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 center.

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Acculturation, which begins at birth, is the process of

teaching new generations of children the customs and values of the

parents culture. How people treat newborns, for example, can be

indicative of cultural values. In the United States it is not

uncommon for parents to put a newborn in a separate room that belongs

only to the child. This helps to preserve parents privacy and allows

the child to get used to having his or her own room, which is seen

as a first step toward personal independence. Americans

traditionally have held independence and a closely related value,

individualism, in high esteem. Parents try to instill these

prevailing values in their children. American English expresses

these value preferences: children should cut the (umbilical) cord

and are encouraged not to be tied to their mothers apron strings.

In the process of their socialization children learn to look out

for number one and to stand on their own two feet。

Many children are taught at a very early age to make decisions

and be responsible for their actions. Often children work for money

outside the home as a first step to establishing autonomy. Nine-or

ten-year-old children may deliver newspapers in their

neighborhoods and save or spend their earnings. Teenagers (13 to

18 years) may baby-sit neighbors homes in order to earn a few dollar

a week. Receiving a weekly allowance at an early age teaches

children to budget their money, preparing them for future financial

independence. Many parents believe that managing money helps

children learn responsibility as well as appreciate the value of

money.

24、 American people often let their children work for money

25、 It can be inferred from this passage that _____.

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Many people believe that the glare from snow causes

snowblindness. Yet, dark glasses or not, they find themselves

suffering from headaches and watering eyes, and even snowblindness,

when exposed to several hours of snow light。

The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow

does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country.

Rather, a mans eyes frequently find nothing to focus on in a broad

expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually

shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search

of something to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes

never stop searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye

muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more and

more fluid which covers the eyeballs. The fluid covers the eyeball

in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obscured, and

the result is total, even though temporary, snowblindness.

Experiments led to the Army to a simple method of overcoming

this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to

shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they

cross completely snow-covered landscape. Even the scouts

themselves throw lightweight, dark colored objects ahead on which

they too can focus. The men following can then see something. Their

gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found

something to see, stop scouring the snow-blanketed landscape. By

focusing their attention on one object at a time, the men can cross

the snow without becoming hopelessly snowblind or lost. In this way

the problem of crossing a solid white terrain is overcome.

26、 To prevent headache, watering eyes and blindness caused

by the glare from snow, dark glasses are _____.

A) indispensable

B) useful

C) ineffective

D) available

27、 When the eyes are sore tears are produced to _____.

A) clear the vision

B) remedy snowblindness

C) ease the irritation

D) loosen the muscles

28、 Snowblindness may be avoided by _____.

A) concentrating on the solid white terrain

B) searching for something to look at in snow-covered terrain

C) providing the eyes with something to focus on

D) covering the eyeballs with fluid

29、 The eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache because

_____.

A) tears cover the eyeballs

B) the eyes are irritated by blinding sunlight

C) the eyes are irritated by blinding snow

D) there is nothing to focus on

30、 A suitable title for the passage would be _____.

A) Snowblindness and How to Overcome It

B) Natures Cure for Snowblindness

C) Soldiers in the Snow

D) Snow Vision

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised

mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part

of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U.S. Conference of

Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest

growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children

gather in inner cities; this transient and frequently frightened

student population creates additional problems-both legal and

educational-for already overburdened urban school administrators

and teachers.

Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from

350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of

homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of

Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are

220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not

attend school on a regular basis. But the National Coalition for

the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many

homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school

regularly.

One part of the homeless population that is particularly

difficult to count consists of the throwaway youths who have been

cast off their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City

estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not

counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and

tend to live by themselves on the streets.

Federal law, the Stewart McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of

1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of

homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act

are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right

to a free, appropriate education.

31、 In 1987, the American homeless population was made up of

_____.

A) older males B) school children

C) adults D) both A and B

32、 The author implies in the first paragraph that _____.

A) the homeless population is growing rapidly

B) there is serious shortage of school administrators and

teachers

C) homeless children often move from place to place

D) homeless children usually stay outside schools

33、 The National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that

there are _____ homeless children.

A) 7000,000 B) 350,000

C) 440,000 D) 70,000

34、 One part of the homeless population is difficult to count.

The reason might be that _____.

A) homeless children live on the streets

B) homeless children have no parents

C) the homeless are too young to be counted as children

D) the homeless children are not taken as members of their

families

35、 The aim of the McKinney Act is to _____.

A) offer education for homeless children

B) provide family shelters for homeless children

C) reduce the number of homeless children

D) estimate the number of homeless population

Passage Four

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have

only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of

being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are

always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores.

Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside

because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only

a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe（衣柜） packed

full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.

Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional

creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year

to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot

afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time

altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened;

necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.

No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything

really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned

with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability（耐用）。 They

are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage

of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort,

as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at

some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a

thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through

deep snow in high-heeled shoes.

When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the

conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing

fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities

of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves

be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress

reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for

you to decide.

36、 Designers and big stores always make money 。

A) by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing

industry

B) because they are capable of predicting new fashions

C) by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothing

D) because they attach great importance to quality in womens

clothing

37、 To the writer, the fact that women alter their

old-fashioned dresses is seen as 。

A) a waste of money B) a waste of time

C) an expression of taste D) an expression of creativity

38、 The writer would be less critical if fashion designers

placed more stress on the of clothing.

A) cost B) appearance

C) comfort D) suitability

39、 According to the passage, which of the following statements

is TRUE?

A) New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial

exploitation of women.

B) The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their

strength of character.

C) The fashion industry makes an important contribution to

society.

D) Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only

welcomed by women.

40、 By saying the conclusions to be drawn are obvious (Lines

1-2, Para. 4) the writer means that 。

A) womens inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often

laughed at

B) women are better able to put up with discomfort

C) men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers

D) men are more stable and reliable in character
