Part II. Reading Comprehension

(40%)














There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or
Directions:
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
Answer
Sheet
with
a
single line through the center
.

Passage One


To adjust your baby to the external world, educating him is your main assignment. How will
you educate him? What role will he play in the world?
According to Darwin
’
s theory of the evolution of the species, we are a competitive species
and one survives by adapting itself biologically to diverse environments through diverse ways.
Competition
was
a
resource
useful
for
the
progress
of
society
and
for
the
survival
of
human
beings.
Today, however, the challenges are different. The 21
st
century is a computer science age, but
there are environmental imbalance, deaths of thousands of children every day by starvation and
countless epidemics(
流行病
).Therefore, it is urgent that the philosophy of preparing our children
for competition and power be replaced by one of preparing them for love and cooperation.
The earth is a unique home to us all. The ecological(
生态的
)balance has to be pursued and
this pursuit reflects the internal balance of each living being. We must educate our children so
that they want to preserve nature and thus to preserve the opportunity to render themselves more
powerful and capable in society. Our children have to learn that we don
’
t need to practice actions
that benefit only our homeland while all other countries are destroyed. The destruction of other
countries and lives leads to the impossibility of the future existence of the place we call home. It
imbalances the eco-system and shades the hope of a better future. We must teach our children that
the main necessity of men and children is love. Love is good to ourselves, others and nature. But
it
is
getting
harder
to
love
or
to
donate
something
good
to
another.
We
are
not
capable
of
demonstrating
hate
to
a
flower,
grabbing
it
and
throwing
it
at
the
floor
and
stepping
on
it.
It
sounds insane! But we are insensitive to the extent of seeing a homeless person thrown there on
the ground and pretending it
’
s not our problem! Our exaggerated competition has led us to total
insensibility!
21. Darwin
’
s theory of evolution tells that________________.
A. cooperation leads to the progress of society.
B. one survives by adapting oneself well to the competitive world.
C. the survival of human beings depends on the progress of society.
D. one survives by cooperating well with others in diverse environments
22. Why should we prepare children for love and cooperation in the 21
st
century?
A. Because we are confronted with new challenges.
B. Because the 21
st
century is a computer science age.
C. Because they will live in a more completive society.
D. Because environmental imbalance has caused many deaths.
23. What is the benefit of keeping an ecological balance?
A. We can preserve our existing environment.




B. It will help maintain our internal balance.
C. We will become more competitive in society.


D. Our kids will live in a better natural environment.
24. Which of the following should NOT be embodied in our philosophy of education?
A. Our children should learn to cherish a love for mankind.
B. Our children should know the eco-system benefits us.
C. Our children should be educated to value our own homeland better than other countries.
D. Our children need to know that individuals are interdependent despite their differences.
25. The purpose of this passage is to __________.
A. analyze the role that competition plays in a child
’
s education.
B. propose that we should educate children to love and cooperate with others.
C. introduce the ways of overcoming children
’
s fears of stepping into the world.
D. explain why competition and cooperation should coexist in modern society.

where decisions were masculine(
男子的
),I had been afraid of the life of poverty and despair. In
the prime of my youth, whenever I thought about growing old, I always carried a profound belief
that
I
wouldn
’
t
live
past
the
age
of
28.
Tears
would
fill
my
eyes
and
bathe
my
face
when
I
thought of dying before my son became an adolescent.



I was thirty-six before I realized I had lived years beyond my deadline and needed to revise
my
thinking
about
an
early
death.
I
would
live
to
see
my
son
an
adult
and
myself
at
the
half-century
mark.
With
that
realization
life
turned
sweeter.
Old
acquaintances
became
friendships, and new acquaintances showed themselves more interesting. I did not live in undue
absorption in the beyond loves burdened with disappointments and betrayals. I found new loves
were coming.



I decided I would consent to living to an old age. White strands of hair would emerge near my
temple(
太阳穴
).I would speak more slowly, choosing my words just like an elder stateswoman.
My clothes would gradually become more distinguished-looking: gray suits and elegant dresses.
And while I would refuse to wear old ladies
’
comforts, I would give away
the three-inch-high
heels that had given me the advantage of being taller than nearly everyone else in the world. And
I
would choose good shoes with
medium heels.
I would keep company with other old women
who would be equally prettily dressed, and I would always have an elegant, well-dressed man
holding my arm.


Those
were
my
plans.
But
at
sixty
my
body
which
had
never
displayed
a
mind
of
its
own,
turned uncontrollable, stubborn and disloyal. My face became wrinkled, the skin on my thighs
turned
lumpy(
粗糙的
)
and
my
waist
thickened.
I
began
to
be
overwhelmed
with
doubt
and
pessimism.


But
now,
as
I
walk
slowly
nearer
to
my
seventieth
year,
my
optimism
has
returned.
My
appetites have also returned. True, I can
’
t eat fried chicken with potato salad and then head for
bed.
I
eat
smaller
portions
earlier
and
try
to
take
a
short
walk.
A
smooth
Scotch
whisky
still
causes me to smile, and a decent wine is received with gratitude. What I have learned so far about
aging, despite the old bones and the wrinkles of one
’
s once- silken skin, is this: do it. By all means,
do it.
26. The narrator believed she wouldn
’
t live past the age of 28 because_________.
A. her parents did not live past that age.

B. she could not live long without her son.
C. her husband was white and treated her badly at home.
D. the prospect of leading a life of poverty and without respect rendered her hopeless.
27. Deciding she would live to an old age, the narrator planned her future life in a way that she
would_________.
A. speak more slowly and wear old ladies
’
comforts
B. speak like an elder stateswoman and dress herself elegantly.
C. make friends with other elegantly dressed men and women.
D. wear shoes with high heels to give her the advantage of being taller.
28.
Which
word
can
be
used
to
describe
the
narrator
’
s
attitude
toward
life
when
she
reached
sixty?
A. resentful







B. optimistic








C. pessimistic






D. grateful
29. Which of the following statements is true about the narrator?
A. As she grew older, she found life more difficult.
B. Only when she turned 70 did she find life sweet.
C. As she grew old, she spent more time thinking about her bygone loves.
D. At different stages of her life, she had different understandings of aging.

A. Black women should earn more power and respect.
B. Different people have different interpretations of life and death.
C. Old people should pursue spiritual happiness instead of material things.
D. A person should be optimistic and try to enjoy life even when he is old.
Passage Three





Long bus rides are like televisions shows. They have a beginning, middle, and an end---with
commercials
thrown
in
every
three
or
four
minutes.
The
commercials
are
unavoidable.
They
happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the
bus window.
Gas.
Only
if
you
sleep,
which
is
equal
to
turning
the
television
set
off,
are
you
spared
the
unending cry of


The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you've traveled that
way before. Usually some things have changed---new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a
new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or
so. If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense story.
Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane?
After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle
hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you've got to be careful of
what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.


The
end
of
the
ride
is
somewhat
like
the
beginning.
You
know
it
will
soon
be
over
and
there's a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become harder as the
hours have passed. By now you've sat with your legs crossed, with your hands in your lap, with
