Read the two passages and answer the questions. (10 points)
Passage 1
A century ago, the overwhelming majority of people in developing countries worked with their hands: on farms, in domestic service, in small craft shops and ( at that time still a small minority) in factories. Fifty years later, the proportion of manual workers in the American labor force had dropped to around half, and factory workers had become the largest single section of the workforce, making up 35% of the total. Now, another 50 years later, fewer than a quarter of American workers make their living from manual jobs. Factory workers still account for the majority of the manual workers, but their share of the total workforce is down to around 15%-－more or less back to what it had been 100 years earlier.
Of all the big developed countries, America now has the smallest proportion of factory workers in its labor force. Britain is not far behind. In Japan and Germany, their share is still around a quarter, but it is shrinking steadily. To some extent this is a matter of definition. Data-processing employees or a manufacturing firm, such as the Ford Motor Company, are counted as employed in manufacturing, but when Ford out-sources its data processing, the same people doing exactly the same work are instantly redefined as service workers. However, too much should be made of this. Many studies in manufacturing businesses have shown that the decline in the number of people who actually work in the plant is roughly the same as the shrinkage reported in the national figures.
51. The proportion of factory workers in the workforce a century ago was around-------------
A. 15% B. 50% C. 35% d. 85%
52. It can be inferred from this passage that-------------------
A. most people in developed countries work with their hands.
B. workers in American manufacturing are not defined manual workers.
C. There are actually fewer factory workers in American industry than has not been reported.
D. The proportion of factory workers is seen as a measure of a nation’s economy.
53. The number of factory workers in other developed countries--------------.
A. is on the rise B. is decreasing gradually
C. has remained unchanged D. will surpass that of farm laborers
54. “Service workers” ( in line 8, paragraph 2) most probably refers to--------------.
A. manual workers in factories
B. those who make their living other than by manual work
C. farm laborers D. craftsmen in workshops
55. Which of the following statements best summarized the main idea of the passage?
A. Manual workers’ contribution to capitalist development
B. Today’s conditions for American factory workers
C. Evolutions in labor force over a century in developed countries
D. Working people in developed countries
Passage 2
Western civilization arose in the Near East and spread eventually to North America and other continents. For two thousand years, however, it had been intimately associated with Europe. A mere peninsula of Asia, Europe is, except for Australia, the smallest of the continents. Its population, ever counting offshoots overseas, has never been more than a minority of mankind. Yet it has played a towering role in the world. The extraordinary length and irregularity of its coastline－a veritable lacework of bays, inlets, channels, and internal seas－and a rich system of riverways brought Europeans close to one another and gave them access to the rest of the world. Although it is situated in the same latitudes as Canada, Europe has a moderate climate and a fairly regular rainfall. The resources of the continent are sufficiently modest to exact effort and forethought and sufficiency ample to reward them. They have neither the luxuriance that makes man lazy and improvident nor the barrenness that makes him niggardly and takes away his hope.
56. The main theme of this passage is that------.
A. Western civilization arose in the Near East
B. Conditions in Europe favored the growth of Western civilization

C. Asia and Europe are the two smallest continents.

58. Which of the following was not mentioned as one of Europe’s qualities?
A. Conditions were good for shipping
B. Resources were neither too plentiful nor to scarce
C. Western civilization arose in the Near East
D. The climate was not severe
59. The passage implies that--------does not have a moderate climate.

C. the people live in luxury
D. the government has a strong but fair leader

Cultural shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all the familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. These signs include a great many ways with which we are familiar in the situation of daily life: when to shake hands, how to go shopping, when to accept and when to refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not.
When a person is suffering from cultural shock, there may appear some important symptoms. First he rejects the new environment that causes the shock. He grumbles about the host country and its people. Another symptom of cultural shock is regression. The home environment suddenly takes on a tremendous importance. To him everything there becomes irrationally glorified. All the difficulties and problems are forgotten and only the good things back home are remembered. There are also some other symptoms of cultural shock, such as excessive washing of the hands, excessive concern over drinking water, food dishes and bedding, fear of physical contact with attendants, the absent –minded stare, a feeling of helplessness and a desire for dependence on long-term residents of one’s own nationality.
