The appeal of the world of work is first its freedom.The child is compelled to go to school: he is

Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions.For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET I.

Passage One

Some of the earliest diamonds known came from India. In the eighteenth century they were found in Brazil, and in 1866, huge deposits were found near Kimberley in South Africa. Though evidence of extensive diamond deposits has recently been found on Siberia, the continent of Africa still produces nearly all the world' s supply of these stones.

The most valuable diamonds are large, individual crystals of pure carbon. Less perfect forms are clusters (群)of tiny crystals. Until diamonds are cut and polished, they do not sparkle like those you see on a ring一they just look like small, blue-grey stones.

In a rather crude form, the cutting and polishing of precious stones was an art known to the Ancient Egyptians, and in the Middle Ages it became widespread in north-west Europe. However, a revolutionary change in the methods of cutting and polishing was made in 1476 when Ludwig Van Ber- quen of Bruges in Belgium invented the use of a swiftly revolving wheel with its edge faced with fine diamond powder.

Diamond itself is the only material hard enough to cut and polish-though recently, high-intensity light beams called lasers have been developed which can bore holes in them.

The trade in diamonds is not only in the valuable jewel stones but also in the industrial dia-

-19 -

monds. Zaire produces 70% of such stones. They are fixed into the rock drills used in mining and civil engineering. Diamond-faced tools are used for cutting and drilling glass and fine porcelain (瓷料),and for dentists' drills. They are used in watches and other finely balanced instruments. Perhaps you own some diamonds without knowing it一in your wrist watch!

A)for cutting and drilling hard materials B ) mainly in watches

C ) mainly for dentists' drills D)fbr a wide range of purposes

Passage Two

In only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastest growing the U.S.minority.As their children began moving up through the nation' s schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging. Their achievements are reflected in the nation' s best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U.S.with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel they will be judged more objectively.And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.

Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps.Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.

Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation.Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.

36.While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students .

A.feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English

B.are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian character

C.still worry about unfair treatment in society

D.generally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents

37.What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?

A.A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture

B.Hard work and intelligence

C.Hard help and a limited knowledge of English

D.Asian culture and the American educational system

38.Few Asian-American students major in human sciences mainly because .

A.their English is not good enough

B.they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areas

C.there is a wide difference between Asian and Western cultures

D.they know little about American culture and society

39.Why do the two “explanations” (Line 1, Para.3)worry Asian Americans?

A.They are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general

B.People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success

C.Asian Americans would be a threat to other minorities

D.American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character

40.The author's tone in this passage is .

A. sympathetic B. doubtful C. critical D. objective

Passage Three

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会)of each new skill一the first spoken words,the first independent steps,or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to huny the child beyond his natural learning rate,but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand,though,if a child is left alone too much,or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.

Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child' s own happiness.

As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德).Also,parents should realize that uexample is better than precept. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教),their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.

A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

41.Eagerly watching the child's acquisition of new skills .

A)should be avoided

B)is universal among parents

C ) sets up dangerous states of worry in the child

D) will make him lose interest in learning new things

42.In the process of children' s learning new skills parents .

A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read

B ) should not expect too much of them

C ) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own

D) should create as many learning opportunities as possible

43.The second paragraph mainly tells us that .

A)parents should be strict with their children

B)parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the community

C ) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone D) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation

44.The word “precept” ( Line 3,Para. 3)probably means'4

A ) idea B ) punishment C ) behavior D ) instruction

45.In moral matters, parents should .

A)observe the rules themselves

B)be aware of the marked difference between adults and children

C ) forbid things which have no foundation in morality

D) consistently ensure the security of their children

Passage Four

When I began reading Catch-22, I thought it was a farcical satire on life in the United States Army Air Force.Later I believed that Mr.HellerJ s target was modem war and all those who are responsible for waging it. Still later it seemed that he was attacking social organization and anyone who derives power from it. But by the end of the book it had become plain to me that it is no other phrase will

do the human condition itself which is the object of Mr. HellerJ s outraged fury and disgust.

A reviewer must always keep an anxious nye on the state of his currency. If he announces too many masterpieces he risks inflation (though it is sometimes forgotten by some of us that the cowardice of perpetual crabbing (挑剔)receives its own kind of punishment). It does not seem many weeks since I was proclaiming that Malcolm Lowry's Under the Volcano is one of the great English novels of the century ； and not long before that I was urging that attention should be paid to the magnificent and neglected talent of William Gerhardi.

But at the risk of inflation I cannot help writing that Catch-22 is the greatest satirical work in English since Erewhon.For the fact is that all my successive interpretations of this book now seem to have been accurate ,even if the earlier ones were also incomplete.The book has an immense and devastating (讽刺的) theme, but this theme is illustrated, as it should be, by means of an observed reality.

I am not suggesting that Catch-22 is a realistic account of life in the war time Air Force of

America or any other country.The method of satire is to inflate (放大)reality so that all its partially concealed blemishes (缺点)turn into monstrous and apparent deformations. The effect of good satire is to make us laugh with horror. And this means that social and personal evils which are being satirized must have been there, and must be felt by the reader to be there even while he is laughing at the re

sults of the satirist * s inflating imagination.

46.The passage seems to be from .

A.a review of a film B.a book about the U.S.Air Force

C.an essay on satire D.a review of a book

47.The writer suggests that Catch-22 is .

A.a very great English novel B.an accurate portrayal of life in wartime

C.an excellent piece of satire D.the work of a neglected author

48.The underlined partu keep an anxious eye on the state of his currency，，means .

A.take care not to be over-critical in his writing

B.watch carefully to see that nobody else takes his job

C.be careful to ensure that his comments retain their value

D.be sure that his salary keeps pace with inflation

49.Why does the writer say"at the risk of inflation”？

A.Because he feels that he might be exaggerating

B.Because he has recently praised more works than usual

C.Because he finds it hard to be objective

D.Because he feels he may not praise the work sufficiently

50.The writer suggests that good satire .

A.focuses on the horrors at the human condition

B.has little or no connection with reality

C.distorts reality so that it becomes unrecognizable

D.must be seen to be rooted in reality

Passage Five

With the invention and development of television, entertainment has grown much more visual in character and its demanding less and less use of the imagination, considered by many to be man' s greatest faculty ； but its greatest inadequacy lies in its inability to exercise just those creative powers in men which ate called upon and developed in the pursuit of a worthwhile hobby. This lack is not serious while a man is still fully employed in this day-to-day work which itself often gives him opportunities to create rather with their hands or with their minds. At this time he seeks only some form of relaxation in his leisure. There comes a time, however, when he must retire from his occupation on account of age, and it is then that these shallower pastimes, useful enough as a form of relaxation, might cease to satisfy the hitherto (迄今)active man. Today, many elderly people are finding this to be true, and seem constantly to be suffering from a sense of frustration after retirement, which reveals itself in a short temper and slow degeneration (衰退)of health ,the two most common symptoms.

51.The writer criticizes visual retirement because .

A)it doesn' t require men' s creative powers

B)it cannot improve out intelligence and skill

C)it leads men to slow degeneration in health

D)it requires men' s creative powers

52.What is regarded as men, s greatest faculty (能力，官能)？

A)Entertainment. B) Character. C) Hobbies. D) Imagination.

53.While fully employed, men look fbr .

A)visual entertainment that requires imagination in their leisure

B)opportunities to create either with their hands or with their minds in their leisure

C ) something that will help them relax in their leisure

D) creative hobbies in their leisure

54.The elderly people find .

A)that shallower pastimes can no longer satisfy them

B)it unnecessary to cultivate creative hobbies in their younger days

C ) retirement unnecessary

D) relaxation most suitable for their age

55.It can be inferred from the passage that .

A)hobbies are more important to the youth than to the elderly people

B)we should develop worthwhile hobbies when we are young

C)in ancient time entertainment was more visual in character
