　　Part II Reading Comprehension (60 points)

　　Directions：There are five passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A，B，C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

　　Passage One

　　Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate，and each course which he/she attends gives him/her a credit which he/she may count towards a degree.In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester.A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.Normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year.It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period.It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his/her degree course，though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

　　For every course followed a student is given a grade，which is recorded，and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work，but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm.The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules，for example，by cheating has to appear before a student court.With the enormous numbers of students，the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity.A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him/her later in his/her career.

　　41. Normally a student would at least attend _____classes each week.

　　A.36 B.12 C.20 D.15

　　42. According to the first paragraph，an American student is allowed _____.

　　A. to live in a different university

　　B. to take a particular course in a different university

　　C. to live at home and drive to classes

　　D. to get two degrees from two different universities

　　43. American university students are usually under pressure of work because _____.

　　A. their academic performance will affect their future careers

　　B. they are heavily involved in student affairs

　　C. they have to observe university discipline

　　D. they want to run for positions of authority

　　44. Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student organizations probably because _____.

　　A. they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study

　　B. they will then be able to stay longer in the university

　　C. such positions help them get better jobs

　　D. such positions are usually well paid

　　45. The student organizations seem to be effective in _____.

　　A. dealing with the academic affairs of the university

　　B. ensuring that the students observe university regulations

　　C. evaluating students’ performance by bringing them before a court

　　D. keeping up the students’ enthusiasm for social activities

　　Passage Two

　　On June 17，1744，the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations.The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College.In a 1etter the next day they refused the offer as follows：

　　We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges，and that the cost of living of our young men，while with you，would be very expensive to you.We are convinced that mean to do us good by your proposal;and we thank you heartily.But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things，and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours.We have had some experience of it.Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces：they were taught all your sciences;but，when they came back to us，they were bad runners，ignorant of every means of living in the woods…They were totally good for nothing.

　　We are，however，not the less obliged by your kind offer，though we refuse to accept it;and， to show our grateful sense of it，if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons.We will take care of their education，teach them in all we know，and makes men of them.

　　46.The passage is about _____.

　　A. the talk between the Indians and the officials

　　B. the colleges of the northern provinces

　　C. the educational values of the Indians

　　D. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century

　　47.The Indians’ chief purpose in writing the letter seems to be to _____.

　　49.Different from the officials’ view of education，the Indians thought _____.

　　A. young women should also be educated

　　B. they had different goals of education

　　C. they taught different branches of science

　　D. they should teach the sons of the officials first

　　50.The tone of the letter as a whole is best described as _____.

　　A. angry B. pleasant C. polite D. inquiring

　　Passage Three

　　There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are，however，vastly different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.The problem is，how to encourage a child to express himself/herself freely and confidently in writing without holding him/her back with the complexities of spelling?

　　If spelling becomes the only focal point of his/her teacher’s interest，clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”.He/she will tend to write only words within his/her spelling range，choosing to avoid adventurous language.That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.

　　1 was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience：“This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible(难以辨认的).”It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing，but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay，which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings.The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors，but if his/her priorities had centered on the child’s ideas，an expression of his/her disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

　　51. Teachers differ in their opinions about _____.

　　A. the difficulties in teaching spelling

　　B. the role of spelling in general language development

　　C. the complexities of the basic writing skills

　　D. the necessity of teaching spelling

　　52. The expression “play safe’’ probably means _____.

　　A. to write carefully B. to do as teachers say

　　C. to use dictionaries frequently D. to avoid using words one is not sure of

　　53. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that _____.

　　A. students will be able to express their ideas more freely

　　B. teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes

　　C. students will have more confidence in writing

　　D. students will learn to be independent of teachers

　　54. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is _____.

　　A. reasonable B. unfair C. foolish D. careless

　　55. The major point discussed in the passage is _____.

　　A. the importance of developing writing skills

　　B. the complexities of spelling

　　C. the correct way of marking compositions

　　D. the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition

　　Passage Four

　　Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness，but Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation.He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.

　　During the hours when you labour through your work you may say that you’re “hot”.That’s true.The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak.For some people the peak comes during the forenoon.For others it comes in the afternoon or evening.No one has discovered why this is so，but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语) as：“Get up.John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the family has.

　　You can’t change your energy cycle，but you can learn to make your life fit it better.Habit can help，Dr.Kleitman believes.Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway.Counteract(对抗)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to.If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day，rise before your usual hour.This won’t change your cycle，but you’ll get up steam(鼓起干劲)and work better at your low point.

　　Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch.Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor.Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.Whenever possible，do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

　　56.If a person finds getting up early a problem，most probably he/she _____.

　　A. is a lazy person

　　B. refuses to follow his/her own energy cycle

　　C. is not sure when his/her energy is low

　　D. is at his/her peak in the afternoon or evening

　　57.Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?

　　A. Unawareness of energy cycles.

　　B. Familiar monologues.

　　C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.

　　D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.

　　58.If one wants to work more efficiently at his/her low point in the morning，he/she should _____.

　　A. change his/her energy cycle B. overcome his/her laziness

　　C. get up earlier than usual D. go to bed earlier

　　59.You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _____.

　　A. help to keep your energy for the day’s work

　　B. help you to control your temper early in the day

　　C. enable you to concentrate on your routine work

　　D. keep your energy cycle under control all day

　　60.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

　　A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.

　　B. Dr.Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.

　　C. Habit helps a person adapt to his/her own energy cycle.

　　D. Children have energy cycles，too.

　　Passage Five

　　In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history，the earth’s postwar era，there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day.Already today，less than forty years later，as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives，we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem.People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are reluctant to challenge their authority.Indeed，they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed，or that，a computer may simply malfunction(失误).

　　Obviously，there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers，but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.

　　Questioning and routine double—checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days.Maybe each computer should come with the warning：for all the help this computer may provide，it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.

　　61. What is the main purpose of this passage?

　　A. To look back to the early days of computers.

　　B. To explain what technical problems may occur with computers.

　　C. To discourage unnecessary investment in computers.

　　D. To warn against a mentally lazy attitude towards computers.

　　62. According to the passage，the initial concern about computers was that they might _____.

　　A. change our personal lives B. take control of the world

　　C. create unforeseen problems D. affect our business

　　63. The passage recommends those dealing with computers to _____.

　　A. be reasonably doubtful about them

　　B. check all their answers

　　C. substitute them for basic thinking

　　D. use them for business purposes only

　　64.The passage suggests that the present-day problem with regard to computers is _____.

　　A. challenging B. psychological C. dramatic D. fundamental

　　65.It can be inferred from the passage that the author would disapprove of _____.

　　A. investment in computers

　　B. the use of one’s internal computer

　　C. double-check on computers

　　D. complete dependence on computers for decision-making

　　Passage Six

　　We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching.On the contrary，both their knowledge and experience are enriched.However，we feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming(把……按能力分班)pupils.It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates.It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children.After all，it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

　　Besides，it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability.This is only one aspect of their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full，not just their academic ability.We also value personal qualities and social skills，and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.

　　In our classrooms，we work in various ways.The pupils often work in groups：this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate，to share，and to develop leadership skills.They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think，to make decisions，to analyse and evaluate，and to communicate effectively.The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.

　　Sometimes the pupils work in pairs;sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments，and they can do this at their own speed.They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate.We encourage our pupils to use the library，and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently.An advanced pupil can do advanced work：it does not matter what age the child is.We expect our pupils to do their best，not their least，and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.

　　66.In the passage the author’s attitude towards “mixed-ability teaching” is _____.

　　A. critical B. questioning C. approving D. objective

　　67.By “held back”(Line1，Para.1)the author means _____.

　　A. made to remain in the same classes

　　B. forced to study in the lower classes

　　C. drawn to their studies

　　D. prevented from advancing

　　68.The author argues that a teacher’s chief concern should be the development of the student’s _____.

　　A. personal qualities and social skills

　　C. learning ability and communicative skills

　　D. intellectual ability

　　69.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the third paragraph?

　　A. Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.

　　B. Pupils also learn to develop their reasoning abilities.

　　C. Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.

　　D. Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.

　　70.The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to _____.

　　A. argue for teaching bright and not-so-bright pupils in the same class

　　B. recommend pair work and group work for classroom activities

　　C. offer advice on the proper use of the library

　　D. emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching

　　Part II Reading Comprehension

　　Passage One

　　41.[答案] B

　　[解析] 文中第一段第三句：“A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks;while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester.”谈到，每门课每周3节，一个学期可修4门或5门课。因此学生每周有12到15节课。但本题问的是学生至少每周要听几节课，是12节。所以B)项是正确的答案。

　　42.[答案] B

　　[解析] 这一段的最后一句话提到：“…to move between one university and another during his/her degree course”，意思是“学生在攻读学位期间可以到其它学校修课”，所以B)项正确。这一段内容总的是讲述大学生的学习情况，没有涉及他们的住宿问题，A)项和C)项不对，应被排除。这一段也没有在两个不同的大学拿到两个学位的意思，排除D)项。因此，B)项是正确的答案。

　　43.[答案] A

　　[解析] 根据文章第二段第一、二两句话：“For every course followed a student is given a grade，which is recorded，and the record is available for the student to show to prospective employers.All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work，but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs.”学生之所以始终处于一种紧张、有压力的学习状态之中，是因为他们所修每一门课程的成绩都将影响到他们将来的就业。第二段第二句话的“All this”就是指第一句的内容。因此，A)项是正确的答案。

　　44.[答案] C

　　[解析] 这道题是一个简单的推理题，涉及第二段：“A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him/her later in his/her career.”学生对竞选学生组织的职位热情很高，原因是学生组织的负责人受人尊敬，而且对自己今后的工作有益。因此，C)项是正确的答案。

　　45.[答案] B

　　[解析] 要回答这个问题，必须读懂第二段中的第四、五两句话：“The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities.Any student who is thought to have broken the rules.for example，by cheating has to appear before a student court.”可以看出，学生组织在保证学生遵守学校规章制度方面发挥着作用，所以选项B)正确。其他三个选项在文章中未提及，应被排除。

　　Passage Two

　　46.[答案] C

　　[解析] 印第安人并不赞同美国的高等教育。从整篇文章可以看出信中主要表明印第安人的教育价值观。A)项是文章第一句话。B)项说的是北方省份的大学，不是本文谈论的中心。D)项是美国18世纪中叶存在的问题，过于笼统。因此，C)项是正确的答案。

　　47.[答案] A

　　[解析] 要答对这个问题，需要读懂文章的第二、三段，尤其是第二段的第二句和第三句，以及第三段的第一句。他们婉言谢绝了政府官员请他们送孩子去读大学的好意。因此，A)项是正确的答案。

　　48.[答案] D

　　[解析] 它问的是从这封信中反映出来的印第安人的信念或观点。他们用实例说明了他们自己有更好的教育方法，因而客气地拒绝了政府官员提出要他们派孩子去读大学的好意。因此，D)项是正确的答案。

　　49.[答案] B

　　[解析] 从文章里可以看出，印第安人致力于把孩子培养成“真正的男子汉”，以适应丛林生活，而不是去修读那些“科学”和距离他们的生活较远的课程。他们在教育目标方面和官方观点不一样。因此，B)项是正确的答案。

　　50.[答案] C

　　[解析] 综观全文只有C)项‘‘有礼貌的”是正确的，排除其它项。

　　Passage Three

　　51.[答案] B

　　[解析] 这道题考核学生能否根据文章内容进行正确的推论。第一段第三句中：‘‘There

　　are，however，vastly different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority it must be

　　given over general language development and writing ability”，与B)项意思相关。因此，

　　B)项是正确的答案。

　　52.[答案] D

　　[解析] 这道题的目的主要是检查学生在有生词的情况下能否从文章中获取信息。在“play safe”这个短语动词的前面说，如果教师在评阅学生作文时，仅仅把重点放在单词拼写正确与否上，则聪明的学生就很可能“play safe”;其后一句话则说学生因此就会避免使用“adventurous language”，而只用自己能够正确拼写的词。因此，D)项是正确的答案。

　　53.[答案] A

　　[解析] 在文章第二段的最后一句话：‘‘That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.”点出了目的，即：使他们能够“pay attention to content”。此句谈的是如何在学生写作文时鼓励他们摆脱复杂拼写规则的束缚并随意发挥的问题，而不是有无信心的问题，故C)项是错的。文章中未提及教师可以少改一些错误(B项)，或学生可学会不依赖教师(D项)，以上三项均应被排除。因此，A)项是正确的答案。

　　54.[答案] B

　　[解析] 这道题要求学生推断作者对某位教师评阅学生作文时所持的态度。本题有一定的难度，但只要细心阅读，就会发现第三段第一句的谓语动词“shocked”一词集中体现了作者的态度。因此，B)项是正确的答案。

　　55.[答案] D

　　[解析] 这道题问及本文的中心思想。粗读文章就可以看出本文的中心思想是关于单词的正确拼写和写作内容的关系。因为第一段的最后一句话指出“The problem is，how to…with the complexities of spelling”，第二段的最后一句又说“That’s why teachers…rather than technical ability”。文中虽然提到A)项和B)项，但它们不是本文的中心。文章也没有提到作文评分的正确方法(C项)，以上三项均应被排除。因此，D)项是正确的答案。

　　Passage Four

　　56.[答案] D

　　[解析] 这道题的关键是搞清楚人们能否早起同什么有关。根据文章第一段，早晨起不来是与一个人每天的能量周期有关。根据第二段中John的自言自语，以及紧接着的解释：“John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening”推理，如果一个人早上不能早起，这个人的能量高峰就很可能在下午或晚上。第一段第二句说得很清楚：“早晨起不来可能有人称之为懒惰，但Kleitman博士却另有解释”，可见A)项不是答案。第三段讲到“你无法改变自己的能量周期，但你可以使你的生活适应这一周期”，可见并不存在“拒绝遵守能量周期”的问题，B)项也不对。C)项在文中未提及，以上三项均应被排除。因此，D)项是正确的答案。

　　57.[答案] A

　　[解析] 这道题要求看懂文章第二段的最后一句话：“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean，and which cycle each member of the Family has.”该句的意思是“如果丈夫和妻子能明白能量周期是怎么回事，了解家庭每个成员有什么样的周期，很多家庭的争吵就会停止”。也就是说，家庭争吵的发生是因为丈夫和妻子不了解能量周期是怎么回事，更谈不上了解每个家庭成员有什么样的能量周期了。因此，A)项是正确的答案。

　　58.[答案] C

　　[解析] 这道题要求学生依据文章第三段中最后两句话的信息做出判断。这两句话说：“…rise before your usual hour…work better at your low point”。因此，C)项是正确的答案。

　　59.[答案] A

　　[解析] 这道题考查学生的推理判断能力。回答这一问题应看懂文章最后一段的第一句话：“Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.”(“早上慢慢起床可以节省能量。”)，后面的三句话都是慢慢起床的具体做法。因此，A)项是正确的答案。

　　60.[答案] B

　　[解析] 这道题要求找出四个选项中与文章内容不符的选项。第二段第六句：No one has discovered why this is so”的意思是“没有人发现为什么会有不同的能量周期”，既然没有人清楚这一点，Kleitman博士也不可能解释为什么人们会在一天的不同时刻达到能量高峰。因此，正确答案是B)项。

　　Passage Five

　　61.[答案] D

　　[解析] 这道题考查概括能力， A)项回顾计算机的早期状况。B)项说明计算机可能出现的技术问题。C)项试图劝阻人们花钱购买不必要的计算机。D)项告诫人们防止对计算机产生懒惰的依赖心理。文章未涉及以上三项内容，故应全被排除。因此，D)项是正确的答案。

　　62.[答案] B

　　[解析] 这道题考查学生辨认具体事实的能力。答案就在本文的第一句话中：“In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history,the earth’s postwar era，there was quite a wide-spread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day.”其意为，在现在看来似乎是计算机历史的史前时期，即战后的年代里，人们普遍担忧有朝一日计算机会从人类手中夺过对世界的控制权。本题题干中的“the initial concern”(初时的担忧)指的就是那时人们的担忧。因此，B)项是正确的答案。

　　63.[答案] A

　　[解析] 这道题的题干虽然用了“The passage recommends…”的措辞，实际上是考查对第二段的理解。这句话的重点在“but”之后，作者认为“当你感到有什么地方不对时，一定要复查”(people should…check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong)。因此，A)项是正确的答案。

　　64.[答案] B

　　[解析] 这道题考查对本文深层含义的理解，既然是“suggests”(暗示)，肯定不是明示，所以不能从本文中直接找到答案。但是从第一段第三句开始的：“People tend to be…”一句话，其意为，人们往往过分信赖计算机，也不愿意挑战它的权威性。他们似乎并不知道也可能会按错键，或者计算机也可能有运行错误;和第二段第一句中说的：“…but people should also rely on their own internal computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.”其意为，人们也应该信赖自身的计算能力，一旦感觉有错，就要进行复查，这里暗示出当前的问题是人们对计算机有过分依赖的心理。因此，B)项是正确的答案。

　　65.[答案] D

　　[解析] 这是一道推断题，考查学生是否能从作者的议论中推断出作者赞成什么、反对什么。纵观全文，作者反对的是完全依赖计算机。因此，D)项是正确的答案。

　　Passage Six

　　66.[答案] C

　　[解析] 要回答该问题，首先要读懂全篇文章，特别是第一段的内容，再弄清四个选项的不同含义。A)项批评的，B)项怀疑的，C)项赞同的，D)项客观的。根据第一段的内容，可以看出作者对混合编班持赞同的态度。因此，C)项是正确的答案。

　　67.[答案] D

　　[解析] 根据上下文，这个词组的意思是“阻挡、阻止……发展”。因此，D)项是正确的答案。

　　68.[答案] B

　　[解析] 从第二段的内容可以看出，作者认为教师主要关心的应该是学生的“total personality”(总体素质)，其中包括“academic ability”、“intellectual ability，personal qualities”和“social skills”，即这些能力是总体素质的各个方面。因此，B)项是正确的答案。

　　69.[答案] D

　　[解析] 这道题要求学生看懂文章第三段的意思，并做出正确的判断。该段中的“to learn to cooperate，to share，and to develop leadership skills”(Line 2，Para.3)表明A)项和C)项都已提到，因而都不是答案，均应被排除。该段中的“learning how to think，to make decisions，to analyze and evaluate”(Lines 3-4，Para.3)，包含了B)项提及的“learn to develop their reasoning abilities”，可以排除B)项。因此，D)项是正确的答案。

　　70.[答案] A

　　[解析] 这道题要求学生了解这篇文章的主题。文章中讨论了两种上课的方式：streaming pupils，即把学生按能力分班进行教学，和mixed-ability teaching，即让程度不齐的学生混班上课，并列举了前者的弊端和后者的优点。B)项、C)项、D)项中提到的几种做法只是mixed-ability teaching的具体做法，不是作者写这篇文章的目的。因此，A)项是正确的答案。
