II. Cloze (1point for each, altogether 20 points)
Directions: Decide which of the choices given belowwould best complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks. Write your answers on the answer sheet.
Some people are lucky enough to be bornwith a good sense of direction and even if they have 31visiteda place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate peoplewho have a very 32sense of direction and I may have visiteda place time after time but I still manage to get 33onmy way there.
When I was young I was 34shythat I never dared ask complete strangers35and so I used to wanderround in circles and hope that by some36I would get to the spot Iwas heading for.
I am 37tooshy to ask people for directions, but I often receive replies that puzzle me.Often people do not like to admit that they do not know their hometown and willinsist 38tellingyou the way even if they do not know it; others, 39areanxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long 40ofdirections which you cannot possibly hope to remember; and 41othersdo not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you findin the end that you are going in the42direction to that 43youshould be going.
If anyone ever asks me the waysomewhere, I always tell them that I am a stranger to the town in order toavoid44them wrong directions, but even this canhave embarrassing(令人难堪的)results.
Once I was on my way to work 45Iwas stopped by a man who asked me 46I would direct him to the Sunlight Building. I gave my 47reply,but I had not walked on a few steps when I48hat he had asked fordirections to my office building.
However, at this point, I decided itwas too late to turn back and search him out of the crowd behind me, as I wasgoing to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him 49.
Imagine my embarrassment when mysecretary showed in the 50man who had asked for directions to myoffice and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

III. ReadingComprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points)
Directions: There are 4 passages followed by questions.Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A,B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers onthe answer sheet.
Passage 1 Perhaps the most important definingcharacteristic of a human being is culture. The term culture as used here isnot limited to operas, paintings, and other artistic endeavors. These are seenby anthropologists (人类学家) as examples of culture: cultureitself is the customary manner in which human groups learn to organize theirbehavior and thought in relation to their environment. Defined in this manner,culture has three principal aspects: behavioral, perceptual and material. Thebehavioral component refers to how people act, especially how they interactwith each other. In child rearing (养育) , for example, parents andchildren tend to interact in a relatively patterned fashion. Then there is themanner of perception, the ways people perceive the world. For example, parentshave a limited range of ideas about how they should act, and what significanceparenthood carries in the scheme of things. Finally, there is the materialcomponent of culture — the physical objects that we produce.
Most of what goes into making up cultureis a result of learning — modifying behavior in response to experience withinan environment. Learning is practically universal among organisms. But no otherorganism has a greater capacity for learning than a human, or depends as muchon learned behavior for its survival.
Whilethe survival of most other organisms is to some extent safeguarded byinstincts, humans rely heavily on culture for their survival. People must learnhow to live in a particular social and physical setting, biology playing but aminimal (最小限度的) role.Theideas and modes of behavior that constitute culture are transmitted largely bya complex system of symbols that includes language. Humans have evolved anextremely complex system of communication that is unique to our species.Without it the creation of human culture as we know it would be impossible.51. Whatis the definition of culture by anthropologists? _______.
Operas, paintings and may other artistic activities as a whole.
Customary manners of behavior and thought related to theenvironment.
Behavioral, perceptual and material components interacting with eachother.
The different ways people perceive the physical world.
52.According to the passage, the behavior of making tools forproducing material objects should fall within the category of_______component of culture.
behavioral
perceptual
material
artistic
53.Learning is most essential for_______.
all the organisms to survive.
all the organisms to acquire learned behavior.
human beings to respond to experience within an environment.
human beings to survive and live in a society.
54.What’s the element to human culture? _______.
Communication in language
Biological adaptation to the environment
Safeguarding by instincts.
Learning to survive

Passage 3Bombay wasn’t the ideal place to getsick — not when my doctor, family and friends were half a world away. I wasalone, quite ill and had to delay my flight home. Luckily, when booking myticket months before, I had bought travel insurance. So my illness didn’t costme a cent.It’sactually pretty simple. A lot of unforeseen things can happen to you whenyou’re traveling. Make sure you’re prepared for all of them. A good health insurance policy will getyou proper medical attention anywhere in the world outside your home province —at the insurance company’s expense. The company will send you home if it isconsidered medically necessary and, if you’re sick enough, it will send a nurseto accompany you. If you end up in a hospital and a doctor recommends that afamily member come to your bedside, the insurance company will pay for it. Youmay even get pocket money to make your hospital stay more comfortable.
When I was sick in Bombay, I called the insurance companycollect. It paid for a doctor (who came to my hotel room), all my medication,an extra night in the hotel and all my meals.
Picture it: the day before your big tripto Vancouver, you wake up with appendicitis (阑尾炎). You have no choice — you have to cancel your trip. Your ticket, likemost, is non-refundable and you can’t make any changes. You’re about to loseall the money you put out for the ticket — unless you bought cancellationinsurance beforehand.
Most travel plans include some form ofnon-refundable element: your deposit, your flights, your cruise, your stay atthe all-inclusive resort. That non-refundable portion is what you’ll lose ifyou have to cancel your trip in the event that you get sick and you don’t havecancellation insurance.

you may get pocket money from the local hospital you are in.
your family members may go to see you at the insurance company’sexpense.
you may choose to stay in the best local hospital.
you may get a nurse from the insurance company to take care of you.
61. Which item was paid by theinsurance company when the author was ill in Bombay? _______.
His trip to Bombay.
All his hotel rates.
All his meals at his hotel.
His travel insurance policy.
62. Fromthe passage we may say that_______.
a health insurance policy is more useful than a cancellationinsurance policy

Passage 4 The world’s population continuesto grow. There are about 4 billion of us on earth now. The number could reach 6billion by the end of the century and 11 billion in another 75 years. Expertshave long been concerned about such a growth. Where will we find food, water,jobs, houses, schools and health care for all these people?
A major new study shows that thesituation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world’s birth rate hastaken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now thanthey were a few years ago. It is happening in both developing and industrialnations.
Researcherssaid they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waitinglonger to get married and are using birth control devices and methods toprevent or delay pregnancy. More women are going to school or working at jobsaway from home instead of having children. And more governments, especially indeveloping nations, now support family planning programs to reduce populationgrowth.
China is one of the nations that has made greatprogress in reducing its population growth. China has already cut its rate ofpopulation growth by about one half since 1970. Each Chinese family is nowurged to have no more than one child. And the hope is to reach a zeropopulation growth with the total number of births equaling the total number ofdeaths by the year 2000.
Severalnations in Europe already have fewer birthsthan deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage ofworkers in the future. And the persons who are working could face much highertaxes to help support the growing number of retired people.

6billion
4billion
11billion
10billion
