　　Part II Reading Comprehension (35minutes, 40 points)

　　Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter that indicates your choice.

　　Passage 1

　　Life is difficult.

　　This is a great truth,one of the greatest truths.It is a great truth because once we truly seethis truth,we transcend(超越)it.Once we truly know that life is difficult—once we truly understand and accept it—then life is no longer difficult.Because once it is,accepted , the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.

　　Most do not fully see this truth.Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families,their class,or even their nation.

　　What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.Problems,depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or anger or fear.These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain.And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

　　Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are theserious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said , those thinas that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

　　11.From the passage, it can be inferred that( )

　　A.everybody has problems

　　B.we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of life.

　　C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain

　　D.people like to complain about their problems

　　12.The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to____

　　A.save space B. persuade readers

　　C. make readers laugh D. get readers' attention

　　13. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that

　　A. most people feel life is easy

　　B. the writer feels life is easy

　　C. the writer likes to complain about his problems

　　D. most people complain about how hard their lives are

　　14. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to____

　　A.encourage them to learn

　　B. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problem

　　C. help them learn to deal with pain

　　D. teach them how to respect problems

　　15. The saying from Benjamin Franklin“Those things that hurt ,instruct” suggests that_____

　　A.we do not learn from experience

　　B.we do not learn when we are in pain

　　C.pain teaches us important lessons

　　D. pain cannot be avoided

　　Passage 2

　　What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say; I wish I could help you but I'm short of money myself. In fact, you are not short of money, but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don't want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?

　　A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie” such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it 1ooks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of felling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.

　　Research has also been done into the way people's behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.

　　16. This passage tells us that( )

　　A. telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeated

　　B. telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest

　　C. telling lies is sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone else's feelings

　　D. telling lies is not bad at all in most cases

　　17. In Paragraph 2, the sentence “Women are better liars than men do.” probably means( ).

　　A. women are better at telling lies than men

　　B. women liars are better accepted than men

　　C. women have a better intention when telling lies

　　D. women tell fewer lies than men do

　　18. A “white lie? ” means( ).

　　A. a lie that is completely unbelievable

　　B. a lie that is told with a good will

　　C. a lie that is always believable

　　D. a lie that often has an evil purpose

　　19. Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies( ).

　　A. from which they may gain some advantages

　　B. that seems to be believable

　　C. that women are most likely to believe

　　D. with which they can have better relationship with others

　　20. It can be concluded from the passage that( ).

　　A there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying

　　B. from some ways people behave we can know they are lying

　　C. certain emotions are proof of lying

　　D. in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest

　　Passage 3

　　Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.

　　Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the world's top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known book on the subject, “The Privileged Ones", and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little “Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich," says the 33-year- old doctor,"such as better health, education and future work prospects. But the most important is the quality of family life. Money can't buy love.

　　It can buy a 1ot of other things, however, and that' s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused Over. indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feelings of restlessness

　　“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world," adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self assured.” The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems.“However they will have a sense of isolation", warns Dr Coles,“and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that.”

　　Today's wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.

　　21. In his book “The Privileged Ones,” Dr Coles implies that( ).

　　A there are fewer problems in the rich family than the poor family

　　B. rich children live a life of separation from the world

　　C. rich children usually enjoy more love than poor children

　　D. the quality of rich children's family life may not be high

　　22. In the doctor's view, ( ).

　　A. there are both advantages and disadvantages to being rich

　　B. traveling a lot will be beneficial to children

　　C. rich children usually have little confidence in themselves

　　D. rich kids are often short of money because of their life of luxury

　　23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A. Rich children usually 1ead a life of happiness.

　　B. Rich children have earned what they have.

　　C. Rich children tend to feel isolated.

　　D. Rich children are hardly given too many material things.

　　24. According to the author of the passage,( ).

　　A life is really a long journey of joy for rich children

　　B. the rich children feel greatly satisfied with the property they inherit from their parents

　　C. it is most important for wealth parents to make sure that their families are rich in love as well as in money

　　D. today all the wealthy parents are sure of the problems their money can bring

　　25. It seems that the author of the passage( )what Dr. Coles says in the book “The Privileged Ones”

　　A. knows little about B. is doubtful about

　　C. is opposed to D. agrees with

　　Passage 4

　　Very old people do raise moral problems 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(腐爛) food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But 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, 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 being 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. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to make the old body active, 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 1ess on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.

　　26. It is implied in Paragraph 1 that( ).

　　A. very old people enjoy living with their relatives

　　B. social services have nothing to do with very old people

　　C. very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom

　　D. very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean

　　27. Some social workers think that( ).

　　A. health and safety are more important than personal freedom

　　B. personal freedom is more important than health and safety

　　C. old people should keep their rooms clean

　　D. one should not take risks dealing with old people

　　28. In the author' s opinion,( ).

　　A. the human body can't be compared to a car

　　B. the older a person is, the more care he needs

　　C. too much emphasis has been put on old people's values

　　D. it is easy to provide spare parts for old people

　　29. The word "it" in the last paragraph refers to( ).

　　A. the conclusion you have come to

　　B. whether age is happy or unpleasant

　　C. your talk to the old people

　　D. one's money or one's health

　　30. The author thinks that( ).

　　A. medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors

　　B. old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich

　　C. the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful

　　D. it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death

　　How to Memorize English Words

　　Words are the basis of learning a new language. To learn English well ,one should make efforts to memorize English words. Some people think that reciting words in the vocabulary is the best way to learn English well,while others argue that doing lots of reading is the bes tway. In my opinion，memorizing English words by using all your senses is an effective way.

　　When meeting new words, try to see,hear , smell, taste or even conceive of images to make things referred to by the words appear in your mind. Also，you can divide your task into several smaller tasks, and finish one at a time.Lastly , you can do regular revision and self-test. Without revision,you may easily forget the words you have memorized before.

　　Nothing can be achieved without action. To memorize English words well,I will try to see them in my mind, making them active and vivid. And I will review words I’ve learned every two weeks. I believe I can learn English well by making such great efforts.
