Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (30%, 2×15)
Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
In giving a business presentation, many speakers think that if their idea is strong,
1

their audience will get it readily. They feel discouraged when the audience is unable to
understand their presentations. That happens a lot especially when technical experts are
invited to make a product presentation to a group of users.
What can we do to make a business presentation easier to understand? In my view,
good presentations have always been simple and visual. In an effective business
presentation, the fewer the points, the better the message gets passed on. You focus on
the depth of coverage instead of the width of coverage. Additionally, you make your
ideas visual and relevant, so the message is understood better and remembered longer.
Great business presenters relate their ideas and concepts to their audience by using
simple, powerful diagrams instead of relying on text-based slides. In fact, drawing
diagrams forces a presenter to make the idea clear even at the preparation. It is
impossible to draw a diagram when you are not clear about an idea. When your idea is
clear, it is easier to transfer it. Most audiences understand a diagram faster and remember
it longer. This possibly explains why most of the memorable presentations have been
visual in nature.
11. Many speakers believe that the stronger their idea ______.
A. the more powerful their speech will be
B. the more meaningful their speech will be
C. the more easily the audience will understand it
D. the harder the audience will find it to follow
12. Why are you advised to give fewer points in your presentation?
A. To pass on the messages better. B. To avoid wasting too much time.
C. To allow audience to take notes. D. To leave more time for questions.
13. The speaker can help the audience remember the message longer by______.
A. displaying text-based slides B. avoiding long technical terms
C. focusing on the width of coverage D. using simple and powerful diagrams
14. The underlined word “transfer” in this passage most probably means“______”.
A. create B. pass on C. take off D. describe
15. This passage is mainly about______.
A. how to make an effective business presentation
B. how to present strong ideas in a presentation
2

C. how to focus on the depth of coverage
D. how to prepare a powerful diagram

Passage Two
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Blue Jeans Company was established in October 2012 and operates as a partnership
between Elena Horowitz and James Foster. In fact, it began in Elena’s basement when
they sold jeans to friends. And now the company has grown to have its own online store,
relationships with suppliers in Alisa, and local factories. The company has had its
revenues double every two months.
For our day-to-day operations, Blue Jeans Company has established several key
relationships and we can easily expand our production when the demand for our goods
increases.
We obtain the best organic cotton from two suppliers, one located in Turkey and the
other in Japan, which means that their supplies are produced without the use of any
chemicals. Once the shipment arrives in the US, it’ll be routed to our production and
shipping partner in Los Angeles. We work closely with our partner to ensure quality
through regular checks. It is also where the products will ship out.
Our office is located on 2029 Century Park East where all staff work together,
handling all online order processing and ensuring the purchase and delivery of the
products run smoothly. It’s also where all requests for refunds are handled in addition to
the future launch of the jean- recycling program.
16. Blue Jeans Company first started it business by______.
A. selling its product to friends B. doing business in an online store
C. exporting jeans to Asian countries D. supplying raw materials to local factories
17. “Organic cotton” in Line 1, para. 3, probably means “cotton______’
A. manufactured automatically B. grown in local regions
C. produced without using chemicals D. imported from foreign countries
18. To ensure product quality, the company______.
A. uses man-made materials B. observes strict regulations
C. checks its products regularly D. often asks for clients’ opinions

20. What will the company do in the future?
A. Sell its products worldwide. B. Handle all its orders online.
C. Establish a new office in New York. D. Carry out a jean-recycling program.

Passage Three
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Falls are the number one cause of death to old people at home. Most old people
can live safely at home if they make a few changes. Falls are common as people are
getting older. Up to half of home accidents could be prevented by making some very
simple changes. Here are a few suggestions:
Mark trouble spots with bright tapes. The first and last steps on stairs are usually
high-risk accident areas. Applying bright tapes and using bright light in these areas
would make these spots easier to see.
Put grab bars (扶手) in the bathroom. A large number of falls occur in the
bathroom. This is unfortunate because it’s easy to make the area from accidents. Putting
grab bars in the bathroom gives people something to hang on to.
Invest in a personal alarm. A personal alarm can be started if a person falls or
otherwise gets in trouble. With the push of a button, the alarm automatically sends a
signal, which gets someone to call and see if the person needs help.
21. By making some very simple changes at home, old people ________.
A. are free from home accidents B. can improve their health
C. are likely to live longer D. can live more safely
22. Last steps on stairs may become a high-risk accident area if they are _________.
