. Reading Comprehension(60 points)
Directions: There are 4 reading 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.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the
following passage:
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a
great deal.
One of their obligations is to give them a sense of personal
worth, for self
esteem is the basis of good mental health. A
youngster, who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy,
constantly compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will
become so unsure, so afraid of failing, that he or she won’t try at
all. Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong; this
is the way children learn. But the criticisms should be balanced
with praise, preferably with a smile or a kiss. No child is ever
too old to be hugged.
Parents own their children firm guidance and consistent
discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is in
charge of himself; it’
s like being in a car without brakes.
The parent who says “No” when other parents say “Yes” sends a
double message. He is also saying “ I love you, and I am ready to
risk your anger because I don’t want you to get into
trouble”.
Parents owe their children some religious training. The fact
that so many strange worships are enjoying success is proof that
children feel the need for something spiritual in their life.
Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their
body, and enough information about sex to balance the
misinformation that they will surely receive from their
friends.
Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their
personal belongings. This means not borrowing things without
permission, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through
purses, pockets and drawers. If a mother feels that she must read
her daughter’
s diary to know what is going on, the
communication between them must be pretty bad.
Parents owe their children a set of solid values around
which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the
rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders,
to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is
by example. A child who is lied to will think that it is right to
steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home
will have a difficult time laughing and loving.
No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the
world, you owe the child something. And if you give him your
beliefs, he’
ll have something of value to pass along to your
grandchildren.
31. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that a child
_______ .
A. must develop himself in his own way
B. will be spoilt if he is given too many criticisms
C. will have less confidence if he has little
self
esteem
D. should be always compared with his brothers or sisters in
intelligence
32. The refusal by the parents as to something not wise for a child
implies _______ .
A. his future hate to them
B. deep love for him
C. a risk for them
D. a warm hug
33. Which of the following is true?
A. Children also have religious needs.
B. Children should have no privacy to their parents.
C. It’
s better that a child can be in charge of
himself.
D. Parents should not hold their child in arms after he has grown
up.
34. If parents lie to their child, he will probably _______ .
A. refuse the truth
B. rely on other people
C. lie to the people around
D. have a difficult time laughing and loving
35. This passage can be best entitled “
_______
”.
A. Information about Children’
s Needs of Parents
B. Duties for Parents to Their children
C. Mental Health for Children
D. How to Guide Children
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society
has been shifting from curing disease to preventing
disease
especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy
behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to
exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued
further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight , but does
not eat very nutritious(有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises
only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an
outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but
does not drive while drunk , and who has no chest pains or abnormal
blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person
is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease.
But we can imagine that this person could be a lot
healthier.
The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished
between someone who is merely “
not ill” and someone who is
in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs.
Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years,
however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms
“well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to
maintain and improve their health. People who are well are
concerned with nutrition and exercise and they make a point of
monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people
who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to
their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap
(缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an effort to
maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their
physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as
a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can
strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to
resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by
focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of
wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people
face the challenges of daily life.
36. Today medical care is placing more stress on _______ .
A. keeping people in a healthy physical condition
B. monitoring patients’
body functions
C. removing people’
s bad living habits
D. ensuring people’
s psychological wellbeing
37. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that _______
.
A. good health is more than not being ill
B. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful
C. regular health checks are essential to keeping fit
D. prevention is more difficult than cure
38. Traditionally, a person is considered “
well” if he
_______ .
A. does not have any unhealthy living habits
B. does not have any physical handicaps
C. is able to handle his daily routines
D. is free from any kind of disease
39. According to the author, the true meaning of “
wellness”
is for people _______ .
A. to best satisfy their body’
s special needs
B. to strive to maintain the best possible health
C. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health
D. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure
40. According to what the author advocates, which of the following
groups of people would be considered healthy?
A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.
B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of
disease
C. People who try to be as possible, regardless of their
limitations.
D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical
care.
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage：
One of the qualities that most people admire in others is
the willingness to admit one’
s mistakes. It is extremely hard
sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that ” it
is even harder to say “I was wrong, and you were right about
that”.
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me
that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had
been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood
where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons.
Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely the
incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at that time, and I had gone
into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On
that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food
department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because
there was in impressive display of eggs in dozen and
half
dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four
feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the
stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery car and
knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it
was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to
work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see
what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting
some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to
him it looked as though I was the culprit. He severely reprimanded
me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my
innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I
quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did
not.
41. How old was the author when he wrote this article?
A. About 8 years old. B. About 18 years old.
C. About 23 years old.D. About 15 years old.
42. Who was to blame for knocking off the stacks of cartons?
A. The author.B. The manager.
C. A woman.
D. The author’
s mother.
43. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons was seriously
criticized by the manager.
B. The author was severely criticized by the manager.
C. A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartons.
D. It was the author who put the display back.
44. Which of the following can serve as the best title of the
passage?
A. It’
s Harder to Admit One’s Mistake.
B. I Was Once the Culprit.
C. I Remember an Incident.
D. A Case of Mistaken Identity.
45. The tone of the article expresses the author’
s _______
.
A. admiration for the manager’
s willingness to admit
mistakes
B. anger to the manager for his wrong accusation
C. indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of
cartons
D. regret for the mistake he make in the store
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage：
In cities with rent control, the city government sets the
maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment.
Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are
living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they
are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say
that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects.
Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore,
they invest in other businesses where they can increase their
profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be
rent
controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built.
Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the
critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments
in the city.
Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause
problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum
that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who
generally look for unskilled, low
paying jobs. However, if
the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will
replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that
employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal,
the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics
claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some
poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs
at the minimum wage.
Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep
their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their
services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot
force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.
Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions
such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the
minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “
other
things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the
predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different
decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while
others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are
no simple answers to economic questions.
46. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent
may________.
A. cause a shortage of apartments
B. worry those who rent apartments as homes
C. increase the profits of landlords
D. encourage landlords to invest in building apartment
47. We can safely say that rent control ________.
A. will always benefit those who rent apartments
B. is unnecessary
C. will bring negative effects in the long run
D. is necessary under all circumstances
48. The problem of unemployment will arise ________.
A. if the minimum wage is set too high
B. if the minimum wage is set too low
C. if the workers are unskilled
D. if the maximum wage is set
49. The passage tells us ________.
A. the relationship between supply and demand
B. the possible results of government controls
C. the necessity of government control
D. the urgency of getting rid of government controls
50. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. The results of economic decisions can not always be
predicted.
B. Minimum wage can not always protect employees.
C. Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if
other factors are not changing.
D. Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.
