For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Questions 51-55 are based on the following passage.During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to swoop at any time. A conductor with twenty years service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket. If a hurrying passenger pressed the fare into your hand as he leapt out of the back door, it was wise to tear a ticket and throw it out after him. There might be a plain-clothes inspector following in an unmarked car.I lasted about three weeks all told. The routes through town were more than the mind could stand even in the off-peaked hours. All the buses from our depot and every other depot would be crawling nose to tail through the town while the entire working population of Sydney fought to get aboard. It was hot that summer: 100 Fahrenheit every day. Inside the bus it was 30 hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet werent touching the floor. I couldnt blink the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares. At each stop it was all I could do to reach the bell-push that signaled the driver to close the automatic doors and get going. I had no way of telling whether anybody had managed to get on or off. My one object was to get that bus up Pitt Street.In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didnt even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors puffed closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late did I realize that they were emanating from within the bus. The back set of automatic doors had closed around an old ladys neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time.When I at last cottoned on to the fact that something untoward was happening and signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors, whereupon the woman dropped to the road. She was very nice about it. Perhaps the experience had temporarily dislocated her mind. Anyway she apologized to me for causing so much trouble. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had been thrown off the buses for half-executing a woman of advanced years, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly. Once again this failed to coincide with my own plans in the sense that I had already resigned. In fact, I had made my decision at about the same time as the old lady hit the ground.51. What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were forced by employees.D. They distrusted older employees.52. Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasnt tall enough.B. The bus went too fast.C. People refused to pay.D. He couldnt move.53. The old lady in the incident described _.A. was injured B. faintedC. was dragged D. hit her head54. When the incident with old lady happened, _.A. the writer had already decided to give up the jobB. the writers employers wanted to avoid publicityC. the writer was offered the chance to continueD. the consequences were as the writer expected55. What is the writers attitude to the job now?A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.Questions 56-60 are based on the following passage.Its an age-old dispute: Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. Males and females show different behaviors almost from birth. Researchers say these behaviors are due to basic differences in brain structure and activity. Studies show men are better at hitting targets and solving math problems while women are better at memorizing words and recognizing faces. Why the differences?A test of the brains electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions-one controlling the sense of space, for example, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains evolved from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim. Women had to talk to the kids.Whatever be the explanation, the battle of the sexes continues. And although their brains are constructed slightly differently, men and women may be equally capable. They may simply rely on different abilities. Take a couple arguing over the location of their car in a parking lot. The man might use his sense of space to find it, while the woman relies on her recognition of landmarks. They both find the car. But chances are that theyll still argue about whos the better driver and whos better at finding the way home.56. The first sentence means people have different ideas about whether _.A. men and women are from different planetsB. men and women dont like each otherC. there is any association between the behaviors of men and womenD. there are any association between the behaviors of men and women57. Women _.A. use both sides of the brainB. only use one side of the brainC. are more rationalD. are more capable than men58. The brains of men and women _.A. are distinctly different in structureB. evolve from ancient timesC. have different functionsD. change with the passage of time59. Men and women _.A. have the same brainsB. can be equally capableC. are equally capable of everythingD. often have quarrels with each other60. The example given at the end shows that _.A. men are all too dominatingB. women always nag about everythingC. men are better at finding their cars in the parking lotD. men and women rely on different abilities to do the same thingSection BDirections: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in a maximum of 10 words.The concept of information superhighway has been around for more than a decade, but until 1993 it was merely a technological imagination. Today information superhighway has become an everyday topic and is making its entry into our lives.Information superhighway is an unprecedented nationwide, or worldwide, electronic communications network that connects everyone to everyone else, and provides just about any sort of electronic communication imaginable. Hook up your computer to the Internet and you are on your information superhighway. The purpose of information superhighway is to provide remote electronic banking, schooling, shopping, taxpaying, game playing, video conferencing, movie ordering, medical diagnosing, etc. Information superhighway will make many things you do easier and more convenient. For example, instead of calling your friends one by one to tell them the party is canceled, youll simply send a single e-mail message to everyone at once. And if you live in a rural area far from a major hospital, telemedicine may allow a specialist in London to diagnose you without your having to travel farther than to your local physicians clinic. Information superhighway may also pull together newspaper and magazine articles from around the world on a particular topic of your own interests. If you like to shop with someone who lives in another city, you may call him and then do some shopping together for an hour or two.Whether you like it or not, information superhighway will change the way we live.61. What time has the imagination of information superhighway become true?62. According to Para. 2, information superhighway is, in fact, _.63.
