Part II
Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions:
There are 4 reading 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 centre.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following
passage:
In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows
have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And
anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style
and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content,
while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry
Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash
talk (废话)". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking
can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of
love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different
level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of
society's moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up
the intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people's lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its
extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on
the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics
range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work
week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous
waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final
word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the
show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something
very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's
main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people
have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher
problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association
with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose
main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers.
They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned
underneath the show's exploitation.
While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have
ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a
different audience while both have a strong following from large groups
of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk
show world.
21. Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and
the Oprah Winfrey are _____.
A) more family-oriented C) more profound
B) unusually popular D) relatively formal
22. Though the social problems Jerry Springer
talks about appear distasteful, the audience _____.
A) remain fascinated by them C) remain indifferent to them
B) are ready to face up to them D) are willing to get involved in
them
23. Which of the following is likely to be a
topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A) A new type of robot. C) Family budget planning.
B) Racist hatred. D) Street violence.
24. Despite their different approaches, the two
talk shows are both _____.
A) ironical C) instructive
B) sensitive D) cynical
25. We can learn from the passage that the two
talk shows _____.
A) have monopolized the talk show circuit C) appear at different
times of the day
B) exploit the weaknesses in human nature D) are targeted at
different audiences
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following
passage:
To understand the marketing concept, it is only
necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling.
Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the
efficient production of goods, and then relied on "persuasive
salesmanship" to move as much of these goods as possible. Such
production and selling focuses on the needs of the seller to produce
goods and then convert them into money.
Marketing, on the other hand, focuses on the wants of consumers.
It begins with first analyzing the preferences and demands of consumers
and then producing goods that will satisfy them. This
eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which
simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to
produce or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find
out what the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available
for purchase.
This concept does not imply that business is benevolent（慈善的）or
that consumer satisfaction is given priority over profit in a company.
There are always two sides to every business transaction - the firm and
the customer - and each must be satisfied before trade occurs.
Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize that the surest
route to profit is through understanding and catering to customers. A
striking example of the importance of catering to the consumer presented
itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor of its drink. The
non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion of the public
brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke, which was then
marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!
26. The marketing concept discussed in the passage is, in essence,
_____.
A) the practice of turning goods into money C) the customer-centred
approach
B) making goods available for purchase D) a form of persuasive
salesmanship
27. What was the main concern of industrialists
before the marketing concept was widely accepted?
A) The needs of the market. C) The satisfaction of the user.
B) The efficiency of production. D) The preferences of the dealer.
28. According to the passage, "to move as
much of these goods as possible" (Lines 3-4, Para. 1) means
"______".
A) to sell the largest possible amount of goods
B) to transport goods as efficiently as possible
C) to dispose of these goods in large quantities
D) to redesign these goods for large-scale production
29. What does the restoration of the Classic
Coke best illustrate?
A) Traditional goods have a stronger appeal to the majority of
people.
B) It takes time for a new product to be accepted by the public.
C) Consumers with conservative tastes are often difficult to
please.
D) Products must be designed to suit the taste of the consumer.
30. In discussing the marketing concept, the
author focuses on _____.
A) its main characteristic C) its possible consequence
B) its social impact D) its theoretical basis
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following
passage:
Conventional wisdom about conflict seems pretty
much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy (冷漠) and
stagnation (呆滞). Too much conflict leads to divisiveness (分裂)
and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict, however, can spark
creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive way.
Recent research by Professor Charles R. Schwenk, however, suggests
that the optimal level of conflict may be more complex to determine than
these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions of conflict among a
sample of executives. Some of the executives worked for profit-seeking
organizations and others for not-for-profit organizations.
Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that opinions about conflict
varied systematically as a function of the type of organization.
Specifically, managers in not-for-profit organizations strongly believed
that conflict was beneficial to their organizations and that it promoted
higher quality decision making than might be achieved in the absence of
conflict.
Managers of for-profit organizations saw a different picture. They
believed that conflict generally was damaging and usually led to
poor-quality decision making in their organizations. Schwenk interpreted
these results in terms of the criteria for effective decision making
suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking organizations,
decision-making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial
terms. The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict
enhanced financial indicators.
In the not-for-profit organizations, decision-making effectiveness
was defined from the perspective of satisfying constituents. Given the
complexities and ambiguities associated with satisfying many diverse
constituents executives perceived that conflict led to more considered
and acceptable decisions.
31. In the eyes of the author, conventional opinion on conflict is
.
A) wrong C) misleading
B) oversimplified D) unclear
32. Professor Charles R. Schwenk's research
shows .
A) the advantages and disadvantages of conflict
B) the real value of conflict
C) the difficulty in determining the optimal level of conflict
D) the complexity of defining the roles of conflict
33. We can learn from Schwenk's research that .
A) a person's view of conflict is influenced by the purpose of
his organization
B) conflict is necessary for managers of for-profit organizations
C) different people resolve conflicts in different ways
D) it is impossible for people to avoid conflict
34. The passage suggests that in for-profit
organizations .
A) there is no end of conflict
B) expression of different opinions is encouraged
C) decisions must be justifiable
D) success lies in general agreement
35. People working in a not-for-profit
organization .
A) seem to be difficult to satisfy C) are less effective in
making decisions
B) are free to express diverse opinions D) find it easier to
reach agreement
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following
passage:
Imagine eating everything delicious you want -
with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldn't it?
New "fake fat" products appeared on store shelves in the
United States recently, but not everyone is happy about it. Makers of
the products, which contain a compound called olestra, say food
manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics,
however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and
nutrients (营养物) and can also cause unpleasant side effects in some
people. So it's up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free
products taste good enough to keep eating.
Chemists discovered olestra in the late 1960s, when they were
searching for a fat that could be digested by infants more easily.
Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created a fat that
can't be digested at all.
Normally, special chemicals in the intestines (肠)
"grab" molecules of regular fat and break them down so they
can be used by the body. A molecule of regular fat is made up of three
molecules of substances called fatty acids.
The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines and bring with them
the essential vitamins A, D, E, and K. When fat molecules are present in
the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins attach to the
molecules and are carried into the bloodstream.
Olestra, which is made from six to eight molecules of fatty acids,
is too large for the intestines to absorb. It just slides through the
intestines without being broken down. Manufacturers say it's that
ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that makes olestra so
valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with the taste of
regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics say olestra
can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It can also
prevent the absorption of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), compounds that
may reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease, etc.
Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D, E, and K as well as
carotenoids to their products now. Even so, some nutritionists are still
concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made with the
fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they are
consuming.
36. We learn from the passage that olestra is a substance that
______.
A) contains plenty of nutrients
B) renders foods calorie-free while retaining their vitamins
C) makes foods easily digestible
D) makes foods fat-free while keeping them delicious
37. The result of the search for an easily
digestible fat turned out to be ______.
A) commercially useless C) somewhat controversial
B) just as anticipated D) quite unexpected
38. Olestra is different from ordinary fats in
that ______.
A) it passes through the intestines without being absorbed
B) it facilitates the absorption of vitamins by the body
C) it helps reduce the incidence of heart disease
D) it prevents excessive intake of vitamins
39. What is a possible negative effect of
olestra according to some critics?
A) It may impair the digestive system. C) It may increase the
risk of cancer.
B) It may affect the overall fat intake. D) It may spoil the
consumers' appetite.
40. Why are nutritionists concerned about adding
vitamins to olestra?
A) It may lead to the over-consumption of vitamins.
B) People may be induced to eat more than is necessary.
C) The function of the intestines may be weakened.
D) It may trigger a new wave of fake food production.

3. the
Until the very latest moment
of his existence, man has been bound to the planet on which he
originated and developed. Now he had the capability to leave
that planet and move out into the universe to those worlds which
he has known previously only directly. Men have explored parts
of the moon, put spaceships in orbit around another planet and
possibly within the decade will land into another planet and
explore it. Can we be too bold as to suggest that we may be able
to colonize other planet within the not-too-distant future? Some
have advocated such a procedure as a solution to the population
problem: ship the excess people off to the moon. But we must
keep in head the billions of dollars we might spend in carrying
out the project. To maintain the earth's population at its
present level, we would have to blast off into space 7,500
people every hour of every day of the year.
Why are we spending so little money on space exploration?
Consider the great need for improving many aspects of the global
environment, one is surely justified in his concern for the
money and resources that they are poured into the space
exploration efforts. But perhaps we should look at both sides of
the coin before arriving hasty conclusions. |
