Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this 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 should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems -and that
they have no sense of humour, at least in parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a
culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small
way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog; you cannot win but at least you keep your honour. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.
If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can
charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they
will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
21. The author is primarily addressing ____.
A) parents of teenagers
B) newspaper readers
C) those who give advice to teenagers
D) teenagers
22. The first paragraph is mainly about ____.
A) the teenagers’ criticism of their parents
B) misunderstandings between teenagers and their parents
C) the dominance of the parents over their children
D) the teenagers’ ability to deal with crises
23.Teenagers tend to have strange clothes and hairstyles mainly because they ____.
A) want to show their existence by creating a culture of their own
B) have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
C) have no other way to enjoy themselves better
D) want to irritate their parents
24. Teenagers do not want their parents to approve of whatever they do because they ____.
A) have already been accepted into the adult world
B) feel that they are superior in a small way to the adults
C) are not likely to win over the adults
D) have a desire to be independent
25. To improve parent-child relationships, teenagers are advised to be
____.
A) obedient
B) responsible
C) cooperative
D) independent
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
He was a funny looking man with a cheerful face, good natured and a great talker. He was described by his student, the great philosopher Plato, as “the best and
most just and wisest man”. Yet this same man was condemned to death for his beliefs.The man was the Greek philosopher, Socrates, and he was condemned for not believing in the recognized gods and for corrupting young people. The second charge stemmed from his association with numerous young men who came to Athens from all over the civilized world to study under him.
Socrates method of teaching was to ask questions and, by pretending not to know
the answers, to press his students into thinking for themselves. His teachings had unsurpassed influence on all the great Greek and Roman schools of philosophy.
Yet, for all his fame and influence, Socrates himself never wrote a word.
Socrates encouraged new ideas and free thinking in the young, and this was frightening to the conservative people. They wanted him silenced. Yet, many were probably surprised that he accepted death so readily.
Socrates had the right to ask for a lesser penalty, and he probably could have won over enough of the people who had previously condemned him. But Socrates, as
a firm believer in law, reasoned that it was proper to submit to the death sentence. So, he calmly accepted his fate and drank a cup of poison hemlock in the presence of his grief-stricken friends and students.
26. In the first paragraph, the word “yet” is used to introduce____.
A) contrast B) a sequence
C) emphasis D)an example
27. Scorates was condemned to death because he ____.
A) believed in law
B) was a philosopher
C) published radical philosophical articles
D) advocated original opinions
28. The word “unsurpassed” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to ____.
A) untold B) unequalled
C) unnoticed D) unexpected
29. By mentioning that Socrates himself never wrote anything, the writer
implies that ____.
A) it was surprising that Socrates was so famous
B) Socrates was not so learned as he is reputed to have been
C) Socrates used the work of his students in teaching
D) the authorities refused to publish Socrates’ works
30. Socates accepted the death penalty to show ____.
A) his belief in his students
B) his contempt for conservatives
C) his recognition of the legal system
D) that he was not afraid of death
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
To be “historically minded” is to see things in relation and in perspective, and to judge tolerantly. We must remember how differently men have thought and acted in different times. We must always keep an open mind, ready to receive and weigh new evidence. If we grasp this idea, we will never think that a historian is
someone who can remember dates. That childish idea is like calling a man a statesman because he can remember the names of voters in his district. A waiter could
remember more names and a telephone operator more numbers than the greatest historian.
The true historian is not content to take all his facts from other historians. Today he makes sure that his statements are based on sound “documents” or “sources” which go back to the time of the facts themselves.
But the historian needs always to be in his guard not to be misled by his sources. A document may not be a real one. Its author may be lying on purpose for
some reasons. He may be so greatly influenced by national, religious, party or personal backgrounds as to be totally unfair to the other side. If honest, he may
be misinformed as to the facts and mistaken in his inferences.
Anyone who reads the accounts published in the different countries concerning the causes and results of wars will realize that the historian needs caution and training in handling these sources. The trained historian asks first: “Did th
is writer mean to tell the truth?” and second; “Was he in a position or frame of
mind to tell the truth even if he wants to?” Every statement must be patiently
weighed and tested and combined with all other available information in order to
get at the truth.
3l.A “historica1ly minded” researcher ____.
A) always keeps an open mind to history
B) looks at one historical event without relating it to another
C) sees things from a single point of view
D) refuses to accept new evidence
32.In Paragraph l the author means to illustrate that ____.
A) different men think and act differently
B) the study of history is not merely a matter of remembering dates
C) a statesman can remember the names of voters in his district
D) a waiter can remember more names than the great historians
33.The true historian should base his statements on ____.
A) findings of other historians
B) documents created at the present time
C) his own inferences
D) sound historical materials
34.Which of the following is the topic of Paragraph 3?
A) Some historical documents may not be real.
B) Some authors may not be honest.
C) Historians should be careful about their sources.
D) Historians may be influenced by their own backgrounds.
35. It is emphasized in the last paragraph that ____.
A) wars are accounted for differently in different countries
B) the historian needs caution and training in dealing with his sources
C) some writers may not be telling the truth
D) some writers may not be in a position or frame of mind to tell the truth
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Friedrich Dobl, a Yugoslav working in Germany, was fed up with traffic jams. At
long weekends and holiday times when he wanted to get him quickly he always found himself behind hundreds of other cars moving slowly along the notorious foreign workers’ route through Germany and Austria.
How easy it all was for police and emergency services. A siren, a flashing light
? And like magic everyone was out of the way. Going home from work one night he
passed a garage. And there in front of him was the answer to his problem. An old
ambulance was for sale. The red cross had been removed. But not the flashing light, and the siren. He tried the light. It flashed magnificently. He tried the siren. That too sounded impressive. He bought the ambulance and opened up for himself a dream world of motoring.
It began early in the morning, all his luggage in the back of the ambulance and
motorway in Germany looking reasonably clear. Soon, as always, a long line of traffic appeared ahead. He switched on the flashing light and set off the siren. Cars swiftly slowed and pulled off the fast lane. Other cars stopped and drivers waved him ahead to an open road all his own. In record time he crossed the border into Austria. The big bluff was working. Police even waved him through the confusion caused by an accident.
But then the Yugoslav made his beg mistake. Until then he had only stopped for petrol. Now he was driving past a real accident, lights flashing, too late to realize that it was not another traffic jam as he assumed. They stopped him, and after hearing the story of his ride across two countries fined him 12.5 pounds.
36. At long weekends and holidays Friedrich Dobl used to____ .
A) drive home in Germany

A) Because he had always wanted one.
B) Because he wanted to resell it at a higher price.

D) Because he knew that other traffic would get clear of the way for an ambulance.
38. The red cross had been removed ____.
A) but he soon put up a new one
B) but the siren and the flashing light still worked
C) so he asked the garage to paint another one on
D) because the vehicle did not look like an ambulance any more
39. When the police stopped him,____.

B) he had just driven straight past an accident
C) they found 12.5 pounds in his pocket

Part Ⅳ
Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)
Directions: In this part there is a short passage with 8
questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the
questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
By the 1950s many American families owned television sets. During television’s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun. They could not hear what was
being said and had to guess.
Deaf people who watched television liked sports and action shows, but they were
disappointed with other programs. If there was a lot of dialogue, deaf viewers couldn’t follow the plot. Even the most skilled lip-readers could only catch part
of the talking. This frustrated many deaf people.
In the late 1960s, a man started experimenting. Malcom Norwood thought that deaf
people could enjoy television programs, too. He wanted to develop captions for
the programs. Norwood worked for the federal government’s Media Services and Captioned Films Division at the Bureau of Education of the Handicapped.
Norwood surveyed many hearing Americans. He wanted to see how they felt about seeing captions on the television screen. Too many people were against the idea. Norwood realized he had to develop another way of captioning - one that would not
bother hearing people.
In October of 1971, Norwood’s office signed a contract with WGBH-TV, a public television station in Boston. WGBH was hired to experiment with captions. They agreed to make a captioned television program for Norwood. That program was made. It was shown on television and at a special convention.
The type of captions made by WGBH could be seen on any television. No special equipment was needed. These were called “open captions”.
Later, a new machine was invented. This device was made to send signals on a special part of the television picture. The signals could be captions. If a family
had another kind of machine in their home or in their TV set, then the captions
(or signals) would appear on their television screen. Without the machine, no captions would be seen. That special machine is called a decoder. It receives the
signals transmitted from the television station. Captions that require a decoder
are called “closed captions”.
S1 During television’s first 20 years, deaf people missed most of the fun
because they ____.
S2 Deaf people who watched television did not like programs other than sports and action shows because ____.
S3 In the late 1960s, Malcom Norwood thought that deaf people could enjoy
television programs with the help of ____.
S4 According to the survey conducted by Norwood, hearing people’s attitude toward captions was ____.
S5 A decoder is a machine to ____.

Section B
Passage One
One of the most famous tourist attractions in the State of California is the giant redwood. This redwood might be described as “the tree with the moving foot” because it is not even a native Californian, believe it or not.
These trees, which are among the largest and oldest of all living things, moved
to California from the Arctic. Long, long ago they grew in the Arctic, just as enormous and tall as they are today. But the warmer climate drew them southward and it took some seventy-five million years to complete the move.
Carried by birds, winds, and some strong-teethed animals, the seeds of the redwood traveled thousands of miles from what is now the northernmost tip of Alaska to California, their last stand. Only the hardest of seeds survived —— a few that visited Europe soon died out. But those that made it to California put down roots, grew into luxuriant forests, and became camera subjects for the hundreds
and thousands of tourists who visit California’s giant redwood each year.
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. Where did these trees grow a long time ago?
12. How long did it take the redwood to complete its long journey?
13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a carrier of the redwood seeds from their birthplace to California?
Passage Two
Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes. Americans do not have a corner on the “death” market, but m
any people feel that the United States leads the world with the worst taxes.
Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal, state, and city; therefore, there are three types of taxes.
Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain percentage of their salaries to the federal government. The federal government has
a graduated income tax; that is, the percentage of the tax increases as a person
’s income increases. With the high cost of taxes, people are not very happy on A
pril 15, when the federal taxes are due.
Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. According to the passage, what are the two things that Americans can be sure of in life?
15. How many types of taxes are there in the United States?
16. Why do Americans feel sad on April 15?
Passage Three
Mrs. Jones was very fond of singing. She had a very good voice, except that some
of her high notes tended to sound like a gate which someone had forgotten to oil. Mrs. Jones was very conscious of this weakness, and took every opportunity she could find to practice these high notes. As she lived in a small house, where
she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family, she usually went for long walks along the country roads whenever she had time, and practiced her high notes there. Whenever she heard a car or a person coming along the road,
she stopped and waited until she could no longer be heard before she started practicing again, because she was a shy person, and because she was sensitive about those high notes.
One afternoon, however, a fast open car came behind her so silently that she did
not hear it until it was only a few yards away from her. She was singing some of her highest and most difficult notes at the time. As the car passed her, she saw an anxious expression suddenly come over its driver’s face. He put his brakes
on violently, and as soon as the car stopped, jumped out and began to examine all his tyres carefully.
Mrs. Jones dared not tell him what the noise he had heard had really been, so he
got back into his car, and drove off, as puzzled as he had been when he stopped
.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
17. What did Mrs. Jones often practice?
18. Why did the driver stop the car?
19. Where did the noise come from?
20. Which of the followings is NOT TRUE about Mrs. Jones?

内容概要：本文讲述的是电视字幕的由来。电视进入美国家庭的前二十年，那些耳聋的电视观众不能体会到电视的全部乐趣，因为电视节目有很多对话，聋人只能理解一小部分。六十年代，一个叫Malcom Norwood的人希望通过字幕帮助聋人看懂普通的电视节目，而且这种字幕还不能干扰正常的电视观众。通过与WGBH电视台合作，他们开发了所谓的“开放式字幕”，即不需特殊设备、所有电视机都能接收到的字幕。后来又出现了“闭路式字幕”，这需要在电视机上安装一个解码器，接收电视台发送的字幕信号，字幕才能出现在电视机上。

Some Suggestions to the President of Our University
Dear Sir:
I’ve been here for two years. I am very satisfied with my university, but it does not follow that there is no room for improvement.
First, I believe a better job can be done with respect to the guidance of our study methods. Although university students have the ability to study independently, sometimes when we try to choose good books to read and appropriate topics for
our research we still feel at a loss. We need someone to give us some advice. If you could arrange more lectures on “how to learn by yourself” for us, especially for the freshmen, it will do much good to our study.
Second, more activities should be arranged to make our campus life more interesting. I’m sorry to say that at present life on campus is quite boring. Everyday we have classes, read in the library, or stay in the dormitory. Life becomes a routine. We need more meaningful activities organized to cheer us up and make our study more efficient. I hope you can consider my suggestions. Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
