Part II Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or statements. Choose the best answer to each question or decide T/F for each statement.

Passage One

In the United States, 30 percent of the adult population has a "weight problem". To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television.

Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.

Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.

The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.

Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

11. Scientific evidence shows overeating is the obvious cause of weight problem.

A) T

B) F

12. American people of the 1910s were thinner than today.

A) T

B) F

13. Several modem studies show that fatter people eat more on average than thinner people.

A) T

B) F

14. Studies show that fat people are less active than slim people.

A) T

B) F

15. Those who ran the most lost the greatest amount of body fat.

A) T

B) F

Passage Two

One way that scientists learn about man is by studying animals, such as mice and monkeys. The scientists in this laboratory are experimenting on mice. They are studying the relationship between diet and health. At this time, over one hundred experiments are being done in this laboratory.

In one of these experiments, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All three groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second group is eating two cups, and the third group of mice is eating three cups.

After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice. But they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years. Most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.

The second group of mice is normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years, not the three years or more of the thinner mice.

The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They are not very active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought - about a year and a half. But they aren't as healthy. They're sick more often than the other two groups.

16. The scientists in the laboratory are studying the relationship between the amount of food and

diet.

A) T

B) F

17. The first two groups are receiving the most fooD)

A) T

B) F

18. The first group is the thinnest because they do not have a healthy diet.

A) T

B) F

19. Normal mice usually live for two years.

A) T

B) F

20. The text tells us that mice that eat less and exercise more will live longer.

A) T

B) F

Passage Three

A few years ago it was common to speak of a generation gap between young people and their elders. Parents said that children did not respect and listen to them, while children said that their parents did not understand them at all. What had gone wrong? Why had the generation gap suddenly appeared? Actually, the generation gap has been around for a long time. Many people argue that it is built into every part of our society.

One important cause of the generation gap is the opportunity that young people have to choose their own ways of life. In a more traditional society, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents know and like, and often to continue the family jobs. In our society, young people often travel great distances for their education, move out of the family at an early age, marry or live with people whom their parents have never met, and choose jobs different from those of their parents.

In our society, parents often expect their children to do better than they did:to find better jobs, to make more money and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, that is another cause of the gap between them. Often, they discover that they have very little in common with each other.

Finally, the speed at which changes take place in our society is the third cause of the gap between the generations. In a traditional culture, senior people are valued for their knowledge, but in our society the knowledge of a lifetime may become out of date. The young and the old seem to live in two very different worlds, separated by different skills and abilities. No doubt, the generation gap will continue in American life for some time to come.

21.The first paragraph tells us that ________.

A) the problem of the generation gap draws much attention from people

B) it is out of date to talk about the generation gap

C) children and parents are trying to understand each other

D) it is very important for people to frequently communicate with each other

22.In a more traditional society, old people ________.

A) have their children respect and listen to them

B) do not care for their children at all

C) expect their children to rebel against them

D) do not live together with their children

23.In American society young people ________.

A) do not need to find jobs

B) marry people younger than them

C) have better education than their parents

D) leave home at an early age

24.Which of the following is NOT the cause of the generation gap?

A) Young people like to depend more on themselves.

B) Parents do not love their children dearly.

C) American society changes rapidly.

D) Parents expect too much of their children.

25.The main idea of the passage is ________.

A) that the generation gap needs considering

B) when the generation gap is necessary in American society

C) why the generation gap exists

D) how we can reduce the generation gap

Passage Four

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter of l ife or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

26. What is the main idea of this passage?

A) It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.

B) The role of time in social life over the world.

C) If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the

U.S.

D) Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.

27. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?

A) A matter of work.

B) A matter of life or death.

C) You want to see him or her.

D) You want to make an appointment with him or her.

28. Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?

A) at 7: 00 am. B) at 4:00 pm. C) at the midnight. D) at 4:00 am.

29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A) In the U.S.A guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party

is extended only three or four days before the party date.

B) There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about the

concept of time.

C) It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A.

D) Promptness is valued highly in American life.

30. From the passage we can safely infer that ________.

A) it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time

B) the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world

C) it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party

D) if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation
