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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits .They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bill. They are tax-deductible. They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.31. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______ .A. still judge a man by his clothesB. hold the uniforms in such high regardC. enjoy having a professional identity.D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform32.People are accustomed to thinking that a man in uniform________.A. suggests quality workB. discards his social identityC. appears to be more practicalD. looks superior to a person in civilian clothes33. The chief function of a uniform is to _________ .A. provide practical benefits to the wearerB. make the wearer catch the public eyeC. inspire the wearer’s confidence in himselfD. provide the wearer with a professional identity34. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms________ .A. are usually helpfulB. have little or no individual freedomC. tend to lose their individualityD. enjoy greater popularity35. The best title for this passage would be ________ .A Uniforms and SocietyB. The Importance of Wearing a UniformC. Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD. Advantages and Disadvantages of UniformsPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.You don’t need every word to understand the meaning of what you read. In fact, too much emphasis on individual words both slows your speed and reduces your comprehension. You will be given the chance to prove this to yourself, but meanwhile, let us look at the implications.First, any habit which slows down your silent reading to the speed at which you speak, or read aloud, is inefficient. If you point to each word as you read, or more your head, or form the words with your lips, you read poorly. Less obvious habits also hold back reading efficiency. ONE is “Saying” each word silently by moving your tongue or throat or vocal cords; another is “hearing” each word as you read.These are habits which should have been outgrown long ago. The beginning reader is learning how letters can make words, how written words are pronounced, and how sentences are put together. Your reading purpose is quite different; it is to understand meaning.It has been estimated that up to 75% of the words in English sentences are not really necessary for conveying the meaning. The secret of silent reading is to seek out those key words and phrases which carry the thought, and to pay less attention to words which exist only for the sake of grammatical completeness.An efficient reader can grasp the meaning from a page at least twice as fast as he can read the passage aloud. Unconsciously perhaps, he takes in a whole phrase or thought unit at a time. If he “says”or “hears”words to himself. They are selected ones, said for emphasis.36. This passage is mainly about_________.A. improving eye movementsB. reading more widelyC. eliminating poor reading habitsD. concentrating while reading37. Saying each word to yourself as you read__________.A. improves comprehensionB. increases reading speedC. prevents regression (退步)D. hinders reading efficiency38. Your reading purpose should be___________.A. to understand all the wordsB. to make fewer eye movementsC. to understand meaningD. to understand the grammatical structures39. It has been estimated that up to 75% of words in English sentences are ________.A. grammatically unnecessaryB. essential to the meaningC. not absolutely essential to grasp of meaningD. regressed more than once by poor readers40. Efficient readers usually__________.A. move their heads quicklyB. take in whole phrases at a timeC. point at key wordsD. miss some important points for speedPassage ThreeQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Back in 1922, Thomas Edison predicted that “the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and...in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks.” Well, we all make mistakes. But at least Edison did not squander vast quantities of public money on installing cinema screens in schools around the country.With computers, the story has been different. Many governments have packed them into schools, convinced that their presence would improve the pace and efficiency of learning. Large numbers of studies, some more academically respectable than others, have purported to show that computers help children to learn. Now, however, a study that compares classes with computers against similar classes without them casts doubt on that view.In the current Economic Journal, Joshua Angrist of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Victor Lavy of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem look at a scheme which put computers into many of Israel’s primary and middle schools in the mid-1990s. Dr Angrist and Dr Lavy compare the test scores for maths and Hebrew achieved by children in the fourth and eighth grades (i.e, aged about nine and 13) in schools with and without computers. They also asked the classes’ teachers how they used various teaching materials, such as Xeroxed worksheets and, of course, computer programs. The researchers found that the Israeli scheme had much less effect on teaching methods in middle schools than in elementary schools. It also found no evidence that the use of computers improved children’s test scores. In fact, it found the reverse. In the case of the maths scores of fourth-graders, there was a consistently negative relationship between computer use and test scores.The authors offer three possible explanations of why this might be. First, the introduction of computers into classrooms might have gobbled up cash that would otherwise have paid for other aspects of education. But that is unlikely in this case since the money for the programme came from the national lottery, and the study found no significant change in teaching resources, methods or training in schools that acquired computers through the scheme.A second possibility is that the transition to using computers in instruction takes time to have an effect. Maybe, say the authors, but the schools surveyed had been using the scheme’s computers for a full school year. That was enough for the new computers to have had a large (and apparently malign) influence on fourth-grade maths scores. The third explanation is the simplest: that the use of computers in teaching is no better (and perhaps worse) than other teaching methods.The bottom line, says Dr Angrist, is that “the costs are clear-cut and the benefits are murky.”The burden of proof now lies with the promoters of classroom computers. And the only reliable way to make their case is, surely, to conduct a proper study, with children randomly allocated to teachers who use computers and teachers who use other methods, including the cheapest of all: chalk and talk.41. We can learn from the first paragraph that ____________.A. motion picture has revolutionized education systemB. Edison’s prediction has been proved wrongC. Edison encouraged schools to install cinema screensD. schools are cautious about Edison’s idea42. Dr. Angrist and Dr. Lavy have done the following except ____________.A. comparing the test scores of students in different age groupsB. interviewing teachers about their teaching methodsC. launching the computer program in many Israeli schoolsD. explaining students’ school pe rformance43. According to Dr. Angrist and Dr. Lavy, in the Israeli scheme, students didn’t make improvement in their test scores because____________.A. other aspects of education were affected due to cash shortageB. it was not long enough for the program to take effectC. there was a negative relationship between computer use and test scoresD. the use of computer was no better than other teaching methods44. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ____________.A. there hasn’t been a proper st udy on this issue yetB. school authorities should provide proof to support the computer programC. installing computers in schools costs too much, but has little or no effectD. chalk and talk work better than computer in teaching45. The author’s attit ude towards governments’ packing computers in schools seems to be _____________.A. biasedB. indifferentC. disapprovingD. puzzlingPassage FourQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed, i. e., worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago “being employed” meant working as a factory labourer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: middle-class and upper- class employees have been the fastest- growing groups in our working population- growing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the ex- pans/on of industrial production.Yet you will fine little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanist’s trade or bookkeeping (簿记). Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge46. It is implied that fifty years ago__________.A. eighty percent of American working people were employed in factoriesB. twenty percent of American intellectuals were employeesC. the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was almost the same as thatof industrial workersD. the percentage of intellectuals working as employees was not so large as that ofindustrial workers47. According to the passage, with the development of modern industry,___________.A. factory labourers will overtake intellectual employees in numberB. there are as many middle -class employees as factory labourersC. employers have attached great importance to factory labourersD. the proportion of factory labourers in the total employee population has decreased48. The word “dubious” (L. 2, Para. 2) most probably means__________.A. valuableB. usefulC. doubtfulD. helpful49. According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is__________.A. less important than awareness of being a good employeeB. as important as the ability to deal with public relationsC. more important than employer-employee relationsD. as important as the ability to co-operate with others in the organization50. From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one__________.A. to be more successful in his careerB. to be more specialized in his fieldC. to solve technical problemsD. to develop his professional skillPart Three TranslationTranslate the following sentences into Chinese (30%)51.

Reading comprehension: (15%)TEXT A THE PLEDGEThe old woman glanced for a moment at what he had brought to pawn, but at once stared in the eyes of her uninvited visitor. She looked intently, maliciously and mistrustfully.A minute passed; he even fancied something like a sneer in her eyes, as though she had already guessed everything. He felt that he was losing his head, the he was almost frightened, so frightened that if she were to look like that and not say a word for another half minute, he thought he would have run away from her."Why do you look at me as though you did not know me?" he said suddenly, also with malice. "Take it if you like, if not I'll go elsewhere, I am in a hurry."He had not even thought of saying this, but it was suddenly of itself. The old woman recovered herself, and her visitor's resolute tone evidently restored her confidence."But why, my good sir, all of a minute... What is it?" she asked, looking at the pledge."The silver cigarette case; I spoke of it last time, you know."She held out her hand."But how pale you are, to be sure... and your hands are trembling too? Have you been bathing, or what?""Fever," he answered abruptly. "You can't help getting pale... if you've nothing to eat," he added, with difficulty articulating the words.His strength was failing him again. But his answer sounded like the truth; the old woman took the pledge."What is it?" she asked once more, scanning Raskolnikov intently and weighing the pledge in her hand."A thing... cigarette case...Silver... Lookat it.""It does not seem somehow like silver...How he had wrapped it up!"Try to untie the string and turning to the window, to the light (all her windows were shut, in spite of the stifling heat), she left him altogether for some seconds and stood with her back to him. He unbuttoned his coat and freed the axe from the noose, but did not yet take it out altogether, simply holding it in his right hand under the coat. His hands were fearfully weak, he felt them every moment growing more numb and more wooden. He was afraid he would let the axe slip and fall... A sudden giddiness came over him.1. "... she had already guessed everything" means that the old woman ________A. was sure that he had stolen something.B. was aware that he was sick unto death.C. was sure that he was up to somethingevil.D. knew what he had brought her.2. That Raskolnikov had probably done some careful planning, prior to his commission of a crime is indicated by which of the following statements?A. "She looked intently, maliciously andmistrustfully."B. "Why do you look at me as though youdid not know me?"C. "Have you been bathing, or what?"D. "How he has wrapped it up!"3.

Raskolnikov's cunning.D. nothing more than a mere coincidence.5. The mood of the passage is one ofA. thoughtfulnessB. disgustC. nonchalance.D. anxietyTEXT B WIT AND HUMORI am not sure that I can draw an exact line between wit and humor (perhaps the distinction is so subtle that only those persons can decide who have long white beards); but even an ignorant person may express an opinion in this matter.I am quite positive that humor is the more comfortable and lovable quality, for humorous persons, if their gift is genuine and not a mere shine upon the surface, are always agreeable companions. They have pleasant mouths turned up at the corners, to which the greatMaster of Marionettes has fixed the strings and he holds them in his nimblest fingers to twitch them at the slightest jest. But the mouth of a merely witty man is hard and sour. Nor is the flash from a witty man always comforting, but a humorous man radiates a general pleasure.I admire wit, but I have no real liking for it; it has been too often employed against me, whereas humor is always an ally: it never points an impertinent finger into my defects. A wit's tongue, however, is as sharp as a donkey's stick ___ I may gallop the faster for its prodding, but the touch behind is too persuasive for any comfort.Wit is a lean creature with a sharp inquiring nose, whereas humor has a kindly eye and a comfortable girth. Wit has a better voice in a solo, but humor comes into the chorus best.Wit keeps the season's fashions and is precise in the phrases and judgements of the day, but humor is concerned with homelyeternal things.6. The author's attitude toward wit can most accurately be described as _______A. cautious admiration.B. wholehearted amusement.C. tolerant disapprovalD. aversion7. A wit's tongue is like a donkey's stick in that both ______A. consider their victim's feelings.B. are gently persuasiveC. goad their victims.D. are used with definite purpose.8. The author thinks of humor as an ally because it ________A. seldom fails to amuse people.B. is enjoyableC. can be employed against others.D. does not cause discomfort.9. Implied but not stated:A. Humor is always genuine.B. Wit is more nimble that humor.C. Humorous persons have pleasant faces.D.Humor comes by more naturallythan wit.10. The distinction between wit and humor is _______A. of no particular importance.B. solely a matter of opinion.C. subtle.D. exact and important.TEXT C Which is a catalog card in a library and answer question 11.PR2065G31 B81966 Burrow, John Anthony.A Reading of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by J.

Estimates of costsD. Large or small repairsTEXT EWherever a dramatic author is asked to discuss "the mission of the playwright", there is a great temptation for him to become pretentious. Instead of being just a hardworking writer, he suddenly becomes a man with a mission. For a moment this makes him feel quite important and he begins to think about his mission: to hold up the mirror to nature, to interpret a generation to itself, to question outmoded conventions, to protest, to extol, to criticize--- and so on through the cliches.Ask a hundred playwrights what they see as their mission and you will get a hundred different answers. Playwriting, like any other kind of writing, is a highly personal matter. The dramatist writes out of a personal need to express himself on some facet of his world--- on social abuse, personal morality, the need for love and understanding, loneliness, or whatever. None of these is better than anyother, only different. Nor is the playwright any less worthy who simply sets out to entertain his audience, to amuse it, to make it laugh.The mission of the playwright, then, is to look into his heart and write, to write of whatever concerns him at the moment, to write with passion and conviction. Of course, the measure of the man will be the measure of his plays. A man cannot express more than is in him, though often, to his regret, he expresses less because of almost the inevitable failure to realize his vision fully.Of course, the writer whose heart beats in a too special way, whose interests and concerns are esoteric, will probably not be a good playwright because---to get back to the cliches, as we must---a writer does reflect nature, does interpret his generation to itself; and if he and his concerns are far removed from his generation, an audience will find no recognition in his work and therefore no pleasure, no enlightenment.13. If a playwright neither reflects nature nor interprets his generation to itself, he_________A. may not be understood by his audience.B. will become successful.C. will not write of whatever concerns him.D. cannot define his "mission".14. A playwright _________A. usually expresses more than what is inhim.B. usually realizes his vision fullyC. can always express more than what isin him.D. often expresses less than what is inhim.15. "To hold the mirror up to nature" "to interpret a generation to itself," these are_________A. examples of cliches used byplaywrights.B. what playwrights conceive to be theirmission.C. the only real missions of the playwright.D. both A and B.Notes:extol --- to praise very highlyesoteric --- limitedⅦ.

We have left out its title, which indicates clearly its purpose, in the hope that the reader will reconstruct it after reading the text.Sunnyside is one of the few surviving and best-documented examples of American romanticism in architecture and landscape design. Andrew Jackson Downing featured Sunnyside in his Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening (1841) as an example of the "progressive improvement in Rural Architecture..." which, he explained, strives to be in "perfect keeping" with "surrounding nature" by its "varied" and "picturesque" outline. 'Architectural beauty," he taught, "must be considered conjointly with the beauty of the landscape,"Walking the 24-acre grounds is a pleasure in every season. Swans glide on the pond Irving called "the little Mediterranean", and a stone flume delights the ear with the sound of rushing water. A path leads up a small rise and from there down into "the glen," and up to the house. Behind the house, another path winds along the Hudson for views of the river at its widest point, the Tappan Zee.The modest stone cottage which was later to become Sunnysidewas originally a tenant farmer's house built in the late-seventeenthcentury on the Philipsburg Manor. During the eighteenth century, thecottage was owned by a branch of the Van Tassel family, the nameIrving later immortalized in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".Irving purchased the cottage in 1835 and directed the remodeling,adding Dutch-stepped gables, ancient weathervanes, and developingGothic and Romanesque architectural features for other parts of thehouse. He was so pleased with his home that in 1836 he wrote to hisbrother, Peter: "I am living most cozily and delightfully in this dear,bright little home, which I have fitted up to my own humor. Everythinggoes on cheerily in my little household and I would not exchange thecottage for any chateau in Christendom."Today's visitor to Sunnyside sees Irving's home much as itappeared during the final years of his life. The author's booklined studycontains his writing desk—a gift from his publisher, G.P. Putnam andmany personal possessions. The dining room, in which Irving and hisdinner guests often gathered to enjoy the beautiful sunsets over theHudson River, adjoins the parlor. Here Irving played his flute, while hisnieces, Sarah and Catherine, accompanied him on the rosewood piano.The piano and other original furnishings still grace the room. The smallpicture gallery off the parlor contains some original illustrations forIrving's work. The kitchen was quite advanced for its day, having a hotwater boiler and running water fed from the pond through agravity-blow system. The iron cookstove was also a "modernconvenience," replacing the open hearth in the 1850's.The second floor of the house contains several bedrooms, each ofwhich has its own personal character. The guest bedroom is furnishedwith a French-style bed and painted cottage pieces. The ingeniousarches in this and other rooms were designed by Irving. His bedroom,where he died in 1859, contains the author's tester Sheraton bed, alongwith his walking stick and a number of his garments and personaleffects. The small, bright room between the bedrooms might have beenused by Irving's nephew and biographer, Pierre Munro Irving, whocared for his uncle during the last months of his life. The room wasused originally to store books and papers. The bedroom used byIrving's nieces contains an Irving-family field bed with hand-madebobbin lace hangings, a chest of drawers, sewing stands, and anornamental stove. The guest room contains a cast iron bed probablymade in one of the foundries along the Hudson.Write True (T) or False (F)for the following questions.1.Sunnyside is the former residence of Washington Irving in WashingtonD.C2..Sunny side is a typical representative of Romanticism of Americancity architecture.3.According to Andrew Jackson Downing , architectural beauty must bein harmony with the beauty of the surrounding landscape.4.During the 18th century ,the cottage was owned by Van Tassel who wasmentioned by Irving in his book “the Legend of the Hollow” .5.Irving didn’t make any change to the cottage after he purchased it.6.Today’s Sunnyside has changed a lot compared with its appearance inIrving’s time.7.Sunnyside was built near the Hudson River.8.The study , the dining room , the parlor and the kitchen are all on thefirst floor of Irving’s house..9.All the bedrooms on the second floor are almost furnished in the samestyle.10.Washington Irving was cared for by his daughter during the last periodof his life.II 选择题Directions: There are 4 passages in this section.

For every socialsituation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gazewithout being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator,what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, considerwhat you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quickglance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat.Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction,you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. Soyou cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls“a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at theindicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Shouldyou break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator? You willmake the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely tofeel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are youtelling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation.For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner.They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, thendrop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again.▆▆■■■■■■■■■■■■。

课程名称：高级英语试卷： A 考试形式：闭卷授课专业：考试日期：试卷：共7 页I. Reading Comprehension (20*1%=20%).Requirements: Y ou’re required to read Passage 1~3 in depth and skim & scan Passage 4~6 and answer questions on your answer sheet.Passage 1I was born in Tuckahoe, Talbot Country, Maryland. I have no accurate knowledge of my age, never having seen any authentic record containing it. By far the larger part of the slaves knows as little of their age as horses know of theirs, and it is the wish of most masters within my knowledge to keep their slaves thus ignorant. I do not remember having ever met a slave who could tell of his birthday. They seldom come nearer to it than planting-time, harvesting, springtime, or falltime. A lack of information concerning my own was a source of unhappiness to me even during childhood. The white children could tell their ages, I could not tell why I ought to be deprived of the same privilege. I was not allowed to make any inquires of my master concerning it. He considered all such inquires on the part of a slave improper and impertinent. The nearest estimate I can give makes me now between twenty-seven and twenty-eight years of age. I come to this, from hearing my master say, some time during 1835, I was about seventeen years old. My mother was named Harriet Bailey. She was the daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey, both colored, and quite dark.My mother was of a darker complexion than either my grandmother or grandfather.My father was a white man. The opinion was also whispered that my master was my father; but of the correctness of this opinion, I know nothing; the means of knowing was withheld from me. My mother and I were separated when I was but an infant-before I knew her as my mother. It is a common custom, in the part of Maryland from which I ran away, to part children from their mothers at a very early age. Frequently, before the child has reached its twelfth month, its mother is taken from it, and hired out on some farm a considerable distance off, and the child is placed under the care of an older woman, too old for field labor. For what this separation is done, I do not know, unless it was to hinder the development of the child's affection towards its mother.1.The author did not know exactly when he was born because ______A. he did not know who his mother was.B. there was no written evidence of it.C. his master did not tell his father.D. nobody on his farm knew anything about it.2.In the mid-nineteenth century, slaves often ______A. marked their birthdays by the season.B. did not really care how old they were.C. forgot the exact time when they were born.D. pretended not to know each other's birthdays.3.The author’s mother told him ______A. his father was black.B. his father was white.C. nothing about his father.D. his master was his father.4.According the passage, when the author was very young his mother ______A. ran away.B. was light-skinnedC. had several children.D. was sent to work elsewhere.5.The author had not spent much time with his ______A. mother.B. master.C. grandfather.D. grandmother.6.The author was most probably raised ______A. by his grandparents.B. by an old woman slave.C. with his master’s support.D. together with other children.Passage 2When Franklin D. Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in 1932, not only the United States but also the rest of the world was in the throes of an economicdepression. Following the termination of World War I, Britain and the United States at first experienced a boom in industry. Called the Roaring Twenties, the 1920s ushered in a number of things -- prosperity, greater equality for women in the work world, rising consumption, and easy credit. The outlook for American business was rosy.October 1929 was a month that had catastrophic economic reverberations worldwide. The American stock market witnessed the ―Great Crash‖, as it is called, and the temporary boom in the American economy came to a standstill. Stock prices sank, and panic spread. The ensuing unemployment figure soared to 12 million by 1932.Germany in the postwar years suffered from burdensome compensation it was obliged to pay to the Allies. The country's industrial capacity had been greatly diminished by the war. Inflation, political instability, and high unemployment were factors helpful to the growth of the initial Nazi party. Germans had lost confidence in their old leaders and heralded the arrival of a messiah-like figure who would lead them out of their economic wilderness. Hitler promised jobs and, once elected, kept his promise by providing employment in the party, in the newly expanded army, and in munitions factories.Roosevelt was elected because he promised a ―New Deal‖to lift the United States out of the doldrums of the depression. Following the principles advocated by Keynes, a British economist, Roosevelt collected the spending capacities of the federal government to provide welfare, work, and agricultural aid to the millions of down-and-out Americans. Elected President for four terms because of his innovative policies, Roosevelt succeeded in dragging the nation out of the depression before the outbreak of World War II.7.Which of the following was NOT true at the time Roosevelt was elected?A. Stock prices were recovering slowly.B. The nation was in a deep depression.C. There were 12 million unemployed workers.D. The nation needed help from the federal government.8.The ―Great Crash‖ in the passage refers to _____.A. the end of World War IB. the Great DepressionC. high unemployment figuresD. a slump in the stock market9.We can infer that the author of this passage _____.A. disapproves of Roosevelt's ―New Deal‖B. thinks the Depression could have been avoidedC. blames the Depression on the ―Great Crash‖D. feels there was some similarity between Roosevelt and Hitler10.The best title for the passage is _____.A. The TwentiesB. The Great CrashC. The DepressionD. The End of World War IPassage 3In most sectors of the economy, it is the seller who attempts to attract a potential buyer with various induction of price, quality and utility, and it is the buyer who makes the decision. In the health care industry, however, the doctor-patient relationship is the mirror image of the ordinary relationship between producer and consumer, Once an individual has chosen to see a physician, the physician usually makes all significant purchasing decisions: whether the patient should return ―next Wednesday‖, whether X-rays are needed, whether drugs should be prescribed, etc.This is particularly significant in relation to hospital care. The physician must certify the need for hospitalization, determine what procedures will be performed, and announce when the patient may be discharged. The patient may be consulted about some of these decisions, but in the main it is the doctor’s judgments that are final. Little wonder then that in the eyes of the hospital it is the physician who is the real ―consumer‖. As a consequence, the medical staff represents the ―power-center‖ in hospital policy and decision-making, not the administration.Although usually there are in this situation four identifiable participants, the physician, the hospital, the patient and the prayer (generally an insurance carrier or government), the physician makes the essential decision for all of them. The hospital becomes an extension of the physicians; the payer generally meets most of the bonafide (真正的) bills generated by the physician/hospital and for the most part, the patient plays a passive role. In ro utine or minor illnesses, or just plain worries, the patient’s options are of course much greater with respect to use and price. But in illnesses that are of some significance, such choice tends to evaporate. And it is for these illnesses that the bulk of the health care dollar is spent. We estimate that about 75-80 percent of health care expenditures are determined by physicians, not patients. For this reason, economy measures directed at patient or the general or the general public are relatively ineffective.11.The author’s primary purpose is to _________.A. criticize doctors for exercising too much control over patientsB. analyze some important economic factors in health careC. urge hospitals to reclaim their decision-making authorityD. inform potential patients of their health care rights12.It can be inferred that doctors are able to determine hospital policiesbecause ________.A. it is doctors who generate income for the hospitalB. most of a patient’s bills are paid by his health insuranceC. hospital administrators lack the expertise to question medical decisionsD. a doctor is ultimately responsible for a patient’s health13.According to the author, when a doctor tells a patient to ―return nextWednesday,‖ the doctor is in fact _________.A. taking advantage of the patient’s concern for his healthB. instructing the patient to buy more medical servicesC. warning the patient that a hospital stay might be necessaryD. advising the patient to seek a second opinion14.The author is most probably leading up to a (n) _________.A. proposal to control medical costsB. discussions of new medical treatmentC. analysis of the causes of inflation in the United StatesD. comparison of hospitals and factories15.The tone of the passage can best be described as _________.A. arbitraryB. faultfindingC. analyticalD. inquisitive Passage 4First read the following questions.

More and more often, it seems, people are engaging hotel accommodations without prior booking, and leaving without settling their accounts.These ―silent departures‖have caused us —and other hotels as well —substantial cash losses. So far, at Grand Cay we’ve been able to absorb these losses without passing their cost on to our guests in the form of increased prices. But we’re approaching our limit.So, in order to prevent further losses of this sort, and to keep our prices as low as possible in this time of inflation, we are asking that — any person desiring overnight accommodation without a prior confirmed booking, please pay in advance the full cost of the accommodation.Only by the introduction of such safeguards can the problem be alleviated. Please understand our position, and know that the service we will provide you will continue to be the best we can humanly offer.Many thanks,Godfrey BillinghamGeneral Manager Passage 6First read the questions.19.According to the notes, for visitors, National Trust properties are not open ____A. on Saturdays.B. on Sundays.C. on Good Fridays.D. on Bank holidays.20.We learn from the notes, reduced rates are given to ____A. the handicapped.B. unescorted children.C. senior citizens.D. pre-arranged groups of visitors.Now go through the text quickly and answer the questions.NOTES FOR VISITORS TO NATIONAL TRUST PROPERTIES1.
