When you

regard the language as the main thing.
When
you read a 52 in English, do you read it for
the story or for the English? This is a question
that is not
so foolish 53 it may seem,
54 I find that many students of English ___55
far more attention to
the story 56 to
the English. They read and enjoy and 57___ a
long time afterwards remember the story, but
do not 58 to study the use of words and
___59___ in it. For instance, they know the plot
of the story
___60 , but do not remember
a 61___ sentence in the story and can not tell
62 preposition is used
before or 63 a
certain word which functions as a noun, a verb or
an adjective.
Of course, it is all right to
read and enjoy and remember a story, and so long
as one 64 to know the story
only, one
need not 65 about the language. But the case
is quite different with a student of English.

IV. 阅读理解 (Reading Comprehension)
30%
Directions: There are three reading
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
then blacken the corresponding letter on the
Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
People can be
addicted to different things – e.g. alcohol,
drugs, certain foods, or even television. People
who have
such an addiction are compulsive,
i.e., they have a very powerful psychological need
that they feel they must satisfy.
According to
psychologists, many people are compulsive
spenders: they feel they must spend money. This
compulsion,
like most others, is irrational –
impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive
spenders who buy on credit, charge
accounts
(赊购账) are even more exciting than paying cash. In
other words, compulsive spenders feel that with
credit,
they can do anything. Their pleasure
in spending enormous amounts of money is actually
greater than the pleasure that
they get from
the things they buy.
There is a special
psychology of bargain hunting. To save money, of
course, most people look for sales, low prices
and discounts. Compulsive bargain hunters,
however, often buy things they don’t need just
because they are cheap. They
want to believe
that they are helping their budgets, but they are
really playing an exciting game: when they can buy
something for less than other people, they
feel that they are winning. Most people, experts
claim, have two reasons for
their behavior: an
allegedly good reason for things that they do and
the real reason.
It is not only scientists, of
course, who understand the psychology of spending
habits, but also business people.
Stores,
companies, and advertisers use psychology to
increase business: they consider people’s needs
for love, power, or
influence, their basic
value, their beliefs and opinions, and so on in
their advertising and sales methods.
Psychologists can often use a method called
―behavior therapy‖ to help individuals solve their
personality problems.
In the same way, they
can help people who feel that they have problems
with money and with spending habits.
66)
According to psychologists, a compulsive spender
is one who spends large amounts of money ______.
A. and takes great pleasure from what he or
she buys
B. in order to satisfy his or her
basic needs in life
C. just to meet his or her
strong psychological need
D. for no reason
whatsoever
67) According to the author,
compulsive bargain hunters are in constant search
of low prices ______.
A. because they want to
save money to help their budgets
B. because
they can openly boast of their triumph over others
in getting things for less money
C. and will
not have money problems if they can balance the
budget
D. because they feel satisfied if they
can get things for less money than others
68)
Which of the following is TRUE?
A. All people
spend money for exactly the same reason that they
need to buy things.
B. Compulsive bargain
hunters do not have problems with money.
C.
Business people understand the psychology of
compulsive buying better than scientists do.
D. Business people and advertisers can use the
psychology of spending money to increase sales.
69) The article is mainly about ______.
A.
the psychology of money-saving habits
B. the
purchasing habits of compulsive spenders
C.
the psychology of special bargain hunting
D.
the use of the psychology of spending habits in
business
70) From this passage, we can safely
conclude that compulsive spenders or compulsive
bargain hunters ______.
A. are really
reasonable
5
B. need
special treatment
C. are really beyond remedy
D. can never get any help to solve their
problems with money
答案:66) C 67)D
68) D 69)B 70)B
Passage 2
Hawaii’s (夏威夷的) native minority is demanding a
greater degree of sovereignty (主权) over its own
affairs. But
much of the archipelago’s (群岛的)
political establishment, which includes the White
Americans who dominated until
the Second World
War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino
origin, is opposed to the idea.
The islands
were annexed (并吞) by the US in 1898 and since then
Hawaii’s native peoples have fared worse than
any of its other ethnic groups. They make up
over 60 per cent of the state’s homeless, suffer
higher levels of
unemployment and their life
span is five years less than the average Hawaiian.
They are the only major US native group
without some degree of autonomy.
But a
sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii’s
first native governor, John Waihee, has given the
natives’
cause a major boost by recommending
that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves
whether to re-establish a sovereign
Hawaiian
nation.
However, the Hawaiian natives are not
united in their demands. Some just want greater
autonomy within the state –
as enjoyed by many
American Indian natives over matters such as
education. This is a position supported by the
Office
of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), a state
agency set up in 1978 to represent the natives’
interests and which has now become
the
moderate face of the native sovereignty movement.
More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which
declared itself a
new nation in 1987 and wants
full, official independence from the US.
But
if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it
is far from clear how many people this will apply
to. The state
authorities only count as native
those people with more than 50 per cent Hawaiian
blood.
Native demands are not just based on
political grievances (苦衷), though. They also want
their claim on 660,000
hectares (公顷) of
Hawaiian crown land (公有土地) to be accepted. It is
on this issue that native groups are facing most
opposition from the state authorities. In
1993, the state government paid the OHA US$$136
million in back rent (欠租)
on the crown land
and many officials say that by accepting this
payment the agency has given up its claims to
legally own
the land. The OHA has vigorously
disputed this.
71) Which of the
following isare referred to as part of Hawaii’s
native minority?
A. The Ka Lahui group.
B. People of Filipino origin.
C. Hawaii’s
ethnic groups. D. People with 50%
Hawaiian blood.
72) Which of the following
statements is true of the Hawaiian natives?
A.
Sixty percent of them are homeless or unemployed.
B. Their life span is 5 years shorter than
the average American.
C. Their life is worse
than that of other ethnic groups in Hawaii.
D.
They are the only native group without sovereignty
in the US.
73) Which of the following in NOT
true of John Waihee?
A. He is Hawaii’s first
native governor.
B. He has set up a
sovereignty advisory committee.
C. He
suggested the native people decide for themselves.
D. He is against re-establishing a sovereign
Hawaiian nation.
74) Which of the following
hold(s) a moderate attitude on the matter of
sovereignty?
A. The Committee set up by John
Waihee. B. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs.
C. The Ka Lahui group. D. The
Hawaiian natives.

75)
Various groups of the Hawaiian natives demand the
following EXCEPT ______.
A. a greater degree
of autonomy within the state B. more back rent
on the crown land
C. a claim on Hawaiian
crown land D. a greater say in managing their
own affairs
答案:71 A 72 C
73 D 74 B 75 B
Passage
3
Birth Order
A considerable body of
research has demonstrated a correlation between
birth order and aspects such as
temperament
and behavior, and some psychologists believe that
birth order significantly affects the development
of
personality. Psychologist Alfred Adler was
a pioneer in the study of the relationship between
birth order and personality.
A key point in
his research and in the hypothesis that he
developed on the basis of it was that it was not
the actual
numerical birth position that
affected personality; instead, it was the similar
responses in large numbers of families to
children in specific birth order positions
that had an effect.
Numerous studies since
Adler’s have been conducted on the effect of birth
order and personality. These studies
have
tended to classify birth order types into four
different categories: first-born, second-born
andor middle, last, and
only child (独生子女).
Studies have consistently shown that first-
born children tend to exhibit similar positive and
negative personality
traits. First-borns have
consistently been linked with academic achievement
in various studies. First-borns have been
found to be more responsible and assertive
than those born in other birth-order positions and
tend to rise to positions
of leadership more
often than others. However, studies have shown
that first-borns tend to be more subject to stress
and
were considered problem children more
often than later-borns.
Second-born andor
middle children demonstrate markedly different
tendencies from first-borns. They tend to feel
inferior to the older child or children
because it is difficult for them to comprehend
that their lower level of achievement
is a
function of age rather than ability, and they
often try to succeed in areas other than those in
which their older sibling
(兄弟姊妹) or siblings
excel (胜过他人). They tend to be more trusting,
accepting, and focused on others than the more
self-centered first-borns, and they tend to
have a comparatively higher level of success in
team sports than do first-borns
or only
children, who more often excel in individual
sports.
The last-born child is the one who
tends to be the eternal baby of the family and
thus often exhibits a strong sense
of
security. Last-borns collectively achieve the
highest degree of social success and demonstrate
the highest levels of
self-esteem of all the
birth-order positions. They often exhibit less
competitiveness than older brothers and sisters
and
are more likely to take part in less
competitive group games or in social organizations
such as sororities (妇女社团) and
fraternities
(兄弟会).
Only children tend to exhibit some of
the main characteristics of first-borns and some
of the characteristics of
last-borns. Only
children tend to exhibit the strong sense of
security and self-esteem exhibited by last-borns
while, like
first-borns, they are more
achievement oriented and more likely than middle-
or last-borns to achieve academic success.
However, only children tend to have the most
problems establishing close relationships and
exhibit a lower need for
affiliation (亲密关系)
than other children.
76) What is stated
in paragraph 1 about Adler?
A. He was one of
the first to study the effect of birth order on
personality.
B. He believed that it was the
actual numerical birth order that affected
personality.
C. He had found that the
responses by family members had little to do with
personality.
D. He was the only one to study
birth order.
77) The author includes the idea
that ―These studies have tended to classify birth
order types into four different
categories‖ in
paragraph 2 in order to ______.

A. announce what ideas will be
presented in the following paragraphs
B. show
how other studies differed from Adler’s
C.
explain how Adler classified his work
D.
describe the various ways that different studies

78) Which
of the following is NOT true, according to the
passage?
A. First-borns tend to do well in
individual sports.
B. Middle children tend to
have a preference for team sports.
C. Last-
borns tend to prefer games with fierce
competition.
D. Only children tend to prefer
individual over team sports.
79) The phrase
―more achievement oriented‖ in the last paragraph
is closest in meaning to ______.
A. more
directly involved B. more focused on
accomplishments
C. more skilled as leaders
