Part III. Reading Comprehension (40 points; 55 minutes)

Section 1

Directions: Each of the following three passages is followed by some questions. For each question there are four choices. Choose the best answer to each

question. Then blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage One

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

For the past twenty years, poll-takers (民意测验者) have told us that the vast majority of Americans report that they are “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with their jobs. But, when the surveys pose a slightly different question—“If you had to do it over, would you choose the same line of work?”—sixty percent of working Americans say they would choose another occupation. This seems to tell us that Americans feel that they are supposed to like their jobs but, in reality, they don’t. Most of us are stuck in jobs we’d prefer not to have. And some of us actually hate what we do.

How does this happen in a land where citizens are presumably free to do, and become, anything they want? First of all, some of us didn’t deliberately choose our jobs but simply fell into them. Later, there was never time to find out what we really wanted to do.

Another reason people dislike their jobs is the result of a change in the American

economy. A hundred years ago most Americans worked for themselves on farms or in small stores and workshops. Now, less than 10 percent of us are self-employed. Many of us work as cogs (轮牙) in the wheels of giant corporat ions. We don’t make a finished product with our own hands, and we feel that we are totally replaceable parts in the machine. Social scientists say that the happiest workers are the ones who are their own bosses—business owners, executives, and professionals. Working for a big company often results in a sense of powerlessness and malaise. Finally, being a member of the baby boom generation increases the chances of job dissatisfaction. In the struggle for careers among the members of this large population “bulge”, many people are losing out in the competition. These individuals may never achieve the standard of living their parents achieved, or go as far up the success ladder as they had hoped. The result is bitterness, and a feeling of being trapped in a “nowhere” job.

41. The best title for this selection is __________.

A. Job Satisfaction

B. Why People Hate Their Jobs

C. Nowhere Jobs

D. A Change in the Workplace

42. Which sentence best expresses the main idea of the selection? __________.

A. Job burnout is a growing problem

B. Large companies provide many benefits for workers

C. Workers are unhappy because they no longer work with their hands

D. There are several reasons why workers are unhappy with their jobs

43. According to the passage, the majority of Americans __________.

A. would choose another occupation if they could begin again

B. are self-employed

C. feel that they are supposed to dislike their jobs

D. work in factories

44. The author implies that __________.

A. job dissatisfaction is a sign of laziness

B. the baby-boomers despise their parents

C. polls can be misleading

D. working for a corporation is very satisfying

45. The word “malaise” (Line7, Para. 3) means __________.

A. depression

B. fulfillment

C. contentment

D. significance

Passage Two

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Most forest fires are caused by human carelessness or ignorance. Forest fire prevention, therefore, is mainly a problem of creating better understanding of the importance of forests, an awareness of the danger of fire in the woods, and a sense of personal responsibility to safeguard the forests from danger. This is not an easy job.

Careless smokers are responsible for thousands of forest fires each year. Many of these are started when cigarette butts (烟蒂) and matches are thrown from

automobiles. Others are caused by hunters, hikers (徒步旅行者), fishermen, or woods workers who are careless in disposing of their smoking materials. The Forest Service has posted rules in many of the National Forests that prohibit smoking except in certain designated areas. Many of the states have laws against throwing lighted materials from automobiles. The prevention of smoker-caused fires, however, depends upon changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people who smoke in hazardous areas.

The most important natural cause of fire is lightning (闪电). This accounts for 11 percent of forest fires on protected land for the entire nation. In the Western States, lightning causes a much higher percentage of fires than it does in the East.

Advances in knowledge of fire weather are helping forest protection forces to know when to be alert to lightning-caused fires. Adequate and well-equipped forces can control them quickly and hold the damage to a minimum. Experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds to pre vent or control the lightning itself have been in process for many years, but new breakthroughs are needed for any significant reduction in the fires lightning starts.

46. This passage is chiefly about __________.

A. smoking in forests

B. changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people

C. the chief causes of forest fires and their prevention

D. advances in knowledge of fire weather

47. Preventing smoker-caused forest fires is mainly a problem of __________.

A. building the proper knowledge and habits in human beings

B. safeguarding the forests from fire

C. posting rules in forests

D. holding the damage to a minimum

48. Lightning-caused fires can be controlled quickly by __________.

A. holding the fire damage to a minimum

B. people who have changed their attitudes and behavior

C. enough fire fighters with good fire-fighting devices

D. carrying out experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds

49. “Alert to” (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably means __________.

A. aware of

B. watchful for

C. responsible for

D. busy with

50. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? __________.

A. It is difficult to prevent forest fires

B. Smoking is allowed only in certain forests

C. 11% of the forest fires in the Western States are caused by lightning

D. Experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds have helped reduce lightning-caused

forest fires

Passage Three

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about

the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them；often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

Of course sometimes there were real disasters(灾难) which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes．Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore．At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries；however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.

Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell．A third department looks at the places where people work，and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course，new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness，but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products．

51.The main topic of the passage is _________.

A. conditions in the work place

B. the freedom of industries in the past

C. changes in industrial production

D. the safety and health of workers and

customers

52. It can be inferred from the passage that in the past _________.

A. workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions

B. companies were free to put out any products they wanted to

C. many people were killed by dangerous products

D. industries were as careful in management as they are today

53. It is implied in the passage that _________.

A. governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products

B. governments paid little attention to the safety of products

C. government officials often did not listen to scientists

D. in the past no safety laws were introduced by governments

54. Some years ago safety rules _________.

A. were put forward due to scientists’ recommendations

B. came into being as a result of the workers’ demands

C. were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously

injured

D. were effective enough to protect workers and customers

55. The special departments protect customers and workers in many ways EXCEPT

by _________.

A. testing new products

B. controlling the sale of products

C. designing new products

D. inspecting work places

Section 2

Directions: Read the following passage, and then decide whether the statements are true (A) or false (B). Then blacken the corresponding letter（A or B）on

the Answer Sheet. (对的在答题卡上涂A, 错的在答题卡上涂B) Passage Four

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.

When someone who is in good health dies suddenly, there is usually an inquest.

An inquest is a kind of court inquiry. The person in charge of an inquest is called a coroner (验尸官). His job is to find out exactly how a person died.

If there is nothing suspicious (怀疑的) about the death, he would decide that the person died from natural causes or an accident. If, however, he is suspicious, he may decide that the person’s death was caused by a person or persons unknown.

At one inquest, the coroner was trying to find out exactly what had caused the death of a local businessman, Henry Smith.

The man’s widow was offering the evid ence. She was very upset and had to stop from time to time.

The coroner did not want to upset her more than necessary, but he had to find out the truth. There were questions he had to ask her.

“Mrs. Smith, I know this is too much for you,” he said, “but I want you to think very carefully and then answer my questions.”

“You and your husband were having dinner at home. Is that correct?”

“Yes.”

“Suddenly he fell to the floor.”

“Yes.”

“Did he say anything?”

The widow lowered her head.

“Please, Mrs. Smith, you must answer the question. What were his last words?”

The widow took a deep breath and then spoke. “He said,” she whispered, “I’m not surprised you were charged only 50 cents for that seafood we had for dinner.” ( ) 56. An inquest is done in one’s home.

( ) 57. The coroner decides on the nature of a person’s death.

( ) 58. The coroner was very careful in asking Mrs. Smith questions so as not to upset her.

( ) 59. Mrs. Smith was quick to tell the truth.

( ) 60. The bad seafood was responsible for Mr. Smith’s death.

Paper Two

Part IV. Short Answer Questions (10 points; 15 minutes)

Directions:In this part there is a short Array passage with five questions or incomplete

statements. Read the passage carefully. Then

answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words) . Write your answers on the Answer Sheet of Paper Two. （请将此部分的答案写在试卷二的答

题纸上）

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.

All of us communicate with one another nonverbally as well as with words. Most

of the time we’re not aware that we’re doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or hands, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, or change positions in a chair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.

One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each

eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate.

Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.

Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body

movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an

American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing

something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. Another example: when a

student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than usual it can be a sign of respect, it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority, or it

can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not

for a separate meaningful gesture.

Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with

words.

61. How can people communicate with each other besides language?

_________________________________________________________________ 62.Like language, gesture is

___________________________________________________.

63.According to the second paragraph, an American will feel uncomfortable if

someone
