Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage: China is already the world s third largest producer of electronics, and becoming a player in the global appliance market. Twenty years ago, U.S., European and Japanese companies started moving into China to supply the local market with household goods. Now those same companies are getting whipped by Chinese competitors. Over the past six years, the market share of foreign TV makers in China has dropped from 70 percent to less than 20 percent. Matsushita opened the first microwave-oven plant in China in 1995. Two years later the Chinese company Galanz started making microwaves and selling them for half Matsushita s price. Chinese companies now make more than 43 million TVs yearly. Konka, one of China s largest TV makers, sells its branded TVs in the United States, and has set up factories in Mexico to service the American market; While TCL, another major TV maker, exported11 million units from its Chinese factories last year.

Unknown Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives something different about it. Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the crossing. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children. For perception is the mind s explanation of what the senses - in this case, our eyes - tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to decide just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific method, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. 16. Seeing and perceiving are _. A. the same actionB. two actions carried on entirely by the eyes C. two separate actionsD. several actions that take place at different time 17.

Early in this century, a group of doctors was trying to discover the cause of the dangerous disease called yellow fever. At that time it was one of the worst diseases known, thousands of people were dying of it every year. It had been suggested that the disease was caused by the bite of a certain mosquito. That is, it was thought that a certain kind of mosquito would bite a person ill with yellow fever and then, flying elsewhere, bite another person and give him the disease. To prove whether or not this was true, one of the doctors, Dr. James Carroll, allowed such a mosquito to bite him after it had bitten a yellow fever patient. He knew that the bite of this 考 GCT 就上 GCT Online 5mosquito might cause his death, but he made the trial.Dr. Carroll became very ill with yellow fever but finally recovered. The risk this hero took, however, helped to save the lives of many thousands of people. He had proved that yellow fever is carried by a mosquito. 21. What is the article about as a whole A.

Yellow fever was caused by the bite of a mouse. 66D. All real heroes are found in the army. Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism , and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really” are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing, like St. Paul s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.” Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated western thought for two thousand years, believe that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoningform self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment that now forms the basis of scientific investigation. 26. The aim of controlled scientific experiments is _.A. to explain why things happen B. to explain how things happenC. to describe self-evident principles D. to support Aristotelian science 27. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years A. The speculations of Thales. B. The forces of electricity, magnetism , land gravity.

The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea _. A. that there are mysterious forces in the universe B. that man cannot discover what forces “really ” are C. that there are self-evident principlesD. that we can discover why things behave as they do 30. Modern science came into being _. A. when the method of controlled experiment was first introduced B. when Galileo succeeded in explaining: how things happen C. when Aristotelian scientists tried to explain why things happenD. when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality by reasoning Part Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.
