Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  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 the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Passage One

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  A hero does something worth talking a about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. [云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it c an be used by ordinary people.

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Heroes are catalysts(催化剂) for change. they have a vision from the mountain top. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  11.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _____________________.

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  A) generally process certain inspiring characteristics   B) probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  C) they can serve as concrete examples of noble principles D) they can make people feel stronger and more confident [云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  13.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because _________ .

[云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  A) they are popular only among certain groups of people   B) their performances do not improve their fans morally [云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  D) produce leaders with attractive personalities

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

Passage Two [云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

[云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, today's traditional-age college freshmen are "more materialistic and less-altruistic (利他主义的)" than at any time in the 17 years of the poll. [云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  Not surprising in these hard times, the student's major objective "is to be financially well off. Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life." It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting. ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Interest in teaching, social service and the "altruistic" fields is at a low. On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  That's no surprise either. A friend of mine (a sales representative for a chemic al company) was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first yea r on the job-even before she completed her two-year associate degree.

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  While it's true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions- be they scientific or artistic. It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think. More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs. [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business. No company: no job. How shortsighted in the long run!

[云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the ac cumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense. I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table; one of them is talking on the  intercom (对讲机):"Miss Baxter," he says, "could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?"

[云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  From the long-term point of view, that's what education really ought to be about.

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  16.According to the author's observation, college students __________ .

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  A) have never been so materialistic as today       B) have never been so interested in the arts www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  C) have never been so financially well off as today D) have never attached so much importance to moral sense

[云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  17.The students' criteria for electing majors today have much to do with ________ .

[云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  A) the influences of their instructors           B) the financial goals they seek in life

[云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  C) their own interpretations of the courses       D) their understanding of the contributions of others www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  18.By saying "While it's true that…… be they scientific or artistic" (Lines 1-3, Para. 5),the author means that _____.

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  A) business management should be included in educational programs

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  B) human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speed [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  C) human intellectual development has reached new heights

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  D) the importance of a broad education should not be overlooked

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  19.Studying the diverse wisdom of others can ________ . ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  A) create varying artistic interests         B) help people see things in their right perspective

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  C) help improve connections among people       D) regulate the behavior of modern people www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  20.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  A) Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded. [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  B) Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong. [云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  C) People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  D) Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.转贴于:考试大_CET-4 考试 [云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

 Passage Three ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  New technology links the world as never before. Our planet has shrunk. It's now a "global village" where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone satellite link. And, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly enhanced by foreign language skills. [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  Deeply involved with this new technology is a breed of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. In modern markets, success overseas often help support domestic business efforts. ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. The executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being "out of sight and out of mind." He or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the company's plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. If an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to cope back in the United Sates where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more prevalent (普遍的). [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  Thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the United States are able to get into international markets. [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  English is still the international language of business. But there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. A second language isn't generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  The employee posted abroad who speaks the country's principal language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. The employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign clients over the telephone or by fax ma chine is an obvious asset to the firm. [云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  21.What is the author's attitude toward high-tech communications equipment? www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  A) Critical.   B) Indifferent.     C) Prejudiced.     D) Positive. www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  22.With the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, business people __________. [云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  A) have to get familiar with modern technology   B) are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  C) are attaching more importance to their overseas business     D) are eager to work overseas

[云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  23.In this passage, "out of sight and out of mind" (Lines 2-3, Para. 3) probably means ________ . [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  A) being unable to think properly for lack of insight   B) being totally out of touch with business at home

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  C) missing opportunities for promotion when abroad     D) leaving all care and worthy behind ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  A) better control the whole negotiation process       B) easily find new approaches to meet market needs www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  C) fast forward their proposals to headquarters     D) easily make friends with businesspeople abroad

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

 Passage Four [云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  In recent years, Israeli consumers have grown more demanding as they've become wealthier and more wordly-wise. Foreign travel is a national passion; this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Exposed to higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains such as KFC, McDonald's and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of telling departing customers to "Have a nice day" has caught on all over Israel. "Nobody wakes up in the morning and say, 'Let's be nicer,'" says Itsik Cohen, director of a consulting firm. "Nothing happens without competition."

www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Privatization, or the threat of it, is a motivation as well. Monopolies(垄断者) that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls "the revengeful(报复的) consumer." When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates. Says Perry, "People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service." The electric company, whose monopoly may be short-lived, has suddenly stopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repairman. Now, appointments are scheduled to the half hour. The graceless EI Al Airlines, which is already at auction(拍卖), has retrained its employees to emphasize service and is boasting about the results in an ad campaign with the slogan, "You can f eel the change in the air." For the first time, praise out numbers complaints on customer survey sheets.

  26.It may be inferred from the passage that _________ . ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  A) customer service in Israel is now improving www.ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  C) the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israel ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  A) if customer complaints go unnoticed by the management B) unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numbers [云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  C) if there's no competition among companies         D) without strict routine training of employees ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  28.If someone in Israel today needs a repairman in case of a power failure, _________ . [云南考试网]www_ynexam_cn

  A) they can have it fixed in no time           B) it's no longer necessary to make an appointment

[云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  Other animals, it is true, communicate with one another by  64  of cries: for example, many birds utter  65  calls at the approach of danger; monkeys utter  66  cries, such as expressions of anger, fear and pleasure.  67  these various means of communication differ in important ways  68  human language. For instance, animals' cries do not  69  thought s and feelings clearly. This means basically, that they lack structure. They lack the kind of structure that  70  us to divide a human utterance into  71 .

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  We can change an utterance by  72  one word in it with  73 : a good illustration of this is a soldier who can say, e.g ., "tanks approaching from the north",  74  who can change one word and say "aircraft approaching from the north" or "tanks approaching from the west"; but a bird has a single alarm cry,  75  means "danger!"

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  This is why the number of  76  that an animal can make is very limited: the great tit (山雀) is a case  77  point; it has about twenty different calls,  78  in human language the number of possible utterances is  79 . It also explai ns why animal cries are very  80  in meaning.

Section B

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  It's difficult to imagine the sea ever running out of fish. It's so vast, so deep, so mysterious. Unfortunately, it's not bottomless. Overfishing, coupled with destructive fishing practices, is killing off the fish and ruining their environment.

[云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  Destroy the fish, and you destroy the fishermen's means of living. At least 60 percent of the world's commercially important fish species are already overfish ed, or fished to the limit. As a result, governments have had to close down some areas of sea to commercial fishing.

  Big, high-tech fleets ensure that everything in their path is pulled out of water. Anything too small, or the wrong thing, is thrown back either dead or dying. That's an average of more than 20 million metric tons every year. [云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  When you consider, that equals a quarter of the world catch, you begin to see the size of the problem. [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  True, some countries are beginning to deal with this problem, but it's vital we find rational ways of fishing, before every ocean becomes a dead sea.

  写作指导:写文章之前,应该先花上一分钟时间好好地审一下题。这是一篇命题作文,题目是It Pay s to Be Honest。其中pay to意为"有利,值得"。因此文章应围绕"做人诚实非常值得"这 一主题展开。在指令中给了中文提纲,所以按照提纲,第一段应介绍当前社会存在着许多不 诚实的现象,如商人卖假货欺骗顾客,学生考试作弊欺骗老师等等,同时在这一段应表明自 己对这种现象的反感。 ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  第二段提出观点诚实利人利己,做人应该诚实。并用具体的例子来说明这一点,例子可以 是 正面的,也可以是反面的。如范文中用的就是"狼来了"的反面例子。 最后,结尾应强调 做人应该诚实,这是人的基本素质。

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  Sample Writing:It Pays to Be Honest

ynexam.cn[云南考试网]

  From the mass media and also with our own eyes, we know much dishonest behaviour existed in our society. For example, businessmen sell fake products to cheat their customers; students copy other one's homework or download illicit paper from Internet to cheat their teachers; and even worse, there are medical person produce fake medicine harming the patients. Seeing our society is filled with so man y dishonest phenomena, I can't help asking myself what's wrong with us ?

[云南考试网]网址:http://www.ynexam.cn

  When we were very young we were taught the importance of being honest. I am sure everyone must still remember that story "wolf is coming". In the story the child kept cheating other people that wolf was coming, but when the wolf really came, nobody trusted his words and he finally suffered his own dishonesty. Also w e have heard many stories that people benefit from their virtues of honesty. [云南考试网]ynexam_cn

  So since we have already known being honest benefit both ourselves and othe r people, why many of us are still dishonest? I hope everyone to bear in mind th at being honest is the basic quality of human being and then we won't be afraid of any "wolf".
