Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questionsorunfinishedstatements.Foreachofthemtherearefourchoices markedA),B),C)andD).Youshoulddecideonthebestchoiceandmarkthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. The aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as possible over the period in which each printed symbol is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupil looks at words and phrases, for their meaning, almost without noticing the shapes of the separate letters. When a good reader is at work he does not look at letters, nor even at words, one by one however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a person who is reading, and it will

be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. The eyes of a very good reader move quickly, taking long jumps and making very short halts(停顿); the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each halt. Sometimes, when he meets a difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been looked at once. The teacher’s task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one eye-jump’) and to remove the necessity for going backwards to read something a second time. This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or syllable-by-syllable, or word-by-word reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong. It is wrong because such a method ties the pupil’s eyes down to a very short jump, and the aim is to train for the long jump. Moreover, a very short jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it will be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase. 21. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the first paragraph? A) Pupils should be trained to reach quickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbols. B) Pupils should look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape. C) Teachers should help their pupils avoid looking at the shape of the printed symbols. D) Teachers should tell their pupils the different stages of their study. 22. In a single moment, a good reader picks up ________. A) several words B) several phrases C) several sentences D) several lines 23. According to the passage, which of the following is FALSE? A) The eyes of a good reader make short halts and long jumps. B) The eyes of a bad reader take in the meaning of one word at a time. C) The eyes of a bad reader take only short jumps. D) The eyes of a good reader move steadily. 24. One may have to read something a second time if ________. A) there is enough time B) one reads too fast

C) the passage is very long D) one reads word by word 25. The main idea of the last paragraph is that ________. A) word-by-word reading is highly inefficient B) the pupil’s eyes should focus on groups of syllables instead of single syllables C) pupils have to move their eyes back and forth when reading D) finger pointing in reading helps the pupil concentrate on meaning Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Television has changed the lifestyle of people in every Industrialized country in the world. In the United States, where sociologists have studied the effects, some interesting observations have been made. Television, although not essential, has become an important part of most people’s lives. It alters peoples’ ways of seeing the world; in many ways, it supports and sustains (维持) modern life. Television has become a baby-sitter, an introducer of conversations, the major transmitter of culture, a keeper of tradition. Yet when what can be seen on TV in one day is critically analyzed, it becomes evident that television is not a teacher but a sustainer; the poor quality of programming does not elevate(提高) people into greater understanding, but rather maintains and encourages the life as it exists. The primary reason for the lack of quality in American television is related to both the history of TV programming development and the economics of TV. Television in America began with the radio. Radio companies and their sponsors first experimented with television. Therefore, the close relationship which the advertisers had with radio programs became the system for American TV. Sponsors not only paid money for time within programs, but many actually produced the programs. Thus, in American society, television is primarily concerned with reflecting and attracting society rather than experimenting with new ideas. Advertisers want to attract the largest viewing audience possible, to do so requires that the programs be entertaining rather than educational, attractive rather than challenging. Television in America today remains, to a large extent, with the same organization and standards as it had thirty years ago. The hope for further development and true achievement toward improving society will require a change in the entire system. 26. According to the author American television is poor in quality because ________. A) advertisers are interested in experimenting with new ideas B) it is still at an early stage of development, compared with the radio C) the programs have to be developed in the interests of the sponsors for economic

reasons D) it is controlled by radio companies 27. The second paragraph is mainly about ________. A) TV as the sustainer of American life B) TV as the major transmitter of culture C) the educational effect of TV on society D) the strong influence and the poor quality of American TV 28. In the author’s view American TV should ________. A) be critical but entertaining B) be creative and educational C) change with the development of society D) attract as many viewers as possible 29. The author believes that television in the United States has become important to most people because ________. A) it promotes family unity B) it helps them develop their speaking ability C) it affects their life in many ways D) it challenges society 30. The author’s attitude towards American television is ________. A) critical B) praising C) doubtful D) sympathetic Passage Three Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. “... We are not about to enter the Information Age but instead are rather well into it.” Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all United States high schools owned one or more computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new survey revealed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become “computer literate(慢点…的).” “By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated

in computer use will be compared to those who are print illiterate today.” What is “computer literacy”? The term itself seems to imply soon extent of “knowing” about computers, but knowing what. The current opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate. Therefore, it is vital that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adults are capable of utilising a motor vehicle without the slightest knowledge of how the internal-combustion engine works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work. Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever known how to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work? Rather, we first must concentrate on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is. “Knowing how to use a computer is what’s going to be important, we don’t talk about ‘automobile literacy. ‘ We just get in our cars and drive them.” 31. In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to ________. A) 79 million B) 30 million C) 70 million D) 100 million 32. The expression “Print illiterate” (Para. 1, Line 16) refers to ________. A) one who has never learnt printing B) one who is not computer literate C) one who has never learnt to read D) one who is not able to use a typewriter 33. The first paragraph is mainly about ________. A) recent predictions of computer-related jobs B) the wide use of computers in schools C) the urgency of computer education D) public interest in computers 34. According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers is to teach ________. A) what computers are
