Part II Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 reading 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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single through the canter.

Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage.

Corporations as a group offer a variety of jobs. Most large companies send people to colleges to interview graduating students with the required academic training. A large university may have more than 500 companies a year knocking on its doors. Big firms are your best place for a job because their normal growth, employee retirements, and turnover (缺补工人数）create thousands of jobs nationwide each year.
Corporations, however, illustrate the rule that the biggest isn"t always the best. Many small firms with just a few hundred employees have positions that may correspond with your profession goal, too. Such firms may not have the time, money, or need to send people around to your college; you"ll probably have to contact them yourself either directly or through an employment agency. Don"t ignore these little companies. Their salaries are usually competitive and the chances for advancement and recognition even stronger than those of a big firm. You could become a big fish in a small pond, reaching a high level position more quickly than you had climbed the more competitive ladder of a corporate giant.
For example, a small company may need a bright engineering accounting（会计学）or management graduate who would report directly to the senior vice-president of engineering, the company controller, or the general manager. In larger firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar in-depth experience. In addition responsibilities may come faster in a small firm with less specialization and fewer lower-level employees to receive delegated (授予的）authority.

31. The purpose of the passage is _______.
A. to define corporations and firms
B. to show the relation between firms and colleges
C. to criticize large firms
D. to give a description of corporations for college students

32. Which of the following is NOT TRUE for large corporation? _____

D. their sizes normally grow.

33. The word "Their" (Line 6, Para. 2) refer to _____.
A. corporations
B. graduating students
C. small firms
D. employers

34. Which of the following is TRUE of small firms?
A. it may be unnecessary for them to send people to college.
B. their employees maybe promoted more quickly.
C. they will not offer positions which you demand.
D. they are unwillingly to send people to college.

35. With whom is the passage most probably concerned?

B. employers.
C. employees.
D. engineers

Questions 36-40 are based on the following passage.

Here in the United States, before agriculture activities destroyed the natural balance,
there were great migrations of Rocky Mountain locusts (蝗虫）(Melanoplus spretus). Great migrating hordes of these insects once darkened the skies on the plains east of the Rockies where crops were often destroyed; the worst years were those from 1874 to 1877. One of
these migration swarms was estimated to contain 124 billion locusts. During another migration in Nebraska it was estimated that the swarm of locusts averaged half a mile high and was
100 miles wide and 300 miles long. Usually, these swarms take off from the ground against
the wind, but, once airborne, they turn and fly with it. Warm convection currents help to lift them, often to great height. During the great locust plagues the situation in Nebraska became so serious that the original state constitution had to be rewritten to take care of
the economic problems. The new document was known as " The Grasshopper Constitution." It
is now believed that these locusts were a migratory form or phase of the lesser migratory locust, which is still common there. In this respect, the North American migratory locusts resemble their African relatives. In both regions, the migratory forms arise as a result of crowding and climatic factors. Migratory forms are apparently natural adaptations which bring about dispersal when locust populations become too crowded.

Fortunately for our farmers, the migratory form -- the so-called spretus species -- no longer seems to occur regularly, although there was a serious outbreak as late as 1938 in
Midwestern United States and Canada. Actually, there is no reason why the destructive migratory form might not again appear if circumstance should become favorable.

36. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. the Kinds of Locusts
B. the life style of Locusts
C. Migratory Locusts in the United States
D. the life Cycle of Locusts

37. According to the passage, the worst destruction by locusts in the plains area east of the Rockies occurred during the ______.
A. eighteenth century
B. early nineteenth century
C. late nineteenth century
D. twentieth century

38. It can be inferred from the passage that the state constitution of Nebraska was rewritten in order to ______.
A. provide for a regular census of the locust population
B. make the constitution more understandable to the public
C. encourage farmers to leave the estate
D. solve difficulties that resulted from loss of crops

39. According to the passage North American and African migratory locusts are similar in that ______.
A. their destruction activities occur only in plain areas
B. they always travel toward mountainous regions
C. they are both mentioned [in state constitutions
D. climates affect their development

40. What does "horde" (line3, Para. 1) probably mean?
A. tribe
B. large group
C. horizon
D. nestle

Questions 41-45 are based on the following passage.

Did you know that all human beings have a "comfort zone" regulating the distance they
stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people
of different cultures.
Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they
warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is
nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.
The difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart
even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes!
Although North Americans have a relatively wide "comfort zone" for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands-not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person"s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around
him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child"s head in affection; they readily take someone"s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people- especially
those from Asia or the Moslem countries-such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left hand. ( The left hand carries no special significance
in the US. Many Americans are simply left handed and use that hand more.)

41. The longer distance between two Asian speakers subtly show ______.
A. hate
B. love
C. respect
D. insult

42. What is NOT TRUE about "comfort zone"?
A. it means the distance two speakers stand from each other.
B. it varies according to speakers from different nations.
C. it is not only used to show respect.
D. it measures 21 inches.

43. In terms of bodily distance, North Americans ______.
A. are similar to South Americans
B. stand farthest apart
C. feel ill at ease when too close
D. move nearer during conversation

44. It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded bus, a Frenchman will _______.
A. behave the same as Asian people
B. behave the same as South Americans
C. try his best to leave
D. make no particular effort to distance himself

45. When American tell a joke, they often _____.
A. put people on the head
B. give people a hug
C. dig people in the ribs
D. touch people on the arm

Questions 46-50 are based on the following passage.

Classic cars provoke strong feeling, and enthusiasts argue passionately (热情地） over the virtues and drawbacks of the various models. Christ Thomas, managing director of the Jebsen Motor Group, freely admits that the restored cars he is selling are definitely an emotional purchase.
Betraying some of that emotion, he glanced fondly at the kaan-restore 356 model, saying:"I"m in love with that car; you mentally cradle it."
Thomas is not alone in offering his affections. There is a growing band of classic car owners nowadays. Tom Surrency, chairman of the classic Car Club, says," The variety is amazing. However, the most popular models are British MG sports cars, Italian Alfa Romeos, Porsches, and E-type Jaguars."
Around a dozen garages are geared to look after these cars. Surrency says it is fortunate in having particularly good panel beaters and specialists in carpet and upholstery work.
The main problem is now the battle against rust. The combination of high humidity levels and salt from the sea is a garage for storage.
Having owned classic cars over a period of some 15 years, I can confidently report that they offer a significant alternative to mere transportation. Driving a classic car is the road pleasure.

46. What is NOT among the most popular models?
A. E-type Jaguars
B. Italian Alfa Romeos
C. Jebsen Motor
D. Porsches

49. How can a man own a classic car?
A. as long as he has enough money.
B. if he is an enthusiastic lover of classic cars.
C. providing that he owns a garage for storing a classic cars.
D. all of the above.

50. The main purpose of the writer of this passage is to ______.

If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank.

When you are facing with a large audience, you may get
81.

nervous, you may forget what you want to say, you may stumble
over words, you may talk too long, and you may bore your
audience. Later you think, "Thank goodness, it"s over. I"m just
no good in public speaking. I hope I never have to do that
82.

again."
Cheer up! It doesn"t have to be that bad. Here is some
83.

simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. First of all, it
is important to do your homework. Find out everything you can
about your subject. And, at the same time, find out much as you
84.

can about your audience. Who are they? What do they know
about your subject?
Ask you the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion?
85.

Why are you speaking? Are you introducing another speaker?
Giving a lecture? Or convince someone? There are many possible
86.

speaking roles, and each one has its own special characteristics.
Make sure you know by which category you fit. Don"t spoil your
87.

speech by confusing one speaking role to another.
88.

Let us suppose that you have asked to introduce the main
89.

speaker at a conference. First, find out the most important and
interesting things about the speaker. Then, summarize this
information in a few remarks. It is all right to tell a joke or an
anecdote if it is in good taste and will not embarrass the speaker.

Part III short answer question
Directions: in this part, there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).
The Kosovo Conflict
The protests last week outside the American, British and German embassies in Macedonia are the first public manifestation (表现) of a potential anti-Western backlash in the Balkans.
Avoiding a wider Balkan war was one of the reasons which NATO gave for its action against Yugoslavia. The fears are real. But, at least for the moment, they remain fairly slim.(渺茫)
The war in Kosovo (科索沃) will get much worse. But it will be contained, and the Balkans will not go up in smoke. This is about the only good regional story for many months.
Macedonia is the most critical area. A former Yugoslav republic created on territory historically coveted by both Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, the Macedonians are still fighting for international recognition of their name, flag and national identity.
Their disputes have not been solved. but the critical security concerns have at least been alleviated.
Greece, which objects to many Macedonian claims of statehood, has accepted an international mediation.
And Bulgaria, which denied even the existence of a Macedonian nation, is now cooperating closely with its neighbor.
Macedonia also includes a large ethnic Albanian minority, which lives in compact masses right on the border of Kosovo and Albania itself.
When it comes to repressing the Albanians, therefore, the Macedonians and Serbs (塞族）are likely to be allies.
Some of the demonstrators outside Western embassies in the republic expressed their resentment against NATO, mainly because they fear an independent Kosovo.
But the republic also has a serious military presence of roughly 13,000 Alliance soldiers. President Milosevic (米洛舍维奇）has vaguely threatened to foment trouble there (the latest anti-Western demonstrations were by ethnic Serbs in Macedonia a small local community).
The chances are, however, that Yugoslavia will not meddle (干涉）too much in Macedonia, at least not at the moment, if only because Milosevic cannot afford to fight a war on two fronts, and any attack on NATO forces in Macedonia will involve ground fighting, precisely what the Yugoslav president wishes to avoid.

Questions:

96. One of the reasons which NATO gave for its action against Yugoslavia is

 

97. is about the only good regional story for many months.

98. The most critical area is

 

99. lives in compact masses on the border of Kosovo and Albania itself.

100. Some of the demonstrators outside western embassies in the republic resented NATO mainly because

They think it, offers the possibilities that human beings can breed excellent, varieties of plants and animals by making full use of high grade gene. Hence human beings can benefit a lot from it. While there, are some other people who hold different opinions about the, clone technique, because they think it is easily misused, which, will bring about a disaster. For example, if it is carried out on human beings, it will lead to moral confusion., Therefore, it is safe to say that the clone technique in itself, is innocent. but once it is misused, its destructive power will, be uncontrollable. However, I"m very pleased to read the reports that scientists are trying to breed clone animals to benefit people. So it is important that we apply the clone technology properly and make it benefit human beings.

Today, I"d like to mention interesting television program which will be shown off on Oct. 10. It"s about the brain. It"s a new public television show produced in New York City. The program will investigate how the brain functions and malfunctions. The interesting topic that will be discussed are dreaming memory and depression. These topics will be illustrated by using computer animations of the brain to make explanations easy to follow. The show is not for children. But don"t worry. It is not intended for scientists either. I think the program will be very helpful with work we are doing in class on the brain. I hope you"ll watch it. Remember it"s on Oct.10.
Questions:
14. Who is the speaker?
15. What will be the main purpose of the show?
16. Why should the program be easy to understand?
Passage Three
Questions 17-20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
Although I think the United States generally has an excellent system of transporting people between cities that are only a few hundred miles apart, a person commuting between Detroit and Chicago, or between san Francisco and Los Angeles, so-called strip cities, may spend only a relatively short time in the air while spending several hours getting to and from the airport. This situation makes flying almost as time-consuming as driving. Moreover, airplanes use a lot of their fuel just getting into the air. They simply are not fuel-efficient on short trips.
High-speed trains may be an answer. One fairly new proposal for such a train is for something called a "maglev", meaning a magnetically-levitated train.
Malevs will not actually ride on the tracks, but will fly above tracks that are magnetically activated. This will save wear and tear on the tracks. These trains will be able to go faster than one hundred fifty miles per hour. At that speed, conventional trains have trouble staying on the tracks. As you can see, maglevs offer exciting possibilities for the future.
Questions:
17. What is the main topic of the talk?
18. When are airplanes not fuel-efficient?
19. How does a maglev operate?
20. According to the speaker, what is one advantage of the maglev?
Section C ( Compound Dictation)
The roundhouse, for which I was bound, and where I was now to sleep and serve, stood some six feet above the decks, and considering the size of the brig, was of good dimensions. Inside were a fixed table and bench, and two berths, one for the captain and the other for the two mates, turn and turn about. It was all fitted with lockers from top to bottom, so as to stow away the officers" belongings and a part of the ship"s stores; there was a second storeroom underneath, which you entered by hatchway in the middle of the deck. Indeed, all the best of the meat and drink and the whole of the powder were collected in this place; and all the firearms, except the two pieces of brass ordnance, were set in a rack in the aftermost wall of the roundhouse. The most of the cutlasses were in another place.
A small window with a shutter on each side, and a skylight in the roof, gave it light by day; and after dark there was a lamp always burning. It was burning when I entered, not brightly, but enough to show Mr. Shuan sitting at the table, with the brandy bottle and a tin pannikin in front of him. He was a tall man, strongly made and very black; and he stared before him on the table like one stupid.
