　　Part II Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)

　　Directions: There are 4 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 center.

　　Passage One

　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

　　In America, the movement of housing away from the high-rise buildings of the inner-cities originated in the 1920s, but was stalled by the Great Depression of the 1930s and by World War II. After the war a tremendous surge occurred in the real-estate market with the advent of single-family homes on relatively small lots-typically less than one-tenth of an acre. During the 1950s, many large tract developments encroached on former farmlands near metropolitan areas. The most dramatic instances of this sprawling effect were witnessed in western municipalities such as San Jose and San Diego whose city charters defined their boundaries over several hundred square kilometers. These large parcels of land were overrun by standard three bedroom, two bath, "ranch-style" homes in a few short decades.

　　By the 1960s construction had subsided significantly and developers began building different kinds of plants to try and accommodate the changes in the market. Those who had taken advantage of the suburbanization trend in the post-war years had seen the value of their real estate increase dramatically and many were anxious to re-invent their assets. In an effort to reap this affluence, certain contractors moved away from the standard models and began designing larger buildings on increasingly spacious parcels even farther from city centers. Other builders began working on homes to meet the needs of young couples starting new families. The townhouse, a two to three-story brick and frame structure containing more than 4 but less than 30 units per structure, was seen as the solution. These apartments were successful in luring many young adult city dwellers out to the suburbs.

　　In subsequent development, traditional single family ranch-style designs continued to be embraced, but new forms were also introduced: the condominium, a single-family attached dwelling; the triplex and fourplex, three-and four-family structures, and prefabs, which have become significantly more popular during the last 20 years owing to their low cost and ease of construction. The prefabs have the additional distinction of being mobile. It is not uncommon to see semi-trailers hauling these modular living units along the freeways to remote destinations. In a very real sense, this phenomenon marks the cutting edge of suburbanization: a move out of the traditional suburbs and into areas that were formally considered wilderness.

　　21. According to the passage, when did suburban housing experience its greatest increase in America?

　　A) In the 1970's.B) In the 1960's.

　　C) In the 1950's.D) In the 1940's.

　　22. In Line 5, the word "surge" is closest in meaning to　　　　。

　　A) declineB) desire

　　C) orderD) increase

　　23. It can be inferred that the large population increases in San Diego and San Joes were due to 　　　　.

　　A) proximity to the cast

　　B) large municipal areas

　　C) increased employment in the area

　　D) excellent year-round weather

　　24. How did suburban construction change in the 1960's?

　　A) It relied more on prefab housing.

　　B) It slowed and developed less specific markets.

　　C) It slowed and developed more specific markets.

　　D) It slowed and developed a unified approach.

　　25. Which of the following is NOT true of the larger suburban houses built in the sixties?

　　A) They were built larger than traditional suburban homes.

　　B) They were mainly sold to people who already owned homes.

　　C) They were on larger pieces of land.

　　D) They were closer to the city.

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

　　Material culture refers to the touchable, material "things"-physical objects that can be seen,held, felt, used-that a culture produces. Examining a culture's tools and technology can tell us about the group's history and way of life. Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music-culture. The most vivid body of "things" in it, of course, are musical instruments. We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph(留声机)was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information about music-cultures in the remote past and their development. Here we have two kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and instruments pictured in art. Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern influence to Europe that resulted in the development of the instruments in the symphony orchestra.

　　Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture. Scholars once defined folk music-cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows mutual influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain, and America. Printed versions limit variety because they tend to standardize any song, yet they stimulate people to create new and different songs. Besides, the ability to read music notation(乐谱)has a far-reaching effect on musicians and, when it becomes widespread, on the music-culture as a whole.

　　One more important part of music's material culture should be singled out: the influence of the electronic media-radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and videocassette, with the future promising talking and computers and other developments. This is all part of the "information revolution", a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth. These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations; they have affected music-cultures all over the globe.

　　26. Research into the material culture of a nation is of great importance because

　　　　.

　　A) it helps produce new cultural tools and technology

　　B) it can reflect the development of the nation

　　C) it helps understand the nation's past and present

　　D) it can demonstrate the nation's civilization

　　27. It can be learned from this passage that 　　　　.

　　A) the existence of the symphony was attributed to the spread of Near Eastern and Chinese music

　　B) Near Eastern music had an influence on the development of the instruments in the symphony orchestra

　　C) the development of the symphony shows the mutual influence of Eastern Western music

　　D) the musical instrument in the symphony orchestra were developed on the basic of Near Eastern music

　　28. According to the author, music notation is important because　　　　.

　　A) it has a great effect on the musicculture as more and more people are able to read it

　　B) it tends to standardize folk songs when it is used by musicians

　　C) it is the printed version of standardized folk music

　　D) it encourages people to popularize versions of songs

　　29. It can be concluded from the passage that the introduction of electronic media into the world of music　　　　.

　　A) has brought about an information revolution

　　B) has speeded up the advent of a new generation of computers

　　C) has given rise to new forms of music culture

　　D) has led to the transformation of traditional musical instruments

　　30. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?

　　A) Musical instruments developed through the years will sooner or later be replaced by computers.

　　B) Music cannot be passed on to future generations unless it is recorded.

　　C) Folk songs cannot be spreaded far unless they are printed on music sheets.

　　D) The development of music culture is highly dependant on its material aspects.

　　Passage Three

　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

　　Pedro was a wonderful person among all the people of the ranch. Besides being the most renowned hunter, he had seen the world, and conscious of his superiority, he strutted among the cowboys and other ranch hands like an only rooster in a small barnyard. Besides, he spoke English, which he had learned on one of his trips up north. Yes, Pedro was a traveled man; he had been as far away as Sugar Land and had worked in the sugar-cane plantations. Many strange things he had seen in his travels. He had seen how the convicts were worked on the plantations and how they were whipped for the least offense. Yes, Pedro, had seen that with his own eyes.

　　He did not stay in the Sugar Land country long; the dampness was making him have chills. So he hired himself out as a section hand. His auditors should have seen that big black monster, el Tren Volador(Spanish for "the Flying Train"). It roared and whistled and belched fire and smoke as it flew over the land. He would have liked being a section hand in the railroads had it not been for the food-cornbread and salt pork.

　　He had been told that if he ate salt pork, he would soon learn to speak English. Bah, what a lie. He had eaten it three times a day and had only learned to say "Yes". But being anxious to see a city, he came to Houston. As he walked through the downtown streets one Saturday evening, he saw some beautiful American ladies singing at corner. What attracted his attention was that they played the guitar. That made him homesick for the ranch. He stopped to listen, and the beautiful ladies talked to him and patted him on the back. They took him with them that night and let him sleep in a room above the garage. He could not understand them, but they were very kind and taught him to play the drum, and every evening the ladies, after putting on a funny hat, took the guitars and he the drum, and they went to town. They sang beautifully, and he beat the drum in a way that must have caused the envy of the passerby, and when he passed a plate, many people put money in it. During the winter he learned English. But with the coming of spring he got homesick for the mesquitales, the fragrant smell of the huisache, the lowing of the cattle at sundown, and above all, for the mellow, rank smell of the corral. What would he not give for a good cup of black, strong ranch coffee, and a piece of jerky broiled over the fire. And so one night, with his belongings wrapped up in a blanket, he left south by west for the land of his youth. And here he was again, a man who had seen the world but who was happy to be at home.

　　31. Which sentence from the story best states the main idea?

　　A) He did not stay in the Sugar Land country long; the dampness was making him have chills.

　　B) And here he was again, a man who had seen the world but who was happy to be at home.

　　C) Pedro was a wonderful person among all the people of the ranch.

　　D) But being anxious to see a city, he came to Houston.

　　32. With regard to the English language, Pedro　　　　.

　　A) spoke well enough to sing along with the beautiful Americans

　　B) could never learn how to read and write it

　　C) learned it on one of his trips up north

　　D) never learned how to speak it

　　33. Which of these did Pedro miss most from the ranch?

　　A) The lowing of cattle at sundown.

　　B) Strong coffee and beef jerky.

　　C) The sound of the guitar.

　　D) The odor of the corral.

　　34. Huisache and mesquitales are probably words that related to 　　　　.

　　A) cattle

　　B) plants and flowers

　　C) ranches and plantations

　　D) coffee and other hot beverages

　　35. The women Pedro met in Houston were 　　　　.

　　A) English teachers

　　B) garage mechanics

　　C) street performers

　　D) cooks

　　Passage Four

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

　　Beauty has been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.

　　While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.

　　Handsome male executives were perceived as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.

　　Attractive female executives were consi-

　　dered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.

　　All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight successes.

　　Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is perceived to be more feminine(女性的) and an attractive man more masculine(男性的) than the less attractive ones.

　　Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditional masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.

　　This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently," says Anne Browman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.

　　The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.

　　36. The world "liability"(Para.1,Line 8) most probably means　　　　.

　　A) misfortuneB) instability

　　C) disadvantage D) burden

　　37. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness 　　　　.

　　A) reinforces the feminine qualities required

　　B) makes women look more honest and capable

　　C) is of primary importance to women

　　D) often enables women to succeed quickly

　　38.Browman's experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness 　　　　.

　　A) turns out to be obstacle to men

　　B) affects men and women alike

　　C) has as little effect on men as on women

　　D) is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women

　　39. It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often　　.

　　A) practicalB) prejudiced

　　C) old-fashionedD) radical

　　40.The author writes this passage to 　　.

　　A) discuss the negative aspects of being attractive

　　B) give advice to job-seekers who are attractive

　　C) demand equal rights for women

　　D) emphasize the importance of appearance

　　Part V Writing

　　Fake Commodities

　　Fake commodities have almost found their way into every field. Compared with the genuine products, they have more attractions for consumers because of their much lower prices. They, of course, cause great economic losses to the genuine-product manufacturers. Besides, as fake commodities are often of a poor quality, they will damage the credibility of the genuine products.

　　Fake commodities also cause much trouble to the consumers. For example, if something goes wrong with the fake commodities, the consumers cannot enjoy the free after sale services guaranteed by the genuine-product manufacturers. Further more, fake commodities can be dangerous or even fatal to the customers. For example, some consumers were reported to have died after drinking fake wine.

　　Fake commodities are causing our country a serious problem which deserves attention from all sides. The legitimate producers should safeguard their legal rights by powerful precautions and, at the same time, try to improve their products and bring down their prices so as to be more competitive. The authorities should redouble their efforts to check the production and sale of fake commodities. Additionally, consumers should free themselves from the temptation of fake commodities and create no opportunities for them.
