Part II Reading Comprehension
Direction:
There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five question, for each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET.
Passage 1
Less than a month from graduation day, Theresa Casebeer of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, had yet to find the right job. The career placement center referred the liberalarts (文科) major to JOB-TRAK, an Internet site listing 45,000 positions.
Casebeer selected four keywords: Chicago, business, marketing and full-time. Immediately
she found 45 jobs meeting her criteria (标准), including one as an assistant to an administrator at the University of Chicago's business school. Four weeks later she was hired at a starting salary of $ 32,000.
"I had no training," says Casebeer, "but the Internet was extremely easy to use. I' d never have known about this job without it."
Casebeer is one American who clicked (发出卡擦声) her way into a job. Steven Toole is another.
In 1996, Toole came across an employment site named Career-Builder. He had just been pro-rooted to director of marketing for a company mad wash' t looking for a job. But curious, he decided to "give it a try".
Toole filled out a profile (个人简历) with the keywords marketing manager and entered his electronic-mail address. Within a week his computer' s mailbox was filling up with available positions. Two interviews later he jumped to a new job. "The Internet is like hiring a personal assistant," says Toole. "Effortlessly you can become aware of opportunities that may elevate your career.”
Most major newspapers and trade publications have on-line versions of their classified listings, enabling job-seekers to scan for work available across town, in another state or around the world. All 50 states, plus Washington, D. C., and Guam, have their local job banks available on-line, too. "The Internet is a wonderful place to explore, especially when coupled with traditional job search methods," notes Richard Nelson, author of What Color Is Your Parachute?

Passage 2
Many young British doctors drink too much and use cannabis and other illegal drugs, according to a survey released last week.
The poll of 14 junior doctors in northeastern England, published in a letter in The Lancet medical journal, showed that more than 60 per cent drank more alcohol than the recommended safe limits.
Over 35 per cent of male doctors and 19 per cent of female physicians also admitted using cannabis and up to 13 per cent also took other drugs.
"The current drinking habits, illegal drug use, and stress in some junior doctors is of concern, not only for their own well being, but also how they affect patients' care," said Dr. Farhad Kam all of the University of Newcastle, who conducted the study.
The British Medical Association (BMA) said the findings were consistent with its own research into the habits of the junior doctors.
The survey was released a day after Dr. Patrick Dixon, a British AIDS expert and author, called for random testing of doctors for alcohol and drug abuse.
Exxon, the author of "The Truth about Drugs", said that the problem, posed a significant
threat to the public health because patients' lives were being put at risk.
"With around 10 per cent of all doctors either intoxicated (沉醉) or withdrawing (from drugs or alcohol) we are faced with the fact that significant numbers of doctors have impaired judgment because of addiction," Dixon said in a telephone interview.
He claimed that more than 1,000 addicted doctors in London were addicts but he said their
colleagues were reluctant to identify them because of fear of retribution (报复).
"Our estimate is that up to 10 percent of doctors may have a drug or alcohol problem at some time in their working lives," a BMA spokeswoman said.

A) it is quite fashionable to take cannabis in Britain
B) taking cannabis is against the law in Britain
C) cannabis is something delicious to eat
D) there is no limit to the use o{ cannabis

A) Set B) Given up. C) Finished. D) Issued.

A) put the health of the drinkers and users at risk
B) had negative influence over the younger doctors
C) presented a great threat to the public health
D) was a pretty new social phenomenon in Britain
39. The word "impaired" (Para. 8) means
A) irresponsible B) weakened C) false D) paired up
40. The colleagues of the addicted doctors were unwilling to identify them because they
A) did not want to lose friendship B) lacked self-confidence
C) didn't want to get punished D) didn' t want the addicted doctors to be punished
Passage 3
Lord Woolf, the most senior judge in Britain believes that the civil courts are a nightmare for those trapped in their procedures. The average High Court case takes more than three years from the legal document to trial. Many personal injury cases take twice as long. The costs of these legal cases are out of proportion to the stakes. Lawyer's fees in personal injury cases amount to more than half the claim. Some multinational (跨国的) companies complain that the British court system is slower and more expensive than any other.
The new Lord Chief Justice, Lord Bingham, describes the excessive costs of civil litigation (诉讼) as a cancer eating at the heart of the administration of justice. His point is that when justice is expensive, most people do not have access to it. These days, only the very rich or the very poor (whose costs will be paid by the state) can afford to go to court. Rising costs, therefore, also means a growing burden on the taxpayer: public expenditure on civil legal aid has increased a lot since 1983.
Cases have allowed to run on and on because, at present, the lawyers set the pace, and they have no interest in seeing a quick result. Lord Woolf's remedy is to shift control of litigation (诉讼) from lawyers to judges.
Quicker, cheaper justice is in almost everybody's interests; but there will be opposition from two sources. The Treasury (财政部)is worried that, even though the court costs per case should fail, the costs to the state of the system as a whole will probably rise: there will have to be more judges, more staff members in the court, and the court system will need to be computerized. But such objections can be easily met. Higher court costs could be passed onto the litigants who would still pay less overall because their lawyers bills would be so much smaller.
Opposition may also come from lawyers. Some of them will complain that handing power to the courts will restrict their ability to represent their client's interests. If justice is cheaper, it will also be rougher. Such an outcome is possible, but it is far from inevitable. In any case, the finest legal system in the world would still not provide justice if most people do not have access to it.
41. Lord Woolf describes the British court system as a nightmare because
A) many people are trapped in its procedures
B) it takes at least 3 years before any court decision is made
C) it is expensive and inefficient
D) it is irresponsible and indifferent
42. As a result of the high costs of civil litigation,
A) the poor are actually not protected by law
B) few people in Britain go to court
C) justice is hardly existent in Britain
D) most people can not afford to go to court
43. In order to avoid the delay of cases, Lord Woolf suggests that
A) lawyer' s fees be reduced B) judges take over the control of litigation
C) lawyers no longer set the pace D) the court prescribes a time limit for each case
44. Lord Woolf's remedy is opposed to by lawyers because __
A) the cheaper a thing is, the poorer the quality will be
B) the court will restrict their ability to represent their client' s interests
C) the costs to the state of the system as a whole will probably rise
D) the lack of money and time will result in a decline in the quality of their work
45. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the last sentence of the passage?
A) In dealing with any legal cases, the finest legal system is not necessarily the most efficient if people do not have faith in it.
B) It is not always the case that the best legal system is still able to provide justice even if most people do not have access to it.
C) Whatever happens, the finest legal system in the world will not do people justice if people do not go to court.
D) No matter how good a legal system is, it would not be able to perform its duty if people are denied access to it.
Passage 4.
What kind of human being will the future spaceman be?
Will he need bones of steel and powerful muscles to resist rocket thrust, the lungs of a glass blower (玻璃吹制工人), a mighty heart, the 'calmness of an acrobat (杂技演员), unconscious death urges, or a schizophrenic (患精神分裂症的) drive toward isolation? Popular ideas of a spaceman tend to be funny composites of fiction and fact.
A more realistic portrait emerges from the young science of bioastronautics, the newest and strangest of medical disciplines. The astronaut may be described as a youngish man of high intelligence who is normal to an abnormal degree. On earth he may well have been a high diver, high jumper, pole vaulter (撑竿跳运动员 ), or acrobat. He must be highly motivated, carefully
trained, and he must want to come back.
His heart and lungs must be healthy but need not be exceptionally developed, for his cabin will be pressurized. Huge muscles may actually be disadvantageous, for he will have almost no way to get exercise, and he will find that the strength of a year-old child is adequate in the weightlessness of space. A firm body and a short, strong neck will help him to withstand the tremendous forces encountered at take-off. Most important physically, his digestive system must be one that will not be upset by weightlessness; he must not be subject to motion sickness.
46. All the following are popular beliefs about the future spaceman EXCEPT that __
A) faced with isolation, he is brave enough and not liable to go mad
B) he needs to have a strong death complex
C) he must have strong bones and powerful muscles
D) he must be cool-headed
47. Which of the following will NOT be considered by the author as a more realistic image of the future spaceman?
A) He must have superior intelligence. B) He is young~
C) He should have a strong desire to survive. D) He doesn't get upset easily.
48. Bioastronautics is mostly related to __
A) literature C) biology
B) the science of medicine D) disciplines and regulations
49. "normal to an abnormal degree" (Para. 3) means" ".
A) seemingly normal but actually abnormal
B) so ordinary that he is undistinguished in every way
C) extremely healthy, and there is nothing abnormal with him
D) so normal that no one believes it is true
50. To the future spaceman, what is most physically important is that
A) his vital capacity must be as great at a glass blower's
B) he must have a short and firm neck
C) his heart must be comparatively large
D) his digestive system should not be upset by weightlessness
