III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: There are 5 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by 4 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 your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Questions 41 to 44 are based on the following passage:

According to the dictionary definition of "create", ordinary people are creative every day. To create means "to bring into being, to cause to exist"--something each of us does daily.

We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.

A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, "There is nothing new under the sun," the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.

A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. To think up a new concept is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.

These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.

41. The author holds that___.

A. creativity is of highly demand

B. creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extent

C. creativity is to create something new and concrete

D. to practise and practise is the only way to cultivate one's creativity

42. "There is nothing new under the sun." (Par. 3) really implies that __

A. we can seldom create new things

B. a new thing is only a tale

C. a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things

D. we can scarcely see really new things in the world

43. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?

A. It's more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.

B. To find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.

C. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.

D. A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.

44. The best title for this passage is __

A. How to Cultivate One's Creativity

B. What is Creativity

C. The Importance of Creativity

D. Creativity--a Not Farway Thing

Questions 45 to 48 are based on the following passage:

Born in 1830 in rural Amherst, Massachusetts, Emily Dickinson spent her entire life in the household of her parents. Between 1858 and 1862, it was later discovered, she wrote like a person possessed, often producing a poem a day. It was also during this period that her life was transformed into the myth of Amherst. Withdrawing more and more, keeping to her room, sometimes even refusing to see visitors who called, she began to dress only in white--a habit that added to her reputation as an eccentric.

In their determination to read Dickinson's life in terms of a traditional romantic plot, biographers have missed the unique pattern of her life--her struggle to create a female life not yet imagined by the culture in which she lived. Dickinson was not the innocent, lovelorn and emotionally fragile girl sentimentalized by the Dickinson myth and popularized by William Luce's 1976 play, the Belle of Amherst. Her decision to shut the door on Amherst society in the 1850's transformed her house into a kind of magical realm in which she was free to engage her poetic genius. Her seclusion was not the result of a failed love affair, but rather a part of a more general pattern of renunciation through which she, in her quest for self sovereignty, carried on an argument with the puritan fathers, attacking with wit and irony their cheerless Calvinist doctrine, their stem patriarchal God, and their rigid notions of "true womanhood".

45. What's the author's main purpose in the passage?

A. To interpret Emily Dickinson's eccentric behavior.

B. To promote the popular myth of Emily Dickinson.

C. To discuss Emily Dickinson's failed love affair.

D. To describe the religious climate in Emily Dickinson's time.

46. Which of the following is not mentioned as being one of Emily Dickinson's eccentricities?

A. Refusing to eat.

B. Wearing only white.

C. Avoiding visitors.

D. Staying in her room.

47. The author implies that many people attribute Emily Dickinson's seclusion to __.

A. physical illness

B. a failed love affair

C. religious fervor

D. her dislike of people

48. It can be inferred from the passage that Emily Dickinson lived in a society that was characterized by __.

A. strong Puritan beliefs

B. equality of men and women

C. the encouragement of nonconformity

D. the appreciation of poetic creativity

Questions 49 to 52 are based on the following passage:

The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be "all things to all people". In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends. Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, "the nations colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials (文凭) than in providing a quality education for their students." The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an "integrated core" of common learning. Such a core would introduce students "to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus."

Although the key to a good college is a high quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed: "Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most." Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure (终身任期), promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculties say their interests lie more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that "There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications."

49. The word "core" (lines 9, 1st paragraph) might mean___.

A. aim

B. unit

C. center

D. course

50. One of the reasons for the current crisis in American colleges and universities is that __.

A. a narrow vocationalism has come to dominate many colleges

B. students don't have enough freedom in choosing what they want to learn

C. skills are being taught as a means to an end

D. students are not interested in learning

51. American colleges and universities failed to graduate half of their four-year-degree candidates because___.

A. most of them lack high quality faculties

B. students are becoming more and more lazy

C. there are not enough incentives for students to study hard

D. they attach greater importance to research and publication than to teaching

52. It can be inferred from the passage that high quality college education calls for __.

A. high quality faculties

B. a commitment to students and effective teaching

C. the cultivation of students' interest in learning

D. dedication to research in frontier areas of knowledge

Questions 53 to 56 are based on the following passage:

Once upon a time, the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around. Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over. Plenty of space for parks and factories. Plenty of forests to cut and grasslands to plow. But that was once upon a time. The days of unused land are over. Now the land has been spoken for, fenced off, carved up into cities and farms and industrial parks, put to use.

At the same time, the population keeps growing. People need places to work and places to play. So we need

more sites for more industries, more beaches for more sunbathers, and more clean rivers for more fishers. And it isn't just a matter of population growth. Our modern technology has needs that must be met, too. We need more coal for energy, and we need more power plants; cars must have highways and parking lots, and jets must have airports. Each of these land uses swallows up precious space. Highways and expressways alone take some 200,000 acres each year. And urban sprawl -- the spreading out of cities -- is expected to gobble up vast areas of land by the year 2,000. But there is only so much land to go around. It is always hard to decide. Take, for example, a forest. A forest can be a timber supply. It can provide a home for wildlife. It is scenery and a recreation area for man. It is soil and watershed protection.

53. "...the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around" means that __.

A. the United States seemed to have vast land for its people to walk around

B. the United States seemed to have enough land for sharing with everyone

C. the United States could provide whatever its inhabitants' needs

D. the United States was not able to allow its people to do what they wanted to

54. The sentence of "Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over" suggests that___.

A, the United States had a lot of rivers to dam and many rural valleys, too

B. the rivers could be dammed later

C. rural valleys would be considered in the future

D. people needn't think of the rivers and valleys

55. "Now the land has been spoken for, ..." tells us that __.

A. today, land has shown its values

B. now, people have said something about land

C. nowadays, land has been claimed by human beings

D. recently, people spoke for the land

56. The word "sprawl" indicates that___.

A. cities are developing very fast to meet the people's demands

B. urban areas are diminishing smoothly

C. urban areas are enlarging steadily in a planned way

D. cities are spreading out without any plans

Questions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage:

Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.

Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.

Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies (一分为二). This is one reason why change has not come

more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.

57. What kind of society tends to promote social changes?

A. A society where people are similar in many ways.

B. A society where there are only white people.

C. A society where there are only black people.

D. A society where there is a mixture of different kinds of people.

58. Which of the following is not true, according to the passage?

A. Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.

B. Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were old.

C. Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to promote social change.

D. Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects of society.

59. Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because___.

A. people there are easy to please

B. people there are less argumentary

C. people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change

D. people there have same needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty

60. The passage is mainly discussing___.

A. two different societies

B. certain factors that determine the case with which social change occurs

C. the necessity of social change

D. the significance of social change

Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that go into the collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo.

IV. Translation

Directions: There is 1 passage in this part of the test. You are to translate the passages into

Chinese on your Answer Sheet.

71.

Refining petroleum is a complex series of steps by which the original crude material is

,~ 295

eventually converted into salable products with the desired qualities and, perhaps more important, in the amounts dictated by the market.

In fact, a refinery is essentially a group of manufacturing plants that vary in number with the variety of products produced; refinery processes must be selected and products manufactured to give a balanced operation: that is, crude oil must be converted into products according to the rate of sale of each. For example, the manufacture of products from the lower boiling portion of petroleum automatically produces a certain amount of higher boiling components. If the latter cannot be sold as, say, heavy fuel oil, they accumulate until refinery storage facilities are full. To prevent the occurrence of such a situation, the refinery must be flexible and able to change operations as needed. This usually means more processes--a cracking process to change an excess of heavy fuel oil into more gasoline with coke as the residual product or a vacuum distillation process to separate the heavy oil into lubricating oil stocks and asphalt--to accommodate the ever-changing demands of the market.

In addition, a complete refining installation must include the following: all necessary

non-processing facilities; adequate tankage for storing crude oil, intermediate, and finished products; a dependable source of electrical power, material-handling equipment; workshops and supplies for maintaining a continuous 24 hour/day, 7 day/week operation; waste disposal and water-treating equipment; and product-blending facilities.

【译文】他讲的话十分有说服力，我们都被说服了。

【试题分析】语法题，要求考生掌握倒装结构。

【译文】一想到明天的这个时候我就在阳光明媚的沙滩上玩耍，难道不是一件快乐的事吗?

【试题分析】本题测试句子结构。

【详细解答】“will+不定式进行体”表示将来时间。有两种用法：1）表示将来某一时间正在进行的动作。2）“单纯”表示将来要发生的动作。这一结构在口语中用得多。它与“will+不定式结构”有区别，在于它不带情态色彩，表示“纯粹”将来，但正由于其不带情态色彩，在某些场合便能表示婉转口气。从而现代英语用will+being 表礼貌的询问、请求等。 eg. ①When will you be visiting us again? ②When will you visit us again? 句①不带请求意愿色彩，口气较随使，婉转；②则有需求对方表态之意，口气不够婉转。

25.

37.

【答案】A

【参考译文】他一到火车站天就开始下雨。

【试题分析】此题考查固定搭配及倒装句。

【详细解答】表示“一……就”有以下表达：1. hardly（scarcely, barely）…when/before 2. no sooner…than。这些句子只用于过去时，主句动作因发生在从句动作之前故用过去完成时。倘若 hardly, scarcely, no sooner 和barely在句中则采取正常语序，但当它们位于句首时，主句的主谓语要部分倒装，使用句型：a. Hardly（Scarcely, Barely）+had+主语＋过去分词＋其他。

b. No sooner had+主语+过去分词+其他。例如：a. They had no sooner reached home than it began to rain. 他们刚到家就开始下雨了。（正常语序）b. Barely had she finished the report when she had to go to the lecture. 她刚写完报告就去上班。（倒装语序）

c. Scarcely had Jack seen me when he left the room. 杰克一见到我就离开了屋子。（倒装语序）此外表示“一……就”还可用以下表达：the moment（that）…, as soon as，the instant…, the minute…，它们不是名词，而是从属连词，后跟从句，从句的时态与主句的时态一致。例如：I recognized him the minute（the moment, as soon as, the instant）I saw him. 我一见到他就认出他了。

38.

【答案】A

【试题分析】此题为语法结构题。

【详细解答】compare…with意为“与……相比”。分词作状语时，若与主句的主语是主谓关系，则用现在分词，若是动宾关系则用过去分词。根据句意，应用过去分词。故 A对。

39.

【答案】A

【参考译文】他在这班上年纪最小。

【试题分析】此题考查比较级。

40.

【答案】C

【参考译文】你一定误会我了，因为我没说那件事。
