PartⅡ Reading Comprehension (45 points, 50 minutes)
Directions: There are 6 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 with a single line through the centre.
Passage 1
Question 51 to 55 are based on the
following passage:
Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there
would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes
to the common good.
Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works
of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film?
No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly,
where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in
their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic
merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in
mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor
are very far from being "works of art".
When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great
masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which
make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are
relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the
name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with
"pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent
certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society
would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining
influence which a censor provides.
51.A censor's duty is ____.
A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or films
B) to ban books and cut films
C) to distinguish works of art from others
D) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people
52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.
A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracy
B) censors prevent people from making profits
C) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic merit
D) censorship limits the way people feel and think
53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.
A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographic
B) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decency
C) many pornographic works will be published in the name of art
D) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value
54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.
A) would be poor materially
B) would expose its people to dangers of being corrupted
C) could not develop its entertainment industry
D) would allow only a small section of people to make profits
55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.
A) censors are fully qualified for their job
B) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpieces
C) society will not do without censorship
D) many books, plays and films are not works of art
Passage 2
Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:
A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable
districts of
Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today,
she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life
to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system
was in a mess.
There are two main problems: State schools in
France
have to accept whatever
teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector
friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half
the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent.
Private schools can choose their own teachers.
The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school
in
Birmingham
made headlines in
Britainbecause the teachers were being
terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks,
thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories
are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't
limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of
French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence
(流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another.
Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional
values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from
France's
new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become
intense.
56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.
A) compulsory education
B) free private education
C) private schools
D) the state school system
57.The French state education system ____.
A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers
B) seems to have no serious
difficulties
C) is running smoothly
promises to maintain high standards
58.Private schools in
France
today ____.
A) are generally undergoing changes for the worse
D)
B) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children to
C) have become victims of vandalism
D) never hire teachers who stress traditional values
59.Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.
A) in the
Paris
slums, but not in other areas
B) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French cities
C) almost everywhere in
France
D) rather restricted to
Birmingham
60.France
children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.
A) taking highly competitive examinations
B) simply sending in
applications
C) joining factions and gangs
Part Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )
D) drawing lots
Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are
four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits
into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single
line through the cettre.
Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities.
Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods
that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far
from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend
on the nearness of a canning factory.
The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and
waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and
vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.
The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short
time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for
sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans
a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the
air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about
half the pressure of the outside air.
The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling
water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit,
for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at
higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly
to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.
The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins
into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker
and no paper labels are then required.
