Part II Reading Comprehension (30 minutes 30%)
Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or
unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C and D. You are
required to decide on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Very high waves arc destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens.
One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving
in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that
water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce its
strength.
But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves
sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave.
25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds.
(91) Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea.
During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms (600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.
21. According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs ______
A. regularly B. rarely C. always D. predictably
22. It is implied that Out at sea, when waves going in opposite directions meet.
their force _______
A. causes great damage B. extends to the ocean floor
C. is liable to lessen D. increases rapidly
23. Coastal depth _______
A. is the only factor influencing the strength of high waves
B. has enormous influence on the force of high waves
C. has no influence on the strength of very high waves
D. is irrelevant to the power of high waves
24. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that the power of high waves striking the shore is _______
A. constant B. equalized C. variable D. perpetual
25. It is impossible for the high waves ______
A. to bring about most raging storms
B. to have an effect on the sea bottom
C. to affect the surface of the sea
D. to cause damage to the land
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on he following passage.
If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the rifled few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choice, for the job must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. (92) Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.
In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. The question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphases among the natural sciences themselves.
Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.
26. It is indicated in Para.1 that the task of education is fairly complicated because_______
A. the current public school system is too complicated to be understood
B. the public school system has no choice of what to teach
C. it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public school
D. The educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students
27. The word “defeated” (Para.2) most probably means _______
A. broken B. beaten C. lost D. smashed
28. Which of the following statements is NOT included in the passage?
A. One of the major tasks of education is to discover the most promising students.
B. In order to teach effectively, educators are requested to lay emphasis on one particular
field.
C. Some subjects have been over-emphasized in public schools.
D. The progress of the society cannot merely rely on inventors.
29. It can be inferred from the passage that _______
A. students should learn more up-to-date knowledge
B. lack of scientific knowledge will lead to poor relations between producers and users of
scientific services
C. students are getting to know the importance of a good balance among the branches of
knowledge
D. Sufficient attention should be given to basic knowledge
30. The best title for this passage might be _______
A. Balance in Education
B. Educational System in Public School
C. Current Situation in Education
D. Importance of Teaching Science and Technology
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
In primitive societies sick people had to rely on medicine men and witch doctors. (Some people still rely on them.) (93) It was believed that a person was sick because he had been attacked by evil spirits. The witch doctor’s job was to drive off these spirits.
His technique involved a combination of three methods, the first of which was religious. He chanted magic words and used good luck charms which he thought had power over the evil spirits that supposedly had entered the victim’s body. Secondly, he deliberately fed the patient mixtures, which were often filthy and disgusting, to make the evil spirits so uncomfortable that would gladly run away and so enable the patient to get well.
(94) The third method was to give the patient medicines prepared from certain plants and herbs that were similar in shape or texture to the various organs of the body. From our point of view, this was the only method that had any value. Modern scientific study has shown that some of these remedies had real usefulness in curing sickness, or at least in relieving pain, but not for the reasons advanced by the witch doctor.
31. The word “filthy”(Para. 2) most probably means ______
A. delicious B. effective C. dirty D. primitive
32. Disgusting mixtures were fed to the patient _______
A. to make them uncomfortable
B. to cause the spirits discomfort
C. because evil spirits liked them
D. because they had medical value
33. According to the passage, the witch doctors ______
A. functioned in curing some diseases
B. did nothing but harmed human’s health
C. firmly believed in religions
D. were proficient in medicine
34. When primitive people were cured, it was actually a result of _______
A. the witch doctor’s prayers
B. the departure of evil spirits from the body
C. reasons unknown to the witch doctor
D. the great skill of witch doctor
35. Scientifically speaking, it might be somewhat effective in curing sickness for witch doctor _______
A. to use good luck charms
B. to chant magic words
C. to feed the sick people mixtures
D. to give the patient medicines prepared from certain plants and herbs
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made
a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat. (95) Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this matter. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals “I know you”. I am interested in you” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you. “This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
36. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _______
A. every glance has its significance
B. staring at a person is an expression of interest
C. a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
D. a glance conveys more meaning than words
37. If a person wants to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is
A. to look into another passenger’s eyes
B. to avoid eye contact with other passengers
C. to signal that he is not a threat to them
D. to keep a certain distance from other passengers
38. The phrase“ a dimming of the lights” most probably means ______
A. closing one’s eyes B. turning off the lights
C. ceasing to glance at others D. reducing gaze-time to the minimum
39. If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel ______
A. depressed B. uneasy C. curious D. amazed
40. The passage is mainly about ______
A. the limitation of eye contacts
B. the exchange of ideas through eye contacts
C. proper behavior in different situation
D. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communication

Unavoidably, Global climate is to change. "No matter 41 well the world controls
emissions of greenhouse gases, global climate change is 42 ", warn two new studies which
take into 43 the oceans' slow response 44 warming.
45 greenhouse gases never rise beyond their present level, temperatures and sea levels will continue 46 for another century or more because of a time 47 in the oceans' response to atmospheric temperatures, say researchers.
This time lag means policymakers cannot afford to wait to tackle climate change 48 its consequences become painful, because 49 then they will already be committed 50 further change, they urge. "The feeling is that if things are getting bad, you 51 the stop button. But even if you 52 , the climate continues to change," says Gerald Meehl, a climatologist.
But even an optimistic scenario predicts that 53 temperatures would continue to rise 54 between 0. 4℃ and 0. 6℃over the next century. That increase is 55 to the increase in during the 20th century.
And because water expands as it 56 this time lag in temperature will continue to push sea level 57 . Meehl's models predict that thermal expansion alone would make sea levels rise by about 11 centimeters over the next century, even if greenhouse gases were held 58 2,000 levels. The real rise would almost certainly be more, he says, because his models do not include the effect of 59 of glaciers and icecaps, which will be 60 rapid in a warmer world.
