Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Passage one


Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, Each passage is followed by some questions at
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 center.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Interest in pursuing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by
chronic
(长
久的) personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.
Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons.
They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position
with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their
children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.
When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two
terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one’s educational
qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are
constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the
corporate
(公
司) culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The
challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place
to start.
● “Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of
‘cross- border’ job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not bean adequate description.
Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.”
● Pay attention to the resume format you use- chronological or reverse-chronological order.
Chronological order means listing your ‘oldest’ work experience first. Reverse- chronological order
means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about
which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for
the reverse- chronological format.”
● If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the
recipient
(收件人) uses British
English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example,
university education is often referred to as ‘tertiary education’ in the United Kingdom, but this
term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations
may assume that your resume contains errors.
21. Companies are hiring more foreign employees because ________.
A) they find foreign employees are usually more talented
B) they need original ideas from employees hired overseas
C) they want to expand their business beyond home borders
D) they have difficulty finding qualified personnel at home
22. The author believes that an individual who applies to work overseas ________.
A) is usually creative and full of initiative
B) aims to improve his foreign language skills
C) is dissatisfied with his own life at home


D) seeks either his own or his children’s development
23. When it comes to resume writing, it is best to ________.
A) take cultural factors into consideration
B) learn about the company’s hiring process
C) follow appropriate guidelines for job hunting
D) know the employer’s personal likes and dislikes
24. When writing about qualifications, applicants are advised to ________.
A) stress their academic potential to impress the decision maker
B) give the title of the university degree they have earned at home
C) provide a detailed description of their study and work experiences
D) highlight their keen interest in pursuing a ‘cross-border’ career
25. According to the author’s last piece of advice, the applicants should be aware of ________.
A) the different educational systems in the US and the UK
B) the differences between the varieties of English
C) the recipient’s preference with regard to the format
D) the distinctive features of American and British cultures
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Passage Two
Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment available
in the developing world. Women’s education may be unusual territory for economists, but enhancing
women’s contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue. And economics,
with its emphasis on
incentives
(激励), provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why
so many girls are deprived of an education.
Parents in low- income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect
them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody else’
s family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to
do housework while their brothers are sent to school- the
prophecy
(预言) becomes self-fulfilling,
trapping women in a vicious
circle
(恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces
an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can
insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance.
The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls,
as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous
circle.
Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous economic
advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female
workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big returns
are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning.


Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family planning.
26. The author argues that educating girls in developing countries is ________.
A) troublesome
B) labor-saving
C) rewarding
D) expensive
27. By saying “... the prophecy becomes self- fulfilling...” (Lines 45, Para. 2). the author means
that ________.
A) girls will turn out to be less valuable than boys
B) girls will be capable of realizing their own dreams
C) girls will eventually find their goals in life beyond reach
D) girls will be increasingly discontented with their life at home
28. The author believes that a vicious circle can turn into a virtuous circle when ________.
A) women care more about education
B) girls can gain equal access to education
C) a family has fewer but healthier children
D) parents can afford their daughters’ education
29. What does the author say about women’s education?
A) It deserves greater attention than other social issues.
B) It is now given top priority in many developing countries.
C) It will yield greater returns than other known investments.
D) It has aroused the interest of a growing number of economists.
30. The passage mainly discusses ________.
A) unequal treatment of boys and girls in developing countries
B) the potential earning power of well-educated women
C) the major contributions of educated women to society
D) the economic and social benefits of educating women
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief thinks he has got a great catch. But he is in for an
unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote
immobiliser (
锁止器), and a radio signal from
a control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not
be able to start it again.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini- cellphone, a


micro-processor and memory, and a
GPS
(全球定位系统) satellite positioning receiver. If the car is
stolen, a coded cellphone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicle’s engine management
system and prevent the engine being restarted.
In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. ‘The pattern
of vehicle crime has changed,’ says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take
him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if
the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won’t allow them to
start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the
ignition
(点火) key. In the UK,
technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since 1997.
But determined criminals are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting
bold of the owner’s keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted
with a tracking system.
If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a
signal to an operations centre that it has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms
due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal.
Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing, and
keep police informed of the vehicle’s movements via the car’s GPS unit.
31. What’s the function of the remote immobilizer fitted to a car?
A) To help the police make a surprise attack on the car thief.
B) To allow the car to lock automatically when stolen.
C) To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.
D) To prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the car owner.
32. By saying “The pattern of vehicle crime has changed” (Lines 1-2. Para. 3), Martyn Randall
suggests that ________.
A) it takes a longer time for the car thief to do the stealing
B) self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft
C) the thief has to make use of computer technology
D) the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old
33. What is essential in making a modem car tougher to steal?
A) A coded ignition key.
B) A unique ID card.
C) A special cellphone signal.
D) A GPS satellite positioning receiver.
34. Why does the tracking system set a 100-metre minimum before sending an alarm to the operations
centre?
A) To leave time for the operations centre to give an alarm.
B) To keep police informed of the car’s movements.


C) To give the driver time to contact the operations centre.
D) To allow for possible errors in the GPS system.
35. What will the operations centre do first after receiving an alarm?
A) Start the tracking system.
B) Contact the car owner.
C) Block the car engine.
D) Locate the missing car.
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Psychiatrists
(精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child
rearing-older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with
their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing
their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands
of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and
often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents,
particularly fathers, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable
dream.
Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried
that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader,
but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon
naps
(午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf. “You can’t get away from that.”
Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work
with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’
ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs
in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears
there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect
their child,” she says.
Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying
late and undergoing years of
fertility
(受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband. Randy, had
twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have
given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.” Kids of older dads are often
smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The
dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.”
36. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing?
A) Older parents are often better prepared financially.
B) Older parents can take better care of their children.
C) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children.
D) Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands.


37. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream” (Lines
7-8, Para. 1)?
A) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.
B) They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.
C) They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.
D) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.
38. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that ________.
A) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children
B) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced age
C) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodies
D) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energy
39. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joan Galst?
A) Approaching of death.
B) Slowing down of their pace of life.
C) Being laughed at by other people.
D) Being mistaken for grandparents.
40. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?
A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.
B) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.
C) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.
D) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.

Part IV Cloze (15 minutes)
Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are jour choices marked
A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best
fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single
line through the centre.
The part of the environmental movement that draws my firm’s attention is the design of cities’
buildings and products. When we designed America’s first so-called “green” office building in
New York two decades __71__, we felt very alone. But today, thousands of people come to green building
conferences, and the __72__ that buildings can be good for people and the environment will be
increasingly influential in years to __73__.
Back in 1984 we discovered that most manufactured products for decoration weren’t designed for
__74__ use. The “energy-efficient” sealed commercial buildings constructed after the 1970s energy


crisis __75__ indoor air quality problems caused by materials such as paint, wall covering and carpet.
So far 20 years, we’ve been focusing on these materials __76__ to the molecules, looking for ways
to make them __77__ for people and the planet.
Home builders can now use materials-such as paints that release significantly __78__ amounts
of organic compounds-that don’t __79__ the quality of the air, water, or soil. Ultimately, __80__,
our basic design strategy is focused not simply on being “less bad” but on creating __81__ healthful
materials that can be either safely returned to the soil __82__ reused by industry again and again.
As a matter of __83__, the world’s largest carpet manufacturer has already __84__ a carpet that
is fully and safely
recyclable
(可循环用的).
Look at it this way: No one __85__ out to create a building that destroys the planet. But our
current industrial systems are __86__ causing these conditions, whether we like it or not. So __87__
of simply trying to reduce the damage, we are __88__ a positive approach. We’re giving people
high-quality, healthful products and an opportunity to make choices that have a __89__ effect on
the world. It’s not just the building industry, either. __90__ cities are taking these environmentally
positive approaches to design, planning and building. Portland, Seattle and Boston have said they
want to be green cities. Chicago wants to be the greenest city in the world.

Section A
1. M: I think the hostess really went out of her way to make the party a success.
W: Yes, the food and drinks were great, but if only we had known a few of the other guests.
Q: What did the two speakers say about the party?
2. M: Can you stop by the post office and get me some envelopes and 39 cents’ stamps?

I see the dentist on Market street.
Q: Where will the woman go first?
3. M: How do you like the new physician who replaced Dr. Andrews?
W: He may not seem as agreeable or as thorough as Dr. Andrews, but at least he doesn’t keep
patients waiting for hours.
Q: What can we infer from the woman’s answer?
4. W: Tom must be in a bad mood today. He hasn’t said half a dozen words all afternoon.
M: Oh, really? That’s not like the Tom we know.
Q: What does the man imply?
5. W: Do you have the seminar schedule with you? I’d like to find out the topic for Friday.

up for you.

Q: What does the woman mean?



9. M: We’ve got three women researchers in our group: Mary, Betty and Helen. Do you know them?

what? Helen’s just the opposite.
Q: What do we learn from the woman’s remark about Helen?
10. W: Jimmy said that he was going to marry a rich French businesswoman.

an apartment with Mark.
Q: What does the man imply?
Section B
Passage 1
Unless you have visited the southern United States, you probably have never heard of Kudzu. Kudzu,
as any farmer in the south will sadly tell you, is a super-powered weed. It is a strong climbing plant.
Once it gets started, Kudzu is almost impossible to stop. It climbs to the tops of the tallest trees.
It can cover large buildings. Whole barns and farm houses have been known to disappear from view.
Wherever it grows, its thick twisting stems are extremely hard to remove. Kudzu was once thought to
be a helpful plant. Originally found in Asia, it was brought to America to help protect the land from
being swallowed by the sea. It was planted where its tough roots which grow up to five feet long could
help hold back the soil. But the plant soon spread to places where it wasn’t wanted. Farmers now
have to fight to keep it from killing other plants. In a way, Kudzu is a sign of labor shortage in
the south. Where there is no one to work the fields, Kudzu soon takes over. The northern United States
faces no threat from Kudzu. Harsh winters kill it off. The plant loves the warmth of the south, but
the south surely doesn’t love it. If someone could invent some use for Kudzu and remove it from southern
farmland, his or her fortune would be assured.
11. What do we learn about “Kudzu” from the passage?
12. What will happen if the fields are neglected in the southern United States?
13. Why isn’t Kudzu a threat to the northern United States?
Passage 2
The word “university” comes from the Latin word “universitas”, meaning “the whole”. Later,
in Latin legal language, “universitas” meant a society or corporation. In the Middle Ages, the word
meant “ an association of teachers and scholars”. The origins of universities can be traced back
to the 12th to14th centuries. In the early 12th century, long before universities were organized in
the modern sense, students gathered together for higher studies at certain centers of learning. The
earliest centers in the Europe were at Bolonia in Italy, founded in 1088. Other early centers were
set up in France, the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany from 1150 to 1386. The first universities
in Britain were Oxford and Cambridge. They were established in 1185 and 1209 respectively. The famous
London University was founded in 1836. This was followed by the foundation of several universities
such as Manchester and Birmingham, which developed from provincial colleges. It was in the 1960’



s that the largest expansion of higher education took place in Britain. This expansion took 3 basic
forms: existing universities were enlarged, new universities were developed from existing colleges
and completely new universities were set up. In Britain, finance for universities comes from three
source: the first, and the largest source, is grants from the government, the second source is fees
paid by students and the third one is private donations. All the British universities except one receive
some government funding. The exception is Buckingham, which is Britain’s only independent university.
14. What did the word “Universitas” mean in the Middle Ages?
15. Why was the 1960s so significant for British Higher Education?
16. What is the main financial source for British universities?
Passage 3
One of the biggest problems in developing countries is hunger. An organization called Heifer
International is working to improve the situation. The organization sends farm animals to families
and communities around the world. An American farmer, Dan West, developed the idea for Heifer
International in the 1930s. Mr. West was working in Spain where he discovered a need for cows. Many
families were starving because of the civil war in that county. So Mr. West asked his friends in the
United States to send some cows. The first Heifer animals were sent in 1944. Since that time, more
than 4,000,000 people in 115 countries have had better lives because of Heifer animals. To receive
a Heifer animal, families must first explain their needs and goals. They must also make a plan which
will allow them to become self-supporting. Local experts usually provide training. The organization
says that animals must have food, water, shelter, health care and the ability to reproduce. Without
them, the animals will not remain healthy and productive. Heifer International also believes that
families must pass on some of their success to others in need. This belief guarantees that each person
who takes part in the program also becomes a giver. Every family that receives a Heifer animal must
agree to give that animal’s first female baby to other people in need . Families must also agree
to pass on the skills and training they receive from Heifer International. This concept helps
communities become self-supporting.
17. What does the speaker tell us about Mr. West?
18. What is the ultimate goal of Heifer International?
19. What are families required to do after they receive support from Heifer International?
20. What is the major achievement of Heifer International?
