Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 with a single line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Navigation computers, now sold by most car-makers, cost $2,000 and up. No surprise, then,

that they are most often found in luxury cars, like Lexus, BMW and Audi. But it is a developing

technology－meaning prices should eventually drop-and the market does seem to be growing.

Even at current prices, a navigation computer is impressive. It can guide you from point to point in most major cities with precise turn-by-turn directions-spoken by a clear uman-sounding voice, and written on a screen in front of the driver.

The computer works with an antenna ( 天线 ) that takes signals from no fewer than three of

the 24 global positioning system (GPS) satellites. By measuring the time required for a signal to

travel between the satellites and the antenna, the car""s location can be pinned down within 100

meters.

The satellite signals, along with inputs on speed from a wheel-speed sensor and direction froma meter, determine the car""s position even as it moves. This information is combined with a map database. Streets, landmarks and points of interest are included.

Most systems are basically identical. The differences come in hardware-the way the computer accepts the driver""s request for directions and the way it presents the driving instructions.On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, motorway junction or point of interest via a touch screen or disc. But the Lexus screen goes a step further: you can point to any spot on the map screen and get directions to it.

BMW""s system offers a set of cross hairs ( 瞄准器上的十字纹 ) that can be moved across themap (you have several choices of map scale) to pick a point you""d like to get to. Audi""s screen can be switched to TV reception.

Even the voices that recite the directions can differ, with better systems like BMW""s and

Lexus""s having a wider vocabulary. The instructions are available in French, German, Spanish,

Dutch and Italian, as well as English. The driver can also choose parameters for determining the

route: fastest, shortest or no freeways ( 高速公路 ), for example.

21. We learn from the passage that navigation computers________.

A) will greatly promote sales of automobiles

B) may help solve potential traffic problems

C) are likely to be accepted by more drivers

D) will soon be viewed as a symbol of luxury

22. With a navigation computer, a driver will easily find the best route to his destination________.

A) by inputting the exact address C) by checking his computer database

B) by indicating the location of his car D) by giving vocal orders to the computer

23. Despite their varied designs, navigation computers used in cars

A) are more or less the same price

B) provide directions in much the same way

C) work on more or less the same principles

D) receive instructions from the same satellites

24. The navigation computer functions________.

A) by means of a direction finder and a speed detector

B) basically on satellite signals and a map database

C) mainly through the reception of turn-by-turn directions

D) by using a screen to display satellite signals

25. The navigation systems in cars like Lexus, BMW and Audi are mentioned to show

A) the immaturity of the new technology

B) the superiority of the global positioning system

C) the cause of price fluctuations in car equipment

D) the different ways of providing guidance to the driver

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

"The world""s environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss." If that were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints: from local smog ( 烟雾 ) to global clim

ate change, from the felling ( 砍伐 ) of forests to the e xtinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad.

After all, the world""s population has more than tripled during this century, and world output

has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or 1950, or indeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place: smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous.

But they don""t. The reasons why they don""t, and why the environment has not been mined,

have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in re-

sponse to popular pressure. That is why, today""s environmental problems in the poor countries

ought, in principle, to be solvable.

Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long term trend has been downwards.

It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign ( 良性的 ) trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise. Markets cannot always keep the environment healthy. If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it: fish is the best example of this.

26. According to the author, most students________.

A) believe the world""s environment is in an undesirable condition

B) agree that the environment of the world is not as bad as it is thought to be

C) get high marks for their good knowledge of the world""s environment

D) appear somewhat unconcerned about the state of the world""s environment

27. The huge increase in world production and population ________.

A) has made the world a worse place to live in

B) has had a positive influence on the environment

C) has not significantly affected the environment

D) has made the world a dangerous place to live in

28. One of the reasons why the long-term trend of prices has been downwards is that________.

A) technological innovation can promote social stability

B) political instability will cause consumption to drop

C) new farming and crop technology can lead to overproduction

D) new sources are always becoming available

29. Fish resources are diminishing because________.

A) no new substitutes can be found in large quantities

B) they are not owned by any particular entity

C) improper methods of fishing have mined the fishing grounds

D) water pollution is extremely serious

30. The primary solution to environmental problems is________.

A) to allow market forces to operate properly

B) to curb consumption of natural resources

C) to limit the growth of the world population

D) to avoid fluctuations in prices

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

About the time that schools and others quite reasonably became interested in seeing to it that all children, whatever their background, were fairly treated, intelligence testing became unpopular.

Some thought it was unfair to minority children. Through the past few decades such testing

has gone out of fashion and many communities have indeed forbidden it.

However, paradoxically, just recently a group of black parents filed a lawsuit (诉讼) in California claiming that the state""s ban on IQ testing discriminates against their children by denying them the opportunity to take the test. (They believed, correctly, that IQ tests are a valid method of evaluating children for special education classes.) The judge, therefore, reversed, at least partially,his original decision.

And so the argument goes on and on. Does it benefit or harm children from minority groups to have their intelligence tested? We have always been on the side of permitting, even facilitating,

such testing. If a child of any color or group is doing poorly in school it seems to us very important to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause.

What school and family can do to improve poor performance is influenced by its cause. It is

not discriminative to evaluate either a child""s physical condition or his intellectual level.

Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject, and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. The same fluctuation back and forth occurs in areas other than intelligence. Thirty years or so ago, for instance, white families were encouraged to adopt black children. It was considered discriminative not to do so.

And then the style changed and this cross-racial adopting became generally unpopular, and

social agencies felt that black children should go to black families only. It is hard to say what are the best procedures. But surely good will on the part of all of us is needed.

As to intelligence, in our opinion, the more we know about any child""s intellectual level, the better for the child in question.

31. Why did the intelligence test become unpopular in the past few decades?

A) Its validity was challenged by many communities.

B) It was considered discriminative against minority children.

C) It met with strong opposition from the majority of black parents.

D) It deprived the black children of their rights to a good education.

32. The recent legal action taken by some black parents in California aimed to________.

A) draw public attention to IQ testing C) remove the state""s ban on intelligence tests

B) put an end to special education D) have their children enter white schools

33. The author believes that intelligence testing ________.

A) may ease racial confrontation in the United States

B) can encourage black children to keep up with white children

C) may seriously aggravate racial discrimination in the United States

D) can help black parents make decisions about their children""s education

34. The author""s opinion of child adoption seems to be that________.

A) no rules whatsoever can be prescribed

B) white families should adopt black children

C) adoption should be based on IQ test results

D) cross-racial adoption is to be advocated

35. Child adoption is mentioned in the passage to show that _______.

A) good will may sometimes complicate racial problems

B) social surroundings are vital to the healthy growth of children

C) intelligence testing also applies to non-academic areas

D) American opinion can shift when it comes to sensitive issues

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

Not too many decades ago it seemed "obvious" both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people""s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to kin (亲戚) and neighbors, and substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances. However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the "obvious" is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.

Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds.Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.

These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, as Wirth suggested, there may be a link between a community""s population size and its social heterogeneity ( 多样性 ). For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan (见多识广者的 ) outlook, to display less responsibility to traditio

nal kinship roles, to vote for leftist pol itical candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.

36. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the first paragraph?

A) Two contrasting views are presented.

B) An argument is examined and possible solutions given.

C) Research results concerning the quality of urban life are presented in order of time.

D) A detailed description of the difference between urban and small-town life is given.

37. According to the passage, it was once a common belief that urban residents______.

A) did not have the same interests as their neighbors

B) could not develop long-standing relationships

C) tended to be associated with bad behavior

D) usually had more friends

38. One of the consequences of urban life is that impersonal relationships among neighbors_____.

A) disrupt people""s natural relations

B) make them worry about crime

C) cause them not to show concern for one another

D) cause them to be suspicious of each other

39. It can be inferred from the passage that the bigger a community is,______.

A) the better its quality of life

B) the more similar its interests

C) the more tolerant and open-minded it is

D) the likelier it is to display psychological symptoms of stress

40. What is the passage mainly about?

A) Similarities in the interpersonal relationships between urbanites and small-towndwellers.

B) Advantages of living in big cities as compared with living in small towns.

C) The positive role that urbanism plays in modern life.

D) The strong feeling of alienation of city inhabitants.

21．[B] 文章第二段中提到，导航计算机能够给司机提供精确的运行提示，既然能如此，也就能够帮助解决大城市中所存在的交通问题。由此可以推断，答案应该是B。

22．[A] 本题考查的是司机运用导航计算机的方式。文章第5段提到On most systems, a driver enters a desired address, 说明司机要想找到最佳的驶车路线，只需输入目的地即可，答案为A。

23．[C] 文章的后半部介绍了几种车型所用导航计算机的不同之处，一是the driver""s request for a directions, 一是the way it presents the driving instructions，由此可以判断选项B，D不对。从Most systems are basically identical可以判断，无论什么样的导航计算机，其工作原理大体相同，即C。

26．[A] 文章第一段通过假设的"方式，展示了作者心目中学生可能有的看法，从most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints …可以判断学生认为世界环境状况不容乐观，所以答案为A。

27[ C] 文章第一段最后一句The surprise is how good things are, not how bad似乎是说"人口的急剧增长与生产的扩大对环境带来了正面影响，但是，从下文的叙述方式来看，作者所欲说明的应该是"对世界环境的影响不大"。文章只是说the environment has not been ruined, raw materials have not run out, environmental problems ought to be solvable。从否定形式的使用可以判断，作者所强调的显然不是正面影响。

28．[D] 文章倒数第二段people have looked for new sources of supply, …. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms 说明从长远来看，价格处于下降趋势的原因之一应该是总能找到新的能源，即D。

29．[B] 本题考查的是具体事例与要说明观点之间的关系。文章最后一句If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it, fish is the best example of this.说明，鱼源变少的原因应该是它们不为任何实体所拥有，即B。

30．[A] 文章最后一段第一句It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign trend begins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise说明要解决环境问题，首要的是要使市场运作正常，即A。

31．[B] 本题为同义转述题。文章第二段some thought it was unfair to minority children，说明有人认为智商测试对少数民族孩子不公平，也就使对少数民族学生的歧视，即B。

32．[C] 诉讼中提到"政府禁止IQ测试是对他们（黑人儿童）的歧视，这样以来他们的子女就不可能进入特殊班级受教育"。指责其不公，自然是要取消之，所以答案为C。

33．[A] 从常识来判断，美国白人一般都认为黑人等少数民族的孩子愚钝不可教，因此不能进入特殊教育班级。智商的测试可以让人们清楚儿童在学校成绩不好到底是智力的问题还使其它原因（to know whether it is because he or she is of low intelligence, or whether some other factor is the cause），这样就有可能排除智力上的因素，所以对缓和种族冲突会有好处，能表达此意思的是选项A。

34．[D] 作者在提到儿童收养问题后指出su rely good will on the part of all of us is needed，显然是在说cross-racial adoption is to be advocated。

35．[D] 对于具体事例的作用，一般可以看事例前面总括性的陈述。本篇文章作者在介绍儿童收养问题前提到Unfortunately, intellectual level seems to be a sensitive subject，and what the law allows us to do varies from time to time. 然后说这种情况在其他场合也出现，如儿童收养。显然儿童收养问题所要说明的也是对于一些敏感的问题，法律所允许我们所多的不同的时期也不同。开始白人家庭黑人儿童是受鼓励的，到后来又变得generally unpopular，说明人们的观点会发生变化，即D。

36．[A] 根据文章第一般写作技法第一段不会结论，因此B不对，段中however的使用说明第一段所展示的使两种观点，答案为A。

37．[B]文章第一段所展示的第一种观点substituted in their place superficial relationships with passing acquaintances.说明人们以往是认为城市居民不可能发展长久的友谊。

38．[C] 文章第三段提到If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. 说明邻里之间很可能出现彼此都不关心的状况，即C。

39．[C]文章最后提到，大城市里居民比小城镇居民更见多识广，to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups，说明社区越大，人们越容易变得包容，思想也越开朗，所以答案为C。

40．[A] 本篇文章对比了大城市与小城镇种人际关系，但并没有强调在大城市中居住的优越，B不对；文中提到了很多城市居住的负面影响，显然C也不对；文章第二段中提到nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation,说明D也不对。由此可以判断答案为A。

Part IV Error Correction

S1 Viewing在句中作状语，与句子主语modern footballer之间是动宾关系，应该用过去分词，所以Viewing应改为Viewed。

S2 根据概念同现原理，目标准确才有可能得分高，所以从scores high来判断，inaccurate是错误的，应改为accurate。

S3. 句子缺少主语，根据主从句的意思来看，主语应该是he，所以在enjoys前加主语he。

S4 look up at为短语重叠，look up表示"敬仰，查寻"与本句意思不符，应该用look at，表示如果想了解这种转变如何发生，我们就必须看一看我们的祖先是如何作的。

S5 year为可数名词，这里应该用复数形式，应改为years。

S7 chasers, runner, jumpers, aimers, throwers 与pre-killers之间应该是选择并列关系，所以and应改为or。

S8 when用于引导状语从句，但是this immensely long formative period of hunting for food为名词短语，when使用不当，根据句子的意思应该改为after。

S9 主语为their improved intelligence为单数形式，所以谓语动词也应该用单数形式，were应该改为 was。

S10 根据话题原则，farming 应该改为hunting。

Passage 1

Nilrikman and others of the halfway research group have done some research into the differences between average and good negotiators. They found negotiators with the good trait record and studied them in action. They compared them with another group of average negotiators and found that there was no difference in the time that the two groups spent on planning their strategy. However, there were some significant differences on other points. The average negotiators thought in terms of the present, but the good negotiators took a long-time review. They made lots of suggestions and considered twice the number of the alternatives. The average negotiators set their objectives as single points. We hope to get two dollars, for example. The good negotiators set their objectives in terms of range, which they might formulate as "We hope to get two dollars, but if we get one dollar and fifty, it will be all right.". The average negotiators tried to persuade by giving lots of reasons. They use a lot of different arguments. The good negotiators didn""t give many reasons. They just repeated the same ones. They also did more summarizing and reviewing, checking they were understood correctly.

11.What do good negotiators and average negotiators have in common?

12.According to the speaker, what would good negotiators do?

13.According to the speaker, what does the average negotiator usually do?

Passage 2

To most of us sharks are the most dangerous fish in the sea and they attack humans. However, according to Doctor Clark, who has studied the behavior of sharks for twelve years, humans are not normally on the shark""s menu. What do sharks feed on, mainly fish and other sea animals? Doctor Clark also found that sharks don""t eat as much food as people think. For instance, a nine-year-old shark only needs two pound of food a day to keep healthy. But she says, sharks sometimes starve and at other times they fill themselves with what they have killed. Around the world, there are only about one hundred shark attacks on humans each year, ten of which proved fatal. But consider this, in the US alone, about three million people are bitten by dogs each year. Of these, thirty people die. If sharks bite you, says Doctor Clark, the reason is usually because of the mistake you ****natural food. For example, say you went underwater-fishing and saw a shark, you could be in trouble. The shark might go for the injured fish you had attacked and take a bite of you at the same time. If you go into a shark""s territory and threaten it, it might try to bite you. That""s because sharks are territorial and tend to guard their territory. Like dogs, they protect the area they think is their own.

14.What does the passage say about the eating behavior of sharks?

15.When might a shark attach humans?

16.What do we learn from the passage about sharks?

Passage 3

Science fiction writers have often imagined humans going to live on the Mars. But these days, scientists are taking the idea seriously. It has a great deal to recommend it, since it might solve the problem of overcrowding on the earth. But obviously, it would not be worth making the effort unless people could live there naturally. If the atmosphere were like that of the earth, this might be possible. But in fact it is mostly carbonoxidite. Apart from that, there are other problems to be overcome. For example, the temperature would have to be raised from 6 degrees below zero to 15 degrees above it. Scientists who study Mars have laid down the program that they can follow. To begin with, they will have to find out whether life has ever existed on the planet of Mars in the past. Secondly they will have to make a reliable map of its surface. And finally, they will have to make a list of the gases. Above all, they will have to discover how much nitrogen it possesses. Since nitrogen is four fifths of the air we breathe, they are surprising optimistic about raising the temperature on Mars and believe it could be down in hundred years. It will take a bit longer, though, to transform the atmosphere so that human beings could live there. Scientists estimate this will take one hundred thousand years.

17.Why are scientists interested in Mars?

18.What is the one of the things that must be done if a man can live on Mars?

19.Why do scientist want to find out whether there is sufficient nitrogen on Mars?

20.What is the prospect of people living on Mars?
