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. Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Have you ever considered what an important part work plays in our general lifestyle? For most of us, our jobs are the main things that motivate and direct us, and around which we organize our lives. Perhaps this stress on work began with our Puritan forebears, who believed that the best way to serve God was through honest hard work, or perhaps our fundamental belief in work stems from a time when this country was young and we needed people who believed in hard work to carry out the arduous business of pioneering. Whatever the reason, it is undeniable that work is important to us. Think about the situation that arises when you meet someone and try to learn more about him or her. An early question is very frequently something such as, What do you do? or Where do you work? This kind of question usually follows Whats your name? and is now so common with us that we do not stop to wonder why we ask it. But, you know, it is very possible that in the future the question will disappear, and we might very well ask instead, What do you play? Computers and other technological equipment are making jobs more automated and less personally demanding. Scientists tell us that one day in the foreseeable future, very few people will have to work. Our society will be run by computers and we will have a great deal more free time, so that our games will become more important than our jobs. At the beginning of this century, almost everybody believed in work. But by the end of this century, we might be thinking quite differently. Today, people are divided into social classes in accordance with the types of work they do; tomorrow, it is more than likely we will be divided according to the types of games we play. This change in the use of our time may give rise to a new race of therapeutists called “fun specialists, who will fill the same functions as our current career specialists. They will show us how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time. Someday people will no longer be known primarily by the work they do. 21. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Work plays an important part in our general lifestyle. B. It is very possible that game will replace work as the most important part in our life. C. People are divided into social classes in accordance with the types or work they do. D. Game players know how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time. 22. What can be inferred from the passage about people in the early days of the nations history? A. They had strong belief in honest hard work. B. They had a great deal more free time than we do now. C. They were divided according to the games they played. D. They were known primarily by the work they did. 23. What is true about people in the future according to the passage? A. They usually ask “Whats your name? when they first meet. B. They will have “fun specialists to advise them on what games are best to play. C. They have a great deal more free time than we do because they use computers to run their society. D. They attach a great deal of importance to the work they do. 24. What do career specialists do? A. They create job opportunities for the unemployed. B. They show people how important work is. C. They show people games are more important than work. D. They show people what kinds of jobs are most suitable to them. 25. What is true about games according to the passage? A. Puritans had no games in their lives in the early history of their nation. B. Games are more important than jobs to us. C. Games will be the primary concern of the people in the future. D. People will no longer depend on games for fun in the future. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: Desegregation of higher education has produced significant improvements in education for all Americans. The opening up of segregated colleges and universities to students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds came about only as the result of many forms of prolonged struggle in the courts, in the streets, and on campuses. The efforts to open up higher educational opportunities for blacks in historically white institutions also led to expanded opportunities for lower and middleclass white students, especially at institutions that adopted “open admissions policies of accepting all high school graduates. Between 1960 and 1981, while the number of black students between the ages of eighteen and twentyfour enrolled in college increased from 134,000 to over 750,000, the number of white students in the same age group grew from just over 2 million to over 6.5 million. In 1960 more than onehalf of blacks attending colleges were enrolled at historically black institutions, By 1981 that percentage had declined to just 18 per cent. Most of the blacks enrolled in traditionally white institutions, however, were at twoyear community colleges or at fouryear public colleges that were becoming or had already become predominantly black. Desegregation of higher education produced difficult problems for historically black institutions that had always struggled under great hardship to provide higher education for blacks when blacks had been barred from white institutions. Historically black institutions, however, have continued to produce a high percentage of the most educationally and professionally successful blacks in the United States. Meanwhile, blacks in predominantly white institutions have achieved notable progress, but they have also encountered various problems. College completion rates for young blacks have increased substantially, but they are only about onehalf the rate for young whites. In 1981, for example, 11.5 percent of blacks aged twentyfive to twentynine and 21.3 percent of whites in that age group had completed college. Blacks continue to be substantially underrepresented in graduate and professional schools in the United States. During the early 1980s blacks comprised about 6 percent of students in graduate school and medical school and about 4 percent of all law school students. Blacks also received about 4 percent of all doctoral degrees, but over half of these degrees were conferred in one discipline—education. In general, since the cry of reverse discrimination was raised during the middle of the 1970s, black progress in higher education has been slowed and perhaps even reversed. 26. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Desegregation of higher education produced many difficulties for historically black institutions. B. The opening up of higher educational opportunities for blacks led to expanded opportunities for white students too. C. Blacks have been historically repressed in graduate and professional schools in the United States. D. Desegregation of higher education has brought more higher educational opportunities for black and white students alike. 27. What can be inferred about the opening up of segregated colleges and universities? A. It came about as the result of a surge in the number of students enrolled in higher institutions. B. It came about as the result of timelong resistance against racial discrimination against blacks. C. It came about when the cry of reverse discrimination was raised. D. It came about when efforts to expand educational opportunities for lower and middleclass black people were intensified. 28. Which of the following is NOT one of the consequences of the opening up of segregated colleges and universities? A. Black students were substantially underrepresented in graduate and professional schools in the United States. B. It brought a significant increase in the number of white students. C. It created thorny problems for historically black institutions. D. The number of black students between eighteen to twentyfour years old enrolled in college greatly increased. 29. What can we learn from the figures provided in the text? A. By 1981 most of the blacks attending colleges were not enrolled in historically black institutions. B. From 1960 to 1981 there were altogether 4.5 million white students enrolled in college. C. College completion rates for young blacks are below onehalf the rate of young whites. D. During the early 1980s over half of the doctoral degrees obtained by black students were conferred in other disciplines than education. 30. Which of the following is true about historically black institutions? A. The students in historically black institutions are no longer predominantly black after the opening up of segregated institutions. B. They created many problems for their students. C. They achieved notable progress even though they were under great hardship. D. The number of historically black institutions dropped in the 1960s and 1970s. Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Telecommuting—substituting the computer for the trip to the job—has been hailed as a solution to all kinds of problems related to office work. For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with childcare conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps keep high performance on board, minimizes tardiness and absenteeism by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for highconcentration tasks, and provides schedule flexibility. In some areas, such as Southern California and Seattle, Washington, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rushhour congestion and improve air quality. But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images. Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as telecommuters. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two. And accountant stays home to care for her sick child; she hooks up her telephone modem connections and does office work between calls to the doctor. These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize, much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done. Management, too, must separate the myth from the reality. Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employees situations, not the availability of technology, that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement. That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with workathome programs or policy guidelines remains small. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Telecommuting is gaining vast popularity as a new mode of working. B. Although telecommuting has a lot of advantages, its implementation in realities remains limited. C. There have been a lot of illusory images about telecommuting. D. It is very hard to accomplish anything with distractions around. 32. What can be inferred about telecommuting? A. It is most popular in areas such as accounting, computer programming, and business management. B. Benefits of telecommuting are quite obvious and easy to achieve. C. The idea and practice of telecommuting has received a lot of media attention. D. The idea of telecommuting is so attractive many people are engaged in putting it to practice. 33. Which of the following is not mentioned as advantage of telecommuting? A. less time wasted in traffic B. scheduling flexibility C. periods of solitude D. better concentration on work 34. Which of the following is an appropriate example of telecommuting? A. A technical writer sending documents created at home via computer. B. A scientist in a laboratory developing plans for a space station. C. A computer programmer preparing an office computer network. D. A teacher conducting computerassisted teaching program in a private school. 35. Which of the following was mentioned as a possible disadvantage of telecommuting? A. Electrical malfunctions may destroy a carefully planned project. B. Computer technology may not live up to accommodate modern needs. C. Children may not be able to appreciate the boundaries between work and family life. D. Some resources may not be accessible at home. Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: When it was started in the 1960s, it was considered a grand experiment that would make Latin American nations rich. Today, that grand experiment has become a disaster that has damaged both the economy and the environment of many South American nations. The grand experiment was cattle ranching. Many South American governments, plagued by failures to establish crop farms in tropical regions, turned to cattle ranching to help solve their countries economic problems. From 1965 to 1978, South American nations spent a combined total of more than $1 billion to develop a cattleraising industry. At one point, Brazil had as many as 336 cattle ranches. Why did these countries invest so heavily in cattle ranching? Well, demand for beef was high in the United States and in other industrial nations. It was felt that cattle raised in the tropical regions of South America could be sold to the U.S. and other nations for a handsome profit. The cost of providing beef was low in South America because the cattle were to feed on the lush grasslands in the tropical areas. Everything about the cattle ranching plans sounded promising. However, the promise did not last long. It turned out that the grassfed cattle from South America processed meats such as hot dogs and cold cuts. The grassfed cattle did not bring high price. Even though demand for beef in the United States and other nations were high, consumers in these nations were not willing to accept grassfed beef, staying instead with beef fed on corn and grain. There were other problems as well. The quick growth of the cattle raising industry led to such environmental problems as being overgrazed and soil erosion.Also,the grasses in the tropics were infested with weeds that were poisonous to cattle. These toxic weeds put a further dent in the economic promise of cattle ranching. Today, nearly every South American nation that had jumped on the cattle ranching bandwagon has abandoned the project. 36. Which of the following is NOT true about the cattle ranching industry in South America? A. Many South American nations put in vast amount of investments into this project. B. It turned out to be a failure even though it had brought handsome profits to some South American nations in the beginning. C. It became an environmental disaster for being overgrazed of grasslands and soil erosion. D. People expected it would help South American nations solve their financial problems. 37. What was the reason that the cattle ranching project did not bring large profits as it was supposed to? A. The demand for beef in the United States and other major beef consumers in the world suddenly dropped. B. The cattle ranching project created serious problems and some of the money invested had to be diverted to lessen the damage to the environment. C. Consumers dont like the taste of the beef South American nations produce. D. The growth poisonous weeds in grazing areas killed a large number of cattle. 38. What does the word “lush in the third paragraph mean? A. growing thicklyB. plentiful C. healthyD. beautiful 39. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. The tropical areas in South America are not ideal locations for the cultivation of crops. B. The United States and other major consumers of beef are not cooperative in South American nations project because they are developing cattle ranches themselves. C. Grassfed beef tastes better than beef fed on corn and grain. D. Brazil, who put in the greatest amount of investment, suffered the most heavy loss in the failure of the project. 40.

There is a lot of specialization, a great deal of attention to the individual, a vast amount of advanced technical equipments, and intense effort not make mistakes because of the financial risk which doctors and hospitals must face in the courts if they handle things badly. But the Americans are in a mess. The problem is the way which health care is organized and financed. Contrary to public belief it is not just a free competition system. To the private system has been joined a large public system, because private care was simply not looking after the less fortunate and elderly. But even with this huge public part of the system, which this year will eat up 84.5 billion dollars—more than 10 per cent of the U.S. Budget—large numbers of Americans are left off. These include about half the 11 million unemployed and those who fail to meet the strict limits on income fixed by a government trying to make savings where it can. The basic problem, however, is that there is no central control about the health system. There is no limit to what doctors and hospitals charge with their services, other than what the public is able to pay. The number of doctors has shot up and prices have climbed. When faced by toothache, a sick child, or a heart attack, all the unfortunate person concerned can do is pay up. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80.

Part III Short Answer Questions (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words). We have all heard the saying, “You are what you eat”. But how many of us are willing to admit that the expression applies to us as well as to all those unidentified people out there? Current research suggests that the majority of Americans have bad eating habits, and some of this is determined by our lifestyle, which demands that we eat quickly and inexpensively. What are the commonest foods on the American menu? Hamburgers and French fries, sugarladen drinks; pies and whipped cream, malts (麦芽酒) and ice cream. Apart from an occasional broiled hamburger, all the things on that list are bad for us. And there are certain prophets of doom who predict that all those fatladen fast foods provide us with only one thing—a faster road to the grave. On the other hand, there are those who claim that the basic fastfood meal contains all the nourishment you need. After all, there are meat, milk, salad (if you have the extras), and bread. And if you have a cheeseburger instead of a hamburger, you are doing yourself an extra favor by adding additional protein. What these good news gossips are overlooking is the usually pulpy bun; the excess of sugar in the malt or Coke; and the overdose of salt that is sprinkled on the hamburger to make it palatable (美味的). So you decide to stay away from the hamburger joint, and buy your food from the supermarket. Are you any better off? Not if you buy frozen or canned food. The experts tell us that canned and frozen vegetables contain sugar, as well as all sorts of preservatives that are not doing anything to improve your health. According to these people, the only way to be sure your food is good for you is to buy it and cook it fresh. And then, of course, you have to eat it—and that creates another problem. The speed of todays world has encouraged many of us to eat far too fast. We do not chew our food enough, and we eat on the run or we jump up and start running the minute we finish eating. Questions: 86. The author suggest that Americans eat too much. 87. According to the author, foods such as are bad for us (list as least three of them). 88.

Section B Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the question will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A., B., C. and D., and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Passage One Man has a big brain. Scientists used to think that man are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that animals can learn, too. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, angry or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand some things more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words. But they still are very different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to develop civilization because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animals learn to speak. Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. 11. What is the difference between man and animals? 12. Which of the following is true about apes? 13. At what age can a child speak very well? Passage Two No man can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if you study correctly the signs around us we can tell important changes in weather. This way of telling what the weather will be on the following day or two is called weather forecasts. For many centuries and in all countries people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near. This is a sign of much water vapor in the air, and therefore rain will probably come. Rings round the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel pain in their bones. This is a sign of the coming of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming. They fly near the ground if rain or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows always come in the evening. If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise then the day will be warm. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If the rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting. Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard. 14. What kind of weather will it be when distant objects such as hills and tall trees seem to be very clear and near? 15. When do some people have pains in their bones? 16. What is a sign of a rainbow in the morning? Passage Three The home is the central focus of most young peoples lives in Britain, particularly for those who are still attending school. The majority rely upon their home environment as a place of security and upon their parents as the main providers of food, money and other necessity of life—as well as general advice. Young people spend a large proportion of their leisure time at home with other members of their family or with friends. After the home, school is the main social environment where children not only receive their formal education but also develop their identities within peer groups. All school children in Britain are encouraged to take up activities which complement their academic and vocational education and help to identify their individual talent, such as sports, drama, music and creative pursuits. Many of these form part of the school curricula. The personal development and informal social education of young people aged from 11 to 25 is also promoted by the Youth Service in Britain. The Service is a partnership between law authorities and a large number of voluntary organizations. A recent survey estimated that nearly six million young people in this age group are either current or past participants in the Service. Youth clubs and centers are the most common types of Youth Service provision, encouraging their members to participate in sport, cultural and creative activities, and community service. Some also provide information and counseling. Youth clubs may be branches of national or international bodies or they may be entirely local institutions. Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. 17. Where do most British young people spend their spare time? 18. What do children do at school? 19. According to a recent survey, how many British young people are either current or past participants in the Youth Service? 20. Members of Youth clubs are encouraged to participate all of the following activities except. Section C (Compound Dictation) Directions: In this section you will hear a passage three times. During the first reading, you should listen carefully for a general idea of the whole passage. Then listen to the passage again. When the first part of the passage is being read, you should fill in the missing word during the pause at each blank. After listening to the second part of the passage, you are required to write down the main points according to what you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read the third time you can check what you have written. Advertising has become a very specialized activity in modern times. In the business world of today, supply is usually greater than demand. There is great competition between different manufacturers of the same kind of product to persuade customers to buy their own particular brand. They always have to remind the customer of the name and qualities of their product. They do this by advertising. The manufacturer advertises in the newspapers and on posters. He sometimes pays for songs about his products in commercial radio programs. He employs attractive sales girls to distribute sample product. Most important of all, in countries that have TV, he has advertisements put into the program that will accept them. Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements. We buy a particular product because we think that it is the best. We usually think so because of the advertisements that say so. Some people never pause to ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth.
