used a method called acupuncture 针灸 to perform operations for about 4 000 years without putting the patient to sleep This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training But to be skillful requires greater time The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed A particular operation might require 25 or more needles placed in various parts of the body But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles Today the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture They are trying to develop convincing theory to explain how the needles work in preventing pain or why a needle in the wrist for example would prevent the pain in the area of the mouth A patient who needs an operation is given a choice between having acupuncture or having one of the chemicals used for putting him to sleep It has been estimated that over half of the patients choose acupuncture because there is no sickness after the operation but the chemical may make the patient sick for a few hours or a day 21 Acupuncture is A a medical operation B a medical

stated in the passage s A The Chinese mainly use acupuncture to cure strange disease B The Chinese are learning to be more skillful and efficient in acupuncture C The Chinese have spread acupuncture all over the world D Most Chinese patients prefer acupuncture to chemicals in curing diseases 参考答案 B Passage Three Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment 招聘 Years of studying interviewing have made clear that it is not a very objective process Personnel officers often hire the person they like most or even the one they think most physically attractive Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well however Uglies or those who are aesthetically challenged lose heart To get a more objective view many companies are also using psychological tests to hire both for relatively routine jobs and for positions at senior levels of management It is impossible to say how many employers use tests but estimates of test sales in the UK for 1993 were over 1 million The basic reason employers use tests is clear tests claim to be scientific and objective A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection People s judgment is often very subjective whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about would be employee If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate an employer is likely to think twice about hiring him Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a game like test You can spend just a little time in answering questions of that kind of test and you deny the answers and say they are not accurate But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you cannot afford to be denied and eliminated again and again 26 In the past

make the recruitment more difficult for candidates D to get really reliable and fair information about candidates 参考答案 D 29 That kind of test in the last paragraph refers to A an interview B a serious test C a game like test D an objective test 参考答案 C 30 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage A For a certain time psychological tests and interviews will exist together B Psychological tests have been recognized valuable more and more C The employer will surely hire a person who does well in the interview but poorly in the psychological tests D People seldom attend a serious test without enough preparation unless they are confident of it 参考答案 C Passage Four In the United States it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning If you telephone him early in the day while he is shaving or having breakfast the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11 00 p m If someone receives a call during sleeping hours he assumes it s a matter of life or death The time chosen for the call communicates its importance In social life time plays a very important part In the U S A guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date But it is not true in all countries In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world Thus misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently Promptness is valued highly in American life for example If people are not prompt they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible In the U S no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour it would be too impolite A person who is 5 minutes late he will say a few words of explanation though perhaps he will not complete the sentence 31 The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11 00 p m Here attached
