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 center.Passage OneQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:What is good education? Is it one that covers as much as possible of human history and achievements, past and present? Or one that gives graduates the ability to find employment promptly when they leave school? Is it a broad education or a specialized one? Should it provide students with a vast collection of facts, or merely train them to think? Should a future engineer gain only the knowledge that will enable him to do his job properly, or would a richer background improve his professional ability as well as his personal life? The debate goes on, with good arguments on both sides. In the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries, the question was not even worth asking. A good education was, of course, a broad one based on the humanities. An educated man knew “something about everything”. He was familiar with the great deeds and the great ideas of the past. He had read extensively; he was able to use his own language correctly and often elegantly. He could join in any conversation about plants, planets, painters, or politics. He was at ease in the world, and he knew that his education would open to him any career that he might to try. Even if he was mostly interested in literature, he had some knowledge of the sciences and the techniques of his time. But sciences and techniques have changed a great deal since the latter part of the nineteenth century, and the world has changed too. It has become more complex and increasingly specialized. There is much more to know in every field. It is not only the scientist and the physician who need a long special training now, but the administrator, the computer expert, the accountant, and the business manager. Besides, the multiplication of college graduates has made the competition for jobs much harder than it used to be. The best qualified, the expert, wins. 16. According to the passage, what is a good education? A) Education that makes college students find employment very quickly. B) Education that provides a student with rich knowledge in every field. C) Not mentioned in the passage. D) Education that makes a person become the expert in his special field. 17. Which of the following pairs of arguments is NOT on good education? A) Education throughout history and education for students finding jobs. B) Education in broad sense and education in special sense. C) Education for examination and education for quality. D) Education for finding employment and education for commanding knowledge. 18. Which of the following statements about an educated man in the 18-19th century is NOT true? A) He was able to use his own language gracefully. B) If he was interested in literature, he had to learn some knowledge of science and technique. C) He had read various books. D) He was familiar with much knowledge in various fields. 19. What should a modern man do to find employment?A) No matter what career he wants to try, he needs a long special training. B) He needs to command all the knowledge related to his career. C) He has to read extensively. D) He should be familiar with everything in every field. 20. Why is it very difficult for a college student to find employment? A) Because college education is useless.B) Because students didnt master adequate skills. C) Because their education wouldnt open to them the career they want to try. D) Because the number of college students is increasing. Passage TwoQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.For most of the time this “conversation” goes on below the level of consciousness. At times, however, we become aware of it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is occurring between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced, our questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.Different people converse with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, interpreting, criticizing, analyzing and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that is to do not with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a “process” conversation as opposed to a “content” conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the strategies（策略）we employ in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. Not so our ability to hold a process conversation. It is precisely this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.21.Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only when _.A) the readers expectations agree with what is said in the textB) the reader has trouble understanding what the author saysC) the reader asks questions and gets answersD) the reader understands a text very well22.At a lower level of comprehension, readers tend to _.A) read a text slowlyB) read without thinking hardC) interpret a text in their own wayD) concentrate on the meaning of words only23.A “process” conversation has to do with _.A) the application of reading strategiesB) matching our expectations with the meaning of a textC) the development of our ability to check the detailsD) determining the main idea of a text24.According to the passage, it is of great importance for readers at a higher level to maintain a balance between _.A) conscious and unconscious levels of comprehensionB) the readers expectations and the meaning of a textC) lower and higher levels of comprehensionD) interpreting and criticizing a text25.If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should _.A) learn to use different approaches in reading different textsB) make our reading process more consciousC) pay more attention to the content of a textD) take a critical attitude towards the authors ideasPassage ThreeQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Dream is a story that a person “watches” or even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamers life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening.Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams.Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. But persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams.Dreams are a product of the sleepers mind. They include events and feelings that he has experienced. Most dreams are related to events of the day before the dream and strong wishes of the dreamer. Many minor incidents of the hours before sleep appear in dreams. Few events more than two days ago turn up. Deep wishes or fears especially those held since childhood often appear in dreams, and many dreams fulfill such wishes. Events in the sleepers surrounding a loud noise, for example, may become part of a dream, but they do not cause dreams.Some dreams involve deep feelings that a person may not realize he has. Psychiatrists often use material from a patients dreams to help the person understand himself better.Dreaming may help maintain good learning ability, memory, and emotional adjustment. People who get plenty of sleep but are awakened each time they begin to dream become anxious and restless.26. This passage is mainly about _.A) why we dream during sleepB) how we dream during sleepC) what dreams areD) what benefits dreams bring to people27. According to the passage, dreams results from _.A) the sleepers wishesB) the sleepers imaginationC) the sleepers feelingD) the sleepers own mind28. Which of the following is NOT true?A) Dream is a confusing story which involves little logic thought.B) Dream is related to the dreamers real life.C) Dream is an imaginary story which seems real while taking place.D) Dream involves events that always happen in real life.29. This passage suggests that psychiatrists are _.A) trying to help the dreamer recall his earlier dreamsB) trying to make the sleeper dream logicallyC) studying the benefits of dreamsD) helping the sleeper fulfill his dreams30. We may infer from the passage that dreaming _.A) is beneficial to peopleB) disturbs peoples lifeC) makes people always restlessD) deprives people of a good sleepPassage FourQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in and of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.31.The first paragraph tells us the author _.A) was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB) lost his hearing when he was a childC) didnt like his brothers and sistersD) was born to a naturalists family32.The author cant remember his relatives clearly because _.A) he didnt live very long with themB) the family was extremely largeC) he was too young when he lived with themD) he was fully occupied with observing nature33.It can be inferred from the passage that the author was _.A) a scientist as well as a naturalistB) a naturalist but not a scientistC) no more than a born naturalistD) first of all a scientist34.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _.A) has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticB) lacks some of the quali
