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.

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

How often do you sit still and do absolutely nothing? The usual answer these days is never, or hardly ever. As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down and unwind. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life. There is no way to avoid it, since it takes many and varied forms—driving in traffic, problems with personal relationships are all different forms of stress. Stress, in fact, is not as bad as it is often reputed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to level performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people thrive on stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others crumple at the sight of unusual difficulties.

When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we invoke the fight mechanism which in more primitive days made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however minimal the stress, it involves the same response. All the energy is diverted to cope with the stress, with the result that other function, such as digestion, are neglected.

It is when such a reaction is prolonged, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure, coronary heart disease all have established links with stress. The way stress affects a person also varies with the individual. Stress in some people produces stomach disorders, while others succumb to tension headaches. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to cope with it.

A. Both relaxation and stress are necessary for people to live a healthy and fulfilling life.

B. People often suffer unpleasant effects of stress without knowing why.

D. Stress that is considered unmanageable for some may be a stimulant for other people.

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

Industry uses water for many different purposes. The uses are commonly divided into four categories: cooling water, process water, boiler feedwater, and sanitary and service water. Cooling water is water used only for cooling without coming into contact with the product of material being processed. Process water is water that comes into contact with material being processed. Boiler feedwater is water converted to steam. Sanitary and service water is that supplied for the personal use of the employees, for cleaning plants and equipment, and for the operation of valves and other apparatus.

About 90 percent of the water withdrawn by industry is used for cooling. Fuel?electric power plants use more cooling water than all other kinds of plants combined. One might suppose that the greatest amount of water used in the fuel?electric power production is used for boiler feedwater, but such use is dwarfed by the water needed for cooling condensers. Cooling water is also used to condense many products of oil refineries and chemical plants and to protect industrial equipment from excessive heat.

Most manufacturing plants use process water at some point in the course of their operation. In some plants the material being processed is in contact with water at almost every step in its conversion to the finished product. Water also serves as a solvent for chemicals in many chemical processes; and the food industry uses large quantities of water for cleaning, cooking, and canning vegetables and meats.

Another important use of water by industry is for disposal of its waste products. At one time, streamflows were adequate to dilute, dissolve, or carry away these wastes. However, some rivers in the United States are being progressively depleted by use and overloaded with wastes. This pollution not only upsets the delicate natural balance among plants, insects, and fish, but also poses problems of water quality for the people and industries downstream.

26．What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Why does industry use the most water for cooling.

B. The conversion of raw material into finished products.

C. The disposal of waste products in industry.

D. Four basic categories of water used in industrial production.

27．Water used in industry to operate valves is called .

A. sanitation and service waterB. boiler feedwater

C. cooling waterD. process water

28．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as one of the functions of water used in industrial production?

A. coolingB. solvent for chemicals

C. carrier of waste productsD. cleaning

29．The greatest amount of cooling water is used in .

A. food industryB. fuel?electric power plant

C. chemical industryD. manufacturing industry

30. The word “depleted in the last paragraph most probably means .

A. used upB. pollutedC. flushedD. flooded

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

Some gay?bashers believe AIDS (艾滋病) is Gods way of punishing homosexuals (同性恋). Some Africans suspect it is just another of the white mans weapons of genocide (种族灭绝). Others suggested it was hatched in a biological?weapons laboratory. There has been no shortage of theories about the origins of the virus that caused the current worldwide AIDS epidemic (传染病), but most have ranged from truly bizarre to scientifically implausible at best.

African monkeys are almost certainly the source of the deadly virus. Just how the virus made the leap from its simian (猿猴的) host to people is still hotly debated, however, and the most likely explanations are far more complex, involving shifts in African society that turned an isolated disease into a plague.

Though researchers initially resisted the idea that human AIDS also came from African monkeys, that fact now seems well established. In 1991, convincing evidence was presented that the simian virus that infects sooty mangabbys, a type of monkey found in West Africa, carries virtually the same genetic material as HIV?2, one of the two strains of human AIDS virus.

One theory of how the virus traveled from monkeys to humans is based on reports that certain West Tribes injected monkey blood into their backs and thighs to heighten sexual arousal. Other researchers have referred to bizarre attempts by European doctors in the 1920s to boost the flagging (衰退的) powers of aging men with injections of monkey testicles(睾丸).

The most compelling explanation for the spread of the AIDS virus is cultural as well as biological. The actual transfer of the virus from monkeys to humans may have involved something as prosaic (平凡的) as a monkey bite or a monkey hunters nick on the hand while butchering his quarry (猎物). Some experts believe that AIDS might have died out with that hunter, or perhaps with his isolated village, had profound cultural changes not come to Africa. Over the last 30 years, the population of sub?Saharan Africa, the region hardest hit by AIDS, became increasingly urban. As in the United States, infection rates appear far higher in African cities than in rural areas. Urbanization brings many diverse people together. It appears that the AIDS virus is approximately 40 years old. That places its origin right at the beginning of the period of rapid African urban development. As with the history of plagues, tracing the precise movements of the AIDS virus through various populations is exceedingly difficult. In the end, the origin of AIDS is not the real problem; the real problem is where the disease is going.

31. Where did the deadly virus of AIDS originally come from?

A. It came from the African monkeys.

B. The virus was hatched in a biological?weapons laboratory.

C. It came from some West African tribes.

D. It came from some European doctors.

32. It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. Most theories concerning the origin of the virus of AIDS are plausible.

B. There are many theories concerning the origin of the virus of AIDS.

C. The urbanization process in the United States contributed a lot to the spread of the disease over the last 30 years.

D. The transfer of AIDS from monkeys to human beings takes place only when humans inject monkey blood into their bodies.

33. Which of the following statements is untrue?

A. The infection rate of AIDS is very high among homosexuals.

B. The purpose of injecting monkey blood and testicles into human body was to boost their sexual power.

C. Cultural, as well as biological factors contributed to the spread of the deadly virus.

D. The virus of AIDS may have died out had the Africans not hunted monkeys.

34. What explanation did the author give for the high infection rate of AIDS in the population of sub?Saharan Africa over the last 30 years?

A. Because people in that particular area commonly practice the injection of monkey blood.

B. Because during that period, the region became increasingly urban.

C. Because European doctors injected monkey testicles into their bodies.

D. Because tracing the precise movements of the AIDS virus through African populations is exceedingly difficult.

35. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the article?

A. The Urbanization of Africa Over the Last 30 Years.

B. How did the AIDS Epidemic Begin?

C. A New Breakthrough in Biology.

D. Who is to Blame?

Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

We have seen that all living things must take in and use energy to maintain their bodies, to grow, to obtain more energy, and to reproduce. Since the evolutionarily successful individual is one that leaves descendants in future generations, natural selection favors those individuals that can channel the most energy into producing offspring. The use of energy in other activities such as feeding, fighting, or growing is selectively advantageous only so far as these activities result in the organisms accumulating more energy to produce offspring.

Each individual has an energy income—all of the energy that it acquires during its lifetime. It also has an energy budget, its allotment of different amounts of energy to various activities. The most evolutionarily successful organisms are those which are most effective in conversion of energy to offspring. This does not mean that organisms use all their energy directly to produce offspring. For example, suppose that a tree converts some of its energy into growing a large root system, the energy thus spent cannot be used to produce offspring. Its large root system may enable the tree to obtain a great deal of water and minerals from the soil and so to produce more leaves, another diversion of energy away from the production of offspring. However, all of the leaves that the tree produces may then enable the tree to synthesize more food than it would have otherwise, and so allow it to make up for some of its previous energy expenditure by producing more offspring in the end. Thus organisms make energy investment which may ultimately yield energy gains that can be reinvested in the production of offspring. Sometimes these investments will turn out to be selectively disadvantageous because they postpone production of offspring. If the organism meets an early death, it will never get a chance to reproduce. So any item in an organisms energy budget must have the potential to produce an ultimate productive gain that is equal to the risks involved in diverting energy away from the immediate production of offspring.

36. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Each individual has an energy income and an energy budget as well.

B. Sometimes the investment of energy can be disadvantageous to organisms.

C. The most evolutionarily successful individual is one that directs the most energy to reproduction.

D. Any item in an organisms energy budget must have the potential of reproduction that is equal to the risks involved in diverting energy away from the reproductive process.

37. What does the word “allotment” in the second paragraph most probably mean?

A. reservationB. divisionC. productionD. accumulation

38. According to the passage, the use of energy in feeding, fighting or growing would be selectively disadvantageous when .

A. these activities dont lead to the accumulation of more energy of the organism to produce offspring

B. these activities result in the organisms accumulating more energy to produce offspring

C. these activities convert some of their energy into the production of offspring

D. these activities enable the organism to synthesize more food than it would have otherwise

39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?

A. It would be a waste of energy for organisms to use energy in non?productive activities.

B. Organisms derive most of their energy ultimately from their parents.

C. Any organism should use as little energy as possible in its non?productive activities.

D. Not all energy of an organism is used in reproduction.

Within the nineteenth century, the mechanization of farming and the fencing of range land opened the agricultural heart of North America to intensive development. For the natural geographic center of this region, Chicago became the crossroads of vast transportation network. The great waterway systems of the Mississippi valley and the Great Lakes was linked in Chicago in 1847, which the Illinois?Michigan Canal was opened to traffic. Within the next year, rail lines began to operate trains to and from the city. The raise of agricultural activity demanded facilities for the storage and milling of grain, the slaughtering of cattle, and the processing and shipment of meat. The manufacture of farm machinery branched out into the basic metal?fabricating and woodworking industries. Which soon attracted banks and another financial institutions. Four years after the end of the Civil War, Chicago was already established as the focal point of the largest system of inland waterways in the world and the hub of a rail network where extended to the Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific coasts. Productive potential of the city was unparalleled, and the pace of its industrial expansion reached explosive proportions.

Part III Short Answer Questions (15 minutes)

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).

Since the settlement of Jamestown in 1607, well over 45 million people have immigrated to the United States. Up until 1882, the policy of the United States was almost one of free and unrestricted admittance. The country was regarded as the land of the free, a haven for those oppressed by tyrants, and a place of opportunity.

Immigration of white ethnics to the United States can be viewed from the perspective of old migration and new migration. The old migration consisted of people from northern Europe who came before the 1880s. The new migration was much larger in numbers and consisted of people from Southern and Eastern Europe who came between 1880 and 1920. The ethnic groups that made up the old migration included the English, Dutch, French, Germans, Irish, Scandinavians, Scots, and Welsh. The new migration included Poles, Hungarians, Ukrainians, Russians, Italians, Greeks, Portuguese, and Armenians.

The new migration sent far more immigrants to the United States than the old migration. The earlier immigrants felt threatened by the waves of unskilled and uneducated newcomers whose appearance and culture were so different from their own. Public pressure for immigration restriction increased. After 1921 quotas were established limiting the number of people that could arrive from any particular country. The quotas were specifically designed to discriminate against potential immigrants from the southern and eastern European countries. This discriminatory immigration policy remained in effect until 1965 when a new policy was established.

In contrast to the stereotype of the European immigrant arriving at Ellis Island as in previous eras, todays immigrant is likely to be from the Orient and arrive by plane. Since 1970, Asian immigrants have been rising rapidly both in number and as a percentage of all immigrants to the United States. In fact, the United States Asian immigrant population is increasing faster than the foreign?born population from Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, and Canada combined. Europe, on the other hand, no longer sends many of its natives to Americas shores. Even with the massive immigration from Europe during their early history, only 26 percent of todays foreign born population came from Europe, and only 13 percent of them have arrived since 1980.

86. According to the author, the old migration consisted of .

87. The new migration consisted of .

88. There were a large number of immigrants to the United States from the year 1607 to 1882 because at that time the country was regarded as .

89. The earlier immigrants felt threatened by whose appearance and culture were so different from their own.

90. Todays immigrants are more likely .

Part I Error Correction

71. Within→during：介词during表示“在某段时间里”。

72. For→As：As此处是介词，表示“作为”……。比如：As director of the project, I am responsible for the failure.作为这个项目的负责人，我要为它的失败负责。

73. of∧vast→a：名词“交通运输网络(transportation network)”前面需加不定冠词A。

74. was→were：主语是复数形式，谓语动词应用复数。

75. which→when：关系代词when引导一个表示时间的非限定性定语从句。

76. raise→rise：名词raise是“涨工资”的意思。名词rise是“兴起，出现”的意思。

77. Which→This：如果用which，这个句子就不完整。但是This就可以作为主语，代上文中的一个事实，即，农业机械的生产得到了扩充，增加了生产金属和木材的工业。

78. another→other：“银行和其它一些金融机构”。Another是“另一个”，不能修饰复数名词。

79. where→that/which：限制性定语从句在修饰表示地点的名词时，需用关系副词where。但是此处不是修饰地点。所以应该用关系代词that或者which。

80. coasts.∧productive→The：名词productive potential前面要加一个定冠词，因为后面说明是特指“这个城市的”生产潜力。

Fast Food and Traditional Chinese Cuisine

Since American?style fast food was introduced into Chinese market, it has been spreading at a blazing speed. Many people like to go to McDonalds and KFC for hamburgers, French fries and ice cream, but I still prefer traditional Chinese meal.

First of all, by eating traditional Chinese meals, one can keep a well?balanced diet. Foods in McDonalds and KFC typically contain high calories and excessive calories will accumulate in the form of fat in the body and make people overweight. But a typical Chinese meal provides one with enough carbohydrates, vitamins and protein that are needed to keep the physical fitness of humans.

Also, people dont chew their food enough when they have western style fast food. This adds to the burden of their digestive system. Conversely, Chinese people typically have some tea before the main courses are served. And they dont rush themselves during the meal. This not only brings the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful meal, at the same time it makes them relax and feel better.

Therefore, although one can eat western fast food once in a while for a change, eating Chinese food is more healthy and enjoyable.
