ENGLISH QUALIFICATION TEST
FOR A BACHELOR’S DEGREE
(Nov. 2003)
Reading Comprehension:
Paper One
Part Ⅰ Listening Comprehension(15minutes 15%)(共 15 题 略)
Part II
Directions: There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed
by five questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.
You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter in the
Answer Sheet.
Recently I decided to hold some poetry readings for friends, partly for a selfish
reason, liking to hear the sound of my own voice, but also because I suspected that
there is a dimension of pleasure and understanding that we miss by reading poems
only to ourselves.
The most basic preliminary question of any reading is who reads. One answer would
be to ask everyone to prepare one or two poems, and to go around the room. This gives
everyone something to do, and it exposes everyone to a variety of tastes and
interpretations.
An alternative is to let one ham run the show. The ability to read aloud, like
any other talent, is unevenly distributed; it’s probably better not to hear a poem
at all than to hear it mangled. Reading aloud is also a mental and, to a degree,
a physical effort.（86） If only one person does it, then, everyone else can enjoy
the unalloyed pleasure of listening. If it’s not a pleasure, the reader will have
no guests for his second reading.
B. Gives one no pleasure or understanding
D. Is a suspicious
I thought it was only fair to my listeners to reward them for their attention with
food and drink, but only fair to me to withhold it until I had finished. I limited
the reading to one hour.
16．According to this passage, reading poetry aloud to other people
A. Is a selfish thing
C.Gives one a kind of pleasure different from silent reading
act.
17．The author believes that when people read a poem aloud, they
A．Show their own ways of understanding
literature
C．Take a walk around the room
to do
18．What does the author think is the best form for a poetry reading session?
A．Ask everyone to participate in the reading
B．Ask one talented person to do the reading throughout.
C．Invite everyone to walk around the room.
D．Ask one person to read a few poems and then let others take their turns.
B．Betray their poor tastes in
D．Are happy to have found something
B．No one has the talent to
19．What is the author’s opinion of people’s ability to read aloud well?
A．Such an ability is not a matter of talent.
do so.
C．Not everyone has that ability.
20．According to this passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．The author gave listeners food only after the reading had finished.
B．The author was eating while other people were reading.
C．The listeners were eating while the author was reading.
D．The listeners gave the author drinks by way of thanks.
D．Everyone has the ability
Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of
different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways.
The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things
present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in
interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition,
there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies.
（87）All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life
to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are
fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because
everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory,
they are at least customary and undisputed.
Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more
readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example,
in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather
than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society
than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones;
in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture
rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more
readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp
dichotomies（一分为二）. （88）This is one reason why change has not come more quickly
to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp
difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.
21.The passage is mainly discussing __________ .
A. the necessity of social change
B. certain factors that determine the ease with which social changes occur
C. two different societies
D. certain factors that promote social change
22.______ is one of the factors that tend to promote social change.
A. Joint interest
C. Less emotional people
D. Advanced technology
23.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional aspects
of society.
B. Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change.
B. Different points of view
C. Social change is more likely to occur in the material aspect of society.
D. Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they were young.
24.The expression "greater tolerance"(paragraph 1) refers to _____ .
A. “greater willingness to accept social change”
B. quicker adaptation to changing circumstances"
C. "more respect for different beliefs and behavior"
D. greater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas"
25.Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar
in many ways because ________ .
A. people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they
seldom think it necessary to change
B. people there have identical needs that can be satisfied without much
Difficulty
C. people there are easy to please
D. people there are less disputed
More on your Plate
For years it has been possible to set up cameras to take pictures of cars as they
speed along highways, jump lights or drive too fast down the street.
However，
even if the pictures are taken automatically, someone still has to do all the
paperwork of sending out fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up
with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically.
They suggest that all number plates have a bar code（条形码） as well as the usual
number. The bar codes are just stripes of lines like those you see on food packets
but bigger. EEVs high speed video camera system can read a bar-coded number plate
even if the car is doing over 100 miles per hour. The computer controlling the system
could then use the information from the bar code to find out the name and address
of the driver（from the car records），print out the fine and send it off automatically.
The inventors also suggest that the system should watch traffic to help catch stolen
cars.
The new electronic system could be watching everyone that passes the cameras！
（89）Many people find the idea that “big brother is watching you” is more of a
worry than a few motorists getting away with driving too fast. Besides, some people
will be very unhappy to realize that with the new system the police could find out
where a particular car has been.
26. An alternative “summary” title for the article could be
A. People Who Drive Too Fast
C. EEV and the Police System
Offenses
27. A traditional function of the camera as used by the traffic police system is
to
A. take snapshots of cars on highways
C. send fines to fast motorists
automatic
B. catch cars violating traffic rules
D. make the traffic system fully
.
.
B. Stop People from Driving Too Fast
D. Implications of Computerized System for Motoring
28.The newly-invented system functions more efficiently with the aid of________.
A. car number
C. bar coded numbers on number plates
29.All of the following names can be used to describe EEV’s device except
B. vehicle speeding records
D. print-out fines
.
A. a computerized video system
C. an electronic system
30.An additional function of the new system is that it could
A. add code numbers
C. watch everyone that drives too fast
D. print out
B. “Big Brother”
D. an automatic fine printer
B. help catch stolen car

（90）Since the beginning of history, man has been attracted by the idea of living
forever, of wining the fight against death and disease．So far, this has only remained
a dream, though a very powerful one．Many people have wondered whether it would be
possible to find a way to preserve human bodies, and what would be the best way to
preserve human bodies．
bar codes
It has long been known that meat of fruit can be kept fresh for long periods by
freezing; in ancient China, for example, food was stored with ice to keep it
fresh．This method could also be useful for preserving humans, and in fact many people
have explored this possibility．
However, most living beings that exist under warm conditions die when frozen．This
is because of the harmful effects of freezing ice crystals（晶体）, which are not
only larger than the volume of the water originally in the cells, but also form sharp
cutting shapes that harms the cells．
In the 1940s Dr B．J．Luyet and a group of scientists in England were working on
the problem of freezing cells without damaging them．Since the harm caused by ice
crystals was the main cause of the damage, Luyet suggested removing some or all of
the water from the cells before freezing them．
Using living cells from chicken, Luyet and his assistants discovered that they
could partly dry the chicken cells, using a mixture of the white part of an egg and
glycerin（丙三醇）, a clear, thick liquid made chiefly from fats and oils．Some success
was obtained．The chicken cells were dried, frozen for a period of time, and then
carefully unfrozen ． Almost all the cells recovered when they reached normal
temperatures．
Since then, the cooling of whole animals to a temperature very much below freezing
point for later unfreezing has become more of a possibility, and the glycerin method
would probably be used to accomplish this．When this can be done completely and
successfully, science will have moved much closer to its aim of freezing and storing
incurable patients until the day they can be cured．
31．The passage is mainly about ___________．
A．the possibility of preserving human bodies by freezing
B．the practice of preserving food by freezing
C．the harmful effects of freezing
D．how to remove water from living cells
32．The idea of freezing human bodies to preserve them ___________．
A．comes from that of keeping meat and fruit fresh by freezing
B．was invented in ancient China
C．has already been realized
D．is widely accepted by the scientific world
33．According to the passage, freezing is___________．
A．the best way of preserving food
B．a way of removing water from living cells
C．a way of realizing the idea of preserving human bodies
D．harmful to living cells and cannot be adopted to preserve them
34．Glycerin can be used ___________．
A．to freeze living cells
B．to unfreeze living cells
C．to remove water from living cells
D．to change the shapes of crystals
35． The success obtained by Dr Luyet and his helpers was a long step towards
___________．
A．keeping meat or fruit fresh
B．changing the volume of the water in living cells
C．changing the shapes of ice crystals
D．preserving human bodies for long periods
