Reading Comprehension(40%)Passage1In Western countries people have been using the installment（分期付款）plan since the first half of the twentieth century.Today,a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installment.In the U.S.,the figure is much higher than in Great Britain,and people there spend over10percent of their income on the installment plan.The price of an article bought on installment is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash.There is a charge for interest.The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment（首期付款）when the goods are delivered to him.He then makes regular payments,weekly or monthly,until the full piece is paid up.The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages.It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping.It increases the demand for goods,and in this way helps business and employment.There is,however,the danger that when business is bad,installment buying may end suddenly,making business much worse.This may result in a great increase in unemployment.If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs,they will probably not be able to make their payments.If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money.If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit,it becomes more likely to have a depression.This is why,in some countries,the government controls theinstallment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and each of the following installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.36.Which of the following is NOT true about the installment plan?A.A lot of British families use the installment plan.B.More than10percent American families buy things on installments.C.Americans depend more on installment than British people do.D.Americans spend more than one tenth of their income on installment buying.37.Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because______.A.the buyer has to pay extra money as interestB.the delivery of the goods charges extra moneyC.the buyer has to pay a down paymentD.the service offered by installment plan is much better38.What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought oninstallment?A.He might lose his job.B.He will not own the item he has bought.C.He will have to sell what he has bought.D.He will go into debt.39.The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that______.A.purchasing power is strengthenedB.employment might be increasedC.people develop a good habit of saving moneyD.young couples are able to furnish their homes40.In some countries,the governments control the installment plan to______.A.increase employmentB.increase people’s incomeC.ensure that businesses make good profitsD.ensure that people can pay for what they buyPassage2Publicity（宣传，报道）offers several benefits.There are no costs for message time or space. An ad in prime time television may cost$250,000or mare per minute,whereas a five-minute report on a network newscast would not cost anything.However,there are costs for news releases（发布）,a publicity department,and other items.As with advertising,publicity reaches a mass audience.Within a short time,new products or company policies are widely known.Credibility（可信度）about messages is high,because they are reported in independent media.A newspaper review of a movie has more believability than an ad in the same paper,because the reader associates independence with objectivity.Similarly,people are more likely to pay attention to news reports than ads.Readers spend time reading the stories,but they flip through（草草翻阅）the ads.Furthermore,there may be hundreds of ads in a magazine.Feature stories （专题报道）are much fewer in number and stand out clearly.Publicity also has some significant limitations.A firm has little control over messages,their timing,placement（报道顺序）,or coverage.It may issue detailed news releases and find only small portions of them reported by the media;and media have the ability to be much more critical than a company would like.A firm may want publicity during certain periods,such as when a new product is introduced or new store opened,but the media may not cover the introduction or opening until after the time it would aid the firm.Similarly,media determine the placement of a story;it may follow a report on crime or sports.Finally,the media ascertain（确定）whether to cover a story at all and the amount of coverage to be devoted to it.A company-sponsored（赞助）job program might go unreported or receive three-sentence coverage in a local newspaper.41.The author mentions all of the following advantages of publicity EXCEPT______.A.having no time costsB.having attentivenessC.having high credibilityD.having no space costs42.People are more likely to believe in news repots than ads because______.A.they reach a larger audience than ads doB.they are all latest eventsC.they appear in independent mediaD.they are much more in number and stand out clearly43.Which of the following in NOT a limitation of publicity?A.Bad timingB.Very detailed reportingC.Placement after a report on crimeD.Being reported much less than expected44.One of the reasons why feature stories seem more reliable than ads is that______.A.they are more believableB.they are more objectiveC.they are more interestingD.they are much fewer in number and stand out clearly45.The last sentence in the last paragraph implies that______.A.the placement of a story is not quite importantB.the report of a crime may not be trueC.local newspapers may not be interested in company-sponsored programsD.publicity is always successfulPassage3The idea behind“the rule of law”is that it is laws based on logical reasons and clear thinking that should govern social life.“We live under a rule of law,not of men.”American teachers tell their students.The students accept the idea.They believe that“no man is above the law,”and that laws apply equally to all people no matter how wealthy they are,what their personal connections are,or what their stations in life are.Their faith in the rule of law explains the belief many Americans held,and many foreigners could not understand,that President Richard Nixon should be removed from office as a result of his behavior in connection with whatwas called“Watergate Scandal(水门事件)”.Nixon had broken the law and therefore should be punished,Americans believed,even if he was the President.The belief in the rule of law goes beyond the area of politics to other areas of life that are governed by formal rules and procedures.To get a job with government institutions,for example, or to get government funding for a research project,one must follow published procedures and show that one meets the published requirements.Personal connections are not supposed to matter under the rule of law.This is not to say that personal contacts,wealth,and social influence do not matter in situations where laws and rules are to be obeyed.They may.What is said above describes the ideal with which Americans agree.In reality,connections can sometimes help a person get a government job.Rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behavior that poor people would be likely to be punished for.But in general the rule of law prevails,and Americans are proud that it does.46.The word“stations”(Line5,Para1)is closest in meaning to______.A.stagesB.situationsC.successesD.social positions47.The writer mentions President Richard Nixon in the first paragraph in order to show that____.A.no man is above the lawB.the president should make sure of the rule of lawC.the rule of law is important in politicsD.American people have the right to remove the president48.It can be learned from the last paragraph that in the United States the rule of law____.A.is not carried out as fully as it should beB.makes poor people also likely to be successfulC.is,in reality,almost impossible to realizeD.makes sure that everyone is punished for his wrongdoing49.The pronoun“They”in the second line of the last paragraph refers to all of the followingEXCEPT______.A.personal connectionsws and rulesC.social influenceD.wealth50.The main idea of the last paragraph is______.A.Americans are idealistic(理想主义的)about lawsB.rich people can sometimes go unpunished for illegal behaviorC.the American employment system is unfairws are more important than personal connections or influence in most cases in the USPassage4Human cloning（克隆）technology could be used to reverse heart attacks.Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged,and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning,infertile couples could have children.Current treatments for infertility,in terms of percentages（百分比）,are not very successful.Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children.Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children.Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow(骨髓)for children and adults suffering from leukemia(白血病).This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above are just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind.This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.51.Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by________.A.removing the damaged part of the heartB.replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC.repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD.giving the patients injections of various medicines52.The word“infertile”(Line1,Para.2)most probably means“________”.A.unable to give birth to a childB.having physical and emotional problemsC.short of time and moneyD.separated from each other for long53.Paragraph Two implies that in treating infertility,________.A.the percentage of successful treatments is very high when present methods are usedB.the present treatment is very cheapC.the cloning technology costs less time and money in treating infertilityD.the cloning technology is more suitable for treating infertility than leukemia54.The following are all examples of the benefits from the cloning technology EXCEPT_______.A.treating heart attack victimsB.releasing people’s fearsC.treatment for infertilityD.curing cancer55.According to the writer,the main problem with the development of human cloningtechnology is that________.A.it may be out of human controlB.it has brought about few benefits so farC.people still know little about itD.people are afraid of such technology Part III Cloze(10%)We got up early this morning and56a long walk after breakfast.We walked57the business section of the city.I told you yesterday that the
