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
Just seven years ago, the Jarvik-7 artificial heart was being cheered as the model of human creativeness. The sight of Barney Clark-alive and conscious after trading his diseased heart for a metal-and-plastic pump-convinced the press, the public and many doctors that the future had arrived. It hadn't. After monitoring production of the Jarvik-7, and reviewing its effects on the 150 or so patients (most of whom got the device as a temporary measure) the U.S Food and Drug Administration concluded that the machine was doing more to endanger lives than to save them. Last week the agency cancelled its earlier approval, effectively banning (禁止) the device.
The recall may hurt Symbion Inc, maker of the Jarvik-7, but it wont end the request for an artificial heart. One problem with the banned model is that the tubes connecting it to an external power source created a passage for infection (感染). Inventors are now working on new devices that would be fully placed, along with a tiny power pack, in the patient 's chest. The first samply products aren't expected for another 10 or 20 years. But some people are already worrying that they'll work-and that America`s overextended health-care programs will lose a precious $2.5 billion to $5 billion a year providing them for a relatively few dying patients. If such expenditures (开支) cut into funding for more basic care, the net effect could actually be a decline in the nation's health.
31. According to the passage the Jarvik-7artificial heart proved to be_______.
A)a technical failure B)a technical wonder
C)a good life-saver D)an effective means to treat heart disease
32. From the passage we know that Symbion Inc ______.
A)has been banned by the government from producing artificial hearts
B)will review the effects of artificial hearts before designing new models
C)may continue to work on new models of reliable artificial hearts
D)can make new models of artificial hearts available on the market in 10 to 20 years
33. The new models of artificial hearts are expected ______.
A)to have a working life of 10 or 20 years B)to be set fully in the patient's chest
C)to be equipped with an external power source D)to create a new passage for infection
34. The word "them" in Line 7, Para. 2 refers to _____
A) doctors who treat heart diseases B) makers of artificial hearts
C) America's health-care programs D) New model of artificial hearts
35. Some people feel that______.
A)artificial hearts are seldom effective
B)the country should not spend so much money on artificial hearts
C)the country is not spending enough money on artificial hearts
D)America's health-care programs are not doing enough for the nation's health
Passage 2
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把…按能力分班) pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade ! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual (智力的) ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classroom, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share ,and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with (对付)personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyse and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher. Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them
the skills they need in order to do this efficiently . An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least ,and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.
36.In the passage the author's attitude towards ‘mixed-ability teaching, is
A)critical B)questioning C)approving D)objective
37.By‘held back,(Line 1)the author means‘,
A)made to remain in the same classes B)forced to study in the lower classes
C)drawn to their studies D)prevented from advancing
38.The author argues that a teacher's chief concern should be the development of the student'
A) personal qualities and social skills B)total personality
C)learning ability and communicative skills D)intellectual ability
39.Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED in the third paragraph?
A)Group work gives pupils the opportunity to learn to work together with others.
B)Pupils aim learn to develop their reasoning abilities.
C)Group work provides pupils with the opportunity to learn to be capable organizers.
D)Pupils also learn how to participate in teaching activities.
40.The author's purpose of writing this passage is to
A) argue for teaching bright and not-ω-bright pupils in the same class
B)recommend pair work and group work for classroom activities
C)offer advice on the proper use of the library
D)emphasize the importance of appropriate formal classroom teaching
Passage 3
If women are mercilessly exploited (剥削)year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it ,only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜)packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and soon. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth ,comfort and durability (耐用).They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort ,as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders , reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.
41.Designers and big storm always make money
A) by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B)because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C)by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing
D)because they attach great importance to quality in women's clothing
42.To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seen as
A)a waste of money B)a waste of time
C)an expression of taste D)an expression of creativity
43.The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the of clothing.
A)cost B) appearance C)comfort D)suitability
44.According to the passage ,which of the, following statements is TRUE?
A)New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
B)The constant changes in women's clothing reflect their strength of character.
C)The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society-
D)Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
45.By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious,,(Para.4,Line 13),the writer means that
A) women's inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
B)women are better able to put up with discomfort
C)men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
D)men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion
Passage 4
Taste is such a subjective matter that we don 't usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone 's preference, is that it's one person's opinion. But because the two big cola (可乐饮料)companies----Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed aggressively, we've wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either C0ca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting. We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic (传统型)or Pepsi, Diet (低糖的)Coke, or Diet Pepsi-These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand. We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers.
We eventually located 19regular cola drinkers and 27diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants 'choices with what mere gum-work would have accomplished. Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought , for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7out of 19regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse -only 7of27identified all four samples correctly . While both groups did better than chance would predict ,nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall ,half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first ,so fatigue, or taste burn out, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.
46.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to A) find out the role taste preference plays in a person's drinking B)reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers C)show that a person's opinion about taste is mere guess-work D)compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

A)Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people's two most favorite drinks
A) there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and Pepsi
B) few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from Pepsi
D)people's tastes differ from one another
48.It is implied in the first paragraph that
A)the purpose of taste tests b to promote the sale of colas
B)the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies
C)the competition between the two colas is very strong
D)blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans
49.The word "burnout"(Line4,Para.5)here refers to the state of A)being seriously burnt in the skin B)being unable to burn for lack of fuel C)being badly damaged by fire D)being unable to function because of excessive use
50.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to A)show that taste preference is highly subjective B)argue that taste testing is an important marketing strategy C)emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each other D)recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas
