Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete
statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best
choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.
Passage One
Online services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellites users. Users of so-called “dumb” terminals (i.e.,those without
processing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system.
Personal computer (PC. users typically access the host through a modem (调制解调器). A PC
software program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the user
to operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard or a
mouse.
National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users to
copy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reduces
the time the user is connected to the online system.
Besides offering a great number of different information bases, ranging from full- text journal libraries to reports of
missing children, online services allow users to, for example, reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and commumcate with other users. In
exchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee. They may also pay to
connect to various databases on the service or to download information.
41. Online services work by providing users with_________.
A. a base of information
B. dumb terminals
C. a host system
D. a satellite
42. How can the users of terminals without processing capability acquire the necessary information?
A. They can simply use a keyboard or a mouse.
B. They should use a modem to maintain the host system.
C. They should connect their computer to a satellite system.
D. They can access its base through the programs on the system.
43. If you copy the online information onto your PC device, you will .
A. save the time of connecting to the online system
B. reduce the risk of losing information
C. pay just local telephone charges
D. get local information only
44. If you want to read full-text journals online, you usually have to .
A. seek for a large amount of information
B. be connected to various databases
C. be introduced by the local library
D. pay a monthly membership fee
45. The passage is mainly about_________.
A. the payment for online services
B. the functions of online services
C. the development of online services
D. the relation between online services and the users Passage Two
In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major
problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生)
and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.
The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of
farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay.
One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents.
Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban
population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to
enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead
to violence.
The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement
for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health
and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved
methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude
towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the
towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of
the rural area.
46. What does the word “urban” (Line 2, Para. 3) mean?
A. Of the city.
B. Out of work.
C. In a bad condition.
D. Of enormous size.
47. Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because_________.
A. they can hardly support their families on farms
B. they are unhappy with their life in the country
C. the rural areas are too crowded with people
D. they hope to have their own business
48.In the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is .
A. practical
B. possible
C. not realistic
D. not sufficient
49. According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if .
A. traditional methods of farming are well kept
B. conditions in rural areas are much improved
C. the government can provide more jobs
D.violence could be controlled in cities
50. Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the country?
A.Their expectations.
B. Their interests.
C. Their income.
D. Their attitude.
Passage Three
As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in
this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not
eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who
goes to work every day but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home
most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood
counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk
for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely
“not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special
needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health
specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are
actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned
with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most
important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their
health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”, in this
new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of
th eir physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people
can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be
better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on
healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in
which people face the challenges of daily life.
51. Today medical care is placing more stress on _____.
A. keeping people in a healthy physical condition
B. monitoring patients’ body functions
C. removing people’s bad living habits
D. ensuring people’s psychological well-being
52. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ______.
A. good health is more than not being ill
B. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful
C. regular health checks are essential to keeping fit
D. prevention is more difficult than cure
53. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he _____.
A. does not have any unhealthy living habits
B. does not have any physical handicaps
C. is able to handle his daily routines
D. is free from any kind of disease
54. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people_____.
A. to best satisfy their body’s special needs
B. to strive to maintain the best possible health
C. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
D. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure
55. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would be
considered healthy?
A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.
C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.
D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.
Passage Four
In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans
are turning to Japan, a country of high academic
achievement and economic success, for
possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones
Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put
on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool
teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early
childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give
children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have
preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three
choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools
do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of
Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top
three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually
oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance
of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.
Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese
kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In
large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and
secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a
university-based program, i t will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted。
