PartIII Reading Comprehension

(35 minutes)

Directions: There are 4 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

line through the centre.

Passage One

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed

fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A

researcher was appointed to study the performance of

some top referees.

The researcher organized an experimental tournament

(锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during

which different referees were in charge.

Observers noted down the referees' errors, of which

there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost

23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.

The researcher then studied the videotapes to

analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found

that errors were more likely when the referees were

close to the incident. When the officials got it right,

they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action.

The average distance in the case of errors was 12

meters.The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.

There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed

of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for

errors was 4 meters per second.

If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants

to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on

the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep

up with the ball,the researcher argues.

He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees

should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up

with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.

51. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.

A) review the decisions of referees at the 1998

World Cup

B) analyse the causes of errors made by football referees

C) set a standard for football refereeing

52. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _______.

A) slightly above average B) higher than in the

1998 World Cup

C) quite unexpected D) as high as in a

standard match

53. The findings of the experiment show that _______.

A) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close

to the ball

B) the farther the referee is from the incident, the

fewer the errors

C) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely

will errors occur

D) errors are less likely when a referee stays in

one spot

54. The word "officials" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _______.

A) the researchers involved in the experiment

B) the inspectors of the football tournament

C) the referees of the football tournament

D) the observers at the site of the experiment

55. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?

A) The ideal retirement age for an experienced

football referee is 45.

B) Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.

C) A football referee should be as young and

energetic as possible.

D)An experienced football referee can do well even

when in poor physical condition.

Passage Two

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: While still in its early stages, welfare reform has

already been judged a great success in many states ?a at

least in getting people off welfare. It's estimated that

more than 2 million people have left the rolls since

1994.

In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens

County have been eut in half. But 70 percent of the

people who left in the past two years took jobs that

paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30

percent--twice the national average.

For advocates (代言人)for the poor, that's an

indication much more needs to be done.

"More people are getting jobs, but it's not making

their lives any better," says Kathy Lairn,a policy

analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Pricorities

in Washington.

A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found

that between 1995 and 1996,

a greater percentage of single, femalea2headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down. but for many, the fact that poor people are able to

support themselves almost as

well without government aid as they did with it is in

itself a huge victory.

"Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin (毒素) that was poisoning the family," says Robert Rector, a

welfarea2reform policy analyst. "The reform is changing

the moral climate in lowa2income communities. It's beginning to rebuild the work ethic (道德观),which is much more important."

Mr. Rector and others argued that once "the habit of dependency is cracked," then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.

56. From the passage, it can be seen that the author

_______.

A) believes the reform has reduced the government's burden

B) insists that welfare reform is doing little good

for the poor

C) is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare

reform

D) considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful

57. Why aren't people enjoying better lives when they

have jobs?

A) Because many families are divorced.

B) Because government aid is now rare.

C) Because their wages are low.

D) Because the cost of living is rising.

58. What is worth noting from the example of Athens

County is that _______.

A) greater efforts should be made to improve

people's living standards

B) 70 percent of the people there have been employed

for two years

C) 50 percent of the population no longer relies on

welfare

D) the living standards of most people are going

down

59. From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at

_______.

A) saving welfare funds

B) rebuilding the work ethic

C) providing more jobs

D) cutting government expenses

60. According to the passage, before the welfare reform

was carried out, _______.

A) the poverty rate was lower

B) average living standards were higher

C) the average worker was paid higher wages

D) the poor used to rely on government aid

Passage Three

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:

Americans are proud of their variety and

individuality, yet they love and respect few things more

than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator

operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are

uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first

is that in the eyes of most people they look more

professional than civilian (百姓的) Clothes. People have be

come conditioned to expect superior quality from a man

who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears

a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who

appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of agarage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier

way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a

waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step

out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They

save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is

their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.

Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.

61. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality _______.

A) still judge a man by his clothes

B) hold the uniform in such high regard

C) enjoy having a professional identity

D) will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform

62. People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform _______.

A) suggests quality work

B) discards his social identity

C) appears to be more practical

D) looks superior to a person in civilian clothes

63. The chief function of a uniform is to _______.

A) provide practical benefits to the wearer

B) make the wearer catch the public eye

C) inspire the wearer's confidence in himself

D) provide the wearer with a professional identity

64. According to the passage, people wearing uniforms _______.

A) are usually helpful

B) have little or no individual freedom

C) tend to lose their individuality

D) enjoy greater popularity

65. The best title for this passage would be _______.

A) Uniforms and Society

B) The Importance of Wearing a Uniform

C) Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform

D) Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms

Passage Four

Question 66 to 70 are based on the following passage: Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is

our tendency to give and receive support from one

another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.

Those of us with strong support systems appear

betterable to cope with major life

changes and daily hassles(困难). People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those

withou such ties.Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off(挡开) illness, and

the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.

First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us

know that they value us. Our self-respect is streng

thened when we feel accepted by others despite our

faults and difficulties. Second, other people often

provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with

others helps us to meet our social needs while at the

same time distracting(转移...注意力)us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support ?a financial aid, material resources, and needed services -- that reduces stress by helping us resolve

and cope with our problems.

66. Interpersonal relationships are important because

_______.

A) they are indispensable to people's social

weel-being

B) they waken people's desire to exchange resources

C) they help people to cope with life in the

information era

D) they can cure a range of illnesses such as heartdisease, etc.

67. Research shows that people's physical and mental health _______.

A) relies on the social welfare systems which

support them

B) has much to do with the amount of support they

get from others

C) depends on their ability to deal with daily

worries and troubles

D)is closely related to their strength for coping

with major changes in their lives

68. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word"cushions"(Line 1, Para.2)?

A) Adds up to. B) Does away with.

C) Lessens the effect of. D) Lays the

foundation for.

69. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of _______.

A) instrumental support B) informational

support

C) social companionship D) the

strengthening of self-respect

70. Social companionship is beneficial in that _______.

A) it helps strengthen our ties with relatives

B) it enables us to eliminate our faults and

mistakes

C) it makes our leisure-time activities more

enjoyable

D) it draws our attention away from our worries and troubles

Section B

Passage One

There are three groups of English learners; beginners, intermediate learners, and learners of

special English. Beginners need to learn the basics of English. Students who have reached an intermediate level benefit from learning general English skills. But what about students who want to lean specialist English for their work or professional life? Most students, who fit into this third group have a clear idea about what they want to lean. A bank clerk, for example, wants to u se this specialist vocabulary and technical terms of finance. But for teachers, deciding how to teach

specialist English is not always so easy. For a start,

the variety is enormous. Every field from airline pilots

to secretaries has its own vocabulary and technical terms. Teachers also need to have an up-to-date knowledge of the that specialist language, and not many teachers are exposed to working environments outside the classroom. These issues have influenced the way specialist English is taught in schools. This type of

course is usually known as English for Specific Purposes, or ESP and there isn't ESP courses for almost every area of professional and working life. In Britain,

for example, there are courses which teach English for doctors, lawyers, reporters, travel agents and people working in the hotel industry. By far, the most popular

ESP courses are for business English.

11. What is the characteristic of learners of special English?

12. Who needs ESP courses most?

13. What are the most popular ESP courses in Britain?

14. What is the speaker mainly talking about?

Passage Two

The first step to stop drug abuse is knowing why

people start to use drugs. The reasons people abuse

drugs are as different as people are from one to

another. but there seems to be one common thread: people seem to take drugs to changes the way they feel. They

want to feel better or feel happy or to feel nothing. Sometimes, they want to forget or to remember. People often feel better about themselves when they are under

the influence of drugs. But the effects don't last long. Drugs don't solve problems. They just postpone them. No matter how far drug s may take you, it's always around trip. After a while, people who miss drugs ma y feel

worse about themselves, and they they may use more drugs. If someone you know is using or abusing drugs,

you can help. The most important part you can pl ay is

to be there. You can let your friends know that you

care. You can listen a nd try to solve the problem

behind your friend's need to use drugs. Two people

together can often solve a problem that seems too big

for one person alone. Studies of heavy abusers in the

United States show that they felt unloved and unwanted.

They didn't have close friends to talk to. When you or

your friends take the time to care for each other,

you're all helping to stop drugs abuse. After all, what

is a friend for?

15. Why do some people abuse drugs?

16. According to the passage, what is the best way to

stop friends from abusing drugs?

17. What are the findings of the studies about heavy

drug users?

Passage Three

Bows and arrows, are one of man's oldest weapons.

They gave early man an effective weapon to kill his enemies. The ordinary bow or short bow as used by nearly all early people. This bow had limited power and short range. However, man overcame these faults by learning to track his targets at a close range. The long how was

most likely discovered when someone found out that a five-foot piece of wood made a better bow than a

three-food piece. Hundreds of thousands of these bows were made and used for three hundred years. However, not one is known to survive today. We believe that a force

of about one hundred pounds was needed to pull the string all the way back on a long bow. For a long time

the bow was just a bent stick and string. In fact, more changes have taken place in a bow in the past 25 years than in the last 7 centuries. Today, bow is forceful. It

is as exact as a gun. In addition, it requires little

strength to draw the string. Modern bows also have precise aiming devices. In indoor contest, perfect

As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots .

Colleges taking another look at value of merit-based aid Good grades and high tests scores still matter—a lot—to many colleges as they award financial aid. But with low-income students projected to make up an ever-larger share of the college-bound population in coming years, some schools are re-examining whether that aid, typically known as “merit aid”, is the most effective use of precious institutional dollars. George Washington University in Washington, D.C., for example, said last week that it would cut the value of its average merit scholarships by about one-third and reduce the number of recipients(接受者), pouring the savings, about $2.5 million, into need-based aid. Allegheny College in Meadville, Pa., made a similar decision three years ago. Now, Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y., says it will phase out merit scholarships altogether. No current merit-aid recipients will lose their scholarships, but need-based aid alone will be awarded beginning with students entering in fall 2008. Not all colleges offer merit aid; generally, the more selective a school, the less likely it is to do so. Harvard and Princeton, for example, offer generous need-based packages, but many families who don’t meet need eligibility(资格)have been willing to pay whatever they must for a big-name school. For small regional colleges that struggle just to fill seats, merit aid can be an important revenue-builder because many recipients still pay enough tuition dollars over and above the scholarship amount to keep the institution running. But for rankings-conscious schools in between, merit aid has served primarily as a tool to recruit top students and to improve their academic profits. “They’re trying to buy students,”says Skidmore College economist Sandy Baum. Studies show merit aid also tends to benefit disproportionately students who could afford to enroll without it. “As we look to the future, we see a more pressing need to invest in need-based aid,”says Monica Inzer, dean of admission and financial aid at Hamilton, which has offered merit scholarships for 10 years. During that time, it rose in US News & World Repor t’s ranking of the best liberal arts colleges, from 25 to 17. Merit aid, which benefited about 75 students a year, or about 4% of its student body, at a cost of about $ 1 million a year, “served us well,”Inzer says, but “to be
