Part III Reading Comprehension (20%)
Directions:In this part of the test, there are two passages for you to read. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer A B, C or D, and mark the corresponding letter on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.
Passage One
A classic series of experiments to determine the effects of overpopulation on communities of rats was reported in February of 1962 in an article in Scientific American. The experiments were conducted by a psychologist, John B. Calhoun, and his associates. In each of these experiments, an equal number of male and female adult rats were placed in an enclosure and given an adequate supply of food, water, and other necessities. The rat populations were allowed to increase. Calhoun knew from experience approximately how many rats could live in the enclosures without experiencing stress due to overcrowding. He allowed the population to increase to approximately twice this number. Then he stabilized the population by removing offspring that were not dependent on their mothers. He and his associates then carefully observed and recorded behavior in these overpopulated communities. At the end of their experiments, Calhoun and his associates were able to conclude that overcrowding causes a breakdown in the normal social relationships among rats, a kind of social disease. The rats in the experiments did not follow the same patterns of behavior as rats would in a community without overcrowding.
The females in the rat population were the most seriously affected by the high population density. They showed deviant maternal behavior: They did not behave as mother rats normally do. In fact, many of pups, as rat babies are called, died as a result of poor maternal care. For example, mothers sometimes abandoned their pups, and without their mothers’ care, the pups died. Under normal conditions, a mother rat would not leave her pups alone to die. However, the experiments verified that in overpopulated communities, mother rats do not behave normally. Their behavior may be considered pathologically diseased.
The dominant males in the rat population were the least affected by overpopulation. Each of these strong males claimed an area of the enclosure as his own. Therefore, these individuals did not experience the overcrowding in the same way as the other rats did. The fact that the dominant males had adequate space in which to live may explain why they were not as seriously affected by overpopulation as the other rats. However, dominant males did behave pathologically at times. Their antisocial behavior consisted of attacks on weak male, female, and immature rats. This deviant behavior showed that even though the dominant males had enough living space, they too were affected by the general overcrowding in the enclosure.
Non-dominant males in the experimental rat communities also exhibited deviant social behavior. Some withdrew completely; they moved very little and ate and drank at times when the other rats were sleeping in order to avoid contact with them. Other non-dominant males were hyperactive; they were much more active than normal, chasing
other rats and fighting each other. This segment of the rat population, like all the other parts, was affected by the overpopulation.
The behavior of the non-dominant males and of the other components of the rat population has parallels in human behavior. People in densely populated areas exhibit deviant behavior similar to that of the rats in Calhoun’s experiments. In large urban areas such as New York City, London, Mexican City, and Cairo, there are abandoned children. There are cruel, powerful individuals, both men and women. There are also people who withdraw and people who become hyperactive. The quantity of other forms of social pathology such as murder, rape, and robbery also frequently occur in densely populated human communities. Is the principal cause of these disorders overpopulation? Calhoun’s experiments suggest that it might be. In any case, social scientists and city planners have been influenced by the results of this series of experiments.
41. Para. 1 is organized according to .
A. reasons
B. description
C. examples
D. definition
42. Calhoun stabilized the rat population ____________.
A. when it was double the number that could live in the enclosure without stress
B. by removing young rats
C. at a constant number of adult rats in the enclosure
D. all of the above are correct
43. Which of the following inferences can NOT be made from the information in Para.1?
A. Calhoun’s experiment is still considered important today.
B. Overpopulation causes pathological behavior in rat populations.
C. Stress does not occur in rat communities unless there is overcrowding.
D. Calhoun had experimented with rat before.
44. Which of the following behavior did NOT happen in the experiment?
A. All the male rats exhibited pathological behavior.
B. Mother rats abandoned their pups.
C. Female rats showed deviant maternal behavior.
D. Mother rats left their rat babies alone.
45. The main idea of Para.3 is that .
A. dominant males had adequate living space
B. dominant males were not as seriously affected by overcrowding as the others rats
C. dominant males attacked weaker rats
D. the strongest males are always able to adapt to bad conditions
Passage Two
Last year, the government asked the University of Nottingham to carry out research on the skills of university students. The findings confirm the disquiet of employers at the lack of basic skills they observe in some graduates. British universities have usually admitted only the best students, so it is surprising to read about these findings.
The research showed that less than one university student in five achieves the levels expected of bright 18-year-olds in all three of the key skills of communication, the application of number, and information technology (IT).
Some have argued that there are two other key skill areas where students might be expected to show some ability--- improving their own learning, and working with others. If we add in these skill areas, the research shows that only about a dozen students among nearly two hundred tested across ten universities scored top marks.
Not many universities focus on these general, basic skills. Indeed, many universities assume that their highly-qualified incoming students have all these skills. But are they right to assume that? If they are not, then university educators may have to start paying more attention to developing such skills than they have in the past.
It is of course possible to get a good degree, even from a top-class university, and not necessarily have all-round skills necessary for operating in employment and everyday situation. Some graduates are not good at IT; others have difficulty in the application of number skills. Many are poor in communication skills in speech, or writing, or both. For example, many employers note that even highly-qualified graduates have difficulty in giving a clear explanation of something they understand to a group of people listening.
Achievement of these skills is not normally required in high school; however, one might expect students to be better in these skills than they are.
The results from the University of Nottingham survey need to be treated with some care: the sample was small, and we only assessed students who could be present at certain times of the day; we were not able to assess every aspect of every skill. But even if we doubled the number of students tested who achieved level 3 on our tests---just below the minimum level required by employers--- two-thirds of first year students would not achieve these minimum levels.
Each of the students took part in a two-and-a-half hour assessment session. During this session they completed pencil and paper tests. They also did a group exercise and presentation, during which they had to work with others, and then each in turn present an oral report. In addition, they were asked to complete a self-report questionnaire covering their knowledge and experience of IT.
Many would argue that being brilliant in any one or two of these skills is not enough: students should really have an all-round ability in all these skill areas. The story is much less encouraging when we look at success in a combination of skills. Only about five percent of those sampled achieved acceptable levels in all five skill areas.
The fact is that university courses vary a great deal. In some instances, they allow students to do very well at certain things that are highly valued within their academic field. However, these qualities may not transfer easily to other situations. Many employers go to particular institutions, and particular degree subjects hoping to find the kind of graduate they want. The government is now considering ways in which training in these skills can be built into every degree program offered.
This may strike tear into the hearts of many university lecturers, who are already
having to cope with much greater demands on their teaching and research skills. However, there is reason to believe that some institutions are already dealing with the problem, and with some success. For example, the University of Loughborough (near Nottingham) has an excellent program in study and IT skills, and the University checks o n students’ skills as they proceed through their courses. These universities now realize that basic skills not only help their students to learn more effectively, they also make them more employable once they have left the university.
46. What are the basic skills of the university graduates?
https://www.360docs.net/doc/d26126509.html,munication.
B. Application of number.
C. Information technology
D. All of the above
47. Some argued that other basic skills like the ability to are also expected.
A. improve their own learning
B. make independent decision
C. explain something clearly
D. pass paper tests
48. Usually, achievement of these basic skills is not normally required in .
A. colleges
B. high schools
C. communication
D. graduates
49. Why should the results from the University of Nottingham survey be treated with
some care?
A. The survey is not accurate.
B. The survey is not accepted by the public.
C. Most of the students are top students in the university.
D. The survey only assessed a small part of the students.
50. How much percent of the sampled achieved acceptable level in all five skills areas according to the passage?
A. 6%
B. 5%
C. 30%
D. 44%
Part IV Cloze (15%)
Directions: For each numbered blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. Choose the best one and mark your answer on machine-scoring Answer Sheet by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil.
Promptness and punctuality are major expectations in the American workplace. People who keep appointments are considered to be dependable, and those who do not are seen as 51 . It is considered polite to call if one is going to be even a few minutes 52 . Arriving ten minutes late to a scheduled business appointment (without having called ahead of time) is 53 rude and conveys a lack of organization. Some companies have been known to fine their executives for tardiness to meeting. This American cultural concern with every minute contrast 54 other
culture’ views about time. In many parts of Latin America, for example, arriving thirty to forty-five minutes late is not 55 seen as disrespectful. Saying that one 56 an old friend could be a sufficient excuse for tardiness but such an explanation would not be 57 in the American work-a-day world, 58 “time is money”.
The American workday usually begins at 8:00 a.m., or 9:00 a.m., not at 8:10, 8:40, or 9:10. An employer who notices that an employee is 59 coming in several minutes late may give the employee a warning to be on time. In many countries, employees feel that they can 60 working if the boss is not around. Of course, this also happens in the United States but Americans (especially professionals) feel they are not using their time well if they are not 61 during most of the day. Perhaps because the American culture values daily progress, there is a great emphasis 62 not wasting time. In the workplace this value translates into a need for saving time, budgeting time, accounting for time, and allotting time for various activities. In business, time is carefully 63 . Many people use appointment calendars that are printed with fifteen- thirty-, and sixty-minute time slots. At meetings, people often decide 64 time how many minutes they will spend on each item on the agenda. Many workers have eight-to-five jobs with two fifteen-minute coffee breaks (one mid-morning and one mid-afternoon), and a forty-five minute or one-hour break. These employees must “punch the clock”every time they enter and leave their workplace. Work and play or work and social life are seen as 65 activities.
