Part II Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are 4 reading 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 your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1
Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or, in winter, skating or skiing (滑雪). It may be a game of some kind --- football, hockey (曲棍球), golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion (激情) for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games, as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from manmade rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a „team game‟. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no „matches‟ between „teams‟ of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.
36. The difference between a sport and a game has to do with ______.
A. the kind of activity B. the kind of rules C. the kind of uniform
D. the kind of participants (参与者)
37. Mountaineering can be called a team sport because ______.
A. it is an Olympic event
B. teams compete against each other
C. mountaineers depend on each other while climbing D. there are 5 climbers in each team 38. Mountaineers compete against ______.
A. nature B. each other C. other teams D. international standards 39. The age during which people can enjoy mountaineering ______.
A. is very restricted B. is from 20 to 30 C. is governed by law
D. is limited only by individual ability and desire 40. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Mountaineering is Different from Golf and Football B. Mountaineering is More Attractive Than Other Sports C. Mountaineering D. Mountain Climbers
Passage 2
Conflict, like stress, is a natural phenomenon when people interact. Conflict in some form is always present; however, it is not always negative. Conflict can be positive, for example, when you and your colleagues try to select the best possible solution to a problem. However, much more attention is given to the negative aspects of conflict. Conflict occurs when we fear the unknown. This can be very simple: someone says something in a tone of voice different from our expectations, which raises questions in our mind as to what the real meaning might be. Of course conflict can, and does, occur in much more serious circumstances. Your ability to detect and understand conflict will place you in a better position to control the situation. Conflict is often categorized in three stages. Stage one is the day-to-day irritations (恼人的事) that are easy to deal with. Stage one conflict is real but low in intensity. The intensity can increase if irritations increase and no solutions are found. Stage two is reached when the two sides become competitive. Each person protects his self-interest and fears loss of face. Stage three is reached when the objective changes from wanting to win toward wanting to hurt the other side. This stage can be explosive because other people are drawn into the conflict and sides are chosen. Problem solving is no longer a realistic method of resolution. By understanding the three stages of conflict, it will be easier for you to handle the day-to-day situations to which you are exposed. You will also be able to detect potential conflict between others in which you do not want to get involved. 41. Conflict is ______.
A. paid attention to because it is negative
B. only positive when occurring between colleagues C. universally present in human interactions D. similar to stress in every aspect
42. Stage two conflict is different from stage one conflict in that ______.
A. it is caused by daily disputes
B. it is low in intensity
C. it takes a form of competition D. it always leads to loss of face
43. The third stage can be explosive because ______.
A. quarreling becomes inevitable
B. it is no longer a conflict between two individuals C. people begin to hate each other D. no solution is possible
44. The ability to identify conflict ______.
A. can help you make good use of conflict B. enables you to win every competition C. can prevent conflict from occurring
D. can help you deal with the situation better
45. The conflict between a student and his roommate caused by different living habits is an
instance of ______.
A. stage one conflict B. stage two conflict C. stage three conflict D. none of the above
Passage 3
All of us communicate with one another nonverbally (不使用语言地), as well as with words. Most of the time we‟re not aware that we‟re doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else‟s eyes and look away, change positions in a chair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.
One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another‟s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other‟s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.
Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs (磨擦) his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. Another example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man‟s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor‟s authority (权威); it can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.
Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words. 46. The main idea of this article is that ______.
A. study of communication through body movement is a new science B. body movements are as important as words in communication C. all of us communicate with one another
D. eye behavior is the most important part in body language 47. What do researchers think of body language?
A. Body language can be understood and used by people in communication.
B. Body language is more important than spoken language in communication. C. Body language has been discovered in recent years.
D. Body language is the study of communication through body movement. 48. The word “intimate” in paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A. great B. close C. good D. important 49. According to the passage, you make an American person feel uncomfortable, if you ______.
A. meet his eyes B. avoid meeting his eyes C. stare into his eyes for one second D. look into his eyes for a long time
50. The sentence “The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful
gesture” means ______.
A. the researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is used
B. the researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaning
C. the researchers think that one gesture can not be used in different situations
D. the researchers look for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gesture
Passage 4
How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.
In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child --- things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society. 51. People can experience happiness if they ______.
A. always think of the past and regret it B. value the present C. are no longer young
D. become old and have much experience
52. When people were young, they used to ______.
A. be in charge of many businesses
B. have few things to think about and take on C. look after their younger sisters and brothers D. face a lot of difficulties
53. The pains of children lie in the fact that ______.
A. no one helps them make right decisions B. they are often beaten by their parents
C. they can not be accepted and praised by others D. they are not allowed to do what they like to do 54. Children are usually happy because ______.
A. old people lose interest in them B. they are free to do wrong
C. they are familiar with everything going on around them D. things are new to them
55. Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy?
A. Hard work. B. Being free from troubles. C. Wealth. D. Health.
