Section B (15*2 =

)
Directions:
There are 3 passages in this section.
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 mark the
corresponding letter on the
Answer
Sheet
with a
single line
through the centre.
Passage 1
Questions 34 to38 are based on the
following passage.
?
Friendship
is
one
of
the
basic
bonds
between
human
beings.
While
the
characteristics
of
friendship might vary from one country
to another, people from all cultures not only
enjoy friends
but need them.
Many studies have shown that teenagers
who have no friends often suffer from
psychological
disorders.
It
has
been
shown
that
teenagers,
perhaps
more
than
any
other
age
group,
need
companionship and a sense of belonging.
The negative consequences of loneliness have also
been
observed
among
the
elderly.
The
death
of
a
spouse
often
leaves
a
widow
or
a
widower
totally
bereft. If, however,
they are surrounded by friends and relatives and
if they are able to articulate
their
feelings, they are more likely to recover from
their grief.
“
No man is an
island.”
In
other words, we
are all parts of society. We all need the love,
admiration, respect and moral support
of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends
will provide
us with all of these
necessary aspects of life.
As
most
people
observe,
there
are
many
levels
of
friendship.
The
degree
or
intensity
of
friendship varies depending on the
personality of the individuals involved and the
context of the
relationships.
Extroverts enjoy being surrounded by many people
whereas introverts are perhaps
content
with fewer but more intense friendships.
Everyone is not equally open with all
their friends. The degree of intimacy is
determined by many
factors. Close
friends can be formed at any stage in one?s life
but they are usually very rare. Not
very many people have more than a few
really close friends. Irrespective of the level of
intimacy,
all friendships are based on
reciprocity, honesty and a certain amount of love
and affection.
second
paragraph implies that ______.
A)teenagers without friends will suffer
from psychological problems
B)a widow
or a widower will die very soon without
companionship
C)human beings need
companionship and a sense of belonging
D)both A and B
32
. “No man is an
island”(Line 1, Para. 3) implies that
______.
A)everyone is a part
of an island
B)man cannot
be an island
C)everyone is just a part
of society
D)society is an
island
33. The degree of
intimacy of friendship mainly depends on ______.
A)age
B)belonging
C)personality
D)culture
34. The author thinks that close
friends ______.
A)can be easily formed
when one is young
B)cannot
be long-lasting
C)are not rare for
everyone
D)are rare for
most people
35
.The word
“irrespective”(Last sentence, Para. 5) means
_____.
A)not respecting
B)dishonoring
C)regardless
D)considering
Passage Two
Questions39 to
43 are based on the following passage.
There are many ways of
defining success. It is accurate to say that each
of us has our own
concept
of
success
to
the
extent
that
each
of
us
is
responsible
for
setting
our
own
goals
and
determining whether we have met these
goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses
unique
differences in genetic ability
and favorable environments in which to express
these abilities, it is
necessarily true
that we must define success broadly.
For some
people, simply being able to live their life with
a minimum of misery and suffering
is
considered a success. Think of the peace of mind
of
the poor shepherd who tends his
sheep,
enjoys his frugal life with his
family in the beauty of nature, and who is
respected because he does
a good job of
achieving the goals expected of and accepted by
his and his society. On the other
hand,
it seems that even though some people appear to be
rich in material possessions, many of
them
seem
to
be
miserable
and
consider
themselves
unsuccessful
when
judged
by
their
own
standards
of
success.
Because
not
all
ventures
can
be
successful,
one
should
not
set
unrealistic
goals
for
achieving
success,
but
if
one
has
self-
confidence
it
would
be
unfortunate
to
set
one?s
goals
at too low a level of achievement.
A wise
counselor once said to a young man who was
experiencing frustration with his own
professional success:
in traveling. Sometimes one can be very
successful merely by taking a walk in the park or
riding
the
subway
downtown,
The
counselor
added,
You
have
not
really
failed
and
spoiled
your
chances for success until you have been
unsuccessful at something you really like, and to
which
you have given you best
effort.
36. In the first
paragraph, the author implies that ________ are
essential in achieving success.
A).
ability and goals
B). ability and environment
C).goals and determination
D). goals and environment
37. The word
A). wealthy
B).
thrifty
C). wasteful
D). miserable
38. Some rich people consider
themselves unsuccessful because ________.
A) their life is miserable
B) their goals are too low
C) they do not live in peace
D) they are not
rich enough by their own standards.
39. The last paragraph implies that
________.
A) we should have high goals
B) success means taking a walk in the
park
C) success means achieving great
goals
D)
success means trying one?s best at what
one really likes
40. This
passage mainly talks about ________.
A) the definition of success
B)how to set goals
C) how to achieve success
D) the importance of goals
Passage Three
Questions 44
to 48 are based on the following passage.
In
cities
with
rent
control,
the
city
government
sets
the
maximum
rent
that
a
landlord
can
charge for an apartment.
Supporters of rent control argue that it protects
people who are living in
apartments.
Their
rent
cannot
increase;
therefore,
they
are
not
in
danger
of
losing
their
homes.
However, the critics
say that after a long time, rent control may have
negative effects. Landlords
know that
they cannot increase their profits. Therefore,
they invest in other businesses where they
can
increase
their
profits.
They
do
not
invest
in
new
buildings
which
would
also
be
rent
—
controlled.
As
a
result,
new
apartments
are
not
built.
Many
people
who
need
apartments
cannot find any. According to the
critics, the end result of rent control is a
shortage of apartments
in the city.
Some theorists argue that the minimum
wage law can cause problems in the same way. The
federal government sets the minimum
that an employer must pay workers. The
minimum helps
people
who
generally
look
for
unskilled,
low
—
paying
jobs.
However,
if
the
minimum
is
high,
employers may hire
fewer workers. They will replace workers with
machinery. The price, which is
the wage
that employers must pay, increases. Therefore,
other things being equal, the number of
workers that employers want decreases.
Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum
wage may
cause unemployment. Some poor
people may find themselves without jobs instead of
with jobs at
the minimum wage.
Supporters of the minimum wage say that
it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the
