PART II Reading Comprehension (50%)
Directins: There are 4 passages in this part. 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 should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letteron the Answer Sheet with a pencil.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
To us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.
Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, was back in the eleventh century B.C.
We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high offices.
In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against rain were the ancient Romans.
During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And against it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later on in England.
By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made in a whole variety of colors.
21. The first use of umbrella was as __________ .
A) Chinese B) Romans C) Greeks D) Egyptians
23. The umbrella was used only by royalty or by those in high offices _____.
24. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
25. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
Adam Smith, writing in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages.
He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England. "One man draws out the wire; another strengthens it; a third cuts it; a fourth
points it; a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make
the head requires two or three operations. To put it on is a separate operation,
to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is,
in this manner, divided into about eighteen operations, which in some
factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same
man will sometimes perform two or three of them.
"Ten man, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4,800 pins per worker. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, none of them could have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.
There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of
organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but
he also took it for granted（想当然地认为…）that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it
accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still（停滞不前）. But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce more of what they already have.
26. According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to _____.
31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or
having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matters very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone
calls made after 11:00 p.m.. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours,
he assumes it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call
communicates its importance.
In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U. S. A. guests tend
to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is
extended only three or four days before the party date.
But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world. it may be
considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans
which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The
meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.
Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time
differently; promptness (准时) is valued highly in American life, for example,
if people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully
responsible. In the U. S. no one would think of keeping a business friend
waiting for an hour; it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late
is expected to make a short apology.
If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation,
though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.
31. "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00p.m. " Here "attached" means__________ .
A) taken B) drawn C) given D) shown
32. Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at midnight, this would mean __________ .
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
The United States is a country made up of many different races. Usually they are mixed together and can't be told from one another. But many of them still talk about where their ancestors came from. It is something they are proud of.
The original Americans, of course were the Indians. The so- called white men who then came were mostly from England. But many came from other countries like Germany and France.
One problem the United States has always had is discrimination（歧视）.
As new groups came to the United States they found they were discriminated against. First it was the Irish and Italians. Later it was the blacks.
Almost every group has been able to finally escape this discrimination.
The only immigrants who have not are the blacks. Surprisingly enough the worst discrimination today is shown towards the Indians. One reason the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried so hard to keep their identity. Of course they are not the only ones who have done so. The Japanese have their Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and the Chinese a Chinatown in New York. The Dutch settlement in Pennsylvania also stays separate from other people. Their towns are like something from the 19th century. They have a different reason from the other groups for staying separately. They live separately for religious reasons rather than keep together in a racial group.
Although some groups have kept themselves separate and others have been discriminated against, all groups have helped make the United States a
great country. There is no group that has not helped in someway. And there is
no group that can say they have done the most to make it a great country.
Many people still come from other countries to help the United States grow.
A good example is the American project that let a man walk on the moon.
It was a scientist from Germany who was most responsible for doing that.
It is certain that in the future the United States will still need the help of
people from all racial groups to remain a great country.
36. Which of the following statements can best describe the main idea of this passage?
A) separated B) distinguish ed C) revealed D) made known
38. This passage implies that discrimination is a problem which _____.
PART Ⅲ English-Chinese Translation (15%)
Directions: Read the following passage carfully. Then translate it into Chinese. Remember to write your tranlsation on the Answer Sheet. In the 1990s, people are very aware of how bad things are. As are sult, they completely ignore information about new developments and crises to prevent themselves from going "crazy". Today's leaders should therefore provde people with a sense that current problems are soluble (可以解决的).
We needt to break large-scale crises down to small manageable pieces rather than cause people to believe that the situation is even more complex and difficult that they thought. People need to believe that they can really do something within their ownsituation, and to do this, they must recognize that it is in theirself - interest to change their behavior.
