13、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

14、the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage oneEvery society is a dynamic system, which might be changed by internal or external factors, or both. When two different cultures are confronted with each other, there may cause a much deeper disruption(破壞) than a clash(沖突) between the

15、two societies. For instance, a tribal war in Africa is not likely to destroy one of the two cultures. But by modernization, one culture was imposed on another, and this often resulted in the latter giving the worst of two worlds. Once the damage is done, it is difficult to imagine how it can be undo

16、ne. The reality of today is that very few cultures are unaffected .It is a reality we have to recognize, so that we can start building up from there instead of trying to turn back the clock, or to “freeze” things as they are.Connecting the West, a clear distinction must be made between western cultu

17、re and the free market system. Both are obvious by connected, but they are not one and the same. In fact, the free market system sets in motion a series of changes that are escaping more and more controls from national governments. The free market has its own dynamic(動(dòng)態(tài)). For instance, if a heavy fi

18、nancial crash occurs, there is little room for governments to intervene(干涉).The ongoing globalization(全球化) of national economies makes it more and more difficult to be an island in this global stream. Even western governments can only witness how old values are lost, without being replaced by clear-

19、cut new ones. Things are not only changing, it is the rate of change that is increasing, and in these circumstances, cultural enclaves(飛地) will become fewer and smaller. Global trade, mass media, cheap transport, and information explosion: how can anything or anybody resist these?In the forces that

20、are reshaping the world, there will always be a western component, but basically we are all subjected to the free market system with its globalize trade and communication. Maybe here lies an opportunity for those who are not captured by it, to explore the possibilities of using good elements to thei

21、r advantage, and protect their societies against the negative aspects of it.Which of the following statements is true? One society can be changed by either internal or external factors.Free market system has fewer controls from national governmentsThe global stream is making more islandsAnybody can

22、resist the information explosion22. A tribal war in Africa will most probably_.destroy the two tribes totallynot destroy the two tribes at allnot destroy the cultures in the two tribes.keep on fighting till one of them wins23. In paragraph 3, the “heavy financial crash” means _.government corruption

23、(腐敗) government interferenceeconomic corruption economic crisisAccording to the author, which of the following goes very rapidly?A) The economic situations. B) The rate of changingC) Circumstances. D) Cultural enclavesThe author thinks some parts of the society can be protected because_.A) some peop

24、le are brave even though there are many difficulties in globalizationB) some people are afraid of globalization even though there is no stop for the world-reshaping.C) Some people want to use the good parts of the world-reshaping and get rid of the bad partsD) Some people do not want to be caught by

25、 other advanced nations even hough their living conditions are very poor Passage TwoThe cause of the decline of North Africa is popularly attributed to climatic changes, the theory being that the area became hotter and drier and the people were forced to abandon a thriving civilization. However, som

26、e geologists, after carefully weighing the evidence, have challenged the conclusion that the climate has changed in any important way since Roman times. Although climatic factors may also have contributed, it was man who destroyed the balance of nature responsible for maintaining soil fertility and

27、moisture(肥沃與濕度).Why is it that under certain circumstances, the plant cover is unable to regenerate itself, thus setting the stage for serious erosion(侵蝕)? To answer this question, let us take an extreme example, the destruction of tropical rain forests. In general, the equatorial(赤道的)soil is poor:

28、Forests can exist in these regions only because they are part of a balanced cycle. All that the forest produces is returned to the forest. The organic matter that falls from the trees constitutes the humus(腐植土) that the forest requires. When man cuts down all the trees to make room for crops, the so

29、il is laid bare and, deprived of shade, heats up. An increase in soil temperature increases the rate of decomposition of organic matter. Organic nitrogen（氮）is converted into soluble ammonia and nitrates（氨和硝酸鹽）,which the rains quickly leach(過(guò)濾) away. It has been calculated that a rise in temperature

30、from 77C to 78.8C may increase the loss of nitrogen by 15 to 20 pounds per acre per year. With the fertility of the soil destroyed, an irreversible change from forest to desert can be initiated.It was once thought that changes of climate adversely affected North Africa. Geologists have now this_.A)

31、confirmed B) disproved C) favored D) supportedThe evidence mentioned in line 3 evidently refers to _.A) factors not mentioned in the passage B) the soil C) climatic conditions and their influence on the land D) the nature of the earthWhat is the stated function of man in the “balanced cycle” mention

32、ed in line 4 of paragraph 2 ?A) He provides fertilizers. B) He has an adverse effect.C) He grows crops. D) He cuts down the trees.The purpose of the calculation involving an increase in temperature from 77C to 78.8C was to _.A) study the decomposition of nitrogenshow that cutting down trees produces

33、 better cropsconsider the effect of heat on the soilstudy the way in which rain causes erosion in the tropics.The change mentioned in the last sentence is called “irreversible” because, under the conditions mentioned, _.A) plants cannot reproduce effectivelyB) there is nothing that man can do to sto

34、p itC) plants find difficulty in growingdesert conditions are createdPassage ThreeOpportunities for rewarding work become fewer for both men and woman as they grow older. After age 40, job hunting becomes even more difficult. Many workers would rather stay at jobs than face the possible rejections.

35、Our youth-oriented, throw-away culture sees little value in older people. In writer Lilian Hellman words, they have “the wisdom that comes with age that we cannot make use of ”.Unemployment and economic need for work is higher among older women, especially minorities, than among younger white women.

36、 A national council reports these findings: Though unemployed longer when seeking work, older women hold a job longer with less absenteeism(缺勤)，performs as well or better, are more reliable, and more willing to learn than men or younger women. Yet many older women earn poor pay and face a future of

37、poverty in their retirement years. When “ sexism meets ageism, poverty is no longer on the doorstep it moves in ”, according to Tish somers, director of a special study on older women for the National Organization for women.Yet a 1981 report on the White House Conference on aging shows that as a gro

38、up, older Americans are the “ wealthiest, best fed, best housed, healthiest, most self-reliant older population in our history.” This statement is a small comfort to those living below the poverty line, but it does explode some of the old traditional beliefs and fears. Opportunities for moving in an

39、d up in a large company may shrink but many older people begin successful small businesses, volunteer in satisfying activities, and stay active for many years. They have few role models because in previous generations the life span was much shorter and expectations of life were fewer. They are ploug

40、hing new ground.Employers are beginning to recognize that the mature person can bring a great deal of stability and responsibility to a position. One doesnt lose ability and experience on the eve of ones 65th or 70th birthday evening more than one grows up instantly at age 21.After the age 40, _ .ma

41、ny workers tend to stick to their present jobsmost workers are tired of their present jobspeople still wish to hunt for more suitable jobspeople find their jobs more rewording than beforeFrom Hellmans remark, we can see that _. full use has been made of the wisdom of older peoplethe wisdom of older

42、people is of great value to American societyolder people are no less intelligent than young peoplethe wisdom of older people is not valued by American societyTish Somers argues that _.more people have come to believe in sexism and ageism old women usually perform better in their jobs the major cause

43、 of the poverty of older women is sexismolder women find it hard to escape povertyAccording to paragraph 3 , it can be seen that older Americans _ .have more job opportunities than young people have new opportunities to remain active in societylive below the poverty lineno longer believe in the prom

44、ise of a happy life upon a retirementIt can be concluded from the passage that the writer_ .calls attention to the living conditions of older Americans attempts to justify the youth-oriented ,throw-away culture of the USAbelieves that the value of older people is gaining increasing recognitionargues

45、 people should not retire at the age of 65 or 70Passage FourMore and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap（

46、收獲）substantial rewards. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It is easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away

47、 not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But its disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic auditing(檢查) or other security procedures. T

48、he computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.For example, a certain keypunch operator complained of having to stay overtime to punch extra cards. Investigation revealed that the extra cards she was being asked to punch were for deceitful transactions（交易

49、）.In another case, dissatisfied employees of the thief tipped off the company that was being robbed. An undercover drug agent stumbled on still another case. An employee was selling the companys products on the side and using the computer to get it shipped to the buyers. While negotiation for some d

50、rug, the drug agent was offered a good deal on a stereo!Unlike other embezzlers(盜用者，貪污者)，who must leave the country ,commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes get away with it, demanding not only that they not be prosecuted(起訴)but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps

51、 other benefits, such as severance pay. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitated at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how

52、 he modified the most confidential records right under the noses of the companys executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs to continue his crimes elsewhere.The main idea of the passage is_. why computer crimes are dif

53、ficult to detectwhy computer criminals are sometimes able to get away with their crimesthat most computer crimes revealed were discovered by chancethat it is disturbing that only a small fraction of computer crimes can be discoveredParagraph 3 implies that_ .many more computer crimes go undetected t

54、han discovered the rapid increase of computer crimes is disturbingmost computer criminals are smart enough to cover their crimesmost computer criminals captured are victims of bad luckParagraph 4 tells us about _ . the tricks of some computer criminals the motives of some computer criminalshow some

55、computer criminals committed crimeshow some computer crimes were discovered by chanceThe last paragraph implies that _. stricter laws against computer crimes should be introducedlaw procedures against computer crimes usually cost too muchcompanies tend to cover computer crimescompanies should impose

56、 restrictions to safeguard confidential informationThe phrase “tipped off” in line 3 paragraph 4 probably means _ . A) cheated B)warned C) betrayed D) investigatedPart III Vocabulary and Structure: (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are f
