Part two Reading and Comprehension (40 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. choose the best and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line throw the center.
Passage one
Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about them.
Are we under-employed, or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?
All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face it honestly, and to bring our frustrations(失意，挫折)into the open. People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle up their feelings.
If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress to light, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “ Let not the sun go down upon your wrath(愤怒)” is good advice from the health point of view as well as religious.
16. which of the following statement is true?
A. Freedom from responsibilities helps relieve stress.
B. Stress is the direct cause of cancer.
C. The causes of stress are worthy of serious study.

A. People who have cancer.
B. People who like to quarrel with others.
C. People whose living standard is low.

A. Changing our jobs
B. Reading the Bible
C. Changing our attitude about little things that make us unhappy.
D. speaking out about our frustrations
20. “Let not the sun go down upon your wrath” probably means_____.
A. Don’t let your anger last long.
B. Don’t get angry while the sun is going down.
C. Don’t get angry easily about little things.
D. Don’t watch the sun set while you are angry.
Passage two
Concerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American parents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive.
But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right.
Arguments may concern such unimportant matters as styles or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating and sex behavior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemaker. Actually, relatively few adolescents do anything wrong, and all grow up into “solid citizen” who fulfill most of their parents’ expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the “generation gap” is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents’ values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.
21. According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect _____.
A. feeling of hatred
B. power struggle
C. that they don’t care for each other
D. that they may appeal to divorce
22. As children enter adolescents, they begin to do the following except _____.
A. demanding greater freedom to go wherever they please
B. making decisions without parental interference
C. getting married whenever they please
D. doing what they please
23. “--- generation gap is narrowing.” Means ______.
A. the adolescents now become timid
B. parents come to get along with their children
C. the vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents’ values and ideas
D. parents and teenager don’t like to quarrel
24. Parents and children often disagree about what is important or right because _____.
A. they have different styles of life
B. they hate each other
C. parents think that their children are troublemakers
D. they are in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values
25. When many American parents don’t know how to deal with their children they seek advice from the following except ______.
A. neighbors B. parent-training course
C. books D. lectures
Passage three
A youngster’s social development has a profound effect on his academic progress. Kids who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind academically as well and have a higher chance of dropping out(). In the early grades especially, experts say, youngsters should be encouraged to work in groups rather than individually so that teachers can spot children who may be having problems making friends. “ When children work on a project,” says Lillian Kate, an educational professor at the University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to think to take turns and lighten tensions.” These skills can’t be learned through lecture. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but don’t have any social skills. Relationship should be the first R.
At a certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation to others. For most children, school marks the first time that their goals are not set by an internal clock but by the outside world. Just as the 1-year- old struggling to walk the 6-year-old is struggling to meet adult expectations. “Young kids don’t know how to distinguish early-childhood education for the state of New Jersey, if they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a particular task. The effect is serious,” says Hills, “a child who has had his confidence really damaged needs a rescue operation.”
26. In the author’s view, a kid’s poor relationship with his classmates would _____.
A. have negative effects on his study
B. develop his individualism but limit his intelligence
C. eventually lead to his leaving school
D. have nothing to do with his achievement in a course
27. In the first paragraph, the word “spot” means _______.
A. teach B. help C. find D. treat
28. For most children, school makes them understand _________.
A. that it is society rather than individual that decides one’s future
B. that they can meet the social needs
C. that one’s effort and one’s ability can be two quite different matters
D. that social needs and individual needs have nothing in common
29. Which of the following is most unlikely for the author to do?
A. To talk to the students who have mental problems
B. To help students develop a feeling of self-respect
C. To keep a student from playing alone
D. T announce a student’s score in public
30. Which of the following is the major concern of the passage about a student’s needs?
A. Individualism and cooperation
B. Academic success and independent thinking
C. Socialization and feeling of competence
D. Intelligence and respect
Passage four
It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meaning of thousands of perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habit and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering ” things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”--- ready for instant use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.
The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combination of words.
31. According to the passage, memory is considered to be _______.
A. the basis for decision making and problem solving
B. an ability to store experiences for future use
C. an intelligence typically possessed by human beings
D. the data mainly consisting of words and combination of words
32. The comparison made between the memory of a large capacity of a large computer and that of a human being shows that _____.
A. the computer’s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager
B. the computer’s memory capacity is much smaller than an adult human being’s
C. the computer’s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager
D. both A and B
33. The whole passage implies that _______.
A. only human beings have problem-solving intelligence
B. a person’s memory is different from a computer’s in every respect
C. animals are able to solve only very simple problems
D. animals solves problems by instincts rather than intelligence
34. The phrase “in terms of ” in the last sentence can best be replaced by ______.
A. “in connection with ” B. “expressed by”
C. “ consisting” D. “by means of”
35. The topic of the passage is: __________.
A. What would life be like without memory?
B. Memory is of vital importance to life
C. How is a person’s memory different from an animal’s or a computer’s?
D. What is contained in memory?
