Part Ⅵ Reading Comprehension [30 min]

Section A Reading Comprehension [25 min]

In this Section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. choose the one that you think is the best answer.

Mark your answers on your answer sheet.

Text A

Many of the home electric goods which are advertised as liberating the modern woman tend to have the opposite effect, because they simply change the nature of work instead of eliminating it. Machines have a certain novelty value, like toys for adults. It is certainly less tiring to put clothes in a washing machine, but the time saved does not really amount to much: the machine has to be watched, the clothes have to be carefully sorted out first, stains removed by hand, buttons pushed and water changed, clothes taken out, aired and ironed. It would be more liberating to pack it all off to a laundry and not necessarily more expensive, since no capital investment is required. Similarly, if you really want to save time you do not make cakes with an electric mixer, you buy one in a shop. If one compares the image of the woman in the women’s magazine with the goods advertised by those periodicals, one realizes how useful a projected image cab be commercially. A careful balance has to be struck: if you show a labor-saving device, follow it up with a complicated recipe on the next page; on no account hint at the notion that a woman could get herself a job, but instead foster her sense of her own usefulness, emphasizing the creative aspect of her function as a housewife. So we get cake mixes where the cook simply adds an egg herself, to produce “ that lovely home-baked flavor the family love”, and knitting patterns that can be made by hand, or worse still, on knitting machines, which became tremendously fashionable when they were first introduced. Automatic cookers are advertised by pictures of pretty young mothers taking their children to the park, not by professional women presetting the dinner before leaving home for work.

66. According to the passage, many of the home electric goods which are supposed to liberate women_________

A. remove unpleasant aspects of housework.

B. Save the housewife very little time.

C. Save the housewife’s time but not her money.

D. Have absolutely no value for the housewife.

67. According to the context, capital investment refers to money _____

A. spent on a washing machine. B. borrowed from the bank.

C. saved in the bank. D. lent to other people.

68. The goods advertised in women’s magazines are really meant to ________

A. free housewives from housework.

B. Encourage housewives to go out to work.

C. Turn housewives into excellent cooks.

D. Give them a false sense of fulfillment.

Text B

The “ standard of living” of any country means the average persons share of the goods

and services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore, depends

first and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this sense is not money, for

we do not live on money but on things that money can buy.- "goods" such as food and cloth-

ing, and "services" such as transport and entertainment.

A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have

an effect on one another. Wealth depends to a great extent upon a country' s natural re-

sources, such as coal, gold, and other minerals, water supply and so on. Some regions of

the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a favorable

climate; other regions possess none of them.

Next to natural resources comes the ability to turn them to use. Some countries are per-

haps well off in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and external wars,

and for this and other reasons have been unable to develop their resources. 'Sound and stable

political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natu-

ral resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country

equally well served by nature but less well ordered. Another important factor is the technical

efficiency of a country's people. Industrialized countries that have trained numerous skilled

workers and technicians are better placed to produce wealth than countries whose workers

are largely unskilled.

A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced

and consumed within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through

international trade. For example, Britain's wealth in foodstuffs' and other agricultural

products would be much less if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makes

it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural

products that would otherwise be lacking. A country's wealth is, therefore, much influenced by

its manufacturing capacity, provided that other countries can be found ready to accept its

manufactures.

69. The standard of living in a country is determined by___________

A. its goods and service.

B. the type of wealth produced.

C. how well it can create wealth.

D. what an ordinary person can share.

70. A country's capacity to produce wealth depends on all the factors EXCEPT________

A. peoples share of its goods.

B. political and social stability.

C. qualities of its workers.

D. use of natural resources.

71. According to the passage,________ play an equally important role in determining a

country's standard of living.

A. farm products

B. industrial goods

C. foodstuffs

D. export import

Text C

How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our

teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept our-

selves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion.

Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in

a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet

new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut

a boy's hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their

mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable Styles and we

are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or

dull.

What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just

the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats, for example. In cold

climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In

recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by

not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.

There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short

skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they

got shorter and shorter until the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts

became longer again.

Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to

dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way

you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and

the "untidy" look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashions of the top

fashion houses.

At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we

must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law

firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished

scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never

feel depressed if you don't look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see

that no one else does either!

72. The author thinks that people are____________

A. satisfied with their appearance.

B. concerned about appearance in old age.

C. far from neglecting what is in fashion.

D. reluctant to follow the trends in fashion.

73. Fashion magazines and TV advertisement seem to link fashion to _________

A. confidence in life. B. personal dress.

C. individual hair style. D. personal future.

74. Causes of fashions are ____________

A. uniform. B. varied

C. unknown D. inexplicable.

75. Present-day society is much freer and earlier because it emphasizes ________

A. uniformity. B. formality.

C. informality D. individuality.

76. Which is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Care about appearance in formal situations.

B. Fashion in formal and informal situations.

C. Ignoring, appearance in informal situations.

D. Ignoring appearance in all situations.

TEXT D

Massive changes in all of the world's deeply cherished sporting habits are underway.

Whether it's one of London's parks full of people playing softball, and Russians taking up

rugby, or the Superbowl rivaling the British Football Cup Final as a televised: spectator event

in Britain, ;he patterns of players and spectators are changing beyond recognition, We are

witnessing a globalization of our sporting culture ........

That annual bicycle race, the Tour de France, much loved by the French is a good case

in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair with France, Belgium and

Holland, Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it has been dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders.

The people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot. Michelin

and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returns for the millions

they invest in teams. So it does them literally a world of good to see this unofficial world

championship become just that.

This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we are witnessing here,, one made

possible by. communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considera-

tions. Sell the game and you can sell Coca Cola or Budweiser as well.

The skilful way in which American football has been sold to Europe is a good example of

how all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to Spread the sport for its own

sake, but to increase the number of people interested in the major money-making events.

The economics of the Superbowl are already astronomical. With seats at US$125, gate

receipts alone were a staggering $10,000,000. The most important statistic of the day, however, was the $100,000,000 in TV advertising fees. Imagine how much that becomes when the

eyes of the world are watching.

So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people are

now suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of four

25-minute quarters. The idea is unashamedly to capture more advertising revenue, without

giving any thought for the integrity of a sport which relies for its essence on the flowing

nature of the action.

Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumers

also grows, so we will demand to see them played at a higher and higher level. In boxing

we have already seen numerous, dubious world title categories because people will not pay to

see anything less than a " World Title " fight, and this means that the title fights have to be

held in different countries around the world!

77. Globalization of sporting culture means that ______-

A. more people are taking up sports.

B. traditional sports are getting popular.

C. many local sports are becoming international.

D. foreigners are more interested in local sports.

78. Which of the following is NOT related to the massive changes?

A. Good economic returns. B. Revival

C. Communications technology. D. Marketing strategies.

79. What is the authors attitude towards the suggestion to change soccer into one of four 25-

minute quarters?

A. Favorable. B. Unclear C. Reserved D. Critical

80. People want to see higher-level sports competitions mainly because______

A. they become more professional than ever.

B. they regard sports as consumer goods.

C. there exist few world-class championships

D. sports events are exciting and stimulating.

Section B Skimming and Scanning [5 min]

81. The main purpose of the passage is to ________-

A. warn people of pickpockets. B. tell people what to wear.

C. describe how to catch thieves. D. explain how to contact the police.

Now, go through TEXT E quickly and answer Question 81.

Pickpockets operate in crowded places in the hope of getting easy pickings. Don't make

it easy for them. Keep wallets, purses and other valuables out of sight. If wearing a jacket,

an inside pocket is the best place to use. If not, your possessions are safest in a pocket with

a button-down flap.

Please co-operate with the police by reporting any crime or suspicious activity immedi-

ately, either by dialing 110 or calling at your nearest police station.

Text F

First read the following question.

82. The main topic of the passage is _________

A. agricultural products. B. irrigation methods.

C. natural resources. D. water shortages.

Now, go through TEXT F quickly and answer Question 82.

It is widely accepted that China is a country faced with severe water shortages. Insufficient water resources have slowed agricultural development. And to make matters worse,

some of the traditional Chinese irrigation methods have wasted an astonishing amount of water.

In China today, the utilization efficiency of farming water is about 30 to 40 per cent. This

figure stands in sharp contrast to developed country's utilization average of 70-80 per cent.

The low utilization efficiency has resulted from the adoption of some traditional Chinese irrigation methods.

Only by using modern irrigation methods can we reduce water shortage in agriculture.

One of the advantages of modern irrigation methods is that they alone can save 20-30

per cent of the present volume of wasted irrigation water.

The Best Way to Stay Healthy

If you have recently started or restarted an exercise program, you are not alone, and it proves to be the best way to stay healthy.

In the first place, exercise makes your body, most importantly, your heart stronger-by helping it pump more blood with each heartbeat. The blood then deliver more oxygen to your body. Exercise can also lower blood pressure, reduce your risk of heart disease. Besides, exercise is the best way to lose weight. Burning calories and working off the fat will help you look and feel better. In the second place, more and more people realize that mental health is nevertheless important than physical health. Focusing your energy on taking care of yourself with proper exercise is the best way to not just transform your body but to lift your spirits.

If you are blessed with a healthy body and healthy mind by getting into exercises like soccer, ice skating, jogging, running, swimming, bicycling or anything that involves lots of activities, you can be confident that you are the “ wealthiest”, thus the happiest man on the planet earth.

Disappearing Forests

The world’s forests are disappearing. As much as a third of the total tree cover has been lost since agriculture began some 10,000 years ago. The remaining forests are home to half of the world’s species thus becoming the chief resource for their survival. Tropical rain forests once covered twelve percent of the land of the planet. As well as supporting at least half of the world’s species of plants and animals, these rain forests are home to millions of people. But there are other demands on them. For example, much has been cut for timber. An increasing amount of forestland（林地） has been used for industrial purposes or for agricultural development, such as crop growing. By the 1990s less that half of the earth’s original rain forests remained, and they continues to disappear at an alarming rate every year. As a result, the world’s forests are now facing gradual extinction.
