If you listen _61 to a professor who is talking on and on for an hour or so, your mind will often 62 and your attention lessen. You are sitting in class and listening, but that 63 you are doing, however, when you listen actively you have to pay more careful and 64 attention to what is being said.This is because you are trying to transform what you hear into an 65 shortened written form. As a foreign student, you may find 66 very difficult to listen and write notes in English at the same time. It is difficult at first, but you will learn how to do so with practice. You may be afraid you will forget what you are listening to 67 you are listening and writing at the same time, but the studies of researchers 68 the value of note taking in understanding lecture material have shown that learners remember information they have reproduced in some note form much better than lecture information they have listened to 69 did not take down in note form.

Reading Comprehension(30 items, 30 points, 45 minutes)Directions:In this part there are several passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Mark your choice on Answer Sheet (2) by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Passage OneRevenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys. People don’t like to talk about it, though. Just the same, there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge. The purpose is not to harm your victims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you. Careful plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome coworkers, gossiping friends, or nagging family members.Coworkers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be taken care of very simply. All you have to do is to get up extra early one day. Before the sun comes up, dri ve to each coworker’s house. Reach under the hood of your coworker’s car and disconnect the center wire that leads to the distributor cap, the car will be unharmed, but it will not start, and your friends at work will all be late for work on the same day. If you’re lucky, your boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise.Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge. A way to trap either male or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers. If the friend that you want to get is male, leave a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day. With any luck, her boyfriends will be there. The girl won’t know what’s going on, and the victim will be so em barrassed that he probably won’t leave his home for a month.When Mum and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you, harmless revenge may be just the way to make them quiet down for a while. The dinner table is a likely place. Just before the meal begins, throw a handful of raisins into the food. Wait about five minutes and, after everyone has begun to eat, cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises. When they ask you what the matter is , point to a raisin and yell, “Bugs!” They’ll dump their food in the disposal, jump into the car, and head for McDonald’s. That night, you’ll have your first quiet, peaceful meal in a long time.A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone. The object is simply to let other people know that they are beginning to bother you.71. The main topic of the passage is how to ______.[A] avoid nagging family members[B] silence gossiping friends[C] make a harmless revenge[D] deal with bothersome coworkers72. According to the passage, a harmless revenge is ______.[A] to react to those who bother you[B] to amuse the victim[C] to prevent one from disturbing others[D] to hurt nobody emotionally73. As a harmless revenge, you might come first and get a raise by_____.[A] pleasing your boss[B] getting up earlier than your colleagues[C] destroying your colleagues’ cars[D] making your colleagues come late74. Which of the following statements is true according to the second example?[A] The girl received a phony message.[B] The victim was invited by the girl.[C] The girl managed to revenge the victim harmlessly.[D] The girl wasn’t expecting the victim.75. The family members dumped their food in the disposal because______.[A] they wanted to eat out[B] they thought their food had been spoiled[C] they wanted to have a peaceful meal[D] they didn’t like the food with raisinsPassage TwoThe study of social science is more than the study of the individual social sciences. Although it is true that to be a good social scientist you must know each of those components, you must also know how they interrelate. By specializing too early, many social scientists can lose sight of the interrelationships that are so essential to understanding modern problems. That’s why it is necessary to have a course covering all the social sciences. In fact, it would not surprise me if one day a news story such as the one above should appear.The preceding passage placed you in the future. To understand how and when social science broke up, you must go into the past. Imagine for a moment that you’re a student in 1062, in the Italian city of Bologna, site of one of the first major universities in the western world. The university has no buildings. It consists merely of a few professors and students. There is no tuition fee. At the end of a professor’s lecture, if you like it, you pay. And if you don’t like it, the professor finds himself without students and without money. If we go back still earlier, say to Greece in the sixth century B. C., we can see the philosopher Socrates walking around the streets of Athens, arguing with his companions. He asks them questions, and then other questions, leading these people to reason the way he wants them to reason (this became known as the Socratic Method).Times have changed since then; universities sprang up throughout the world and createdcolleges within the universities. Oxford, one of the first universities, now has thirty colleges associated with it, and the development and formalization of educational institutions has changed the roles of both students and faculty. As knowledge accumulated, it became more and more difficult for one person to learn, let alone retain, it all. In the sixteenth century one could still aspire to know all there was to know, and the definition of the Renaissance Man (people were even more sexist then than they are now) was of one who was expected to know about everything.Unfortunately, at least for someone who wants to know everything, the amount of information continues to grow exponentially while the size of the brain has grown only slightly. The way to deal with the problem is not to try to know everything about everything. Today we must specialize．That is why social science separated from the natural sciences and why it, in turn, has been broken down into various sub-fields, such as anthropology and sociology.76. What is the main idea of this passage?[A] Social science is unified.[B] Social science is a newborn science.[C] What is social science？[D] Specialization in social science is not good.77. What can we learn from the second paragraph?[A] Socrates can be regarded as the first social scientist in the western world.[B] The universities in Italy have no buildings.[C] Socrates created the “Socratic methods”.[D] Greece is not as civilized as Italy.78. Why does the author says “people were even more sexist then than they are now”?[A] Because they are so covetous that they want to know all there was to know.[B] Because it is the Renaissance “Man”, not Renaissance “Woman” or “Human”.[C] Because mp woman was formally educated at that time.[D] Because all Renaissance men were men.79. What does the underlined word “exponentially” mean in the first sentence of the lastparagraph？[A] promisingly[B] continuously[C] drastically[D] rapidly80. We can infer from the passage that_____.[A] social science is a united science, and cannot be divided into sub-fields[B] social science may be further divided into smaller parts as the amount ofknowledge and information expanding[C] there may be a Renaissance Man in the future[D] the best way to deal with the expansion of information is to know everythingPassage ThreeIn the past, the concept of marketing emphasized sales. The producer or manufacturer made a product he wanted to sell. Marketing was the task of figuring out how to sell the product. Basically , selling the product would be accomplished by sales promotion, which included advertising and personal selling. In addition to sales promotion, marketing also involved the physical distribution of the product to the places where it was actually sold. Distribution consisted of transportation, storage, and related services such as financing, standardization and grading, and the related risks.The modern marketing concept encompasses all of the activities mentioned, but it is based on a different set of principles. It subscribes to the notion that production can be economically justified only by consumption. In other words, goods should be produced only if they can be sold. Therefore, the producer should consider who is going to buy the product—or what the market for the product is –before production begins. This is very different from making a product and then thinking about how to sell it.81.

They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems---and that they have no sense of humor , at least in parent-child relationships, I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or entertainers or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do . If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’ control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.86.
