II.READING COMPREHENSION
In this part there are 4 reading passages followed by 20 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best answer or the best choice to complete the statement and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points, 2 points each)
Passage 1
When you’re negotiating with someone, listen for the messages that he or she might be sending to you. For example, the word “difficult” does not mean the same as impossible. Imagine you’re staying in a hotel, and you want to change your room. The manager’s answer of,“That would be very difficult, sir”,does not mean that he is saying “no.” It just means that he wants to know what you are prepared to offer him in return for the change of room.
If you are buying a new car, and want to pay less than the price being asked, then the salesman’s comment, “I’m sorry, but we never negotiate on the price”, means that they do negotiate on other things, like the delivery time, or the “extra” that might be available as part of the purchase. In the same car showroom, if the salesman says, “Sorry, I can’t negotiate prices”, then your response should be to ask who can. The message the salesman is sending suggests that his boss is the one you need to be talking to.
In all of these situations, the message is never communicated in clear terms. In any negotiation15, the two “players” wish to get as much out of it as they can, of course. In the three examples above, the salesmen and the hotel manager are hoping that you will accept their price or conditions—but their “messages” make it clear that there may be room for movement and compromise. In a successful negotiation, the two sides move towards each other and reach agreement on conditions that satisfy both sides.
21.The hotel manager’s answer “That would be very difficult, sir” implies .
A．you can change the room if you find some excuse
B．someone else has paid more for the room under discussion
C．the room is available if an extra sum of money is offered
D．someone else has booked the room in return for more money
22.When the salesmen tell you that they never negotiate on the price, you can .
A．negotiate the price with the manager
B．demand to see the one who can
C．find out other possibilities in the purchase
D．accept the price without any further negotiation
23.This passage is intended for .
A．managers B．customers
C．salesmen D．scholars
24.The passage tells us how to .
A．send massages16 in a negotiation
B．become a successful salesman
C．profit from business transactions
D．receive messages in a negotiation
25.It can be safely concluded from the passage that .
A．at least two players should be in the room for communication
B．a lot can be inferred from what is actually stated in a negotiation
C．you should never communicate your ideas in clear terms
D．you should play the roles of a salesman and manager in a negotiation
Passage 2
Following football hero O.J.Simpson’s arrest in June 1994 for the murder of his ex-wife and one of her friends, Newsweek and Time magazines ran the same police mug shot of Simpson on their covers. Newweek’s version was a straight reproduction. Time electronically manipulated the photo to darken it and achieve a gloomy and threatening look that emphasized Simpson’s unshaven cheeks and African-American skin color. The alteration17 offended many readers and raised an increasingly familiar question: In an age of computer-controlled images, can anyone still trust a photograph?
Altering a digitized image(数码技术相片), as Time did for its cover, has been one of the fastest-growing, most far-reaching, and most controversial(有争议的) techniques in contemporary photography. With this method a photograph is scanned(扫描), digitized (converted into a set of numeric values), and entered into a computer from which the operator can control the image almost in any way imaginable: add, delete, or change the position of visual elements; modify tones and colors; create montages; combine photographs; and even create entirely18 imaginary scenes. The digitized image can be stored in a data base, output as a print(底片) or transparency(透明胶片), or converted for video-screen display.
Electronic image manipulation arrived in force in the 1980s with a new type of computers that cost on the order of $500,000 or more and occupied and entire room. More compact and far less expensive desktop19 systems soon appeared, capable of, at least, limited image control and available at chain-store prices.
The ever-rising flood of digitized visual information may not, as some critics fear, fatally destroy the certainty of photographic evidence. Yet many observers agree that both suppliers and consumers of photographic information must exercise greater care than before to tell fact from falsehood in the images they use.
26.Which of the following magazines was accused of distorting the murderer’s photograph by many readers?
A．Time. B．Newsweek.
C．Washington Post. D．Not mentioned in the passage
27.Nowadays, electronic image alterations20 are .
A．unbearably21 expensive
B．more expensive in the States
C．only available in chain stores
D．far less expensive than before
28.The digitized alteration technique is .
A．developing with great care
B．very capable and developing rapidly
C．strongly criticized due to its easy access
D．fatal in destroying the certainty of photographic evidence
29.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．With digitized alteration techniques, a photograph may be scanned, digitized and altered.
B．With digitized alteration techniques, the digitized images can be stored in a data base or transformed for video-screen display.
C．With digitized alteration techniques, both suppliers and consumers of photographic information are able to tell fact from falsehood in the image they use.
D．With digitized alteration techniques, it is possible for the computer operators to control the image almost in any conceivable way.
30.What is the author’s attitude toward the technique of digitized image manipulation?
A．Critical. B．Objective.
C．Indifferent. D．Supportive.
Passage 3
The importance of symbols as a source of cultural diversity can be seen in the dress codes and hairstyles of different societies. In most situations, the symbolism of clothing and hairstyles communicates different messages ranging from political beliefs to identification with specific ethnic22 or religious groups. The tartan(格子呢) of a Scottish clan23, the black leather jacket and long hair of a motorcycle gang member in the United States, and the veil of an Islamic woman in Saudi Arabia provide a symbolic24 vocabulary that creates cultural diversity.
Many examples of clothing styles could be used to illustrate25 how symbols are used to produce cultural diversity. Consider, for instance, changing dress codes in the United States. During the 1960s, many young people wore jeans, sandals, and beads26 to symbolize27 their rebellion against what they conceived as the conformist inclinations28 of American society. By the 1980s, many of the same people were wearing “power suits” as they sought to advance up the corporate29 ladder.
An example of how hairstyles can create meaningful symbolic codes can be seen in a group known as the Rastafarians(sometimes known as Rastas or Rastaman) of Jamaica. The majority of the people of Jamaica are of African descent. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they were brought to Jamaica by European slave traders to work on plantations30. The Rastafarians are a specific religious group within Jamaica who believe that Haile Selassie(1892-1975), the former emperor of Ethiopia, whose original name was Ras Tafari, was the black Messiah who appeared in the flesh for the redemption of all blacks exiled in the world of white oppression. Rastafarian religion fuses Old Testament31 teachings, Christian32 mysticism, and Afro-Jamaican religious beliefs. The Rastafarian movement originated as a consequence of harsh economic, political, and living conditions in the slums of Jamaica.
In the 1950s, during the early phase of the Rastafarian movement, some male members began to grow their hair in “locks” or “dreadlocks” to symbolize their religious and political commitments. This hairstyle became well known in Western society through reggae(强节奏黑人音乐) music and Rasta musicians such as the late Bob Marley. Rastafarians derive33 the symbolism of the dreadlock hairstyle of the Rastafarians from the Bible. They view the unshaven man as the natural man and invoke34 Samson as one of the most important figures in the Bible. Dreadlocks also reflect a dominant35 symbol within the Rastafarian movement, the lion, which is associated with Haile Selassie, one of whose titles was the “Conquering Lion of Judah(犹大).”To simulate the spirit of the lion, some Rastas do not cut their hair, sometimes growing their locks 20 inches or more.
Thus, to a great extent, culture consists of a network of symbolic codes that enhance values, beliefs, worldviews, and ideologies36 within a society, Humans go to a great length to create symbols that provide meaning for individuals and groups. These symbolic meanings are a powerful source of cultural diversity.
31.What is the main idea of this selection?
A．Hairstyles and dress codes identify political beliefs in diverse societies.
B．The Rastafarian movement symbolized37 a religious and political commitment.
C．Symbols provide meaning and a satisfaction of biological needs in society.
D．Hairstyles and dress codes can be important symbols of cultural diversity in different societies.
32.The author uses the examples of the Scottish tartan, the motorcycle jacket, and the Islamic veil to show .
A．the political power of dress codes in different societies
B．the diversity of clothing styles throughout the world
C．dress codes that symbolize different ethnic and religious groups
D．the resistance to change of culturally different groups
33.The author suggests that the young people wearing jeans in the 1960s wore “power suits” in the 1980s because .
A．styles changed B．the American government changed
C．their attitudes and goals changed D．both outfits38 symbolized rebellion
34.All of the following are true of the Rastafarians EXCEPT .
A．they believe that Emperor Haile Selassie was the black Messiah
B．they are the original natives of Jamaica
C．they are a religious group with political commitments
D．they formed as a result of harsh living conditions in Jamaica
35.The Rastafarian movement began .
A．at the beginning of the nineteenth century
B．around the middle of the twentieth century
C．before European slave traders arrived
D．in the early eighteenth century
Passage 4
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic39 impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic(虐待狂的) impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seem to be rather a safety valve than an incitement40 to overt41 action. As to fears, there are , I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar42 that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted43 girlfriend.
No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane44 child has ever believed that it was.
36.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is .
A．repeated without variation B．treated with respect
C．adapted by the parent D．set in the present
37.Fairy stories are a means by which children’s impulses may be .
A．beneficially channeled B．given a destructive tendency
C．held back until maturity45 D．effectively suppressed
38.According to the passage great fear can be stimulated46 in a child when the story is .
A．in a realistic setting B．heard for the first time
C．repeated too often D．dramatically told
39.The advantage claimed for repeating a fairy story to young children is that it .
A．makes them come to terms with their fears
B．develops their power of memory
C．convinces them there is nothing to be afraid of
D．encourages them not to have ridiculous beliefs
40.The author’s mentioning of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that .
A．fairy stories are still being made up
B．there might be confusion about different kinds of truth
C．people try to modernize47 old fairy stories
D．there is more concern for children’s fears nowadays
III.SKIMMING AND SCANNING

Passage 1
When we call someone a pig or a swine, we do not mean it as a compliment. But pigs do not deserve to be used as a symbol for an insult. They are probably not as dirty as they are made out to be. According to one pig keeper, swine are very clean when allowed to live in a clean environment. He feels pigs are usually dirty simply because their keepers don’t clean their pens. In any case, no one has proven that the pig that wallows in mud prefers that to a cool bath. Furthermore, pigs are smarter than most wallows in mud prefers that to a cool bath. Furthermore, pigs are smarter than most people think. Many farmers, for example, have observed that pigs frequently undo48 complicated bolts on gates in search of adventure or romance. So the next time you call someone a pig, perhaps he or she ought to be someone you wish to praise.
41.This passage deals with .
A．the reasons why pigs are dirty
B．people’s wrong perceptions of pigs
C．how to insult or compliment people

Passage 2
The large, gleaming refrigerator is the focal point of most American kitchens. It holds enough food to last many days. It is cold enough to preserve that food well. Its advantages are clear. But that big refrigerator has its drawbacks as well, although they are not usually recognized. First of all, the large refrigerator encourages the hoarding50 of food, obesity51 and other eating problems. Also, it has destroyed the pleasant custom, still common in Europe, of going to market each day. Picking out one’s fresh produce daily while chatting with friends and neighbors is no longer a part of our lives. In addition, people’s desire to buy huge amounts of groceries just a few times a month has encouraged the growth of supermarkets and destroyed local grocery stores. Another victim of the giant refrigerator has been small local farmers, who can’t compete against the mega-producers favored by the supermarkets.
44.According to the passage, which of the following is regarded by the author as one of the victims of the “giant refrigerator”?
A．The supermarkets. B．The local grocery stores.

A．are more economical shoppers than Americans

46.The author’s tone in this passage is mainly .
A．cheerful B．depressing
C．critical D．optimistic
47.The passage mainly deals with .
A．the advantages of shopping patterns in Europe
B．disadvantages and advantages of large refrigerators
C．fresh, healthy produce and daily meeting with friends
D．wonderful modern kitchen appliances
Passage 3
Urbanization and industrialization demanded new directions in education. Public education, once a dream, now becomes a reality. Education was forced to meet new social changes. American society was getting much more complex; literacy became more essential. Secondary education, which had been almost totally in the hands of private individuals up to the time of the Civil War, gradually became a public concern. By the early 1900s there were over 7000 high schools, totaling an enrollment52 of over 1 million. Technological53 changes demand more vocational training. Subjects such as bookkeeping, typing, agriculture, woodworking, and metalworking were introduced into the curriculum. American education finally was becoming universal.
Higher education also responded to the need for more and different education. The Morril Act of 1862 established state land grant colleges that taught agricultural methods and vocational subjects. While curriculums included a large number of required courses during the first two years of college, more elective subjects were added during the last two years. In 1876 Hopkins University instituted America’s first graduate school for advanced study. In general, American education began to respond to the complexities54 of the industrial age and the need for a new focus in education.
48.One factor, repeatedly emphasized in the passage, is that .
A．technological changes demanded more vocational training
B．teaching methods were also changing
C．higher education also responded to the need for more different education
D．education was forced to meet new social changes
49.Literacy became more essential because .
A．American public education was far from enough
B．American society was growing more complex
C．the public was concerned about secondary education
D．far fewer subjects were introduced into the school curriculum

II.READING COMPREHENSION
In this part there are 4 reading passages followed by 20 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best answer or the best choice to complete the statement and write the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points, 2 points each)
Passage 1
When you’re negotiating with someone, listen for the messages that he or she might be sending to you. For example, the word “difficult” does not mean the same as impossible. Imagine you’re staying in a hotel, and you want to change your room. The manager’s answer of,“That would be very difficult, sir”,does not mean that he is saying “no.” It just means that he wants to know what you are prepared to offer him in return for the change of room.
If you are buying a new car, and want to pay less than the price being asked, then the salesman’s comment, “I’m sorry, but we never negotiate on the price”, means that they do negotiate on other things, like the delivery time, or the “extra” that might be available as part of the purchase. In the same car showroom, if the salesman says, “Sorry, I can’t negotiate prices”, then your response should be to ask who can. The message the salesman is sending suggests that his boss is the one you need to be talking to.
In all of these situations, the message is never communicated in clear terms. In any negotiation15, the two “players” wish to get as much out of it as they can, of course. In the three examples above, the salesmen and the hotel manager are hoping that you will accept their price or conditions—but their “messages” make it clear that there may be room for movement and compromise. In a successful negotiation, the two sides move towards each other and reach agreement on conditions that satisfy both sides.

A．you can change the room if you find some excuse

Passage 2
Following football hero O.J.Simpson’s arrest in June 1994 for the murder of his ex-wife and one of her friends, Newsweek and Time magazines ran the same police mug shot of Simpson on their covers. Newweek’s version was a straight reproduction. Time electronically manipulated the photo to darken it and achieve a gloomy and threatening look that emphasized Simpson’s unshaven cheeks and African-American skin color. The alteration17 offended many readers and raised an increasingly familiar question: In an age of computer-controlled images, can anyone still trust a photograph?
Altering a digitized image(数码技术相片), as Time did for its cover, has been one of the fastest-growing, most far-reaching, and most controversial(有争议的) techniques in contemporary photography. With this method a photograph is scanned(扫描), digitized (converted into a set of numeric values), and entered into a computer from which the operator can control the image almost in any way imaginable: add, delete, or change the position of visual elements; modify tones and colors; create montages; combine photographs; and even create entirely18 imaginary scenes. The digitized image can be stored in a data base, output as a print(底片) or transparency(透明胶片), or converted for video-screen display.
Electronic image manipulation arrived in force in the 1980s with a new type of computers that cost on the order of $500,000 or more and occupied and entire room. More compact and far less expensive desktop19 systems soon appeared, capable of, at least, limited image control and available at chain-store prices.
The ever-rising flood of digitized visual information may not, as some critics fear, fatally destroy the certainty of photographic evidence. Yet many observers agree that both suppliers and consumers of photographic information must exercise greater care than before to tell fact from falsehood in the images they use.
26.Which of the following magazines was accused of distorting the murderer’s photograph by many readers?
A．Time. B．Newsweek.
C．Washington Post. D．Not mentioned in the passage
27.Nowadays, electronic image alterations20 are .
A．unbearably21 expensive
B．more expensive in the States
C．only available in chain stores
D．far less expensive than before
28.The digitized alteration technique is .
A．developing with great care
B．very capable and developing rapidly
C．strongly criticized due to its easy access
D．fatal in destroying the certainty of photographic evidence
29.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A．With digitized alteration techniques, a photograph may be scanned, digitized and altered.
B．With digitized alteration techniques, the digitized images can be stored in a data base or transformed for video-screen display.
C．With digitized alteration techniques, both suppliers and consumers of photographic information are able to tell fact from falsehood in the image they use.
D．With digitized alteration techniques, it is possible for the computer operators to control the image almost in any conceivable way.
30.What is the author’s attitude toward the technique of digitized image manipulation?
A．Critical. B．Objective.
C．Indifferent. D．Supportive.
Passage 3
The importance of symbols as a source of cultural diversity can be seen in the dress codes and hairstyles of different societies. In most situations, the symbolism of clothing and hairstyles communicates different messages ranging from political beliefs to identification with specific ethnic22 or religious groups. The tartan(格子呢) of a Scottish clan23, the black leather jacket and long hair of a motorcycle gang member in the United States, and the veil of an Islamic woman in Saudi Arabia provide a symbolic24 vocabulary that creates cultural diversity.
Many examples of clothing styles could be used to illustrate25 how symbols are used to produce cultural diversity. Consider, for instance, changing dress codes in the United States. During the 1960s, many young people wore jeans, sandals, and beads26 to symbolize27 their rebellion against what they conceived as the conformist inclinations28 of American society. By the 1980s, many of the same people were wearing “power suits” as they sought to advance up the corporate29 ladder.
An example of how hairstyles can create meaningful symbolic codes can be seen in a group known as the Rastafarians(sometimes known as Rastas or Rastaman) of Jamaica. The majority of the people of Jamaica are of African descent. During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, they were brought to Jamaica by European slave traders to work on plantations30. The Rastafarians are a specific religious group within Jamaica who believe that Haile Selassie(1892-1975), the former emperor of Ethiopia, whose original name was Ras Tafari, was the black Messiah who appeared in the flesh for the redemption of all blacks exiled in the world of white oppression. Rastafarian religion fuses Old Testament31 teachings, Christian32 mysticism, and Afro-Jamaican religious beliefs. The Rastafarian movement originated as a consequence of harsh economic, political, and living conditions in the slums of Jamaica.
In the 1950s, during the early phase of the Rastafarian movement, some male members began to grow their hair in “locks” or “dreadlocks” to symbolize their religious and political commitments. This hairstyle became well known in Western society through reggae(强节奏黑人音乐) music and Rasta musicians such as the late Bob Marley. Rastafarians derive33 the symbolism of the dreadlock hairstyle of the Rastafarians from the Bible. They view the unshaven man as the natural man and invoke34 Samson as one of the most important figures in the Bible. Dreadlocks also reflect a dominant35 symbol within the Rastafarian movement, the lion, which is associated with Haile Selassie, one of whose titles was the “Conquering Lion of Judah(犹大).”To simulate the spirit of the lion, some Rastas do not cut their hair, sometimes growing their locks 20 inches or more.
Thus, to a great extent, culture consists of a network of symbolic codes that enhance values, beliefs, worldviews, and ideologies36 within a society, Humans go to a great length to create symbols that provide meaning for individuals and groups. These symbolic meanings are a powerful source of cultural diversity.
31.What is the main idea of this selection?
A．Hairstyles and dress codes identify political beliefs in diverse societies.
B．The Rastafarian movement symbolized37 a religious and political commitment.
C．Symbols provide meaning and a satisfaction of biological needs in society.
D．Hairstyles and dress codes can be important symbols of cultural diversity in different societies.
32.The author uses the examples of the Scottish tartan, the motorcycle jacket, and the Islamic veil to show .
A．the political power of dress codes in different societies
B．the diversity of clothing styles throughout the world
C．dress codes that symbolize different ethnic and religious groups
D．the resistance to change of culturally different groups
33.The author suggests that the young people wearing jeans in the 1960s wore “power suits” in the 1980s because .
A．styles changed B．the American government changed
C．their attitudes and goals changed D．both outfits38 symbolized rebellion
34.All of the following are true of the Rastafarians EXCEPT .
A．they believe that Emperor Haile Selassie was the black Messiah
B．they are the original natives of Jamaica
C．they are a religious group with political commitments
D．they formed as a result of harsh living conditions in Jamaica
35.The Rastafarian movement began .
A．at the beginning of the nineteenth century
B．around the middle of the twentieth century
C．before European slave traders arrived
D．in the early eighteenth century
Passage 4
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in identically the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as sacred texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic39 impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. Aggressive, destructive, sadistic(虐待狂的) impulses every child has and, on the whole, their symbolic verbal discharge seem to be rather a safety valve than an incitement40 to overt41 action. As to fears, there are , I think, well-authenticated cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar42 that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of madmen attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted43 girlfriend.
No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane44 child has ever believed that it was.
36.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is .
A．repeated without variation B．treated with respect
C．adapted by the parent D．set in the present
37.Fairy stories are a means by which children’s impulses may be .
A．beneficially channeled B．given a destructive tendency
C．held back until maturity45 D．effectively suppressed
38.According to the passage great fear can be stimulated46 in a child when the story is .
A．in a realistic setting B．heard for the first time
C．repeated too often D．dramatically told
39.The advantage claimed for repeating a fairy story to young children is that it .
A．makes them come to terms with their fears
B．develops their power of memory
C．convinces them there is nothing to be afraid of
D．encourages them not to have ridiculous beliefs
40.The author’s mentioning of broomsticks and telephones is meant to suggest that .
A．fairy stories are still being made up
B．there might be confusion about different kinds of truth
C．people try to modernize47 old fairy stories
D．there is more concern for children’s fears nowadays

Passage 1
When we call someone a pig or a swine, we do not mean it as a compliment. But pigs do not deserve to be used as a symbol for an insult. They are probably not as dirty as they are made out to be. According to one pig keeper, swine are very clean when allowed to live in a clean environment. He feels pigs are usually dirty simply because their keepers don’t clean their pens. In any case, no one has proven that the pig that wallows in mud prefers that to a cool bath. Furthermore, pigs are smarter than most wallows in mud prefers that to a cool bath. Furthermore, pigs are smarter than most people think. Many farmers, for example, have observed that pigs frequently undo48 complicated bolts on gates in search of adventure or romance. So the next time you call someone a pig, perhaps he or she ought to be someone you wish to praise.
41.This passage deals with .
A．the reasons why pigs are dirty
B．people’s wrong perceptions of pigs
C．how to insult or compliment people
D．why people like to keep pigs
42.One pig keeper feels that pigs will stay clean if they are .
A．given cool baths every day
B．praised from time to time
C．kept in a clean environment
D．allowed to seek adventure or romance
43.The detail that pigs “can undo complicated bolts on gates” supports the opinion that .
A．pigs sometimes can be adventurous
B．pigs are generally misunderstood by people
C．pigs are also mischievous49 and romantic
D．pigs are smarter than most people think
Passage 2
The large, gleaming refrigerator is the focal point of most American kitchens. It holds enough food to last many days. It is cold enough to preserve that food well. Its advantages are clear. But that big refrigerator has its drawbacks as well, although they are not usually recognized. First of all, the large refrigerator encourages the hoarding50 of food, obesity51 and other eating problems. Also, it has destroyed the pleasant custom, still common in Europe, of going to market each day. Picking out one’s fresh produce daily while chatting with friends and neighbors is no longer a part of our lives. In addition, people’s desire to buy huge amounts of groceries just a few times a month has encouraged the growth of supermarkets and destroyed local grocery stores. Another victim of the giant refrigerator has been small local farmers, who can’t compete against the mega-producers favored by the supermarkets.
44.According to the passage, which of the following is regarded by the author as one of the victims of the “giant refrigerator”?
A．The supermarkets. B．The local grocery stores.
C．The American kitchens D．The mega-producers
45.From this passage, you could infer that many Europeans .
A．are more economical shoppers than Americans
B．are better cooks
C．enjoy eating more
D．don’t have “giant” refrigerators
46.The author’s tone in this passage is mainly .
A．cheerful B．depressing
C．critical D．optimistic
47.The passage mainly deals with .
A．the advantages of shopping patterns in Europe
B．disadvantages and advantages of large refrigerators
C．fresh, healthy produce and daily meeting with friends
D．wonderful modern kitchen appliances
Passage 3
Urbanization and industrialization demanded new directions in education. Public education, once a dream, now becomes a reality. Education was forced to meet new social changes. American society was getting much more complex; literacy became more essential. Secondary education, which had been almost totally in the hands of private individuals up to the time of the Civil War, gradually became a public concern. By the early 1900s there were over 7000 high schools, totaling an enrollment52 of over 1 million. Technological53 changes demand more vocational training. Subjects such as bookkeeping, typing, agriculture, woodworking, and metalworking were introduced into the curriculum. American education finally was becoming universal.
Higher education also responded to the need for more and different education. The Morril Act of 1862 established state land grant colleges that taught agricultural methods and vocational subjects. While curriculums included a large number of required courses during the first two years of college, more elective subjects were added during the last two years. In 1876 Hopkins University instituted America’s first graduate school for advanced study. In general, American education began to respond to the complexities54 of the industrial age and the need for a new focus in education.
48.One factor, repeatedly emphasized in the passage, is that .
A．technological changes demanded more vocational training
B．teaching methods were also changing
C．higher education also responded to the need for more different education
D．education was forced to meet new social changes
49.Literacy became more essential because .
A．American public education was far from enough
B．American society was growing more complex
C．the public was concerned about secondary education
D．far fewer subjects were introduced into the school curriculum
50.In the last paragraph of the passage, the word “instituted” means .
A．set up B．provided
C．set forth55 D．prepared
