Part III. Reading Comprehension (30%)
Directions: In this section there are 2 passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
PASSAGE A
Living a long Life
In the Caucasus region of Russia, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their 100th birthday, and many don’t stop at 100! By comparison, in America
7
only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Russian old people aren’t alone. The Pakistani Hunzas in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long life too.
These peoples remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Georgians, aged 110 to 140, work in the field beside their great-great-grand children. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked, “At what age does youth end?” most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, “Well, perhaps at age 80.” The very youngest estimate was age 60.
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and to survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these loge-lived peoples. They begin their long days of physical labour as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. He remembers his life experiences: the Crimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevuk Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years old. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intention of retiring from his life as a farmer. “Why? What else would I do?” he asks. Oh,
h e’s slowed down a bit. Now he might quit for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of
10.
All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 5,000 to 12,000 feet above the sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressures and worries of industrial society.
41. What is the main idea of this article?
A. Mr. Mamedov’s life
B. A description of several societies where people live a long life.
C. Factors contributing to the health and long life of people
D. people in the world enjoying a longer life
42. The first paragraph -________.
A. introduces the subject of article
B. tells why Americans don’t live as long as other people
C. tells you some secrets about the Hunzas
D. shows only people in the Caucasas region enjoy a long life
8
43. “The idea of aging is foreign to them” implies that ________.
A. they don’t care much about their age
B. they would rather not tell their age
C. they won’t say anything about their age until they are asked to
D. the idea of whether they are getting old has never occurred to them
44. The description of Mr. Mamedov___________.
A. implies his intention of retiring from his life as a farmer
B. shows how he was survived the wars
C. is an example of a typical long life among these people
D. tells of the importance of doing hard physical work
45. What’s the author’s view of “isolation”?
A. It makes people healthy, wealthy and gay.
B. It is one of the factors that contributes to one’s long life.
C. It separates people from urban pressures and worries
D. It is only found in mountainous regions.
46. According to the author, which of the following is true?
A. Separation from the pressures and worries of industrial society is indispensable.
B. Good family genes from the major factor in living longer
C. Food and diet is the only factor that makes people strong and healthy
D. A long span of life is believed to be a multifactor matter
47. From this article we can conclude that -________ contribute(s) to the remarkable
long life of these people.
A. moderate diets
B. clean mountain air
C. daily hard work
D. all the above factors
48. How do you think the author feels about these long-lived people?
A. He is much impressed with them
B. He doesn’t care a bit about them
C. Most probably he doesn’t like them
D. He hopes that they will live a still longer life

PASSAGE B
Just the Job!
Rodney Mace, 35 is married with two young children, and is a part-time teacher of architectural history. “I am constantly surprised by other people’s surprise, when they come to the house and see me cleaning a floor or hanging out the washing. Their eyes open wide at the sight of it! Much of the comment comes from men, but I even more surprised at the number of women who comment too.”
His wife Jane, an Oxford graduate in modern languages, has a demanding full-time job. She is director of the Cambridge House literacy scheme for adults in South London. Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, and at these times her husband is in sole charge of home and family. Apart from this, they share household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons. This enables him to teach two days a week and to do what he considers his principle work: writing. He has written several books and spends much of his time in the British museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home in Brixton.
People ask the Maces if they think that their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to reserve time and energy to play with their children. “And they have now developed relationships with other adults and children”
Previously, Rodney mace worked full-time and Jane only part-time. Then 18 months ago, the director of the literacy scheme left. “It seemed to me that Jane was very well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I urged her to apply. She did, and she got it. ” Jane Mace confirms that she needed this encouragement, so as many women initially do.
Did his male ego suffer from the change-over? Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his thinking: “I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous relief. I was not avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us---I think for all of us, in every aspect of our lives. I cannot overemphasize that: in every aspect. I think it is fundamental that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if one partner does not work.”

A. they have a truly equal partnership
B. the husband enjoys staying at home

52. The Maces____________.
A. neglect their children
B. always manage to spend some time with their children
C. have helped to find friends for their children
D. miss their children very much
53. It is implied in the passage that _________.
A. the Maces believe a good career is even more important than their family life
B. Rodney’s children are quite happy with their position in the family
C. even capable woman sometimes need encouragement from their families
D. the practice of sharing household jobs between husband and wife is

Reading Comprehension (2’X20=40’) Directions: Read the following three passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.

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.

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.
