Part II Reading Comprehension (50minutes, 30 marks)
Section A
Directions: There are three 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 center.
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
“Women ha ve an advantage when it comes to remembering things like the physical features, clothing, and postures of other people,” Horgan says. “This advantage might be due to women being slightly more people-oriented than men are.”
The study also found that men and women did better at remembering the appearance of women than they did recollecting how men looked. Women in general may be more memorable than men because their hair and clothing styles and use of jewelry tend to be more varied than that of men. For example, in many offices, men may look similar in their suits and ties, yet women may wear necklaces and earrings, or have other jewelry or clothing that makes their appearances stand out more.
However, the results suggest women are not more memorable because people spend more time looking at them. Participants in the study did not look at women any longer than they looked at men.
“We really don’t know for sure why women have an advantage at remembering how others look,” Horgan confesses. “But these results go a long with studies that show women are better than men in other areas having to do with interpersonal sensitivity.”
For example, various studies have shown women have an advantage at using nonverbal (非语言的) cues to understand how others are feeling, and how they are likely to behave. Women also appear to be better at using nonve rbal cues to figure out someone’s personality traits.
31. According to the passage, women are good at remembering features of _________.
A) office clerks
B) men only
C) women only
D) people in general
32. Women are generally better remembered than men because _________.
A) women are more likely to wear suits and ties
B) women’s appearances stand out more
C) women make themselves more fashionable
D) women are more frequently noticed by others
33. According to the passage, which of the following factors most probably makes women more
memorable?
A) Their different social identity.
B) Their small proportion in the workplace.
C) Their shining jewelry.
D) Their generous smile.
34. When it comes to interpersonal things, women are more _________.
A) sensitive B) open C) conservative D) easy-going
35. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A) Women seem to have better interpersonal relationship than men.
B) Women are generally more undestanding than men in family life.
C) Women know what a man will do next without even looking at him.
D) Women sometimes learn about other people’s personality without talking to them.
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly to blame for the fact that the unemployed are taking 23% longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条), when the “benefits” of online job searching were unavailable. “A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing (浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, blanketing them with resumes, and then waiting for callbacks. It is a formula for long-drawn-out joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. While the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers, Challenger indicates that it has become the primary tool for many, when it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting prospective employers in person.
In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is prolonging the hiring process for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online resume site, 72% said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position’s description.
“The more irrelevant resumes managers have to go through in order to select the handful to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes t o fill the position,” points out Challenger. “One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their resume in front of the hiring executive for an interview.”
“A ll of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to target the type of position a person is seeking.”
“Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as the tool it can be, rather than just relying on it as a conduit (渠道) for electronic resumes,” concludes Challenger.
36. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings __________.
A) more unemployment throughout the U.S.A.
B) more job opportunites in the Internet world
C) longer waiting time for the unemployed
D) longer computer technology training for the job seekers
37. Professor Challenger thinks _________ should be considered first by the unemployed.
A) going to a traditional training center
B) sending resumes by email
C) browsing the Internet job sites
D) meeting the potential employers in person
38. The Internet is prolonging the hiring process for the employer because __________.
A) the hiring postion cannot be fully described on the Net
B) there is a lot of false information on the Net
C) the speed of the Internet is not fast enough
D) it has drawn many unfitting resumes
39. It can be inferred that “screening software” (Para. 3) is used to ____________.
A) draw more job seekers to the websites
B) get rid of some irrelevant resumes
C) serve as a bridge between the job seekers and the employers
D) forbid the job seekers to visit the employers in person
40. According to the passage, the Internet has revolutionized job hunting by ____________.
A) changing the recession cycle
B) opening more chances for job seekers
C) improving the reemployment situation
D) reducing the interview time
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:
Adolescents who demonstrate impulsive (冲动的) and risk-taking behavior and an increased need for stimulation (刺激), a personality trait known as “novelty-seeking,” are more receptive to tobacco advertising and are at high risk for smoking initiation, according to a study by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, and Georgetown University, Washington, D. C.
“To better understand the influence of tobacco advertising on youth, this study sought to identify subgroups of adolescents who have been most receptive to tobacco advertising and promotional activities,” explains Jan et Audrain, member of the Abramson Cancer Center, and assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the School of Medicine. “While previous research has shown that receptivity to tobacco advertising is associated with higher levels of smoking among adolescents, few studies have examined how variability in personality traits may make certain teens more receptive to tobacco advertising.”
Audrain’s research team interviewed 1,071 ninth-graders at five public high schools. The students completed a questionnaire that assessed smoking habits, exposure to other smokers, receptivity to tobacco advertising, and the novelty-seeking personality trait. The level of receptivity to tobacco advertising was determined by measuring whether subjects could name an often-advertised cigarette brand, had a favorite tobacco ad, and if they possessed or were willing to use a tobacco industry promotional item. Novelty-seeking was measured by responses to questions regarding impulsive and risk-taking behaviors.
Forty-four percent of the adolescents had moderate to high levels of receptivity. Members of this group were more likely to have tried smoking and to be higher in the novelty-seeking trait. Novelty-seeking adolescents, both smokers and nonsmokers, were twice as likely to be influenced by tobacco advertising. “The heightened receptivity to tobacco advertising among youth high in novelty-seeking may be attributable to their greater need for stimulation and rewarding experiences,” theorizes Audrain. “Tobacco industry promot ional campaigns, which often highlight stimulating activities and adventurous behavior, appear to be designed to appeal to this feature of
novelty-seeking youth.”
41. The word “novelty” (Para. 1) most probably means____________.
A) something new
B) something dangerous
C) something common
D) something expensive
42. The purpose of the research conducted by the University of Pennsylvania and Georgetown
University is to find out ___________.
A) the personality traits of young smokers
B) the impact of tobacco advertising on young people
C) the necessity of limiting tobacco sales
D) the harm of smoking on students
43. Which of the following was used to test subjects’ level of receptivity to tobacco advertising?
A) Asking the subjects whether they were impulsive.
B) Asking the subjects whether they smoked frequently.
C) Asking the subjects whether they had a favourite tobacco ad.
D) Asking the subjects whether they watched tobacco ads on TV.
44. What leads to the greater receptivity of tobacco advertising among a particular group of
people?
A) Their special life experience.
B) Their love towards TV programmes.
C) Their school atomosphere.
D) Their need for exciting experiences.
45. Which of the following elements is most likely to be emphasized in tobacco ads?
A) Risk.
B) Generosity.
C) Wisdom.
D) Honesty.
Section B
Directions:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements.
Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements
with no more than ten words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).
Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University’s School of Biological Sciences, have recently begun a three-year program, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, to identify genes that ensure plant growth in salty conditions.
It is estimated that each year more than 10 million hectares of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the soil and inhibits (抑制) plant growth. The problem is caused by several factors. In the tropics, mangroves (红树林) that traditionally form barriers to sea water have been cut down. In the Mediterranean (地中海沿岸地区), a series of droughts have caused the water table to drop, allowing sea water to seep (渗) in. Excess salt then enters the plants and prevents them functioning normally.
To overcome these problems, Flowers and Yeo decided to breed rice plants that take in very little salt and store what they do absorb in cells that do not affect the plant’s growth. They have started to breed these characteristics into a new rice crop, but it will take about eight harvests until the resulting seeds are ready to be considered for commercial use.
Once the characteristics for surviving salty soil are known, Flowers and Yeo will try to breed the appropriate genes into all manner of crops and plants. Land that has been abandoned to nature will then be able to bloom again, providing much needed food in the poorer countries of the world.
1. What is the aim of the research conducted by Flowers and Yeo?
2. What is the problem the research is trying to address?
3. In Mediterranean, water levels have gone down as a result of ____________.
4. How long must Flowers and Yeo wait before they know whether they have succeeded?
5. Flowers and Yeo’s work may enable _____________ to become productive once more.

This is at least partly due to what is known as language interference, meaning that the linguistic patterns of our first language interfere with those of the second because no two languages have exactly the same sounds and grammatical structures. The English language has a very large vocabulary because it has incorporated words from many other languages over the centuries. This is nowhere more apparent than in its color words. For example, there are many words that express the color “purple”, describing its different shades and hues: mauve, violet, lilac, or lavender. An interesting 2
Unit 1 Personality羞怯的痛苦 对许多人来说，羞怯是很多不愉快的起因。各种各样的人——矮的、高的、愚笨的、聪明的、年轻的、年老的、瘦的、胖的——都说自己是羞怯的。羞怯的人会焦虑不安，感到不自然；也就是说，他们过分地关注自己的外表和举止。脑海中不断盘旋着一些使自己不安的想法：我给人留下的是什么印象？他们喜欢我吗？我讲话是不是傻里傻气？我长得难看。我穿的衣服毫不引人注目。很显然这种不安的感觉会对人产生不利的影响。一个人的自我看法反映在自己的行为方式之中，而一个人的行为方式又影响他人的反应。通常，人们如何看待自己对他们生活的各个方面都会产生深刻的影响。例如，具有积极的自我价值观或很强自尊心的人往往表现出自信。而由于自信，他们不需要他人不断地称赞和鼓励，也能使自己感觉良好。自信者热情、自发地投入生活。他们不因别人认为他们“该”做什么而受到影响。有很强自尊心的人不会被批评所伤害；他们不会把批评看作是人身攻击。相反，他们认为批评是一种提醒他们改进的建议。相比之下，羞怯的人自尊心较弱，往往消极被动并且容易受他人影响。他们（是否）在做“该做的事情”需要得到别人的肯定。害羞的人对批评非常敏感；他们觉得批评正好证实了他们比别人差。他们也很难因别人的赞美而高兴，因为他们相信自己不值得称赞。羞怯的人也许会用这样的话来回答别人的赞美之辞：“你这么说只是为了让我感觉好一些。我知道这不是真的。”显然，尽管自我意识是一种健康的品质，过分的自我意识却是不利和有害的。能否彻底消除或者至少减轻羞怯感呢？幸运的是，人们能够通过坚持不懈的努力建立自信从而克服羞怯。由于胆怯和缺少自尊是密切相关的，因此正视自己的弱点和正视自己的优点一样重要。例如，大多数人希望每门功课都得A。如果仅仅因为在某些领域有困难，就把自己列为差生，这不恰如其分。人们对自己的期望必须现实。老是想那些不可能的事情会令自己觉得无能，甚至产生嫉妒。当我们嫉妒比自己成绩好的学生时，我们正在自我否定。如果你害羞，这里有些具体有效的步骤帮助你树立信心并克服羞怯感：１．认清自己的优缺点。每个人既有优点又有缺点。随着对自我的不断认同，羞怯感就会自然减弱。２．确定合理的目标。例如，在聚会时和一群陌生人在一起，你也许会怯场。不要以为你必须和每个人交谈。集中精力，仅和一两个人交谈，你会感到更自在些。３．内疚和羞耻感是消极的情感。不要把时间和精力浪费在这上头。假设你伤害了某人的感情，（光）感到羞愧是无济于事的。相反，应该承认你犯了个错误，并决心在将来更加善解人意。４．所有问题都有许多种解决办法。很少有完全正确或完全错误的意见。要敢于公开表达自己的观点。５．不要对自己做消极的评论。这是一种自我否定。千万别把自己描述为愚蠢的、丑陋的，或者一个失败者。注重自己积极的方面。６．接受批评时要缜密思考。不要把批评理解为人身攻击。例如，如果一位朋友抱怨你的烹饪技术，要把这当成对你的烹饪技术而不是对你本人的评价而接受下来。放心，你们还是好朋友，但你的烹饪技术也许确实有待改进。７．记住，每个人都会经历一些失败和挫折。要把它们作为增长见识的经历，从中受益。挫折往往会成为转机，随之而来的将是一段美妙绝伦的经历。例如，你可能被你所中意的大学拒之门外。然而，

Reading Comprehension (2’X20=40’) Directions: Read the following three passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Passage One Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong things. The key to preventing or treating behavior problem is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack by using extreme measures. You can teach your dog its subordinate role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you pleasantly if they accept that you are in charge. Tainting should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and more safely allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. 1. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______. A) worsen in modern society B) be just part of their nature C) occur when they go wild D) present at threat to the community 2. The primary purpose of obedience training is to ________. A) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior B) teach the dog to perform clever tricks C) make the dog aware of its owner’s authority D) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior 3. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______. A) an extreme measure in obedience training B) a good way to teach the dog new tricks C) the foundation for dogs to perform tasks D) essential to solve the dog’s behavior problems 4. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters? A) To show their willingness to obey. B) To show their affection for their masters. C) To avoid being punished. D) To win leadership of the dog pack. 5. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner________. A) will enjoy a better family life. B) can give the dog more freedom C) can give the dog more rewards D) will have more confidence in himself Passage Two: Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and
Unit 4 Fresh Start In-Class Reading Fresh Start 新的开端 1当我父母开车离去，留下我可怜巴巴地站在停车场上时，我开始寻思我在校园里该做什么。我决定我最想做的就是平安无事地回到宿舍。我感到似乎校园里的每个人都在看着我。我打定主意：竖起耳朵，闭上嘴巴，但愿别人不知道我是新生。 2第二天早上我找到了上第一堂课的教室，大步走了进去。然而，进了教室，我又碰到了一个难题。坐哪儿呢？犹豫再三，我挑了第一排边上的一个座位。3“欢迎你们来听生物101 课，”教授开始上课。天哪，我还以为这里是文学课呢！我的脖子后面直冒冷汗，摸出课程表核对了一下教室——我走对了教室，却走错了教学楼。 4怎么办？上课途中就站起来走出去？教授会不会生气？大家肯定会盯着我看。算了吧。我还是稳坐在座位上，尽量使自己看起来和生物专业的学生一样认真。 5下了课我觉得有点饿，便赶忙去自助食堂。我往托盘里放了些三明治就朝座位走去，就在这时，我无意中踩到了一大滩番茄酱。手中的托盘倾斜了，我失去了平衡。就在我屁股着地的刹那间，我看见自己整个人生在眼前一闪而过，然后终止在大学上课的第一天。 6摔倒后的几秒钟里，我想要是没有人看见我刚才的窘相该有多好啊。但是，食堂里所有的学生都站了起来，鼓掌欢呼，我知道他们不仅看见了刚才的情景，而且下决心要我永远都不会忘掉这一幕。 7接下来的三天里，我独自品尝羞辱，用以果腹的也只是些从宿舍外的售货机上买来的垃圾食品。到了第四天，我感到自己极需补充一些真正意义上的食物。也许三天时间已经足以让校园里的人把我忘在脑后了。于是我去了食堂。 8我好不容易排队取了食物，踮脚走到一张桌子前坐下。突然我听到一阵熟悉的“哗啦”跌倒声。抬头看见一个可怜的家伙遭遇了和我一样的命运。当人们开始像对待我那样鼓掌欢呼的时候，我对他满怀同情。他站起身，咧嘴大笑，双手紧握高举在头顶上，做出胜利的姿势。我料想他会像我一样溜出食堂，可他却转身重新盛一盘食物。就在那一刻，我意识到我把自己看得太重了。
