Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)

Passage 1

Long ago, an operation had usually to be done while the sick man could fell everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain of his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.

Passage 3

Most people agree that the direct, assertive (过分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others

from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S., children often argue with their parents, students may disagree

with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has anything in it or the meat is too lough to cat, the diner can complain to the waiter; if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.

Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn’t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures ma dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.

Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kind-hearted. Most newcomers to the U.S. like Americans, and the felling is usually mutual. Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.

Passage 4

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed - no examination is perfect-but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There arc groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the values and the purpose of each teacher.

Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them -a form offavoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an

ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.

The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.

A. there will be no equality nor standards

B. the bright child will have no opportunity

C. the employers will favor the dull child

D. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation

【答案】A

【解释】根据第二段第二句可知,没有了考试制度却会宣告了平等和标准的死亡.

48. The word “favoritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that

A. bright children usually get better jobs

B. poor children with certificates are favored in job markets

C. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success

D. children from well-respected schools will have good jobs

【答案】D

【解释】根据第三段末句可知,如果没有了考试制度,差学校的好学生会被学校的声誉所影响.也就是雇主会依靠学校的好坏 来决定是否雇佣.

49. Those who are against the examination system will agree that .

A. pupils shouldn't be divided into “the bright” and “the dull

B. special classes are necessary to keep the school standards

C. school reputation is important in the job market
