Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母填在题号后括号内）Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Punctuality (准时，守时) is important in American business, acadamic, and social settings. The importance of punctuality is taught to young children in school. Tardy slips and the use of bells signal to the child that punctuality and time itself are to be respected.People who keep appointments are considered dependable. If people are late for job interviews, appointments, or classes, they are often viewed as unreliable and irresponsible. In the business world, “time is money” and companies may fine their executives for tardiness to business meetings. Of course, it is not always possible to be punctual. Social and business custom also provides rules for late arrivals. Calling on the telephone if one is going to be more than a few minutes late for scheduled appointments is considered polite and is often expected. Keeping a date of a friend waiting beyong ten to twenty minutes is considered rude. On the other hand, thirty minutes late for some parties is acceptable.Respecting deadlines is also important in academic and professional circles. It is expected that deadlines for class assignments or business reports will be met. Students who hand in assignments late may be surprised to find that the professor will lower their grades or even refuse to grade their work. Whether it is a question of arriving on time or of meeting a deadline, people are culturally conditioned to regulate time.The best title for this passage is________.A. DeadlinesB. TimeC. PunctualityD. Custom22. In the United States the child who must go to bed early, be punctual at school, or bring a tardy slip if he is late_____.A. is learning to disobey his parents and teachersB. is learning the importance of time and punctuality in his cultureC. is being punished for disobeying his mother and school officialsD. is being punished for playing too much23. According to the passage, if a person is late for a business meeting, he may be _____.A. made to payB. given a pay riseC. criticizedD. fired24. Social custom in the United States allows people______.A. to come early to partiesB. to be a few minutes late for interviews and business meetings without a callC. to call a date when he is thirty minutes lateD. to be up to a half-hour late for some parties25. The last sentence means ______.A. people everywhere regulate time ini the same wayB. different cultures have different customs concerning timeC. conditions decide how people spend timeD. regular timetable is importantiin every culturePassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answers to both these questions are yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. When people have close blood relationship, they are likely to be close in intelligence. Therefore if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relatives like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence development. And this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have a similar degrees of intelligence.26. According to the passage, a child .A. born with low intelligence will become a genius through special educationB. born with low intelligence will never become a geniusC. living in rich and varied surroundings will develop his intelligence beyond the limits fixed at birthD. living in a boring situation will not develop his intelligence at all27. As far as intelligence is concerned, most experts now believe that .A. neither birth nor enviroment really mattersB. birth is more important than environmentC. environment plays a more important role than birthD. birth and envrionment are both important28. To show that intelligence is related to blood relationship, we may .A. respectively examine the intelligence of two identical twins as well as that of two unrelated people taken at random, and then compare the resultsB. have two identical twins’ blood tested, and then compare the resultsC. have two unrelated people’s blood tested, and then compare the resultsD. respectively examine the blood of brothers and sisters as well as that of parents and children, and then compare the results29. Which of the following groups of people are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence?A. People who are raised and educated in different environmentsB. People who live in close contactC. People who are closely relatedD. Both B and C30. The author’s purpose of writing this passage is .A. to emphasize the importance of envrionment in intelligence developmentB. to support the view that both birth and environment influence intelligenceC. to argue that factories should beautify the dull settingD. to explain how birth and envrionment influence intelligencePassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The American university is a direct descedant from the ancient universities in Europe. These are the oldest instititions, aside from the church itself, in western civilization. They have survived many periods of trouble, of revolution, and of persecution(迫害). But the tradition of learning and scholarly inquiry has lived on.Yet there are shortsighted people today who are saying that the modern university has outlived its usefulness, and that it must be overthrown and replaced by something else whose nature is unspecified.Remember, however, that there have been many occasions during the last 700 years when people said that universities were irrelevant or that it was wrong for them to pursue long-term goals in the face of immediate and pressing problems. Fortunately, there have been stout-headed souls who argued that the search for knowledge would never be outdated by current events and we can all be eternally thankful that the forces of ignorance were so often defeated. They must now be defeated again.Knowledge and the search for knowledge have persisted through the centuries to the enormous benefit of human beings. The world may be troubled and distressed today but it should be thought how much better off the people in this country are nowthan they were 50 years ago or 100 years ago and how much better off they are than the millions of people in countries which have not benefited from the progress of knowledge. We in the western world have encouraged scientific discovery and its application intensively for 200 years to our vast material benefit. Today we are at a turning point. We can now use our stores of wealth and of knowledge as tools to solve the new problems which now beset (包围) our modern society.31. It is stated in the passage that science has contributed to .A. peaceB. healthC. a better lifeD. a better envrionment32.

They are not useful any moreD. They cannot solve immediate problems34. The author thinks that the West enjoys prosperity because .A. scientific discovery has been encouragedB. ignorance has not been widespreadC. wealth has been accumulatedD. there have been stout-headed people35. The purpose of the passage is to .A. support the view that universities should be abolishedB. discuss the view that universities should be abolishedC. oppose the view that universities should be abolishedD. explain the view that universities should be abolishedPART TWO (50 POINTS)IV.
