[08:06.39]Reading Comprehension  (35 minute)

[08:05.39]Directions:There are 4 passage 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.

[08:04.39]Passage One

[08:03.39]Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

[08:02.39]The first thing people remember about failing a math is that it felt like sudden death.Whether the incident occurred while learning "work problems" in sixth grade,coping with equations in high school,or first confronting calculus 4 and statistics in college,failure came suddenly and in a very frightening way!If we assume that the curriculum was reasonable,and that the new idea was but the next in a series of learnable concepts,the feeling of utter defeat was simply not rational;yet"math anxious"college students and adults have revealed that no matter how much the teacher reassured 5 them,they could not overcome that feeling.A common myth about the nature of mathematical ability holds that one either has or does not have a mathematical mind.Mathematical imagination and an intuitive grasp of mathematical principles may well be needed to do advanced research,but why should people who can do college-level work in other subjects not be able to do college-level math as well?Rates of learning may vary.Competency under time pressure may differ.Certainly low self-esteem will get in the way.But where is the evidence that a student needs a "mathematical mind"in order to succeed at learning math?Consider the effects of this mythology 6.Since only a few people are supposed to have this mathematical mind,part of what makes us so passive in the face of our difficulties in learning mathematics is that we suspect all the while we may not be one of"them,"and we spend our time waiting to find out when our nonmathematical minds will be exposed.Since our limit will eventually be reached,we see no point in being methodical or in attending to detail.We are grateful when we survive fractions,word problems,or geometry.If that certain moment of failure hasn't struck yet,it is only temporarily postponed 9.Parents,especially parents of girls,often expect their children to be nonmathematical.Parents are either poor at math or they failed themselves.In either case they unwillingly 10 foster the idea a mathematical mind is something one either has or does not have.

[08:01.39]21.According to the passage,who are likely to experience math anxiety?  A.Primary school students.  B.High school students.  C.College students.  D.All of the above.

[08:00.39]22.How would"math anxious"students probably react to their failure at math?  A.Slow down their lessons.  B.Ask more questions than necessary.  C.Go to the teacher for reassurance 11.  D.Panic and accept defeat.

[07:59.39]23.Which of the following statements if True about"math anxious"students?  A.They realize that the feeling of utter defeat is irrational 12.  B.They assume that the curriculum is not reasonable.  C.They feel the new ideas are too difficult for them to learn.  D.They regard the new ideas as only something to be encountered next in a series of learnable concepts.

[07:58.39]24.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the factors affecting students performance at college level math?  A.Rates of learning.  B.Competence 13 under time pressure.  C.Self-esteem.  D.Parents'attitudes towards their mathematics lessons.

[07:57.39]25.The author believes that_.  A.a person either has or does not have a mathematical mind  B.a student needs a mathematical mind to succeed at learning college level math  C.people doing advanced research in math usually have what is called a "mathematical mind"  D.parents who are poor at math themselves are more likely to expect their children to be nonmathematical

[07:56.39]Passage Two

[07:55.39]Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

[07:54.39]The decline of traditional religion in the West has not removed the need for men and women to find a deeper meaning behind existence.Why is the world the way it is and how do we,as conscious individuals,fit into the great scheme?There is a growing feeling that science,especially what is known as the new physics,can provide answers where religion remains 14 vague and faltering 15.Many people in search of a meaning to their lives are finding enlightenment in the revolutionary developments at the frontiers of science.Much to the bewilderment of professional scientists,quasi-religious cults 16 are being formed around such unlikely topics as quantum physics,space-time relativity,black holes and the big bang.How can physics,with its reputation for cold precision and objective materialism 17,provide such fertile soil for the mystical?The truth is that the spirit of scientific enquiry has undergone a remarkable 18 transformation 19 over the past 50 years.The twin revolutions of the theory of relativity,with its space-warps and timewarps,and the quantum theory,which reveals the shadowy and unsubstantial nature of atoms,have demolished 20 the classical image of a clockwork universe slavishly unfolding along a predetermined pathway.Replacing this sterile 21 mechanism 22 is a world full of shifting indeterminism and subtle interactions which have no counterpart in daily experience.To study the new physics is to embark 23 on a journey of wonderment and paradox,to glimpse the universe in a novel perspective,in which subject and object,mind and matter,force and field,become intertwined.Even the creation of the universe itself has fallen within the province of scientific enquiry.The new cosmology provides,for the first time,a consistent picture of how all physical structures,including space and time,came to exist out of nothing.We are moving towards an understanding in which matter,force,order and creation are unified 24 into a single descriptive theme.Many of us who work in fundamental physics are deeply impressed by the harmony and order which pervades 25 the physical world.To me the laws of the universe,from quarks to quasars,dovetail together so felicitously 26 that the impression there is something behind it all seems overwhelming.The laws of physics are so remarkably 27 clever they can surely only be a manifestation 28 of genius.

[07:53.39]26.The author says people nowadays find that traditional religion is_.  A.a form of reassurance  B.inadequate 29 to their needs  C.responding to scientific progress  D.developing in strange ways

[07:52.39]27.Scientists find the new cults bewildering because they are_ .  A.too reactionary 30  B.based on false evidence  C.derived 31 from inappropriate sources  D.too subjective 32

[07:51.39]28.Which phrase in paragraph 3 suggests that the universe is like a machine?  A.Cold precision and objective materialism.  B.The shadowy and unsubstantial nature of atoms.  C.Slavishly unfolding along a predetermined pathway.  D.Shifting indeterminism and subtle interactions.

[07:50.39]29.The new physics is exciting because it_ .  A.offers a comprehensive explanation of the universe.  B.proves the existence of a ruling intelligence  C.incorporates the work of men of genius  D.makes scientific theorizing easier to understand

[07:49.39]30.The author of this passage is a_.  A.minister of religion  B.research scientist  C.science fiction writer  D.journalist

[07:48.39]Passage Three

[07:47.39]Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

[07:46.39]Language is,and should be,a living thing,constantly enriched with new words and forms of expression.But there is a vital distinction between good developments,which add to the language,enabling us to say things we could not say before,and bad developments,which subtract from the language by rendering 33 it less precise.A vivacious,colorful use of words is not to be confused with mere 34 slovenliness 35.The kind of slovenliness in which some professionals deliberately 36 indulge is perhaps akin 37 to the cult 7 of the unfinished work,which had eroded 38 most of the arts in our time.And the true answer to it is the same-that art is enhanced,not hindered,by discipline.You cannot carve satisfactorily in butter.The corruption 39 of written English has been accompanied by an even sharper decline in the standard of spoken English.We speak very much less well than was common among educated Englishmen a generation or two ago.The modern theatre has played a haneful part in dimming our appreciation 40 of language.Instead of the immensely articulate dialogue of,for examplem,Shaw(who was also very insistent 41 on good pronunciation),audiences are now subjected to streams of barely literate 42 trivia,often designed,only too well to exhibit"lack of communication",and larded with the obscenities and grammatical errors of the intellectually impoverished 43.Emily Post once advised her reader:"The theatre is the best possible place to hear correctly-enunciated speech".Alas,no more.One young actress was recently reported to be taking lessons in how to speak badly,so that she should fit in better.But the BBC is the worst traitor 44.After years of very successfully helping 45 to raise the general standard of spoken English,it suddenly went into reverse.As the head of the Pronunciation Unit Covly put it,"In the 1960's the BBC opened the field to a much wider range of speakers".To hear a BBC disc jockey talking to the latest apelike pop idol 46 is a truly shocking experience of verbal squalor.And the prospect 2 seems to be of even worse to come.School teachers are actively 47 encouraged to ignore little Johnny's incoherent grammar,atrocious spelling and haphazard 48 punctuation,because worrying about such things might inhibit 49 his creative genius.

[07:45.39]31.The writer relates linguistic 50 slovenliness to tendencies in the arts today,in that both_.  A.occasionally aim at a certain fluidity  B.from time to time show a regard for the finishing touch  C.appear to shun 51 perfection  D.may make use of economical short cuts

[07:44.39]32.What is it claimed has happened to spoken English?  A.Writing problems are not reflected in poor oral expression.  B.On the whole,people don't worry if they make mistakes.  C.Educated Englishmen now are less communicative than they were in the past.  D.Like written English,it has undergone a noticeable change for the better.

[07:43.39]33.Many modern plays,the author finds,frequently contain speech which_.  A.is incoherent and linguistically 52 objectionable  B.is far too ungrammatical for most people to follow  C.unintentionally shocks the reader  D.deliberately tries to hide the author's intellectual inadequacies

[07:42.39]34.Teachers are likely to overlook linguistic lapses 53 in their pupils since_.  A.they find that children no longer respond to this kind of discipline nowadays  B.they fear the children may become less coherent  C.more importance is now attached to oral expression  D.the children may be discouraged from giving vent 8 to their own ideas

[07:41.39]35.What do you deduce from the writer's attitude to the developments in English?He thinks that_.  A.the English are more lax linguistically,and he strongly condemns 54 this  B.the English are more relaxed,and he tends to be complacent 55 about the changes  C.there is little to hope for,except in the attitude of school teachers  D.there is some cause for satisfaction,even in the attitudes of school teachers

[07:40.39]Passage Four

[07:39.39]Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

[07:38.39]Petroleum 56 products,such as gasoline,kerosine,home heating oil,residual 57 fuel oil,and lubricating oils,come from one source-crude oil found below the earth's surface,as well as under large bodies of water,from a few hundred feet below the surface to as deep as 25,000 feet into the earth's interior.Sometimes crude oil is secured by drilling a hole through the earth,but more dry holes are drilled than those producing oil.Pressure at the source or pumping forces crude oil to the surface.Crude oil wells flow at varying rates,from ten to thousands of barrels per hour.Petroleum products are always measured in 42-gallon barrels.Petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance:thin,thick,transparent or opaque,but regardless,their chemical composition is made up of only two elements:carbon and hydrogen,which form compounds called hydrocarbons 59.Other chemical elements found in union with in union with the hydrocarbons are few and are classified as impurities 60.Trace elements are also found,but these are of such minute quantities that they are disregarded.The combination of carbon and hydrogen forms many thousands of compounds with are possible because of the various positions and joinings of these two atoms in the hydrocarbon 58 molecule 61.The various petroleum products are refined from the crude oil by heating and condensing the vapors 62.These products are the so-called light oils,such as gasoline.,kerosine,and distillate oil.The residue 63 remaining after the light oils are distilled 64 is known as heavy or residual fuel oil and is used mostly for burning under boilers 65.Additional complicated refining processes rearange the chemical structure of the hydrocarbons to produce other products,some of which are used to upgrade and increase the octane rating of various types of gasolines.

[07:37.39]36.Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?  A.Crude oil is found below land and water.  B.Crude oil is always found a few hundred feet below the surface.  C.Pumping and pressure force crude oil to the surface.  D.A variety of petroleum products is obtained from crude oil.

[07:36.39]37.Many thousands of hydrocarbon compounds are possible because_ .  A.the petroleum products vary greatly in physical appearance  B.complicated refining processes rearrange the chemical structure  C.the two atoms in the molecule assume many positions  D.the pressure needed to force it to the surface causes molecular 66 transformation

[07:35.39]38.Which of the following is True according to the passage?  A.The various petroleum  products are produced by filtration.  B.Heating and condensation 67 produce the various products.  C.Chemical separation is used to produce the various products.  D.Mechanical means such as the centrifuge are used to produce the various products.

[07:34.39]39.How is crude oil brought to the surface?  A.Expansion of the hydrocarbons.  B.Pressure and pumping.  C.Vacuum created in the drilling pipe.  D.Expansion and contraction 68 of the earth's surface.

[07:33.39]40.Which of the following is Not listed as a light oil?  A.distillate oil  B.gasoline  C.lubricating oil  D.kerosine

[07:00.39]Short Answer Questions  (15 minutes)

[06:59.39]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).

[06:58.39]Why does the Foundation concentrate its support on basic rather than applied 87 research?Basic research is the very heart of science,and its cumulative 88 product is the capital of scientific progress,a capital that must be constantly increased as the demands upon it rise.The goal of basic research is understanding for its own sake.Understanding of the structure of the atom or the nerve cell,the explosion of a spiral nebula 89 or the distribution of cosmic dust,the causes of earthquakes and droughts,or of man as a behaving creature and of the social forces that are created whenever two or more human beings come into contact with one another-the scope is staggering,but the commitment to truth is the same.If the commitment were to a particular result,conflicting evidence might be overlooked or,with the best will in the world,simply not appreciated.Moreover,the practical application of basic research frequently cannot be anticipated.When Roentgen,the physicist,discovered X-rays,he had no idea of their usefulness to medicine.Applied research,undertaken to solve specific practical problems,has an immediate 90 attractiveness because the results can be seen and enjoyed.For practical reason,the sums spent on applied research in any country always far exceed those for basic research,and the proportion are more unequal in the less developed countries.Leaving aside the funds devoted 91 to research by industry-which is naturally far more concerned with applied aspects because these increase profits quickly-the funds the U.S.Government allots 92 to basic research currently amount to about 7 perent of its over-all research and development funds.Unless adequate safeguards are provided,applied research invariably tends to drive out basic.Then,as Dr.Waterman has pointed 93 out,"Development will inevitably 94 be undertaken prematurely,career incentives 95 will gravitate strongly toward applied science,and the opportunities for making major scientific discoveries will be lost.Unfortunately,pressures to emphasize new developments,without corresponding emphasis upon pure science...tend to degrade the quality of the nation's technology in the long run,rather than to improve it."
