II. Reading Comprehension

Passage 1

Manners are very important in every country, but the trouble is that different countries have different ideas about what counts as polite behavior. What is good manners in one country may not be appropriate behavior in another. Chinese people may be shocked at what counts as good manners in England.

When an Englishman passes a friend in the street he does not always stop to talk. He may just nod, say" hello" and pass on. If two friends do stop to talk, they do not shake hands. It is only at parties for young people (students, for instance) that a person could go up to someone he does not know and introduce himself. On more formal occasions or at parties run by older people a guest always waits to be introduced to someone he does not know by the host, hostess or another guest who he already knows. At even a formal dinner an Englishman does not wait for a toast before he has a drink. The English reserve toasts for very formal or very special occasions. In these cases the toast will usually be accompanied by a short speech, for example, at a wedding reception or at a party for somebody who is retiring. After a private dinner in someone's house an Englishman will only shake hands with the host and hostess if it is a fairly formal occasion, like a business dinner, and he will usually put his coat on and say goodbye as he leaves the house.

Luckily, like Chinese people, the English usually excuse foreign students over matters of etiquette. But even so, perhaps the safest advice for the overseas student, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.

1. When an Englishman meets a friend in the street, he may _______B_____________.

A. stop to talk to his friend

B. just nod and say “hello”

C. shake hands with his friend

D. just say goodbye

2. What will a person do when he attend a party run by older people? D

A. Go up to a stranger and introduce himself.

B. Ask his friend to introduce him to others.

C. Give a speech in front of others to introduce himself.

D. Wait to be introduced by the host / hostess.

3. On which occasion will the English toast? A

A. A wedding reception.

B. A dinner party.

C. A speech.

D. A meeting.

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? C

A. Different countries have similar ideas about what good manners are.

B. Chinese people seem to be more polite than English people.

C. An Englishman will shake hands with the host after a private business dinner.

D. The English usually can’t understand foreign students impolite behaviors.

5. Which of the following best explains the proverb: when in Rome, do as the Romans do. B

A. If you go to Rome, you must do things like the Romans.

B. When you go to a foreign country, you should learn something about their manners.

C. Romans always do the right thing, so you should follow them.

D. Manners in Roman are as easy to follow as in other countries.

Passage 2

As supplier of most of the food we eat and of raw materials for many industrial processes, agriculture is clearly an important area of the economy. But the industrial performance of agriculture is even more important than this. For in nations where the productivity of farmers is low, most of the working population is needed to raise food and few people are available for production of investment goods or for other activities required for economic growth. Indeed, one of the factors related most closely to the per capital income (人均收入) of a nation is the fraction of its population engaged in farming. In the poorest nations of the world more than half of the population lives on farms. This compares sharply with less than 10 per cent in Western Europe and less than 4 per cent in the United States.

In short, the course of economic development in general depends in a fundamental way on the performance of farmers. This performance in turn, depends on how agriculture is organized and on the economic environment, or market structure, within which it function. In the following pages the performance of American agriculture is examined. It is appropriate to begin with a conversation of its market structure.

1. This passage is most probably ___B_____.

A. a news item

B. part of an introduction of a book

C. part of a lecture

D. an advertisement

2. What is most important to agriculture is ____C____.

A. the amount of food it produces

B. the per capital income of farmers

C. its industrial performance

D. the production of investment goods

3. The word “this” in Line 3 refers to ____A____.

A. the provision of food and raw materials

B. the productivity of farmers

C. the production of investment goods

D. the economy as a whole

4. The performance of farmers essentially determines ____D____.

A. the size of the working population

B. the organization of agriculture

C. the market structure

D. the general development of economy

5. This passage will most probably be followed by a discussion of ___B_____.

A. the structure of American farming population

B. the market structure of American agriculture

C. the various functions of American agriculture

D. the organization of American agriculture

Passage 3

Twenty years ago, kids in school had never even heard of the internet. Now, I’ll b et you can’t find a single person in your school who hasn’t at least heard of it. In fact, many of us use it on a regular basis and even have access to it from our homes! The “net” in internet really stands for network. A network is two or more computers connected together so that information can be shared, or sent from one computer to another. The internet is a vast resource for all types of information. You may enjoy using it to do research for a school project, downloading your favorite songs or communicating with friends and family. Information is accessed through web pages that companies, organizations and individuals create and post. It’s kind of like a giant bulletin board that the whole world uses! But since anyone can put anything on the internet, you also have to be careful and use your best judgment and a little common sense.

Just because you read something on a piece of paper someone sticks on a bulletin board doesn’t mean it’s good information, or even correct, for that matter. So you have to be sure that whoever posted the information knows what they’re talking about, especially if you’re doing research! But what if you’re just emailing people? You still have to be very careful. If you’ve never met the person that you’re communicating with online, you could be on dangerous ground! You should never give out any personal information to someone you don’t know, not even your name! And just like you can’t believe the information on every website out there, you can’t rely on what strangers you “meet” on the internet tell you either. Just as you could make up things about yourself to tell someone, someone else could do the same to you!

1. Several computers can be connected together by the Internet so that_____B_______.

A. people can see each other

B. information can be shared and sent freely

C. you can read newspaper

D. you can create anything you like

2. You should be careful when you are surfing online because______D______.

A. some of the information may not be true or right

B. some people may give you the wrong information

C. some information may do harm to you

D. all the above

3. When you are emailing people, you______C______.

A. need not worry because it is completely safe

B. should never let others know your name

C. should never give out any personal information to a stranger

D. can trust them and tell them anything

4. What does the author think of the Internet? A

A. Everything has two sides; so is the Internet.

B. The Internet is dangerous and harmful.

C. The Internet is wonderful because it helps people do a lot of things.

D. The Internet is boring and dull.

5. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage? C

A. Internet and I.

B. The Development of Internet.

C. Internet Safety.

D. The Information Age.

Passage 4

You are a German living in Berlin. One day you’re walking down the street, minding your own business, when suddenly a stranger approached with a smile on his face. After stopping you, he holds a small electronic device close to his face and speaks slowl y into it, saying, in English: “Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut?” What should you do? A. Run away; B. Call the police; or, C. Listen closely for the device to say, in German, “Konnen Sie mir bitte sager, which Sauerkraut Kaufen Kann?”

The most appropriate response would be C. because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The device is said to be the world’s first portable transistor—a hand-held microcomputer that—at the same time converts one spoken language into another.

The four-pound battery-operated product is called the Voice, and it is the creation of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the United States in late April—at a price of $1,500—it will be capable of converting spoken English into Italian, German, French and Spanish. The product comes with separate cartridges (盒式储存器) for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. The item will be sold in Europe soon after the U.S. Introduction, with cartridges that covert Italian, German, French and Spanish into English.

The Voice uses a microchip (微型集成块) and artificial intelligence to translate Languages. It is started by voice command and produces voice output through a built-in speaker. Then the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another Language.

1. The stranger holding the Voice seems to be ___C_____.

A. asking for some information

B. greeting the German

C. amusing himself

D. practising his German

2. The German sentence “Konnen Sie Kann?” means ____D____.

A. “Why don’t you ask the policeman.”

B. “Would you listen closely for the device to say?”

C. “Can you say it again, please?”

D. “Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut?”

3. The word “speaker” in the last paragraph refers to ____B____.

A. the person who speaks to the device

B. a component part of the Voice

C. the person who speaks German

D. the speech produced by the Voice

4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE? C

A. The voice is an invention of an electronics company.

B. The voice is a hand-held translator.

C. The voice is new product in wide use.

D. The voice is mainly a microcomputer.

5. The Voice can translate ____D____.

A. from German into any of the other four languages mentioned

B. from and into English by using the same cartridges

C. between any two of the above-mentioned languages

D. from English into any of the other four languages or the other way round Passage5

While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, two writers (Letters to the Editor) praised the cancellation of exams because they believe “tests don’t tell the whole story.”

As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and that a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are exceptions, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.

The simple fact is that proper class work, diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators of a student’s future performance. The opposite, almost certainly, incompetence.

There is no acceptable substitute for competition and examination of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student word for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant. And surely the “graduates” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness, not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.

When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison with others is at the bottom of most ban-exams (废除考试) talk. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.

1.Which of the following will the author of this passage probably agree with? B

A) Tests are not effective in measuring the students’ abilities.

B) Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities.

C) Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities.

D) Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities.

2. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph ___A_____.

A) opposed judging students by the results of exams

B) must have proposed other ways of testing students

C) regarded exams as a way of punishing students

D) seem to be worried about the poor marks of their students

3.According to the letter, a student’s final mark ____B____.

A) is often encouraging

B) often gives a fair picture of the year’s work

C) often proves unreliable

D) often tells whether he likes the subject of not

4. If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams he would ___D_____.

A) have to continue his studies

B) have a feeling of failure

C) be incompetent

D) not be admitted by foreign institutions

5. According to the letter, those who dislike the idea of examinations are probably afraid of ___A_____.

A) competing with other students

B) being graded unfairly

C) working too hard

D) being dismissed from school

However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an i nterview.
