Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)
(Each item: 2)
Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the same passage or dialog.
In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.
Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people—often rather frightening-looking people—and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the

pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.




41. According to the passage one of the problems for pupils entering secondary schools is that ________.
A. they are taught by many different teachers
B. they do not attend lessons in every subject
C. the teachers are not so friendly and helpful
D. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils

42. In secondary schools every pupil having problems should ________.
A. know how to ask for help
B. go to ask any teacher he can find
C. discuss his problem in class
D. turn to his parents for help

43. It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainly concerned about ________.
A. academic standards
B. the role of specialist teachers
C. the training of the individual teachers
D. the personal development of pupils

44. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. All the secondary schools know the way to encourage students' requests for help.
B. The secondary schools are responsible for offering personal and group advice to new pupils.
C. Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom in communicating with teachers and fellow pupils.
D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.

45. The most appropriate title for the passage is ________.
A. Primary School and Secondary School
B. Problems for New Secondary School Teachers
C. Problems for New Secondary School Pupils
D. Academic Work and Personal Relationship
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the same passage or dialog.
The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.
The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.

But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. "The thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness," Ms. Elshtain says.

Some of this can be attributed to the decay of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.

In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the US. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.

The desire for a higher moral standard is no

t a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent "golden age," Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的 ) longing for a time that denied opportunities to women and minorities. Most people, in fact, favor a decrease in prejudice.

Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. "Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can't be bought."




46. Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans ________.
A. have adapted to a new set of moral standards
B. are longing for the return of the good old days
C. have realized the importance of material things
D. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards

47. The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by ________.
A. its growing wealth
B. the self-centeredness of individuals
C. underestimating the impact of social changes
D. the prejudice against women and minorities

48. Which of the following characterizes the traditional communities?
A. Great mobility.
B. Emphasis on individual effort.
C. Concern for one's neighbors.
D. Ever-weakening social bonds.

49. In the 1950s, classroom violence ________.
A. was something unheard of
B. attracted a lot of public attention
C. was by no means a rare occurrence
D. began to appear in analysts' data

50. According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may be reversed ________.
A. if people can return to the "golden age"
B. when women and men enjoy equal rights
C. when people rid themselves of prejudice
D. if less emphasis is laid on material things
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any resemblance (相似) between their lives and what they see on TV-if they are even able to watch TV.
The first difference is that in real life a policeman has been trained in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.

He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty-or not-of stupid, petty (不重要的) crimes.

Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks-where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching.

A third big difference is between the drama detective and the real life ones. Detectives are subject to two opposing pressures: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave with absolute legality (合法); secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small way

s.

If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedness-as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of stamping out crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their time is spent re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical.




51. It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law ________.
A. so that he can catch criminals in the streets
B. because many of the criminals he has to catch are dangerous
C. so that he can justify his arrests in court
D. because he has to know nearly as much about law as a professional lawyer

52. The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ________.
A. exciting and mysterious
B. full of danger
C. devoted mostly to routine matters
D. wasted on unimportant matters

53. When murders and terrorist attacks occur the police ________.
A. prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away
B. work hard to track down the criminals
C. try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up their reputation
D. usually fail to produce results

54. The real detective lives in an unusual moral climate because ________.
A. he is an expensive public servant
B. he must always behave with absolute legality
C. he is obliged to break the law in order to preserve it
D. he feels himself to be cut off from the rest of the world

55. Detectives are rather cynical because ________.
A. nine-tenths of their work involves arresting people
B. hardly anyone tells them the truth
C. society does not punish criminals severely enough
D. D too many criminals escape from jail
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than of the absence of noise. Even his conversation is in great measure a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful (可怕的) silence. He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) of a fly, but he longs to join the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure. The object of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas. It is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz: there is even a buzz that is as exasperating (使人恼怒的) as the continuous ping (砰声) of a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute (哑巴). Most buzzing, fortunately, is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable even

to the mind. He would be a foolish man, however, who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who despise (看不起) the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they have had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing at immense length, they are proud of themselves on their success as conversationalists.




56. The significance of man's speaking ability is that ________.
A. it proves his existence as a man
B. it raises his position as a man
C. it makes him enjoy meaningful conversations
D. it gets him out of trouble

57. The statement that "ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly" suggests that ________.
A. most of the human conversations are inspiring and instructive
B. most of the human conversations are as irritating as the noise made by a fly
C. most of the human conversations can be dismissed as meaningless
D. most of the human conversations can be regarded as the effective activities

58. According to the passage, a man will look silly if he ________.
A. makes mistakes in the conversation
B. feels reluctant to join in the conversation
C. fails to communicate anything new to others in the conversation
D. misunderstands others' meanings in the conversation

59. In the author's opinion, the introduction of weather as a conversational opening indicates ________.
A. the ignorance of the conversationalist
B. the start of an acceptable conversation
C. the coming of something new
D. the boring nature of the conversation

60. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?
A. At a dinner party, everyone prefers to talk like a mosquito.
B. People despise meaningless conversations.
C. People take pride in their roles as conversationalists.
D. One can always learn something useful from conversation.
