Part III: Reading 30%

Directions: Read the following passages and choose the correct answer according to the passage.

Passage 1

I study political violence for a living., yet I, too, am shaken and unsure how to react. As I sit here today in my office, only a few miles from the still-burning Pentagon, images of the slaughter in my native New York dominate my thoughts. It makes it hard to concentrate on

work, and it makes the everyday things seem so trivial. Only now, twenty-four hours after the tragedy began to unfold, have I begun to realize how this has affected me on so many levels.

As an American, I feel threatened and confused, where only yesterday I felt proud and invincible (不可战胜的). As a citizen of the global community, I have been shocked into the reality of the reach of global terrorism. As a human being, I am appalled at the cruelty and inhumanity of these acts of terrorism. As someone who hopes to understand unspeakable acts, I am at a loss to understand this one, perhaps because it hits so close to home.

I know only these things: Someone, for some reason, has decided to strike at the United States. Despite the many people killed, the intended target of this attack was American power. The goal was to strike a paralyzing fear into the hearts and minds of all citizens of the U.S., and perhaps its allies as well. Thus, we—all of us—are the real targets of this attack. This explains why many of us, even those of us who were not near the attacks, or who knew no one affected by them, felt this tragedy so deeply.

Yet we must not succumb to fear, for if we do the terrorists have won. Surely our lives will be different now. We may be more aware, more inconvenienced, more insecure. But we must learn to deal with this tragedy and to move on, to live our lives as fully and as entirely as before. I came to my office today, even though classes here have been cancelled, to live my life as normally as possible, for to do so in the face of yesterday’s terrorist attacks is itself an act of defiance.

1.How did the author feel following the terrorist attack?

a)He felt proud and invincible because Americans did not succumb to fear.

b)He felt relieved because no one dear to him was injured.

c)He felt sorry for those killed or injured in the tragedy.

d)He felt threatened and confused because he couldn’t understand it.

2.The “unspeakable acts” (Line 4, Para 2) the author hopes to understand are .

a)acts of political violence

b)acts of attacks for unknown reasons

c)acts of war

d)acts of murder

3.We can infer from the passage that the author

a)did not expect global terrorism could hit America

b)had a deep understanding of terrorism even before the attack

c)knew that Americans would not succumb to terrorism

d)believed that life would go on as before despite the attack

4.According to the author, the aim of the terrorist attack is .

a)to kill as many Americans as possible

b)to make Americans aware of the terrorists’ strength

c)to sow panic among the Americans

d)to destroy the vital institutions of the American Government

5.The author’s purpose in going to his office on the day following the terrorist attack is .

a)to give classes

b)to discuss the terrorist attack with his colleagues

c)to show defiance by living his life as normally as possible

d)to get the latest news of the terrorist attack

Passage 2

The interview is an important event in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may determine whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that your objective during the interview may differ from the objective of the potential employer. You want to make yourself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths, is well qualified, and should be considered the right person for the job. It is en couraging to know that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you or to trip you up, but to hire the right person for the job.

Remember, job hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do to enhance your interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job.

Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer won’t know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and sincere manner.

Do not make slighting references to former employers or professors. If you have been fired from a job and the interviewer asks about it, be frank in your answer.

Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking relevant questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunities and fringe benefits ( 附加福利) of the job you are interviewing for.

If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you may have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react to adverse conditions.

Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If the interviewer continues to press, give him a range or suggest the going rate for a particular job. If possible, you should negotiate for salary after you have been offered a job and when you are ready to complete the paperwork.

6.To get the job you want, during the interview you should .

a)avoid the interviewer’s questions that are designed to trip you up

b)remember that you are the best qualified candidate

c)make yourself stand out as the right person for the job

d)keep in mind that it determines whether or not you get the particular job you want

7.If you did not get along with your former employer, you .

a)should tell the interviewer frankly

b)should not speak ill of him

c)should refer to him in a factual manner

d)should never mention it

8.When you find the interview is not going well you should .

a)keep up your confidence

b)bring it to an end as soon as possible

c)tell you interviewer how you react to adverse conditions

d)tell yourself you have much to gain and nothing to lose

9.The best time to discuss your salary is .

a)when you have been offered the job

b)at the end of the interview

c)after you have completed the paperwork

d)when the interviewer brings this matter up

10.The most important thing to do during an interview is .

a)to make your strengths understood

b)to show your intense interest in the job you are applying for

c)to be frank and sincere

d)to be natural and confident

Passage 3

In the course of my reading I had come across a case where, many years ago, some hunters on our Great Plains organized a buffalo hunt for the entertainment of an English earl ( 伯爵) and to provide some fresh meat for his use. They had charming sport. They killed seventy-two of those great animals; and ate part of one of them and left the seventy-one to rot. In order to determine the difference between an anaconda and an earl, I had several lambs turned into the anaconda’s cage. The grateful snake immed iately crushed one of them and swallowed it, then lay back satisfied. It showed no further interest in the lambs, and no inclination to harm them. I tried this experiment with other anacondas; always with the same result. The fact stood proven that the difference between an earl and an anaconda is that the earl is cruel and the anaconda isn’t; and the earl wantonly (肆无忌惮地) destroyed what he has no use for, but the anaconda doesn’t. This seemed to suggest that the anaconda was not descended from the earl. It also seemed to suggest that the earl was descended from the anaconda, and had lost a good deal in the transition.

I was aware that many men who have accumulated more money than they can ever use have shown a hunger for more, and have not hesitated to cheat the ignorant and the helpless out of their poor servings in order to partially satisfy that appetite. I furnished a hundred different kinds of wild and domestic animals the opportunity to accumulate vast stores of food but none of them would do it. The squirrels and bees and certain birds made accumulations, but stopped

when they gathered a winter’s supply, and could not be p ersuaded to add to it either honestly or by trickery. These experiments convinced me that there is this difference between man and the higher animals: he is greedy, they are not.

In the course of my experiments I convinced myself that among the animals man is the only one that harbors insults and injuries, broods over (默默沉思) them, waits till a chance offers, then takes revenge. The passion of revenge is unknown to the higher animals.

11.By describing the buffalo hunting and his experiment with the anaconda, the author mainly

wants to tell his readers that

a)the anaconda is easily satisfied

b)the earl is capable of committing wanton cruelty

c)the earl’s ancestor turned out to be the anaconda

d)the anaconda does not harm other animals except when it is hungry

12.According to the author, in human society, the rich .

a)tend to accumulate vast stores of food

b)are inclined to gather more riches

c)are ready to help the poor

d)are mostly cheaters

13.The author’s experiments with different kinds of animals seem to prove that .

a)man is the highest animal

b)man is superior to animals

c)man is the lowest animal

d)man is inferior to animals in certain respects

14.We learn from the last paragraph that .

a)love of revenge is a unique characteristic of man

b)man is the only animal capable of thinking

c)human beings are capable of insulting and injuring each other

d)man is better at taking chances than animals

15.In this passage, the author writes in a(n) .

a)serious tone

b)angry tone

c)ironic tone

d)matter-of-fact tone

Calculate for a moment what could be done with even a part of those hours. Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or engineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it. The trouble with television is that it discourages concentration. Almost anything interesting and rewarding in life requires some constructive, consistently applied effort. The dullest, the least gifted of us can achieve things that seem miraculous to those who never concentrate on anything. But Television encourages us to apply no effort. It sells us instant gratification(满意). It diverts us only to divert, to make the time pass without pain. Television's variety becomes a narcotic(麻醉的), nor a stimulus. Its serial, kaleidoscopic (万花筒般的)exposures force us to follow its lead. The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 minutes at the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps(篡夺;侵占) one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. Capturing your attention—and holding it—is the prime motive of most television programming and enhances its role as a profitable advertising vehicle. Programmers live in constant fear of losing anyone's attention—anyone's. The surest way to avoid doing so is to keep everything brief, not to strain the attention of anyone but instead to provide constant stimulation through variety, novelty, action and movement. Quite
