Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 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.
For years, doctors advised their patients that the only thing taking
multivitamins does is give them expensive urine (尿).
After all, true vitamin deficiencies are practically unheard of in
industrialized countries. Now it seems those doctors may have been wrong.
The results of a growing number of studies suggest that even a modest
vitamin shortfall can be harmful to your health. Although proof of the
benefits of multivitamins is still far from certain, the few dollars you
spend on them is probably a good investment.
Or at least that's the argument put forward in the New England Journal
of Medicine. Ideally, say Dr. Walter Willett and Dr. Meir Stampfer of
Harvard, all vitamin supplements would be evaluated in scientifically
rigorous clinical trials. But those studies can take a long time and often
raise more questions than they answer. At some point, while researchers work
on figuring out where the truth lies, it just makes sense to say the
potential benefit outweighs the cost.
The best evidence to date concerns folate, one of the B vitamins. It's
been proved to limit the number of defects in embryos (
胚胎
), and a recent trial found that folate in combination with vitamin B 12 and
a form of B6 also decreases the re-blockage of arteries after surgical
repair.
The news on vitamin E has been more mixed. Healthy folks who take 400
international units daily for at least two years appear somewhat less likely
to develop heart disease. But when doctors give vitamin E to patients who
already have heart disease, the vitamin doesn’t seem to help. It may turn
out that vitamin E plays a role in prevention but cannot undo serious
damage.
Despite vitamin C's great popularity, consuming large amounts of it
still has not been positively linked to any great benefit. The body quickly
becomes saturated with C and simply excretes (
排泄
) any excess.
The multivitamins question boils down to this: Do you need to wait until
all the evidence is in before you take them, or are you willing to accept
that there's enough evidence that they don't hurt and could help?
If the latter, there's no need to go to extremes and buy the biggest
'horse pills or the most expensive bottles. Large doses can cause trouble,
including excessive bleeding and nervous system problems.
Multivitamins are no substitute for exercise and a balanced diet, of
course. As long as you understand that any potential benefit is modest and
subject to further refinement, taking a daily multivitamin makes a lot of
sense.
21. At one time doctors discouraged taking multivitamins because they
believed that multivitamins____.
A) could not easily be absorbed by the human body
B) were potentially harmful to people's health
C) were too expensive for daily consumption
D) could not provide any cure for vitamin deficiencies
22. According to the author, clinical trials of vitamin supplements____.
A) often result in misleading conclusions
B) take time and will not produce conclusive results
C) should be conducted by scientists on a larger scale
D) appear to be a sheer waste of time and resources
23. It has been found that vitamin E_____.
A) should be taken by patients regularly and persistently
B) can effectively reduce the recurrence of heart disease
C) has a preventive but not curative effect on heart disease
D) should be given to patients with heart disease as early as possible
24. It can be seen that large doses of multivitamins_____.
A) may bring about serious side effects
B) may help prevent excessive bleeding
C) are likely to induce the blockage of arteries
D) are advisable for those with vitamin deficiencies
25. The author concludes the passage with the advice that_____.
A) the benefit of daily multivitamin intake outweighs that of exercise and a
balanced diet
B) it's risky to take multivitamins without knowing their specific function
C) the potential benefit of multivitamins can never be overestimated
D) it's reasonable to take a rational dose of multivitamins daily
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge (
剧增
) of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women,
according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse (
反面
) of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck
household could encourage marriages. In the past, only the earnings and
financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now,
however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a
marriage partner. Data shows that economic downturns tend to postpone
marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are
concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy rebounds, the number of
marriages also rises.
Coincident with the increase in women working outside, the home is the
increase in divorce rates. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple
cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife's work on divorce is no
less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she
can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will
choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally
plausible. Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in
ending a marriage. Given high unemployment, inflationary problems, and slow
growth in real earnings, a working wife can increase household income and
relieve some of these pressing financial burdens. By raising a family's
standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family's financial and
emotional stability.
Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife
blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may
view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can
find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go
together to create a stronger and more stable union.
Also, a major part of women's inequality in marriage has been due to the
fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. With
higher earning capacity and status occupations outside of the home comes the
capacity to exercise power within file family. A working wife may rob a
husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple
reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership
or it could create new insecurities.
26. The word "portend" (Line 2, Para. 1) is closest in meaning to " _____" .
A) defy B) signal C) suffer from D) result from
27. It is said in the passage that when the economy slides,_____.
A) men would choose working women as their marriage partners
B) more women would get married to seek financial security
C) even working women would worry about their marriages
D) more people would prefer to remain single for the time being
28. If women find fulfillment through work outside the home,_____.
A) they are more likely to dominate their marriage partners
B) their husbands are expected to do more housework
C) their marriage ties can be strengthened
D) they tend to put their career before marriage
29. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that_____.
A) they feel that they have been robbed of their freedom
B) they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbands
C) they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectations
D) they tend to suspect their husbands' loyalty to their marriage
30. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author's view
in the passage?
A) The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic
situation of the country.
B) Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle for real
equality in marriage.
C) In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home and
remain independent
D) The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case
to case.
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage,
For most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that
there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the
essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but
there was agreement that such an essence exists —— that is to say, that
there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a
rational being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a
symbol-making animal.
More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One
reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical
approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that
man in our epoch is so different from man in previous times that it seemed
unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something
that can be called "human nature." The historical approach was reinforced,
particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural
anthropology ( 人类学
). The study of primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of
customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at
the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture
writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the
assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been
abused as a shield behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the
name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the
eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality
and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make
a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as innate (
天生的
) human traits. Popularly, one refers cynically to "human nature" in
accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed,
murder, cheating and lying.
Another reason for skepticism about the concept of human nature probably
lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as
developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is
contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely
from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the
problem of the nature of man.
31. The traditional view of "human nature" was strongly challenged by_____.
A) the emergence of the evolutionary theory
B) the historical approach to man
C) new insight into human behavior
D) the philosophical analysis of slavery
32. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings_____
A) have some traits in common
B) are born with diverse cultures
C) are born without a fixed nature
D) change their characters as they grow up
33. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order
to_____
A) emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of "human
nature"
B) show that the concept of "human nature" was used to justify social evils
C) prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of "human nature"
D) support the idea that some human traits are acquired
34. The word "untenable" (Line 3) in the last paragraph of the passage most
probably means_____
A) invaluable B) imaginable C) changeable D) indefensible
35. Most philosophers believed that human nature_____
A) is the quality distinguishing man from other animals
B) consists of competitiveness and selfishness
C) is something partly innate and partly acquired
D) consists of rationality and undesirable behavior
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.
Richard Satava, program manager for advanced medical technologies, has
been a driving force in bringing virtual reality to medicine, where
computers create a "virtual" or simulated environment for surgeons and other
medical practitioners (
从业者 ).
"With virtual reality we'll be able to put a surgeon in every trench,"
said Satava. He envisaged a time when soldiers who are wounded fighting
overseas are put in mobile surgical units equipped with computers.
The computers would transmit images of the soldiers to surgeons back in
the U.S. The surgeons would look at the soldiers through virtual reality
helmets ( 头盔)
that contain a small screen displaying the image of the wound. The doctors
would guide robotic instruments in the battlefield mobile surgical unit that
operate on the soldier.
Although Satava's vision may be years away from standard operating
procedure, scientists are progressing toward virtual reality surgery.
Engineers at an international organization in California are developing a
tele-operating device. As surgeons watch a three-dimensional image of the
surgery, they move instruments that are connected to a computer, which
passes their movements to robotic instruments that perform the surgery. The
computer provides, feedback to the surgeon on force, textures, and sound.
These technological wonders may not yet be part of the community
hospital setting but increasingly some of the machinery is finding its way
into civilian medicine. At Wayne State University Medical School, surgeon
Lucia Zamorano takes images of the brain from computerized scans and uses a
computer program to produce a 3-D image. She can then maneuver the 3-D image
on the computer screen to map the shortest, least invasive surgical path to
the rumor (肿瘤).
Zamorano is also using technology that attaches a probe to surgical
instruments so that she can track their positions. While cutting away a
tumor deep in the brain, she watches the movement of her surgical tools in a
computer graphics image of the patient's brain taken before surgery.
During these procedures —— operations that are done through small cuts
in the body in which a miniature camera and surgical tools are maneuvered ——
surgeons are wearing 3-D glasses for a better view. And they are commanding
robot surgeons to cut away tissue more accurately than human surgeons can.
Satava says, "We are in the midst of a fundamental change in the field
of medicine."
36. According to Richard Satava, the application of virtual reality to
medicine _____
A) will enable surgeons to be physically present on every battlefield
B) can raise the spirits of soldiers wounded on the battlefield
C) will greatly improve medical conditions on the battlefield
D) can shorten the time for operations on soldiers wounded on the
battlefield
37. Richard Satava has visions of_____
A) using a remote-control technique to treat wounded soldiers fighting
overseas
B) wounded soldiers being saved by doctors wearing virtual reality helmets
on the battlefield
C) wounded soldiers being operated on by specially trained surgeons
D) setting up mobile surgical units overseas
38. How is virtual reality surgery performed?
A) It is performed by a computer-designed high precision device.
B) Surgeons wear virtual reality helmets to receive feedback provided by a
computer.
C) Surgeons move robotic instruments by means of a computer linked to them.
D) A 3-D image records the movements of the surgeons during the operation.
39. During virtual reality operations, the surgeon can have a better view of
the cuts in the body because _____.
A) he is looking at the cuts on a computer screen
B) the cuts can be examined from different angles
C) the cuts have been highly magnified
D) he is wearing 3-D glasses
40. Virtual reality operations are an improvement on conventional surgery in
that they
A) cause less pain to the wounded
B) allow the patient to recover more quickly
C) will make human surgeons' work less tedious
D) are done by robot surgeons with greater precision

Part IV Error Correction (15 minutes)
Directions: This part consists of a short passage, in this passage, there
are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to
change a word，
add a word or delete a word. Mark out the mistakes and put the corrections
in the blanks provided. If you change a word, cross it out and write the
correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion
mark (∧
) in the right place and write the missing word in the blank, lf you delete
a word, cross it out and put a slash (/) in the blank.
Example:
Television is rapidly becoming the literature of our periods Many of the
arguments having— used for the study of literature as a school subject are
valid for∧ study
of television.
Thomas Malthus published his “Essay on the Principle of Population” almost
200 years ago. Ever since then, forecasters have being warning that
worldwide famine was just around the next corner. The fast-growing
population's demand for food, they warned, would soon exceed their supply,
leading to widespread food shortages and starvation.
But in reality, the world’s total grain harvest has risen steadily over the
years. Except for relative isolated troublespots like present-day Somalia,
and occasional years of good harvests, the world's food crisis has remained
just around the corner. Most experts believe this can continue even as if
the population doubles by the mid-21st century, although feeding I0 billion
people will not be easy for politics, economic and environmental reasons.
Optimists point to concrete examples of continued improvements in yield.
In Africa, by instance, improved seed, more fertilizer and advanced growing
practices have more than double corn and wheat yields in an experiment.
Elsewhere, rice experts in the Philippines are producing a plant with few
stems and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant breeders can continue
to develop new, higher-yielding crop, but most researchers see their success
to date as reason for hope.

Section B
Passage One
The Golden Gate Bridge joins the beautiful city of San Francisco with the
suburbs to the north. Each day about one hundred thousand automobiles cross
the bridge taking people to and from the city. More than half of them cross
the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours when traffic is so
heavy the trip is not pleasant. Now however there is at least one group of
happy commuters. These are the people who travel under the bridge instead of
on it. They go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say
they will never go by car again. The ferry they take is spacious, quiet and
comfortable. Commuters can enjoy the sun on deck. In the morning they can
have breakfast in the coffee shop. And in the evening they can order a drink
in the bar while looking at the beautiful scenery. The trip takes only 30
minutes and is not very costly. Best of all, being on a boat seems to make
people more friendly toward each other. There has already been a marriage of
two commuters who met on the ferry. Because the ferry has been so
successful, there are plans to use other still larger boats. There is also a
proposal for a high speed boat that will make the trip in only 15 minutes.
But not everyone is happy about that. A lot of people feel that half an hour
is just enough time to relax.
Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
11. According to the speaker how do commuters feel about crossing the Golden
Gate Bridge by car?
12. What does the speaker say about ferry commuters?
13. How do commuters respond to plans for the future of the ferry?
A) Many welcome the idea of having more bars on board.
Passage Two
How many teeth have you had filled in the past two years? If you follow the
advice of Dr. Faustick you may be able to reduce the number of your visits
to a dentist. Dr. Faustick conducted a two-year survey to find out how to
prevent or reduce dental decay. 946 students took part in an experiment. 523
students cleaned their teeth within ten minutes of eating when possible they
used a toothbrush, when this was impossible they washed their mouth
thoroughly with water. The remaining 423 students merely cleaned their teeth
when they went to bed and when they got up in the morning. All the students
had their teeth X-rayed at the end of the first and second years. At the end
of the first year, the night and morning group had three times as many
decayed teeth as the clean after each meal group. At the end of the second
year the latter group had 53 percent fewer decayed teeth than the former
group. Dr. Faustick has cleaned his teeth after meal for thirteen years and
has not had a single decayed tooth. He pointed out that sugar is a major
agent in dental decay. Particularly the sugar in sweets, cakes, and soft
drinks. Ideally you should keep a tooth brush in your pocket and use it
immediately after you have finished eating. When this is impractical you can
at least make sure that you have a drink of water and let the water through
your teeth to force out any particles of food. 7 of out 10 people loose at
least half of their teeth by the time they are fifty. Many have a complete
set of false teeth by that time. In any case neither toothache nor a visit
to a dentist is very pleasant. So it is worthwhile making an effort to keep
you own teeth as long as possible. The main preventative agent is simply
water.
Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
14. According to the passage what kind of food is most likely to cause
dental decay?
15. What does the passage tell us about the condition of Dr. Faustick's
teeth?
16. What does Dr. Faustick suggest to prevent dental decay?
Passage Three
The worldwide Organization of the Red Cross stems from the ideal of Henri
Dunant, a Swiss Banker. In 1838 at the age of ten, Dunant was taken by his
father to visit a prison, there he saw prisoners chained together exercising
in the yard and breaking stones along the road. This experience left a deep
impression on him. And made him determined to do something for convicts and
slaves and for all who were oppressed and deprived of their liberty. On 24th
June 1859 while on his way from Geneva to France, Dunant witnessed the
battle between the French and Austrian armies. It was one of the fiercest
battles of the 19th century. Shocked by the lack of medical supplies and
attention given to the wounded, Dunant decided that volunteer service had to
be organized. He gathered together a number of women who attended the
hundreds of wounded soldiers of all nationalities and helped the surgeons as
best they could. From that battle Dunant determined to form a body of people
who would rally together in times of war and attend to the needs of wounded
and dying. Dunant held that a suffering human being should be helped for his
own sake only and without regard to race, religion, or political beliefs.
Many Europeans states supported him and 22nd August 1864 the first Geneva
Convention was signed. This lays down that once a soldier is wounded he and
everyone else who comes to his help ceases to be an enemy. A symbol by which
the relief workers could be recognized was devised. As a tribute to
Switzerland, the symbol was the Swiss flag was reversed. That is a red cross
on a white ground. So the Red Cross was born.
Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
17. What first led Henri Dunant to think of helping the oppressed?
18. What did Henri Dunant do during the battle between the French and
Austrian armies?
19. What was Henri Dunant's belief when he found the Red Cross?
20. What was Henri Dunant's belief when he found the Red Cross?
Part II Vocabulary and
Structure
Passage One
本文是一篇科普说明文，主要讲述了维生素的弊端和益处。尽管维生素的好处还没有被充分发掘，但是，缺乏维生素会带来身体的不适，然而，文章同时也表明过量的服食维生素同样会带来害处。各种维生素的用处不一样，维生素E可以预防心脏病但是不能起到治疗的作用，而过量的维生素C也不会被身体吸收。因此每天服用适量的维生素是大有裨益的。
Difficult Sentences
1. Although proof of the benefits of multivitamins is still far from
certain, the few dollars you spend on them is probably a good investment.
尽管关于维生素的好处迄今为止还没有完全发现，但是花一些钱来购买维生素很可能是一项划算的投资。
2. If the latter, there's no need to go to extremes and buy the biggest
'horse pills or the most expensive bottles.
如果后者成立的话，那么就没有必要走极端去买大量的药片或者昂贵的瓶瓶罐罐。
Notes
21.答案为A）
这是一道细节判断题。文章第一段第一句话说
“For years, doctors advised their patients that the only thing taking
multivitamins does is give them expensive urine.”由此可见，很多年以来，医生认为维生素是只有在特定情况下才需要服用的。
A)符合题意；B）文中并没有说医生认为服用维生素是有害的，因此不对；C），D）都没有被提到。
22.答案为B）
这是一道细节题。见文章第二段第三行
“ But those studies can take a long time and often raise more questions than
they answer.”表示这些研究不仅不能解决问题，反而会带来更多的问题。与答案B)完全符合。
23. 答案为C）
这也是一道细节题，主要考查维生素E的一些特点。具体见第四段最后一句话
“It
may turn out that vitamin E plays a role in prevention but cannot undo
serious damage.” 意味着维生素E可以预防心脏病但是不能起到治疗的作用。答案C）符合题意。
24. 答案为A）
这也是一道考查细节的题目。详见第七段最后一句话
“
Large doses can cause trouble, including excessive bleeding and nervous
system problems.”答案A）是对这句话的最好诠释。其他答案都曲解了这句话或者断章取义。

a daily multivitamin makes a lot of sense,意思是每天服用一些维生素将会大有裨益。答案D）和这个意思最为贴切。
Passage Two
本文内容涉及妇女参与工作挣钱对于家庭的影响这个颇受争议的话题。文章对这个问题有两种截然不同的观点，一种认为会使婚姻受到威胁，另一种认为会促成更多的婚姻。文章还将妇女工作和经济问题联系起来；同时也探讨了其与离婚的关系。最后，文章讨论了妇女和男士由于赚钱能力造成的地位不平等问题。
Difficult Sentences
1. Data shows that economic downturns tend to postpone marriage because the
parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy
days ahead.

2．Yet,
it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusion.

days ahead.”

这是一道主旨题，综合考虑全文的观点。本文持有一种中立的叙述者的态度，它承认对于这个问题有很多不同的意见，因此应该依具体的情况而定。D）为正确答案；A）、B)、
C)
都并不是文章持有或者支持的观点。
Passage Three
本文探讨和置疑了千百年来被人们所接受的关于“人性”的基本假说。最近一种新的历史方法表明每个阶段人们差别很大，进而对“人性”的假说提出怀疑。其次，这个假说易于被一些心怀不轨的人加以利用，再者，演进的思想也进一步怀疑了“人性”假说的可靠性。
Difficult Sentences
1. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a
fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield
behind which the most inhuman acts are committed.
另一个事实也为这个否定人性的基本假定的倾向增加了砝码，即这个概念常常被滥用，成为一些不人道的行为的盾牌。
2．Or
in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of
society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness,
competitiveness, and selfishness as innate human traits.

‘human
nature’”.这表明人们生来是没有固定的“人性”的。A）与议题相悖；B)
、D)在文中没有被提到。
33. 答案为B）
这是一道细节辨析题。详见第二段第十一行
“Aristotle
and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order
to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society,
scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and
selfishness as innate human traits.”由此可知，这个概念被滥用了，作为一些邪恶的行为的借口。A)、
C)、
D)都和原意不贴切。
34. 答案为D）
这是一道单词意义辨析题。
“untenable”是“站不住脚的，不能维持的”之意，与第四项最为相近。A）没有价值的；B）可以改变的；C）可以想象的，三项均不合题意。
35. 答案为A）
这道题考查对文章的理解程度，具有一定的引申意义。详见第一段最后一句话。人类被定义为一种理性的存在，是一种社会动物，可以制造工具，是一个创造象征意义的动物。由此可知，这些内在特征将人类和动物分开了。B)是不对的，这是一个反例；
C）、D)
文章没有提到。
