Passage 1
While traveling abroad,Mr.Jackson Frank ran short of money.

In the fourth week Mr.Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.His passport was taken from him.He tried to explain the problem,but no one believed him.He was sent to prison for six days. When he came out,he went immediately to the Fisher bank.The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received $500 for me?”he ask,“My name is Jackson Frank.” The clerk checked his books.“Yes,Jackson,it’s here.It came by telegram.—let me see—oh,more than two months ago.We wondered where you were.”He showed Mr.Frank the order. The order read:“Pay Mr.Frank Jackson the sum of $500...”“But my name is Jackson Frank,not Frank Jackson.”“Oh,that’s all right,sir.It was in our books under the letter‘J’,but it’s your money.”The clerk laughed,“A human mistake,sir!We’re all human beings,aren’t we?And so we all make mistakes.A family name like Frank sounds strange to me.”Mr Frank was silent.He really wanted to hit somebody.At last he said,“A human mistake——is that what you call it?I think some humans need kicking.”

Passage 2
To most Africans,tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group.It is a force that can be both good and bad.By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family.It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group.To give a job to a fellow tribesman is not wrong;it is an obligation.Similarly,for a politician or military leader it is considered good common sense to choose his closest adviser from people of his own tribe.This ensures security,continuity, authority.Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion—from sergeant to captain,from clerk to manager—within a very short time.
Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African life.As evidence of tribalism,in 1977 in Kenya,president Jomo Kenyatta’s tribe controlled business and politics.Eight of the 21 cabinet posts,including the most important four were filled by Kikuyus.In Uganda in the same year,the president’s small Kakwa tribe filled almost all the highest government and military positions!In Agola,Ethiopia,and Nigeria,the fighting in the past ten years can be partly explained by disagreements among tribes.
40.What is the definition of tribalism?
A.Sharing among members of the extended family.
B.Giving a job to a fellow tribesman.
C.A force that can be both good and bad.
D.People have the same religious belief.
41.One example of how a tribe takes care of its own people is ____.
A.“a force that can be both good and bad”
B.“very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group”
C.“tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion”
D.it is important to be loyal to one’s own tribal group
42.In paragraph 2,“the most important four” refers to ____.
A.military position B.business C.cabinet posts D.Kikuyus
43.How many examples are there “as evidence of tribalism”?
A.Four. B.Two. C.One. D.Three.
44.According to the passage,which of the following statements is wrong?
A.Modern African politicians approve of tribal divisions.
B.A person is usually taken care of by his own tribe.
C.Africans consider it an obligation to give a job to a fellow tribesman.
D.Tribalism is still a powerful force in day-to-day African life.
Passage3
When a new movement in Art attains a certain vogue,it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at,for,however far-fetched and unreasonable their contents may seem today,it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal.With regard to Futurist poetry,however,the case is rather difficult,for whatever Futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as Literature.
This,in brief,is what the Futurist says for a century,past conditions of life have been continually speeding up,till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed.Consequently,our feelings,thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change.This speeding up of life,says the Futurist,requires a new form of expressions.We must speed up our literature too,if we want to interpret modern stress.We must pour out a cataract of essential words,unhampered by stops,or qualifying adjectives,or finite verbs.Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them;we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the same page,and shorten or lengthen words at will.
Certainly their descriptions of battles are vividly chaotic.But it is a little disconcerting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river——and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling are the weights of the officers.“Pluff!Pulff!A hundred and eighty five kilograms.”This,though it fulfills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry can hardly be classed as Literature.All the same,no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression.The whole question is really this:how we essentially changed?
45.The main idea of this selections is best expressed as ____.
A.The Past versus the future
B.Changes in modern Life
C.Merits of the Futurist movement
D.An evaluation of Futurist poetry
46.When novel ideas appear,it is desirable,according to the writer,to ____.
A.discover the aims of their adherents
B.ignore them
C.follow the fashion
D.regard them as normal
47.The Futurists claim that we must ____.
A.increase the production of literature
B.look to the future
C.develop new literary forms
D.avoid unusual words
48.The writer believes that Futurist poetry is ____.
A.too emotional
B.too new in type to be acceptable
C.not literature as he knows it
D.essential to basic change in the nature mankind
49.The futurist poet uses all the following devices EXCEPT____.
A.imitative words
B.qualifying adjectives
C.different colored inks
D.a stream of essential words
Section B Skimming and Scanning (占總分的10%)
Directions:In this section there are four passages with a total of four multiple choice questions. Skim or scan them as required and then mark your answer on your answer sheet.
Passage one
First read the following question.
50.The author’s intention is to ____.
A. tell how to decorate the house
B. stress the importance of a well-furnished home
C. define the “home”
D. advertise for a furniture company
Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.
WELCOME HOME
A home is created from a great many different elements. By you. For you. You make your decisions based on what you need and what you like, in other words, what inspires you. At IKEA, we try to inspire everyone to create a beautiful home. The idea is that you can come into any one of our stores, and stroll through our room settings and specialty shops.
Hopefully, the thousands of home furnishings and accessories you see there will give you some ideas. And in the end, you’ll find something you can not only afford to bring home. But, more importantly, want to bring home.
Passage two
First read the following question.
51.What is the writer’s main message in the passage?
A. Unemployment brings downward changes in people’s lives.
B. One should try to make the best of unemployment.
C. Many people have no problems with unemployment.
D. Unemployment results in negative psychological effects.
Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.
As more and more people lose their jobs, now is perhaps the time to consider the experience of unemployment. What are the first feelings? Well, losing a job, or not being able to find one, almost always brings unwelcome changes. If you’ve lost a job, the first feeling is often one of shock. As well as the loss of income, many people find the whole routine of their life is shattered, their contact with other people reduced, their ambitions halted and their identity as a worker removed.
At first there may be good feelings too—a new and better job is just around the corner—it’s nice to be able to lie in bed in the morning or spend more time with the children; have more time to think. But, unless a better job does turn up, the chances are the days start getting longer and time becomes harder to fill. Many people pass through periods of difficulty in sleeping and eating. They feel irritable and depressed, often isolated and lonely.
Despite all these problems though, unemployment can be a chance for a fresh start. You can discover that it provides an opportunity to sort out or rethink what you want from life and how best you can get it. You can use the time to plan how to find a new job, learn a new skill, develop your hobbies or see if you can run your own business.
Passage three
First read the following question.
52.Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Generation gap is a result of different attitudes.
B. People become far more conservative as they grow older.
C. Attitudes formed in the early twenties do not change easily.
D.Attitudes of the younger generation are different from those of their elders.
Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.
The gap in attitudes between the older and younger generations is well known. But why does the gap exist? Is it, as some believe, because people become more conservative as they age?
Or is it simply that today’s younger generation has adopted attitudes that differ from those of their elders? One researcher found that people’s ideas do change somewhat as they grow older, but they don’t change much. Attitudes formed in the late teens and early twenties are pretty stable. Thus the generation gap seems to result from each generation’s entering adulthood with different attitudes.
Passage four
First read the following question.
53.The author states that no modern newspaper ____.
A. is free of propaganda
B. is controlled by big business interests
C. separates fact and opinion
D. operates according to a code of ethics
Now read the passage below quickly and mark your answer on your ANSWER SHEET.
Daily newspaper has an editorial page. Here opinion is expressed on events and personalities in the news. But editorial judgement is so persuasively presented that many people accept these opinions as facts. Good journalists uphold a code of ethics which distinguishes between news and editorial opinion. This code holds that in an editorial column the publisher is entitled to advocate any cause he chooses. It is understood that there he is speaking as a partisan and may express any view he desires. Because a modern newspaper is so expensive to produce and so costly to establish, newspapers have increasingly become big business organizations. Although there are exceptions, these large newspapers tend to reflect the views of their owners in their editorials on economic and political matters.
In the news columns, however, the complete and unbiased facts should be reported. The better metropolitan newspapers and the great press associations usually can be relied on to keep their news impartial. But the less ethical publications often deliberately “color” the news to favor or oppose certain group or movements.

Section B Short Answer Questions (占總分的5%)
Directions: In this part there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).
Our world is filled with sounds we never hear. The human auditory(聽覺的) range is limited to begin with: if we could hear sounds lower than 20 vibrations per second, we would be driven mad by the rumblings and creakings of our muscles, intestines and heartbeats; every step we take would sound like an explosion. But even with our auditory range we select, focus, pay attention to a few sounds and blot out the rest. We are so assaulted(困擾) by sound that we continually “turn off”. But in the process we shut out the glorious symphony(交響樂) of sound in which the living world is bathed.
The sound tormented city dweller who habitually “turns off his audio” loses a dimension of social reality. Some people, for example, possess the ability to enter a crowded room and from the sounds encountered know immediately the mood, pace and direction of the group assembled. Everything becomes more real when heard as well as seen. It is, in fact, quite hard really to know a person by sight alone, without hearing his voice. And it is not just the sound of the voice that informs.
Even the rhythm of footsteps reveals age and variations of mood—delight, depression, anger, joy.
Hearing can also soothe and comfort. The snapping of logs in the fireplace, the gossipy whisper of a broom, the inquisitive wheeze of a drawer opening—all are savored sounds that make us feel at home. In a well loved home, every chair produced a different, recognizable creak, every window a different click, groan or squeak. The kitchen by itself is a source of many pleasing sounds. Every place, every event has a sound dimension.
The sense of hearing can perhaps be restored to modern man if he better understands its worth and how it works. Most people would be surprised to discover how far the sense can be pushed by cultivation. At a friend’s house recently, my wife opened her purse and some coins spilled out, one after another, onto the floor. “Three quarters, two dimes, a nickels and three pennies,” said our host as he came in from the next room. And as an after thought: “One of the quarters is silver.” He was right, down to the last penny “How did you do it?” we asked. “Try it yourself.” he said.
We did, and with a little practice we found it easy.
Curiously, evidence indicates that people need sound. When we are lost in thought, we involuntarily drum with our fingers or tap with a pencil—a reminder that we are still surrounded by a world outside ourselves. Just cutting down reflected sound can produce some odd results. The nearest thing on earth to the silence of outer space, for example, is the “anechoic chamber” at the Bell Telephone Laboratories in Burray Hills, N.J., which is lined with material that absorbs 99.98% of all reflected sound. Men who have remained in the room for more than an hour report that they feel nervous and out of touch with reality.
Questions:
S1.According to Paragraph One. Why do we blot out the sounds we don’t want to hear?
________________________________
S2.The writer believes that the rhythm of our footsteps changes as
_________________________.
S3.How many different kinds of sounds are mentioned in Paragraph 3?
________________________________
S4.What’s the main idea of Paragraphs 4 and 5?
________________________________
S5.The whole passage tells us that by ignoring most of the sound around us we miss much that could give us ____________________________.

3.Therefore,____.
答案：
PART Ⅱ READING COMPREHENSION
35.答案C。見原文第1句，“While traveling abroad,Mr.Jackson ran short of money.So he wrote to his brother,asking for $500”由此推知Mr. Jackson正在國外旅行。由“send me by telegram...”推知Mr. Jackson離其兄弟甚遠(yuǎn)，所以需電報(bào)匯款。因此答案選擇C。
36.答案B。見原文第二段第一句，“After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank...”，其中calling at即為visiting。
37.答案B。見原文第三段第一句“In the fourth week Mr. Frank was arrested for failing to pay his hotel bill.”因此得知Mr. Jackson被捕的直接原因是未能支付旅館費(fèi)用，四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均符合。使用排除法：A、D分別指出他的兄弟未匯款和他的兄弟匯款數(shù)目不足，均不正確。C他的錢丟了，更未提到，因此選擇B。
38.答案D。通讀全文知匯款到達(dá)了指定的銀行，因而只能選C或D。再考慮匯款到達(dá)的時(shí)間。根據(jù)“he was sent to prison for six days.”及“it came by telegram...more than two months ago.”知匯款在Mr. Jackson被捕前就到了。因此選擇D。
39.答案A。見原文倒數(shù)第二段“A human mistake,sir!We’re all human beings,aren’t we?...”其中易造成混淆的答案是B“because they were human beings”，這是銀行出納員給自己的錯(cuò)誤找的借口。而真正的原因是他的疏忽，因此選A。
40.答案A。見原文第一段第三句�！�By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family.”
41.答案C。見原文第一段“it makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group.”以下各句均為該句的例證。其中包括“Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion”。因此選擇C。
42.答案C。見原文第二段“Eight of the 21 cabinet posts,including the most important four...”其中the most important four指代前面剛提到的cabinet posts。因此選擇C。
43.答案D。見原文第二段“As evidence of tribalism...”以下各句均為例證。確定其數(shù)目為3。
44.答案A。見原文第二段“Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions.Yet it remains perhaps the most powerful force in day-to-day African ife”因此推知現(xiàn)今非洲領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人反對種族分離，只是這種現(xiàn)象仍客現(xiàn)存在。因此選擇A。
45.答案D。該題考查對全文大意的領(lǐng)會(huì)。A、B、C雖或多或少提及過，但作為全文大意過于片面。全文作者主要談?wù)摿藗�(gè)人對未來派詩歌的看法。因此選擇D。
46.答案A。見原文第一段第一句“When a new movement in Art attains a certain vogue,it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at.”由此推知正確答案為A。其中advocate和adherent同義，即為倡導(dǎo)者，支持者。
47.答案C。見原文第二段，“This speeding up of life,says the futurist,requires a new form of expression.”A項(xiàng)增加文藝的產(chǎn)出與課文中的“speed up our literature”意思有差異，B項(xiàng)展望未來不是未來派文藝家的主要觀點(diǎn)；D項(xiàng)避免使用生辟詞匯則與未來派觀點(diǎn)相反。因此選擇C。
48.答案C。見原文第一段最后一句，“...it can hardly be classified as Literature.”及最后一段第一句“This...can hardly be classed as Literature.”由此知作者認(rèn)為難以將未來派詩歌劃歸為文學(xué)。因此選擇C，A、B、D均不能全面地反映作者的意圖。
49.答案B。見原文第二段最后一句“We must pour out a cataract of essential words,unhampered by stops,or qualifying adjectives...”，由此推知正確答案為B。其中unhamper意為不受…限制，阻礙。
50.答案D。閱讀此文章可以看出這是一篇廣告。文中措詞有一定的鼓動(dòng)性，泛指you 的使用更增加了親切感。
51.答案B。文章最后一段是本文的主題段。作者用意在鼓勵(lì)失業(yè)者，盡管失業(yè)帶來很多負(fù)面影響，但這也是一個(gè)人重新設(shè)計(jì)自己的機(jī)會(huì)。選項(xiàng)A、D只是文中所談的失業(yè)感受的消極方面。選項(xiàng)C與文中第一句意思相悖。
52.答案B。此題為細(xì)節(jié)題。文中提到人生觀的形成關(guān)鍵在步入成年期的二十歲左右。一研究結(jié)果表明此時(shí)的觀念已基本定型，以后隨時(shí)間的流逝，觀念會(huì)稍有改變，但不會(huì)有很大變化。
53.答案A。作者在文中指出，由于創(chuàng)辦報(bào)紙成本高，現(xiàn)代報(bào)紙已越來越成為巨大的商業(yè)組織。在遵守行業(yè)規(guī)范、新聞報(bào)道力求公正客觀的同時(shí)，會(huì)在報(bào)紙社論中發(fā)表報(bào)紙主人的觀點(diǎn)，受商業(yè)利益的影響。故正確答案為A。

What Would Happen If There were No Power
Ever since early the last century,electricity has become an essential part of our modern life.Our industrial and agricultural production depends on it to run various kinds of machines.The modern wonder computers work on electricity too.It provides light,heat and power for us.If we want to watch TV or films or to listen to the radios we also need it.Nobody can deny that the development of our civilization depends on electricity.If there were no electric power,our modern world would be in trouble.For one thing all the wheels would stop because the motors that power the machines would fail.For another,many,if not all,of our industries would cease production.All the world transport system,in addition,would be felt on the world’s communication systems.Thus our modern world would be impossible without electricity.
Therefore,we should make better use of electric power. On the other hand,we should educate people to economize using electricity and not to waste the energy resources with no thought for the future.At the same time we must do our best to exploit more electric resources to meet the requirements of the human beings and to avoid energy crisis in the future.
