Section III Reading Comprehension(45 points) 阅读理解

Text 1

No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demeaning to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of the whole. The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth. There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a large, more important concept. What could be more important than the individual oneself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence.

Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in school, eliminates all envy and competition in a matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? It is only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, eat the same type of food. When this happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy. Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly.

Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating, and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary. Salespersons would be superfluous as well: why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business. Our entire information and entertainment industries would founder.

41、The author’s viewpoint on uniforms can best be described as __________.

A. practical

B. hysterical

C. radical

D. critical

42、Judged from its style, this passage might be found in __________.

A. a children’s comics book

B. an editorial in a paper

C. a sociology textbook

D. a political platform

43、It can be inferred that the author believes that __________.

A. individuals have no self-worth when they become part of an organization

B. individuals are more important than organizations

C. individuals are not so important as organizations

D. individuals are the same important as organizations

44、The author brings in the example of a parent striving to make life better for his children to make the point that __________.

A. parents have responsibilities for their children

B. uniforms would be less expensive than clothing for children

C. uniforms cause dissension between parents and children

D. individual motivation would be destroyed by uniforms

(本题分值：1.5分)【正确答案】D

45、The last word of the passage "founder" probably means __________.

A. collapse

B. shrink

C. disappear

D. establish

A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small-minded officials, rude waiters, and ill-mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US. Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment. For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence.

Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality.

Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn’t take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. "I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner—amazing." Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly.

The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily mean that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to "translate" cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word "friend", the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor’s language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many Americans value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.

46、In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, ___________.

A. rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US

B. small-minded officials deserve a serious comment

C. Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors

D. most Americans are ready to offer help

47、It could be inferred from the last paragraph that ___________.

A. culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship

B. courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated

C. various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends

D. social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions

48、Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers ___________.

A. to improve their hard life

B. in view of their long-distance travel

C. to add some flavor to their own daily life

D. out of a charitable impulse

49、The tradition of hospitality to strangers ___________.

A. tends to be superficial and artificial

B. is generally well kept up in the united States

C. is always understood properly

D. has something to do with the busy tourist trails

50、What’s the author’s attitudes toward the American’s friendliness?

A. Favorable.

B. Unfavorable.

C. Indifferent.

D. Neutral.

Today, there are many avenues open to those who wish to continue their education. However, nearly all require some break in one’s career in order to attend school full time. Part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one’s career and family time. Of the many approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning.

Distance learning is an educational method, which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals, which are so necessary in today’s world. The time required to study many be set aside at the student’s convenience with due regard to all life’s other requirements. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet. Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. This precludes the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test.

Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the equivalence of the distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor/student relationship is another characteristic of a good distance-learning program. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual students but also the corporation or business that wants to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining career-minded people while contributing to their personal and professional growth through education.

51、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of part-time education?

A. It requires some break in one’s career.

B. It tends to last too long for many people to complete a degree program.

C. It affects one’s career.

D. It gives the student less time to share with the family.

52、Which of the following is NOT an advantage of distance learning?

A. The students may choose his or her own pace.

B. The students may study at any time to his or her convenience.

C. They can pursue their chosen career while studying.

D. Their tutorial assistance comes through regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, etc.

53、What benefit will distance-learning program bring to a business?

A. Recruitment of more talented people.

B. Good image of the business.

C. Better cooperation with universities.

D. Further training of employees and business growth.

54、What benefit will distance learning bring to an employee of a business?

A. Professional growth.

B. Good relationship with the employer.

C. Good impression on the employer.

D. Higher salary.

55、Which is not the characteristic of distance learning?

A. It includes a subject evaluation tool with every subject.

B. Its course uses the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus.

C. A distance-learning program has a place only for students.

D. The relationship of the professor/student is characterized by individuality.

Text 4

I remember the way the light touched her hair. She turned her head, and our eyes met, a momentary awareness in that raucous fifth grade classroom. I felt as though I’d been struck a blow under the heart. Thus began my first love affair. Her name was Rachel, and I mooned my way through the grade and high school, stricken at the mere sight of her, tongue-tied in her presence. Does anyone, anymore, linger in the shadows of evening, drawn by the pale light of a window—her window—like some hapless summer insect? That delirious swooning, asexual but urgent and obsessive, that made me awkward and my voice crack, is like some impossible dream now. I would catch sight of her, walking down an aisle of trees to or from school, and I’d become paralyzed.

She always seemed so poised, so self-possessed. At home, I’d relive each encounter, writhing at the thought of my inadequacies. We eventually got acquainted and socialized as we entered our adolescence, she knew I had a case on her, and I sensed her affectionate tolerance for me. "Going steady" implied a maturity we still lacked. Her Orthodox Jewish upbringing and my own Catholic scruples imposed an inhibited grace that made even kissing a distant prospect, however fervently desired. I managed to hold her once at a dance—chaperoned, of course. Our embrace made her giggle, a sound so trusting that I hated myself for what I’d been thinking. At any rate, my love for Rachel remained unrequited. We graduated from high school, she went on to college, and I joined the Army.

When World War II engulfed us, I was sent overseas. For a time we corresponded, and her letters were the highlight of those grinding endless years. Once she sent me a snapshot of herself in a bathing suit, which drove me to the wildest of fantasies. I mentioned the possibility of marriage in my nest letter, and almost immediately her replies became less frequent, less personal. Her Dear John letter finally caught up with me while I was awaiting discharge. She gently explained the impossibility of a marriage between us. Looking back on it, I must have recovered rather quickly, although for the first few months I believed I didn’t want to live. Like Rachel, I found someone else, whom I learned to love with a deep and permanent commitment that has lasted to this day.

56、According to the passage, how old was the author when his first love affair began?

A. Before he entered his teens.

B. In his early teens.

C. In his middle teens.

D. When he was just out of his teens.

57、How did the author behave as a boy in love?

A. His first love motivated him toward hard study.

B. His first love evoked sentimental memories.

C. He was overpowered by wild excitement and passion.

D. He fulfilled his expectations and desires.

58、According to the passage, what held them back from a loving kiss?

A. Her Jewish origin did not allow it.

B. His Catholic adherence forbade it.

C. They were not sure whether it was proper or ethical to kiss in line with their religious decorum.

D. Kissing was found to be inelegant or even distasteful.

59、According to the passage, what was Rachel’s response to the author’s tender affection before the war?

A. She recognized and accepted his love affectionately.

B. She thwarted his affection by flatly turning him down.

C. She fondly permitted him to adore her without losing her own heart to him.

D. She didn’t care for him at all and only took delight in playing with his feelings.

60、Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?

A. Statement and example.

B. Cause and effect.

C. Order of importance.

D. Linear description.

Part A

Directions:

Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

Text 1

Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year, Rowena will be attending Harvard University. Billy, her younger brother, hopes to go to Com ell. What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they don't go to school. In fact, they've never been to school. Since kindergarten, they've studied at home. Neither Rowena nor Billy feels as if they've missed out on anything by being taught at home. Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if they've gotten a good education.

The home-schooling trend began in the U.S. in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today, as the home-schooling trend continues to grow, parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools don't do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places. But can parents really do a better job?

The answer in many cases is yes. In many studies, students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools. More importantly, these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge. "They are very well prepared for academic challenges," says Patricia Riordan, the dean of admissions at George Mason

University.

One such student, Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling. Still, not every student is as successful as Robert.

"For every home-schooling success story, there are an equal number of failures," states Henry Lipscomb, an educational researcher. "There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome. " For example, they have fewer chances to interact with others of their own age. Consequently, they sometimes lack the usual social skills. "No matter what, though," states Lipscomb, "home-schooling is a growing trend. I think we'll be seeing more and more of this. "

26. Compared with other students, the most different thing Rowena and Billy do is that________

A. they study hard

B . they do extremely well on achievement tests

C . they never go to school

D . they feel they have gotten a good education

27. At first in the 1980s parents gave home-schooling to children for________

A. better education

B . religious education

C . safety

D . all the above

28. According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home?

A. Home is a safer place for children.

B . Students taught at home are more self-directed.

C . Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge.

D . Students taught at home can go to good universities.

29. The Walter thinks

A.parents can do a better job than schools

B . home-schooling will be more and more useful

C . students taught at home make greater achievements

D . home-schooling is good in some aspects

30. The best title of this text might be________

A. Home-schooling: A Growing Trend

B . Home-schooling: A Better Choice

C . Home-schooling: A Way to Success

D . Home-schooling: A New Method of Education

Text 2

A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate. It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back. When you smile, you

show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result? That person will usually smile back.

You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin. This is often called the "thinking pose". Ask yourself this question: Are you going to interrupt someone who appears .to be deep in thought? This position gives off "stay away" signs and prevents your main "sign sender" ( your mouth) from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs.

The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other person--that is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someone's "personal space" by getting too close, too soon.

Leaning forward a little while a person is talking shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what you're saying, and I'm interested in--keep talking!

Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth, chin, or behind their head in the "thinking" pose. This position gives off signs of judgment, doubt, and lack of interest from the listener. Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged, this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing.

In many cultures the most common form of first contact between two people is a handshake. Be the first to extend your hand in greeting. Couple this with a friendly "Hello", a nice smile, and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication.

Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Direct eye contact shows you are listening to the other person and that you want to know about her.

31. A person smiles to show________

A. he is kind and useful

B . he is happy all the time

C . he is ready to talk with you

D . he sees something funny

32. According to the text, troubles in communication may result from________

A. a dosed body position

B . an open body position

C . no smile

D . the main " sign senders"

33. Leaning back with your hands behind your head in deep thought while a person is talking________

A. shows you are interested in and listening to what the speaker is saying

B . shows you want to keep some distance from the speaker

C . makes him think-you are thinking about something else

D . makes him believe you are not interested in his talk

34. All of the following gestures encourage communication except________

A. leaning forward a little while a person is talking

B . crossing your arms

C . looking in others' eyes

D . extending your hand in greeting

35. From the text we know that________

A. communication depends.ads little on verbal language and much on body language

B . gestures always prevent the "sign sender" (mouth)

C . we should pay much attention to body language

D . eye contact is always helpful
