Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 30 points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.The place of the child in society has varied for thousands of years and has been affected by different cultures and religions. In ancient times unwanted children were occasionally abandoned, put to death, exploited, or offered for religious sacrifices, and in any event a large percentage of them didnt survive their physically hazardous existence to achieve maturity. In Western civilization within the last few hundred years, there have been many changes in attitude toward the young. In agricultural Europe , and later with the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the children of the poor worked long hours for little or no pay, and there was no public concern for their safety or welfare. Punishment could be brutal and severe, and sometimes religious passions were expressed violently with a view toward saving the childs soul. By the eighteenth century the harsh, deterministic, doctrinaire methods began to show some change. Society slowly accorded children a role of more importance. Books were written expressly for them and gradually laws were passed for their protection. In the past few decades parents have become more attentive to the needs of their children. Better health care is available and education is no longer reserved for a limited few. With so many now able to go to college, many educators feel that we have too many students and too few competent scholars. Some say the pendulum in child rearing has swung so far toward permissiveness that many children are growing up alienated from society and with no respect for law or parental authority. The tendency today is for teachers and parents to emphasize individual responsibility and to stress that educational goals for students should be tailored to their chosen vocations rather than provide a generalized higher education.51.What does the article say about children?A.They have always been the hope of mankind.; B.In certain periods of history no one cared about them.; C.In the mid-eighteenth century western attitudes toward children began to change.; D.There were laws barring child labor during the industrial revolution. 52.What does the article say about children in ancient times?A.They were often cruelly beaten.; B.At times they were used as sacrificial offerings.; C.People who didnt want children usually murdered them.; D.Though they were abused or neglected by their parents, children survived to adulthood with little difficulty. 53.What changes have occurred in the past few decades with regard to the childs place in society?A.Child raising has become more permissive.; B.Public health care has improved so much that children now need no particular health care.; C.Children are becoming more intelligent.; D.Children are becoming more respectful toward their parents. 54.What is the present trend in child discipline and education?A.Giving as many young people as possible a popular generalized college education.; B.Creating more regimentation of the individual.; C.Teaching children to conform to rigorous rules.; D.Emphasizing individual responsibility. 55.Implied, but not directly stated, is the followingA.Methods used to treat children in the past were worse than those at present.; B.There are laws passed for protection of children.; C.Parents pay more attention to the needs of their children.; D.Many books have been written for children. When you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambitions (志向). In most cases, you will visit a likely employers office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested. The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of the application form and a personal interview.Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job-seeking situations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs. These better jobs often request written letters of application and summaries of your background and experience. Your writing skills may an important part in obtaining the job you desire.In any job-seeking situation, there are a number of ways you may use your writing skills: to complete an application form, prepare a resume, write an application letter, or write employment follow-up letters. As an ambitious job-seeker, therefore, you should be able to prepare all the written material that will help you obtain the job you want.56.According to the passage, in seeking a job ,the students_.A.will follow their interests and ambition; B.like to visit every employers office; C.can make an arrangement for an interview; D.will surely get a chance to improve position 57.If you want to improve your position and find a good job, it is important to_.A.understand the application form of the company; B.improve your writing skills; C.make a decision on the basis of your own desire; D.get a job related to your education 58.To find a job, it is not necessary to supply_.A.a letter of application; B.a letter for an interview; C.an application form; D.a resume 59.Your application for a job should mainly inform the employer of your_.A.present position and income; B.ability in letter writing; C.background and experience; D.decision to apply for the job 60.What may be the best title for this passage?A.How to Complete a Job Application Form; B.An Introduction to Job-seeking Situations; C.An Attempt to Find Better Jobs; D.Writing Skills Help Job-seeking What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living? Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter. To get these necessities on regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which would probably also be included as basic, such as health and education facilities.We may think of all of these as our needs. Yet most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these which are supplied for us. We all enjoy extra income to spend on things like books, sports or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to pay for future expense of this type on holidays. So we must add our wants to our basic needs. Our standard of living is the degree, to which these needs and wants are satisfied.But as time goes on, what we think of as our basic needs changes. Twenty years ago a television would have been a luxury, and still is in many countries now. Even now we cannot say it is a need in the same sense as food, clothing and shelter. Yet if most of the people of a country have one, it comes to be accepted as a need. It is possible therefore to have food, clothing and shelter and still be poor by the standards of our own society.61.What we need in life is divided into _ according to this article.A.the basic necessities and luxury; B.many kinds of need such as food, clothing and houses; C.four groups the basic necessities, luxury, reliable income and future expense; D.the basic necessities and reliable income 62.A person who gets the basic necessities must _ according to the writer.A.have a reliable income; B.learn how to please his manager; C.finish his work ahead the time; D.get a good education 63.We all enjoy _. A.having only reliable income. B.having reliable income and extra income. C.having nothing more than food and clothing. D.having nothing more than reliable income. 64.With time going on, A.a luxury may change into a need which most people want to get.; B.the basic needs are getting smaller and smaller.; C.a luxury and the basic needs can be exchanged.; D.the basic needs can be changed into a luxury. 65.If most of the people of a country have a television, weA.can say the television is a need in the same sense as food and clothing and shelter.; B.can say the television must be in the basic necessities.; C.cannot say the television is in the basic necessities.; D.can say every family must have one.
