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 centre.
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:
In the world of entertainment, TV talk
shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television.
And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style
and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content,
while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer
and the Oprah Winfrey shows.
Jerry Springer could easily be considered
the king of ""trash talk (废话)"". The topics on his show are as shocking
as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show
themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a
different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation
of society''s moral catastrophes (灾难), yet people are willing to eat up the
intriguing predicaments (困境) of other people''s lives.
Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes
TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction.
The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual''s quality
of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing
your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.
Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer
show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every
show with a ""final word"". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire
moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will
learn something very valuable.
Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not
for everyone. The show''s main target audience are middle-class Americans.
Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with
life''s tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more
of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds
whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and
peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned
underneath the show''s exploitation.
While the two shows are as different as
night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now.
Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following
from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers
in the talk show world.
21. Compared with other TV talk shows,
both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _____.
A) more family-oriented C) more profound
B) unusually popular D) relatively formal
22. Though the social problems Jerry Springer
talks about appear distasteful, the audience _____.
A) remain fascinated by them C) remain
indifferent to them
B) are ready to face up to them D) are
willing to get involved in them
23. Which of the following is likely to
be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?
A) A new type of robot. C) Family budget
planning.
B) Racist hatred. D) Street violence.
24. Despite their different approaches,
the two talk shows are both _____.
A) ironical C) instructive
B) sensitive D) cynical
25. We can learn from the passage that
the two talk shows _____.
A) have monopolized the talk show circuit
C) appear at different times of the day
B) exploit the weaknesses in human nature
D) are targeted at different audiences
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:
To understand the marketing concept, it
is only necessary to understand the difference between marketing and selling.
Not too many years ago, most industries concentrated primarily on the
efficient production of goods, and then relied on ""persuasive salesmanship""
to move as much of these goods as possible. Such production and selling
focuses on the needs of the seller to produce goods and then convert them
into money.
Marketing, on the other hand, focuses
on the wants of consumers. It begins with first analyzing the preferences
and demands of consumers and then producing goods that will satisfy them.
This eye-on-the-consumer approach is known as the marketing concept, which
simply means that instead of trying to sell whatever is easiest to produce
or buy for resale, the makers and dealers first endeavor to find out what
the consumer wants to buy and then go about making it available for purchase.
This concept does not imply that business
is benevolent（慈善的）or that consumer satisfaction is given
priority over profit in a company. There are always two sides to every
business transaction - the firm and the customer - and each must be satisfied
before trade occurs. Successful merchants and producers, however, recognize
that the surest route to profit is through understanding and catering
to customers. A striking example of the importance of catering to the
consumer presented itself in mid-1985, when Coca Cola changed the flavor
of its drink. The non-acceptance of the new flavor by a significant portion
of the public brought about a prompt restoration of the Classic Coke,
which was then marketed alongside the new. King Customer ruled!
26. The marketing concept discussed in
the passage is, in essence, _____.
A) the practice of turning goods into
money C) the customer-centred approach
B) making goods available for purchase
D) a form of persuasive salesmanship
27. What was the main concern of industrialists
before the marketing concept was widely accepted?
A) The needs of the market. C) The satisfaction
of the user.
B) The efficiency of production. D) The
preferences of the dealer.
28. According to the passage, ""to move
as much of these goods as possible"" (Lines 3-4, Para. 1) means ""______"".
A) to sell the largest possible amount
of goods
B) to transport goods as efficiently as
possible
C) to dispose of these goods in large
quantities
D) to redesign these goods for large-scale
production
29. What does the restoration of the Classic
Coke best illustrate?
A) Traditional goods have a stronger appeal
to the majority of people.
B) It takes time for a new product to
be accepted by the public.
C) Consumers with conservative tastes
are often difficult to please.
D) Products must be designed to suit the
taste of the consumer.
30. In discussing the marketing concept,
the author focuses on _____.
A) its main characteristic C) its possible
consequence
B) its social impact D) its theoretical
basis
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:
Conventional wisdom about conflict seems
pretty much cut and dried. Too little conflict breeds apathy (冷漠) and stagnation (呆滞). Too much conflict leads to divisiveness
(分裂) and hostility. Moderate levels of conflict,
however, can spark creativity and motivate people in a healthy and competitive
way.
Recent research by Professor Charles R.
Schwenk, however, suggests that the optimal level of conflict may be more
complex to determine than these simple generalizations. He studied perceptions
of conflict among a sample of executives. Some of the executives worked
for profit-seeking organizations and others for not-for-profit organizations.
Somewhat surprisingly, Schwenk found that
opinions about conflict varied systematically as a function of the type
of organization. Specifically, managers in not-for-profit organizations
strongly believed that conflict was beneficial to their organizations
and that it promoted higher quality decision making than might be achieved
in the absence of conflict.
Managers of for-profit organizations saw
a different picture. They believed that conflict generally was damaging
and usually led to poor-quality decision making in their organizations.
Schwenk interpreted these results in terms of the criteria for effective
decision making suggested by the executives. In the profit-seeking organizations,
decision-making effectiveness was most often assessed in financial terms.
The executives believed that consensus rather than conflict enhanced financial
indicators.
In the not-for-profit organizations, decision-making
effectiveness was defined from the perspective of satisfying constituents.
Given the complexities and ambiguities associated with satisfying many
diverse constituents executives perceived that conflict led to more considered
and acceptable decisions.
31. In the eyes of the author, conventional
opinion on conflict is .
A) wrong C) misleading
B) oversimplified D) unclear
32. Professor Charles R. Schwenk''s research
shows .
A) the advantages and disadvantages of
conflict
B) the real value of conflict
C) the difficulty in determining the
optimal level of conflict
D) the complexity of defining the roles
of conflict
33. We can learn from Schwenk''s research
that .
A) a person''s view of conflict is influenced
by the purpose of his organization
B) conflict is necessary for managers
of for-profit organizations
C) different people resolve conflicts
in different ways
D) it is impossible for people to avoid
conflict
34. The passage suggests that in for-profit
organizations .
A) there is no end of conflict
B) expression of different opinions is
encouraged
C) decisions must be justifiable
D) success lies in general agreement
35. People working in a not-for-profit
organization .
A) seem to be difficult to satisfy C)
are less effective in making decisions
B) are free to express diverse opinions
D) find it easier to reach agreement
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
Imagine eating everything delicious you
want - with none of the fat. That would be great, wouldn''t it?
New ""fake fat"" products appeared on
store shelves in the United States recently, but not everyone is happy
about it. Makers of the products, which contain a compound called olestra,
say food manufacturers can now eliminate fat from certain foods. Critics,
however, say the new compound can rob the body of essential vitamins and
nutrients (营养物) and can also cause unpleasant side effects
in some people. So it''s up to consumers to decide whether the new fat-free
products taste good enough to keep eating.
Chemists discovered olestra in the late
1960s, when they were searching for a fat that could be digested by infants
more easily. Instead of finding the desired fat, the researchers created
a fat that can''t be digested at all.
Normally, special chemicals in the intestines
(肠) ""grab"" molecules of regular fat and
break them down so they can be used by the body. A molecule of regular
fat is made up of three molecules of substances called fatty acids.
The fatty acids are absorbed by the intestines
and bring with them the essential vitamins A, D, E, and K. When fat molecules
are present in the intestines with any of those vitamins, the vitamins
attach to the molecules and are carried into the bloodstream.
Olestra, which is made from six to eight
molecules of fatty acids, is too large for the intestines to absorb. It
just slides through the intestines without being broken down. Manufacturers
say it''s that ability to slide unchanged through the intestines that
makes olestra so valuable as a fat substitute. It provides consumers with
the taste of regular fat without any bad effects on the body. But critics
say olestra can prevent vitamins A, D, E, and K from being absorbed. It
can also prevent the absorption of carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), compounds that may reduce the risk
of cancer, heart disease, etc.
Manufacturers are adding vitamins A, D,
E, and K as well as carotenoids to their products now. Even so, some nutritionists
are still concerned that people might eat unlimited amounts of food made
with the fat substitute without worrying about how many calories they
are consuming.
36. We learn from the passage that olestra
is a substance that ______.
A) contains plenty of nutrients
B) renders foods calorie-free while retaining
their vitamins
C) makes foods easily digestible
D) makes foods fat-free while keeping
them delicious
37. The result of the search for an easily
digestible fat turned out to be ______.
A) commercially useless C) somewhat controversial
B) just as anticipated D) quite unexpected
38. Olestra is different from ordinary
fats in that ______.
A) it passes through the intestines without
being absorbed
B) it facilitates the absorption of vitamins
by the body
C) it helps reduce the incidence of heart
disease
D) it prevents excessive intake of vitamins
39. What is a possible negative effect
of olestra according to some critics?
A) It may impair the digestive system.
C) It may increase the risk of cancer.
B) It may affect the overall fat intake.
D) It may spoil the consumers'' appetite.
40. Why are nutritionists concerned about
adding vitamins to olestra?
A) It may lead to the over-consumption
of vitamins.
B) People may be induced to eat more
than is necessary.
C) The function of the intestines may
be weakened.
D) It may trigger a new wave of fake
food production.

Until the very latest moment of his existence,
man has been bound to the planet on which he originated and developed.
Now he had the capability to leave that planet and move out into the universe
to those worlds which he has known previously only directly. Men have
explored parts of the moon, put spaceships in orbit around another planet
and possibly within the decade will land into another planet and explore
it. Can we be too bold as to suggest that we may be able to colonize other
planet within the not-too-distant future? Some have advocated such a procedure
as a solution to the population problem: ship the excess people off to
the moon. But we must keep in head the billions of dollars we might spend
in carrying out the project. To maintain the earth''s population at its
present level, we would have to blast off into space 7,500 people every
hour of every day of the year.
Why are we spending so little money on
space exploration? Consider the great need for improving many aspects
of the global environment, one is surely justified in his concern for
the money and resources that they are poured into the space exploration
efforts. But perhaps we should look at both sides of the coin before arriving
hasty conclusions.
