Part II READING COMPREHENSION (15 MIN)
SECTION A
Directions: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements.
Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the
FEWEST possible answers questions are based on the following passage.


Since the Americans with Disabilities Act became law 10 years ago, the phrase “assistive
technology” has become a common phrase and a booming business. In addition to the installation
of sidewalk curb cuts and specially designed access ramps, lifts and bathrooms in public places, a
wide array of electronic devices and other equipment has been designed to help those with varying
degrees of disabilities lead more enjoyable and productive lives. The popularization of products to
assist the disabled has triggered a business boom life of many people with disabilities. The
advances have allowed people to live independently, to work and participate in their
communities.”
Many entrepreneurs get into the assistive technology business literally by accident. For
example, one of the world’s top 10 motorcycle racers was involved in a car accident in 1978
which left him blind. He then studied computer science, started his own company, and developed a
program that reads the content of a computer screen through specialized software and simulated
speech synthesizers.
Large companies are investing in products for those with disabilities. In June 2000, the
California Council on the Blind and Wells Fargo Bank announced what they said might be the
nation’s first effort to install talking automated teller machines. Wells pledged to install audio
headphones for visually impaired customers at each of its more than 1,500 ATMs in California.
Despite technological advances and the law that for 10 years has banned employers from
discriminating against job applicants because they have a physical or mental disability, not all the
news is good. The Center for an accessible Society reports that American employers have yet to
successfully tap the market of 43 million working-age Americans with disabilities. Although the
unemployment rate is the lowest in 30 years, Americans with disabilities still have an
unemployment rate of 70 percent, the same level as a decade ago.
16. According to paragraph one, assistive technology refers to technology used
to____________________________ ______________________.
17. According to the passage, the disabled people can operate wireless devices
by____________________________________ ___________ instead of hands.
18. According to paragraph 3, technology is a godsend in that it provides the
disabled_________________________ __________________.
19 . Which bank will be the first in America to install talking ATM machines?
_________________________________ __________________________________________20 .
According to the passage, the unemployment rate among the American disabilities 10 years
ago was _______.

Section B


Directions: There is one passage in this section. The passage is followed by five questions. For
each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).
A long-held view of the history of the English colonies that became the United States has
been that England’s policy toward these colonies before 1763 was dictated by commercial
interests and that a change to a more imperial policy, dominated by the objectives of expanding
the territory by force, generated the tensions that ultimately led to the American Revolution. In a
recent study, Stephen Saunders Webb has presented a formidable challenge to this view. According
to Webb, England already had a military imperial policy for more than a century before the
American Revolution. He sees that monarchs in the sixteenth century were bent on extending
centralized executive power over England’s possessions through the use of what Webb calls
“garrison(要塞) government”. Garrison government allowed the colonists a legislative assembly,
but real authority, in Webb’s view, belonged to the colonial governor, who was appointed by the
king and supported by the “garrison”, that is by the local delegation of English troops under the
colonist governor’s command.
According to Webb, the purpose of garrison government was to provide military support for
a royal policy designed to limit the power of the upper classes in the American colonies. Webb
argues that the colonial legislative assemblies represented the interests not of the common people
but of the colonial upper classes, an alliance of merchants and nobles who favored self-rule and
sought to elevate legislative authority at the expense of the executive. It was, according to Webb,
the colonial governors who favored the small farmer, opposed the plantation system, and tried
through taxation to break up large holdings of land. Backed by the military presence of the
garrison, these governors tried to prevent the gentry and merchants, allied in the colonial
assemblies, from transforming colonial America into a capitalistic oligarchy(寡头政治).
Webb’s study illuminates the political alignments that existed in the colonies in the century
prior to the American Revolution, but his view of the crown’s use of the military as an instrument
of colonial policy is not entirely convincing. England during the seventeenth century was not
noted for its military achievements. Not until the war with France in 1697 did William Ⅲ
persuade Parliament to create a professional standing army, and Parliament’s price for doing so
was to keep the army under tight legislative control. While it may be true that the crown attempted
to cut down the power of the colonial upper classes, it is hard to imagine how the English army
during the seventeenth century could have provided significant military support for such a policy.
( ) 21. According to the long held view, which of the following is NOT the reason that the
American Revolution started?
A England’s policy toward American colonies had changed.
B England used to care more about commercial interests.
C England’s Kings had lost control of American colonies.
D England wanted to use military forces to achieve their objectives.
( ) 22. According to Webb, what is the reason leading to American Revolution?
A Monarchs were determined to extend centralized executive power over England’s
possessions.
B The colonial governors wanted to get away from the royal government.
C The royal taxation to the colonies was too much.
D The policy of garrison government was not welcomed by the colonial governors at all.
( ) 23. Who does “the executive” (Para 2. Line 5) refers to in this passage?


A The monarchs. B The colonial legislative assemblies.
C The colonial governors. D The common people.
( ) 24. According to Webb, what conclusion can be drawn regarding garrison government?
A Garrison government gave legislative assemblies in the colonies relatively little
authority, compared to the authority that it gave the colonial governors.
B Garrison government became a less viable colonial policy as the English Parliament
began to exert tighter legislative control over the English military.
C Garrison government did not favor the smaller farmer.
D The creation of a professional standing army in England in 1697 actually weakened
garrison government by diverting troops from the garrison stationed in the American
colonies.
( ) 25. What do you think of the author’s attitude toward Webb’s view?
A Supportive. B Unbelievable. C Sarcastic. D Doubtful.
