Directions: There are 12 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five
questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage One
This is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.
Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.
The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t know what they might do next.
But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才) who know exactly how computers get things done. These
18
young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.
161. We can know that the scientists who designed the machines ___D__________. A. are careless in their daily life C. are out of their mind
B. are unkind and cruel D. have great abilities
162. The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that __B_________.
A. they don't know anything about computers B. they haven't really understood computers
C. there are so many computer games
D. computers are often down
163. The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that __A__________. A. computers can be controlled by man
B. there should be more people devoted to computers C. only young people are interested in computers D. more time and energy is required to control computers 164. This passage is probably written to suggest that ___AC________. A. some day computers can deal with all human problems B. computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobs C. people should not fear computers
D. computer technology will not meet people’s needs in various situations 165. The author's attitude (态度) towards widely used computers is____A_____. A. positive 161-165 DBACA
19
B. anxious C. worried D. curious
Passage Two
Knowledge is power. But there is another thing we must remember. An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it most useful.
There are a great many good exercises for building up our bodies. Many of them may be done indoors in rainy weather. Indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those taken out of doors because in the open air there is more oxygen. The air in the house is not fresh. But out of doors it is very fresh, especially in the morning.
But what shall we play? There are a number of games such as football, basketball, races and so on. Any game with plenty of exercises is good.

Passage Three 176-180 CDABC
Survival is an art. Survivors are artists. The best acting is done in daily life, not on the stage. My late uncle Sir Alexander Korda, the motion-picture producer who could “charm money out of an empty safe”, was a gifted survivor.
Once, a group of investors called him in to complain that he had lost 5 000 000 of their money. Most men would have tried to defend themselves. Alex did not. “You are right,” he said quietly, “I have been wasteful, and careless. I have chosen the wrong scripts, paid too little attention to the budgets. I am too old for this business. I will retire. I only hope you will forgive me.”
Within an hour, the investors were busy encouraging Alex, cheering him up. It was out of the question for him to resign; they wouldn’t hear it. And by lunchtime, Alex had 2 000 000 more of their money and was back in the action again. When I asked him if he was happy about it, he said, “No. They would have put up three or four million, I think. Still, it’s a good lesson for you to learn. Always settle for less than you could get. It doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a gentleman.”

Passage Four
Time is the biggest problem of most students. It becomes particularly difficult when you have to do library research for a term paper or report. Finding information in the library can take so much time that many students avoid it until the last possible minute.
Library research does not have to be time consuming. If you learn to use a library efficiently, you can save yourself a great deal of time. The exercises in this section are designed to familiarize you with the library so that you can find the information you need quickly.
The first and the most important thing to know about a library is that when you cannot find something, ask a librarian for help. The librarians are paid not just to shelve books, but to provide information and assistance. The most helpful librarians are usually those who work in the reference room. They will help you get started on a term paper and even help you find material. There are two basic places to begin looking for information, the card catalog and the various periodical indexes. The card catalog is a list of all the books in the library. A periodical index is a list of all the magazine and journal articles written on any subject.
176. According to the author, finding information in the library needs a lot of time, so

Passage Five
Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I
24
do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.
Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to Oxford Street, it was so crowded that we decided to split up and meet again at the underground station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.
When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again. 181.

Passage Six
In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it”. The resulting difference can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial of an error.
186. According to the passage, the present tense in English is __A____. A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate future
26
B. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention C. basically the same in English as it is in Spanish
D. speaking without regard for native speakers
187. According to the passage, language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes
by_C_____.
A. asking native speakers for explanations
B. reading good books in the foreign language
C. comparing their speech with that of native speakers D. learning through trial of an error
188. According to the passage, foreign language students who do not interact with native
speaker will NOT _D_____.
A. learn very much about the foreign culture B. learn about the history of the foreign language C. have to worry about making mistakes D. take advantage of available language models
189. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about
making mistakes because __B_____.
A. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their language B. communication is the primary goal of language learning C. native speakers will ignore their mistakes
D. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language 190. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language
learning is that __C____.
27
A. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a language B. learners are often very afraid of making mistakes
C. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the language D. native speakers often do not tell foreign language learners about their mistakes
Passage Seven
I found my father a very hard man to understand when I was young. He was very short and thin and had large blue eyes. I could have loved him as I did my mother, but he seemed to hold us off so that we could not approach him or sit on his knee as love to do. I believe he had a hard life as a child, and I know that he left school at the age of ten and started to work. This made him an unsociable man, unfriendly even to the people closest to him. I never knew him to have a close friend as the other men did.
Everything he did had to be precise. If he chopped the sticks for the fire, each stick would be the same length and thickness as all the others, and they would all be stacked without one out of place. His motto was \In our household his word was law and nobody dared dispute it.
He worked hard when in a job and saw to it that we children learned the meaning of work. My mother did not have much pleasure but I do not remember her ever complaining ---except on Sunday afternoons when father would take off his clothes and get into bed, leaving her to mend his working clothes while he had his rest. This she disliked very much, for the clothes were dirty from the work he had been doing and she hated handling anything that was not clean.

Passage Eight
Have you ever wondered why different animals or pests have their particular colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Birds, especially seagulls, are very fond of locusts, but birds cannot easily catch locusts because locusts change their colors together with the change of the color of crops.
29
When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the color much like the barks of trees.
An even stranger act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over, its enemies cannot find it, and it immediately swims away. Thus, it has existed up to now though it is not powerful at all.
196. This passage mainly talks about _B_____.
A. the change of color in locusts B. the protective coloration of animals and pests
C. how a certain sea fish protects itself D. animals or pests can dye themselves different colors

199. Bears and wolves have the same colors as barks of trees because __D____.
A. they fear other beasts B. they prefer brown or grey colors C. they enjoy walking through forests quietly

C. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies unable to find it D. it can send out a kind of liquid which can kill its enemies
Passage Nine
Advertising has become a very specialized activity in modern times. In the business world of today, supply is usually greater than demand. There is great competition between different manufacturers of the same kind of product to persuade customers to buy their own particular brand. They always have to remind the consumer of the name and the qualities of their product. They do this by advertising. The manufacturer advertises in the newspapers and on posters. He sometimes pays for songs about his product in commercial radio programs. He employs attractive salesgirls to distribute samples of it. He organizes competitions, with prizes for the winners. He often advertises on the screens of local cinemas. Most important of all, in countries that have television he has advertisements put into programs that will accept them. Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements. We buy a particular product because we think that it is the best. We usually

Passage Ten
It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I am not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged （包围）by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglect dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their beauty through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage and concern for others.
In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts（概念）. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Plainly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.
Reading and learning is the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile（肥沃的）soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.
206. Why does the author say that beauty and women are twins? C
A. Women are born to be beauties. B. Women like to show off their beauty.
C. Women try to maintain their beauty by dressing up. D. Women are proud of their beauty.
207. According to the author, in order to stay young and attractive, women should _D_____.
33
A. follow the fashion C. do more exercises
B. dress up in beautiful clothes D. enrich their mind
208. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A A. As a woman grows old, her beauty will gradually disappear.
B. However old she is, a woman with some excellent qualities can still maintain her beauty.
C. Even a plainly dressed woman may have pure and real beauty. D. A woman with a young mind never feels old.
209. The word “relative” (line 1, paragraph 3) most probably means __B_____. A. similar
B. comparative
C. related
D. independent
210. The author believes that ___A_____.
A. women should lay more emphasis on their own qualities B. beautiful clothes can make women more attractive C. women have to show their beauty through their looks D. women are more curious about new things than men 201-205 ACBDA 206-210 CDABA
Passage Eleven
Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one's muscles also participate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.
You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their bodies or, more specifically, some parts of their bodies. Often
34
when one listens to a concert on the radio, he is tempted to direct the band even though he knows there is a competent conductor on the job.
Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot get all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himself into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body.
The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less pronounced. 211. Some psychologists maintain that thinking is__D____.
A. not a mental process
B. more of a physical process than a mental action
C. a process that involves the muscles as well as the whole body D. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain
212. The process of thinking and that of listening are similar in that __B____. A. both are mental acts processes
C. both processes are performed by the entire body D. we obtain equal enjoyment from them
213. The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of __D____. A. “feeling” the music
B. participating in the performance
D. all of the above
B. muscles participate in both
C. deriving enjoyment from the music
214. Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to B______. A. hear the music
B. appreciate the music
35
C. train the muscle music
D. figure out the real meaning of a piece of
215. The best title for this selection is _C____. A. An Ear for Music
B. Music Appreciation
C. How Muscles Participates in Mental Acts D. A Psychological Definition of the Thinking Process 211-215 DBDBC 216-220 ADBBD
Passage Twelve
The Red Cross is an international organization which cares for people who are in need of help. A man in a Paris hospital who needs blood, a woman in Mexico who was injured in an earthquake, and a family in India that lost their home in a storm may all be aided by the Red Cross.
The Red Cross exists in almost every country around the globe. The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent, the Red Mogen David, the Sun, and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.
The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant. In 1859, he observed how people were suffering on a battlefield in Italy. He wanted to help all the wounded people regardless of which side they were fighting for. The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention. It protects prisoners of war, the sick and wounded, and other citizens during a war.
The American Red Cross was set up by Clara Barton in 1881. Today the Red Cross in the United States provides a number of services for the public, such as helping people in
36
need, teaching first aid, demonstrating water safety and artificial respiration, and providing blood.
216. A good title for this selection is _A___. A. The International Red Cross C. Clara Barton and the Sun
B. Safety at Home and School D. The American Red Cross

B. Barton C. Dunant D. a prisoner of war

Paper was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very 236 used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a type of paper 237 from a glasslike water plant; Europeans used a writing material made from the skin of a sheep or goat 238 many hundreds of years.

Passage Three
When I was a boy, children always objected 241 wearing school uniform but teachers were 242 on it because they said all of us looked 243 . Otherwise, they said children could compete with 244 and the poorer children would be unhappy because people would see how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have 245 the idea of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear 246 they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own. When some journalists visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed in jeans. One girl said she would rather die than wear a coat instead of a jersey because 247 wants to look different 248 the other children in the class. Parents may not be as happy about this as children, but they 249 to be, because this new kind of

Passage Five
There are times when you find yourself unable to work out a problem. It is at this 261 that the way in which you use your teacher is important. With a good teachers such times should be less frequent than with a bad one, so the 262 the teacher, the more responsibility you have for your success! Whatever your luck in this 263 , one thing is most significant and stays the same, whatever the quality of teaching you 264 : if there is something you don't understand, you must ask, again and again if necessary, until you do understand it fully. 265 as this may seem, it is almost unbelievable how many people would rather sit in silent ignorance than admit not understanding. To behave in such a way is the only truly 266 thing a student can do: it's a false form of pride, which is the most useless, damaging quality anyone can have, to say 267 of a student! Therefore, regard your teacher as a guide or even a friend and do not sit 268 wondering what he's going on about. You may also ask a friend or classmate for help. Remember, there's always someone who is better than you in your class. And many newspapers and magazines set the special 269 for students, you can write to them and get replied in time. Listen to the radio, watch good TV 270 more often, maybe at a certain moment you'll find your question is being explained there and then. 261. 262. 263. 264. 265. 266.

Passage Six
The relations between men and wives are changing too. A majority of working women remain 271 their home; they come back at night to the cleaning, washing, and cooking that 272 their second career. But more and more husbands are sharing the burden and willingly 273 chores that their fathers would have rejected as unmanly, and as too much mysteriously difficult anyway. 274 such cases, man and wife become equal partners, both working outside, both pushing their vacuum cleaner. 275 , the number of husbands who do help in that way is much smaller than the number of those who accept the idea in theory, 276 the equal partnership is a fact, it does not always work well.
