Part II Reading Comprehension (40%)
Section A
Directions: There are 1 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 blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Do you believe that only boys do well in science? Does it seem to you that girls have better vocabularies than boys? In your opinion, are boys better at building things? If your answer to each of those questions is “Yes,” you are right according to an article in “Current Science .” There are exceptions, but here are the facts.
On the average, males score higher on tests that measure mathematical reasoning, mechanical ability, and problem-solving skills. Females show superior ability in tests measuring vocabulary, spelling, and memory. But these difference will probably not always exist. In the future, a person’s abilities may not be determined by sex. As one scientist says, “Nothing is impossible for a person to be or do.”
In several recent studies, young babies have been observed and tested to discover how different abilities are developed. A scientific team headed by Jerome Kagan, a psychologist at Harvard University, is studying the thinking ability of children 111/2 months old. The test is a simple one. The baby, while seated on its mother’s lap, watches a “show” on a theater stage.
In act I of the show, an orange-colored block is lifted from a blue box and moved slowly across the stage. Then it is returned to the box.
This is repeated six times. Act 2 is similar, except that the orange block is smaller. Baby boys do not seem to notice the difference in the size of the block, but girls immediately become excited and begin to make noises that sound like language. They seem to be trying to talk.
It is known that bones, muscles, and nerves develop faster in baby girls. Usually, too, baby girls talk at an earlier age than boys do. Scientists think there is a physical reason for this. They believe that the nerve endings in the left side of the brain develop faster in girls than in boys. And it is this side of the brain that strongly influences an individual’s ability to use words, to spell, and to remember things.
By the time they start to school, therefore, little girls have an advantage that boys do not have. Girls are physically more ready to remember facts, to spell, and to read. These, of course, are skills that are important in elementary school.
But what have the boys been doing in the years before starting school? They have been developing something called aggression. An aggressive person has courage and energy. He feels strong and independent. He is often the first one to start a fight.
14.
Concerning the difference between baby boys and girls in physical development of ability scientists believe _____.
Section B
Directions: Read the following passage and then give short answers to the five questions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.
In many businesses, computers have largely replaced paperwork, because they are fast, flexible, and do not make mistakes. As one banker said, “Unlike humans, computers never have a bad day.” And they are honest. Many banks advertise that their transactions(业务往来)are “untouched by human hands” and therefore safe from human temptation. Obviously, computers have no reason to steal money. But they also have no conscience, and the growing number of computer crimes show they can be used to steal.
Part III Cloze Test (20%)
Directions: Of the fifteen words given, choose ten words which best fill in the ten numbered blanks of the following passage. Each word can be used only once. Choose the form where necessary.writers with increases in musicians all accurately attract express upon combine well lie appeal say
How people first learned to invent words is unknown, (21) other words, the origin of language is a mystery. (22) we really know is that humans, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to (23) thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed (24) certain signs, called letters, which could be (25) to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.
The power of words, then (26) in their association---the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filed with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to tell us (27).
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which (28) powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. (29) can convey meaning in words which sing like music and which, by their position and association, can move others to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them (30), or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.
