D) manyschoolteachers challenge the acceptability of these standards

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

       “I’ve never met a humanworth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s astupid endeavor.” That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a manwho has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog namedMissy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned twocows and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missythis spring – or perhaps not for another 5 years. It seems the reproductivesystem of man’s best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.

       Westhusin’s experiencewith cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. Inthree years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog’seggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos (胚胎) carrying Missy’s DNA. None have survived the transferto a surrogate (代孕的) mother. Thewastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses (胎) may be acceptable when you’re dealing with cats orbulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, andalso dangerous,” he says.

       Even so, dog cloning isa commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly thesheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin’s phone has been ringing with peoplecalling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lotof people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” saysWesthusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy’s mysterious billionaire owner; he’sput up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M’s research.

       Contrary to some mediareports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy’s finequalities after she does die. The prototype is, by all accounts, athletic,good-natured and supersmart. Missy’s master does not expect an exact copy ofher. He knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose,Missy’s owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward tostudying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”

       Besides cloning a greatdog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs.nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and manyendangered animals.

      However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. Heknows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive,will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalitieslike immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ever want toclone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we’re not even close to getting it workedout in animals yet?”

36.  By “stupidendeavor” (Line 2, Para. 1), Westhusin means to say that ________.

      A) animalcloning is not worth the effort at all

      B) animalcloning is absolutely impractical

      C) humancloning should be done selectively

      D) humancloning is a foolish undertaking

37.  What does thefirst paragraph tell us about Westhusin’s dog cloning project?

      A) Itssuccess is already in sight.

      B) Itsoutcome remains uncertain.

      C) It isdoomed to utter failure.

      D) It isprogressing smoothly.

38.  By cloningMissy, Mark Westhusin hopes to ________.

      A) study thepossibility of cloning humans

      B) search forways to modify its temperament

      C) examinethe reproductive system of the dog species

      D) find outthe differences between Missy and its clones

      A) a badtemper

      B) immunedeficiency

      C) defectiveorgans
