Part III Reading comprehension
Directions：There are 5 passages in this part. Each
passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For
each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the
best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across
the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER
SHEET.
Passage One
Writing, as a career, offers a range of personal rewards. It
enables people to express themselves, as well as to entertain,
inform, and influence others. With only a few tools—paper, a
typewriter, a pencil, and often a personal computer—a writer can
have an impact on the surrounding world. But most authors spend
hundreds of hours perfecting their skills before they can sell any
of their works.
A person who wants to be a writer should set aside some time to
write every day. Learning to express ideas clearly and effectively
in writing takes a great deal of practice. Many experienced writers
keep a journal. A journal can serve as a storehouse for
information, observations, and ideas. It can also be a place to
develop new material.
Beginning writers should read many kinds of writing encountered
every day and pay special attention to what they find most
interesting. News items, feature stories, textbooks, cookbooks,
repair manuals, poems, essays, short stories, novels, and plays
differ in their methods of organizing and presenting material. A
beginning writer who reads widely and carefully will develop an
appreciation of different writing approaches and styles. In time,
the writer can acquire a more flexible approach to his or her own
work.
Successful authors write about subjects they know and understand.
They sometimes take weeks or months revising or refining an
article, poem, or story. Beginning writers usually benefit from
finding one or more friendly critics who will read their work and
discuss its strengths and weaknesses with them.
High schools and colleges offer many learning opportunities for
young writers. Composition and literature courses can be helpful.
Creative writing and journalism courses may further assist a
beginning writer in developing his or her skills. Many students
work on literary magazines, newspapers, or yearbooks published by
their schools. They may write stories, edit articles, or gain other
valuable experience.
31. How important is writing according to this passage?
A. People learn a lot from writing.
B. We are entertained with different
writings.
C. Writing can influence the surrounding world.
D. Books can be an important part of an
industry.
32. What does a journal NOT help to provide?
A. Service.
B.
Ideas.
C. Observations.
D. Information.
33. What should a beginning writer do to enjoy different writing
styles?
A. Reading different kinds of news items.
B. Studying different writing methods.
C. Learning the ways to present materials.
D. Carefully reading as much as possible.
34. Which of the following should a beginning writer avoid in order
to improve his or her
writing?
A. Developing new subjects.
B. Finding helpful
critics.
C. Attending writing courses.
D. Doing editing
work.
35. In developing students' writing ability, which of the following
is not mentioned by
the author?
A. They can take composition and literature
courses.
B. They can take writing and journalism
courses.
C. They may work on literary magazines, newspapers,
or yearbooks published by their
schools.
D. They may write stories or edit articles for
professional journals.
Passage Two
Internal clocks keep pace with the 24-hour cycle of day and night
and light and dark, enabling organisms to adapt their behavior
accordingly. Whether these daily—or circadian—rhythms(节奏) help a
single-celled organism expect the first rays of morning light or a
mouse prepare for a busy night searching for food, they are a
universal feature of life on earth.
Circadian clocks govern many human activities. From sleep-starved
students to active old people, the body automatically observes a
daily regulation of wakefulness and sleep. Our internal clocks keep
us mentally watchful during the day and prompt us to rest and
recover during the night. The pattern continues even in the absence
of external signals from the rising and setting sun. Research
volunteers living in a dark room naturally maintain a roughly
24-hour cycle of activity and rest. Researchers have concluded that
sunrise can reset the clock but that the clock does not depend on
sunrise and sunset to keep time.
We generally take our biological clock for granted, but as anyone
who has experienced the misery of jet lag (时差反应) or worked the
night shift knows, we will suffer if our natural rhythms are
disturbed. In rare cases, severe disturbances in the body clock can
be inherited, with problems affecting members of particular
families. Individuals suffering from earlier sleep, for example,
often fall asleep in the late afternoon or early evening, only to
wake up in the middle of the night.
Despite a long-standing interest in biological clocks, only in
recent years have scientists made major progress in understanding
the molecular systems that regulate them. The circadian
pacemaker—control center—in humans is located in the brain. A
cluster (簇) of only several thousand nerve cells governs a wide
range of 24-hour variations in our body, ranging from changes in
hormonal levels and body temperature to exposition to disease.
Understanding the detailed workings of the circadian clock may
explain why heart attacks occur more often in the morning and why
the incidence of coughing is more common at night.
36. The main idea of this passage can be any one of the following
EXCEPT ________.
A. internal clocks
B. circadian clocks
C. mental clocks
D. biological
clocks
37. The daily changes in our body are governed by ________.
A. scientists
B. humans ourselves
C. our mind
D. nerve cells
38. What does the case of “research volunteers living in a dark
room” indicate?
A. The daily rhythms continue despite outside
influences.
B. Those volunteers continued their cycle without
any changes.
C. The pattern remains unchanged with the internal
influences.
D. Sunrise and sunset help the volunteers to keep
time.
39. How do internal clocks affect our health?
A. Many of us have the miserable experience of jet
lag.
B. The night shift is among those we can not
avoid.
C. We will not feel well if natural rhythms are
changed.
D. Problems with internal clocks can usually be
solved within a family.
40. It can be inferred that ______________.
A. we now know why certain health problems occur
more often at particular times.
B. it is now easy to find out one's health
problems.
C. we don't know the causes of heart attacks at
times.
D. coughing problem is not serious at
daytime.
Passage Three
Managers of most businesses want high profits in order to pay high
dividends (红利) to investors. For this reason, they aim to keep
costs as low as possible. They also want to set high prices to gain
high revenues. But competition within the industry often prevents
them from doing so. Generally, a business will not increase the
price of its output if its competitors will not increase their
prices. If a business sets its prices higher than those of its
rivals, many of its customers will buy the output of its
rivals.
An important decision managers make is their choice of
input-mix—what combination of capital, labor, and raw materials to
use in production. The object is to keep production costs as low as
possible. If labor costs are high, for example, a firm may invest
in automatic machinery so that fewer workers are needed to
accomplish the same task. If labor is cheap, the company may decide
to employ extra workers instead of buying a machine to do the job.
The combination of inputs that permits a firm to produce its goods
or services at the lowest possible cost without reducing quality is
called the most productive input-mix.
The goal of keeping production costs low also affects a company’s
choice of location. The resources an industry needs and the
customers it serves are rarely close to each other. As a result, a
business must transport inputs, outputs, or both. A business also
tries to keep transportation costs as low as possible.
Transportation costs are based on weight and bulk as well as on
distance. The location a company selects may thus depend on whether
the company’s product is heavier or lighter than the materials used
to make it. The soft drink industry, which adds water to other
ingredients(成分) to make its products, is an example of an industry
that produces weight-gaining products. Soft drink companies choose
locations near their customers. The paper industry is an example of
industries that produce weight-losing products. Many such
industries are near sources of raw materials.
41. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Setting prices for products in
competition.
B. Investing in certain industries.
C. How to make high profits.
D. How to reduce costs for an industry.
42. What do businesses choose to do about the prices of their
products in competition?
A. Set higher prices.
B. Leave the prices unchanged.
C. Offer lower prices.
D. Keep the prices
adjustable.
43. The phrase “the most productive input-mix” means mixing inputs
________.
A. to produce goods or services at the
lowest possible cost
B. through selling goods or services at the
lowest possible prices
C. with goods or services sold at the
lowest possible prices
D. to produce quality goods or services at
the lowest possible cost
44. Why is a company usually very careful about choosing its
location?
A. Because the materials it needs are rather far
away.
B. Because the customers it serves are not so
close.
C. Because its resources and customers are seldom
close to each other.
D. Because both production and transportation costs
are rather high.
45. The soft drink industry and the paper making industry are used
as examples because
_______.
A. they are different from each other
B. they share a lot in common
C. they are both making lower profits
D. they transport their products at the same
costs
Passage Four
Mars may once have been a very wet place. A large number of clues
remain from an earlier era, billions of years ago, hinting that the
Red Planet was host to great rivers, lakes and perhaps even an
ocean. But some of the clues are contradictory—they don’t all fit
together in a coherent (一致的) whole. Little wonder, then, that the
fate of water on Mars is such a hotly debated topic.
The reason for the intense interest in Martian water is simple:
Without water, there can be no life as we know it. If it has been
3.5 billion years since liquid water was present on Mars, the
chance of finding life there is remote. But if water is present on
Mars now, however well hidden, life may be holding on in some
protected place.
Based on what we have observed so far, Mars today is a frozen
desert. It’s too cold for liquid water to exist on its surface and
too cold to rain. The planet’s atmosphere is also too thin to
permit any significant amount of snowfall.
Even if some internal heat source warmed the planet up enough for
ice to melt, it wouldn’t yield liquid water. The Martian atmosphere
is so thin that even if the temperature rose above the freezing
point the ice would change directly to water vapor.
New debates will undoubtedly emerge as data from Mars Global
Surveyor is digested. In 2001, NASA will send a new orbiter to Mars
to search for carbonates(碳酸盐). In 2003, NASA will send two devices
to Mars to hunt for water’s traces in rocks and soil on the
surface. But many questions about the history of water on Mars are
likely to remain unanswered until samples are returned from the Red
Planet for examination on Earth.
“I think the sample return is what we want. And if we could get
samples of things like this back on Earth, I think it would do an
awful lot to help us understand what’s going on on Mars,” says Mike
Carr, author of the book Water on Mars.
46. When talking about water on Mars, the writer thinks that
________.
A. all the clues are contradictory
B. it is a small wonder
C. the topic is not so interesting as
expected
D. it is naturally a hotly debated topic
47. Scientists are so interested in Martian water because ________
.
A. water means life
B. water was present there in the past
C. life has been found on the frozen desert
D. finding life there is impossible
48. To the best of our knowledge, which of the following is not
true of Mars today?
A. It's a frozen desert.
B. There is
no liquid water on it.
C. There is a lot of ice on it.
D. There is no snow on it.
49. If ice on Mars melted, what would most likely appear as a
result?
A. Liquid water.
B. Rain.
C. Snowfall.
D. Water vapor.
50. What should be done to better understand the history of water
on Mars?
A. Analyzing the data from Mars Global
Surveyor.
B. Sending more devices to Mars.
C. Obtaining samples from Mars for
analysis.
D. Learning more about the history of water
on Mars.
Passage Five
Tracking down cybercriminals (网络罪犯) who steal credit card numbers,
transfer money from other people’s accounts, or e-mail viruses
around the world takes a knowledge of the technology used to commit
the crimes. Instead of using fingerprints or following suspects,
government agents painstakingly sort out the mess of numbers and
symbols and letters that can lead them back through the computer
system to the cybercriminals.
One such investigation led to the arrest of the man accused of
sending the extremely dangerous Melissa virus, a computer virus
that destroyed files in computers around the world in the spring of
1999. The agents received help from online service technicians,
software experts, and a computer-science student. All helped to
trace the complex pathways of the virus back to the telephone line
and computer of the man who released it.
In another case, agents worked for two years to catch a
cybercriminal who was, among other offenses, stealing credit card
numbers. Agents found him by tracing a path from a computer he
broke into to the mobile telephone he had used, which led to his
address—and arrest.
The government agents are also working to block cybercriminals who
could cut off power and confuse telephone companies. “Think of the
consequences(后果) if the power went out for a week—not in just one
town or city but down the whole East Coast,” says Michael Vatis, an
FBI agent. From TVs to hospital equipment, all would fail.
Makaveli and TooShort were arrested for the charges of breaking
into computers. They were given probation(假释), required to perform
community service, and prevented from having home computers with
modems (调制解调器). Punishment for adults can be more severe and
usually includes some jail time.
Most people use their computers legally. For the few who don’t,
however, cyberpolice and better security systems will make it
harder for cybercriminals to get away with their crimes.
51. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Tracing cybercriminals.
B. Committing crimes on the Internet.
C. Computer viruses.
D. Computer knowledge and technology.
52. What should be known to catch cybercriminals?
A. Credit card numbers.
B. The technology used to commit the crimes.
C. Suspects’ fingerprints.
D. Numbers, letters and suspects.
53. How dangerous was Melissa virus back in 1999?
A. It destroyed computer files worldwide.
B. Many agencies were involved in the case.
C. Technicians, experts, and a student were
investigated.
D. Telephone lines and computers were
destroyed.
54. What serious result could a computer virus bring about?
A. Many telephone companies would go
bankrupt.
B. A city would be thrown into darkness.
C. Power would be out in almost half of the country
for a week.
D. There would be no more television programs to
watch.
55. What can we infer about the process of catching computer
criminals?
A. It could be dangerous.
B. It is rather complicated to identify the
cybercriminals.
C. It would cause a huge loss.
D. They have been punished severely.
Part IV Cloze Test
Directions: In this part, there is a passage with 20
blanks. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D.
Choose the best answer for each blank mark the corresponding letter
with a single bar across the square brackets on your
machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.
Two types of tests are commonly used
in modern schools. The first type is 56
called an “objective” test. For testing a student’s
memory of facts and details, the objective test has 57
. For testing some
kinds of learning, 58 , such a test is not very
satisfactory.
To get a clearer picture of what the student knows, most teachers
use another kind of examination 59 objective
tests.
They use “essay” tests, which 60 students to
write long answers to broad general questions.
One advantage of the essay test is that it
61 the
element of luck. The students cannot
get a high score just by 62 . Another
advantage is that it shows the examiner more
about the student’s ability to put facts 63
into a meaningful whole. It should show how deeply he has
thought about the subject. Sometimes, 64 , essay
tests have disadvantages, too. Some students are able to write
rather good answers without really 65
about the subject while other students who actually know the
material have trouble 66
their ideas in essay form. 67 , on an essay test the
student’s score may depend upon the examiners’ feelings at the time
of reading the answer. If he is feeling tired or 68
, the
student may receive a 69 score than he should.
Another examiner reading the same answer might give it a much
higher mark. From this standpoint the objective test gives each
student a fair chance, and of course it is easier and quicker
70 .
Most teachers and students would probably agree
that examinations are unsatisfactory. Students dislike
71 them; teachers dislike giving them and
scoring students’ answers. 72 an objective
test or
an essay test is used, problems 73 . When
some objective questions are used 74 some
essay questions, however, a fairly clear picture of the student’s
knowledge can usually be 75

Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
Almost as soon as rescue workers began
searching through at the sites of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on
the World Trade Center, many Americans started another search --
not quite as desperate, perhaps, but important nonetheless.
Citizens looked for information about the places the killers came
from and the ideas and beliefs that could drive men to lay down
their lives for the chance to kill ordinary American office
workers. Foreign reporters with expertise in the Middle East say
their phones have been ringing off the hook, and in fact every
newspaper in every town across the nation has run a variation on
two basic stories: 'What is Islam?' and 'Why Do They Hate Us?'
Adding to the shock of thousands of violent deaths was the
confusing information that the people who so passionately want us
dead belong to nations and groups that many Americans had never
even heard of.

鹤岗市位于中国北部边疆，有110万人口。就总体经济来说，其排名在黑龙江省并不靠前，但是，短短几年间，鹤岗却因城市建设而崭露头角，吸引着来自省内外诸多城市的游客。它那干净整洁的街道、拔地而起的高层建筑以及花园式的广场绝不是一座边疆煤矿小城的特色。

“9.11”恐怖分子袭击之后,
几乎世贸中心现场的搜寻营救行动一开始，许多美国人在发起另一种搜寻---也许不那么迫不及待，但是，也是十分重要的。公民们搜集那些恐怖杀手来历的信息，以及驱使他们以生命为代价去屠杀美国平民的思想和信仰。专门从事在中东采访的外国记者说，他们的电话一直占线，几乎全国各地的各家报纸都在刊登不同版本的两个基本故事：即“什么是伊斯兰教？”“他们为什么恨我们？”数千人惨死的噩耗令人震惊之余，还有令人不解的信息。原来，那些急着想让我们死的人们属于许多美国人从来没听说过的国家和群体。
Section B
Hegang City is on China’s northern frontier, and has a population
of 1.1 million. It does not rank highly in Herlongjiang Province in
terms of its overall economy. However, over the short span of a few
years, Hegang has emerged, by means of its urban construction, and
attracts visitors from numerous cities within and without the
province. its clean, neat streets, imposing high-rise buildings,
and garden-like square are not at all typical features of a small
coal-producing city in a remote frontier area.

Application Letter
849 Baldwin Avenue
Virginia Bench, VA 23467
March 10, 2002
Mr. Timothy I. Mellon
Director of College Recruiting
Midwest Mercantile Company
4501 Randolf Drive
Chicago, IL 60601
Dear Mr. Mellon:
I read your company’s description in the Newspaper and would like
to inquire about employment opportunities in your management
training program. I want to work in retail management and would
like to relocate to the Chicago area after graduation.
I shall receive my B.S. degree this May. My interest in business
started in Junior Achievement while in high school and developed
further through a variety of sales and retail positions during
college. My internship with a large department store convinced me
to pursue a career in retail. When I researched the top retailers
in Chicago, Midwest Mercantile emerged as having a strong market
position, an excellent training program, and a reputation for
excellent customer service. In short, you provide the kind of
professional retail environment I seek.
My resume is enclosed for your consideration. My education and
experience match the qualifications you seek in your management
trainees, but they don’t tell the whole story. I know from customer
and supervisor feedback that I have the interpersonal skills and
motivation needed to build a successful career in retail
management. And my relatively extensive experience gives me
confidence in my career direction and in my abilities to perform
competently.
I know how busy you must be during this time of year, but I would
appreciate a few minutes of your time. I wonder if I could call you
during the week of January 22 to discuss employment opportunities.
In the meantime, if you need to contact me, my number is
804-683-8843. Please leave a message if I’m not in, and I’ll return
your call the next day.
Thank you very much for considering my request. I look forward to
talking with you.
Sincerely,
Craig S. Watson
