Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points, 1 for each)Directions: There are five 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. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.
Passage OneVery old people do raise morale problem for almost everyone who comes into contact with them. Their values—this can't be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered with small worms, and an old person, lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. Is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of？ Some social workers are the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are be?ing taken with the health and safety of the old.Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car: it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. Never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. At what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pur?suing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try on the principle that while there's life, there's hope.When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money r on health than it does on your ability to have fun
31. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that ______.A. very old people enjoy living with their relativesB. social services have nothing to do with very old peopleC. very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedomD. very old people are able to keep their room very clean 32. Some social workers think that ______.A. health and safety are more important than personal freedomB. personal freedom is more important than health and safetyC. old people should keep their rooms cleanD. one should not take risks of dealing with old people 33. In the author's opinion, ____.A. the human body can't be compared to a carB. the older a person is, the more care he needsC. too much emphasis has been put on old people's valuesD. it is easy to provide spare parts for old people 34. The word it in the last paragraph refers to ____ .A. the conclusion you have come toB. your talk to the old peopleC. whether age is happy or un pleasantD. one's money or one's health 35. The author thinks that ____.A. medical decisions for the old people should be left to the doctorsB. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very richC. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtfulD. it is always morally right to treat old people and push offPassage Two The man who brings my milk used to knock for his money for the week' s milk while I was eating breakfast on Saturday morning. Just lately he has been arriving before I get up. Staff shortages mean that four men are sharing five rounds, so he has to start earlier.Delivering milk to people's homes is scarcely good business, especially when the customer may have a choice of two or three firms serving a single road. In spite of my local difficulties, however, labour troubles are not as acute as a few years ago. There are enough men prepared to make an early morning start for the sake of an open-air job with a fair measure of freedom. If they did stop calling, women would find it hard work to collect all the milk they need from self-service stores. Dairies are aware that stopping deliveries in the United States resulted in falling sales.Marketing ideas have included introducing extra lines, in addition to dairy products, which the milkmen can carry to increase turnover. Already they have taken over many rounds given up by bakeries. One dairyman said: "It won't be long before the milkman delivers more bread than milk." Some milkmen deliver potatoes, and it seems as though diversification will be limited only by the size of the vans.So the milkman is likely to remain a familiar figure, and the dairy products he sells are unlikely to change very much in this decade. Flavoured milk is popular on the Continent. In Britain those who like it buy plain milk and add their own flavouring. Even the returnable bottle continues to be used. As long as it has a reasonable life — 30 to 40 trips are usual — the cost of collection and cleaning is worthwhile.36. The milkman now starts earlier on his delivery rounds than before becauseA. he has to collect his money for the week' s milkB. there is an increased demand for milkC. dairies are short of deliverymen and each deliveryman has to do more workD. he likes to enjoy the early morning air37. Some men choose the job of a milkman because ___. A. they like to rise earlyB.they like working out of doors, especially early in the morning C.deliverymen earn a lot of money D.delivering milk is good business38. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The milkman now delivers more bread than milk. . B. Some milkmen deliver potatoes in addition to dairy products. C. Milkmen have taken over many rounds given up by bakeries. D. One of the marketing ideas is diversification.39. According to the passage, in this decade ___. A. there will be little change in the dairy business B. flavoured milk will become popular in Britain C. people will buy milk from self-service stores D.the milkman will disappear40. It can be inferred from the passage that the milkman has disappeared ___. A. in Britain B. on the Continent C. in the United States D. in the Western WorldPassage ThreeThe school is a complex social structure, existing in its own right yet surrounded by other groups which to some extent control and influence it. Individuals in a school are subject to a variety of pressures both within the school and outside 'it. What are these influences, and where do they originate?There are four major elements which produce and receive influences: the teacher, the child, the school itself and the outer community. These four elements will influence and be / influenced by each other at many levels in a variety of ways. The teacher, for example, brings into the school all his own habits of mind, attitudes, beliefs, values, ways of doing things and seeing the world which he was inherited from the society in which he was brought up. These factors will influence the children, the school and the community outside. The child brings into. the school everything which he has learned in his family—habits, attitudes, beliefs etc. —and the teacher and the school will respond to these. The school itself is a social organization with special requirements of behavior, influenced by the generally accepted values and traditions of education, built up over the years. Both the child and the teacher must adapt themselves to these. The school influences the wider community around it, both by producing the manpower with the skills needed by society, and by shaping the beliefs and attitudes of the young entering society. As for the community, it influences the actual organization of the school through such groups as gov?ernors, parent—teacher associations, administrators etc., and in a less formal way, it is rep?resented by those working in the school, the children, the teachers and the servicing staff.With all these factors in mind, it is obvious that schools may differ greatly according to the nature of the community which they serve. Every area has its own geographical, eco?nomic and historical character which may be reflected in the school. For example, a school serving a community which is dominated by one major industry may need to organize itself according to the expectations of job opportunities which will be available to the children as they leave to find work. A school in a remote rural area may be slanted in a different di?rection. Similarly, the presence in the neighborhood of one particular social class, race or religion may be reflected in the school.41. By saying "the school is a complex social structure, " the author means that ___.A. the school is existing in a complex society B. the school is organized in much the same way that the society is organized C. the school is always controlled by influential individuals D.the school is always influenced by the people within and outside it
42. According to the author, the teacher of a school must _____ . A. understand the nature of the outer communityB. respect the children's habits, attitudes, beliefs, etc. C. meet the behavioural requirements of the school D. acquire the skills needed by the society43 .The community influences the organization of school through____.A. administrators and governorsB. teachers and childrenC. those working in the schoolD. all of the above 44. Which of the following may NOT be reflected in the school? A. The expectations of job opportunities in the nearby industry. B. The social gatherings in the neighborhood. C. The geographical character of the community. D. The religious belief of the community members.
45. From the passage we may draw the conclusion that ______. A. the four elements often influence the social structure B. the four elements are usually inseparable C. the four elements always affect each other D. the four elements may be dominated by the major industry in the communityPassage FourIn 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills. The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second |hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life — and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.46. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?A. Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C. A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.D. Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.47. The returned plastic bottles in New York used to ________.A. end up somewhere undergroundB. be turned into raw materialsC. have a second life valueD. be separated from other rubbish48. The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is ________.A. to sell them at a profitable priceB. how to turn them into useful thingsC. how to reduce their recycling costsD. to lower the prices for used materials49. Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because ________.A. local governments find it easy to manageB. recycling has great appeal for the joblessC. recycling causes little pollutionD. other methods are more expensive50. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materialsB. local governments in the U.S. can expect big profits from recyclingC. recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentallyD. landfills will still be widely used for waste disposal
