Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer to each question. Then put your choice on the answer sheet.PART II. Reading comprehension2630: A C B C D 3135: A C B C A 3640: A C C B D 4145: B A C B D Passage OneQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: (藝術(shù)類中)Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something that has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand what he wants to teach them, and what he wants them to learn from him.What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experience into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.26. An artist hopes that the public will _. A) understand him and learn from him理解他并從他那學(xué)習(xí) B) notice only shapes and colors in his work C) teach him something D) believe what he says in his work27. It is hard to explain what a painter is saying, because he / she _. A) does not express himself / herself well B) uses unusual words and phrases C) uses shapes and colors instead of words使用形狀和顏色而不是文字 D) does not say anything clearly28. The writer points out that contemporary artists might say their choices of subject _. A) carry a message to the public B) only provide interesting patterns只提供有趣的形式 C) have no pattern or form D) teach the public important truths29. The writer also points out that contemporary當(dāng)代 art contains _. A) nothing but meaningless patterns B) uninteresting aspects of the world C) subjects chosen partly for their meanings部分詞義選擇的主題 D) completely meaningless subjects30. What is implied in this passage? A) A painting is more easily understood than a symphony. B) Art is merely the arranging of shape and color. C) Every artist tries to say something to the public. D) One must look beyond shape and color to find what the artist is saying.人們必須透過形狀顏色找到藝術(shù)家在說什么。Passage Two Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: （中）U.S. jeans maker Levi Strauss & Co. denied it was playing on consumer fears by launching a line of trousers fitted with “anti-radiation（防輻射）” pockets for mobile phones. The trousers, with a lining which the makers say shields (防護物) against radiation, are designed by Dockers, a brand name of Levi Strauss. “We are not implying in any way that mobile phones are dangerous. Our intention is not to cash in on consumer fears but provide the consumers with what they want,” Levis European communications manager Cedric Jungpeter said. The design was the fruit of extensive market research showing that the fashion conscious was also health conscious, Jungpeter said. “The debate is open. Although no study has proved mobile phones are harmful, no study has proved the contrary either,” he added. Worldwide studies into the possible dangers of mobile phones produce often conflicting conclusions. A recent one carried out by Australian researchers over a three-year period showed that radio emissions from mobile phones did not trigger the growth of tumors (腫瘤)in mice, and therefore probably did not do so in humans either. And another Australian study concluded cellular phones could foster tumor growth. Swedish research published recently concluded that long-term users of first generation mobile phones faced an up to 80 percent greater risk of developing brain tumors than non-users. But a Danish study last year of 400, 000 mobile phone users showed no increased cancer risk.31. The passage focuses on _. A) the debate on mobile phones radiation手機輻射的爭論 B) the trousers concerned with mobile phones C) the researches on mobile phones dangers D) the fruit of worldwide studies into mobile phones.32. Levi Strauss company brought out a line of trousers fitted with “anti-radiation” pockets with a view to _. A) attracting possible consumers with new fashion B) improving their efficiency by taking advantage of consumer fears C) satisfying the consumers needs for good health滿足消費者對健康的需求 D) promoting sales with peculiar fashion and advertisement33. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A) Levi Strauss company bases its products on the extensive market research. B) Levi Strauss newly-designed trousers made the mobile phones possible dangers known to the public.新設(shè)計的褲子使得手機可能的危險為公眾所知 C) Cedric Jungpeters statements aim to maintain Levi Strauss image. D) Dockers is one of the famous brands of Levi Strauss.34. The author implies暗示 that _ by declaring “The debate is open.” A) everyone may be involved in the mobile phone debate B) all studies into the possible dangers of mobile phones have not yet reached valuable conclusions C) its still a controversy whether the mobile phones are harmful.是否手機是有害的仍然存在爭論 D) consumption of mobile phones will be affected by the endless debate35. We may infer from the passage that _. A) anti-radiation trousers will fuel mobile phone debate防輻射褲子為手機爭論助燃 B) long-term users of mobile phones face a greater cancer risk than non-users C) radiation from mobile phones could foster tumor growth in mice D) anti-radiation trousers are a fearful sign that mobile phones are dangerousPassge ThreeQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. (較易) The deadly plague of 1348 -1349, commonly called the Black Death黑死病, added to the horrors of the Hundred Years War. It originated in Italy and soon spread to France, Germany and England. Those who were stricken with it usually died in two or three days. A careful estimate shows that in England one half of the population died of this disease.Up to this time the majority of those who cultivated the land in England had been serfs（農(nóng)奴）and tenant - peasants. The tenants belonged to some particular manor, paid stated dues to and performed definite services for their lords. The serfs lived an even worse life. They had to work on the nobles lands for more than half of the year. They had to pay countless dues. They had to give a certain portion of anything they got to their lords. The feudal nobles extravagant life was based on the hard labour and suffering of the tenants and serfs.The effect of the Black Death soon made itself felt. Unattached labourers began to demand higher wages. When not satisfied, they repeatedly deserted one employer after another until their demand was fulfilled. The serfs also demanded reform and an improvement of their conditions. To seek a better chance or life, serfs began to run away from their masters in increasing numbers, for they could easily get employment once they had got away. Labour was needed everywhere.36. What does “the Black Death” refer to in this passage? A) It was a kind of disease 一種疾病 瘟疫 B) It was a war C) It was a tax reform D) It was a cruel lord37. Where did the Black Death begin? A) France B) Germany C) Italy意大利 D) England38. We can infer from this passage that _. A) the Hundred Years War was a civil war in England B) the Hundred Years War ended in 1348 C) the Hundred Years War sped up the decline of feudalism百年戰(zhàn)爭加速了封建制度的衰落 D) the Hundred Years War was a war between England and Germany39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A) The main labour force in England in the Mid-14th century was made up of serfs and tenant-peasants. B) The tenants who paid stated due to their lords lived a worse life than serfs.租戶表示因為貴族他們的生活的比農(nóng)奴還糟 C) The nobles extravagant life was based on the hard labour of the tenants and serfs. D) The Black Death happened during the Hundred Years War.40. Why did labourers begin to demand higher wages? A) Because they realized the social system was unfair. B) Because they could no longer bear the miserable life. C) Because the lords oppressed more cruelly. D) Because there was a shortage of labour.因為勞工短缺的問題Passage Four Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: (較難)Traditionally, universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the community. The fundamental question, however, is how does the community want or need to be served?In recent years universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both the governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers” (象牙塔) of study separated from the realities of everyday life. University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases compelled, to provide more courses which produce graduates with the technical skills required for the commercial use. If Aristotle wanted to work in university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to maintain and develop its economic growth but “man”, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone”. Apart from requiring medical and social services, which do not directly contribute to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. In these cost-conscious times, it has even been pointed out in justification for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical play, for instance, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things. 41. We can know from the first paragraph that the author _. A) believes traditional universities have done a good job serving the community B) believes it remains to be discussed how universities should meet the needs of society大學(xué)應(yīng)該如何滿足社會需求 C) thinks some experts require too much of universities D) thinks universities should do more than just research and teaching42. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that _. A) modern society is not satisfied with the present college education現(xiàn)代社會對現(xiàn)代大學(xué)教育不滿意 B) interference from the government is unwelcome C) teachers are compelled to do what they dont like to do D) its a mistake for universities to teach courses of no commercial use43. The example of Aristotle indicates that _. A) universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates B) universities should stop teaching philosophy C) high technology is now valued more than other courses in universities在大學(xué)里高科技比其他課程更有價值 D) universities should put more stress on computer science44. According to the passage, literature, music and the arts _. A) contribute directly to economic growth B) are as necessary to man as medical and social services對人來說像媒體與社會服務(wù)同樣必要 C) are justified since they bring profits D) provide a good way of earning money45. The author implies that _. A) economy should always be a nations first priority B) universities should take cost into account when they decide what courses they will offer C) successful musical plays are part of national economy D) economic growth is not the only need of mankind經(jīng)濟增長不只是人類的唯一需求Part III Cloze (10%) （較易）Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
