II. Reading comprehension (30%)
Directions: There are 3 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.

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

In the past thirty years many social changes have taken place in Britain. The greatest of these have probably been in the economic lives of women.
The changes have been significant, but, because tradition and prejudice can still handicap women in their working careers and personal lives, major legislation to help promote equality of opportunity and pay was passed during the 1970s.
At the heart of women’s changed role in society has been the rise in the number of women at work, particularly married women. As technology and society permit highly effective and generally acceptable methods of family planning there has been a decline in family size. Women as a result are involved in child-rearing for a much shorter time and related to this, there has been a rapid increase in the number of women with young children who return to work when the children are old enough not to need constant care and attention.
Since 1951 the proportion of married women who work has grown from just over a fifth to a half. Compared with their counterparts elsewhere on the Continent, British women comprise a relatively high proportion of the work-force, about two-fifths, but on average they work fewer hours, about

31 a week. There is still a significant difference between women’s average earnings and men’s, but the equal pay legislation which came into force at the end of 1975 appears to have helped to narrow the gap between women’s and men’s basic rates.
As more and more women joined the work-force in the 1960s and early 1970s there was an increase in the collective incomes of women as a whole and a major changes in the economic role of large numbers of housewives. Families have come to rely on married women’s earnings as an essential part of their income rather than as “pocket money”. At the same time social roles within the family are more likely to be shared, exchanged or altered.

31. The general idea of the passage is about __________.
A) social trends in contemporary Britain

B) changes in women’s economic status
C) equal opportunity and pay in Britain

D) women’s roles within the family
32. According to the author, an increasing number of married women are able to work because __________.
A) their children no longer require their care
B) there are more jobs available nowadays
C) technology has enabled them to find acceptable jobs
D) they spend far less time on child care than before
33. In paragraph 4, counterparts refers to __________.
A) men in Britain B) men in mainland of Europe
C) women in Britain D) women in mainland of Europe
34. According to the passage, which of following is NOT true?
A) Equality of opportunity and pay is guaranteed by law.
B) Advanced technology and smaller family size help women go back to work.
C) The difference between women’s and men’s earnings is no longer existing thanks to equal pay legislation.
D) Women’s earnings are considered as an important part for the families.
35. What can we infer from the last passage?
A) Women now became more independent.
B) Every woman’s income has increased in the 1960s and early 1970s.
C) Women can also contribute to the family in terms of income.
D) In families social roles of wives and husbands are fixed.


Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.
Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise is a threat that should be looked at carefully.
There is a saying about it being so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.
Noise adds more tension (紧张) to a society that already faces enough stress.
But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariot (四轮马车) from moving through the streets at night!
Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There is even law controlling noise. We cannot return to the “good old days” of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise if we shout loudly enough about it.

36. Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study?
A) Because the world is becoming more and more noisy.
B) Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution.
C) Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings.
D) Because people knew little about the danger of noise before.
37. What may be the result if we cannot hear ourselves think?
A) We may forget what we have thought about.
B) Our thoughts may be interfered.
C) Our mind may be harmed.
D) We may have difficulty using the right words.
38. When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that ______.
A) our society is becoming much worse than before
B) in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life
C) the old days were much happier than the present time
D) it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before
39. From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that ______.
A) we can put noise under control if our measures are effective
B) sometimes we have to shout loudly so that others can hear us
C) shouting is a chief cause of noise pollution
D) it is important to warn people of the danger of noise pollution
40. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A) Only recently did people realize the harmfulness of noise.
B) Noise pollution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from.
C) People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible.
D) The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoid noise.

Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:

One day a police officer managed to get some fresh mushrooms. He was so pleased with what he had bought that he offered to share the mushrooms with his fellow officers. When their breakfast arrived the next day, each officer found some mushrooms on his plate.
“Let the dog examine a piece first,” suggested one careful officer who was afraid that the mushrooms might be poisonous.
The dog seemed to enjoy his mushroom, and the officers then began to eat their meal, saying the mushrooms had a very strange but quite pleasant taste.
An hour later, however, they were all astonished when the gardener rushed in and said seriously that the dog was dead. Immediately, the officers jumped into their cars and rushed to the nearest hospital. Pumps were used and the officers had a very hard time getting rid of the mushrooms that remained in their stomachs.
When they returned to the police station, they sat down and started to discuss the mushroom poisoning. Each man complained the pains that he had felt. The gardener was called to tell the way in which the poor dog had died. “Did it suffer much before death?” asked one of the officers, feeling very pleased that he had escaped a painful death himself. “No,” the gardener looked rather surprised. “It was killed the moment a car hit it.”

A) acted like selfish motives

B) was very kind to his friends
