Part Ⅱ
Reading Comprehension (20 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: 

African elephants have been slaughtered at alarming rate over the
past decade, largely because they are the primary source of the
world’s ivory. Their population has been dwindled from 1.3 million
in 1979 to just 625,000 today, and the rate of killing has been
accelerating in recent years because many of the older, bigger
tusked animals have already been destroyed. “The poachers now must
kill times as many elephants to get the same quantity of ivory,”
explained Curtis Bohlen, Senior vicepresident of the World Wildlife
Fund.
Though its record on the environment has been spotty so far,the
government last week took the lead in a major conservation issue by
imposing a ban on ivory imports into the US.The move came just four
days after a consortium of conservation groups,including the World
Wildlife Fund and Wildlife Conservation International,called for
that kind of action, and it made the US the first nation to forbid
imports of both raw and finished ivory.The ban,says Bohlen,sends
avery clear message to the ivory poachers that the game is over.
In the past African nations have resisted an ivory ban, but
increasingly they realised that the decimation of the elephant herds
poses a serious threat to their tourist business. Last month
Tanzania and several other African countries called for an amendment
to the 102nation Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species that would make the ivory trade illegal worldwide. The
amendment is expected to be approved at an October meeting in Geneva
and to go into effect next January. But between now and then,
conversationists contend, poachers may go on a rampage, killing
elephants wholesale, so nations should unilaterally forbid imports
right away. The US government brought that argument, and by week’s
end the twelvenation European Community had followed with its own
ban.

21.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A) African Elephants and the Ivory Trade.
B) A Bid to Save the Elephant.
C) The Poachers.
D) Elephants In Danger.

22.According to the passage, “dwindle” means ____.
A) decreaseB) enlarge

23.Since many of the older, bigger- tusked animals have already been
destroyed, what did the poacher do?
A) They gave up poaching.
B) They killed more elephants to get the same quantity of ivory.
C) To them, game is over.
D) They realized it was illegal to slaughter elephants.

24.Why did the African nations welcome an ivory ban?
A) The rate of killing has been accelerating.
B) The US government forbids imports of both raw and finished
ivory.
C) They realised that the killing of elephants is a serious threat
to their tourist business.
D) African people advocated an ivory ban.

25.What’s the author’s attitude?

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: 

In 58 million homes, the VCR has become nearly as much as the family
car. But despite the VCR’s advantages, video buffs complain about
its limits. To duplicate prerecorded movies, for instance, requires
two VCRs awkwardly cabled together. No wonder, then, that fans at
Chicago’s Consumer Electronics Show last week were excited by a new
machine that eliminates the drawback. Moreover, its appearance was a
triumph over wellwired opposition in Tokyo and Hollywood.
The center of the excitement was the first dualdeck videotape
recorder available to US consumers, the VCR2, made by the tiny
Arizonabased GoVideo company.The VCR2 enables its users to make
highquality duplicates of prerecorded tapes easily. It also lets
viewers watch a tape while simultaneously recording off the air.
GoVideo hopes to have a limited supply of the VCR2 in stores by
Christmastime, priced at just under $1,000.
But the machine’s move from freezeframe to fasterforward has not
been easy.
For starters, GoVideo could find no Japanese companies, which
control manufact
ure of crucial VCR parts, willing to provide needed components. For
another thin
g, US movie studios opposed the machine. So the company sued 15
Japanese and Kor
ean makers, plus the Hollywood studios, claiming restrain of trade.
Several manu
factures have now settled with GoVideo, and Korea’s Smsung, is
tooling up to produce the VCR2. Meanwhile, Hollywood has modified
its opposition because GoVideo agreed to install circuitry that
will prevent the VCR2 from copying movies protected by antitheft
coding. Still movie makers may see double for a while. Many of the
films on store shelves, including hot new rentals like Coming to
America and Crocodile Dundee Ⅱ, do not contain the coding.

26.VCR has many advantages, but it also has its limits which lie in
____.
A) it’s not easy to duplicate prerecorded movies
B) it can not duplicate prerecorded movies
C) it can not be operated easily
D) it takes too long to duplicate prerecorded movies

27.According to the passage, the suitable word which can replace
“drawback” is ____.
A) breakthrough B) advantage
C) barrier D) function

28.What’s the advantages of VCR2?
A) It can make highquality duplicates of prerecorded tapes easily.
B) It can let viewers watch a tape while simultaneously recording
off the air.
C) It can duplicate prerecorded movies clearly.
D) Both A and B.

29.Why did GoVideo company sue Japanese makers?
A) Because Japanese makers are tooling up to produce the VCR2.
B) Because no Japanese companies are willing to sell needed
components.
C) Because Japanese makers like to cooperate with Korean
counterparts.
D) Because Japanese makers compete with them.

30.Hollywood began to cooperate with GoVideo Company, because
____.
A) US consumers will have to pay rentals for duplicating movies
B) VCR2 will be installed circuitry to prevent it from copying
movies protected by antitheft coding
C) with the help of VCR2, the movies are more popular
D) Govideo company can copy movies without the permission of
Hollywood studios.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: 

When Anwar out of the way, will Mahathir’s war against foreign
speculators actually help turn the economy around? The view of
international financial analysts-foreigners-was largely pessimistic.
Paul Krugman, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has
suggested that the kind of financial restriction imposed by the IMF
may not always be appropriate—and that it might be necessary for
countries like Malaysia to close the doors and pump up production to
buy time for reforms. But after Mahathir took that advice, Krgman
quickly addressed an open letter to the Malaysian leader, warning
that capital controls can work only as a “stopgap
measure(权宜之策)”while putting together more fundamental banking and
business reforms. Capital control “put more power into the hands of
administrators, and people are rightly worried about abuse of
powers,” says Simon Flint of Independent Economic Analysis in
Singapore. “Intervention just leads to corruption.”
Mahathir has heard and rejected such arguments before. Since his
days fighting the British colonialists, he has dreamed of creating a
Malays-assertive, competitive, hardworking who could stand up and be
proud. If nothing else, Mahathir and his business friends have
always thought big-developing the world’s tallest building, the
biggest dam, an Asian Silicon Valley—anything to increase the sense
of national pride. Two decades of big ideas and affirmative action
policies have helped pull Malays up from poverty. Now Mahathir has
lives to see the birth of his New Malay Man-and, in small irony, it
has turned out to be Anwar. With all his confidence and worldly
sophistication, Anwar epitomize (集中体现) the ideal Mahathir has sought
all his life. Last week Mahathir moved to destroy his own creation,
the rebel son who has stood beside the old nationalist as the answer
to his dream.

31.Why did Paul Krugman regard capital controls as a stopgap
measure?
A) Because he was largely pessimistic.
B) Because financial restrition is not appropriate.
C) Because it benefits foreign speculators.
D) Because in the long run, it will lead to abuse of powers.

32.What’s the reaction of Mahathir when he heard “Intervention just
leads to corruption.”
A) He has rejected such arguments before.
B) He thought it right and accept it.
C) He regretted what he had done.
D) He moved to destroyed his own creation.

33.Mahathir has always thought something big to increase the sense
of national pride which lies in ____.
A) the world’s tallest building
B) the biggest dam
C) an Asian silicon valley
D) A, B and C

34.How long did it take his big ideas to help pull Malays up from
poverty?
A) 10 years. B) 20 years.C) 12 years. D) 24 years.

35.Why did Mahathir move to destroy Anuar?
A) Because Anwar did not embody his ideal.
B) Because Anwar turned out to be a total failure.
C) Because Anwar has stood beside the old nationalist.
D) Because his dream become true.

Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: 
The home service industry in Beijing is expected to become more
attractive both as a job and as an industry.
Sources at the Beijing People’s Political Consultative Conference
said resistance to home service work is melting away from minds of
the city’s laidoff workers.The Conference suggested the
establishment of municipal centers which supervise property
management, household mending and installation, and house keeping
services.Modern city life is creating a need for industrialization
home services. This will create job opportunities for laidoff
workers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the
Conference.
Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The
demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high
quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always
complaining.
In the past, few laidoff workers in Beijing desired to work as home
helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At
the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural
girls with modern household machines or with their small children.
Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more
familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one,
even though the city is home to thousands of laidoff workers.
By the end of June this year, there were 30,600 jobless workers in
the city. Most of them are women in their 40’s, who are not blessed
with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by
the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first
realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got
used to for decades.
They never imagined being laidoff by stateowned enterprises; they
never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private
sector meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status.
Gao yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the
Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in
the afternoon. She earns 1,000 yuan per month.
So she no longer worries about her daughter’s tuition at a
university in Shanghai.
36.What is talked about in the passage?
A) Home service. B) Modern city life.
C) Laidoff workers. D) Social status.

37.What does the word “laidoff” in the passage mean?
A) Heavilyburdened. B) Old.
C) Inexperienced. D) Jobless.

38.Why didn’t the laidoff workers like to do home services in the
past?
A) Low salary.
B) Lower social status.
C) Dirty working condition.
D) Too much extra work.

39.Why were many laidoff workers at a loss?
A) Because they didn’t get used to the new way of life.
B) Because they are too old to find a new job.
C) Because they dislike being laid off.
D) Because they think they lost their social status.

40.In which ways is home service industry good for our society?
A) It meets the needs of modern life.
B) It provides work opportunities for the laidoff workers.
C) It is a new industry.
D) A and B.

The place of the child in society has varied for thousands of years
and has been effected by different cultures and religions. In
ancient times unwanted children were occasionally abandoned, put to
death, exploiting or offered for religious sacrifices, and in any
event a large percentage of them didn’t survive their physically
hazardous existence to reach to maturity.
In western civilization within the last few hundred years, there
have been many changes in attitude with the young. In agricultural
Europe, and later with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution,
the children of the poor work long hours for little or no pay, and
there was no public concern on their safety or welfare punishment
could be brutal and severe.
By the eighteenth century the harsh and severe methods began to show
any change. Society slowly accorded(给予) children a role of
importance. Books were written expressly for them and gradually laws
were passing for their protection. Efforts were made to create for
them a life better than their parents!
In the past few decades parents have become more and more attentive
for the needs of their children.Better health care is available and
education is no longer reserving for the children from wealthy
families.

Passage Two
When John Wilton, writer of Paradise Lost, entered Cambridge
University in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven
years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul’s school,
London, like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar
school, he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and
write it fluently and correctly. His pronunciation of Latin was
English, however, and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends
when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin the hard way. They memorized
rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a
wordforword translation and then an idiomatic translation into
English. As they increased their skill, they translated their
English back into Latin without referring to the book and ther
compared their translation with the original. The school master was
always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin
should be beaten in.
After several years of study, the boys began to write compositions
in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they bagan to
read Latin poems, they began to write poems in Latin. Because Milton
was already a poet at ten, his poems were much better than those
painfully put together by other boys. During the seven years Milton
spent at the university, he made constant use of his command of
Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems which he published among
his works in 1645.

15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
16. Which of the following is true of John Milton’s pronunciation of
Latin?
17. What kind of man would you say John Mitton was?

Passage Three
Up to about 1915, movies were short and pragrams were made up of
several works. Then, D.U. Griffith and others began to make longer
films which provided the same powerful emotional appeal as did
melodrama and presented spectacles far beyond what the theater could
after. Consequently, after world war Ⅰ increasing numbers of
spectators deserted the theater for the movies. This trend was
accelerated in the late 1920’s as a result of two new elements. In
1927 sound was added to the previously silent film, and thus one of
the theater’s principal claims to superiority vanished. In 1929 a
serious economic depression began. Since audiences could go to the
movies for a fraction of what it cost to see a play, theater going
became a luxury which few could afford, especially as the depression
deepened.
By the end of world war Ⅱ, the American theater had been reduced to
about thirty theaters in New York city and a small number of touring
companies originating there.

18. Why did movies do better than theater?
19. Up to the 1920’s, what was one objection to the films?
20. What made people choose the movie over the theater?

参考范文：
Wealth and Health
With the development of society people attach more importance to
wealth and health. But which is more important, wealth or health?
Different people have different opinions.
Some people think wealth is more important. They even say, money can
not bring you everything, but without money, you can do nothing. In
order to accumulate more money they can do anything.
However other people regard health is more important. Once health
lost, it is no use having a lot of money. Everybody wants to live a
happy life. So they try their best to earn money which can ensure
they lead a comfortable life, but if happiness and comfort are
achieved at the cost of their health, how can they be happy?
As far as I am concerned, I love wealth, but I value health more,
Because health is the premise on which people do anything. Without
health money becomes useless. I think, everyone agrees that a
wealthy person without good health can not live a happy life.
Therefore we should keep fit by every possible means.
